On April 30, I 996, Doug Moore of the NC Superfund Section traveled to the
Koppers Co. NPL .•site to oversee a meeting between members of Cummings-Riter
Consultants and Watec. Doug arrived at the site at 10:55 a.m. and met with Mr. Bruce
Geno, project engineer with Cummings-Riter Consultants ("Cummings"). The night
before the meeting, it had rained heavily. A slow but steady rain came down in the
morning and the temperatures were in the upper 60's to low 70's.
Mr. Geno provided a brief overview of the surface water remediation at the
subject site. Mr. Geno indicated that the surface water remedial action at the Fire pond
and the Medlin pond was contracted to Watec. He indicated that the southeast corner of
the Fire pond had to be regraded due to surface drainage concerns. Mr. Geno specifically
mentioned that a "mud wave" and pockets of standing water were indicators of storm
water drainage problems on the surface of the Fire Pond. He characterized these drainage
problems as primarily isolated to the Fire pond and not the Medlin pond. Mr. Geno
thinks its is due to the differences in grade over the surface of the Fire pond. The site
generally slopes to the northeast toward the Fire pond; thus, the grade at the southwest
end of the pond is greater than the grade at the northeast end.
At 11 :20, a meeting was held between Bruce Geno of Cummings and Joseph
Gunn and Rodney Jones of Watec. Mr. Bill Smith of Cummings arrived about 15
minutes into the discussion. Mr. Geno provided a copy of the preliminary punchlist
submitted by Cummings to Watec. The punchlist outlines tasks that Cummings wants
Watec to complete at the Fire pond and Medlin pond remedial areas. The punchlist had
• •
15 items listed for Watec to complete at the Fire pond and 9 items for Watec to complete
at the Medlin pond. Mr. Geno had previously discussed these points with Watec, but
agreed to review them for the benefit of Doug Moore. A copy of the punchlist with notes
about comments made during the meeting is attached. Checkmarks denote tasks
suggested by Cummings that have already, or were in the process of being, completed by
Watec.

Meeting Notes
Fire Pond
Mr. Geno opened the meeting by reviewing the punchlist items for the Fire pond.
Of the 15 items on the list, 7 items were cosmetic, 7 items were related to storm water
drainage issues and 1 item (abandon monitoring well MW-9) was apparently carried over
from previous work. As of April 30, 1996, Watec had completed 5 punchlist items at the
Fire pond; 3 items were cosmetic, 1 item was related to storm water drainage and I item
was from previous work. The cosmetic items completed include disposal of plastic tubs,
removal and disposal of bridge diversion ditch culvert sections and removal of large
rocks stockpiled near the Fire pond. Mr. Gunn indicated that Watec had started blading
of the Fire pond diversion ditches that morning and would continue to regrade and finally
reseed the ditches. Mr. Geno stated that Watec had abandoned monitoring well #9 as
requested.
Of the remaining items on the punchlist to be completed at the Fire pond, 5 items
were cosmetic and 5 items were related to storm water drainage issues. The cosmetic
issues consisted of (I) removal and disposal of plastic sheeting and old tires, (2) chipping
trees stockpiled by others, (3) removal of limbs and root matter from the Fire pond fill
surface, (4) repair of damaged fence east of Fire pond and (5) placing topsoil over the
processed fill at the southeast comer of the Fire pond prior to seeding. Mr. Gunn's
response to each of these items was: (I) the plastic sheeting and old tires were to be
landfilled as construction waste. (2) the trees were going to a mill to be used as
pulpwood. (3) Watec would have a Field Technician clean the root matter from the Fire
pond surface within the next week. ( 4) the fence contractor would return to the site and
repair the damaged fence. (5) Mr. Gunn agreed that the area in question needs to be
corrected. Watec will use existing fill on the site and regrade the area.
The 5 remaining items address potential storm water drainage issues at the Fire
pond. These items are (6) regrade and reseed the disturbed Fire pond perimeter road
ditch near the northwest comer, (7) Install an underdrain in the Fire pond (8) Grade the
area south of remaining concrete pad at north end of the Fire pond and adjacent to the
proposed soil excavation area #3 to drain. (9) Grade the ruts created during
disking/planting operations in the Fire pond and (I 0) Fine grade the Fire pond surface.
Mr. Gunn's response to each of these items was: (6) Watec will correct Fire pond
perimeter road ditch to allow better drainage and reseed. (7) Watec will correct as soon
as the weather conditions and the stability of the surface fill permit (at this time, the fill is
too wet and too soft to use heavy equipment). (8) Watec will grade the area as soon as
the weather permits. Will probably be within the next 2 weeks. (9) Mr. Gunn stated that
2
•
Watec will complete regrade and contractor will do the seeding, in probably 2-3 weeks.
(10) Mr. Gunn said that Fire pond is too wet to do fine grade with heaiy equipment.
Watec will bring in Field Technicians to do hand-work with wheelbarrows and fine grade
using the existing fill. Note: The last item included to address Cummings doncerns over
standing pockets of water on the fill surface at the Fire pond.
Other additional areas discussed include the stabilization of the Fire
1
pond dam,
construction and stabilization of a retention basin below the Fire pond dam and
construction and stabilization of a headwall on the northwest side of McCririlmons Road.
Mr. Smith indicated that the headwall and basin were adjustments from\ the original
construction designs that were previously approved by the Superfund Section and EPA.
Mr. Gunn indicated that Watec will excavate a section below the Fire pond darn (leaving
the dam as much in place as possible) to serve as a retention basin. This\ area will be
stabilized by rip-rap to slow the flow rate and control erosion. The main idea is to allow
the runoff from the Fire pond to lose energy prior to entering the storrri pipe under ' McCrimmons road. The basin will be constructed in a flare-pattern that will ,hold a larger
I volume of runoff and direct it to the headwall and through the pipe under McCrimrnons
Road. In addition, Mr. Gunn stated that rip-rap will be placed in the drainage\ ditch on the
southeast side of McCrimmons road to slow the flow rate and control erosion as well.
Mr. Gunn was concerned about how the construction of the headwall will ~ffect utility
lines (water lines) that run along the northwest side of McCrimmons road. Mr. Smith
commented that the basin and headwall plan would meet DOT regulations.
1.2 Medlin Pond
Mr. Geno continued to outline items on the punchlist to be corrected at the Medlin
pond. Of the 9 items listed on the punchlist, 6 items are cosmetic and 3 aie related to ' storm water drainage issues. According to Mr. Geno, Watec has completed 3 of the 6
cosmetic items. These are (I) seed Medlin pond berms and disturbed area d6wnslope of
the last berm, (2) remove the Medlin pond perimeter fence and (3) remote and chip
remaining logs and limbs. Item (I) is currently under a separate contract fiom Watec.
' Watec is currently in the process of completing item 3. Mr. Gunn will probable place the
remaining wood logs and limbs in municipal landfill. He requested inforrilation from
the State on facilities that recycle yard waste in Wake county? \
The remaining 3 cosmetic issues outlined by Cummings are: (4) place topsoil over
the processed fill at the north end of the Medlin pond, (5) cover the exposed se1diments on
the east side and south end of the Medlin pond and (6) remove the plastic fle~ pipe from
the overflow drainage ditch connecting the Fire pond and Medlin pond. Mr. Gunn's
response to these items was: (4) ?, (5) Watec has already covered the expbsed areas.
' Watec proposed to add geotextile and rock to prevent further erosion. (6) WI atec will
remove the plastic pipe at the final regrade.
The 3 storm water drainage issues at the Medlin pond were: (7) remove, grade
' and line the overflow drainage ditch leading to the Medlin pond with rock. (8) smooth
grade and place seed/soil amendments in removed access road area to Medlin\pond, and
(9) fine grade the Medlin pond berms to form a v-shape. Mr. Gunn indicated that: (7)
3
• •
Watec will regrade and shape the overflow drainage ditch with a swale that slopes toward
the Medlin pond. This area will also be reseeded. (8) Watec currently waiting for
weather to break to bring in equipment to reshape the road area so that it slopes towards
the Medlin pond (9) The berms do not match those outlined in the original plans. Watec
plans to modify the berms to match the plans. They will protect the berms with matting.
I Mr. Smith mentioned the as-built drawing that were to be provided to Cummings
following completion of the project. Watec agreed to provide a final base\ map of both
ponds using 50' x 50' grids showing drainage ditches and lines. Smith commented that
I
50' x 50' grids are adequate, but that the surveyor (Post and Associates) should be able tie
the points and that map should show the depth of fill, elevations and have co6rdinates.
Mr. Geno requested the priority in which the project would be c~mpleted by I
Watec. Mr. Gunn indicated that Watec would be working on several of these projects
concurrently and that he expects to reseed/stabilize the Medlin porid dam and
construction of the headwall and retention basin to take priority. Mr. Gunn ihdicated that
some of the regrade projects at both ponds are weather dependent and that hJ could make
no promises about the exact completion date. However, if the weather holds) he expected
to have the projects completed within 3 week. Mr. Smith and Mr. Gunn agrJed to have a
follow-up site inspection, tentatively arranged for May 24, 1996.
2.0 Site Inspection
At 12: 15, the entire group walked to the northwest corner of the Fire pond. The
ground at this location was saturated and very soft. Fresh grass covers a m./jority of the
northwest corner of the Fire pond surface. Small pools of standing water were observed
' on the surface of the Fire pond. Two piles of debris ( one small pile of car tires and one
medium pile of trees, stumps and limbs) were observed at the northeast come~ of the Fire
pond.
We walked to a small brick building and concrete pad at the western edge of the
Fire pond. The drainage ditch along the perimeter road northwest of these structures was
clogged with fill and debris. As a result, the upgradient areas were drainin~ across the
perimeter road and runoff was pooling at the north end of the brick building.I Mr. Gunn
I
stated that the ditch had been inadvertently blocked and that Watec would clean out the
ditch to route the runoff away from the Fire pond. Numerous pools of struiding water
were observed over the surface soil at the eastern edge of the concrete pad.\ Mr. Gunn
commented that this area was usually wet. This is one the areas to be addressed on the
punchlist. \
We walked to the southeast comer of the Fire pond. This area had been recently
graded to improve the drainage. However, there were numerous pools of stariding water
I over the surface. This is another area to be addressed by Watec as part of the final grade.
A small pile of concrete drainage pipes (approx. 12 inch diameter) was obsehed in this
area. \
We walked northeast along McCrimmons road to the point where runoff from the
Fire pond drains under the road. The vegetation on the northwest side of MdCrimmons
road has been cleared from the dam. Some soil was apparently excavated frohl the dam
' face and from the bottom of the ditch that runs parallel to McCrimmons road. A small
4
•
cut has been made into the face of the dam to allow runoff to pass through the dam. The
dimensions of the cut are estimate to be IO feet wide at the top by 7 feetJ high. A silt
fence has been placed across the cut to slow the velocity of runoff leaving the Fire pond.
' A low velocity stream of water was observed running through the cut and down the face
of the Fire pond dam to the ditch along McCrimmons road. A buildup of silt and
sediment was observed in the ditch at the base of the dam. At this point, the lrunoff enters
an 18 inch concrete pipe that directs it underneath McCrimmons road. I Mr. Smith
indicated that the headwall will be constructed along the northwest face of McCrimmons
road. Mr. Gunn commented that Watec plans to stabilize the basin area with 1rip-rap.
We walked southeast to the drainage ditch on the opposite side of McCrimmons
road. A 12-14 inch diameter corrugated plastic pipe connected to the conctete drainage
pipe, ran through the center of the drainage ditch and under a secondary! access road
towards the Medlin pond. According to the punchlist, this pipe will be removed from the
drainage ditch. Mr. Gunn confirmed Watec's commitment to grade and line. the drainage
ditch with rip-rap to slow the velocity of runoff and control erosion. There was a small
pile of wood chips and logs stacked at the north end of the Medlin pond secondary access
road adjacent to McCrimmons road. J
We walked south along a secondary access road to the north end of the Medlin
pond. The Medlin pond has been filled with clean, native soil. Three sfuall earthen
berms are constructed at 30-40 foot intervals in the drainage path over the sfuface of the
Medlin pond. The berms were designed by EAP, contractors for Beazor East! as part of a
wetland mitigation plan. According to Mr. Gunn, EAP recently planted maples, black ' willows and arrowroot over the surface of the Medlin pond to establish a '!'transitional
wetland". The surface water backs up behind each of the berms, then through a gap in the
berm and flows downgrade to the next berm and ultimately to the Medlin pond dam.
According to Mr. Gunn, the berms are designed to slow the runoff long enoJgh to cause
the soil behind each berm to become saturated. A silt fence has been placdd along the
length of the Medlin pond dam to control erosion. The berms and dam ar~ to be final
graded, stabilized and reseeded.
We walked back to the trailers and I departed the site at 13:15 p.m.

Availability key to bioremediation
Availability is one of the most critical engineering
challenges to the success of soil bioremediation at
hazardous waste site, an industry expert contends.
"You've got to get the bacteria in contact with the
contamination," said Susan Henry. an environmental
engineer with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. Henry's
remarks came at theHaz Mat West '95 conference this
week in Long Beach, Calif.
Making the jump from laboratory-scale to field-scale
success is another source of frustration to proponents of
the technology. The site-specific conditions dictate what
type of technology will work, Henry said. "Each site
possesses its own unique challenges," she added.
And not all bacteria are created equal. Sometimes
microorganisms will work effectively to break down
an melange of contaminants, but if the wrong contami-
nant is present, the whole system can break down.
"Mixtures [of contaminants] have a great impact" on
the success of soil bioremediation, Henry said. Trace
metals in the soil are a major source of frustration at
some sites.
Competitive. inhibition also works against some
cleanups, as two or more compounds fight for space on
a particular enzyme.
Client acceptance still poses a barrier to the use of
carbon adsorption and the pond area will be backfilled with clean soil.
Treated water will be discharged to an on-site dra

Researchers work to define "clean" soil
When soil is contaminated with hydrocarbons\ the key question is:
How clean is clean? \
The goal is to end up with conditions considered environmentally
I acceptable so no further action required. However there is substantial
debate on what is an environmentally acceptable c6ncentration of
contaminants in soil. \
Research in the past nine years shows hydrocarbons are biode-
graded by indigenous soil microorganisms to a con~entration that no
longer decreases, or that decreases very slowly, with continued ·
treatment. 'l
Studies by the Gas Research Institute also show reductions in

site and left it there. . harmful chem_icals, seemed to
work. But during tests of the BCD
method on tainted soil in Califor•
nia this· summer, worrisome
amounts of dioxin leaked from Ute
machine into the air.
So Shiloh residents reluctantly
agreed to something they never
wanted -having the dirt trucked
· to another state;
"We tried not to carry our prolr
lems to somebody else's baCk
yard," said resident Peggy l\ledlin.
"We didn't have a choice but to give
· up the fighl"
State and federal environmental
agencies told the community last
monU1 that more tests of the BCD
process could delay Ute cleanup
another year. Even Uten, there's no
· guarantee that more lime would fix
the dioxin problem, they said.
Shiloh is one of a handful of com•
munities in the SouU1, most of them
black or poor, trying to deal respon-
sibly wiUt the poisons Uiat indus-
tries have left in their neighbor•
hoods, said Hon Nixon of the Insti-
tute for Southern Studies. Com-
munities searching for new ways
to treat tainted soil know it often
ends up in landfills near other-pre-
dominantly black neighborhoods.
"That's what distinguishes the
environmental justice movement
from Ute 'not in my backyard' men-
tality," Nixon said. ·
Medlin and Hope Taylor, the com-
munity's technical advisor, said
they were most disappointed by the
attitude of ETG Environmental
Inc., the company in Blue Bell, Pa.,
that's developing the soil-cleansing
technique. ·
Even after she learned of the

wanted to have the BCD process
tested again in Morrisville. But
ETG didn't provide satisfactory
information on improvements it
would make to the air pollution con-
trol equipment, or a timetable for
finishing them, she said.
"We felt pretty disappointed in
the performance of the company
and their ability to respond in a
timely fashion to the concerns of
the EPA folks," Taylor said.
When the BCD method was test-
ed iri Morrisville in 1993, dioXin
emissions registered a 4 on the
scale used to measure emissions,
slightly above the state guideline
of 3. When BCD was tested in Cal-
.· ifornia this summer, dioxin emis-
,. sions hit 400.
For its part, ETG representatives
said they have responded to every-
one's questions about the BCD
technology. The machines worked,
but the results were misinterriret-
ed, they said
"There seems to be a position
that if there's any dioxin released,
there's a problem," said Steve
Detwiler; director of market devel-
opment for ETG. "There was an
extremely small risk to the com-
munity."
Nevertheless, the company has
improved the process, he said, and
will test its new apparatus within
the next six months. ·
"In response to some of these
issues, we have developed our
third-generation design that would
meet a standard of 3," Detwiler
said. .
Loren Martin, vice president of
business development at ETG, said
the company would have used the
updated technology in Morrisville.
"It doesn't look like we'll get that
chance, unfortunately."
The Koppers Chemical Co. pol-
luted the soil and water in Shiloh
when it treated wood with penta-
chlorophenol, or PCP, between
1968 and 1975. Tainted water was
poured into lagoons and sprayed
on the ground nearby, contaminat-
ing soil, ponds. and groundwater.
The EPA estimates that 700 cubic
yards of soil will have to be exca-
vated and carted away.
Beazer East Inc., a Pittsburgh
stone and gravel firm, bought the
52-acre property off N.C. 54 in 1988.
•
Beazer is paying for the cleanup,
estimated to cost between .$8 mil-
lion and $10 million.
The Koppers site was added to
the Superfund list in 1989, but it
was just last week that a contractor
started to drain and treat water
from two ponds on the property.
Even as she watches the cleanup
she waited years to see, Medlin's
relief is clouded by disappointrnenl
"I feel that the company [ETG] let
us down," Medlin said.
Nixon, however, places the blame
on regulatory agencies that auto-
matically look to incineration to
handle contamination problems ·
rather than working full-force on
new solutions. Communities like
Shiloh that are willing to try some-
thing new ofte~ get tired or frus-
trated trying to work with the EPA ..
"It's a long fighl And there are a
lot of elderly people. They just can't
sustain a fight like that," Nixon
said.
If Shiloh hadn't fought to take
responsibility for its pollution prob-
lem, the community would have
been cleared of the contaminated
dirt by now.
But state environmental officials
say residents deserve credit for try-
ing to do the right thing.
"These folks really made history
by trying to have the waste treated
in their back yard," said Pat
Williamson, spokesman for the
state Division of Solid Waste Man-
agement.
"They really twisted EPA:s arm to
try some other proces.s, rather Ulan
shipping the waste off to some
other area," she said.
Although it didn't get the results
it wanted, Shiloh is putting up one
more fight. Residen~ don't want
the polluted soil from their neigh-
borhood taken to a hazardous-
waste incinerator that's been
forced on some other community.
State solid-waste officials are
Looking for an EPA-approved incin-
erator that meets Shiloh's criteria,
and think a plant in Kansas might
be a candidate. ·
And the Shiloh residents' efforts
might yet benefit a North Carolina
community, said Mike Kelly, deputy
director of the solid-waste division.
ETG might test its refined process
at a contaminated landfill in War-
ren County, Kelly said, essentially
picking up with the new technology
where Shiloh left off.
"This by no means is a failure,"
he said.

Tribes get state envlro powers
EPA has signed a series of agreements with 11
Minnesota Indian tribes granting them the power to
formulate and enforce their own environmental
regulations, much as states have now.
Under a number of agreements signed May 24 at
the Mille Lacs Reservation, EPA's Region 5 deemed
the tribes to have sufficient technical expertise. EPA
will continue to ensure that the regulations comply
with federal standards but will provide assistance
only when asked.
Also, the agency agreed to institute a stronger
Indian office in Region 5 (which also includes
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin) and
to incorporate the tribes into federal budgeting and
planning considerations.
Region 5 is formulating similar agreements with
another 18 tribes in Michigan and Wisconsin.

L-P no further action proposed
EPA has issued a proposed plan for no further
action at the Louisiana-Pacific Corp. NPL site in
Oroville, Calif., following soil and groundwater
sampling that indicate the site poses no environmen-
tal or human health threats.
Additional limited groundwater monitoring west
of the plant will be required, however, under an order
issued in April by the state Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
Soil and groundwater sampling was required under
an interim ROD signed in 1990, which also called for
deed restrictions prohibiting residential development
and well permit restrictions. These controls would also
be abolished under the proposed plan.

CK.oppers..1pump-••treat bids near in N.C.
Bids for on-site groundwater pump-and-treatment with carbon
adsorption could be solicited in four to six weeks at the Koppers Co.
Inc. NPL site in Morrisville, N.C.
Also to be bid in the same package is the excavation and on-site
treatment via base catalyzed dechlorination (BCD) of between 500 and
1,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil.
Cummings Riter Consultants Inc. of Newark, Del., as the prime
contractor for PRP Bea7.er East Inc., is preparing bid packages for the
work but cannot solicit the bids until EPA approves the remedial action
work plan, which is under agency review. EPA is expected to get back to
the consultant with its work plan comments/approval in four to six weeks.
Groundwater and soil are contaminated primarily with pentachlo-
rophenol (PCP) and dioxin. Groundwater will be treated at a rate of 10
gallons per minute. Treatment will include flow equalization, filtration
for the removal of suspended solids, and carbon adsorption. Extracted
groundwater will be sent to a yet-to-be built treatment plant, and
treated water will be discharged to an existing on-site surface water
drainage ditch if the technology can achieve state surface water
discharge requirements.
EPA set the soil cleanup goals for PCP at 95 parts per million and
dioxin/furans at seven parts per billion. However, EPA said that Beazer
has imposed a more stringent cleanup goal of 9.5 ppm for PCP to
ensure that 90% reduction is achieved. Most of the soil to be addressed
is in the vicinity of the Unit Structure Inc. property. EPA estimates that
BCD treatment will take about 12 weeks.
Also, the gardens of about six local residents in the immediate area
will be sampled in response to citizens' concerns that past land farming
practices and rain runoff from the site may have had an impact.
EPA unilaterally ordered Beazer East to design and construct the
cleanup in April 1993. The ROD called for excavation and off-site
incineration of affected soil but allowed for BCD contingency if
treatability tests looked promising. The test results show BCD as a
viable technology, EPA said.
EPA said that if the operating conditions prove to be "significantly
different" from those of the treatability tests or if the volume of soil to
be addressed turns out to be much greater than expected, the agency
may decide to go back to plan A-incineration.
The 52-acre site at Koppers Road southwest of Highway 54 is
bounded on the southwest by Church Street, and on the east by
Southern Railway. Glue-laminated wood products were manufactured
there beginning in 1962. Wood treating with PCP ceased in 1975.

Design for soil nearly done at Peerless
Design for remediation of soil is complete at the Peerless Plating
NPL site in Muskegon, Mich., but the threatened rescission of
Superfund money this fiscal year has put a construction start this
summer in doubt
The project's status might change with President Clinton's
threatened veto of Congress' rescissions package, which contained
$100 million in Superfund cuts. But chances are that the construction
will be held up regardless, because uncertainty has already caused
delays and priority shifts.
The groundwater system is 95% designed and would be ready to

Re: Koppers Site Habitat Mitigation Plan
Dear Ms. Hudson:
August 9, 1994
AUG 191994
::Ur'!::·-·---
I reviewed the Habitat Mitigation Plan Preliminary Report dated January 1994 ("the
Plan") for the Koppers Superfund Site ("the Site"). My review is on behalf of the Secretary of this
Department in his capacity as trustee for the State's natural resources. We believe the Plan
represents a good step towards natural resource restoration at the Site. However, we have
several concerns at this stage of the design work:
• it is not clear to us that the area proposed for the mitigation work has itself been
delineated and found not to be jurisdictional wetlands.
• we concur with the recommendations of Mr. Augspurger of U.S. Fish & Wildlife that
greater emphasis be given to plantings in the mitigation area that are typical of mature
systems, rather than recently disturbed systems, e.g. water oaks, willow oaks, and black
gum.
• we also concur with Mr. Augspurger's recommendations regarding a preference for
forested wetlands over open water habitats in the mitigation area.
We appreciate the chance to comment on the Plan at this stage. We may have further
comments as the design and implementation proceed.

Superfund hazardous waste. site listed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation. and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended in 1986
KOPPERS CO .. , INC. (MORRISVILLE PLANT) Morrfsville, North Carolina
The Koppers Co., Inc., Site covers 52 acres on Highway 54 West, approximately 1 mile northwest of Morrisville, Wake County, North Carolina. The site was used as a sawmill until 1959, when it was sold to unit Structures, Inc., which produced glue-laminated wood products on-site. Koppers co., I_nc. purchased the site in 1962 and continued the glue-la~inating process. During 1968-75, Koppers used the southeast portion of the site for treating wood. with pentachlorophenol (PCP). Production of laminated wood continued until. September 1986, when the plant was sold .back to Unit Structures. Koppers retained 10 acres of the original site where PCP was used.
waste water from the PCP process was discharged to a pond pn-site. for the first 6 months of operation and then to two unlined lagoons nearby. Kopl)ers closed the lagoons in 1977. Liquid from the lagoons was sprayed over a field on the northeast corner of the property, and the sludge was mixed with soil and spread over the lagoon area in the southeast corner. Ir, 1980 and 1981, Koppers found PCP in on-site soil, wells, and pond water and sediment. In 1980 and 1986, Koppers removed some PCP-contaminated soil fran the lagoon area and transported it to a hazardous waste facility regulated under Subtitle C of the Resource conservation and Recovery Act. contaminated soil remains on-site, however, according to tests conducted by Koppers.
Ground water within 3 miles of the site is the primary source of drinking water for an estimated 2,200 people. The North carolina Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch has detected trace contaminants in some off-site wells.
Run-off from the northeast corner of the site drains eastward to an intermittent creek that flows southeast approximately 2.25 miles to Crabtree Creek. Run-off fran the southeast corner of the site drains to Koppers Pond, which supplies water for fire protection. Intermittent overflow fran Koppers Pond drains south approximately 1,000 feet to Medlin's Pond, which is used for fishing and irrigation of garden crops.
The site is unfenced, making it possible for people and animals to cane into direct contact with hazardous substances.

market for environmental services. a Washington consulting finn said
last month.
In its annual state of the industry report, Farkas Berkowitz & Co.
said growth halted in 1993 for environmental complimlcc-relatc<l
consulting and engineering services.
But lhe federal market rose 8%, growing to 30% of the $9 billion
total market for such.services.
Remediation services held steady at $7 billion. Of Lhe total. 64%
was for consulling, the otl1er 36% for construction. But the breakdown
varied by sector. The constrnction share was 45% for non-Superfuutl
cleanups such as private underground storage tcmk job~. corrective
actions and voluntary remedies. But it was only 20% or !cs . .;; for the
Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund projects and Defense
Dept. cleanups.
The finn's Alan Farkas warned the Environmental Business
Conference '94 in Boston that the Defense Dept. marketplace may look
bigger tlian it really is. "At DOD, remediation contracLOrs may have
anted up for an expensive shell game, given the prospect that the
billions of dollars in contract capacity being generated could be
considerably greater than future actual expenditures." He added, "most
DOD bases have over a half dozen contract vehicles from which to
chose."
Farkas said DOE's assistant secretary for environmental manage-
ment, Tom Grumbly, "is playing hardball with DOE contraclOrs and
employees alike, and Lhis LOugh approach is likely to lead to a promis-
ing market for remediation services."
1l1e finn 's Joan Berkowitz said federal clients account for 15% of
lhe S 1.5 billion analytical services sector, which is in the midst of a
shakeout.

Walker highlights need for personnel
Wann lXJdies. That's what the Anny's environmental progr;un
needs more than anything else. according to it.,;; deputy w;sistant
secretary for environment, Lewis Walker.
Walker told a meeting last week that his first priority after he gets
a new boss is 10 ask for help in gelling i;nvironmental field staff
exempted from strict personnel ceilings .
111e Senate is considering whether to approve tht.: Clinton
administration's nomination of Mike Walker, a Senate military
construction appropriations sutx;ommittec staffer. as assisuint secretary
for installations, logistics and environment (Defense C!eonup.
I I 129/93).
For the first time ever, Walker told the American Ddcn.-;c Pre-
paredness Assn. meeting in Sm1 Antonio l<.L"il week that tile Anny h<L"i
r<..:qucslecl more money for complim1ce th;rn for environmental restora-
tion at active bases.
The FY 1995 request reflects Lile irnpacl of the 1992 Fctleral
Facilities Complinncc Act. The Army must request more money for
ha:t.ardous waste compliance 10 avoid penalties for violations.
Walker showed a table of budget numbers for comparison pur-
poses. But keep in mind the table tracks neither closure cleanup funds
nor cle;mup of formerly used defense sites (FUDS), which the Army
handles !"or all scrvicx:s. Dollars arc in millions:

Dear Mr. Butler:
The U.S. · Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program appreciates your participation in Visitors'
Day activities for the demonstration of the BCD Technology and the SAREX®
THERM-0-DETOX™ System conducted at the Koppers Company Superfund Site in
Morrisville, North Carolina. Enclosed is a list of attendees from the Visitors'
Day.
EPA hopes that the presentations were beneficial and that you gained a
greater understanding of the SITE Program, the technologies, and the Koppers
Company site. These SITE demonstrations will yield valuable performance,
engineering, and cost data that will be used to determine each technology's
effectiveness. The EPA will publish data from these demonstrations in an
Applications Analysis Report (AAR), which will be available in 1994.
If you have questions regarding the S !TE Program or the tech no l ogi es,
please call me at [phone]. For additional copies of the information
distributed at the Visitors' Day, please call Cindy Loney of PRC Environmental
Management, Inc., at [phone].
Again, thank you for your participation in the Visitors' Day; you helped
to make it a great success.
Enclosure
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Koppers Superfund Site Cleanup
Wake County
Morrisville, North Carolina
Air Quality Concems
TI1e Division of Environmental Management has been contacted and requested to
provide comments and guidance on Air Quality matters at the subject site. Even though the
site is registered as a Superfund Site and is not required to obtai.n ar1 Afr Quality pennit
under the Superfund regulation, the Afr Quality standards must be met during the cleanup
operations. To date, our staff has still not received infonnation that iJ1dicates that all Air
Quality standards will be met at the site. Our specific comments are addressed below:
3.
Sufficient infonnation on process operating parameters and pollutant emission
rates has not been provided to date to al.low completion of an engiJ1eeting .
review demonstrati;1g compliance with all applicable Afr Quality regulations.
Ambient air quality monitoring at 'the propeny line to evaluate the PMJO
(inhalable particulate) impact on surrounding homes is needed as the Triassic
clay soil to be treated is very prone to dusting when handled. The site plan
addresses only ambient. pollutant concentration nJc:nJ.i.to.ring on site. A detailed
off-site ambient monitoring plan should be submitted to the Air Quality
Technical Services Branch for approval prior to acmal operation,
Toxic ai.r pollutams listed in 15A NCAC 2H .0610 will be emitted from the
operation. An Air Toxics Review is therefore required. If poteritial facility-
wide emissions of a listed toxic air pollutant exceeds the threshold levels given
in 15A NCAC 2H ,0610, demonstration of compliance with ambient ai.t liJnits
in 15A NCAC 2D .1100 must be provided by dispersion computer modeling.
Prior approval of a modeling protocol must be obtained.

INTRODUCTION
171e U.S. Enviromncn1.11 Protection Agency (EPA) identilics new
methods for haz.irdous waste cleanup through its SITE Program.
Under this prognun, created in 1986, innovative treatment tech-
nologies tha1 may significantly reduce the toxicity, mobility, or
volume of hazardous waste are demonstrated and evaJuauxl. The
SITE Program also g~ncrares reliable performance and cost
infonna1ion on the technologies for use in c\'aluating cleanup
altemaiivcs for similarly contaminated sites.
TI,c tcclu,olo5:· proposed for demonstration is thcBasc-Caulyzcd
Deromposition (BCD) technology developed by EPA's Risk
Reduction Engineering L1bora1ory in Cincinnati, Ohio, using the
SAREX.,TI-lERM-0-DETOX s,'Slcrn developed by ETG Emi-
ronmental, Lie. (ETG). and Separation Md Recovery Systems,
Inc. (SRS). ·n,, l)U[])O,c of this rlr.monm.tion ic w i<:cooo hew
well the technology removes pentachlorophenol (PCP), dioxim,
and f~rans from tJ,e soil at the Koppers Company Superfund site
in Morrisville. Nonh Carolina.
EPA'S SITE PROGRAM
Each year, EPA solicits proposals from private tcclmology devel-
oper,; to demonstrate innovative technologies under the SITE
Pro3ram. Toclmology developers can submit demonstration
proposals any tin1e throughout the year. For each technology
selected, EPA, oft..."!l 110th input from state and regional agencies,
docs tl1e following:
Identifies a site \\oth wastes suitable for lrc.1□nent
Prcp:u-es a tcclmology demonstration plan
Notifies appropriate agencies for intergovernmental and

TECHNOLOGY DESCRl.PTION
11,cBCD technology is an EPA-patented process to remediatc soil
and sludge contaminated \\1th cblorinnted organic compounds.
Based on the process requircn1cnts of the BCD technology, ETG
and SRS have develor...d the SAREX•· 1BERM-O-DETOX
system in cooperation \\itl, EPA to evalu:uc the effectiveness of
this prOC<..-ss under rcnl-time conditions in the field.
1l1e SAREX~THERJ\!-O-DETOX S)'stcm is based on a proven
indirect-heal medium temperature thennal desorinion (MTITI)
unit. 1l1c unit is equipp-"'11vith a multiple-shaft agitator for high
he..,t transfer efficiency and e-,ceUent local mixing action.
1l1e BCD physical/chemical process dc,1oxifies and chemically
deeomooses conlaminants bv removin~ chlorine atoms. Com-. . ~
p0tmds tr.,t the BCD process can decompose include polychlori-
natC<I biphcnyls (PC!3), PCP. chlorinated dibenwdio:uns and
furans, insecticides, and herbicides.
111t~ process beg.ins by mixing an inorganic reagent with the
contamirunod soil, sediincnl, or liquid. Tnc mixturcis heated in the
M1TD unit for about I hour at 650 °F to 80(1 °F. Some of the
chlorinac:d oontaminams are decomposed during this stcp. TI,e
remaining organic contaminants arc thermally desorbcd and re-
mo\'ed "ith the off gas.
2
Cleai1 soil exiting the solid reactor can lx: returned to the site. Tne
remaining contaminants from thl: vapor condensate and residual
dust arc captured and tl"~ted for 2 to 4 hours ar approximately
650 °f in a liquid-tank reactor (L TR). 1i1c L TR uses a high-
boiling-poinL hydrocarbon, a proprict,ry catalySt, and soclium
hydroxide. Nitrogen is purged through the L TR to control o",'gen
levels, preventing tk tank contents from oxidizing or igniting.
Oily residuals remaining in the LTR contain dust and sludge and
arc combustible. 1l1ey .can be bumed in an oil-fired power plant
or trca1C<i and reclaimed by waste oil recyclers. The aqueous
condensate from lhe process can be dischnrged to a publicly-
0\\7led treauncm works after being polished through an activated
ca,bon=~ncm proe<..,s. Decontaminntcd sludge can bedisposoo
ofin tl1e same mrumcr as mwiicipal sludge. Spent carbon from the
water polishing can also be treated in this process.
1i1c only by-proclucts produced by the BCD proces, arc biphenvl
and low-boiling olefinics, and sodium chloride.
SIT£ DESCRJPTION
·111c Koppers Company site is loc:uc<l in tiie Shiloh community,

generated from this process, c.alled rinsate. was collected, pro-
cessed to remove the PCP by flocculation. and placed in two
lagoons at the: site for farther trenonent. The rinsatc did however
conrain PCP. 11,e CELLON process was used at the site from
196810 l 975. The two lagoons were closed and emptied in 1976.
Water from the lagoons was sprayed onto tl,e ground at the nortl,
end of the site, and tlte boMm sludges from the lagoons were spread

In 1980, high levels of PCP were fowid in the soils in the fom1er
lagoon are;, 1U1d CELLON processing area. PCP was also detected
in tl,e groundwater. lll 1989 tlie site was added to EPA's National
Priorities List (NPL). A remedial investigation (RI) was con-
ducted, identifying the primary contaminants at tl1c site as PCP,
pol)·cl~orinatcd dibcnzo-p"'1ioxins (PCDD), polychlorinatJJd

indicated that the CELLON processing area and lagoon area
served as sou recs for the migration of contaminants into the

As requested in your November 6, 1992 memo, I am providing to your Section a
1 x 10-6 cancer risk value for groundwater contamination for
pentachlorophenol (PCP). The use of the 1 x 10-6 cancer risk value has been
the recommendation of the Environmental Epidemiology Section as an appropriate
health protective action level. For PCP, the 1 x 10-6 value would correspond
to 0.3 ppb.

As we. had discussed previously, the U.S. EPA has proposed a pentachlorophenol (PCP) cleanup goal of 1 ug/liter (which is the MCL for PCP) for the Koppers Company NPL Site. As you had indicated, this concentration is not equivalent to the 1 x 10-6t-isk level. As you know, the State is continuing to monitor Beazer's private well sampling effort. One issue to resolve is setting an action level at which Beazer will provide bottled water. The State would like to continue its consistent policy of an~action level associated with the 1 x 10-6t-isk level. Therefore, we request that you provide the Superfund Section with a groundwater concentration of PCP associated with the 1 x 10-6t-isk level. It is our intention t_o use this concentration as an action level at which Beazer will provide bottled water.
Also, as a conservative measure at a time when the toxicological studies for PCP were still under revision, Beazer has been providing bottled water to residents that have had any detectable level (with detection limit of 0.01 ug/liter) of PCP in there sampling results. Beazer continues to do so, even for residents who have not had positive hits since. Now that the health studies have been completed and an appropriate action level can be set, it may affect the status of those who are currently receiving bottled water. Depending on the new action level, some

so that EPA could brief us on what they plan to discuss at the Public Meeting that night

proposed plan and present findings of the RI/FS. The public comment period on the
proposed plan begins July 17.
I told Dianne that Bruce Nicholson is the current project lead for the site and that
it would be more appropriate for him to meet with EPA rather than myself. I told her that
both Bruce and Mike were out of the office until Monday and that I would relay the

Off-site Disposal Options
In reference to you letter dated June 3, 1992 concerning disposal
options for material from the Morrisville site, I apologize for not
responding sooner. When I received your request I did, however,
assign my consultant the task of reviewing the availability of
current options. Based on their review, I am pleased to report
that currently Aptus, a subsidiary of Westinghouse Corporation,
operates a permitted hazardous waste incinerator in Coffeyville,
Kansas. According to their representative, John Blandamer (l-800-
292-2558), the facility is currently permitted to process FO32
soils containing pentachlorophenol and dioxin. My consultants also
contacted several other companies with operating incinerators, but
found that none were currently permitted.
We feel this is encouraging news that there is a facility available
for offsi te incineration. We thank you for the opportunity to
provide you with this information. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at 412-227-2684.

RESPONSES TO
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COMMENTS
DATED APRIL 6, 1992
Comment #1
Please note that the current name for the agency is the Department of
Environment Health and Natural Resources, Division of
Environmental Management. Groundwater Section.
Response to Comment #1
Comment is noted.
Comment #2
Do any of the monitoring :,yells, either on or off-site, intercept water
producing zones at depths greater than 70 feet? If so, which ones are
these?
Response to Comment #2
During the initial drilling of monitoring wells, water-bearing zones
were intercepted at depths generally less than 55 feet. This
necessitated the revision of the drilling program so that monitoring
wells were completed in water-bearing fracture zones.
Those deep wells where water bearing fractures were encountered
greater than 70 feet were wells C-15B and C-32C. The C-15B well
location is within the drainage feature between the Fire Pond and the
Medlin Pond, and C-32 is proximal to the diabase dike referred to as
the Morrisville dike.

Comment #3
Is C-12C a dry hole?
Response to Comment #3
Mani.taring well C-12C is a 2-inch monitoring well completed with a
screen interval from 201 feet to 191 feet below surface; water-bearing
fracture intervals were encountered at 45 to 49 feet and 62 feet which
were cased off in installation of surface casing. Since this well was
completed over an interval where no water-bearing fractures were
encountered, yield to the well is extremely low. As stated in the RI
text, between July 3 and October 2, 1991, only 1.83 feet of water
accumulated, or approximately 0.02 gallons per day. Though well C-
12C is not "dry", based upon this yield from the bedrock to the well, it
would never be considered a productive water supply well.
Comment #4
Does this mean that water generated during the drilling of all wells in
Figure 2-2 was containerized?
Response to Comment #4
All monitoring wells were drilled either by hollow stem auger or air
rotary methods. No water was generated during these drilling
operations. The circulation water generated from well coring
operations at wells C-12C, C-9C and PW-1 was containerized. Well
development water from the on-site wells and other offsite wells
specified in Response #6 was also containerized.
Comment #5
The well 7-K is listed twice regarding wells at which geological logging
was conducted.
Response to Comment #5
The redundant listing of well 7-K will be deleted.

onto the ground, away from the well head except for near offsite
monitoring wells C-1A, C-1 B. C-2A, C-2B, C-9A, C-9B, C-llA and C-
1 lB, whose purge water was drummed and . stored onsite in
accordance with the RI/FS Work Plan. Purge water from off-site well
C-16C was containerized during the first round sampling event only.
Based upon Round 1 analytical data. no further groundwater
containerization occurred at well C-16C."
Comment #7
Doesn't the SOPQAM call for upstream sampling to precede
downstream sampling?
Response to Comment #7
The EPA Region IV ESB SOP /QAM (1986) does not specifically
state an order of collection in Section 4.6. The rational used for
sampling as specified in Section 5.1.2 of the approved Field Sampling
Plan was to proceed from downstream to upstream locations, as
incorporated into the Work Plan, in order to prevent potential
sediment disturbances from impacting sampling operations.

Response to Comment #8
The · analytical results for PCDDs/PCDFs for the filtered and
unfiltered samples are presented in Table 4-50. The corresponding
TECs are presented on Table 4-50A The "Filtered/Unfiltered"
designations of the samples were accidentally deleted from Table 4-50

Comment #9
In Table 2-9, Round 1 lists location S-16 as being sampled for
PCDDs/PCDFs. As per your previous response to comments, this
should read S-16B. There is no location S-16 in Figure 2-7.

Comment #12
If no significant groundwater was encountered below 55 feet during
drilling, I would expect this was the same for off-site wells. Are the
off-site residential wells also less than 55 feet deep? If not, how can
the off-site monitoring wells be said to reflect conditions in the water
bearing zones tapped by the residential wells?
Response to Comment #12
The rationale for deep off-site well construction is discl.!ssed in
Section 2.2.1.2, which states that if there was no information available
regarding depths of nearby domestic wells, then the boreholes were
terminated at 200 feet. Domestic wells drilled, where fractures occur,
will yield more water than in massive unfractured rock. In the
Morrisville area, water supply wells are typically completed to
intercept water-bearing fractures occurring at shallow depths and
subsequently drilled deeper to have an open hole reservoir capacity
beneath the fractured water-producing zone.

Since background levels of constituents of interest in soils are
discussed in Section 4.1.1.1 and Section 4.1.1.2, background levels of
IPE should also be discussed in these sections.
Response to Comment #13
The following will be added to Section 4.1.1.2, second paragraph; "No
IPE was detected in the soil sample from X-1."
The only soil sample in which a detectable concentration of IPE was
measured was location X-37, which is discussed on page 4-7 of the
text.

prevailing wind direction taken into account here m selecting an
appropriate background?
Response to Comment #14
X-1 was chosen as a background location.due to its proximity to the
site, and because no industrial activity was known to take place in this
area. The area is in a farmers field and is higher in elevation than the
landfarm area. Consequently, the area would not have been effected
by runoff from the landfarm area, Cellon Process area or the lagoon
areas.
Comment #15
The total TEC value measured at SS-1-TP is 3 times higher (4.9 E +
01 J) than the total TEC value measured at X-1-OSN (L6 E + 01 J).
The total TEC value at SS-2-TP (1.3 E + 02 J) is 8 times higher than
the total TEC value measured for X-1-OSN. Are these not
considered significantly above background?
Response to Comment #15
The total TEC of samples SS-1-TP and SS-2-TP are not considered to
be significantly above the background concentration in X-1-OSN.
This is especially true in the context that Beazer's proposed soil
cleanup goal protective of groundwater quality for 2,3,7,8-TCDD in
soil was determined to be 7 ug/kg, a concentration that is over 50
times the maximum TEC of 130 ng/kg.

Comment #17
Could evaluated phenolics in samples SW-25 be attributable to
upstream sediment or runoff from surface soils contaminated by
fallout from the teepee burner?
Response to Comment #17
It is doubtful that the low levels of phenolics detected in the surface
water sample (12.75 ug/L Round 1 and 1.75 ug/L Round 2) is
attributable to fallout from the TeePee burner which was dismantled
between April 1972 and February 1974. Surface water analyses are
generally considered to be indicative of current conditions. There are
other sources of phenolics in the environment which may have
contributed to the low levels of total phenolics detected.

If SW-27 was never sampled it should be omitted from Figure 4-13 or
listed as NA.
Response to Comment #18
The figure will be corrected.
4-38 2 and Comment #19

at O -.5 feet along the entire Fire Pond outflow ditch to the Medlin
Pond? These areas are highly accessible to the public.

Pond. The potential risk, as calculated using EPA guidelines, was
shown to be insignificant.
Comment #20
Due to the high TEC level in S-30, sampling S-29 would help
determine whether these contaminants were contributed by sources
upgradient of the site.
Response to Comment #20
This may be true. However, it should be noted that sample S-29 is
situated on a surface drainage divide (see Figure 3-3), with a runoff
coming from areas to the east. Also, sample S-29 was negative for
penta and the concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs in S-30 is not
considered high comparatively speaking. Finally, there may be other
potential sources of PCDDs/PCDFs from residential burning of trash.

Response to Comment #22
A sample quantitation limit (SOL) is a quantitation limit that varies
from sample to sample due to the application of
dilution/concentration factors and percent solids (for conversion from
wet to dry weights in soil/sediment samples).
Comment #23
Section 2.2 of the revised Draft BRA discusses constituents of
potential interest at the site to include phenolics (12 including PCP),
PCDD/PCDFs and isopropyl ether. It then proceeds to say that the
list can be shortened to PCP and PCDD/PCDFs, IPE, and:± phenolic
compounds (including PCP) as the site COis. Which is the list of
COis and why?
Response to Comment #23
Section 5.1 will be revised to discuss all potential constituents of
interest that were presented in the Baseline Risk Assessment. Eight
additional phenolic compounds will be discussed in detail. The
Baseline Risk Assessment evaluated the health and environment risk
for all potential COis. However, over 99% of the risk is attributed to
two constituents penta and PCDDs/PCDFs.
The other constituents detected on-site included semi-volatile and
volatile organics, metals, and pesticides. Detected semivolatile and
volatile organic compounds are limited primarily to those constituents
commonly associated with laboratory solvents. The detected
concentrations of metals, which are also not related to past site
activities, were detected at concentrations in soils that arc commonly
found in nature, and at concentrations in water that do not exceed any
standard or criteria. The frequencies of detection and concentrations
of pesticides in the various analyzed media are very low and were not
discussed because they pose no discernable risk. In summary, it would
therefore seem inappropriate to discuss in detail the environmental
fate and transport of these constituents.

In response to Region IV EPA comments, Keystone is preparing a
table which presents the monitoring wells which have been
demonstrated to be hydraulically connected. During the February
1991 pumping test conducted at well PW-1, hydraulic connection was
demonstrated to extend to the northwest to wells C-9B and C-9C.
During the packer injection testing conducted in October 1991,
hydraulic connection was demonstrated between wells OS-8 and C-

Water Quality Section staff have reviewed the subject document and offer the following comments.
Director
We do not have any specific concerns regaraing the proposal to determine compliance with soil cleanup goals using a quantitation limit of 50 ppq (parts per quadrillion) for dioxin. I want to make you aware, though, that compliance with surface water quality standards or permit limitations is determined using method detection limits. In the case of dioxin, a detection limit of 10 ppq is used to determine compliance with surface water quality standards or permit limitations. Should it become necessary to issue a discharge permit for a surface water discharge at the Koppers site, such as a groundwater remediation discharge, we would use the 10 ppq limit to determine compliance of that discharge. It is possible that a permit limitation greater than ~O ppg could be issued, but this would require that 1'.he dilution ratio of the flow in the receiving stream (under low flow conditions) to that in the discharge would have to be approximately 1,000:1 or greater. It is likely, therefore, that 10 ppq would be t:he limiting factor.

I also want to make you aware that, while it is true that North Carolina's current surface water quality standard for dioxin applies only to 2,3,7,8-TCDD as stated in the subject. report, our rules allow us to develop site-specific water quality standards or permit limitations for any chemical of concern, based upon available toxicity data. Most of the other congeners of either dioxin or the furans are not of immediate concern•due to their lower bioaccumulation in fish tissue relative to 2,3,7,8-TCDD, with the possible exception of 2,3,7,8-TCDF (furan), which also tends to accumulate in the food chain.
I understand that no surface water discharge is planned for the site, but I wanted to bring these comments to your attention, should the issue arise. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call Greg Thorpe at [phone].

How were EPA preliminary soil cleanup goals
established? Please cite documentation (PCP =
32mg/kg, 82.5 ng/kg 2, 3, 7, 8 TCDD).
Since areas of higher PCP contamination have been
identified outside the two potential source areas shown
in Fig. 1-1, why weren't these locations included as part
of the source areas?
What about horizontal movement in the unsaturated
zone and vertical movement in the fractured bedrock?

Does the first model consider only vertical migration in
the saturated portion of the weathered bedrock? If so,
why?
Please cite section in RI that supports this paragraph.
Is model 1 more protective than model 2? ·
Since the Summers model assumes saturated flow in the
unsaturated zone, I would assume it would be estimating
maximum transport velocity through the unsaturated
zone. Is this correct?
2. Has TCLP been conducted to look at constituent
leaching through the unsaturated zone? It would be
useful to use this procedure to verify the model's
predictions.
1. Why is dispersion considered negligible with respect to
downward velocity?
2. The model does not account for degradation, therefore,
it assumes no loss due to degradation, is this correct?
3. How is constituent concentration applied in this model?
Is the maximum constituent concentration used or are
the concentrations at various sampling points averaged
to estimate a constituent concentration at the source.
4 Does the model assume that movement from the source
to the saturated zone is strictly vertical?
5. Does the model assume homogeneity of the source or
the unsaturated zone underlying the source?
6. Is vertical migration assumed to occur from the entire
area of the source? How does the estimated source area
affect the outcome predicted by the model?
1. Does the model assume that once contaminants reach
the saturated zone they are simply moving through
water? ·

Does Ap equal the area of the source?
If model 1 assumes no horizontal movement until a
contaminant hits fractured bedrock, how do we explain
the apparent horizontal movement of contaminants from
sources on site to shallow monitoring wells which are not
in bedrock?
How do these Kp's for penta and 2,3,7,8-TCDD compare
to any that have been reported in the literature?
Is Ap equal to the estimated area of source 1 and 2
combined?
Why were the samples for hydraulic conductivity taken
outside the potential source areas?
Was the horizontal hydraulic conductivity also examined
to determine which was greater?
Where is this information found in the RI report?
This assumption makes the model less conservative.
Please explain how you came up with 3m as the depth to
· the water table rather than 6 ft? How does substituting
6 ft. for 3m change results of the model?
Why are you using horizontal hydraulic conductivity in
the weathered bedrock while using vertical hydraulic
conductivity in the unsaturated zone?
What are the dimensions of the fractures used to
estimate fracture flow rate? Is there just one fracture
used in the estimate? Why?
Sample locations for geotechnical parameters are all
outside the identified source area. Why?
How does using the lower TOC value (2400 mg/kg)
affect the results of the model?

Source delineation. How did EPA come up with their
numbers?
Locations X-48 and X-29 had PCP levels above the
preliminary EPA cleanup goals. Locations X-48, X-49,
and X-55, had TCDD levels above preliminary EPA
cleanup goals. These are separate from the Lagoon area
but clustered amongst themselves. Shouldn't the Cellon
process area be considered. as another source area?
Note that the highest reported TCDD values in Fig. 1-1
are at locations X-48 and X-49.
Since these calculated cleanup goals are lower than the
levels found outside some of the source areas, will the
source area be redefined to include all areas with
concentrations above the cleanup goals? If so, won't this
change the calculated value again?
2. Since the TCDD value is so low, will additional sampling
be done to analyze TCDD content in soil for further
source delineation? Many of the locations in Fig. 1-1
were not analyzed for dioxin.

Cleanup levels of 55 mg/kg PCP and 4.1 ug/kg 2378
TCDD were calculated to be protective of the water
table aquifer. Shouldn't these numbers be used for
protection of groundwater?
Does the assumption of only 1 fracture mm1m1ze
dilution? How does this assumption affect the
calculation overall?

Wake County -Project No. 179280-11
Section staff have reviewed the December 1991 report prepared by Keystone Environmental ReSOJrces on the subject facility. Per your request, particular attention was given to (1) the applicability, of the hydrogeologic m:xlel used, (2) the use of practical quantitation limits (PQLs) versus met.'-iod detection limits (MDLs) as the preferred level of analytical accuracy, and ( 3) the level of soil cleanup necessary to achieve ccmpliance with the groundwater quality standards ( 1 SA NCAC 2L) . Our cnnnents 0:1 those three issues, as discussed in the Keystone report, are as follcws:
( 1 ) The solute transport cx:rnputer m:xlel used ( SUITTners, 1980) appears to applicable to the pIXCess covered in this report, and we have no reason to question data input values and m:xlel results.
(2) We 1,QU]_d agree that the use of PQLs, rather than MDLs, is the proper analytical level to be used in tracking progress of cleanup OjY"--rations, since PQLs are reproducible while MDL's often are not.
( 3) l>.s to cleanup levels for soils, Section 4. 1 of the repoit specifies that it will require renaval of all soils oontaining nore than 55. 0 rrq/kg of penlachorophenol, and 4. 1 ug/kg of 2,3, 7,8 -ro:io, to preclude contravention of groundwater quality standards. Therefore, those are the soil cleanup goals that should be specified.

As you are aware, copies of the document, Development of Soil Cleanup Goals
Protective of Groundwater Quality, were distributed to Dr. Ken Rudo and yourself during
the February 14 conference call with US EPA. We have received a second document, Draft
Derivation of Cleanup Levels for the Former Koppers Company Inc. Site. This document
identifies risk-based target cleanup levels and remediation goals for constituents of concern
at the Koppers NPL site. The US EPA has requested the State's comments on these
documents by March 2, 1992. We would appreciate your review and comments on these
documents at your earliest opportunity. In addition, as we discussed during the telephone
conference call February 14, we would appreciate any comments or concerns regarding
EPA's PQL of 5 x 10-2 mg/I for dioxin. Please submit any comments to the Superfund
Section by March 2, 1992 so that they may be forwarded to US EPA.
Should you have any questions please contact Pat DeRosa or me at [phone]

Conference Call, February 14, 1992
•
This memo summarizes the issues discussed during our telephone conference call
with US EPA last week. As you are aware, the State participants included: Lee Crosby and
Pat DeRosa, Superfund Section; Perry Nelson, Groundwater Section; Greg Thorpe, Water
Quality Section; and John Freeman and Ken Rudo, Environmental Epidemiology Section.
The US EPA participants included Barbara Benoy, Curt Fehn, Elmer Akin, Becky Fox, all
with Region IV EPA and Bob Krasko, Dynamac Corporation.
The first issue discussed was EP A's position on an action level for dioxin in
groundwater at the Koppers site. EPA recommends an action level of 5 x 10·2 ng/1 which
they contend is equal to the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) and which represents an
approximate 1/10,000 increased cancer risk. This level has also been proposed as an MCL
for public drinking water supplies. EPA recommends that this level be used as the
"detection limit" and that results below 5 x 10·2 ng/1, including Estimated Maximum
Probable Concentration (EMPC) values, be considered not-detected. This would provide
a reproducible detection limit for dioxins. An explanation of how the PQL value for dioxins
was established by EPA appears in 55 FR No. 143, Wednesday, July 25, 1990 p 30416. The
general consensus was that 5 x 10·2 ng/1 would be acceptable as a detection limit assuming
the methodology used to derive the PQL was valid. Ken Rudo will be reviewing this
information.
The second issue discussed was the report generated by KER developing soil clean-
up goals protective of groundwater at the Koppers site. A copy of this report was
distributed to the meeting participants. KER incorporated EPA MCL's for PCP (1 ug/1)
and State groundwater standards for dioxin (2.2 x 104 ng/1) to develop soil cleanup levels
of 95 mg/kg for PCP and .007 mg/kg for dioxins. Perry Nelson indicated that further review
of this report by hydrogeologists in his Section would be necessary. The Superfund Section
will also be reviewing this document and submitting comments to EPA.
• •
The third issue discussed was the issue of treatment and/ or disposal of dioxin
contaminated soil. EPA is currently under the opinion that the only' method of treatment
available for dioxin contaminated soils is incineration. Currently, they estimate that 1000
cubic yards of contaminated soil will require treatment. We discussed the options of on-site
incineration and disposal of residuals. Apparently, ash from wastes incinerated on site
would be more readily delisted than ash generated from off-site incineration. In addition,
there are no permitted facilities currently accepting dioxin-contaminated soils. This option
would therefore entail some sort of storage ori site until such a facility is permitted. A
question arose regarding the State policy supporting on-site treatment as opposed to off-site
treatment. EPA would like to know whether the State would concur in selection of a
remedy involving off-site treatment/ disposal.
Fourth, EPA indicated that they would like to schedule a public meeting as early as
April 1st to discuss the results of the RI and to introduce the options available for treating
dioxin-contaminated soils. The goal here is to ensure public participation at the earliest
stages of remedy selection. The revised RI is not yet available and it is unclear whether the
final RI will be released before the public meeting.

Dear Mr. Pennington:
10 February 1992 William L. Meyer
Director
I am writing in response to your letter to Ms. Barbara Benoy, US EPA Region IV, of 9 January
1992. The Koppers Company Inc. Site, former location of Unit Structures, Inc., was designated as a
National Priorities List (NPL) site in March 1989. As an NPL site, it has been targeted by the US EPA
with support from the North Carolina Superfund Section, Solid Waste Management Division, for
remediation of environmental problems, including groundwater contamination. As part of this
remediation, all groundwater users in the Morrisville area with contaminated wells have been identified
and supplied with bottled water and are presently being connected to public water service from an
unthreatened source.
The North Carolina Superfund Section maintains an extensive file on the Koppers Company Site.
The file contains all pertinent reports and findings that the US EPA has generated on the site to date.
You are welcome to review the file for information that may assist you.
I
If you have any questions concerning the ongoing cleanup activity at this site or
would like to review our files, please contact Lee Crosby, North Carolina Superfund Section Chief, or
me at [phone].

::oncerning your letter. ATSDR has reviewed the private well data on the well
that supplied your residence. It has been deterr.iined that the amount of
pentachlocophenol detected in that well does not pose a health threat due to
exposure to pentachlorophenol. The levels detected in the well were
2pproxi~ately 100 times less than the current EPA safe drinking water standard
cf 1 ug/1. The highest concentration detected was 0.024 ug/1 in October 1988.
The occupants were provided bottled water in February of 1989 and hooked up to

As we discussed during our last meeting on November 19, 1991,
confirmational sampling and analysis of select groundwater wells to
resolve the questionable phenolic data has been delayed until the
week of January 6, 1992 in order to accommodate EPA lab's required
lead time. Consequently, you also informed me that it is your hope
to issue the ROD on June 30, 1992 rather than April 30, 1992, and
that, to accomplish this, a schedule of submittal dates should be
submitted by Beazer.
I am happy to submit a schedule to you but I feel I should
reiterate my earlier concern that this schedule, due to
circumstances beyond our , or our consultants' control, may be
difficult to meet. That having been said, based upon the scope of
work contained in the proposed confirmational sampling program
submitted to you by Keystone on November 14, a tentative schedule
is as follows:
RI Report (Final) Submittal
Risk Assessment (Final)
Report Submittal
FS Report (Draft) Submittal
March 31, 1992
March 31, 1992
April 30, 1992
1 • •
This schedule is predicated and is conditional on completion of the
following tasks:
Confirmational sampling
Analyses and Validation
Completed by
1/14/92
45 days following sampling
If these dates are met, we will be able to complete the RI and Risk
Assessment Reports on the dates indicated above. Please note that
to incorporate EPA split results, the validated analytical data
should be submitted to me by no later than February 29, 1992.
In order to submit the FS Report by April 30, we must have
agreement on clean-up levels by March 11 to allow Keystone enough
time to complete the detailed evaluation of alternatives and
incorporate these levels into the Risk Assessment Report. In order
to facilitate reaching agreement, Beazer is willing to submit a
separate clean-up level document for EPA approval which will
present both the results on the soil modeling as well as the risk-
based clean-up goals for the site. This document will be submitted
to you by February 10, 1992. If we can reach agreement on clean-up
goals within 28 days following that submittal, we should be able to
make the date for issuing the ROD. Obviously, hard work and mutual
cooperation will be required in order to make that date, along,
perhaps, with a little luck. The fact that we have had these
ingredients so far has been very helpful in advancing the project
to this point. I look forward to your continued assistance.
I have been informed by Keystone that they are unable to complete
the modeling report which we had earlier agreed to submit to you by
December 6. Due to the changes in the schedule outlined above, the
modeling report submittal is no longer critical to the progress of
the RI/FS completion. I have been assured that the report will be
submitted to you on or before December 18. I apologize for the
delay.
After your review of this letter, please
to discuss any questions you may have.
this schedule is requested.
do not hesitate to call me

RE: Koppers Site
Morrisville, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Craig:
During a site visit on March 28, 1990, I observed that the CELLON
lagoon area had recently been filled in with soil and regraded.
This disturbance of soils in an area scheduled for investigation is
of primary concern to the Agency. The integrity of the
investigation of this area has been compromised.
EPA views this action as an improper and inappropriate action
conducted under the RI/FS. Please provide the following information
so that the Agency may evaluate this situation appropriately:
1. Who authorized this activity of digging and filling the
lagoon area and why was this activity authorized?
2. What was the objective of filling this area?
3 What type of fill was used and where was it obtained?
4. Please submit an Addendum to the Work Plan which presents
the current conditions of this area.
This information should be submitted to the Agency no later than
May 3, 1990. EMS is responsible for rectifying any and all problems
that occur as a result of this digging and filling of the lagoon
area.
Please note that field operations such as the stablization of
contaminated marshy areas on an NPL Site must be proposed to and
approved by the Agency prior to being conducted. The February 1990
monthly report did not include notification of this work.

RE: Your letter dated Nov. 9, 1988 concerning health hazards to employees
of Koppur Company
Dear Dr. Levine:
Thank you for bringing the above referenced matter to my attention. A
review of our Occupational Safety and Health division records indicates we
have never inspected the Koppur Company facilities in Morrisville, nor have
we had any safety and health complaints against their operations. We
appreciate your referral. Should you become aware that the facilities
return to operation, please inform Dr. J. A. Oppold, Director of the
division, or me so we may follow up with an inspection.

Dear Mr. Stonebreaker:
State Health Director
The Division of Health Services has ITBde a recommendation to the Shiloh
Baptist Church in response to a level of 31 ppb pentachlorophenol in the
church drinking water ·well. Dr. Ted Taylor of the CHS Environmental
Epidemiology Branch has recommended that the church discontinue use of the
water for drinking and washing purposes.
Koppers Company, Inc. was proposed for the National Priority List in
June, 1988, ':ie. und:~rstand that during the ren,xlial ir_ve.stigatior/ ..
feasibility study process, groundwater remediation will eventually be
evaluated-However, we request that you evaluate the data currently
available and consider an immediate removal action. We support the
installation of a municipal water supply line to the Shiloh Baptist Church
and to residents located between Koppers Company, Inc. and the church.
Based on the complex geology of the triassic basin where the church is
located, a water supply line is a reasonable perITBnent drinking water source
alternative.
Background inforITBtion has been provided to Barbara Benoy and to VJ.ke
NorITBn. We appreciate your staff attending the =nrnunity meeting on
Wednesday, September 21 and listening to community concerns_
I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible. I ITBY be
reached at [phone].

In September of 1986 Unit Structures, Inc •• purchased the business
and certain assets of the Engineered Wood Systems Division of the
Koppers Company, Inc. Included in the purchase was a portion of the
Koppers property located in Morrisville, North Carolina; excluded
from the purchase and retained by Koppers was a parcel of land which
included a pond known to be contaminated. Because of the current news
as to environmental problems in Morrisville, Unit Structures, Inc.
wishes to · clarify certain points.
1. Unit Structures, Inc. 's property is neither the.·
source of pentachlorophenol nor any other hazardous
chemical or petroleum substance.
2. Koppers Company. Inc., not Unit Structures, ·owns
the property at the northwest corner of Koppers · Road
and Highway 54 in Morrisville. This property is the
area being reported as the source of pentachlorophenol •.
3. Unit Structures, Inc •• is not a source of hazardous
chemical pollutants and is in full compliance with
all state and federal environmental rules, regulations,
and laws.

I spoke by telephone today with Barbara Benoy, EPA RPM for
Koppers' site [phone], regarding her coming up this week
and also about the Wednesday 7:30 pm meeting. She said that Mike
Norman will attend the Wednesday night meeting and she is
planning to arrive Thursday AM. She would also like to know who
will be the State contact person for the following site:
Koppers (I assume I will continue this one)
Jadco-Hughes
Potters Pits
Sodyeco
Please let me know about this so I can relay the information
to her on Thursday.
