Dear Ms. Taylor:
9:03 No.001 P.02
Thank you for presenting to the Agency the conce~ of the Shiloh community in the vicinity of the Koppers Company Morrisvill~ Site, I am glad that we were able to discuss these issues and that we reached a mutually agreeable resolution to the concerns of the citizens. As discussed in our telephone conversation on August 23, 2000, the following issues were agreed upon;
1. Personnel from EPA's Office of Technical Service will conduct a hydrogeological assessment
for the groundwater at the Koppers Site beginning in the next two months. Conference calls will be held periodically to inform you of our progress and to seek your input. A meeting will be scheduled to discuss the findings with the Shiloh community.
2. EPA's Office of Technical Service will conduct an analysis of the residential well data and Site characteristics to evaluate whether detections of dio'xin can be linked to the Site.
3. In the meantime, four residential we Us with previous low-levels of dioxin detections will be retested in the near future. The hydrogeologist will review previous sampling data and determine the need for additional testing.
4. EPA will contact you as soon as the sampling time is scheduled. Also, you will be given an opportunity to observe the residential well sampling procedure.
I appreciate the opportunity to discuss these issues with you. It is important to have a shared interest, goals and ensure that the citizen's concerns are addressed. We look forward to working with you. If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to contact me at ( 404) 562-8816.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

MEMORANDUM:
To: Pat DeRosa
From: Jay Zimmerman 7_9l;-"
Subject: H. D. Copeland Residence
-RECt.lVED
MAY 2 G 1992
SUPERFUND SECTION
Upon receipt of the information and lab results you
provided for the Copeland Residence on April 14, 1992, I have
requested that Robert Walton of my staff verify the source (or
potential sources) of the MTBE. In particular, I have asked
that he look closely at the Triangle Mini Mart south of the
Copeland's. This site is a confirmed source of groundwater
pollution, GW Incident #3773.
Because of the low concentration detected and the interim
groundwater standard of 50 parts per billion (PPB), we will not
be able to resample the well beyond the initial time that
Robert will contact the Copeland's. The Copeland's may wish to
have the local county health department collect samples
periodically, as we do not have sufficient resources to respond
to any but the more serious contamination events.
Should you have any questions, please call me at (919)
571-4700.

Re: Domestic ~Lll Sampling
Beazer East, Inc. K._C1f>peK'S
Morrisville Site, NC
Beazer East, Inc. proposes to sample forty (40) off-site domestic
wells at the Morrisville Site. These wells are located along
Highway 54, Kit Creek Road, Davis Road, Church Street, Weaver
Road, Airport Blvd., Watkins Road. A list of the off-site wells
to be sampled with a map is att3ched to this letter. The
sampling program includes eight wells where the residents
currently use bottled water. Beazer proposes to sample each of
these eight domestic wells in two rounds.
Our contractor, Chester Environmen~al, Inc., is prepared to
mobilize the week of May 24 to perform round 1 of the sampling.
Round 2, which includes only the eight domestic wells where the
residents are on bottled water, is tentatively scheduled for the
week of June 28th. The well water will be analyzed by EPA Method
515 for pentachlorophenol to a detection limit of 0.1 ug/1 (ppb).
Since I anticipate that you may want to split samples with us,
please call me at [phone] or Cindy Zuch [phone] to
discuss the schedule and any other comments you may have
regarding the domestic well sampling.

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 wells, 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
Monitoring 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.

Comment#6
Does this mean that water generated during the drilling of all wells in
Figure 2-2 plus C16-C was containerized?
Response to Comment #6
All purge water from the onsite monitoring wells was containerized.
Purge water that was containerized from near off-site monitoring
wells included those listed, namely C-9A, B and C, C-llA and B, as
well as C-lA and B, C-2A and B.
In Section 2, page 2-28, the first complete paragraph will be changed
to state: "Purge water from offsite monitoring wells was discharged
onto the ground, away from the well head except for near offsite
monitoring wells C-1A, C-lB, C-2A, C-2B, C-9A, C-9B, C-llA and C-
11B, 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.

Comment #8
How did the results for filtered samples differ from the results for the
unfiltered samples analyzed for PCDDs/PCDFs in Round 1?
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
and will be reinserted.
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.
Response to Comment #9
Table 2-9 will be changed to read that S-16B was sampled for
PCDDs/PCDFs.
Comment #10
There is no location S-17A shown on Figure 2-7. Is S-17 equal to S-
17 A? Please change in Figure 2-7 or Table 2-9 as appropriate.
Response to Comment #10
The figure and table will be corrected to be consistent.
Comment #11

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
bear1~g zones tapped by the residential wells?
Response to Comment #12
The rationale for deep off-site well construction is discussed 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.
4-3 2 & 4 Comment #13
4-11 2
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.
Comment #14
Why was X-1 selected as a background location for PCDD/PCDF
analyses? If burning in the teepee area was of concern, how was

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 (1.6 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 #16
Please state the depth of these ponds somewhere in the report so that
we can understand what you mean by "shallow".
Response to Comment #16
The following information will be inserted into the discussion on
surface water in Section 3.3: "The maximum depth of the Fire Pond

as well as the Medlin Pond is approximately 1()' feet. Both of these
ponds are man-made."
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.
Figure 4-13 Comment #18
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
Figure 4-16 It appears that the highest TEC values are measured from O -.5 feet
in sediments. Are we failing to address the risk of PCDDs/PCDFs in
sediment from the Fire Pond outflow by not assessing the TEC level
at O -.5 feet along the entire Fire Pond outflow ditch to the Medlin
Pond? These areas are highly accessible to the public.
Response to Comment #19
The Baseline Risk Assessment did assess exposure to sediments along
the entire length of the outflow ditch from the Fire Pond to Medlin

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.

and 4-8 If additional soil sampling was done in the former lagoon area, it is
not reflected in Table 4-7 or Table 4-8. Please indicate where this
data appears in the RI (see Comment #126 in the KER response
document September 1991).
Response to Comment #21
Tables 4-7 and 4-8 present the subsurface soil data from the former
lagoon area. For the additional soil sampling performed in October
1991, only surface soil samples were collected. These data are
presented in Table 4-6.

Response to Comment #22
A sample quantitation limit (SQL) 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 1 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 CO Is. 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 are 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.

Comment #24
Are the former lagoon area monitoring wells hydraulically connected
to the off-site "C" depth monitoring wells?
Response to Comment #24
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-
9B/C.

The Koppers off-site well is owned by Mrs. H.D. Copeland of Morrisville. The well
was sampled on 10/2/91. The sample analysis revealed a trace level (.001 mg/I) of tert-
butyl methyl ether. As requested by the Epidemiology Section, the well was resampled on
1/29/92. The sample analysis on 1/29/92 revealed a trace level (.001 mg/I) of tert-butyl
methyl ether.
Based on these results, the Superfund Section requests a risk assessment for the
groundwater exposure. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact

On 1/6/92, I spoke to Dr. Ken Rudo, Environmental Toxicologist, from
Epidemiology regarding resampling of Mrs. H. D. Copeland's well. The well was previously
sampled on 10/2/91. The contaminant detected was tert-butyl methyl ether at .001 mg/I
which is Jess than the groundwater standard of .05 mg/I. I informed Dr. Rudo that samples
would be taken near Ms. Copeland's well on Thursday 9 January 1992. Dr. Rudo
recommended resampling Mrs. H.D. Copeland's well on this date.

KOPPERS EXPANDS BOTTLED DRINKING WATER SERVICE
RALEIGH--ln a February 6 meeting with representatives of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the N.C. Department of Human Resources' Division of Health Services (DHS),
Koppers Co., Inc. (now known as Beazer Materials and Services, Inc.) volunteered to expand its
program of providing bottled drinking water to an additional 17 households surrounding the Koppers
site in Morrisville, N.C. Residents of those households are currently being notified of the expansion,
and water distribution will begin immediately.
The Division of Health Services, EPA and Koppers Co., Inc. have sampled this area 11 times
since 1980. The additional households are among users of 34 wells thus far tested for
pentachlorophenol (PCP), a potential human carcinogen, and isopropyl ether (IPE). Six wells have
shown unacceptable levels of PCP and users of these wells have been provided bottled water by the
company since detection of the contaminants in August 1988. The additional 17 households have not
registered unacceptably high levels of these contaminants but are being provided bottled water as a
precautionary measure.
In addition to PCP and IPE, continued sampling of six contaminated wells in the area has recently
revealed minute amounts of chlorinated dioxin and furans, potential human carcinogens, in five of the
wells. Dioxins and furans are trace contaminants formed in the manufacture of the wood treatment
chemical PCP. Wells in the area were tested by Koppers in 1986 for dioxin and furan levels, but no
contamination was found at that time. Persons living or working in those areas where dioxins and
furans have recently been found have been provided bottled water since before the contaminant was
detected in the water.
"At this time, the trace levels for dioxins and furans detected indicate that the water should not
be used for drinking or cooking but do not pose a hazard to those washing or bathing in the affected
water," said Dr. Ronald H. Levine, state health director. "As a precautionary measure, we are
recommending that residents with wells contaminated by either PCP, IPE, or dioxins and furans
continue to use bottled water for cooking and drinking until a permanent solution can be put in place."
Beazer Materials has also initiated a plan to continue and expand its sampling of wells
surrounding the Koppers site to ensure that no others are contaminated. The well sampling will begin
on February 14 and includes additional wells in all directions from the plant. Beazer personnel will be
working with the families that are affected. DHS environmental staff will also be available for
assistance. The EPA will begin an independent sampling of wells for dioxins and furans on February 15.
Beazer Materials is also working with local officials to extend a city water line to the affected area to
provide a permanent solution which Dr. Levine says should protect the families' public health.
The EPA continues to oversee long-term efforts to remediate contamination of groundwater and
soil surrounding the Koppers site.

On January 27, 1989 Barbara Benoy called and provided the
following infonnation.
1. Koppers has found trace levels of dioxin in some of
the water samples collected during the October 1988
sampling. 'lhe dioxin levels are not proportional,
however, to the levels of Fc:P detected in the wells.
EPA's QA/OC laboratory people are evaluating the
results to detennine if they believe that they are
real.
2. EPA ESD will be sampling all wells which have thus far
shown positive hits of Fc:P for dioxin and dibenzofurans
during the week of February 13.
3. Iast week, letters were sent fo'rin Bernie Hayes, Water • • • • • r / , • Quality Division, EPA, to Shiloh residents with health

SUMMARY
Keystone Environmental Resources, Inc., on behalf of Koppers Co. Inc., at the
request of the Wake County Health Department, conducted a well inventory of
homes and businesses within a one mile radius of Koppers former Morrisville facility, .
now known as Unit Structures, Inc. The inventory was conducted through door-to-
door canvasing and personal interviews during September -December, 1988.
The following report provides names, addresses, telephone number of residents and
property owners and provides well information o?tained through the interview.
Additionally, locations of each r_esidence/business are located on the attached
drawing, Keystone drawing number B-512474. The report presents information
according to street names.
Approximately 145 residences/businesses are located within one mile of Koppers
former site. Approximately 90 wells are in use. City water is available along Airport
Boulevard and the southern portion of Highway Route 54, although not all
residences/business are connected. At other areas, water is. obtained through wells.
At some locations, one well supplies water to more than one residence.
Generally, wells are in the 100-200 ft. range, although a few wells are 300 to 400 ft.
Most wells are constructed with casing set into competent bedrock and an open rock
hole below the casing .
.
Water quality in the area is imiversallfpoor. Many residents do not use the water for
consumption due to displeasing tastes caused by naturally occurring calcium and
magnesium hardness and rotten-egg smell caused by hydrogen sulfide. Well yields
range from very good (20 gpm) to very poor (2 gpm) which may explain excessive
well depths.
In addition to door-to-door canvasing, the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources & Community Development, Raleigh Regional office was contacted to
obtain well permitting information for the area which is contained in Appendix A.

On February 17, 1989, Mr. Bill Henly from David Price's office
called with some questions about the Koppers site. Apparently, he met
with some community representatives on Wednesday February 15 who
raised some questions about sampling at the Koppers site. I told him
that 34 wells had been tested prior to last week and that Koppers had
sampled additional wells this past week. He wanted to know if the
State was planning on sampling the wells that Koppers has not sampled.
I told him we didn't have any plans to at this time, however, it would
depend on the results of the next sampling round and on cooperation
from Koppers. I also told him EPA was the lead agency as far as the
long-term remediation at the site.

MEMORANDUM
TO Lee Crosby
FROM: Ronald H. Le~.D., M.P.H.
As you will recall at the recent meeting with Koppers and Federal
Superfund, I expressed doubt that it would take until summer before
piped water could be made available to Shiloh. At my request, Linda
Sewall has performed an analysis of steps and estimated times for
completion. As you cari see from the attached, the six months
projected by Koppers falls midway between Linda's best -and worst -
case analyses. Thus, their estimation is not out of line. Please
share this with Federal Superfund staff.
Thank you.

On February 9, 1989, I spoke by telephone with Barbara Benoy,
Remedial Program Manager, EPA Region IV, [phone]. She said that
EPA ESD was planning to resample for dioxins/furans those 8 wells
which have thus far been positive for PCP. Sampling is scheduled to
be conducted Feb. 15-16, 1989. The following 8 wells are scheduled
to be sampled:

results of EPA sanpling corrlucted at the subject site on oct.ober
18-19, 1988. These results are listed below. The lab analyses
from the soil sanples collected on site have not yet been
completed. Mike said he will be sen::ling the results. He
estimated that the letter to Koppers regarding water supply and
possibly on-site source control would be sent in the next week or
two.
On December 6, 1988, I received Koppers' sanpling results for
the oct.ober 18-19, 1988, sanpling. Their positive results, along
with EPA's preliminary results, have been tabulated below for
comparison. 'Two private wells not previously sanpled are showing
K:P levels > .04 ppb. Koppers is supplying them with bottled
water making a total of 6 contaminated wells now receiving bottled
water at Koppers expense. Koppers has nailed these results along
with letters explaining the results to the residents. Copies of
the results and letters have also been sent to Ted Taylor, Keith

Dear Mrs. Medlin:
Thank you for informing me of the difficulties you are
experiencing relative to the regrettable chemical contamination of
soil and groundwater in your community. As promised, I have planned
an in-depth review with key members of my staff regarding many of the
concerns which your group raised and will report back to all of you on
those as soon as possible.
I did immediately follow up, however, on your most urgent
concern; that is a safe and adequate supply of drinking water. I was
disappointed to learn that our request to EPA for immediate action
could not be considered until they repeated the laboratory work; they
would not rely on our agency's resu.l ts. In any event, they have
indicated to us that their decision is expected by mid-month on the
water supply issue. If no positivE! action has occurred by that _time,
you can be assured that I will immE!diately follow up and pursue every
possible avenue. ·

sampled. She will also detennine wells to the north
which will need to be sampled in the next sampling
round.
CUrrently, KER is planning to conduct their next round of
sampling concurrent with the EPA sampling scheduled to begin
October 18, 1988. .'Ille following off-site wells are scheduled to
be included:
5. All wells identified in #4.
6. 'Ille nine wells showing mesurable levels of FCP in the
last round of sampling.
I also spoke to Mike Nonnan and Doug Murrlrick EPA Region IV
on September 30, 1988. '!hey are planning to conduct sampling on-
and off-site at Koppers beginning October 18, 1988. Koppers has
granted site access and EPA is still waiting.to hear from Unit
Stnlctures regarding site access. On-site sampling will be used
to detennine whether there is a source remaining on site which ·can be addresse:l with irnrr.:diate· removal. '!hey are also p: .. anning
on sampling a few off-site wells to verify the public health
threat. Doug requested a copy of the SI and sorre additional
information on off-site wells which I sent out today.

Immediate Removal Request to EPA
State Health Director
I talked with Mike Norman, the on-scene coordinator with the EPA Region
IV Immediate Removal Branch, regarding the 22 September 1988 Section request
for construction of a municipal water line to the Shiloh Baptist Church.
EPA Environmental Service Division is planning to conduct additional
sampling on 17 october 1988. Apparently, sampling must be conducted by the
ESD and are.ly:::ed by the EPA laboratory. The ESD laboratmy turnarrnmd ti.me
is approx:i.nately two to three weeks. I anticipate a decision on our request
from EPA by mid November 1988. I think the approach taken by EPA in
response to the :immediate removal request is reasonable and acceptable.
Also, pentachlorophenol (PCP) has been proposed as a Class B2
carcinogen. The projected action level at this point is 30 ppb ± 3ppb. ms
laboratory analysis of the Shiloh Baptist Church was 31.08 ppb PCP for the
samples collected on 17 November 1987; Koppers Conpany, Inc. analyses for
split sample was 71.2 ppb PCP. Koppers prel:i.m.inary results for a sample on
13 September 1988 shows 18.2 ppb PCP. (Dioxin analyses are pending.)

Dear Mr. Stonebreaker:
State Health Director
'.!:he Division of Health Services has made 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. · We understand that during the remedial investigation/
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 <1lurch
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 permanent drinking water source
alternative.
Background information has been provided to Barbara Benoy·and to Mike
Norman. We appreciate your staff attending the community ineeting on
Wednesday, September 21 and listening to community concerns.
I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible. I ITay be
reached at [phone].

SUBJECT: Health effects from on and off-site exposure
Koppers Co., Inc., Mo=isville, NC
NCD003200383
State Health Director
As a result of off-site well sampling at the subject site on
November 17-18, 1987, contaminants were detected in 3 of 12
residential wells sampled. 'Iwo wells contained low levels of
pentachlorophenol (PCP) and all 3 contained low levels of
isopropyl ether (IPE) • Dr. Ted Taylor has recommended that one
well, at the Shiloh Baptist Church, not continue to be used for
drinking or washing purposes. Nonnal usage of the other wells
was recommended, along with continued monitoring.
On August 14, 1988, an infonnal public meeting was held at
the Shiloh Baptist Church in Mo=isville, NC to discuss these
sampling results with local residents. Dr. Taylor explained his
health assessment evaluation and recommendations concerning
continued usage of the well water. Concerns were raised by
residents at that meeting regarding possible health effects due
to occupational and environmental exposures to chemical used at
the Kopper Co. plant. 'lhe possibility of an epidemiological
study was suggested. Curing a working committee meeting on
September 2, 1988, community leaders reiterated citizens concerns
regarding past exposures from the Koppers plant. They expressed
the tremendous fear of residents and demanded that Koppers
provide all available medical screening records of their fonner
Mo=isville employees. In addition, they also requested
"medical screening" of community residents and church members
potentially exposed to PCP. .

Based on these requests, it appears that an epidemiological
study of occupational and eiwironmental exposures from the
Koppers plant would aid in alleviating concerns. I would like
same input from you as to whether the Environmental Epidemiology
Branch could corrluct such studies. Also, any additional
assistance in comnrunications of health risks ass=iated with PCP
would be appreciated. Please contact me at 733-2801 regarding
this matter.

Offsite well sarrpling
On August (22 or 23) 1988., Don Williams stopped by my office
and we talked briefly about the Koppers' site in Mo=isville.
Apparently he had received a call about one of the wells in the
area. I told him I only knew of 1 c:onnnunity well within 3 miles,
however, non-community wells were not addressed during the site
investigation.
There may be some non-community wells near to the site. In
fact, a=rding to the Water SUpply Branch list of non-community ·
systems dated 3-18-88, three wells should be brought to the
attention of Water SUpply:
Shiloh Baptist Qmrc:h
Koppers Co. ' Inc.

Non-community rns
CUrrentl y, to my knowledge, none of · these three are being
used for drinking water supply. However, the Shiloh Baptist
Olurc:h well has only recently been supplied bottled water by
Koppers Co. (Aug. 13, 1988).
Please let me know if you require additional information or

Rev. Johnny Leak
Shiloh Baptist Church

Morrisville, NC 27560
Koppers Company, Inc., has reviewed your September 2, 1988,
letter to Ms. Pat DeRosa. We find your letter puzzling in light
of our actions to date demonstrating our commitment to define
and resolve the issues regarding groundwater quality in the
vicinity of the former Koppers plant in Morrisville.. Again
Koppers remains committed to resolving any such groundwater
quality problem for which it is responsible.
Several points which you make in your letter are not quite
accurate. We hope this letter will help clarify these issues ..
We would ask that you make this information available to your
congregation by posting this letter on the church bulletin board
so that they m;,,.y be fully apprised of t-:he situation we are
facing.
(
First, you mention two wells (in addition to the church well)
which displayed concentrations of isopropylether (IPE) and.
pentachlorophenol (PCP). For the record, while IPE was detected
in both wells, PCP was detected in one well (not both). As you
know, the State has recommended that only the church well needs
to be supplemented with bottled water. The state does not
consider that the concentrations detected in the other wells to
warrant an alternative water supply.
You also mention "trace" amounts found in other wells during
previous samplings. This is correct. These results indicate the
need for additional sampling, which has already been initiated by
Koppers.
Your letter alsO mentions that the chemicals at is~ue in the
groundwater have been in use at Koppers for approximately twenty
years. In fact, the process which used pentachlorophenol was
only operated between 1968 and 1975. After that time the process
equipment was fully dismantled, and.the process chemicals were
removed from the site.

The information available at present does not warrant medical
examinations for the entire community, in our opinion. Such a
program of medical examinations should be developed only if the
results of additional environmental monitoring determine
potential exposures which call for that measure. Since we are
presently conducting additional monitoring, data concerning
potential exposures will soon be available.
The same logic applies to your recommendation to test every well
in the community. Hydrogeologists from the State and from
Koppers will be working closely together to determine which wells
in the community should be monitored, based on their
understanding of groundwater flow patterns in the area.
The comment criticizing the fact that Koppers wishes to conduct
the study itself is unfounded. The work will be done under a
very strict quality assurance/quality control program developed
by the U.S. EPA which guarantees the accuracy of data with
sufficient documentation to provide a thorough audit of the data.
A representative of the Wake County Department of Health will be
present during the next round of sampling and the State will
split samples for verification of analytical results. Under
these circumstances Koppers data has in the past proven to be
accurate; rememember that the data collected by Koppers in
-November, 1987, correlated closely with the data collected by the
State during a split sampling.
Finally, we do not understand your comment about a reluctance by
Koppers to share information. In fact, Koppers has cooperated
closely with the State throughout the course of the
investigation. Furthermore, Koppers has met with you several
times to bring you up to date, and has attended a public meeting
and a working committee meeting to help keep the community at
large informed.
As I have mentioned before, we would appreciate it if you would
share this response with your congregation. If I can be of
further assistance to help clarify these issues, please call me

III. Scheduled Field Activities
KER, in cooperation with the NC SUperfund Branch and the
Wake County Health Deparbnent, have developed a technically sound
plan for this next roun:i of sampling. Basically, this is to
include 3 activities:
Off-site Well Sampling
1) All previously sampled off-site wells will be resampled
by KER. (See attached nap, #0-13). In addition, all
wells immediately surrourrling the 3 wells previously
showing trace contaminants will also be sampled.
Sanq:>les will be analyzed for IPE and PCP. If
detectable levels of PCP are foun::l, samples will also
be tested for dioxin.
Well Inventory
2) A door-to-door survey of all homes and businesses
within a 1-mile radius of Koppers will be corrlucted in
order to inventory all wells within 1 mile. 'Ihis will
enable us to locate and characterize all wells within
1-mile.
Medlin Pond
3) Water and sediment from t.'l.e Medlin Pond will be sampled
for IPE, PCP, and dioxin.
IV. Tedmical Ol/el:vi.ew
All sampling results and well inventory data will be

Off-site Sampling
Dear Beth:
State Health Director
As we discussed by phone, I have received your letter of
August 26, 1988 describing KER's proposal for the next round of
off-site sampling to be conducted in the vicinity of the subject
site. I understand that this sampling is scheduled to be
conducted during the week of September 12, 1988. After reviewing
the proposed plan, I would like to recommend that the followirig
changes be incorporated into' the final plan for this round of
sampling:
1. Page 1, paragraph 2: "L. BarlJee's additional well" should
read ''W. BartJee's additional well".
2. Page 1, list of wells and owners: For OS-3 the owner is
John Baker.
3. Page 2, paragraph 1: '!he detection limit for PCP in water
should be 0.01 ppb.
4. 'Ille Medlin Pond water and sed:ilnent will be tested for IPE,
PCP and dioxin up front, without waiting for PCP results
before running dioxin.
5. Any well samples indicating a positive presence of PCP
(.e:0.01 ppb) will be analyzed for dioxin. 'Ille recommended
analytical method is EPA Method 8290 which we understand has
an achievable be detection limit of 10 ppq in water.
6. EPA Method 8020 nay be substituted for EPA Method 624 for
analysis of IPE achieving detection limit of 1 ppb.

topographic map is dated, the exact number an:! location of
these wells will need to be field checked an:! verified by
KER. Also, the nanes of the owners an:! information about
the wells will be needed. Based on the =t topo map, we
estimate there are 9 wells which should be added to the
proposed list.

Ted Taylor, Ph.D., Toxicologist t('
Environme~tal Epidemiology Branch
Koppers Site -Pentachlorophenol
I have just received the latest information on the risk assessment performed by
the EPA Carcinogen Assessment Group on pentachlorophenol (penta). Although
this still must undergo ·agency-wide peer review, penta has been assigned a B2 carcinogen classification by CAG (probable human carcinogen) based on the
recent findings of the National !£Xicology Program in the mouse; the slope that
was reported wa~ 0.8( mg/kg/day) . This translates into a drinking water
concentration of appr:=!gimately O. 04 ug/1 being equal to an excess lifetime
cancer risk of l X lO .
Based on the most recent laboratory results, the well water at the Shiloh
Baptist Church represents an excess cancer risk of one in a thousand if
consumed for a lifetime. Since it is unlikely that members of the church drink
two quarts of water per day from the well, which is a basic premise in the risk
calculation, their actual cancer risk is probably significantly lower. Also,
the recommendations of CAG will likely be challenged in an effort to downgrade
the classification of penta from a probable to a possible human carcinogen;
this could further reduce any concern. Only one set of laboratory data has
detected these elevated levels of penta in the church's water. After
consideration of all of this information, however, we believe that it would be
prudent public health policy to advise the church that their water should not
be consumed.
As for the Lyons' residence, we believe that the trace levels of pent3 the6well do not represent a significant cancer risk at this time (l □-
1□-) . It is recommended that the Lyons' well and the cl1urch well be
resampled. When these results are available, the situation will be
found in

re~evaluated and we will provide this information to you. Since there may be a
correlation with the levels of penta 2nd the levels of isopropyl ether, U-,e
selection of other wells for resampling should consider this information.
Finally, it must be emphasized that the recommendation to not consume water at
the Shiloh Baptist Church does not imply that those people who have consumed
water over the last six months are at a greater risk of developing cancer. The
recommendation is intended to serve solely as a precaution against future use
and reflects many of the uncertainties that are involved in the estimation of
risk to humans from chemicals that cause cancer in laboratory animals. In
other words, there is currently no scientific evidence demonstrating that
pentachlorophenol is a human carcinogen.
I hope this information is useful to you. If you have questions or need
further information, please feel free to contact me at 3410.

As part of an environmental study of groundwater in the vicinity of the
former Koppers Co. plant on Hwy. 54 West, a water sample was collected from
your well by the NC Division of Health Services on November 17(18), 1987. We
thank you for allowing us to collect this sample. This letter is to inform
you of the results of that sampling.
No contaminants were found in the following nine wells:
Lewis Barbee Residence
John Medlin Residence
George Harding Residence
Mack Baker Residence
Roy Medlin Residence
Triangle Materials
James Crowe Residence
Deli Box Restaurant
John Baker Residence
Two chemicals formerly used in the Koppers wood-treating process,
isopropyl. ether ( IPE) and/or pentachlorophenol (PCP), were found at very low
concentrations (parts per billion= ppb) in the following three wells:
Shiloh Baptist Church
L.A. Lyons Residence
William Barbee Residence
31. 08 ppb PCP
68 ppb IPE
.OS ppb PCP
20 ppb IPE
13 ppb IPE
Duplicate sampling conducted on the same date by Keystone Environmental
Resources for Koppers Co., Inc. supports these findings.
These results,ve been reviewed by Dr. Ted T.r, Toxicologist,
Environmental Epidemiology Branch, NC Di vision of Health Services. Based on
the most recent toxicological data, Dr. Taylor has indicated:
l. The levels of IPE detected in the William );\arbee well, and the levels
of IPE and PCP detected in the L.A. Lyont,_clo not pose a significant
health risk at this time; however, continued monitoring is
recommended. Normal usage of this water for drinking, cooking, and
bathing may continue.
2. The level of PCP currently detected in the Shiloh Baptist Church
well, however, suggests that water from this well should not
continue to be consumed. This recommendation is intended as a
precautionary measure against future use due to the uncertainties ofc
our knowledge of the human health risks associated with low level J
PCP exposure.
Since IPE and PCP were used in Koppers process, and since some off-site
contamination has been found, the NC Division of Health Services is
recommending that Koppers conduct regular monitoring at the William Barbee
well, the L.A Lyons well, and the Shiloh Baptist Church well, given the owners
permission. Some of the other nine wells will also continue to be monitored
to assure that citizens are not exposed to unacceptable levels of chemicals in
drinking water. Koppers has indicated a willingness to work with the
community to maintain drinking water quality. You should receive a letter
from Koppers Co., Inc. in the next day or so which will provide you with the
name and phone number of a contact person with the company who is coordinating
their well monitoring program. Koppers will also be working with the NC
Division of Health Services, the Wake County Health Department, and the
Shiloh Baptist Church to provide an acceptable source of drinking water to the
Church.
Please feel free to contact either Keith Glover, Wake County Health
Department, 755-0761, or Pat DeRosa, NC Division of Health Services, 733-28012
in Raleigh,should you have any questioos regarding these results or future
monitoring. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation.

Off-Site Well Sampling Update
•
Koppers Co., Inc. in Morrisville, NC, operated a wood treatment
facility on site from 1969-1975. Pentachlorophenol (PCP) was used and
wastewater from the process was discharged to a pond and 2 unlined lagoons on
site.
As a result of the latest round of off-site well sampling at the
subject site (November 10-17, 1987) contaminants were detected in 3
residential wells. Two wells contain PCP and all three contain !PE (isopropyl
ether). These results were confirmed in duplicate samples collected by
Koppers. Ted Taylor was notified and was awaiting the results of a National
Toxicology Program study before making the final recommendations. Keith
Glover, Wake County Health Department, was also notified. Koppers contacted
me July 18, 1988 about scheduling their next round of semi-annual sampling
which is due. Residents will need to be contacted to get permission to
resample their wells, however, they will want to know the results and health
implications of the previous sampling. I have spoken to Ted Taylor about this
and he plans to have some recommendation by Tuesday, July 26, 1988. Both
Koppers and the health department want to remain involved in the risk
communication to residents. Notification of residents and further sampling is
pending Ted Taylor's recommendation.

Evaluation of Private Well Samples -Koppers Chemical Site
I have reviewed the latest analytical results taken from private wells in the
proximity of the Koppers Chemical site. The most notable result is that the
concentration of pentachlorophenol (PCP) at the Shiloh Baptist Church has
increased by three orders of magnitude. In addition, very low levels of PCP
have now been detected at the L.A. Lyon's residence. As mentioned in my April
15, 1987 memorandum to you, an unpublished toxicity study suggests that PCP may
cause cancer in laboratory mice. This study, which was conducted by the
National Toxicology Program (NTP),.will be released in draft form sometime in
April 1988. Until the study is received and evaluated, we feel that it would
be premature to speculate on the potential health risks associated with these
drinking water supplies. It should be emphasized, however, that no significant
health risk would be associated with short-term exposures (1-3 months) to this
water.
Thus, we will forward our final recommendations concerning this issue as soon
as we have evaluated the NTP study. In the mean time, it probably would be
prudent to resample the wells that contained either PCP or isopropyl ether in
order to determine if the concentrations of these agents are changing.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to

SUBJECT: Koppers Company -Off-site Groundwater Investigation
I have reviewed the OHS laboratory results taken from 13 wells surrounding the
Koppers Company at the Morristown site. Two chemicals used in the Koppers
wood-treating process, isopropyl ether (IPE) and pentachlorophenol (PCP),were
found at variable, but very low, ·concentrations in a number of the wells.
Five samples were completely negative; the Crowe, John Medlin, Roy Medlin,
Louis Barbee residences and the· Deli Box. IPE was found in the wells of
Wilkinson Construction (trace), William Barbee (1.4 ug/1), L. A. Lyons _(16
ug/1), and the Shiloh Baptist Church (28 ug/1); the minimum detection limit
reported by EPA is 10 ug/1. The minimum detection limit for PCP by the EPA
derivatization method is reported to be 0.5 ug/1; however, the OHS laboratory
used a larger sample volume and was able to detect even lower concentrations.
The highest level of PCP detected was 0.02 ug/1 at the Shiloh Baptist Church.
Trace levels of PCP (less than 0.02 ug/1) were.also found at the residences of
Baker, Harding, William'Barbee, and at TMI, Wilkinson Construction and Watson
Burroughs. Thus, the water at the Shiloh Baptist Church represents the "worst
case" for the purpose of evaluation of any health risks associated with
drinking water that is contaminated with IPE and/or PCP.
In the case of IPE, no relevant toxicological data are available on this
chemical as such; however, based on its structural similarity to diethyl ether
and to other ethers, the predicted toxicity of IPE would be expected to be very
I ,' \
DeRosa Memorandum •
Page 2
April 15, 1987 •
low. Thus, based on'the present information, our best judgment suggests that
the concentrations of IPE found in the four wells do not represent a
significant health risk to people who consume this water.
In the case of PCP, many relevant studies have been published which indicate
that the levels found in the 7 wells do not represent a significant health
risk. However, a very recent unpublished toxicity study suggests that PCP may
cause cancer in laboratory mice; PCP did not cause cancer in rats. Thus, if
the mouse study is found to be valid, some caution would be warranted when PCP
is detected in drinking water at elevated concentrations, i.e. in the parts per
. billion range .
. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Although PCP apparently produced tumors in mice, the dose given to the
animals was hundreds of thousands times higher than the dose that would be
received from drinking well water in this area. Thus, at this time, based
on the available information, the water from the wells surrounding the
Koppers site does not represent a significant health risk; normal usage of
water for drinking, cooking, bathing, may continue.
2. · Since IPE and PCP were admittedly used in the Koppers process and since
off-site contamination has been demonstrated, further monitoring of private
wells should take place (probably at least at six-month intervals for the
· near future). This will assure that citizens are not exposed to
unacceptable levels of chemicals should the levels be found to be
increasing in the future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 3410.

I. Int:rodllctians
II. Purpose of !IEet.m:J
To present the plan for the next roun:i of off-site sanplin;J
scheduled for the week of September 12, 1988 to be corrlucted by
KER for Koppers.
III. Sdleduled Field 1\ctivities
KER, in cooperation with the NC Superfund Branch and the
Wake County Health Department, have developed a technically sound
plan for this next roun:i of sanplin;J. · Basically, this is to
include 3 activities:
Off-site Well Sampling
1) All previously sanpled off-site wells will be resampled
by KER. (See attached map, #0-13). In addition, all
wells immediately surroun::lin:J the 3 wells previously
sho;.rin;J trace contaminants will also be sanpled.
Samples will be analyzed for IPE and FCP. If
detectable levels of PCP are fourrl, sanples will also
be tested for dioxin.
Well Inventory
2) A door-to-door survey of all homes and businesses
within a 1-mile radius of Koppers will be corrlucted in
order to inventory all wells within 1 mile. 'Ihis will
enable us to locate and characterize all wells within
1-mile.
Medlin fund
3) Water and sed.unent from the Medlin fund will be sanpled
for IPE, FCP, and dioxin.
IV. Tednrical OVerview-
All sanplin;J results and well inventory data will be
reviewed by the NC Superfund Branch and the Wake County Health
Department.

Ted Taylor, Ph.D., Toxicologist f/
Environmental Epidemiology Branch
Koppers Site -Pentachlorophenol
I have just received the latest information on the risk assessment performed by
the EPA Carcinogen Assessment Group on pentachlorophenol (penta). Althoug1·,
this still must undergo agency-wide peer review, penta has been assigned a B2 carcinogen classification by CAG (probable human carcinogen) based on the
recent findings of the National !~xicology Program in the_mouse; the slope that
was reported was 0.8( mg/kg/day) . This translates into a drinking water
concentration of appri::ilimately 0.04 ug/1 being equal to an excess lifetime
cancer risk of l X 10 . ·
Based on the most recent laboratory results, the well water at the Shiloh
Baptist Church represents an excess cancer risk of one in a thousand if
consumed for a lifetime. Since it is unlikely that members of the church drink
two quarts of water per day from the well, which is a basic premise in the risk
calculation, their actual cancer risk is probably significantly lower. Also,
the recommendations of CAG will likely be challenged in an effort to downgrade
the classification of penta from a probable to a possible human carcinogen;
this could further reduce any concern. Only one set of laboratory data has
detected these elevated levels of penta in the church's water. After
consideration of all of this information, however, we believe that it would be
prudent public health policy to advise the church that their water should not
be consumed. ·
As for the Lyons' residence, we believe that the trace levels of pent3 the6well do not represent a significant cancer risk at this time (10-
10-)·. It is recommended that the Lyons' well and the cl1urch well be
resampled. When these results are available, the situation-will be
found in
to
DeRosa ~emorandum

re-evaluated and we will provide this information to you. Since there may be a
correlation with the levels of penta and the levels of isopropyl ether, the
selection of other wells for resampling should consider this information.
Finally, it must be emphasized·that the recommendation to not consume water at
the Shiloh Baptist Church does not imply that those people who have consumed
water over the last six months are at a greater risk of developing cancer. The
recommendation is intended to serve solely as a precaution against future use
and reflects many of the uncertainties that are involved in the estimation of
risk to humans from chemicals that cause cancer in laboratory animals. In
other words, there is currently no scienti fie evidence demonstrating that
pentachlorophenol is a human carcinogen.
I hope this information is useful to you. If you have questions or need
further information, please feel frf'!e to contact me at 3410.

Evaluation of Private Well Samples -Koppers Chemical Site
I have reviewed the latest analytical results taken from private wells in the
proximity of the Koppers:Chemical.site. The most notable result· is that the
concentration of pentachlorophenol (PCP) at the Shiloh Baptist Church has
increased by three orders of magnitude. In addition, very low levels of PCP
have now been detected at the L.A. Lyon's residence.· As mentioned in my April
15, 1987 memorandum to you, an unpublished toxicity study suggests that PCP may
cause cancer in laboratory mice. This study, which was conducted by the
National Toxicology Program (NTP), will be released in draft form sometime in
April 1988. Until the study is received and evaluated, we feel that it would
be premature to speculate on the potential health risks associated with these
drinking water supplies. It should be emphasized, however, that no significant
health risk would be associated with short-term exposures (1-3 months) to this
water.
Thus, we will forward our final recommendations concerning this issue as soon
as we have evaluated the NTP study. In the mean time, it probably would be
prudent to·resample the wells that contained either PCP or isopropyl ether in
order to detefmine if the concentrat_ions of these agents are changing.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to
contact me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Koppers Company -Off-site Groundwater Investigation
I have reviewed the OHS laboratory results taken from 13 wells surrounding the
·Koppers Company at the Morristown site. Two chemicals used in the Koppers
wood-treating process, isopropyl ether (IPE) and pentachlorophenol (PCP),were
found at variable, but very low, concentrations in a number of the wells.
Five samples were completely negative; the Crowe, John Medlin, Roy Medlin,
Louis Barbee residences and the Deli Box. IPE was found in the wells of
Wilkinson Construction (trace), William Barbee (l.4 ug/1), L. A. Lyons (16
ug/1), and the_ Shiloh Baptist Church (28 ug/1); the-minimum detection limit
reported by EPA is 10 ug/1. · The minimum detection limit for PCP by the EPA
derivatization method is reported to be 0.5 ug/1; however, the OHS laboratory
used a larger sample volume_and was able to detect even lower concentrations.
The highest-level of PCP detected was 0.02 ug/1 at the Shiloh Baptist Church.
Trace levels of PCP (less than 0.02 ug/1) were also found at the residences of
Baker, Harding, William Barbee, and at TMI, Wilkinson Construction and Watson
Burroughs. Thus, the water at the Shiloh Baptist Church represents the "worst
case" for the purpose of evaluation of any health risks associated with
drinking water that is contaminated with IPE and/or PCP.·
In the case of IPE, no relevant toxicological date: are available on this
chemical as such; however, based on its structural similarity to diethyl ether
and to other ethers, the predicted toxicity of IPE would be expected to be very
DeRosa Memorandum
Page 2 •
April 15, 1987 •
low. Thus, based on the present information, our best judgment suggests.that
the concentrations of IPE found in the four wells do not represent a
significant health risk to people who consume this water.
In the case of PCP, many relevant studies have been published which indicate
that the levels found in the 7 wells do not represent a significant health
risk. However, a very recent unpublished toxicity study suggests that PCP may
cause cancer in laboratory mice; PCP did not cause cancer in rats. Thus, if
the mouse study is found to be valid, some caution would be warranted when PCP
is detected in drinking water at elevated concentrations, i.e. in the parts per
billion range.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Although PCP apparently produced tumors in mice, the dose given to the
animals was hundreds of thousands times higher than the dose that would be
received from drinking well water in this area. Thus, at this time, based
on the available information, the water from the wells surrounding the
Koppers site does not represent a significant health risk; normal usage of
water for drinking, cooking, bathing, may continue.
2. Sin.ce IPE and PCP were admittedly used in the Koppers process and since
off-site contamination has been demonstrated, further monitoring of private
wells should take place (probably at least at six-month intervals for the
near future). This will. assure that.citizens are no'.: exposed to
unacceptable levels of chemicals should the levels be found to be
increasing in the future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 3410.
