Subject: Earth Tech S ubmittals
JFD Electronics/Channel Master Superfund Site
Dear Mr. Doucette:
. NC DENR and I have reviewed three Earth Tech Submittals recently forwarded to us by ARCADIS Geraghty and Miller, Inc. This included the Project Schedule, Stockpiling Plan, and Method of Construction Plan for the JFD Electronics/Channel Master Site. Neither NC DENR nor EPA have any comments on these documents other than revision of the schedule as ARCADIS noted. I received the revised Project Schedule (NumberNersion 4) fromNanjun Shetty today. It is acceptable. I look forward to conducting the Pre-FinaVFinal Inspection on September 22, 2000. If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone].

1. Current Site Conditions
01,1r ref,:
Bill Doucette summarized the results of May 2000 soil sampling. Toe
results indicated that extent of on-site shallow surficial soils exceeding
remediation levels (RLs) were limited to Grids 9, 11, 18, and 22. Off-site
soils will not be sampled until the access agreement is established. Due to
reduced volume of soils, he recommended that the soils with metals of
concern (antimony, nickel, and hexavalent chromium) be transported to
an off-site treatment and disposal facility along with cyanide-impacted
soil~' as opposed le on-site stabilization and consolidation If we change
the scope to dispose of all soils off-site, then an Explanation of
Significant Difference (ESD) or a Record of Decision (ROD) Amendment
may be required. To review the results of May 2000 soil sampling and
compare "ith those collected during Remedial Investigation (Rl), a
meeting between representatives of United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA), North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDEJ'.ll), and ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller
of North Carolin.a, Inc. (ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller) was set up for

Discussed roles and responsibilities of US EPA, NCDENR, ARCADIS
Geraghty & Miller, Earth Tech, and Safety-Kleen. Jeff Hall will bQ the
resident engineer for ARCAD!S Geraghty & Miller and will oversee
remedy implementation. David Mattison, NCDEJ\.'R "ill be at the site at
key points during remediation; 2 to 3 days per week in the beginning and
l to 2 days/week as work progresses. Samantha Urquhart-Foster agreed
to designate an alternate to approve confirmation analytical results and
authorize backfilling in her absence. Mike Gleason will be on-site and
will be the Site Health and Safety Manager for Earth Tech and Carl
Duffy will be the site superintendent/construction manager for Earth
Tech. Safety-Kleen agreed to designate an on-site project manager for
the site (either Randy Garner or JeffWyans) by Wednesday (6/14/00).
Earth Tech and Safety Kleen will coordinate constmction of the railcar
loading ramp as il separate arrangement from the contract. Tommy
Davis, Safety-Kleen, indicated that he met with Norfolk Southern
Corporation and discussed the transportation plan with him. Pre-
Final/Final Construction was tentatively setup for September 14, 2000,
and this event will be used as a milestone for filing substantial completion
of the project.
Sam Clement is the main contact for Avnet. Ifhe is not available, the
alternative is Danny Stevens (Facility Manager). Working hours will be
from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, the facility gates will not be locked until
midnight. Everybody agreed that the working hours could be changed as
need arises with written approval from ARCADIS Geraghty &
Miller/Avnet.
ARCAD.TS Geraghty & Miller emphasized that proper documentation as
described in the Final Remedial Design (FDR) is required throughout the
remedy implementation. All required documentation/reports (including
daily logs, tail-ga.te safety meetings, incident reports, photographs, etc.) to
be submitted to Jeff Hall regularly as described in the contract
documents.
Safety Kleen wants copy of Earth Tech's construction schedule as it
changes. The September deadline is 6nn. Pre-Final/Final Inspection is
tentatively scheduled for September 14, 2000. Demobilization may be
excluded from significant completion.

Following meeting, ARCADIS ·will call Steve Earp with Samantha for
clarification on the hold-up and an estimated signature date.
Mike Glcasrna.n discussed the work ,cquence. According to Earth Tech's
plan, surticial soils be excavated first followed by soils/sludge in the
sludge drying beds (SDBs). Earth Tech proposed that the mixing be done
at a stockpile cell rather than in a pug mill or a roll-off box This would
be acceptable as long as proper mixing is done and pre-and post-mixing
soil samples are taken from the area where the mixing cell will be setup to
determine that the soils are not impacted during the mixing process.
ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller agreed to submit this request from Earth
Tech to USEP A for approval. In addition, EPA advised that a pug mill
should be on reserve in case the mixing does not meet the specs (i.e.,
clumps ofw1treated soil). ARCADIS CQA representative ·will be
inspecting for uniformity of mixing. The process will be detailed in Eaith
Tech's stockpile plan submittal. Tommy Davis proposed loading of
cyanide-and metals-impacted soil/sludge to be near soil sampling Grid
# 19. To facilitate proper loading and transportation, Earth Tech and
Safety-Kleen proposed stock piling a day's worth of excavated soil/sludge
on-site prior to loading into railcars (without increase in price to
ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller). Safety-Kleen agreed to provide 6 cars at
the start of the project and at least 3 per day. If there are changes in
volume of excavation and loading (increase or decrease), Earth Tech is
required to notify Safety Kleen well in advance. Earth Tech inquired
about using an alternate reagent (Enviro-Blend). Due to the tight
schedule and the amount of paperwork this would involve, it is likely not
feasible to try to make a change at this point.
Earth Tech proposed to follow SOPs, monitor for dust, conduct safety
tailgate briefings, and employ engineering controls to control dust. A
Health and Safety professional may be on site at the beginning of the
work. Mike Glcasman, Earth Tech, will have the overall responsibility of
health and safety at the site. Bill Doucene requested clarification of
confined space entry procedures in the Health and Safety Plan (HASP).
Earth Tech proposed to submit alternate action level for dust which is
currently based on nickel and very conservative. The decon plan is to
dccon equipment at the pad east of the Bandage Building and to set up a
personnel decon station at the west end of the building near the
construction trailer.

2.5.2.2 Health and Safety Plan for JFD Electronics/Channel
Master NPL Site
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this remedial action program is to properly and safely package, transport and dispose of
hazardous materials from the generators location. These hazardous materials will primarily include metals
and cyanide contaminated soils and sludge. These substances may be potentially harmful and cause injury
to persons or the environment.
All work activities will be conducted following procedures that will minimize or eliminate the possibility
of an injury-producing incident. This health and safety plan identifies certain work procedures and
equipment that are used during the collection of wastes. This plan may have to be changed or modified to
accommodate special circumstances.
As a part of the health and safety plan, an additional measure taken by Safety-Kleen to minimize the
likelihood of environmental or personnel damage is the emergency response (contingency) plan. The plan
details response actions for specific incidents that may occur during the work. These actions are designed
to minimize the effect of an incident, to reduce the response time to an incident, and to provide steps to
follow in case of an emergency. The contingency plan addresses general items common to each possible
type of incident such as communications, emergency phone numbers, first aid, off-site services and
emergency equipment.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The following personnel are responsible for various aspects of the health and safety plan and public safety
during the project.
Project :Manager: (Tommy Davis, Doug Meurs) The Project Manager shall direct on-site operational
efforts. At the project site the Project Manager, assisted by the Health and Safety Supervisor has primary
responsibility for:
• Assuring that all field personnel have met the training requirements;
• Assuring that all field personnel are aware of the provisions of this plan and familiar with
planned procedures for dealing with emergencies;
• Assuring that personnel are aware of the potential hazards associated with site operations;
• Assuring that appropriate personal protective equipment is available and properly used;
• .Monitoring the safety performance of all personnel;
• Correcting any work practices or conditions that may result in injury or exposure to hazardous
substances;
• Preparing any accident/incident reports;

Page 6
Access to areas of chemical handling is controlled to prevent unnecessary public exposure to potentially
harmful substances. Access control is done by clearly marking areas where chemicals may be handled ..
Prescribed operations will occur in work zones which are designed to prevent the migration of
contaminants. Movement of personnel between zones and into the chemical handling area will be limited
by access control points. Personnel leaving the work zone will enter the decontamination zone which is
will be specified by the engineer. Decontamination will primarily be proper doffing of personal protective
equipment unless otherwise specified.
The distance between these areas, and the size and shape of each have to be based on conditions specific to
each location. The following criteria are used in establishing dimensions and boundaries.
✓ Physical and topographical features of the work location
✓ Weather conditions
✓ Potential for release and exposure
✓ Size of area needed to conduct operations
✓ Decontamination procedures
✓ Proximity to residential or industrial areas
CONTINGENCY PLAN
A contingency plan is necessary for the preplanning of potential emergencies that could occur.
TYPES OF INCIDENTS
It is not anticipated that an emergency situation will occur. However, preplanning is important to mitigate
and minimize the effects of an emergency during the handling of hazardous materials. The more likely
types of incidents possible area:
➔ Spills: A spill is an unintentional release of materials in a quantity that is sufficient to cause
environmental or personal harm. Safety-Kleen will take steps to prevent a spill from affecting the
environment by implementing the Spill Response Plan.
-+ Fire: A fire can occur through the ignition of a waste material or paper and wood trash. Safety-Kleen
will provide appropriate fire extinguisher(s) for the site and all personnel will be properly trained to
use them. All flammable materials will be stored in proper containers and spark-proof tools will be
used when handling them.
➔ Injuries: Injuries can occur due to chemical exposure or as a result of mechanical forces. Personal
protective equipment such as leather palm gloves are worn to minimize the potential for cuts and
abrasions or other hand injuries due to sharp objects. Other protective equipment such as chemical

protective suits and respirators will be used to prevent exposure through the routes of entry to the
body.
➔ Non-project Related Disasters: In the unlikely event of an earthquake, bomb threat, tornado,
hurricane, flood or other natural disaster the project manager will implement emergency procedures.
Local emergency services will be contacted before the job begins and the scope of the work procedures
will be outlined so that emergency officials will be aware of the possible need for their services and
hazards which will be present. See the emergency numbers section for contact name and phone numbers.
In the case of a fire or spill, the emergency procedures or activation of contingency plan will be the
responsibility of the Safety-Kleen on-site representative in coordination with the Project Engineer and the
site work Project Manager. However, in the event that the accident is out of the control of the contractor,
the Project Manager or Health & Safety Supervisor will notify public authorities, (fire department, police
department) of the incident. The authorities will then use their public communication system to activate
the control of the emergency.
COMMUNICATION
In an emergency situation, effective communications are vital to the efficient handling of the problem. The
use of voice is the primary means of communication. Air horns will be strategically placed and flag men
will be used for signaling. All employees will be familiarized with the communication methods. Use of
the air horn will indicate the need to evacuate the immediate area. Air horn communication, including a
signal for evacuation, will be developed for each type of incident.
FIRST AID AND MEDICAL
Safety-Kleen will provide two industrial grade first aid kits for the site. The Safety-Kleen Project Manager
and Health & Safety Supervisor have received Red Cross first aid and CPR training and are capable of
providing initial assistance to injured personnel.
In the case of an injury, Safety-Kleen will notify the local emergency services, stabilize the victim and then
allow the ambulance to transport the injured. Safety-Kleen will transport their employees only.
EMERGENCY NUMBERS
In order to access outside help in an emergency beyond the control of on-site personnel, a list of
emergency phone numbers follows and will be posted at the primary first aid location at the site.

SPILL RESPONSE PLAN
The two components of spill response are spill prevention planning and procedures to follow in the event
of an uncontrolled release of harmful substances.
SPILL PREVENTION
Spill prevention is a primary concern at any remedial action location. Several spill prevention techniques
will be implemented as necessary. These techniques may include the following methods:
-+ Dike and grade areas for collection and containment of spills.
-+ Place liner material such as polyvinyl chloride, high density polyethylene or other suitable liner
material on the ground surrounding the rail car loading area.
-+ Cover and dike any storm drains in area.
Spill control products such as absorbent pillows or bulk absorbent material will be available at the work
site for immediate use in case of liquid spills. The following products may be necessary.
• Oil-dry or other bulk absorbent material
• Polyethylene liners
• Containers for contaminated absorbent
• Non-sparking shovels and other non-sparking hand tools
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Although containment techniques should prevent a release to the surrounding environment, a spill response
plan determines specific actions. Prompt response to a spill of material is necessary. All Safety-Kleen
personnel have received training on proper spill control methods. When a spill occurs, the following steps
will occur in notifying other site employees:
✓ The employee noticing the spill will notify other site employees by voice or through use of air horns (2
short blasts.)
✓ All employees will stop their present work and secure their areas of responsibility.
✓ The Safety-Kleen Project Manager or the Health and Safety Supervisor will direct all public
participants to a designated safe area if necessary.
✓ The Safety-Kleen Project Manager (or designee) and the Health and Safety Supervisor will identify the
spilled material and determine the proper protective equipment needed.
✓ Simultaneously, Safety-Kleen personnel will be assigned to control the spill and prevent its spread or
other complications. If necessary, personnel can be assigned to isolate storm drains and sewers.
Personnel will don their protective equipment and take the appropriate steps for cleaning up the spill.
Any incompatible materials located near the spill will be removed. A fire watch will be established
and the Fire Department will be notified if necessary.

✓ The Safety-Kleen Project Manager's determination that outside assistance is needed will prompt use of
the emergency phone list.
✓ Once the spill is contained and cleaned-up any response equipment used will be decontaminated,
inspected, and put back in service when returned to an acceptable condition.
✓ If a spill is due to negligence by Safety-Kleen personnel, either at the loading area or during transport,
Safety-Kleen will provide soil sampling, as needed, at its own expense to determine the extent of
contamination of the area and possible remedial action.
✓ All appropriate notification(s) and reports will be filed by the Safety-Kleen Project Manager and/or the
Health and Safety Supervisor (DOT Hazardous Materials Incident Report, National Response Center,
Local Emergency Management Agencies, etc.) as required by local, state, or federal authorities. Phone
numbers for these agencies will be included in the emergency phone number list of the site specific
plan.
If evacuation of the site and/or surrounding areas become necessary, it shall proceed as required by Police
or Fire Department authorities.
FIRE PLAN
A fire at a remedial action site presents a serious hazard due to the potential catastrophic effects. Not only
are there physical hazards of a fire, but there are also chemical hazards created during a combustion of
chemical materials. To minimize the potential for a fire there will be no smoking or open flames in the
general work area involving the handling of hazardous waste.
In the unlikely event of a fire:
✓ The employee noticing the fire will alert the site by voice or by air horn ( one long blast at least I 0
seconds long).
✓ All employees will stop work and secure their areas ofresponsibility
✓ The Safety-Kleen Project Manager, the Health and Safety Supervisor or their designee will alert the
local Fire Department and move public participants to a secure location.
✓ Safety-Kleen employees will be assigned the task of containing and halting the fire using the site fire
extinguishers. Soil or absorbents may also be used to smother the fire. Generally, water will not be
used if the fire is due to the ignition of a flammable liquid. Spraying water on a fire involving
flammable liquid can worsen the situation because the water spray can cause spattering or allow the
liquid to spread.
✓ If the fire is chemical in origin or spreads to the chemical waste, then Safety-Kleen personnel will don
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus to attempt to contain the fire.
✓ If the fire goes beyond the incipient state (cannot be controlled with extinguishers), the Safety-Kleen
Project Manager will notify emergency personnel of the substance(s) involved in the fire and prepare
to evacuate the work area. Safety-Kleen will help local emergency responders when necessary. This
assistance may include assisting in evacuating local residents; blocking off storm drains and berming
the area with absorbent to prevent the runoff from local fire fighters efforts from reaching water
sources; removing all unnecessary personnel and vehicles from the area; removing as much waste
material from potential exposure as safely as possible.
✓ Once the fire has been extinguished then a clean-up of the area will commence. All material will be
disposed ofas waste if the fire was chemical in origin or spread to the waste area.

Page 11
In the unlikely event of a fire, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood or other natural disaster the following
procedures must be implemented in a timely fashion.
✓ The employee noticing the emergency situation will alert the site by voice or through an air horn ( one
long blast at least 10 seconds long)
✓ All employees will stop work and secure their areas of responsibility.
✓ The Project Manager or the Health and Safety Supervisor or their designee will alert the local
authorities and move employees to a secure location. The affected area will be isolated to prevent
access.
EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
In addition to the protective equipment employees will be wearing during normal work activities, certain
emergency equipment will be available. This includes, but is not limited to, dry chemical fire
extinguishers, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus, Chemical-resistant suits, first aid kits, air horns, and an
eyewash unit.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Any and all personnel involved in the activity of lining and tarping (top covers) of rail gondola cars will be
outfitted in, at a minimum, tyvek suits, safety boots (may be covered by booties), gloves, safety glasses and
dust/particulate respirators. App PPE will be discarded at the conclusion of each day's activities by
placement into the gondola car for disposal at the receiving TSDF.
Due to inactivity on the Norfolk Southern northbound rail line, no flagmen will be necessary on the part of
the T&D Contractor. Norfolk Southern will be responsible for their units crossing any public roads (West
Industry Drive). Norfolk Southern will also be responsible for movement of the gondola cars during
loading operations. Six rail cars will be staged at the loading area. This area is on a slight incline. As each
car is finished loading, the next car will be moved up using gravitational force from the loaded car moving
slowly down the track as the brakes are released. Once the new car is in place the brakes will be resecured
prior to loading the next car.
Employees assigned to operate a motor vehicle shall be properly trained and authorized (licensed) for the
type of vehicle they are to operate. Employees involved in the highway transport and unloading of waste
at the receiving site will follow the general vehicle rules and good driving practices listed below.
General Vehicle Rules
⇒ Do not ride or drive any vehicle or mobile equipment unless authorized. All occupants will wear seat
belts provided.
⇒ Perform vehicle pre-trip/post-trip inspection and complete inspection report as required. Safety
discrepancies must be corrected before using vehicle.
⇒ Do not alter or remove safety equipment such as alarms, fire extinguishers, etc. from vehicles.
⇒ Check operation of back up alarm, if vehicle is equipped with one.
⇒ All power units must be equipped with a fire extinguisher that is properly filled, readily accessible, and
is rated at a minimum of IO B:C.

⇒ Use a spotter when backing vehicles. Check the area for obstructions if a spotter is not available,
exiting the vehicle as often as necessary.
⇒ Observe all federal, state, local and facility/project speed limits.
⇒ For all vehicles left unattended:
a. Shut off unattended service vehicle engines
b. Place gears in park for automatic tranmission; use first or reverse for manual transmission.
c. Set parking brake. Wheel chocks should also be used for vehicle over 10,0000lbs.
d. On inclines tum wheels towards curb.
Good Driving Practices
ENTERING AND EXITING TRUCK CAB
I. Keep surfaces of all steps free and clear of debris.
2. Check the condition of each step and grab handles prior to using.
3. Use steps and grab handles for mounting and dismounting.
4. When entering or exiting always have a least three points of contact with vehicle at all times(e.g.
two hands and one leg or two legs and one hand).
5. Always bring vehicle to a complete stop before exiting.
6. Seat belts must be worn at all times by all persons in the cab.
SAFE BACKING PROCEDURE
I. Avoid backing whenever possible.
2. Use a spotter for backing.
3. Examine situation and location before backing. Walk around the vehicle and look for all
hazardous situations.
4. Check surfaces for stability, check for pedestrian crossings that might cross your line of travel
while backing.
5. Use a fixed point on the left side of the vehicle against some stable outside object for approximate
stopping position.
6. Check overhead clearances for possible obstruction such as wires, lights, signs or canopies.
7. After analyzing the situation, instruct the spotter of findings, position to stand in( for clear view),
and hand signals. It is important to keep the spotter in view at all times. If spotter disappears
STOP vehicle immediately and wait for spotter to reposition him/herself.
8. Begin backing smoothly and with caution.
9. When putting your vehicle in a reverse motion your speed should not exceed 3 mph. Repeatedly
check both mirrors until backing maneuver has been completed.
The receiving facility will follow the waste analysis plan in the specific operating permit for quality
control. This will include the proper storage requirements m relation to compatibility, secondary
containment, and other container management issues.

2.5.2.3 Decontamination Plan for JFD Electronics/Channel
Master NPL Site
The Decontamination Plan as specified in section 01130 does not apply to a strictly Transport and Disposal
operation. The following is a description of the basic procedures for decontamination based on the
minimal handling of waste in this type of operation.
Upon receipt at the final disposal facility, and unloading of the waste, all transport vehicles will have the
liner removed. Any residue remaining in the transport vehicle will be swept out and added to the material
for disposal. No vehicles will be returned to other service without cleaning and inspection. Any PPE worn
by SK attendant personnel will be collected in the transport vehicles and disposed of as hazardous waste.
No water is used in the cleaning and decontamination of vehicles so no testing is to be done.
PPE and Personnel Decontamination: All personnel will remove and discard of PPE in the gondola car at
the end of each shift or day.
Truclc/ Railcar Decontamination: Upon receipt at the final disposal facility, and unloading of the waste, all
transport vehicles will have the liner removed. Any residue remaining in the transport vehicle will be
swept out and added to the material for disposal. No vehicles will be returned to other service without
cleaning and inspection.

The Project Manager will schedule the arrival of three (3) gondola rail cars at the Norfolk Southern Rail
spur adjacent to the JFD Electronics/Channel Master site every business day (5 days a week), weather
permitting. Each rail car will be loaded by Arcadis Geraghty and Miller's subcontract site work vendor in
coordination with the Safety-Kleen Project Manager. The waste will then be transported by rail daily
(5days a week) to Avard, Oklahoma. Transport to Avard is expected to take approximately 6 - 8 days.
The Project Manager will coordinate with Safety-Kleen (Lone Mountain) staff to transport the waste to the
final disposal faclity. At Avard, Safety-Kleen personnel will transload the waste into dump trailers for
transport to Waynoka, OK for treatment and disposal at Safety-Kleen (Lone Mountain), Inc.
General Rules for Loading Operations
Any and all personnel involved in the activity oflining and tarping (top covers) of rail gondola cars will be
outfitted in, at a minimum, tyvek suits, safety boots (may be covered by booties), gloves, safety glasses and
dust/particulate respirators. App PPE will be discarded at the conclusion of each day's activities by
placement into the gondola car for disposal at the receiving TSDF.

car is finished loading, the next car will be moved up using gravitational force from the loaded car moving
slowly down the track as the brakes are released. Once the new car is in place the brakes will be resecured
prior to loading the next car.
Polyethylene sheeting will be placed on each side of the gondola er in order to prevent any spillage of
hazardous waste onto clean soil, gravel or tracks. Should spillage occur, the material will be shoveld from
the liner back into the rail car for disposal. Should the sheeting be damaged, it will be added to the
gondola car and replaced before loading is continued.

Subject:
USEPA SITE Program
RECEIVED

SUPERFUND S1:.CTION
· ·JFDE!ectronics/Channel Master NPL Site, Oxford, North Caroiina
Dear Mr. l\lallary:
As we have discussed previously, we have an opportunity through the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Superfund Innovative Technology
Evaluation (SITE) program to investigate a potential remedy that could provide
three advantages:
I. On-site treatment of the cyanide contaminated material which avoids the risks of
off-site transportation and disposal and is consistent with the Agency
preferences.
2. Significant cost savings ($400,000 -$650,000).
3. Can be completed within approximately same time line for the existing remedy.
We propose to work in concert with USEPA SITE program to explore biological
treatment of cyanide and metals stabilization. We believe that this remedy can be
explored while still allowing us to complete the remedial design of the currently
required excavation and off-site sludge treatment remedy by the agreed time.
The process for study is marketed by Pintail Systems Inc., which uses enriched
microbial populations, isolated either from the site to be treated or from Pintails
library of organisms from mining and electroplating sites to enhance the microbial
degradation of cyanide and to "bio-mineralize" metals. This process has been shown
to be effective in full-scale treatment of cyanide containing geologic materials,
verified by the USEPA SITE program, at several mine tailings sites. It has also been
effective at smaller scales in treating material from the Si11nmitville Superfund site
and an Aluminum spent potliner material. In the field it could be applied either
in-situ, or above grade using an engineered biopile with leachate recirculation.

To maximize the chances of success and the information value of the program we
intend to compare the Pintail process "head-to-head" against a fungal cyanide
treatment process marketed by EarthFax Development Corporation. Fungal
treatment of cyanide, although shown to be promising in laboratory studies
conducted by several groups, has not been demonstrated on a large scale or with
complex cyanides as the Pintail process has.
The proposed treatability work would include:
I. Development of a detailed QA Project Plan;
2. Field sampling;
3. Bacterial isolation, augmentation and production;
4. Flask cyanide tests;
5. Laboratory pilot scale column and bio-pile testing; and
6. Reporting.
Costs for conducting the treatability work will be shared between the USEPA SITE
program and the Responsible Party. No funds are required from the region.
After substantial completion of this treatability program we would have an
opportunity to review with you the results, and determine if it is appropriate to use
this alternative remedy at full-scale. If the biological remedy was used for the
entire site, the SITE program would be involved and would be able to help verify
treatment effectiveness.
As you may know, the SITE program has been substantially "reinvented" over the
past several years. It now focuses primarily on demonstrating appropriate,
innovative remedies in support of those responsible for site remediation rather than
being primarily focused on verifying technologies for vendors. The SITE program is
now able to move quite rapidly and flexibly and we understand that it has funds
available allowing it to initiate new projects immediately.
ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller and SAIC are teamed, providing support to EPA for
SITE program work on biological technologies under an existing contract. We have
briefed the head of the SITE program, Ms. Annette Gatchett, about the situation at
this site without discussing it by name. She was very enthusiastic about the proposed
project but would not proceed with it without your approval. Recently, Mr. Randy
Parker took over Ms. Gatchett's role, and he can be contacted at (5 I 3) 569-7271.

Given your finn objectives for timely full scale treatment, we recognize that these
biological tests must proceed rapidly in order to allow the decision between the
currently planned remedy and the biological remedy to be made, before most of the
design work for the currently planned remedy is completed. Therefore we would
appreciate a rapid response to this request.
If you have any questions or need additional infonnation, please contact us
at (9 I 9) 782-5511.
