3 .1 PROJECT IDBILIZATICN ACTIVITIES
Follc,,ring awrc,val of the Draft Work Plan and F~eld Operations Plan (FOP)
by USEPA Region rv, the field operations team will camnence l!Obilization
activities for the RI. Mobilization activities will include
establishment of a project CXJTVDaro p:,st at the site, camnitJnent and
testin:Jjcalibration of all required field equipment, securinJ of all
necessary pennits and site access agreements, and initiation of arran:,e-
ments for Contract I.ab::lratory P:tcgram (CLP) and Rm m laboratory
services.
Arran,Jerrents will be made for leasinJ a m:ibile office trailer that can be
deployed to the NCSU Lot 86 site area. A security perimeter will be
constructed arourxi the trailer. 'lhis trailer will serve as a a::munaJYi
p:,st and storage facility for perfomance of field samplinJ and surveyinJ
activities. Present schedulinJ requires the trailer to be deployed and
fully operational in advance of the cammencement of excavation and
drillinJ activities requirinJ the use of the trailer. '!he =nan:i p:,st
.will be maintained through the ccmpletion of all major RI field
activities.
Concurrent with the establishment of the =nan:i p:,st, all required field
samplinJ and analytical equipment will be obtained and tested or
calibrated as necessary to ensure that the equipment is in sourxi workinJ
order. 'lhis equipment will be deployed to the site on an as-needed basis
for perfo:rmance of the respective field activities.
'!he Site Manager and Field Operations Tea:ri, Ieader will work to secure all
necessary state and local permits that will be required durinJ the RI
(e.g.,. water well drillin:J/installation pennits). 'Ihe Site Manager will
work with USEPA Region rv to cbtain site access agreements with NCSU. It
is un::lerstood that the securinJ of site access agreements is the
,responsibility of USEPA Region rv.

3. 6. 2 stage Two-Establishrrent of Analytical Data Q.lality
'Ille basic ~ for the RI/F'S is that data collecta:l. be of known
quality. Criteria used for definin;J data quality are:
o Precision-a measure of the rep:ccxfudbility of analyses under a
given set of can:litions,
o A=racy-a measure of the bias that exists in a measurement:
system,
o :Representativeness-the degree to which sanple data a=rrately
an:l. precisely represent selecta:l. characteristics,
o Cgmpleteness-a measure of the amount of valid data obtained
f:ran a measurement system corrq:iared to the amount that was
eJ4)E!Cted to be obtained under nornal can:litions, aro.
o Comparability-an expression of the confidence with which one
data set can be corrq:iared to another.
Precision aro. a=rracy are statistical concepts related to sairpl.in::,
design, methcxis, am materials. Precision is measure::i by collect.in::,
duplicate sanples am replicated analyses in order to define the sanplin;,
variance (or error) attrib.rt:able to environmental heterogeneity an:ljor
the sairplin;, am sanple preparation process. A=racy, in terms of
statistically estimat.in::, the field concentrations, is a function of the
number of sanples. laboratory a=rracy is a function of the method
detection limits (MDI.s) am percent reo::Nery. A=racy is checked
throogh use of ·blanks am matrix spikes am assured by proper instrument
calibration/certification.
'Ille a=rracy arxi precision of sanpl.in::, data taken in this study will·be

'Ille ARARs for the NCSU IDt 86 site will be disa1ssed in greater detail in
the RI/FS reports. Representativeness of sampling is also extrerely
~rtant for this assignnent. 'Ille proposed sampling plan for the NCSU
IDt 86 site is clesigne:i to ensure that sampling locations are appropriate
and that a sufficient rumiber of samples are collected to meet the
objectives of the RI/FS. 'Ille rationale for selection of sampling
locations and rumiber of sa:nples is provided in the Work Plan for the
RI/FS. Proposed sampling techniques to ensure representativeness are
described in detail in the Work Plan and in this FS1IP. ~leteness will
be assured by maJdn;J every effort to collect and analyze all samples that
are proposed to be collected.
3. 6. 3 stage 'Three-Selection of Analytical and Sampling Options
'Ille analytical options chosen for the site investigation include CQ:)
Levels I, m, DI, and v. 'Ille specific level or analytical option chosen
is based on the CQ:) level for the specific type of sanple and data
"lee:led. CQ:) Level I work consists of field screening for the selection
of sampling location, for a preliminary estilllation of contaminant concen-
tration, and for health and safety precautions. For samples that need a
high level of data quality bJ.t are not required for potential litigation,
CQ:) Level m will be used. Rigoroos QA/QC protocols and documentation
are required for samples that may be used for confirmational water ·
quality; Level DI will be used for these samples. Sanples requirin:J

Disposal records an:l envircnmental m:mitorin;J data are available from
NCSU. 'Ihe review of waste disposal records will include documentation of
chemical/radioactive waste types, quantities, an:l disposal locations.
Info:cmaticn will be summarized into data tables for use in the RI/FS.
Nearby water Sl.Jl:PlY wells, includin;J clanestic, c:cmmerc:ial, agricultural,
an:l industrial wells, will be located by reviewin;J records maintained by
the North carolina Deparbnent of Environmental Management, G:rot1nd Water
Section, in Raleigh. Types of info:cmaticn that will be sought include
location, use, depth, poµl].aticn served, an:l canstnicticn details.
Limited :reconnaissaIX: of thE' i:rmrediat-.e area will also be performed to
identify any additional wells an:l to confirm the locations of wells
identified through the recx:n:cb search.
Uses of nearby surface waters an:l the presence of ~ered or sensitive

, neasureirents in nearlJy m:utlt=ing 1tlells.
When the desired depth of the well is reached, the inside of the auger
will be cleane:i. A 10-ft section (MW-34 and MW-35 will have 5-ft
sections) of 2-inch-I.D., flush-jointed, threadsd type-316 stainless-
steel wire-wrappe:1 screen with 0.010-inch slots will be placed into the
hole and 5UDID.l11tai with ena.igh 2-inch-I.D. threaded solid type-316,

will be surrounded, usm;r the tremie pipe method with a san:lpack
consistm;r of 20 to 40 mesh, silica sand to a depth of 2 ft above the
screen. A 2-ft seal of bentonite pellets will be placed above the
san:lpack. 'Ihe ~ annulus will be grouted to approximately 3 ft
from the surface with 5 percent bentonite, 95 percent Type I Portland

with barbed wire ani a locked gate. Keys to the gate are kept by the
NCSU Department of Public Safety. '1be REM III Site Manager will arran;re,
through the :Regional Project Manager (Rm) , to obtain access to the site
from NCSU. No REM III team mernbPr will enter the site until:
(1) written or verbal authorization is received fram the Site Manager or
designee, (2) at least 24--hct.lr notice is given to the appropriate NCSU
authorities before initiation of field activities, ani (3) each field
team member has personal identification in the fonn of a driver's
license, ccmpany identification card, or a suitable 51.lbstitute approved
by the Field Operations Ieader (FOL) • A list of persons authorized to
enter the site will be provided to the NCSU Department of Public Safety
by the Site Manager or the FOL. '1be list, which is interrled to prevent
unauthorized persons from gaining site access, will be updated, as
necessary, by the Site Manager or her designee. In gaining site access,
no REM m teain nember will sign or ackncMledge any con::litional
acceptance offered by NCSU unless approved by the Site Manager.

2.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PERSONNEL
2.1 HEALTH AND SAFETY PERSONNEL DESIGNATIONS
C-REMNCSU.1/HASP.2
12/31/86
The following briefly describes the H&S designations and general
responsibilities which will employed for the NCSU Project.
These titles are herein identified, and the responsibilities are
consistent with analogous titles and responsibilities in the REM
III Program. The titles have been established to accommodate
the site needs and requirements in order to ensure the safe
conduct of onsite work. The number and type of H&S personnel
for the NCSU site is based on the project size and scope and the
particular health and safety training requirements relative to
the proposed site activities or operations. The NCSU site
investigation will require one full-time HSO based on review of
available site information.
2.2 COMPANY HEALTH AND SAFETY SUPERVISOR (CHSS)
The CHSS has overall responsibility for development and
implementation of this HASP. He also shall approve any changes
to this plan, modification of any procedures .as required, or any
new activities proposed. ·
The CHSS is responsible for the development of any new company
safety protocols and procedures necessary for field operations
and is also responsible for the resolution of any outstanding
safety issues which arise during the site work. All health and
safety-related duties and responsibilities will be assigned only
to qualified i_ndividuals by Charles C. Haury, CIH, the ESE
CHSS. Authorization for personnel to perform work onsite (i.e.,
relative to medical exams and training) must be cleared by the
CHSS.
2.3 SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICER (HSO)
The HSO will be present onsite during all NCSU field operations
at Level C or higher. The HSO will be responsible for all H&S
activities. Where the site is identified as modified Level D,
the HSO will direct the site H&S efforts through an H&S designee
approved by the CHSS. He may direct or participate in downrange
activities as appropriate when this does not interfere with his
primary HSO responsibility. The HSO has stop-work authorization
which he will execute upon his determination of an imminent
safety h'azard, emergency situation, or any other potentially
dangerous situations (e.g., weather conditions,) where this
action is appropriate. Authorization to proceed with work will
be issued by the CHSS after such action. The HSO will initiate
and execute all contact with support facilities and personnel
when this action is appropriate.

The dirt road leading to the site is used as a jogging path by
university students and area residents.
The nearest water supply well is located about 2,000 ft
southeast of the site fence at the Medlin residence. Figure 3-2
shows burial areas, monitoring well locations, and site
proximity to the Wade Avenue extension.
3.3 HISTORY
NCSU educational and research laboratories generated hazardous
chemical and low-level radioactive wastes that were buried on
Lot 86 of Farm Unit No. 1 from 1969 to 1980. The site was
divided into two separate areas, as shown in Figure 3-2. The
western half received the chemical waste, and the eastern half
received the low-level radioactive waste in the form of animal
carcasses.
Site activities are primarily concerned with the hazardous
chemical waste burial area. NCSU has installed 24 monitoring
wells at the site since 1982 (Figure 3-2).

The university maintains a listing o~ the types and ~antity of
materials buried at the site. From these records a list of
typical chemicals reported in the burials was compiled and is
presented in Table 5-1 (see Section 5.0 of this HASP). The
chemicals listed include so,lvents, pesticides, heavy metals,
acids, and bases.
The chemical wastes were placed in trenches located in the
northwest portion of the site. The trenches were approximately
10 ft deep and 50 to 150 ft long. After filling, about 2 ft of
cover material excavated from the trenches was used to close the
trenches. Later, the disturbed area was seeded with grass.
NCSU estimates that approximately 22 trenches totaling less than
2,000 linear feet were used. Although some of the liquid
chemicals disposed during the initial site operations were
poured into the trenches, both liquid and solid chemicals were
generally buried in metal, glass, or plastic containers. NCSU
estimates3the volume of buries hazardous waste at 890 cubic
yards (yd ) .
The low-level radioactive waste disposal area is regulated at
the Federal level by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and at
the State level by the North Carolina Department of Human
Resources, Division of Facility Services, Radiation Protection
Section. There is also a NCSU Radiation Protection Commission.
According to Mr. D.W. Morgan of NCSU Radiation Protection
Office, radiological wastes were buried in trenches
approximately 6 ft deep with 4 ft of cover material. The
trenches have been mapped and waste disposal records are
available. Most of the waste is in a solid form, primarily
animal carcasses. These range in size from rats to whole sheep.
The carcasses were frozen when buried and were not ·
containerized. The most abundant radionuclide in the buried
material is tritium which has a half-life of 12.26 years. For
this half-life, after 5 years, 75 percent of the original
radioactivity remains. After 10 years, 57 percent remains.
Other radionuclides include carbon-14, iron-59, phosphorus-JO,
and phosphorus-32. These four isotopes have half-lives of
5,730 years, 45.1 days, 2.5 minutes, and 14 days, respectively.
Of all these isotopes, the ones of greatest concern are tritium
and carbon-14 because of their longer half-lives. No fission
products were buried at the site •.
In September 1984, NCSU acquired the capability of performing
volatile organic analyses on a routine basis using the purge and
trap method. Monitoring Wells (MW) 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 12 show
the greatest number of contaminants. Contaminant concentrations
are highest in Wells 1 and 6. There also appears to be a
pattern of increasing contaminant concentrations in these two
wells over the 6-month period from October 1984 to March 1985.

The most frequently detected compounds include benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dibromoethane, dichloromethane,
1,2-dichloropropane, diethylether, ethylbenzene,
4-methyl-2-pentanone, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
trichloroethene, and xylene.
The Medlin residence well and the 208 Marsh Avenue well were
sampled for volatile organics analyses on November 29, .1984.
Tetrachloroethene and xylene were detected in both wells at a
level of 10 micrograms per liter (ug/L). NCSU researchers
believe the presence of these compounds is the result of
laboratory contamination. These same compounds were al'so
detected in the blank run with the samples. Without knowing
more details regarding well construction and use at these
locations, it is difficult to correlate the analytical results
with results obtained at the site. Furthermore, these wells are
topographically upgradient from the site. ·

6.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT
The potential for exposure to site personnel at the NCSU.site is dependent on the particular task involved. Tasks include excavation and waste characterization, geophysics, soil sampling, soil boring, monitoring well installation, and ground water sampling.
The excavation activity task is the most hazardous task planned. In this task, a backhoe will be used to carefully reveal the contents of the buried waste. Potential exists for exposure to metals, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, acids, phenolics, pesticides, amines, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), halogenated solvents, and other miscellaneous organic compounds.· Some of those chemicals are known carcinogens (i.e., benzidene), extremely flammable (i.e., ethyl ether), or extremely toxic (i.e., cyanide compounds). The excavation task will be subcontracted to a firm specializing in this type of

activity. Included in the excavation task is limited character-
ization of the types and integrity of waste containers .. This
activity will be performed by the subcontractor. The subcon-
tractor will submit a separate safety plan the excavation and
characterization activites to be reviewed by ESE and the Ebasco
Zone Project Management Office (ZPMO). Activities will require
the use of, as a minimum, full Level c personal protection.
Level B capabilities will be available should monitoring
indicate the necessity to upgrade.
Other activities present hazards from the same group of
compounds, but to a lesser degree based on less disturbance of
buried materials. Splashing of contaminated ground water
directly on skin or breathing volatilized organic compounds are
two sources of exposure.
The overall hazard for the site is moderate, with the excavation
activity ranging from moderate to high. The potential for
chemical burns (corrosives) and fire (flammables) is also
present, especially during excavation activities.

8.0 ZONES, PROTECTION, AND COMMUNICATION
8.1 SITE ZONES (see Figure 8-1)
C-REMNCSU.1/HASP.9
12/31/86
The site is surrounded by a chain-link fence with a gate located
near the southwest corner. The fence, a good physical barrier,
will serve as the location of the hot line, except in the gate
area immediately adjacent to the fence which will serve as a
decontamination zone. The gate is the controlled access point
through which field personnel will pass during site entry and
exit.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.2,l General
Level B protection will consist of hooded Saranex® coveralls,
chemical-resistant steel toe boots and latex boot covers,
chemical-resistant outer Solvex® gloves and inner latex gloves,
and a full-face pressure demand air supplying respirator. The
joints between the coveralls and boots and gloves will be sealed
with duct tape. In addition, hard hats will be worn in the
vicinity of all drilling operations.
Level C protection will consist of Saranex® coveralls,
chemical-resistant boots and latex boot covers,
chemical-resistant outer gloves (Solvex®) and latex inner
gloves, and a full-face air purifying respirator (APR) with
organic vapor and high-efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA)
cartridges. The joints between the coveralls and boots and
gloves will be sealed with duct tape. In addition, hard hats
will be worn in the vicinity of all drilling operations.
If breathing zone measurements with the HNU PID consistently
indicate concentrations greater than 5 parts per million (ppm),
field team members .. must upgrade to Level B or. further define the
organic vapor.constituents with detector tubes or other
methods. HCN concentrations above 10 ppm also warrant upgrading
to Level Bas measured by the Monotox® HCN detector.
Combustible gas concentrations greater than or equal to
25 percent of the lower explosive limit will warrant site
evacuation until the source can be located and eliminated.

combustible-gas indicator with an oxygen alarm will be used to
monitor the borehole for the presence of combustible gases.
Similar monitoring of any fluids produced during well
development will also be conducted.
9.1.2 Excavation Operations
Monitoring will be performed continuously during all excavation
and sampling operations. A PID will be utilized to monitor the
breathing zone, the excavated area, and any material taken from
an excavation. The excavation will be monitored with a CGI and
oxygen meter.
9.1.3 Other Operations
Soil and well sampling will include continuous monitoring at.
breathing -zone height and at the well head upon opening.
9.2 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES FOR EVIDENCE OF PERSONAL
EXPOSURE
All REM III personnel and subcontractors who will be performing
field work at the NCSU site will be required to have passed a
REM III medical surveillance examination or the equivalent. A
release for work will be confirmed by the ESE CHSS before an
employee can begin hazardous site activities. The exam will be
conducted annually (at a minimum) and upon termination of REM
III work. Additional medical testing may be required by the ESE
CHSS in consultation with the company physician and the HSO if
an overt exposure or accident occurs or if other site conditions
warrant further medical surveillance.

The emergency coordinator will implement the plan outlined below whenever conditions at the site warrant such action. The coordinator is responsible for assuring the ev.acuation, emergency treatment, emergency transport of site personnel as necessary, notification of emergency services, and appropriate management staff.
13.1 EVACUATION
In the event of an emergency situation (e.g., fire, explosion, . or significant release of toxic gases), an air horn or other appropriate device will be sounded for approximately 10 seconds, indicating the inititation of evacuation procedures. All personnel in both the restricted and nonrestricted areas will assemble upwind in the support Zone. The location shall be upwind of the site as determined by the wind direction indicator. For efficient and safe site evacuation and . assessment of the emergency situation, the Emergency Coordinator will have authority to initiate proper action if outside services are required. Under no circumstances will incoming personnel or visitors be allowed to proceed into the area once the emergency signal has been given. The HSO or HSO Designee must see that access for emergency equipment is provided and that all sources of ignition have been shut down once the alarm has been sounded. Once the safety of all personnel is established, the Raleigh Fire Department and other emergency response groups will be notified by telephone of the emergency.
13.2 POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION
In case of potential or actual fire or explosion, all personnel will immediately evacuate the site (air horn will sound for 10-second intervals). Notify loca.l fire and police department and other appropriate emergency response groups if lower explosion level (LEL) values are above 25 percent in the work zone or if an actual fire or explosion has taken place.
