MEMORANDUM
TO: Dan Oakley
FROM: Bill Meyer
SUBJECT: Jadco Hughes
When does a waste become a hazardous waste?
40· CFR 261 .3(b) ........ a solid waste becomes a hazardous waste when .... .
(1) the waste first meets listing description (40 CFR 261.21, 22, 23, 24,
31, 32, 33(e)(f) contain listing descriptions_ Under this logic, the
point of generation (or first opportunity to exhibit hazardous description
and not after delivery to a treatment/disposal site) determines whether
the waste is regulated as a hazardous waste.
Two classes of hazardous waste
There are 2 regulatory classes of hazardous waste. One is waste, from
any source, that exhibits a defined characteristic(s) of ig~itability
(40 CFR 260.21), corrosivity (40 CFR 261.22), reactivity (40 CFR 261.23)
or extraction toxicity (40 CFR 261.24). This class of waste is hazardous
due to a performance standard of exhibiting a characteristic that may
cause human harm. This class is regulated as characteristic hazardous
waste.
The other class of waste are hazardous by a listing definition and are
specific chemical entities or processes generating a specific chemical
entity [40 CFR 261.31, 32, 33(e)(f)]. This class is hazardous due to
known potential for human harm. This class is regulated as listed
hazardous waste.
ls concentration a factor in the determination of a hazardous waste?
Neither class of waste requires a specific concentration to be a hazardous
waste (except for extraction toxicity which is 100 x's drinking water
standard). Characteristic waste are hazardous at any concentration that
causes the waste to exhibit a desired characteristic. Listed waste are
hazardous due to demonstrated toxicity to humans even at low concentrations,
therefore, are considered hazardous at any concentration. For example,
a human carcinogen is considered hazardous at any concentration (i.e. the
mere existence at a detectable level).

Concentration is a basic consideration for listing a waste as hazardous
(40 CFR 261 .10) but once listed, concentration has no regulatory significance.
When does a hazardous waste cease to be a hazardous waste?
Waste with a characteristic ceases to be a hazardous waste when permitted
treatment alters the waste so that it no longer exhibits a characteristic.
Waste that is listed, even after treatment and includes treatment residues,
remains a hazardous waste perpetually unless it is delisted. Delisting is
a scientific analytical procedure that demonstrates that the waste either
does not contain a specific hazardous constituent or the concentration of
a specific hazardous constituent is of no harm or presents an acceptable
non-hazardous risk (40 CFR 261 .3(c)(1)(2) & (d)(e); 40 CFR 260.20 & 22).
Mixtures of waste
Hazardous waste with a characteristic may be mixed with non-hazardous
waste and be rendered non-hazardous and the resultant mixture is not
subject to hazardous waste regulations.
Hazardous waste which is listed waste and is mixed with a non-hazardous
waste causes.the entire mixture to become a hazardous waste (40 CFR
261.3(b)(2)). Theoretically and legally, one drop of a listed hazardous
waste added to water requires the mixture be regulated as hazardous.
Practically this activity would be available for the deli sting procedure.
Jadco Hughes relationship to this discussion?
Waste on site contains hazardous constituents (benzene, methyl isobutyl
ketone, toluene, xlyene, methyl ethyl ketone, naphthalene phenol, 2-
chlorophenol, nickel, cadmium, chromium, silver, barium, and lead).
Is the waste hazardous?
Definite: The mobile tanker is hazardous waste due to lead content -
can be rendered non-hazardous by mixing with concrete and
landfilling. The waste does not exhibit~ other character-
istic of hazardous waste (ignitability, corrosivity or re-
activity) however,
The other tanks contain hazardous constituents that if the constituents
came from a listed process or hazardous waste, then the entire mass is
a hazardous waste. However, we have no specific knowledfie that any of
the constituents came from a listed waste or process. T 1s determination
could only be made from knowledge of the waste streams prior to delivery
to the site. If only one waste delivered to the site was hazardous and
this waste was mixed, before or after treatment with the materials in
the tanks, then the entire mixture is hazardous.

It is apparent that there were multiple opportunities (i.e. 20 to 30,000
55 gallon drums on site, site was operated for years, there are listed
hazardous constituents, the process of distillation was suppose to have
occurred on site and the residues from this recess is a listed hazardous
waste for a listed hazardous waste to be mixed with the materials. This
becomes significant when all it requires to demonstrate hazardous waste
is one drop or one gallon from one listed process or listed waste being
treated or mixed on this site.
Our position c~n be one that with a reasonable degree of certainty the
waste is hazardous and must be managed as hazardous waste, although this
opinion would be based on probability. I would not hesitate to go before
any jury with this argument or before a competent judge,
Our position can be one that as the waste sits on the site now it is not
ignitable, corrosive, reactive or EP toxic. Since we have no knowledge
of the sources of waste or individual waste streams, we have no reason-
able assurance that it is hazardous. Then it could be managed as a
routine solid waste. I think this position is less defensible than the
above position.
However, for practical (problem solving) it is easier to handle the waste
as non-hazardous (i.e. heat to drive off the hazardous organics and dry
the residue, test the residue for EP toxicity and if acceptable landfill
the residue or leave on-site.
Again however, if all the above does not work out and we try to argue
that the waste was hazardous all along and we were only doing what is
practical or convenient, where does that leave us? Would a detailed
consent order help to define: What must be done, how and to what
degree, in case we do have a problem?
The site is already on the Superfund list. EPA is checking their files
to see to what extent the State and EPA may share in responsibility
(liability) (as a result of emergency measures) if a Superfund action
is taken. Also Superfund would address the landfill on site. Do we
want to open that can of worms?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dan Oakley
FROM: Bill Meyer
SUBJECT: Jadco Hughes
At the recent hearing before Judge Friday on October 15, 1982, a point was
raised concerning the characterization of the waste as hazardous waste.
The following is a discussion of this issue.
One must consider that while the number of samples taken from the site are
numerous, that the area sampled is small, i.e. through 1 access port in the
center·or··end of a 17 to 34' tank, and it is difficult to strongly imply
that·the State samples are representative of the entire tank contents. We
can only do the best we can and make judgements as to the contents based
on our analytical data from limited samples.
There are several ways materials are considered to be hazardous including
exhibiting characteristic (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and/or
EP toxicity) or being listed as hazardous. The following is a presentation
for considering the materials as hazardous.
Primary Reasons
(1) Under 40 CFR 261.3(b)(2) and NCAC lOF .0029, a waste mixture becomes a
hazardous waste when a listed hazardous waste is first added. There
are no constraints on hazardous waste volume added or concentration.
It is simply the fact the materials are mixed that initiates the
hazardous waste definition. In order to demonstrate that the mixture
of materials on this site are not hazardous, Jadco Hughes would have
to demonstrate that not even a single drop of a listed hazardous waste
was added to the mixture. This would be difficult since the State has
identified multiple constituents. The State considers the material
in tanks 1,2,3,4 to be hazardous waste from this prospective.
(2) Tanks 2 and 4 (10 x 17' and 10 x 34' respectively) are hazardous waste
from a toxic metal prospective in that tank 2 exceeds the maximum
allowable standard for Cd and tank 4 for chromium.

If Judge Friday orders that these materials be placed in a routine solid
waste disposal site, the order would probably be illegal since the materials
exceed 1000 kg and must be managed at a permitted hazardous waste facility.
The landfill option in Gaston County is probably not a legal option.

Dr. Morrow has asked me to comment upon the issue paper from the point
of view of DlJR's responsibilities in t1aste man.agement. We have observed
--over-'thff past several years a marked irnprov~ment in· collaboration between
our program representatives and those with I'elated responsibilities in
NRCD and the Department of Agrictilture. The issues of overlaps and gaps
appear to us to have been largely, if not completely, solved due to the
steps taken by officials at all levels of the involved departments.
It would be our opinion that ·your Board's staff under your direction
could and should provide the necessary oversight instead of yet another
committee in state government. I would also caution against investing
in any new organization responsibilities for grant and rules review that
would further slow an already rather cumbersome and lengthy process.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and cow.ment upon this material.

Need for Hazardous Waste Disposal Site.
The Committee finds that there is a need in NC for· a disposal site for hazardous
waste and low-level radioactive wastes. Whenever economically feasible, wastes
should be recycled. Nevertheless, the need for a permanent disposal site for ..
much of the waste generated in NC will continue.

The Coll\l!littee finds that there is pressing need for coordinaticn with respect
..... .,t:oefo,ironmental programs in nonemergency situations. These programs are
:
interrelated and an integrated approach to f-nvironmental management is essential.
Effective coordination among the various programs is needed with respect to both
day-to-day activities and long-range planning.
Absence of Effective Organizational Mechanism for Coordinating Environmental Programs
The Committee finds that there currently does not exist an effective organizational
mechanism for coordinating environmental programs among departments. As a
result, many low-level problems are permitted to become acute.' The absence of
an effective mi!chanism for coordination causes many problems to rise within the
hierarchical structures of the departments and seek their resolution in
interdepartmental negotiations at the secretarial level or in action by the
Governor. or the General Assembly.

Possible Solutions to Problem of Coordinating Environmental Programs
a. One possible means to address the problem of c:oordination among environm;ental
programs would be to change the organizational structure end place· related:··
environmental programs within the same agency. This approach would facilitiate
•
coordination by establishing an organizational structure that would recognize
the interre.lationships among environmental programs. The internal agency
structure could be designed in ways to enhance coordination, avoid duplication
· of effort, and help assure an.integrated approach to enviro:unental manage~nt.
·Another possibility would be t~ '~t ~~e • peison in ch.a°rge of envir~n~n~ai<'i{~(;:~/'.·;
programs within the current organizational structure. This person could be
given responsibility for coord:i.riiit1on of envircnmental programs and, perhaps,
be given authority to override departmental decisions.
c. Another choice would be to create within the E)<ecutive Brarich a committee
to coordinate environmental programs.
d. Another possibility is to rely ·on the current inctemental approach and deal
with coordination problems individually as they arise.
Ill. Recommendations
The Study Committee does not, at this time, recommend any change3 in the
organization of environmental programs. The Committee will study possible
organizational changes after the 1980 Session, in light of efforts by the
Executive Branch to establish an effective mechanism for coordination of
environmental programs within the existing organizational structure.
Recommendation with Respect to Mechanism for Coordination

establish a committee or other mechanism for coordination of environmental programs.

Study Committee made the following finding:
"The Committee finds that there is pressing need for coordination with
respect to environmental programs in nonemergency situations. These
_____ progi;_ams are interrelated and an integrated approach to environmental
management is essential. Effective co~rdination amcng the various programs
is needed with respect to both day-to-day activities and long-range planning.•
The Study Committee recommended that:
"The Executive Branch, in the immediate future, ·establish a committee or
other mechanism for coordination of environmental programs. The mechanism
should be designed to assure-an integrated approach to environmental management,
rather than merely addressing individual problems of coordination as they
arise."
Article III, Sec. 5, Clause 10, of the Constitution of NC provides a procedure
whic,h could be used to make any organizational changes necessary to enhance
coordination among environmental programs:
"The General Assembly shall prescribe the functions, powers, and duties

If those changes affect existing law, they shall be set forth in executive

Management Act of 1981 caitained the charge as outlined on the lead page of this

existed at the time of this report and enactment of subsequent legislation.
Recommended Action
Preface
The establishment of the_Governor's Waste Management Board was significant in
that the General Assembly, acting on recommendations from the Governor's Task Force
on Waste Management, recognized the desirability of the people of NC to have the
waste problem addressed by a board canprised of NC citizens and ctate agencies involved
in the regulatory program.

While the Board w not have statutory authority to promulgate rules and
regulations on hazardous and lc,,,-level radioactive was. the Board is charged with
the legal responsibility to review the state's comprehensive waste management system
and make recanmendations to the Governor, cognizant state agencies, and the General ..
Assembly on ways to improve waste management.

management of North Carolina's program.:;?'The Board should be an advocate for the
agencies before the Advisory Budget Canmission and the General Assembly to insure that
adequate state funds are available for the management of the program.
,~
' ) 0·· The Board should be the primary review agency for requests for funds by state
agencies fran sources other than the state for the start up of programs purported
to support the waste Management program.
Mechanism
The toochanism for achieving the goals and objectives, and for carrying out
Board policy, could be the formatioo of a Waste Management Oversight Committee under
the Governor's Waste Management Board.
Waste Management Oversight Committee
The formation of this committee would assure open communicaticn necessary.to
improve the waste management program in NC. While there are areas of prograll1m3tic
overlap, most of these appear to be caused by the states adoption of federal
----·
regulations. 'l'he adoption ot tnese regu.1.o~.1vu.i-""'.z .... _ ---~-

monitor the programs,
.r federal law, if the states lnot elect to enforce and
the federal g·overnment will do it ~or them. tlorth Carolina
has elected to administer the programs in cur state and this most certainly is a·
wise deciDion.·-i
I believe the intent of the 1981 Legislation indicated the General Assembly;s
desire to bring under one umbrella an ability to insure that adequate steps were.•
being taken in the areas of waste management, and that duplication of effort was
eliminated and budgeting for carrying out the program was not duplicated •. I do
not feel the intent was to create a super department to handle waste management or,·· .
. ½{5;:....--::.:-'c.,.:.~:. ·::·.:;;,-::::-::~· ·.
t~';, •' :-;; ::\!·e~vironmental affairs~
of Buman Resources and the Department of Natural Resources. and Community Developlllenti. :· ·
have reduced, by Memorandums of Unders.t:and.ing between the departments, program
enforcement, overlap and permitting.
There are still areas that cause coocern for the departments. These deal -~
primarily with areas where the laws are not quite clear with regard to primacy,
and the feeling is that sanething may fall through the cracks.
'committee Composition
The composition of the oversight Committee, consisting of members of the
rule and regulation fi~king authorities of the affected departments and c~~isions
i.e. Commission for Health Services, Environmental Manag·ement Commission, Radiation
Protection Commission, and the NC Pesticides Board, and also representatives from
the two department secretaries and the Commissioner of Agriculture should allow for
an open forum in which these problems and concerns could be addressed on a regular
basis. Most problems we have are brought about because of a lack of communications •.
The membership of the canrnittee should consist of two members each from the
four commissions previously mentioned. The two members fran each commission should be
the Chairman and one other designated by the commission and both should be knowledgeablE
in their duties, authority, and programs which they represent. The Cabinet Secretaries
•
. .L.L
should serve or appoi. designee, someone who is tho.ghly familiar with each
departments'progra.~s as to their affect on waste manag-nt.
Support staff to the canmittee should be furnished by the three departments,
one from programs and operations and one familiar with their respective budgets •
The staff of the Governor's Waste Management Board would coordinate the work
the committee and follow up ai seeing that the tasks are completed.
Committee Functions
. .
The functions of this committee can be to: l) look at long range planning1
i
2) consider all reguests for funds and personnel as they affect waste manageli)ent1
' ..
review and canment on grant applications that affect waste management, 4) consider
. '_:·._._ ·•:. -,. '·:,::.

. ·-~' .. ~ :-.::. :-
for a more cohesive program, 5) review all proposed regulatory changes recC111mended
by the various ccxnmissions as to there interdepartmental impa~ts,·and any other
matters that the Governor's Waste Management Board may ask the canmittee to consider.
Governor's Waste Management Board Actia,
---·All.-rie'comrnenclations from this committee would go ... t~-the Governor's Waste
Management Board for review and final action., The Oversight Committee would be
advisory in nature and not have any statutory authority for promulgating rules
and regulations outside of those granted to the individual cccnmissions by law. The
meetings of the Oversight Committee should be scheduled in such a manner as to allow
any recommendations that may cane frcrn this ccxnmittee to be presented to the -full
commissions represented by the committee. The Governor's Waste Management Board
should not take any actiai on recanmendations from the Oversight'Committee until
canments have been received from the affected commissions and agencies. Those
recommendations on changes that may affect city and county governments should be
referred to the appropriate organizations to all= for dissemination of this
information and the receipt of input on the subject.
Conclusion
With the formation of this Oversight Committee, I feel the objectives and
intent of the General Assembly's action can be carried out; this can be .achieved
•
without ma·ssive ·reorg~tion of departments, which woold be extremely costly
and time consuming. The mechanism does exist for bring-the formation of this
committee about. There also is _something to be said for checks and balances by
-not having all regulatory authority under one roof. Refining the existing syst~m
should produce the better product for North Carolina.

Meyer
State v. C. A. Hughes, et al
'
Judge Friday has set this natter for hearing on October 1,
1982 at 2:00 p.m. in Lincolnton. (A copy of the Order is at-
tached for your files.) At present the matters for hearing
are the consideration of the defendant's plan for removal,
which has not yet been submitted, and the State's motion for
a removal order. Other motions will likely be filed by the
parties. I would like to meet with you and Bill Meyer as
soon as possible to discuss our evidence. I will plan on being
in your office at 10:00 am., September 3, 1982 unless you ad-
vise me of a conflict. Matters that should be addressed are:
1. Meyer's recollection and notes from our last
meeting on March 1, 1982; activities undertaken
by the State to determine feasibility of the
plan outlined, and why it cannot be done.
(Citations to applicable statutes and regula-
tions will be helpful.)
2. Sampling and analyses performed on the materials
in the tankers should be combined in one report.
3. Cross-referencing on the hazardous constituents
to DHR regulations on storage/disposal.
4. The State's best judgment, at this date, on method
of proceeding.
5. Status of hazardous waste landfill siting in
North Carolina; prospects for EPA or State
funding for clean-up must be clearly defined
for Judge Friday.
I will have available on the 3rd a chronology of the
Judgments and Orders previously entered and the requirements
placed on the defendants thereby. By copy of this memo, I am
• • Page Two

asking Keith Overcash to be available for the hearing on
October 1, 1982, and to provide his recollection of the
initial division of responsibility for the tankers. (Each
defendant has stated they have completed their assigned
share.) Rick Doby should also be.available for trial.
This matter needs to be terminated as quickly as pos-
sible. As OHR is the principle agency with authority in this
area at this point in time, an agency position should be
fully considered and developed so that the action will have
a clearly-defined direction. Please contact me with any
questions.

FROM: Bill Meyer ;6-,..flf IA~~
SUBJECT: Jadco-Huqhes Site
Cason Street
Belmont, N.C.
STATE HEALTH DIRECTOR
On March 17, 1982 this agency sampled the 5 containers/tanks on
the Jadco-Hughes Site to further determine the contents of
materials. A combination of ne1·1 data and data from past sarnp ling
indicates that the residual materials must be managed as a
hazardous waste Based on this conclusion, the Solid and
Hazardous Waste Management Branch has the following comments
on the site.
No PCB's were identified in any tank on the site based on
3/17/82 sampling.
Tank #3 is not empty, as marked, and contains greater than
98% volatile materials (not water as reported by Chembac
Labs),:;:> 3% COD and several hazardous waste constituents.
The large tanks contain viscous·liquids with many hazardous
constituents. Our data indicates that the materials ca~ be
ignited but are not hazardous from an ignitability ·standpoint.
Our lab cannot confirm that the ratio of 30 parts solvent to
one part waste would be required fc: liquid injection incin-
eration -casual testin~ indicates a much lower ratio especially
for the large 10' x 32 tank #4. The North end of the 2 com-
partment tank may require the 30 to l ratio depending upon
solvent type (the 30:l ratio was stated as fact by Charles
Milford).

Our staff also cannot confirm the chemist's statement of
80-90% cross linkage. Again casual observation of the
chemical and physical characteristics indicate little
polymerization or total mass cross linkage has occurred
but rather simple solidification into distinct phases
throuqhout the tanks has occurred.
'
The local landfill was evaluated for disposal oLthe materials
on March 19, 1982. The materials cannot be accepted at
·a routine sanitary landfill.
It is our opinion that the materials are a mixture of
many hazardous wastes and appears to consist largely of
tank bottoms from a distilled process.
The data that we have on the site preclude management
of the material except as hazardous waste.
It is our opinion that the site should be included under
CERCLA (Superfund), a copv of which is enclosed. The
on-site landfilled debris should also be addressed. This
does not assure clean-up any time in the near future
because federal funds are limited and are to be used only
for sites with high priority on a national basis. Even
if "Superfund" money were availabe, EPA is bound by law
to first attempt to have the responsible parties pay for
the clean-up or to sue them to reimburse the fund ..
Jadco-Hughes has never made an adequate effort to study
the materials to determine chemical and/or physical
characteristics. No plan of action for evaluation or
disposal has ever been submitted. Nearly all statements
from Jadco-Hughes have been inaccurate or cannot be
substantiated by this agency. We have spent considerable
resources on this project and still are not in· a position
to firmly recommend a plan of action. It is requested
that Jadco-Hughes accept responsibility fer developing
a formal plan of action to manage clean-up and disposal
of the materials as hazardous waste.

the above plan:

Re: State vs. C. A. Hughes, Inc., et al.
72 CVS 1383 (Gaston County)
Dear Dan:
Thank you for your letter of March 12, 1982.
I met on today with Dick Lowe, counsel for C. A. Hughes, Inc., and reviewed
with him a draft of the proposed contract for. the removal of the contents in
the tanks, It would appear at this time that our clients will be able to resolve
their differences.
The only obstacle to execution of the agreement is the new requirement by
the State of North Carolina that ownership be· acknowledged .. Jadco operated
the plant under a lease for a very short while and denies that it ever acquired
title to any of the materials in .the drums. or .in .. tjle tanks. My client is willing,
however, in order to settle the controversy .to··go·beyond the call of duty and
accept one-half of the costs-in completing cle_arance of the site. At this late
date it is inconceivable to me that Jadco and ·the individual defendants woutd
·now accept ownership of any portion of the waste.
Awaiting your response, I am
JBG:mlr

RE: State v. C. A. Hughes, Inc., et al
72 CVS 1383 (Gaston County)
Gentlemen:
The Department of Human Resources advises me that the
material in the tankers will be re-sampled and analyzed pre-
paratory to its acceptance in a county landfill. This will
enable a verification to be made of the nature of the material,
and is necessary for county approval. In addition, the water
sampling and analysis will likely be completed by March 26,
1982, with a view toward providing a recommendation on dis-
posal by the end of the month.
Although we are not yet in a position to provide the
conditions of landfilling, it is apparent that some type of
documentation (by letter perhaps) of ownership of, and res-
ponsibility for, the tankers and material will be necessary

in the event a future leachate problem develops. This state-
ment would likely be included in the request of the companies
to use the county landfill in the manner designated. I would
appreciate any thoughts you have on this sub⇒ect.

RE: Sta-tev. C. A. Hughes, Inc., et al
75 CVS 1383 (Gaston)
Gentlemen:
This letter will serve to confirm the understandings and agree-
ments reached in our meeting in Gastonia on Monday, March 1,
1982. Basically, the principles of Jadco, Inc. and Hughes,
Inc. agreed to a two-step removal operation.
1. The liquid in the tankers will be pumped out and
properly disposed of. It is presently believed to be primarily
rainwater and hopefully can be conventionally treated. The
Division of Human Resources (DHR) will check with municipal
treatment plants in the area (the first contact will be with
Belmont), and sample and analyze the liquid prior to disposition.
(A) If the liquid is treatable, the State will notify Jadco/
Hughes and the disposal will be arranged. (B) If the liquid is
not conventionally treatable, I feel the companies should
arrange for proper disposition.
l •
Page Two
5 March 1982
2. The semi-solid cross-linked resins in the two large
tankers and one small tanker will be treated as an entity. The
determination of the process of fixing the material so that it
is insoluble and the designation of a landfill site will be
made by DHR (and the appropriate county officials) and provided
to the companies. Although the conditions under which this will
be acceptable are not yet known, the general consensus was that
the process would involve movement of the tankers to a landfill,
the filling of the tankers with an absorbent or concrete, and
the lining and capping of the disposal trench with concrete. At
least two dry-wells for monitoring purposes would be installed
at the companies' expense.
I have informed Judge Friday of our progress and he has agreed
to continue the matter for 60-90 days, depending on the needs of
the parties to appear before him. In any event, a final
hearing will be scheduled to terminate the matter, when
appropriate.
I feel we now have
problem, and look
removal process.
a ba'sis for the resolution of this long-standing
forward to the expeditious completion of this

Re: State v. C. A. Hughes, et al. -Gaston County
Enclosed is a copy of the recent Order, issued by Judge
Friday, setting this matter for hearing in Lincolnton on March 12,
1982 at 2:00 p.m. The Order also requires a proposal for the
removal to be documented and reported by the defendants to the
Court prior to March 11, 1982.
I believe we should be prepared once again to present
testimony regarding the present condition of the site and the
present system of RCRA regulations. I would appreciate it if you
would contact the appropriate DHR personnel (Rick Doby or Bill
Myer).' I am, by copy of this memorandum, asking Keith Overcash
to attend the hearing, in case there are questions regarding
past history.
Please let me know if you have any comments.

Re: State v. C. A. Hughes, et al
Dear Judge Friday:
Enclosed for your consideration, and signature if
acceptable, is an Order requiring the defendants to document
their removal efforts within a certain period of days (I
would suggest that 30 days is reasonable), and setting the
entire matter for hearing at your convenience. I believe
the parties would accommodate your schedule and come to
Lincolnton, perhaps on a Friday afternoon. If you will
return the Order to me, in the enclosed addressed envelope,
I will file and serve it on the defendants.
I understand that some efforts have been undertaken by
both C. A. Hughes, et al and Jadco, et al, but the State has
received no firm proposals.
Please feel free to contact me at 919/733-5725 if you
have any questions.

GentJ_emen:
On December 9, 1981 I received a call fro::-, Mr. Charles
Milford of Abco Industries regardin9 the pre;:,aration of a plan
for removal/disposal of the chemical matE·rial at tile l?etlmont
site. Pursuant to his request, Er. Glenn Dunn and Hr . .:Terry
Rhodes (Department of Hurnan Resources) have contacted Hr. Milford
and provided him with a small sample of the black sludge in
tanker 1!2. The State is preparcc to ,mrJ,: with r~r. Milford in
every way possible.
I have also Freviously been contacted .by r,;r. Dave t·ieill
regardinc; his intended cor.lll'.unications with engineers in the area
to look into .the matter. ;-,hile I am willing to listen to any
possiLlc alternatives, it appears that the best way to proceed
at this ·point is for the defen.dants to work jointly. I would
appreciate any information you hav,;, on a combined course of
action.
Hr. ~.l.ilford also requested assurances that persons entering
"the site for purposes of the cleanup would not be identified or
~-· categorized as storage facility operators under the Resource-•
·conservation and Recovery Act. While transporation and disposal
will of course be subject to RCRA requireraents, it seems an
unnecessary exercise of form over substance to label the cleanup

Re: State v. C. A. Hughes, Inc., et al
(Gaston -75 CVS 1383)
Gentlemen:
Attached for your information is a copy of the most recent
inspection report concerning the Hughes-Jadco facility and an
analysis sheet showing the hazardous constituents in the tanks.
Please note that samples were taken from three steel tankers
and one mobile tanker. Also attached is a copy of an analysis
provided by Mr. Dave Neill.
The position of the State at this time is that the adjudged
nuisance at the site has never been abated in accordance with the
Judgment and orders entered herein. Furthermore, in the interim
an entirely new area of Federal and State regulatory law has been
firmly established. The Federal Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (42 use 6901) and the State Solid WasteManagement
Act (G.S. 130-166.16) now specifically provide for the proper
management of the hazardous constituents in this waste. There-
fore, any plan for removal, disposal or even storage must comply
with the State's hazardous waste program, administered by the
Department of Human Resources. The previous alternative for
disposal in Alabama, to be handled by Shenandoah Recycling,
would constitute an acceptable plan. In light of the recent
analyses not confirming the presence of PCB's, it appears
possible' that SCA Services in South Carolina may again be a less
expensive alternative. In addition, some possibility of incin-
eration exists and should be explored.
Page Two
2 December 1981
Any reasonable plan submitted will be reviewed by the
Department of Human Resouces for consistency with State and
Federal law, and I urge you to contact Shenandoah Recycling,
SCA or other parties with a view toward resolving this matter
once and for all.
Any technical questions you may have can be addressed by
Mr. Bill Strickland (919/733-2178) or Mr. Richard Doby (704/
637-0944). They are ready to assist you in any way possible.
Please also note that Mr. Glenn Dunn (919/733-2178), a staff
attorney with the Department of Human Resources, Solid and
Hazardous Waste Branch, is now assisting me with this matter.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

State Health Director
An inspection was made at the C. A. Hughes-Jadco Chemical Reclaimation site
on October 8, 1981 by Jerry.Rhodes and Rick Doby of the N.C. Solid and Hazard-
ous Waste Management Branch. Primary purpose of this visit was to obtain
· samples from the tanks and the old mobile tanker remaining on this site.
Three tanks remain that contain chemical residues. The back, large tank
(10-20,000 gallons) appears to be a single compartment and is almost full
of sludge and liquid. The chemical odor coming from this tank was very
strong. The other large tank, same size as the back one, has two compart-
ments. One end is almost full of a black sludge that will barely flow.
The other compartment contains liquids which appeared to be water and
another, lighter layer. Again, a chemical odor was detected from both
compartments. The third tank is much smaller and only contains a few
inches of almost solid residue.
The ground under the large tanks appears to be contaminated with chemicals.
Just to the north is a large puddle of tar-like material. Pressing this
tar releases liquids.· A leaking 55-gallon drum is also in the immediate
area. An area south of the tanks is free of any vegetation. A chemical
odor can be detected around the tanks and downwind from the tanks.
The rusted mobile tanker is in very poor condition. The solid sludge con-
tained in this tanker is falling on the ground as the tanker rust away.
Sample data are tabulated in Table l. The solid residue from the mobile
tanker failed the EP Toxicity test (7 .4 ppm Pb extractable). The tanks
contain complex organic residues that create problems with analysis. A
lot of the materials appear to be organic acids and esters. However, all
tanks contain spent solvents. PCB was not detected in these samples.

State v. c. A. Hughes, et al
Tnank you for your letter of September 24, 1981, and the
accompanying article. While I would like to express some
optimism over the use of "super fund" money in this situation,
I am afraid that avenue is not promising. My understanding of
the funding is that each state has been allowed one priority
situation, not involving an imminent hazard (emergency), for
which the funds can be used. The Belmont site is not this
state's priority non-emergency situation. Funding is also
available in emergency situations if the state and EPA agree
on the imminent hazard. Due to the nature of the steel, tankers
indications are that this would not be an emergency matter of
the type for which funds would be available.
Other points about the super fund, of which you may be un-
aware, are that (1) its primary purpose is to alleviate hazards
from abandoned sites, for which no responsible party has been
located, and (2) reimbursement of the money actually spent will
be pursued wherever possible. It seems likely that contracting
by EPA for removal would actually result in an ultimate increase
in the cost of the removal.
I regret that this avenue appears to be fruitless. If you
have any other questions regarding this, the North Carolina con-
tact person for EPA is Mr. Gregory Fraley (404/881-2234).
I have not heard anything regarding possible removal of the
material since our last meeting in Lincolnton. I feel it is
incumbent on the parties to follow through on the Chem-Waste

Dear Bill:
Subsequent to our conversation today, I swoke with
Ed Quillen of Shenandoah Recycling, Inc. regarding any recent
sample analyses. He informed me that his procedure in May of
this year was to send the sample directly to Chem-Waste
Management for a determination of disposal availability. Chem-
Haste responded favorably, but neither he nor I have any more
recent analyses than what you already have.
The people Mr. Quillin has worked with are Jay Kaplan
(800/248-7829, Marietta, Ga.) and Ed Bazier and Becky McClure
(205/652-9531, Emelle, Ala.). You may want to speak with them
directly.
As a note,. the estimate set out in the June 10, 1981
letter vrom Mr. Quillen totthis office is now approximately
15% higher due to an increase in disposal and transportation
costs.
Please give me a call if you have any questions.

'.I'his letter will confirm the arrangements agreed upon in our telephone conversation on Au9ust 19, 1981 concerning this case. You agreed to hear a motion by the State for removal of sludge wastei \material still located at the Belmont site on Friday, September 11, 1981 at 2:00 p.rn.·in the Gaston County Courthouse. I have relayed your request for a special one-day commission to conduct the hearing to Mr. Dallas Cameron, who has indicated that will pose no problems . ...
Since I have previously filed the motion requesting the removal, I will serve all parties with a Notice of the hecring on the motion rather than having an Order signed by you.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

l-\s you are aware, the tankers filled with chemical
sludge waste are still present on'the C. A. Hughes site.
There has been little activity in this matter for two yaars,
while the hazardous waste disposal problem received the
general attention of the legislature. The matter should
be closed out, however, and Judge Jo'hn R. Friday has tenta-
tively agreed to hear a motion by the State seeking removal
of the sludge on September 11, 1981 at 2:00 p.m. in Gastonia.
I will need a repeesentative from each division to attend
and testify concerning the present status of the site, the
necessity for removal and the applicable RCRA requirements
rega.rding storage/handling/disposal. Pleasie advise me as
soon as possible who is available to attend so that I may
discuss the matter directly with them.

Re: State v. C. A. Hughes, et al -75 CVS 1383
(Gaston County}
Dear Judge Friday:
As you may recall, there are still present on the Belmont
site two steel tankers containing chemical sludge material.
The last formal hearing of this matter was in September, 1978,
at which time it was ordered by consent that the matter would
be stayed indefinitely pending certain State actions with
regard to PCB disposal and hazardous waste management. I
believe my last correspondence to you was in March, 1980
concerning our hope that the parties would obtain estimates
for removal of the material, since ft did not appear likely a
disposal site in North Carolina would be available in the
immediate future.
While the situation has stayed essentially the same for the
past two years, the State has always been interested in the
removal of the sludge from the tankers and termination of the
suit. To this end, we have obtained a firm estaimate for the
disposal by Shenandoah Recycling, Inc. -$62,285.00. We have
requested voluntary action by the defendants to no avail, and
would like to request this removal option be ordered by the
court.
To this end, I have enclosed an Order, for your consideration,
setting a hearing in this matter. (A copy of a Motion to be
filed herein is enclosed also for your information.} In order
to give the parties time to accommodate their schedule to this
hearing, I would suggest you consider some date after August 10,
1981. I believe the parties would meet at your convenience,
perhaps in Lincolnton. If you will return the original and copy
of the Order to me, I will file and serve it.

Dear Ed:·
I want to thank you for getting us the cost estimate for
disposal of the waste from the incinerator eite in Belmont.
Considering the form of the wastes, I know the estimate was
difficult to formulate. Getting approval from Chem Waste
Management appears to be a feat in itself:
He have provided a COf,y of the estimate to the defendants
and the judge. If the de:fendcrnts do not move to dispose of the
waste voluntarily, we intend to seek an order for the disposal
of the wustes.
Of course, this process may take quite a few weeks. t~e
will be in touch with you,·concerning ehe outcome.

Thanks again for your assistance.

RALEIGH

Attached for your review and consideration is a firm estimate for removal
of the sludge waste material presently stored in the two tankers at the
Belmont site. The material has been re-sampled by the State, and the
estimate by Shenandoah Recycling, Inc. is based on this latest sample
and their contacts with Chem-Waste Management.
It would appear this cost is reasonable, arid it is my intention to move
for an Order requiring removal based thereon. I have not done so prior
to contacting each of you, as it is my hope that your clients can achieve
this final clean-up voluntarily. The likelihood of any less expensive
alternative (perhaps disposal at a North Caro~ina location) would not ap-
pear to be very great.
Please.feel free to contact Mr .. Quillen directly if you wis~. I look for-
ward to hearing·from you.

FROM: C. Richard Doby, Sr.
(per telephone dictation to Nell 1/29/81)
SUBJECT: Inspection of C. A. Hughes-Jadco Chemical Reclamation facility,
Belmont, N.C., Cason Street
DIRECTOR
Inspection made by C. Richard Doby, Sr., on 1-28-81, and found the following:
-Inadequate gate providing easy access by vehicle.
-Poor drainage with significant amount of ponding water.
-Slight odors near collapsed building -odor like sweet esters.
-Approximately 50-75 deteriorating paper bags containing 3 separate items:
some bags contained aluminum sulfate, some of them contained alum, others
contained concrete mix. All the bags had become hardened and appeared to
be somewhat oxidized.
Also on the site, found 3 large tanks (approx. 15 feet tall), unable to check
contents. In order to check contents, need ladder and sampling equipment.
When the site was closed in 1978, these tanks were partially filled with solid
sludge,
There was a fourth tank which is an empty water tank.
There was also a deteriorated mobile tanker on the site with a solid green
sludge and it appeared to be an oxidized copper compound.
Found one 55-gallon drum of leaking sludge that appeared to be like tar, This
drum was not on the site when·it was closed·. The label on the drum said Butane.
Two water samples were taken, one above and one below site, They were placed in
c6_urier mail yesterday, 1-28-81, along with pictures of the site,

Belmont Waste Situation
A memo dated December 4, 1980, concerning the above referenced matter was sent
to you, Page Benton and myself from Dan Oakley, attorney for NRCD. In this
memo Dan requested information concerning the status of the site and what
remedial actions, if any, are needed. This matter is still in the courts and
Dan wanted this information so he could determine his next legal move this
month (January). Bob Reilly and myself asked you at a meeting on December 11,
1980, to investigate the site and report your findings. By phone last week I
again requested this information. As of the date of this memorandi.nn, neither
Bob, Dan nor myself have received any information concerning the Belmont site.
In order that Dan can proceed in court as quickly as possible, I am once again
requesting your assistance in this matter.
