Section 1
INTRODUCTION
APRIL 1994
SECTION 1
This document presents the workplan to conduct waste, soil, vessel, and drum removal activities at the
Macon/Dockery Site in Richmond County, North Carolina (See Figure 1 ). The removal activities are
required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in conjunction wtth the
Remedial Action specttied in US EPA's Record of Decision for the Macon/Dockery Site.
1.1 Background
The Macon/Dockery Site is composed of two non-contiguous, independently owned parcels of land: the
Macon portion of the stte (the "Macon Property") and the Dockery portion of the stte (the "Dockery
Property").
The Macon property, a former waste disposal and oil recycling facility, is approximately 16 acres in size
and is located approximately 1.6 miles southwest of Cordova, North Carolina and 0.76 miles east of the
Pee Dee River on State Road 1103. From May 1979 until March 1982, the Macon property was the
location of a waste disposal and oil recycling business. Materials such as antifreeze, used waste oil,
metals, paint, solvent wastes, waste acid, and bases were handled and stored on this portion of the
site. During this period of operation, some of these materials were disposed of in unlined lagoons and
drums, resulting in the release of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and solvents, on the
Macon property.
The Dockery property is located approximately 500 feet north of, and nearly adjacent to, the Macon
property on the west side of State Road 1103, near Cordova, Richmond County, North Carolina. Mr.
Macon's waste management operations included storage and disposal of materials on the nearby
Dockery property.
On November 1, 1983, US EPA initiated an emergency removal on the Macon property. Removal
operations on the Dockery property began on January 9, 1984. Removal activities at both properties
were completed on January 17, 1984. During the course of the removal action, US EPA removed
contaminated soils and materials (including over 2,000 drums of hazardous substances) from the entire
site. Some hazardous substances were contained on-site until the initiation of remedial action .

RMT WORKPLAN APRIL 1994
MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 1
In 1985, US EPA conducted a geological and sampling investigation at the Macon/Dockery Site, The
investigation detected the presence of hazardous substances in the ground water and soils. In July
1987, the site was placed on the National Priorities List. A Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study
(RI/FS) ~ommenced on April 13, 1988. It was concluded from the RI sampling efforts that ground water
beneath and hydraulically downgradient of the Site, and soil in two former lagoons, required further
remedial action. The FS and a proposed plan for remedial action were completed in July 1991.
On September 30, 1991, US EPA issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for the Macon/Dockery Site.
The ROD was reissued on April 21, 1992. The ROD set forth the US EPA's rationale and the remedy
selected to address remaining vessels, and affected soils and ground water identified at the stte. US
EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) and Statement of Work (SOW) for Remedial
Design and Remedial Action. The effective date of the UAO (Appendix A) was June 30, 1992, The
SOW lists the requirements for implementing the remedy as described in the ROD and for achieving
the Pertormance Standards set forth in the ROD. The following remedial actions and work elements
relative to solid wastes and affected soils were specttied for the Macon/Dockery Site by US EPA:
Source Control. Contaminated soils at Lagoon 7 and Lagoon 1 O and related materials must
be addressed. Vadose zone soils underlying Lagoon 7 must be treated via soil vapor
extraction to remove tetrachloroethene to levels below the pertormance standard of 3 ppm.
The ROD and SOW required that a bioremediation treatabiltty evaluation of waste materials
from Lagoon 10 be pertormed using indigenous microbial populations to degrade carcinogenic
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs) to a Pertormance Standard of 2 ppm total cPAHs.
The treatability study for bioremediation of Lagoon 1 O waste was conducted and a report was
included in the Preliminary Design Report. Based on treatability study results and additional
information regarding the nature of the waste obtained from a resampling effort (results
reported to US EPA in a letter report dated December 10, 1993), it was determined that
bioremediation was not an appropriate treatment technology for the Lagoon 1 O materials.
Subsequently, the Macon/Dockery Site Group (MDSG) requested that US EPA amend the ROD
to provide for excavation and off-site disposal of Lagoon 10 materials. On March 28, 1994, US
EPA issued a Draft ROD Amendment that proposed a change to the ROD to include, among
other changes, excavation and off-stte disposal of Lagoon 1 O waste.

MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 1
1.2
Vessel Removal. Materials remaining in tanks and vats at the site must be transported to an
appropriate off-site facility for proper disposal or recycling. The vessels will be recycled or
decommissioned. If evidence of leakage is noted after the vessels are removed, the remedial
action will also include sampling and analysis, and, tt necessary, cleanup of affected surficial
soils.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this report is to present a workplan for removal and disposal of Lagoon 1 o waste and
affected soils, drummed materials generated as a result of previous investigation activities, and the
remaining vessels and their contents.
The scope of work includes removal and disposal of Lagoon 1 O waste materials and soils which exceed
the Performance Standard of 2 ppm total cPAHs as specttied in the SOW and ROD issued by US EPA.
In addition, all vessels (tanks, tankers, vats, and boiler) identified in previous reports, and existing on-
site drums containing drill cuttings, and other investigation related wastes will be removed and disposed
of off-site. Liquids generated during the investigation phase will be treated and disposed on-site.
A remedial action contractor will be retained to conduct these activities. The contractor selected to
implement the actions of this plan will be required to prepare detailed operational, contingency, and
health and safety plans before beginning remedial work. Personnel deployed to the site by this
contractor will be trained according to the requirements of 29 CFR Part 1910.120 -Hazardous Waste
Operations and Emergency Response and other OSHA requirements as appropriate.

PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS
APRIL 1994
SECTION 2
During the US EPA Removal Action (November 1983-January 1984), all lagoons on the Macon and
Dockery properties were excavated and backfilled with clean till and soil, except Lagoon 10. The
Remedial Investigation report stated that Lagoon 10 contains an estimated 940 tons of creosote waste.
Due to the volume of solidification material required, the On-Scene Coordinator for the US EPA
Removal Action decided that Lagoon 1 O would be backfilled, capped with a synthetic liner, and capped
with a three-foot clay cap. Prior to capping, Lagoon 1 O received five truckloads of solidified sludge from
Lagoon 7, two truckloads of boiler fly ash, 43 crushed empty drums, and contaminated soil from the
drum staging area.
Test ptts were employed during the Remedial Investigation phase to directly observe and sample waste
materials and vadose zone soils at Lagoon 10. Test ptt samples were analyzed tor organic and
inorganic constituents. The results are shown in Table 2-1. Analytical results indicated the presence of
a variety of organic constituents, primarily polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). RMT sampled
Lagoon 10 wastes on November 9, 1993, to confirm the RI sampling results and determine physical
characteristics of the waste. Results of the November 9, 1993 sample analysis are shown in Table
2·2.
2.2 Vessels
Vessels related to former waste disposal and oil recycling activities remain on-stte. A vessels inventory
was conducted on October 10, 1989, by Sirrine Environmental Consultants, Inc. to measure vessel
sizes, observe contents and estimate volume, and locate vessels on the site map. The location of
tanks and tankers is shown on Figure 2, and the location of vats is shown in Figure 3. A summary of
the estimated volume of materials in vessels is presented in Table 2·3. This summary is based upon
information obtained by Sirrine Environmental Consultants, Inc. during the remedial investigation in
1989.
Each phase (water, oil, tar, and solids) of the contents of the vessels was sampled by Sirrine on
October 23-24, 1989. These samples and a composited sample collected from vats 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and

RMT WORKPLAN APRIL 1994
MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 2
8 were analyzed for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) metals, TCLP volatiles, TCLP
semivolatiles, and the RCRA Hazard Characteristics of ignitability and corrosivity. Analytical results are
summarized in Table 2-4.
2.3 Drums
Approximately 520 drums containing drill cuttings, well development water, decontamination fluids, and
refuse have been generated as a result of investigation activtties. The drums are located at both the
Macon site (Figure 2) and the Dockery stte (Figure 4) near rnonttoring wells, decontamination area, and
soil boring locations. Drum contents will be managed in accordance with applicable RCRA
requirements and as otherwise required by the approved disposal facilities.

REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
3.1 Site Preparation
Field operations at the site will require completion of the following activities prior to removal and
disposal of vessels, Lagoon 10 wastes, and drums.
3.2
Mobilize and install temporary facilities and utilities, and establish site communications
and other site controls to comply with project requirements (existing truck/vehicle
decontamination units will be utilized);
Upgrade access roads and turnaround areas, where necessary; and
Install lined, bermed staging areas for bulk wastes removed from Lagoon 10.
Removal Activities
3.2.1 Lagoon 10
The exact dimensions and volumes are unknown. The Remedial Investigation Report states
that Lagoon 1 O contains an estimated 940 tons of creosote waste. The estimated volume of
waste contained in Lagoon 10 is based on the reported configuration and dimensions of the
lagoon. Approximate lagoon location and configuration ·is shown in Figure 2. Lagoon 1 O is
reported to be approximately 10 feet deep by 40 feet in width and 100 feet in length. The
depth includes a 3-foot thick cap.
The volume of waste and affected soil requiring off-site disposal has been re-estimated with
consideration for possible expansion of disturbed materials and the likely volume of affected soil
requiring removal. The revised volume estimate was calculated using the assumption that
approximately one foot of the soil surrounding the wastes will also be excavated and staged for
possible off-site disposal. An additional assumption is that the excavated materials will expand
approximately 20 percent as a result of excavation.
Est. vol. of waste material (after excavation) =
[ [(10 - 3 + 1) (40 + 2) (100 + 2)] / 27] 1.2 = 1,500 cy (approx)

The volume of overburden to be excavated and staged for return to the excavation was also
estimated. According to available information, the waste materials w,,re covered with a three
foot clay cap.
Est. vol. of overburden materials (after excavation) =
[13) (40 + 21 (100 + 2) / 27] 1.2 = 600cy (cepprox)
The estimated volume of material resulting from the excavation of Lapoon 10 is approximately
1,500 cubic yards. The final excavated volume may vary as a result of the subsur1ace soil
conditions and the types of materials found in the disposal areas.
Waste removal operations will require heavy earth-moving equipment, which may include
trackhoes, backhoes, bulldozers, and loaders. Excavation will include all overburden, waste,
and visibly-affected adjacent soil. The lateral boundaries of excavatio1 will be limited to the
extent necessary for machine operation and sidewall stability. Sidewall stability will be
maintained by excavating along a slope in accordance with Occupatio,1al Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) excavation standard 29 CFR 1926, Part 652.
Overburden will be staged separately from the soil that is visibly affected by the waste
materials. Overburden will be visually screened to exclude waste mat,irials from the
overburden stockpile. Overburden will be placed on an unlined stagin!J area. The stockpiled
overburden will be used as final cover after the wastes and affected sciils have been excavated
from the lagoon. Soils excavated to maintain sidewall stability and thal are not visibly affected
by the waste materials will also be stockpiled for use as backfill.
On the basis of available remedial investigation information, several waste and soil piles may
be formed by the excavated material. These could include: overburden, waste (crushed drums
and debris, oily waste, and creosote waste), and sidewall soils. These piles will be formed by
segregating wastes or soils, if possible, on the basis of visual inspection by the responsible field
engineer. The engineer will estimate the volume of each segregated p'le.

During excavation activities, storm water run-on, run-off, and accumulation will be minimized by
use of berms and diversion ditches. Erosion controls, such as hay bales staked along drainage
paths, will be installed to prevent excessive erosion and run-off resulting from removal activities.
If necessary, rainfall that accumulates in the open lagoon excavation during the project will be
absorbed by cement kiln dust or other appropriate absorbent materials. The cement kiln dust
will then be handled as overburden.
The volume of soil to be excavated will initially be limited to quantities that are visibly affected
by waste materials. Immunoassay will be used as a field screening method to guide removal of
affected soil exceeding 5 ppm total PAHs. Laboratory analysis will be performed to verity that
remaining soils meet the 2 ppm total carcinogenic PAH Performance Standard or tor a
maximum depth of twelve feet below land surface. Further excavation to meet the 2 ppm cPAH
standard is not warranted, as the remaining waste-related constituents, it any, will be sufficiently
deep to minimize the potential for direct contact, and transport modelling conducted during the
RI demonstrated that Lagoon 10 constituents posed only a minimal risk to ground water.
Therefore, constituent concentrations remaining at this depth will not present a health risk.or an
environmental hazard. Upon completion of waste and soil removal, dimensions of the
excavation will be estimated, photographed, and recorded tor record documents.
Backfill from an on-site borrow source will be sufficiently compacted to minimize cap
· subsidence. The clay material removed as overburden will be returned to the lagoon as cover
material and graded to attain positive drainage from the disturbed area. After final grading, the
disturbed areas ·will be revegetated with common grass seed (e.g., tescue).
Liquid wastes are not expected to be found in the lagoon. However, in the event that they are
encountered, liquid wastes will be adsorbed in the lagoon using surrounding soils or a
solidification media such as cement kiln dust or other appropriate absorbents, removed, and
staged as waste.
Overburden soils, excavated sidewall soils, and, it necessary, cement kiln dust used to absorb
rainfall in the lagoon will be temporarily segregated and staged tor return to the excavation as
backfill. These materials will be staged separately from waste spoils. Excavated wastes will be

staged and shipped in bulk. Sidewall soils and absorbent material that are found to be
unattected by the waste material will be returned to the excavated lagoon as backfill materials,
along with the clay cap.
Interim storage of wastes will be conducted in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and
local regulations. At a minimum, the Lagoon 10 waste materials will be placed on a 20-mil
VLDPE liner to prevent contact with unaffected surface soils. The liner will be surrounded by a
earthen berm constructed to prevent rainfall run-on and run-off to and from adjacent areas. A
20-mil VLDPE continuous seamed cover will be placed over staged wastes and soils to limit
absorption of rainfall. This cover will be secured in place over the stockpile.
Activities associated with the removal of Lagoon 10 wastes are summarized in Figure 5.
3.2.2 Vessels
Vessel liquids and solids contents will be separately bulked into appropriate containers for
characterization, transportation.and disposal. Liquids will be removed from vessels and bulked
into existing tanks. The contractor will select a suitable tank based upon tank integrity and
absence of residual materials. If necessary, the tank will be cleaned prior to use. Bulked
liquids will be analyzed for COCs specific to site ground water. Oil will be either absorbed .
utilizing an appropriate solidification media or bulked for transport to an oil reclamation facility.
Solid material from vessel removal activities will be staged in roll-ott containers for
characterization and disposal. The roll-ott containers will be covered to limit absorption of
rainfall. Boiler gaskets will be analyzed for asbestos utilizing polarized light microscopy with
dispersion staining. Empty vessels will be cleaned to remove any visible material prior to
transportation to an appropriate disposal facility. Vessel contents characterized as hazardous
will be transported to a RCRA-permitted facility for disposal. Vessel contents characterized as
non-hazardous will be transported to a permitted non-hazardous facility for disposal. The
proposed disposal facilities for each waste stream will be submitted to US EPA for approval.
Following vessel removal, visibly attected soils will be removed under any vessels which may
have leaked. Soils that have not been visibly affected will not be removed or sampled.
Excavated affected soil will be staged in roll-ott containers and characterized in accordance
with the Field Sampling and Analysis Plan (FSAP) located in Appendix A. Vessel removal
activities are summarized in Figure 6.

3.2.3 Drums
Drums will be collected from their current locations and appropriately staged to facilttate access
and handling. Drums located on the Macon stte will be staged in the clearing west of the vats.
As a means of segregating drums of higher concentrations from those that contain lower
concentrations, we have selected an arbttrary concentration of 100 ppm total organic vapors in
the headspace as the limtt. The contractor will measure total organic vapor concentrations in
the headspace immediately after opening each drum using a hand held organic vapor meter. If
headspace concentrations exceed 100 ppm above background, the drum will be segregated
and consolidated with similar drums. Liquids will be removed from drums and bulked into
existing tanks or other appropriate containers for characterization, transportation, and disposal.
Bulked liquids will be pumped through granular activated carbon fitters, sampled and analyzed
to verify that acceptable levels of stte-related constituents have been achieved, (i.e., site ground
water constttuents of concern), and discharged to the former orchard area at the Lower Macon
site. Solids will be bulked directly into roll-off containers for characterization, transportation, and
disposal. Empty drums that appear to be in good condition may be rinsed and staged on-stte
for use during construction of the proposed extraction wells. Otherwise, empty drums will be
crushed and bulked into roll-off containers with other solid wastes for transportation to the
appropriate disposal faciltty. Based upon prior soil boring and monitoring well sampling
analytical resutts, the drum contents are not expected to be hazardous. Non-hazardous drum
contents and crushed drums will be disposed at a permitted non-hazardous landfill faciltty.
Drums located on the Dockery site will be consolidated and bulked in the clearing at the Upper
Dockery site (Figure 4). Liquids will be collected and transported by a vacuum truck to the
Macon stte for processing with other drum liquids.
Solid material from drum consolidation activtties will be staged in roll-off containers for
characterization and disposal. The roll-off containers will be covered to limit absorption of
rainfall.
Drum removal activtties are summarized in Figure 7.

3.3 Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
Sampling and laboratory analysis will fall into one of two categories: waste characterization or
confirmatory sampling.
3.3.1 Waste Characterization
Lagoon 10
Waste and visibly affected soil excavated from Lagoon 1 O will be sampled and analyzed to
characterize the material. Each segregated waste pile will be sampled for waste
characterization. Samples of waste materials and affected soils will be analyzed for the
parameters required by RCRA-permitted Subtttle C landfill faciltties, which includes TCLP,
volatile and semivolatile organic parameters and metals, flammability, reactivity, and corrosivity.
Other analyses may be pertormed as required by the disposal facilities. Samples will be
collected to characterize the waste in accordance with the FSAP (Appendix A).
Sampling of the soil that is excavated to maintain sidewall stability will be pertormed in the
same manner as that described in Section 3.3.2, Confirmatory Sampling. Samples will be
analyzed for carcinogenic PAHs to verify that these soils meet the 2 ppm Pertormance
Standard established in the ROD and SOW for Lagoon 1 O remediation.
Vessels
The material removed from vessels and affected soils below the vessels will be sampled and
analyzed after bulking to characterize the waste in accordance with the FSAP (Appendix A).
Samples of waste materials and affected soils will be analyzed for the parameters required by
RCRA-permitted Subtitle C landfill facilities, which includes TCLP, volatile and semivolatile
organic parameters and metals, flammability, reactivity, and corrosivtty. Bulked liquids will be
analyzed for COCs specific to site ground water. Other analyses may be pertormed as
required by the disposal faciltties.
Drums
The solid material removed from drums will be sampled and analyzed after bulking to
characterize the waste in accordance with the FSAP (Appendix A). Samples of waste
materials and affected soils will be analyzed for the parameters required by RCRA-permitted

and metals, flammability, reactivity, and corrosivity. Bulked liquids will be analyzed for COCs
specttic to stte ground water following treatment with activated carbon. Other analyses may be
periormed as required by the disposal faciltties.
3.3.2 Confirmatory Sampling
Following waste and vessel removal, sampling will commence as delineated in the Field
Sampling and Analysis Plan (Appendix A) and the Qualtty Assurance/Qualtty Control Plan
(Appendix B).
Lagoon 10
Immunoassay technology will be used to initially screen the soils remaining in the Lagoon 10
excavation for the presence of PAHs after the wastes and visibly affected soils have been
excavated and removed. Immunoassay is a rapid on-stte detection technique utilizing t_he
specific binding abilities of antigens to antibodies. Chromogenic chemistry is used to detect the
reaction. A spectrophotometer compares the color intensity of a standard to that of the
samples to provide a semi-quantttative result. The technique, when applied to PAH screening
of soils, is approved as US EPA Method SW-846 Draft Method 4035. PAH RI&' Ktts
manufactured by EnSys, Inc., which have a 5 ppm PAH detection limtt, will be used to screen
the soils.
Sampling will occur as follows. The lagoon bottom will be divided into six sections, and each
sidewall will be divided into two sections. One sample will be collected for field screening from
the center of each of the 14 sections. The excavated area will remain open after the removal
action to facilitate collection of these samples. If immunoassay field screening detects PAHs
above 5 ppm in a soil sample, additional soil will be excavated in 6-inch lifts from that area and
the remaining soil screened until the PAH concentration is below 5 ppm. Once immunoassay
indicates PAH concentrations are below 5 ppm, a soil sample will be collected from each of the
14 sections and submitted for laboratory analysis using US EPA SW-846 Method 8270.
Confirmation sampling and laboratory analysis will determine whether additional excavation in
Lagoon 10 is warranted. If necessary, additional materials from Lagoon 10 may be excavated

Confirmation sampling and laboratory analysis will determine whether additional excavation in
Lagoon 1 o is warranted. If necessary, additional materials from Lagoon 1 O may be excavated
and the remaining soil resampled until the concentration of total cPAHs is below the
Performance Standard of 2 ppm, or until the excavation reaches a depth of twelve feet below
land surface, as stated in Section 3.2.1. The resutts will be used to provide confirmation that
the waste and affected soil have been satisfactorily removed.
Vessels
Following vessel removal, sampling of visibly affected surface soil (0 to 6 inches below grade)
will be performed to confirm that sufficient soils have been removed under any vessels that
may have leaked. Two confirmatory samples will be collected from the soil below each tank or
tanker having a horizontal surface area of greater than 100 square feet. For vessels with a
horizontal surface area of less than 100 square feet, one sample will be collected from the
visibly affected surface soil below the vessel for confirmatory analysis. In addition, two
confirmatory samples will be collected from the visibly affected surface soil below each vat.
Each soil sample will be analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons-oil and grease (TPH-O&G);
TPH-BTEX (California method); and lead. Consistent with North Carolina Guidelines for the
Investigation and Remediation of Soils and Ground Water, (March 1993), remediation
concentrations for TPH-BTEX will be 10 mg/kg, and TPH-oil and grease will be 250 mg/kg.
The remediation concentration for lead is 500 mg/kg (OSWER Directive
9355.4-02). The vessels will be decontaminated properly using steam cleaning to allow their
acceptance by a recycling disposal faciltty, if appropriate.
If the concentrations of the analytes exceed target concentrations in the soil beneath the
vessels, then additional excavation will be performed until the remaining constituents are less
than the respective target concentrations, or for a maximum of two feet below the bottom of the
vessel.
Drums
Materials generated by investigation activities were placed in either new or reconditioned
drums, which are not expected to have leaked during the relatively short timespan since the
materials were drummed. Soils beneath these drums will not be sampled.

3.4 Transportation
Wastes will be transported to disposal facillties in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations.
The MDSG will obtain necessary approvals from the US EPA and applicable state regulatory agencies
for transportation and disposal of wastes shipped off-site, as required in the SOW. MDSG will notify
US EPA's Project Coordinator in writing regarding proposed disposal arrangements as soon as
practicable after waste characterization.
3.5 Treatment and Disposal
Prior to characterization, drum liquids and any other appropriate liquids (e.g., rainwater accumulated in
vessels) will be bulked into an existing tank on-site and treated using activated carbon drums. If
acceptable, liquids will be discharged to the former orchard area at the Lower Macon Site. The
Performance Standards for ground water treatment will be the criteria used to judge the effectiveness of
carbon filtration treatment of bulked liquids.
Empty vessels will be transported to an appropriate metals reclamation facility after cleaning. Vessels
that are not appropriate to recycle will be dismantled and landfilled as contruction debris after cleaning.
Disposal and treatment methods and locations for site wastes are subject to approval by US EPA in
accordance with the UAO and SOW. With appropriate authorization, non-hazardous construction and
landscaping debris will be disposed of in the local county landfill. Special wastes are wastes that are
not hazardous by regulatory definition but are not acceptable for disposal in the county landfill. Special
wastes will be disposed of in a nearby landfill, such as the BFI -Subtitle D Landfill Facility in Harrisburg
(Charlotte), NC or other appropriate Subtitle D landfill facility. Hazardous wastes will be disposed of in
a RCRA-permitted facility such as the Laidlaw -Pinewood TSD facility in Sumter County, South
Carolina, Chemical Waste Management's TSD facility in Emelle, Alabama, or other appropriate
permitted facility.
Hazardous and nonhazardous waste disposal options and facilities will be fully reviewed and
considered upon receipt of the waste characterization analytical results. The MDSG's general contractor
will provide written notification to the appropriate state environmental official in the receiving state, if the
shipment is hazardous. The MDSG project coordinator will nottty US EPA prior to any shipment of
waste materials to an off-site facility for disposal. US EPA will be given the analytical results, selected

MACON/DOCKERY SITE
Section 1
INTRODUCTION
APRIL 1994
APPENDIX A
The Macon/Dockery Site is located approximately 1.6 miles southwest of Cordova in Richmond County,
North Carolina. The site is bounded to the east by State Road (SR) 1103 and to the north, west, and
south by woods and farmland. The site is officially described as comprising a 16-acre tract owned by
relatives and heirs of Charles Macon, and a one-acre tract owned by John Dockery. The Dockery
property is located approximately 2,600 feet north of the Macon property and is non-contiguous with it.
The Macon property is approximately 60 percent wooded while the Dockery property is almost entirely
wooded. Current land use in the vicinity of the site is primarily agricultural with limited residential use
along SR1103. Residential use increases toward the northeast in the direction of the community of
Cordova. Four residences are located near the site along SR1103. These residences are
hydrogeologically upgradient of the waste management areas. Hunting is the primary activity at the
site.
The tract owned by the relatives and heirs of Charles Macon comprises 40 acres. The tract is bordered
to the south and west by property owned by Federal Paper Board Corporation and to the north by
property owned by Dewey M. Thompson. The tract owned by John Dockery is comprised of 570 acres.
The affected area, including the modeled plume locations, fall within the borders of this tract. Figure 1-
1 is a site location map that shows the locations of the Macon and Dockery properties.
1.1 Background
The Macon property is currently owned by Dorothy Macon, who has owned the property since 1972.
Prior to the mid-1970s, the property was maintained as undeveloped woodlands and pasture. From the
late 1970s until 1980, a waste disposal and oil recycling business was operated on the Macon property.
C&M Oil Distributors leased and operated the oil recycling facility on the Macon property from 1981 to
1982. The Dockery property is currently owned by four members of the Dockery family. During the
time that the Macon property was used as a waste disposal and oil recycling facility, Charles Macon
disposed of and/or stored hazardous substances on this property in unlined surtace impoundments and
drums.

MACON/DOCKERY SITE APPENDIX A
On November 11, 1983, EPA initiated an emergency removal on the Macon Property. Removal
operations on the Dockery Property began on January 9, 1984. Removal activities at both properties
were completed on January 17, 1984. During the course of the removal action, EPA removed
contaminated soils and materials (including over 2,000 drums of hazardous substances) from the entire
site. Some hazardous substances were contained on-site until the initiation of remedial action.
In 1985, EPA conducted a geological and sampling investigation at the Site. The investigation detected
the presence of hazardous substances in ground water and sediment. In January 1987, the Site was
proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List, and in July 1987, pursuant to Section 105 of
CERCLA, EPA placed the Site on the National Priorities List (NPL) .
As a result of the proposed inclusion of the Site on the National Priorities List, and in response to the
release or substantial threat of a release of hazardous substances at or from the Site, a Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the Site was initiated on April 13, 1988. The Remedial
Investigation (RI) Report was completed in February 1991, and the Feasibility Study (FS) Report was
completed in July 1991.
Based on the findings of the RI, performance standards were established for 33 constituents. These
constituents are classified as hazardous substances under 40 CFR 302. Ground water beneath and
hydraulically downgradient of the Site and soil in two former lagoons is contaminated by these
substances. Ground water generally flows in a northwesterly direction at the site.
The US EPA issued its final Record of Decision (ROD), adopted on September 30, 1991 and reissued
on April 21, 1992, which contained the remedy to be implemented at the Site.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the Performance Standard Verification Plan (PSVP) is to develop and provide the
mechanism for verification that performance standards established for the vessel removal and Lagoon
10 waste removal are being met. The Performance Standards Verification Plan consists of two parts:
the Performance Standards Verification Field Sampling and Analysis Plan (PSVFSAP), contained in this
Appendix and the Performance Standards Verification Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan
(PSVQA/QCP) contained in Appendix B.

The purpose of the PSVFSAP is to establish data collection activrties which are compatible with the
remedial objectives tor this project, and to provide a mechanism tor evaluating the effectiveness of the
removal activities. The PSVFSAP provides a description of the data gathering activrties, including
methods, locations, frequency, equipment, and handling and analysis. The PSVONOCP in Appendix B
is submitted along with the PSVFSAP to document qualrty assurance measures that will be utilized.
1.3 Scope
The Scope of this PSVFSAP is based on the following key project documents:
Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (RD/RA)
dated June 18, 1992,
US EPA's Record of Decision (ROD) dated April 21, 1992,
US EPA's Superfund Fact Sheet Update dated March 1994,
RD/RA Statement of Work, and
The Macon/Dockery Srte Workplan for the Removal of Wastes from Lagoon 10,
Vessels, and Drums.
The data collection activities described in Section 3 of this PSVFSAP are designed to address
requirements stated by the US EPA in the Record of Decision and UAO/SOW for vessel
decontamination and removal and Lagoon 1 O waste excavation and removal.

SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
The data gathering and analytical activtties proposed herein have three purposes:
To monttor the performance of source area soil and waste removal actions at Lagoon
10 (Lower Macon Site);
To characterize soils beneath vessels on the Macon/Dockery Site that may potentially
be impacted from site operations; and
To sample and characterize drums on-site that have been filled during site investigation
activities in order to determine proper disposttion of the drum contents.
To sample and characterize boiler gaskets with respect to asbestos content.
The data gathered from these activtties must be of sufficient quantity and quality to allow the
assessment of waste removal activities at Lagoon 10, evaluate selected soils beneath vessels for
potential impact, and determine the appropriate disposal method(s) for drummed waste materials
generated during previous site investigations.

Section 3
PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION SAMPLING
Performance verification sampling will fall into one of two categories: waste characterization or
confirmatory sampling. Sampling strategies are presented in the following chapter. Methodologies and
equipment needs for sampling are presented in Section 5 of this PSVFSAP.
3.1 Waste Characterization
3.1.1 Lagoon 10
Segregated waste and visibly-affected soils excavated from Lagoon 1 0 will be sampled and
analyzed to characterize the material. Waste and soil piles will be created by segregating
materials excavated from Lagoon 10. These piles may include overburden, waste (crushed
drums, debris, oily waste, and creosote waste), sidewall and affected soils. Segregation of the
soils/wastes will be based on visual inspection by the responsible field engineer in conjunction
with the removal contractor.
The method of probabiltty sampling that will be used to characterize the staged segregated
materials is discussed in SW-846. Sample locations will be determined by the systematic
random method. Systematic random sampling will be used to determine the sample locations
in each of the removed and segregated soil/waste stockpiles that result from excavation of this
area. The composited sample will consist of four aliquots taken at equidistant points on two
perpendicular transects through each soil/waste stockpile. If a stockpile contains more than
approximately 150 cubic yards, then a separate composite sample will be collected in the same
manner and analyzed for characterization of that volume of soil/waste. Additional composite
samples will be collected from these stockpiles and will be refrigerated and maintained up to
the maximum allowable holding times in case further analysis and characterization is
determined to be required.
The volume of each segregated stockpile will be estimated based on field measurements. For
each stockpile or a maximum 150 cubic yards of removed soil materials, one composite sample
will be collected and analyzed by TCLP for volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic
compounds and metals. Additional analysis parameters will be required to comply with landfill

requirements. These may include flashpoint, reactive cyanides, reactive sulfides, pH, EPA paint
filter test, PCBs, pesticides, and herbicides.
3.1.2 Vessels
Following removal of material from the vessels and excavation of visibly-affected soils from
beneath the vessels, the soils/wastes will be containerized in roll-off containers. Soil/wastes will
be characterized for disposal.
The method of probability sampling that will be used to characterize the staged segregated
materials is discussed in SW-846. Sample locations will be determined by the systematic
random method. Systematic random sampling will be used to determine the sample locations
in each of the roll-offs that result from this area. The composited sample will consist of four
aliquots taken at equidistant points on two perpendicular transects through each container.
Additional composite samples will be collected from these containers and will be refrigerated
and maintained up to the maximum allowable holding times in case further analysis and
characterization is determined to be required.
For each roll-off, one composite sample will be collected and analyzed by TCLP for volatile
organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, and metals. Additional analysis
parameters will be required to comply with local Subtitle D landfill requirements. These may
include flashpoint, reactive cyanides, reactive sulfides, pH, EPA paint filter test, PCBs,
pesticides, and herbicides.
3.1.3 Drums
Drums located on site contain soil cuttings, decontamination fluids, development water
generated during the installation of site monitoring wells, and discarded protective clothing.
Liquids contained in drums at the Stte will be transferred to existing tanks or other appropriate
containers. Following treatment of the liquids with activated carbon, the liquids will be sampled
and analyzed for the list of ground water constttuents of concern. If pertormance standards are
met, the treated liquids will be discharged to the former orchard area at the Lower Macon Stte.

Drums containing solids/soil cuttings will be opened and bulked directly into roll-off containers.
Composite samples from these containers will be analyzed by TCLP for volatile organic
compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, and metals. Additional analysis parameters will
be required to comply wtth landfill requirements. These may include flashpoint, reactive
cyanides, reactive suttides, pH, EPA paint filter test, PCBs, pesticides, and herbicides. If
appropriate, solids from the drum consolidation may be combined wtth excavated soils from
either Lagoon 1 O or the vessel area.
3.1.4 Boiler Gaskets
A representative sample will be collected from each boiler gasket to be removed from boilers at
the Macon/Dockery Site. Samples will be collected by EPA-accredited asbestos sampling
personnel. Gasket samples will be wetted with detergent-amended water and sealed in airtight
containers for storage prior to analysis.
Sampling for Excavation Verification
3.2.1 Lagoon 1 O
Sampling for verification of excavation will involve the use of field screening methodologies in
conjunction with standard confirmation sampling and analysis.
Following excavation of the visibly-affected soils/wastes from Lagoon 10, verification sampling
will be conducted in the bottom and sidewalls of each excavation. The lagoon bottom will be
divided into six equal sections, and each sidewall will be divided into two sections. One
confirmatory sample will be collected from the center of each of the 14 sections and initially
field screened for total Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) using· immunoassay
methodologies to indicate the need for additional excavation. Following achievement of a field
screening result of <5 ppm total PAHs; confirmational soil samples will be collected as
described above from the excavation bottom and sidewalls and sent to the laboratory for total
carcinogenic PAH analysis by GC.
3.2.2 Vessels
Following excavation of the visibly-affected soils/wastes from beneath the vessels remaining on-
site, verification sampling will, at a minimum, be conducted in the bottom of each excavation.

Section 4
SAMPLE DESIGNATION, CONTROL, FIELD RECORDS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS
This section presents procedures for sample control, field records, and photographs. Sample control
includes sample identification and chain-of-custody procedures.
4.1 Sample Designation
Sample identttication numbers will be included on both the chain-of-custody forms and sample
containers. Duplicate samples will be given unique sample identification numbers which will be noted in
the field book. Sets of containers shipped together will be assigned a chain-of-custody form which will
travel wtth the sample containers. A copy of the chain-of-custody form with tts assigned sample
numbers will be kept in the laboratory to help identify samples which might become separated from the
discrete sample delivery group.
4.2 Chain-of-Custody Procedures
By the use of chain-of-custody procedures, the handling of samples will be traceable from the time of
collection to the time of final sample disposttion. Field personnel will record the sample number, date
and time of sample collection, personnel involved, type of sample, type of analyses to be performed,
type of containers filled, volume of sample collected, and preservatives used. In situ measurements
(e.g., pH, temperature) will be recorded in the sampling team's field notes.
Chain-of-custody forms will accompany sample containers to document the transfer of the containers
and samples from the originating laboratory, through the field collection, and to the laboratory receiving
the samples for analyses. A sample container is under custody in the field if the following conditions
exist:
It is in the field investigator's actual possession;
It is in the field investigator's view, after being in his/her physical possession;
It was in the field investigator's physical possession and then she/he secured tt to
prevent tampering.
Chain-of-custody procedures are further discussed in Section 5 of the PSVQA/QCP.

Section 5
SAMPLING EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
Samples are collected to obtain a representative portion of the material or medium being sampled.
Valid results depend on the following:
Obtaining samples that are as representative as possible of the material or medium
being sampled;
Using proper sampling, sample handling, and preservation techniques;
Identifying the collected samples and documenting their collection in permanent field
records;
Maintaining sample chain-of-custody procedures: and
Protecting the collected samples by properly packing and transporting them to a
laboratory for analysis.
5.1 General Considerations
The following factors and procedures will be considered and/or implemented in planning and conducting
sampling operations. These factors and procedures will be considered in view of the specific objectives
and scope of the field investigation, as presented in this PSVFSAP and the PSVQA/QCP.
Safety of sampling personnel.
Selection of representative sampling sites.
Selection and proper preparation of sampling equipment.
Selection of parameters to be measured and evaluation of sample fractions to be
analyzed (e.g., dissolved, suspended or total fractions for water samples).
Required sample volumes.
Selection and proper preparation of sample containers.
Sample preservation.
Sample holding times.
Sample handling and mixing.

5.2 Terminology
Sampling terminology is defined as follows:
Grab Sample
A grab sample is an individual sample taken from one point in space at essentially one
point in time.
Composite Samples
Timed Composite -A compostte sample containing a series of discrete sample
aliquots taken at recorded intervals over the compostting period.
Flow Proportional Composite -A sample containing a series of discrete sample
aliquots taken proportionally to the flow rate over the compostting period.
Areal Composite -A sample compostted from individual grab sample aliquots collected
over an area or in a cross-section. The grab sample aliquots will be of equal volume
and shall be collected in an identical manner.
Split Samples
A split sample is a sample which has been divided into two or more samples.
Adequate mixing will be performed such that the two portions of a split sample are, for
all practical purposes, identical. US EPA or its designee may from time to time desire
to obtain split samples. US EPA is expected to provide their own containers for
collection and shipping of samples. This procedure is appropriate for analysis of
semivolatile organic compounds and inorganic constituents. Volatile organic samples
need to be collected as discrete, grab samples.
Duplicate Samples
Duplicate samples are samples collected simultaneously from the same source under
identical conditions into separate containers.
Control or Background Samples
Background or control samples are collected in an area known or thought to be free
from the constituents of concern.

Sample Aliquot
A sample aliquot is a portion ol a sample that is representative ol the entire sample.
Trip Blank
A trip blank is a set ol sample bottles, lilied with organic-tree water, that accompanies the empty sample bottles to the lield and returns to the laboratory wtth the collected samples. The trip bla_nk is used as a quality control check for the presence of volatile organics that might contaminate the samples.
Field Blank
A lield blank is a set of sample bottles that are filled wtth organic-free, deionized water in the field. The organic-tree, deionized water is handled in the same manner as the sample. Field blanks contain the same preservatives as the samples. Field blanks should be collected in dusty environments and/or if volatile organic compounds are present in the atmosphere that do not originate from the sample source.
Rlnsate Blank
A rinsate blank is a sample of organic-free, deionized water that has been passed across the sur1ace of sampling equipment after the equipment has been decontaminated. The rinsate blank is used to check for the effectiveness of the field decontamination procedure between samples. One rinsate blank will be collected at random from each type sampling equipment (weekly) used during the soil sampling program. The rinsate blank sample analysis will be comparable to the analysis being performed on the soil sample.
Decontamination Procedures
Proper decontamination of sampling equipment is essential to_ minimize the possibility ol cross
contamination of samples. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated belore sampling and between
the collection of each sample, unless samples are to be composited. Sampling equipment will be
decontaminated wtth materials specttied in the ESBSOPQAM and according to the following
procedures:
I Stee I Procedure I
1 . Clean with tap water and laboratory detergent using a brush, if necessary, to remove particulate matter and surface films.
2. Rinse thoroughly with tap water.
3. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water.
4. Rinse twice with pesticide grade isopropanol.
5. Rinse thoroughly with organic-tree water and allow to air drv.
6. Wrap with plastic or aluminum foil to minimize the possibility of contamination if equipment is going to be stored or transported.

Larger equipment such as drilling and/or backhoe equipment will be steam cleaned prior to inttiating the
field investigation. During construction, drilling equipment such as drill augers and btts and sampling
equipment such as spltt barrel samplers and drill rods will be decontaminated according to the
procedure described above. Following decontamination, drilling augers, bits, split barrel samplers and
rods will be wrapped in plastic or aluminum foil between borings. This includes transport from the
decontamination area and temporary storage while awatting use.
5.4 Surface Soll Sampling
Equipment and sampling techniques will not cause the integrity of the sample to be compromised and
will provide a sample which is representative of the medium being sampled.
5.5
5.4.1 Sampling Equipment and Techniques
Surficial soil will be collected wtthin the first 6 inches below land surface. Prior to sampling,
grass and surface debris will be removed from the sampling location. Technicians will collect
the samples using stainless steel scoops (EPA 600/2-80-018). The sample containers will be
filled directly from the scoop if sufficient material is collected in one scoop. If a single scoop
does not provide sufficient quantities of material for the required chemical analyses, several
scoops will be composited by thoroughly mixing, as per the ESBSOPOAM, in a decontaminated
stainless steel or glass holding vessel.
5.4.2 Sampling Equipment QA Procedures
The choice of sampling equipment and techniques will be reviewed to see that the methods
provide representative samples of the media being sampled and that materials and procedures
are appropriate for sampling the constituents of interest. Equipment will be inspected, tested,
and, if necessary, repaired before being issued for each field investigation.
Subsurface Sampling
Subsurface soil samples will be collected at two subsurface intervals, 6 to 12 inches and 18 inches to 2
feet. The samples will be collected wtth a stainless steel hand auger bucket. Sample containers will be
filled directly from the hand auger. Stainless steel scoops will be used to facilitate container filling. If
necessary samples will be composited, as per the ESBSOPQAM, in a decontaminated stainless steel

Section 6
SAMPLE HANDLING AND ANALYSIS
This section presents general sample handling and analysis methods. Additional information is
contained in the PSVQA/QCP.
6.1 Sample Containers and Shipping
Sample containers, preservation methods and holding times that meet EPA standards will be used.
New containers will be used. Water samples for volatile organic analyses will be acidified prior to
sample collection. Samples will be checked for pH in the field and when they arrive in the laboratory.
Additional preservatives will be added tt the pH requirements for preservation are not met. These
procedures will be documented on the chain-of-custody form for the samples.
Sample contain~r requirements of solid and liquid samples intended for chemical analyses are
summarized in the PSVQA/QCP. Samples collected from different media that are intended for organic
analyses will be collected in the appropriate container. The sample container will be filled completely to
minimize air space. Soil samples intended only for physical testing (e.g. grain size) will be placed in
clean glass jars (minimum 8 oz. volume). Two jars will be filled from each sample whenever sufficient
sample volumes are available.
For delivery of samples to the laboratory, the following procedure will be implemented:
I Step I Procedure I
1. Collect, preserve and place custody seals on the samples as-outlined in this PSVFSAP.
2. Place sample containers in laboratory shipping container(s). Samples will be sealed
inside ziplock containers and double-wrapped with bubble wrap to protect the containers
from accidental breakage during shipment and so that the samples do not leak or spill.
3. If samples must be chilled, either blue ice or watertight bags supplied by the lab will be
filled with enough ice to last the trip. In cases where natural ice is used, RMT will place
the sealed bags on the sample bottles. This step will prevent leakage of the ice as tt
thaws.
4. Complete the chain-of-custody forms as described in Section 4.2 of the FSAP.

whenever required by short holding times or project schedules.
Responsibiltty for proper use of containers and preservatives is the· duty of the MDSG on-stte
representative and the Project Laboratory Coordinator.
6.2 Selection of Parameters
The list of parameters has been provided in Section 3 of this PSVFSAP. The number and locations of
samples are also specified in Section 3 of the PSVFSAP.

FIELD PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS
Field measurements of topographic features and physical measurements are frequently required on
field investigations. The scope of such measurements depends upon the purpose of the particular
investigation. It is not anticipated that surveying will be conducted for any aspect of the removal action
described in this workplan. However, the information included in this section is provided in case
surveying relative to excavations becomes necessary.
Physical measurements should be traceable to the actual person making the measurement and to the
actual piece of field equipment used to make that measurement. Equipment maintenance and
calibration records will be kept in log books and field records, making all such procedures traceable.
Time records will be kept using local time in the 2400 hour military format, recorded to the nearest five
minutes.
Locations sampled during the removal activities will be surveyed and depicted on a scaled drawing,
topographic or other standard map, or be referenced in such a manner that their location(s) are firmly
established. Surveying will be conducted according to procedures described below and in McCormac
(1976).
7.1 Site Mapping
Accurate, complete, and informative field notes in surveying is a primary objective in site mapping. The
qualrty of the final output is a reflection of the field record. The field notes are the only reliable record
of measurements made and information gathered in the field. Information gathered will be recorded in
the field on bound field notebooks. Notes will be permanent, legible, and complete.
Field notes will be recorded in the field with a waterproof ink pen. Records will not be made on scratch
paper and copied later, or based on other information recorded from memory. Also, mistakes in field
notes will be crossed out, inrtialed, and dated. Notes recorded during site mapping will follow the
guidelines presented in Section 4.3.

The field notes will accomplish the following:
Provide adequ'ate and complete information which can be understood by someone
other than the note-taker.
Provide professional documentation of work done or data gathered.
The surveyor is encouraged to use notebook space liberally in recording necessary data. Explanatory
remarks are encouraged to clarify the field procedures and provide added details. Field sketches are
also very useful and should be used freely. Two important aspects of each survey to be addressed in
the field notes include:
Starting and Ending Basis of the Survey -The surveyor will explain and document
the starting and ending points of his survey. This applies to both the horizontal and
vertical controls. This will require a paragraph of explanation and sketches and/or
cross references to data in notes of previous surveys.
Clear Indication of Final Results and Checking Procedures -The final rl_lsults and
checks will be plainly indicated. Erasures shall not be used as they raise uncertainties
about the reliabi\ijy of the data. Alterations, additions, revisions, reductions, or
comments added to field notes should be written in colored ink or pencil (usually red) to
indicate that such information is not part of the original field record. The person making
such notations will initial and date each page so affected.
A checklist of information to include in the field notes follows:
Date.
Names of crew members.
Condition of weather, observed temperatures, relative wind speed, and barometric
pressure if an EDM is to be used.
Equipment used, listing the serial number or other identification.
Location of survey by section description or other legal parcel identification.

Ground Elevation Surveys {Vertical Control)
The elevation of the measuring point of wells and a reference point on staff gages will be surveyed to
allow correlation of water levels. Additionally, ground elevations may be required for topographic
purposes. Standard engineering leveling techniques, as described in basic surveying textbooks,
establish the methodology for providing vertical control. The datum referenced for elevation control is
the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), informally known as 1929 sea level datum, established
by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Bench marks of known elevation should be used. If no bench
mark is located in the vicintty of a site investigation, an arbttrary temporary bench mark should be
established on a permanent location (i.e., bridge wingwall, foundation, or corner post). The location of
bench marks utilized shall be shown on the site sketch map. Elevation surveys will be conducted to
form a circutt; for example, the survey line should close back to a bench mark. Third order accuracy
should be obtained on level circuits; for example, on a one-mile circuit, the closure should be wtthin
0.05 foot. Length of sight will not ordinarily exceed 250 feet, with turning point back shots and fore
shots deviating no more than 50 feet from one another .

DATA REDUCTION, VALIDATION, AND REPORTING
This section establishes the procedure for data reduction, validation, and reporting for field and
laboratory measurements. Established techniques will be employed for data reduction and validation.
The method used for data reduction and validation will be documented for each technique. Where
possible, written procedures or instructions will accompany the data or be specttically ctted. the Quality
Assurance Reviewers will be responsible for determining that data reduction, validation, and reporting
methods follow the approved procedures. The reviewers will see that corrective actions are
implemented, as needed.
9.1 Industrial Hygiene
The Contractor's Safety Officer or his designee will be responsible for recording and reducing the air
monitoring data. Data will be validated by the Site Safety Officer in a timely manner to minimize the
risk to the health and safety of on-stte workers. Action required in response to the data will be
coordinated wtth MDSG's on-stte representative.
Air monitoring instruments will be used on-stte to document the air quality and form the basis for
changing the level of protection required by on-stte staff. The data will be incorporated in the project
files and summarized in progress reports by the Contractor's Stte Safety Officer.
9.2 Laboratory
Analytical data produced during site investigation will be reduced, validated, and reported using the
procedures found in the PSVQA/QCP.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
APRIL 1994
SECTION 1
The Performance Standards Verification Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan (PSVQA/QCP)
presented in this document has been prepared to address the Remedial Action (RA) for the former
Lagoon 10, soil characterization near existing vessels, and disposal of investigation-derived wastes at
the Macon/Dockery Site, located near Cordova, North Carolina. It has been prepared in accordance
with US EPA's, Interim Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing Quality Assurance Project Plans,
(QAM-005/80, December 29, 1980). This PSVQA/QCP is provided as supporting documentation for the
Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) for the Lagoon 10 remediation at the Macon/Dockery Site.
Applicable sampling/monitoring schedules and detailed procedures for sample collection, sample
numbers, and locations are given in the Performance Standards Verification Field Sampling and
Analysis Plan (PSVFSAP) for Lagoon 10 remediation, soil characterization near existing vessels, and
disposal of wastes generated during site investigation/remediation activities.
1.1 Document Objective
The objective of this PSVQA/QCP is to outline specijic procedures that will be implemented to ensure
and control the quality and integrity of sample collection and analysis during the course of the RA
process. This PSVQA/QCP also establishes QA/QC procedu(es for field notes, data transcription, and
data archival.
1.2 Criteria for Evaluating Data In Terms of RA Objectives
The data collected in association with remedial activities at Lagoon 1 O will be used to evaluate progress
toward meeting the Performance Standard set forth in the Record of Decision (ROD) for Lagoon 10.
The analy1ical data will be evaluated in terms of the Performance Standard.
Data collected from wastes generated during site investigations and now stored in drums on-site will be
used to determine appropriate disposal activities for these wastes. The data will be evaluated in terms
of criteria established by the appropriate disposal facility (e.g., POTW for decontamination fluids; landfill
acceptance criteria for drill cuttings and soils).

MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 1
Data from soils collected at existing vessels will be used to characterize potential impact from site
operations. These data will be evaluated in terms of site background data, site historical data, existing
Performance Standards, and potential environmental/health risks.
1.3 Data Quality Objectives
Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) are qualttative and quantitative statements which specify the quality of
the data required to support decisions made during RD/RA activities and are based on the end uses of
the data to be collected. As such, different data uses may require different levels of data quality.
There are five analytical levels which address various data uses and the QA/QC effort and methods
required to achieve the desired level of qualtty. These levels are as follows.
Screening (DQO Level 1 ): This provides the lowest data qualtty but the most rapid
results. It is often used for health and safety monitoring at the site, preliminary
comparison to Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs), initial
stte characterization to locate areas for subsequent and more accurate analyses, and
for engineering screening of alternatives (bench-scale tests). These types of data
include those generated on-stte through the use of Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA), pH,
conductivity, and other real-time monitoring equipment at the site.
Field Analyses (DQO Level 2): This provides rapid results and better quality than in
Level 1. This level may include mobile lab-generated data depending on the level of
quality control exercised. This level would address, for example, the field analysis of
polyaromatic hydrocarbons using immunoassay techniques.
Engineering and Performance Standards Verification (DQO Level 3): This provides an
acceptable level of data quality and is used for site characterization. Engineering and
Performance Standards Verification analyses may include analytical lab methods for
addressing such issues as scaling, corrosion, treatability, or other such engineering
concerns, as well as verification analyses conducted during the operation of the
remediation system. These analyses would be conducted using EPA SW-846 methods,
where applicable. The RA and long-term monitoring is expected to be conducted
primarily at this level.
Confirmational (DQO Level 4): This provides the highest level of data quality and is
used for purposes of risk assessment, evaluation of remedial alternatives and PRP
determination. These analyses require full Contract Laboratory Program (CLP)
analytical and data validation procedures in accordance with EPA recognized protocol.
Non standard (DQO Level 5): This refers to analyses by non standard and protocols
(e.g., when lower detection limits or extraction and analysis of an unusual chemical
compound is required). These analyses often require method development or
adaptation. The level of quality control is usually similar to DQO Level 4 data. No
DQO Level 5 analyses are planned or anticipated.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS VERIFICATION QUALITY ASSURANCE OBJECTIVES
FOR MEASUREMENT DATA
Data quality requirements are based on the intended use of the data, the measurement process, and
the availability of resources. Data quality requirements include detection limits, accuracy, and precision
Qualhy Assurance protocols for the analytical methods to be used and the analyses to be conducted.
Specific guidelines for accuracy, precision, completeness, and representativeness are discussed in the
following subsections. Field blanks, trip blanks, decontamination evaluation (i.e., "rinsate") blanks, and
field duplicates described in Section 11 of this QA/QC Plan will be subjected to the same Quality
Assurance objectives as samples.
3.1 Accuracy
Accuracy is defined as the degree of agreement of a measurement or average of measurements with
an accepted reference or true value. The project-specific QA objectives established for accuracy are
expressed in the following paragraphs.
3.1.1 Reference Materials
Reference materials used as calibration standards or surrogate compounds will be certttied,
commercially available materials.
3.1.2 Instrument Performance
Instruments used in this project will be checked each day that samples are analyzed to
demonstrate instrument pertormance. The QA objectives for instrument sensitivity, calibration,
and pertormance are established in US EPA CLP, other US EPA protocols (e.g., SW-846), or
other analytical procedures referred to in Section 9 of this QA/QC Plan.
3.1.3 Recovery of Surrogates
Surrogate compound recovery is utilized to evaluate proper pertormance of the analytical
method and/or possible matrix interterence to the analytical method for organic compounds.

3.2
The recovery of a surrogate compound (S) added to a sample will be defined as follows:
Recovery % = µg S found in sample x 100 µg S added to sample
This equation assumes that the surrogate is not present in the sample. The objectives for
recovery of surrogates from water and soil matrices, where applicable, are given in the
analytical methods listed in Section 9 of this QA/QC plan.
3.1.4 Recovery of Analytes
The recovery of analytes from soil and liquid samples will be evaluated using matrix spikes.
Representative analytes will be added ("spiked") into soil samples. Soil and water matrix spikes
and matrix spike duplicates will be pertormed, where applicable, at the frequency specified in
the analytical methods listed in Section 9 of this QA/QC Plan. The spike recovery of an analyte
(X) will be defined as follows:
Spike Recovery (%) = (µg X found in spiked sample-µg X in native sample) x 1 OO¾
µg X added to sample
Spike recovery data is used to check for possible sample matrix interterences. The objectives
for spike recovery are given in the applicable analytical methods.
Precision
Precision is defined as a measure of mutual agreement among individual measurements of a sample
property. The project QA objectives established for precision are expressed in the following
parameters.
3.2.1 Analysis of Standards
One of the QA objectives for this project is that each inttial calibration curve and subsequent
(i.e., "continuing") calibration standards meet or exceed the minimum QA criteria established in
the applicable analytical methods.

3.2.2 Analysis of Spiked Samples
A second QA objective tor this project is that the results of spiked samples (i.e., matrix spikes)
and spiked sample duplicates (i.e., matrix spike duplicates) be within the advisable recovery
and Relative Percent Difference (RPO) limits specified in the applicable analytical methods
listed in Section 9 of this document.
3.2.3 Analysis of Duplicate Samples
A third QA objective tor this project is that analyte concentrations be comparable within
duplicate samples. This includes 1) duplicate samples collected in the field, 2) duplicate
analyses resutting from matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples, and 3) results
generated from multiple analyses of a sample performed at the laboratory.
A measure of precision is RPO of two analyses of the same sample. This measure is applied
as a quality control criterion to the recovery of organic matrix spike compounds. RPO is
defined as follows:
RPO~ !First Analysis Value -Second Analysis Value!
(First Analysis Value + Second Analysis Value)/2 X 100%
RPO criteria for organic matrix spike compounds are given in the applicable analytical methods.
Completeness
The QA completeness objective for this program is to obtain analytical results for at least 95 percent of
the samples submitted for analyses.
3.4 Representativeness
Sampling sites, sampling frequency, sample preservation, sampling procedures, and sampling
equipment will be addressed in the site-specific sampling and analysis plan to obtain representative
samples.

3.5 Comparability
Comparability expresses the confidence with which one data set can be compared wtth another. The
extent to which existing and planned analytical data will be comparable depends on the similarity of
sampling and analytical methods. The procedures used to obtain the planned analytical data, as
documented in the QA/QC Plan, are expected to provide comparable data. These new analytical data,
however, may not be directly comparable to existing data because of differences in procedures and QA
objectives.
Data acquired for different purposes using different analytical methods, or different DQOs, may not be
directly comparable. Samples analyzed using CLP (DQO Level 4) protocols are expected to be
comparable. Comparison of data between DQO Level 4 (CLP) and DQO Level 3 (e.g., SW-846) should
be possible. Method detection/reporting for US EPA SW-846 methods should be similar to those of the
CLP protocol.
3.6 Field Measurement Data
Precision and accuracy for field pH and conductivity are dependent on the type and condition of the
instrument used and the care used in standardization and operation of that instrument. The precision
and accuracy objectives for the instrumentation used are as follows.
The pH precision will be ±0.3 pH standard untts and an accuracy of ±0.3 pH standard
units. Field pH measurements will be reported to the nearest 0.1 standard unit.
Conductivity precision will be ±3 µmhos/cm on the 500 µmhos/cm range, 25 µmhos/cm
on the 5,000 µmhos/cm range and 250 µmhos/cm on the 50,000 µmhos/cm range.
Accuracy for conductivity measurements are a function of the conductivity reading for
the probe and instrument combined.

SAMPLING PROCEDURES
APRIL 1994
SECTION 4
Sample container, preservation procedures and holding time requirements are presented in Tables 4-1
and 4-2. Precleaned sample containers will be obtained from sample bottle suppliers, such as I-Chem
Research, Inc., and Eagle-Picher Environmental Services. The preparation of sample bottles (e.g.,
preservative added) will be documented.
Detailed procedures for sample collection, number, and location are given in the PSVFSAP. The
collection of blanks, duplicate samples, and spike samples will be discussed in Section 11 of this
PSVQNQCP.
When samples requiring preservation by either acid (except samples for volatile organic compound
analysis) or base are received at the laboratory, the pH will be measured and documented. The pH will
be adjusted by the Laboratory Sample Custodian, if necessary, and the Laboratory Coordinator will be
promptly notttied of the pH adjustment so that sample collection procedures can be reviewed to
determine tt a modification is necessary. The Laboratory Sample Custodian will then store the sample
in a secure sample storage cooler maintained at 4°C and maintain custody until the sample is
discarded.

SAMPLE CUSTODY
APRIL 1994
SECTION 5
The field technician pertorming sample collection activtties will be responsible for sample custody in the
field. The laboratory sample custodian and analysts will be responsible tor custody of the sample at the
laboratory.
5.1 Field Chain-of-Custody
Prior to collecting samples in the field, the Field Sampling Technicians will obtain the sample bottles
necessary for the field operation. Field samplers will label each sample collected, filling in the
appropriate information in waterproof ink. The field sampler will be responsible for collecting the
samples and tor logging the samples into assigned field notebooks. Chain-of-Custody forms will
accompany sample containers to document the transfer of the containers from field collection, through
shipping to the laboratory, and receipt by the laboratory. A sample container is under custody in the
field tt one of the following condttions exists:
It is in the field investigator's actual possession,
It is in the field investigator's view after being in his/her physical possession,
It is in the field investigator's physical possession and then he/she secured tt to prevent
tampering, or
It is in a secure area restricted to authorized personnel only.
The field sampling technicians will complete and vertty the Chain-of-Custody forms (an example Chain-
ot-Custody form is included as Figure 5-1 ). A copy of the Chain-of-Custody will be placed in the project
tiles and the original will accompany the shipped samples. Overnight carrier shipping label numbers
will be included on the Chain-of-Custody form at the bottom along with the company name of the
carrier. The identity of field duplicate samples will not be disclosed to the Analytical Laboratory.
Sample analysis request forms, such as those shown in Figure 5-2, 5-3, and 5-4, will be prepared by
the Laboratory Coordinator, or prepared by a Field Technician and reviewed by the Laboratory
Coordinator. The analytical request forms will accompany samples, or precede delivery of samples, to
the laboratory. A Sample Receipt Acknowledgement form used to document samples received by the
laboratory will be reviewed by the Laboratory Coordinator and placed in the project files.

5.2 Transfer of Custody
APRIL 1994
SECTION 5
Shipping containers will be sealed and accompanied by the Chain-of-Custody record, with appropriate
signatures. The transfer of custody is the responsibility of the Field Sampling Technicians and the
laboratory.
5.3 Laboratory Custody Procedures
In the laboratory, a sample custodian will be assigned to receive the samples. Upon receipt of a
sample, the custodian will inspect the condition of the samples. reconcile the sample(s) received
against the Chain-of-Custody record, log in the sample(s) in the laboratory log book, and store the
sample(s) in a secured sample storage room or cabinet until assigned to an analyst for analysis.
The sample custodian will inspect the sample for any leakage from the container. A leaky multiphase
sample will not be accepted for analysis as this sample would no longer be a representative sample.
The custodian will examine whether the sample bottle seals are intact or broken. The Laboratory
Coordinator will be promptly notified of broken seals so that appropriate action may be taken (e.g.,
collect another sample).
Discrepancies observed between the samples received, the information that is on the Chain-of-Custody
record, and the sample analysis request sheet will be resolved before the sample is assigned for
analysis. The Laboratory Coordinator will be informed of any such discrepancy as well as its resolution.
Results of the inspection will be documented in the laboratory sample log book. Discrepancies will be
documented in the analytical case narrative, as appropriate.
5.4 Sample Labels and Custody Seals
A self-adhesive sample label will be affixed to each sample bottle before sample collection. An
example sample label is shown in Figure 5-5. At a minimum, the sample label will contain the
following:
Client -Job name/project number,
Sample identification,
Date and time collected (except for duplicate samples),
Sampler's signature (or initials), and
Preservatives added.
After the sample is collected and the lid placed on the sample container, a custody seal, such as the
one shown in Figure 5-6, will be placed over the lid.

Information pertinent to the soil and ground water investigation will be recorded in field log books. Field
log books will be bound. with consecutively numbered pages. The pages will be dated and signed by
the person who is recording the information. Unused space at the bottom of a page will be crossed
through. Work sketches or phrases that are recorded but deemed incorrect will be marked through in
such a way as to still be legible, yet obviously struck from the text. Mark-throughs will be initialed and
dated by the person striking the item.
Persons leading a sampling team or performing a distinct task will be issued a field log book by the
Project Coordinator. That person will maintain the log book during the Remedial Investigation (RI). At
the conclusion of the various phases of the RI, the field books will be collected and reviewed by the
Project Coordinator.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES AND FREQUENCY
8.1 Laboratory Calibration
The calibration procedures to be used for this project are summarized below and will follow US EPA
CLP. US EPA SW-846, or other applicable methodologies specttied in Section 9 of this PSVQA/QCP
and the associated PSVFSAP.
8.2
8.1.1 Instrument Performance and Tune
Prior to analysis of each set of samples and on a daily basis during the analysis, It will be
demonstrated that the instrument meets the operating performance standards established in the
appropriate analytical method. If an instrument does not meet the performance standards it will
be tuned until the performance criteria are achieved.
8.1.2 Calibration Curve
For analyses of Target Compound List (TCL) and Target Analyte List (TAL) components,
instruments will be calibrated prior to the analysis of each batch of samples by analyzing known
mixtures of the group of compounds under study as required by the appropriate analytical
protocol. Instrument calibration will be verified daily as prescribed in the applicable protocols.
A new calibration curve will be established tt the response observed in the analysis of the
continuing calibration check standard varies outside of prescribed protocol limits.
Field Calibration
In addition to the laboratory analyses conducted during the course of this investigation, field
measurements of pH, specific conductance, and temperature may be taken for water samples. The
frequency of field calibration procedures will, at a minimum, include the following.
The pH meter will be calibrated and the specific conductance meter will be
standardized a minimum of twice daily and documented in the calibrator's field book.
The pH meters will be calibrated using specific techniques according to the
manufacturer's instructions and two standard buffer solutions (either 4.0, 7.0, or 10.0).

ANALYTICAL METHODS
This section describes the analytical methods to be used during the supplemental site investigation as
required by the ROD.
9.1 Laboratory Analyses
Soils collected in association with stte activities involving the removal of vessels will be analyzed for
TAL constituents and the volatile and semivolatile organic compounds included in the TCL. These soils
will be analyzed following procedures contained in the March 1990 US EPA CLP Statements of Work
(SOW) for Organics and lnorganics. The TCL volatile and semivolatile analytes, along with their
quantitation limits, are presented in Tables 9-1 and 9-2, respectively. TAL analytes are presented in
Table 9-3 along with their respective quantitation limits.
Soil samples collected in association wtth remedial activtties at Lagoon 10 will be analyzed for
carcinogenic Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) using US EPA SW-846 Method 8270. The
carcinogenic PAHs and the method quantitation limit are listed in Table 9-4.
Waste solids and liquids generated during stte investigations will be analyzed as required for their
proper disposal. Anticipated laboratory preparations and analyses include the following:
Leaching of sample via the TCLP, US EPA SW-846 Method 1311;
SW-846 Method 6010 and/or SW-846 series 7000 Methods will be used for analysis of
metals on the TCLP list; and
SW-846 Methods 8260 and 8270 will be used for analysis of volatile and semivolatile
organic compounds, respectively, that are on the TCLP list.
Consistent with the North Carolina Guidelines for Investigation and Remediation of Soils
and Ground Water (March 1993), TPH-BTEX will be analyzed using a modification of
US EPA method 8015 and TPH-oil and grease will be analyzed using US EPA method
9071.
If additional analyses are required for disposal, US EPA analytical methods (e.g., SW-846) will be used

DATA REPORTING, VALIDATION, AND REDUCTION
APRIL 1994
SECTION 10
Data validation practices will be followed to ensure that raw data are not altered and that an audit trail
is developed for data which require reduction. Field data, such as those generated during field
measurements, will be entered directly into a bound field notebook. Project team members will be
responsible for proofing data transfers.
The Laboratory Quality Assurance Officer will validate the laboratory analytical data before tt is
released. This effort will include an inspection to determine if the data meet the QA/QC criteria
specified in each analytical protocol, which are generically discussed in Section 3 of this QA/QC Plan.
Aspects of the data which do not meet applicable QA/QC guidelines and deviations from established
analytical procedures will be documented in a narrative accompanying the data.
Upon receipt of the laboratory data reports, the data will be validated by the Laboratory Coordinator.
This procedure will involve the review of data, reporting untts, laboratory method blanks, field blanks,
trip blanks, rinsate blanks, the agreement between samples and duplicates, surrogate and spike
recoveries, and the case narrative. US EPA guidelines for data validation will be utilized where
appropriate. The validation qualttiers U, J, N, and R defined in the guidelines will not replace any data
qualifier(s) reported by the laboratory.
Data red~ction for this phase of the investigation will consist of tabulating analytical results from
Analytical Data Reports into summary tables through the use of computerized database and
spreadsheet software. Reduced data will be placed in the central file maintained by the Project
Manager.
Raw field specttic conductance data will be reported as micromhos per centimeter (µmhos/cm) and will
be corrected to 25°C. The pH measurements will be reported as standard units, and temperature will
be reported in degrees Centigrade (°C). Hard copy analytical data will be reported in units consistent
with the respective protocols. Diskette deliverable data, if generated, will have analyte concentrations
reported in parts per million (ppm).

SECTION 10
Data of questionable or unacceptable qualtty will be documented. This documentation will include a
description of the nonconformance-with the analytical protocol and cautions/limitations associated with
data usage.
Accountable documentation include ttems such as log books, field data records, correspondence,
Chain-of-Custody records, analytical reports, photographs, computer disks, and final reports. The
Project Manager is responsible for maintaining a file in which all accountable documents will be
inventoried. Raw data generated during field operations will be filed to eliminate or correct errors
arising from the transfer of data.
In order to avoid errors in the transfer of data, copies of raw data from the field notebooks and the data
as received from the laboratory will be entered into a data file. The data file will serve as the ultimate
archive for information and data generated during the RA.
Qualtty Assurance Reviewers will be responsible for determining that data reduction, validation, and
reporting methods follow the approved procedures. The reviewers will see that corrective action(s) are
implemented, as needed.

INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS
APRIL 1994
SECTION 11
Internal Quality Control Checks of field activities will be utilized during this investigation through the use
of the following:
Field Blanks -These blanks consist of organic free, deionized water contained in each
sample container with any preservatives required for that analysis. These will serve as
a QC check on the field sampling methods for CLP analytes, container cleanliness, and
external contamination. A field blank will be submitted for each sampling event.
Trip Blanks -These blanks consists of organic free, deionized water contained in
volatile organic compound (VOC) sample containers and preserved similar to voe
samples. These samples serve as a QC check on potential external contamination
and/or cross-contamination between voe samples during shipping and storage. A trip
blank will accompany each cooler of voe samples sent to the laboratory.
Rlnsate Blanks -These are samples of organic free, deionized water which have been
in contact with decontaminated sampling and/or drilling equipment. These samples
serve as a QC check on the field decontamination procedure. A rinsate blank will be
collected biweekly (i.e., alternate weeks) during each field event when on-site
decontamination of equipment is performed.
Field Duplicate Samples -Duplicate samples will be collected to allow determination
of analytical repeatability and sample homogeneity. At a minimum, one duplicate
sample for every 20 surface and/or subsurface samples and one duplicate for every 20
liquid waste samples will be collected and submitted for analysis.
Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate Samples - A matrix spike/matrix duplicate
sample will be submitted as a further QC check. Matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate
samples are actually laboratory analytical QC items which are discussed here because
sufficient sample must be collected in the field in order to perform these analyses.
These samples will be collected at the same frequency as stated above for the
duplicate samples. These samples will allow the amount of recovery of spike
compounds (the spike compounds are defined in the CLP protocols) to be determined
for matrix effects specific to the study site through the addition of known concentrations
of compounds into the sample at the laboratory and then performing the analysis. The
level of added constituent incorporated into QC samples will be consistent with the CLP
protocol. The frequency of matrix spike/matrix duplicate samples will also be consistent
with CLP protocol.
Duplicate samples will be labeled in a manner such that their sampling point location is not disclosed to
the laboratory. The duplicate sample number (e.g. DU-1) and its corresponding sample location will be
recorded in the field notebook. Sampling date and time will not be filled out on the label of the

point location to the laboratory.
Where more than one sample of a given matrix (e.g. soil, water, waste) is collected, sufficient sample
volume should be collected for matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) analyses at a
minimum of two sample locations. This procedure will allow the laboratory to select the sample for
MS/MSD analyses.

15.1 Laboratory Corrective Action
Section 15
CORRECTIVE ACTION
APRIL 1994
SECTION 15
Corrective actions are required when an out-of-control event or potential out-of-control event is noted.
The corrective action taken is somewhat dependent on the analysis and the event.
Examples of "out-of-control" events include the following:
QC data are outside the warning or acceptable windows for precision and accuracy;
Blanks contain target analytes above acceptable levels;
Undesirable trends are detected in spike recoveries or RPD between duplicates;
There are unusual changes in detection limits;
Deficiencies are detected by the QA Department during internal or external audits or
from the resutts of pertormance evaluation samples; or
Inquiries concerning data quality are received.
Corrective action procedures are often handled at the bench level by the analyst who reviews the
preparation or extraction procedure for possible errors, checks the instrument calibration, spike and
calibration mixes, instrument sensitivity, and so on. If the problem persists or cannot be identified, the
matter is referred to the laboratory supervisor, manager and/or QA Department for further investigation.
Once resolved, full documentation of the corrective action procedure is filed with the QA Department.
The laboratory will provide documentation as to what, if any, corrective actions were initiated
concerning this study and report them to the Laboratory Coordinator.
15.2 Contamination
For each matrix analyzed, the Laboratory Coordinator will review the data from the analysis of field, trip,
rinsate. and method blanks. If excessive contamination (i.e., levels above allowable limtts set within the

analytical laboratory:
Check raw data and calculations, and
If the contaminating analyte is also present at high levels in field samples,
repeat the analysis of the laboratory stored sample or sample extract.
If the contamination does not appear to originate at the laboratory, the Laboratory Coordinator in
conjunction wtth the Project Manager will review field sampling procedures to determine if a change in
field sampling protocol is necessary.
15.3 Missing or Lost Samples or Data
The objective for completeness is 95 percent. If samples or data are lost during sampling and analysis
activities, corrective actions will be taken, including:
Requesting that the analytical laboratory reanalyze stored samples or extracts, if
available; and
Repeating collection and analysis of ground water samples.

Section 1
COORDINATION AND RESPONSIBILITY
APRIL 1994
SECTION 1
The overall responsibility for the health and safety of contracting personnel lies with contractor. The
instruction of contractor and subcontractor stte workers in safe work practices and emergency
procedures is the responsibiltty of the respective contractor and subcontractor(s). This Health and
Safety Plan will be made available to contractor(s) for information only. Each RA Construction
contractor and subcontractor will be responsible for developing and implementing their own site Health
and Safety Plan that will at a minimum, meet the requirements established in this plan. General
contractor-designated Site Health and Safety Representatives (GC-HSR) will be the senior field
representative continually on site during any stte activtty and will be responsible for implementing the
stte-specific Health and Safety Plan during field operations.
The RA Construction Manager will not allow work to begin at the Stte until a Health and Safety Plan
has been developed by the General Contractor. Each subcontractor must provide a written
acknowledgement of his acceptance of the provisions contained in the General Contractor's H & S Plan
prior to commencing any stte work. Alternatively each subcontractor must develop his own H & S Plan
that at a minimum contains the provisions outlined herein. Before visiting the work site, all personnel
must attend a site-specific briefing session, to be conducted by a general contractor-designated Health
and Safety Representative (GC-HSR) or his designee, on the potential site hazards and specific
requirements of this Health and Safety Plan, including training in the proper function and operations of
all monttoring and personal protective equipment.
Visttors to the site must attend as Site-specific Health and Safety briefing and be accompanied by 40-
hour trained personnel during their entire visit to the site. Protection of the local population will be
addressed through appropriate perimeter monitoring for off-site effects. Notification of local population
in the event of off-site effects will proceed as outlined in Section 6.3 of this Plan.
The Removal Contractor will assist US EPA wtth community relations, as appropriate. Community
meetings will be coordinated at the discretion of US EPA.
If there is any question whether an unplanned occurrence on site may compromise health and safety,
the GC-HSR has the authority to interrupt operations and to remove all personnel from the area. If

practical, the RA Construction Manager should be consulted before any operation is interrupted. If
work is stopped due to any health and safety concern, immediate attention should be given by health
and safety personnel, working in cooperation with the RA Construction Manager, to idenrny and correct
the cause of concern as quickly as possible. Any such incident should be fully documented by the Site
Health and Safety Representative in a report to the RA Construction Manager. In the event of a work
stoppage, the client must be nornied as soon as possible, and kept apprised of progress in resolving
the incident until normal operations are resumed.
NOTE: REFER TO SECTION 13.5 FOR EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS. THESE
EMERGENCY CONTACTS AND NUMBERS MUST BE POSTED AT THE SITE DURING RA

MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 2
Section 2
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Macon/Dockery Site is located approximately 1.6 miles southwest of Cordova in Richmond County,
North Carolina. The site is bounded to the east by State Road (SR) 1103 and to the north, west, and
south by woods and farmland. The site is officially described as comprising a 16-acre tract owned by
relatives and heirs of Charles Macon, and a one-acre tract owned by John Dockery. The Dockery
property is located approximately 2,600 feet north of the Macon property and is non-contiguous wrth it.
The Macon property is approximately 60 percent wooded while the Dockery property is almost entirely
wooded. Current land use in the vicinity of the site is primarily agricultural with limited residential use
along SR1103. Residential use increases toward the northeast in the direction of the communrty of
Cordova. Four residences are located near the stte along SR1103. These residences are
hydrogeologically upgradient of the waste management areas. Hunting is the primary activity at the
stte.
The area potentially affected by site activities and therefore subject to site remedial action expands
beyond the official site description. The tract owned by the relatives and heirs of Charles Macon
comprises 40 acres, most of which have been affected by stte activtties. The tract is bordered to the
south and west by property owned by Federal Paper Board Corporation and to the north by property
owned by Dewey M. Thompson. The tract owned by John Dockery is comprised of 570 acres. The
affected area, including the modeled plume locations, fall within the borders of this tract. Figure 2-1 is
a site location map that shows the locations of the Macon and Dockery properties.
The Macon property is currently owned by Dorothy Macon, who has owned the property since 1972.
Prior to the mid-1970s, the property was maintained as undeveloped woodlands and pasture. From the
late 1970s until 1980, Charles Macon operated a waste disposal and oil recycling business on the
Macon property. C&M Oil Distributors leased and operated the oil recycling facility on the Macon
property from 1981 to 1982. The Dockery property is currently owned by four members of the Dockery
family. During the time that he operated the Macon property as a waste disposal and oil recycling
facility, Charles Macon disposed of and/or stored

hazardous substances on this property in unlined surface impoundments and leaking drums. On
November 11, 1983, EPA initiated an emergency removal on the Macon Property. Removal operations
on the Dockery Property began on January 9, 1984. Removal activities at both properties were
completed on January 17, 1984. During the course of the removal action, EPA removed contaminated
soils and materials (including over 2,000 drums of hazardous substances) from the entire site. Some
hazardous substances were contained on-site until the initiation of remedial action.
In 1985, EPA conducted a geological and sampling investigation at the Site. The investigation detected
the presence of hazardous substances in ground water and sediment. In January 1987, the Site was
proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List, and in July 1987, pursuant to Section 105 of
CERCLA, EPA placed the Site on the National Priorities List (NPL).
As a result of the proposed inclusion of the Site on the National Priorities List, and in response to the
release or substantial threat of a release of hazardous substances at or from the Site, a Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the Site was initiated on April 13, 1988. The Remedial
Investigation (RI) Report was completed in February 1991, and the Feasibility Study (FS) Report was
completed inn July 1991.
Based on the findings of the RI, cleanup levels were established for 33 contaminants. These
contaminants are classified as hazardous substances under 40 CFR 302. Sampling in all media
confirmed that ground water beneath and hydraulically downgradient of the Site and soil in two former
lagoons was contaminated by these substances. The risk assessment conducted as part of the RI/FS
determined that future exposures to ground water and soil associated with this site may present a
potential risk to human health. Ground water was found to be moving in a northwesterly direction.
The US EPA issued its final Record of Decision (ROD), adopted on September 30, 1991, and re-issued
on April 21, 1992, which contained the remedy to be implemented at the Site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
APRIL 1994
SECTION 3
This Health and Safety Plan has been prepared to address the Remedial Action phase of the
Macon/Dockery Site work. The Remedial Action Phase will consist of two distinct types of activities
based on the degree to which site workers are exposed to possible safety or health hazards. Remedial
action tasks in which worker exposures may potentially occur:
Earth moving,
Excavation and trenching,
Grading,
Underground pipe laying,
Drilling for ground water extraction wells,
Off-site transportation of affected materials,
Removal of vessels (including vats, tankers, and trailers),
Installation of soil vapor extraction system,
Installation of ground water recovery treatment systems, and
Ground water and surface water sampling.
Remedial Action tasks in which potential hazard exposures are not reasonably expected include:
Electrical wiring of control technology,
Surface pipe installation,
Start-up testing,
Operations and maintenance, and
Bushhogging of site.

Section 4
HAZARD ASSESSMENT
APRIL 1994
SECTION 4
Table 4-1 presents chemicals of potential concern and Table 4-2 presents inhalation exposure limits
applicable to work place exposures for organic contaminants found at the Macon/Dockery Stte. Table
4-3 presents this information for semivolatile organic compounds found on the site, and Table 4-4
shows this information for metals.
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values
(TL Vs) for the work environment are given when available for each of these chemicals. Two TL V
standards are presented for each chemical. The Time Weighted Average (TWA) is the average
chemical concentration in air, averaged over an 8-hour period, to which most workers can be exposed
for an 8-hour day and 40-hour week for 50 years wtthout any adverse health effects. The Short Term
Exposure Limit (STEL) is a 15-minute time-weighted average exposure that should not be exceeded at
any time during a work day even if the 8-hour time-weighted average is within the TLV. Also
presented, when available, is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL), and the NIOSH and OSHA Standards Completion Program (SCP) Immediately
Dangerous to Ltte or Health (IDLH) level. The PEL values are presented either as an 8-hour TWA or a
ceiling (Ceil) limit. The IDLH value represents a maximum concentration from which one could escape
within 30 minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or irreversible health effects. Other relevant
health-based information that applies to this safety and health plan or to the employee's right to know is
discussed under summary health reviews given below or in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
for the site. The MSDSs for the materials at the stte will be maintained by the Construction Contractor.

characteristics.
Methylene Chloride
(CH,CI,. Dlchloromethane, Methylene Dichloride)
APRIL 1994
SECTION 4
Methylene chloride is a solvent used mainly as a low temperature extractant of substances
which are adversely affected by high temperature. Repeated contact with methylene chloride
may cause a dry, scaly, and fissured dermatitis. The liquid and vapor are irrttating to the eyes
and upper respiratory tract at higher concentrations. If the liquid is held in contact with the skin,
tt may cause skin burns. Methylene chloride is a mild narcotic. Effects from intoxication
include headache, giddiness, stupor, irritability, numbness, and tingling in the limbs. Irritation to
the eyes and upper respiratory passages occurs at higher dosages. In severe cases,
observers have noted toxic encephalopathy wtth hallucinations, pulmonary edema, coma, and
death. Cardiac arrhythmias have been produced in animals but have not been common in
human experiences. Exposure to this agent may cause elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels
which may be significant in smokers, or workers with anemia or heart disease, and those
exposed to CO. The ACGIH has listed methylene chloride as a suspected human carcinogen.

general anesthetics, but its use for this purpose has been abandoned because of toxic effects.
Chloroform may produce burns tt left in contact with the skin. It is a relatively potent anesthetic
at high concentrations. Death from its use as an anesthetic has resulted from liver damage
and from cardiac arrest. Exposure may cause lassitude, digestive disturbance, dizziness,
mental dullness and coma. Chronic overexposure has been shown to cause enlargement of
the liver, and kidney damage. Alcoholics seem to be affected sooner and more severely from

Methyl chloroform, commonly known as 1,1,1-trichloroethane, is a common solvent. Liquid and
vapor are irritating to eyes on contact This effect is usually noted first in acute exposure
cases. Mild conjunctivitis may develop but recovery is usually rapid. Repeated skin contact
may produce a dry, scaly, and fissured dermatttis, due to the solvent's defatting properties.
Methyl chloroform is a narcotic and depresses the central nervous system. Acute exposure
symptoms include dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness, increased reaction time,
unconsciousness, and death.

Exposure to trichloroethene vapor may cause irrttation of the eyes, nose, and throat. The
liquid, tt splashed in the eyes, may cause burning irritation and damage. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact wtth the liquid may cause dermatttis. Acute exposure to trichloroethene
depresses the central nervous system exhibiting such symptoms as headache, dizziness,
vertigo, tremors, nausea and vomtting, irregular heart beat, sleepiness, fatigue, blurred vision,
and intoxication similar to that of alcohol. Unconsciousness and death have been reported.
Alcohol may make the symptoms of trichloroethane overexposure worse. If alcohol has been
consumed, the overexposed worker may become flushed. TCE addiction and peripheral

Vinyl Ch/or/de
(Chloroethylene, Chloroethene, Monoch/oroethylene)
Vinyl chloride is a flammable gas at room temperature and is usually encountered as a cooled
liquid. The colorless liquid forms a vapor which has a pleasant ethereal odor.
Vinyl chloride is a skin irrnant, and contact with the liquid may cause frostbite upon evaporation.
The eyes may be immediately and severely irritated. Vinyl chloride depresses the central
nervous system causing symptoms which resemble mild alcohol intoxication. Lightheadedness,
some nausea, and dulling of visual and auditory responses may develop in acute exposures.
Death from severe vinyl chloride exposure has been reported. Chronic exposure may also
cause hepatic damage. Vinyl chloride is regarded as a human carcinogen, and a causal agent
of angiosarcoma of the liver. Excess cancer of the lung and the lymphatic and nervous
systems also has been reported. Experimental evidence of tumor induction in a variety or
organs, including liver, lung, brain, and kidney, as well as nonmalignant atterations, such as
fibrosis and connective tissue deterioration, indicate the multisystem oncogenic and toxicologic
of vinyl chloride.

Benzene is a clear, volatile, colorless, highly flammable liquid with a characteristic odor.
Exposure to liquid and vapor may produce primary irritation to skin, eyes, and upper respiratory
tract. If the liquid is aspirated into the lung, it may cause pulmonary edema and hemorrhage.
Erythema, vesiculation, and dry, scaly dermatitis also may develop from defatting of the skin.
Acute exposure to benzene results in central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness,
nausea, convulsions, coma, and death may resutt. Death has occurred from large acute
exposure as a result of ventricular fibrillation, probably caused by myocardial sensnization to
endogenous epinephrine. Early reported autopsies revealed hemorrhages (non-
pathognomonic) in the brain, pericardium, urinary tract, mucous membranes, and skin. Chronic
exposure to benzene is well documented to cause blood changes.
Benzene is basically a myelotoxic agent. Erythrocyte, leukocyte, and thrombocyte counts may
first increase, and then aplastic anemia may develop with anemia, leukopenia, and
thrombocytopenia. The bone marrow may become hypo-or hyper-active and may not always
correlate with peripheral blood. Recent epidemiologic studies, along with case reports of
benzene related blood dyscrasias and chromosomal aberrations, have led NIOSH to conclude

that benzene is leukemogenic. The US EPA also characterizes benzene as a human
carcinogen. The evidence is most convincing for acute myelogenous leukemia and for acute
erythroleukemia, but a connection with chronic leukemia has been noted by a few investigators.
Recent work has shown increases in the rate of chromosomal aberrations associated wtth
benzene myelotoxictty. These changes in the bone marrow are stable or unstable and may
occur several years after exposure has ceased. "Stable" changes may give rise to leukemic
clones and seem to involve chromosomes of the G group.

and fever. Usually the first complaints are of excessive salivation and painful chewing.
Psychic disturbances include loss of memory, insomnia, lack of confidence, irritability, vague
fears, and depression. In humans, It is readily absorbed by the respiratory tract, intact skin,
and the gastrointestinal tract. After absorption, mercury circulates in the blood and is stored in
the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bone.

The volatile cyanides inhibrt tissue oxidation and cause death through asphyxia. The nrtrates
are generally somewhat less toxic. The non-volatile cyanide salts appear to be relatively non-
toxic systemically, as long as they are not ingested and care is taken not to form HCN.
(Carbon dioxide from the air is sufficiently acidic to liberate HCN from cyanide solutions.)
Cyanide is flammable by chemical reaction wrth heat, moisture and acid.
Cyanide is very poisonous by most routes, including the skin, mucous membranes, and by
inhalation. Death may occur wrth ingestion of even small amounts of sodium or potassium
cyanide and can occur within minutes or hours depending on route of exposure. Inhalation of
toxic fumes represents a potentially rapid fatal type of exposure.
Clinically, cyanide poisoning is reported to produce a bitter, almond odor on the breath of the
patient. Typically, cyanide has a bitter, burning taste, and following poisoning, symptoms of
salivation, nausea without vomiting, anxiety, confusion, ·vertigo, giddiness, lower jaw stiffness,
convulsions, paralysis, coma, cardiac arrhythmias, and transient respiratory stimulation followed
by respiratory failure may occur.

4.5 Physical Hazards
4.5.1 Utllltles
Overhead or underground utilrties such as electric, gas, telephone, water, sewer, and drainage
in the project work areas must be located before the start of operations that require set-up of
heavy equipment such as drill rigs. Due to the remote, rural location of the site, hazards
from these utilities should be minimal. However, confirmation should be made prior to work
commencing at the srte Information regarding the location of utilrties will be kept at the field site
for reference. Efforts will be made to use a utilrty location service prior to subsurtace work if
needed.
4.5.2 Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment, such as the drill rigs used on-site, is under the control of the contractor, who
is responsible for maintaining the equipment in good working order and operating rt safely.
Heavy equipment must have audible back-up alarms in working condition, provide rollover
protection, and be equipped with seat belts and fire extinguishers. Spark arresters will be
installed in all equipment used in potentially flammable and explosive atmospheres. Personnel
shall not work near equipment that they judge to be unsafe because of deterioration, missing
parts, obvious defects, or improper operation. Equipment shall be inspected daily prior to
operation.
Operation of heavy equipment in areas with steep embankments or unstable ground will be
avoided. If rt is necessary to operate equipment in these areas. the contractor will make
provisions to ensure the safety of the equipment operator and other personnel in the area.
4.5.3 Noise
Hearing protection must be worn by personnel when they are exposed to noise levels of 85
decibels A scale (dBA) or greater. Noise measurements, tt conducted, should be pertormed
with sound level meters in slow response mode, or with noise dosimeters having a beginning
collection point established at 80 dBA. Heavy equipment, including drill rigs, when in operation,
generally produce noise levels that exceed 85 dBA for personnel working at or near the
equipment.

MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 4
4.5.4 Confined Spaces and Excavations
The tanks that continue to be located on the stte are considered to be confined spaces. Entry
into these tanks may be necessary during the decontamination and decomissioning of vessels.
Contractors will be required to develop confined space entry procedures not addressed in this
plan. Should confined space entry become necessary, entry will not occur until procedures
have been developed and implemented.
The excavation in Lagoon 1 O will create both a confined space and an excavation hazard. If
the excavation must be entered, the OSHA Standard for Excavations, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P,
must be followed as a minimum. This standard includes provisions for proper shoring or
sloping of the excavation along wtth air monitoring requirements prior to entry. This standard is
attached as Appendix A.
4.5.5 Blologlcal Hazards
Many of the areas of the Macon/Dockery Stte are overgrown wtth dense underbrush. To
access some of the existing monttoring wells and other areas of the site, these areas must be
entered. There are several potential hazards that may be encountered. They include the
following:
Snakes • There are poisonous snakes on this site. Site personnel entering overgrown
areas during the "snake season" shall wear snake chaps or gaiters.
Ticks -It is anticipated that ticks will be a problem at this site. Tick repellent or other
appropriate insect repellent will be used. Long sleeves are recommended.
Other Insects -Stinging insects such as bees, wasps, or yellow jackets are expected
to be on-site. Personnel who may have allergic reactions if stung will keep a bee sting
kit on-site.
Poisonous Plants • Poison ivy and poison oak may be present at the site. Personnel
should avoid contact.
4.5.6 Hunting
The Macon/Dockery Stte is under lease to a local hunt club; the site is used for deer hunting by
the club. Prior to beginning site activtties, the hunt club will be notified that site Remedial
Action activities are beginning. If hunting activities are not suspended during the RA
construction phase, site personnel will wear orange safety vests during work activities.

QUALITATIVE RISK ANALYSIS
APRIL 1994
SECTION 5
The principal potential chemical hazard associated wtth drilling operations and other subsurface
activities at this site is exposure to volatile and semivolatile compounds and their vapors. It is
anticipated that exposures will be within established exposure guidelines. However, due to the toxicity,
the possible carcinogenic effects, and the various routes of entry into the body, appropriate monitoring
and personal protective equipment will be used to reduce the risks.
Heavy metals have also been detected at this stte, and reasonab.le steps will be taken to prevent
inhalation and ingestion of contaminated soil particles. If substantial airborne dust becomes evident,
the use of full-face respirators with combination cartridges may be required. These requirements will be
identified under Section 7, Required Personal Protective Equipment.
Physical hazards may pose the greatest risk to site personnel. Heat stress, excavation, insects, snake
bites, and hunters are hazards with more potential for immediate acute effects to personnel.
Appropriate work practices and protective measures are addressed in this plan.

Section 6
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Contractors and subcontractors pertorming RA Construction activities at the Site are responsible for
implementing air monitoring as specified in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Unilateral Administrative
Order (UAO) for the Srte. The types of air monrtoring required in the SOW and UAO include work area
monitoring, personnel monitoring, and perimeter monitoring. These three types of air monitoring are
discussed below.
6.1 Work Area Monitoring
Real-time air monitoring will be conducted wrth appropriate instrumentation for organic vapors and
combustible gases. The purpose of using real-time monitoring equipment is to determine if a
downgrade (or upgrade) of personal protective equipment is required while pertorming on-site work and
to implement engineering controls, protocols or emergency procedures.
Real-time monitoring may be conducted using the following equipment:
Photoionization Detector (PID). The PID is used to check for ionizable airborne
compounds and shall be calibrated before and after use following the instrument
manufacturer's recommendations (using a benzene surrogate standard gas). The PID
will be maintained in operational condition at all times.
Combustible gas/oxygen indicator (CGI) shall be used and calibrated per the users
manual.
The following is a potential listing of real-time monitoring requirements for this project:
Real-time monitoring shall be conducted during all intrusive tasks in potentially
contaminated areas. These tasks include but are not necessarily limited to: vessel
decontamination, waste excavation, segregating waste, and loading waste for
transportation.
Real-time monitoring with an LEL/02 meter (and alarm) will be run continuously during
all intrusive tasks to help indicate the presence of dangerous levels. The LEL (lower
explosive limit) meter will be checked to ensure that a flammable atmospheres is not
present. The 02 meter will ensure that adequate oxygen levels are found in all work
zones (even those not classified as a confined space).
Readings of real-time monitoring instruments will be observed during all active work
procedures. Increments for readings will be determined by the contractor or

subcontractor as situation indicates. Continuous monitoring will be employed if
readings indicate levels above background or if action levels are approached.
Real-time monitoring may be decreased or terminated for a particular task after
consultation with the RA Construction Manager and if the following conditions are met:
real-time instruments indicate no levels above background; active excavation is
terminated; and laboratory results from documentation monitoring do not indicate levels
hazardous to human health.
A set of real-time monitoring instruments shall be required at all concurrent intrusive on-
site activities.
When elevated PIO readings are observed at the work site, the Heatth and Safety
Officer shall take steps necessary to ensure the health and safety of on-site and off-site
personnel.
6.1. 1 Site-Specific Activities
Organic vapor readings may be made using either a Foxboro OVA (Model 128), an HNu
Photoionization Analyzer, (Model PF 101 ), a Photovac Microtip, or other comparable monitoring
device during well sampling at the time the well is opened. If a newly opened well has an
excessively high reading (as defined in Table 7-1), the sampling personnel shall leave the
immediate area for 1 0 minutes and then return for a definitive reading. This second reading
and subsequent readings will be used to trigger the use of additional personal protective
equipment (PPE), if warranted. An additional reading will be taken during each well sampling
at the time the first water sample is removed. During boring operations for soil samples,
organic vapor readings will be taken when the soil cuttings are first brought to the sur1ace,
when the augers are disconnected from the drive cap and when the split spoon sampler is
opened to remove sample. If vapor concentrations in the breathing zone exceed the action
levels established in this plan, appropriate respirators will be donned.
During well installation activities, organic vapor readings will be made during core barrel
removal, drill pipe disconnection, and initial sample inspection, pumping and/or bailing
operations at each new depth.
For subsurface/intrusive work associated with the RA Construction phases, monitoring will be
conducted continuously and documented in the field log. These activities include, but are not

6.1.2 Documentation
Records will be maintained by the General Contractor as part of the health and safety air
sampling program. The record will include, as a·minimum, the following:
Collection date,
Real-time monttoring pump/equipment identification number,
Location sampled,
Task sampled,
Duration of each sample collected,
Ambient temperature and humidtty of sampling period,
Pre-sampling calibration record, and
Any pertinent comments.
If at any time the instrumentation indicates an adverse change in conditions, the general
contractor must notify the RA Construction Manager immediately and follow-up wtth a written
report by the end of the working day.
Personnel Monitoring
Personnel monttoring is a necessary tool for obtaining Time-Weighted Averages (TWA) of employee
exposures to specific chemicals over the course of a workday. It provides definitive data of airborne
contaminants and is usually pertormed in the worker's "breathing zone." Requirements of the
Personnel Monitoring Program will be determined by the contractor or subcontractor and may involve
the following:
Health and safety documentation monitoring shall include the collection and analysis of
samples for organic vapors.
Organic vapors will be collected using charcoal sorbent tubes and personal sampling
pumps and analyzed according to NIOSH Method 1500. A general organic vapor
screen will be requested for positive organic vapor identification and quantification.

Heatth and safety documentation samples will be collected on-site. On-site samples
will be collected using sampling pumps and collection media for organic vapors.
Pumps and media will be set up in those areas or worn by those personnel considered
to be "high risk". "High risk" areas and personnel are those areas containing and those
personnel potentially exposed to the highest levels of contamination during the
execution of a particular task.
The sampling devices, pumps, collection media, and any necessary support equipment
shall be appropriately assembled into a sampling train, and each resuttant sampling
train shall be flow calibrated as a complete system before and after each day's use
against a primary standard.
Representative personnel samples will be collected at the initiation of each new phase
of on-site work before work begins to establish background levels. Subsequent
samples will be collected as deemed necessary by the general contractor.
Personnel monttoring may be terminated for particular task after consultation with the
RA Construction Manager if the following conditions are met: real-time instrumentation
indicates no significant levels above background; sufficient analytical data have been
collected from previous sampling indicating that no heatth hazard exists; and/or no new
intrusive activities are planned.
All collected samples will be sent to a laboratory which is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene
Association. All sampling data and reports shall be maintained at the job location. An evaluation of
data shall be done by the CIH as necessary. The general contractor will maintain a daily sampling
record and will include the following:
Collection date,
Sampling identification number,
Location sampled,
Task sampled,
Duration of each sample collected,
Ambient temperature and humidity of sampling period,
Pre-and post-sampling train flow calibration,
Pertinent comments, and

Also, the general contractor will report verbally all data resutting from daily air monttoring at the end of the work period and will furnish copies of the daily air monitoring log weekly to the RA Construction
Manager.
Other air sampling may be performed based on the knowledge of substances encountered at the site and the judgment of the RA Construction Manager.
6.3 Perimeter Monitoring
A meteorological station will be installed on-stte in the clean zone which will be capable of recording, at a minimum, temperature, wind veloctty and direction.
As deemed appropriate by the general contractor, air monitoring will be performed at the perimeter of the site. Perimeter monitoring will aid in the evaluation of off-stte migration of airborne contaminants
during the remedial action. Meterological condttions and stte activtties will dictate the timing of perimeter monitoring episodes. Perimeter monttoring will be conducted wtth real-time monitoring
equipment to determine if additional engineering controls, protocols, or emergency procedures are
required in an active portion of the stte. Additionally, the perimeter air monitoring results will be used to assess the potential exposure, if any, to off-stte residents during the Remedial Action.
Also, the on-stte general contractor will report verbally all data resulting from perimeter air monitoring at the end of the established monitoring period and will furnish copies of the perimeter air monitoring log to the RA Construction Manager. If perimeter monitoring indicates the migration of site-specific waste constituents off-site with the potential to affect nearby populations, the appropriate local, State, and
Federal agencies will be contacted by the RA Construction Manager, acting on behalf of the RA
Coordinator/MDSG in accordance with Section IX of the UAO.

Section 8
HEAT/COLD STRESS PROTECTIVE MEASURES
The time frame of the project may cause stte personnel to potentially be exposed to heat stress. The
use of personal protective equipment, such as Tyvek coveralls, may also cause personnel to
experience some heat stress conditions, if temperatures exceed 70°F.
8.1 Heat Stress
The US EPA Standard Operating Safety Guides (1984) recommend that a heat stress monttoring
program be implemented when employees are wearing impervious clothing and ambient temperatures
are 70°F or above. The frequency of monitoring should increase as temperatures increase, and
employees should be monitored after each work period when ambient temperatures exceed 85°F. The
following monitoring program recommended by the US EPA guide should be used by personnel when
ambient temperatures exceed 70°F: Heart Rate (HR) should be measured by the radial pulse for 30
seconds as early as possible in the resting period. The HR at the beginning of the rest period should
not exceed 110 beats per minute. If the HR is higher, the next work period should be shortened by 33
percent, while the length of the rest period stays the same. If the pulse rate is 11 O beats per minute at
the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycle should be shortened by another 33
percent.
All personnel must be instructed on the symptoms of the main heat-related disorders and how to
recognize these disorders. These disorders, their symptoms and first-aid measures are outlined below.
Heat Rash: Decreased ability to tolerate heat, raised red vesicles on affected areas, and
clothes that chafe. Maintain good personal hygiene and use drying powders or lotions.
Heat Cramps: Muscle spasms and pain in the extremities and abdomen. Rest in cooler area
and drink lightly salted fluids. Get medical attention.
Heat Exhaustion: Shallow breathing; pale, cool, moist, clammy skin; profuse sweating;
dizziness and lassitude, fainting. Rest in a cool area and drink fluids. Get medical attention
prior to returning to work.
Heat Stroke: Red, hot, dry skin; no perspiration; nausea; dizziness and confusion; strong rapid
pulse; coma. Cool person off immediately with cool or cold water. Immediate medical
assistance must be obtained.

Sometimes n is not practical to follow the guidelines specified above. Therefore, at a minimum, when
wearing non-breathable coveralls at temperatures greater than 70°, site personnel shall take a break
every two hours and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. The intake of an average of one quart of fluids
per hour is recommended. A cool or shaded rest area should be provided.
8.2 Cold Stress
Construction activities may be conducted during winter; therefore, sne personnel will be instructed on
the signs and symptoms of cold stress and on the methods of preventing cold-related disorders. The
two major cold-related disorders are frostbne and hypothermia. The general symptoms are as follows:
Frostbite -Sudden blanching of the skin progressing to skin with a waxy or white appearance
which is firm to the touch, but the tissue beneath the skin is resilient.
Hypothermia -The symptoms of systemic hypothermia are usually exhibited in five stages as
follows:
Shivering,
Apathy, listlessness, drowsiness, and (sometimes) rapid cooling of the body to less
than 95°F,
Unconsciousness, glassy stare, slow pulse, and slow respiratory rate,
Freezing of the extremities, and
Death.
Personnel will watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia in themselves and team members.
If temperatures drop below 20°F, as measured by the wind chill index (See Wind Chill Chart in
Appendix B), thermal clothing will be required. Field activities should be curtailed tt equivalent wind chill
temperature, as shown on the wind chill chart, is below 0°F, unless the activny is of an emergency
nature.

STANDARD OPERATING SAFETY PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS
The following general operating procedures shall be followed by stte personnel. These precautionary
measures are designed to reduce the risks of inadvertent or accidental chemical exposure of physical
injury during on-stte operations.
10.1 Personal Precautions
Be familiar wtth standard operating safety procedures and adhere to all instructions and
requirements in the site Health and Safety Plan.
Eating, drinking, chewing gum or tobacco, smoking, or any practice that increases the
probability of hand-to-mouth transfer and ingestion of material is prohibited in any

DECONTAMINATION CONTROL MEASURES
APRIL 1994
SECTION 11
Stte work zones shall be established to reduce the accidental spread of hazardous substances by
workers or equipment. The flow of personnel and equipment among these zones shall be controlled
through designated access and egress points by the general Contractor's Health and Safety
Representative (GC-HSR).
11.1 Site Organization and Control
Stte organization and control will be established and maintained according to the recommendations set
forth in EPA's "Standard Operating Safety Guide," November 1984, and the NIOSH/OSHN USCG/EPA
"Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Stte Activities," October 1985.
Three general areas of operation shall be established to reduce the risk of personnel exposure to
hazardous substances. The three areas are:
Exclusion Zone (Zone A)
Contamination Reduction Zone (Zone B)
Support Zone (Zone C)
The dimensions of each area and the safe working distances between each area shall be balanced
against practical work considerations and existing field conditions.
11.2 Exclusion Zone
The Exclusion Zones will be limited to the existing areas of work during RA construction activities.
Since this area shall be considered contaminated, all personnel within the area must use the prescribed
levels of personal protection. A checkpoint shall be established at the periphery of the Exclusion Zone
to regulate the flow of personnel and equipment in and out of the area. The inttial Exclusion Zone
boundary (hotline) is based upon the actual presence of wastes, spilled materials, or affected media.
The boundary shall be readjusted based on subsequent observations and/or measurements. Any
change in the protection level specified by the HSP shall be approved by the GC-HSR before being
initiated. The hotline shall, tt possible, be well-defined by geographical or physical boundaries and shall
be physically secure.

MACON/DOCKERY SITE SECTION 11
Where the use of respiratory protection is not required during normal exclusion zone work activtties,
respirators should be immediately available for use should a potential hazard become evident.
Any item taken into the Exclusion Zone shall be considered to be contaminated until carefully inspected
by the stte GC-HSR and/or decontaminated. All vehicles, equipment, instruments, and materials taken
into the Exclusion Zone shall remain in the zone until decontaminated.
11.3 Contamination Reduction Zone
The Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ) will surround the Exclusion Zone. This zone shall serve as
a buffer between the Exclusion Zone and the Support Zone, and is intended to prevent the spread of
contaminants from work areas. All decontamination procedures shall be conducted wtthin this area,
along a defined decontamination corridor.
The boundary between the Support Zone and Contamination Reduction Zone is the contamination
control line. This boundary separates the area of possible contamination from clean areas. Entry into
the Contamination Reduction Zone from the Support Zone will be through a controlled access point.
Personnel entering this area shall be wearing the prescribed personal protective equipment. Extt from
the Contamination Reduction Zone requires the removal of any suspected or known contaminants
through compliance with established decontamination procedures.
11.4 Support Zone
The Support Zone shall consist of a staging area in a noncontaminated or clean area. It shall contain
elements necessary to support site activities. Normal work clothes and safety shoes can be worn in
this area. Location of access points and the command post shall be based upon wind direction,
topography and stte accessibility. Preferably, the command post should be located upwind of the site
Exclusion Zone. However, wind direction shift and other conditions may be such that the ideal location
based upon wind directions does not exist. The terrain, i.e., woods, water or hills, and available space
may limit selection of command post sttes.

11.5 Modifications to Site Control
The use of the three-area designation with access/egress control points could. wtth established
decontamination procedures. provide reasonable assurance against the translocation of contaminants.
This system of control is based on a "worst case" scenario.
11 .6 S lte Access
There are currently three points of access to the Macon/Dockery Site off of Highway 1103. The Macon
property can be accessed at the former Macon residence, or through a gate and access road
southwest of the residence on Highway 1103. The Dockery property can be accessed through a gate
and access road northeast of the Macon residence on Highway 1103. Gates at access roads will
remain locked when work is not being pertormed on the site. When site work is being conducted,
access will be controlled by the general contractor or the RA Construction Manager. Site access will be
coordinated wtth the River Rod and Gun Club who currently lease acreage from the Macon and
Dockery estates.
Less stringent site control and decontamination procedures may be utilized based upon field activities
and results of monitoring data. Any modification must be approved by the GC-HSR and documented in
an amendment to the general contractor's Health and Safety Plan.
11.7 Decontamination Procedures
Safe personal hygiene practices are discussed in Section 10, Standard Operating Safety Procedures
and Controls. Decontamination shall be pertormed under the oversight of the GC-HSR. Personnel and
portable field equipment decontamination shall be carried out in the contamination reduction corridor.
When working in the Exclusion Zone, care should be taken to avoid contamination of equipment
(particularly instruments) whenever possible. Drill rigs, other heavy equipment, and ancillary tools will
be cleaned in the equipment decontamination area within the CRZ and adjacent to the Hotline. Critical
zones and areas shall be variously identified and delineated with surveyor"s tape.
For all egress from the Exclusion Zone, decontamination stations shall consist of the following:

TRAINING OF PERSONNEL
APRIL 1994
SECTION 14
In order to be in compliance wtth OSHA regulations, all contracting personnel whose duties include
participation in job-related activities on these sttes, that involves the reasonable possibility of employee
exposure, must be able to document a minimum of 40 hours of inttial instruction off the site, and a
minimum of three days of actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced
supervisor. Activities not anticipated to exhibit a reasonable possibiltty of exposure include surtace
electrical and piping activities and bushhogging of the site. Forty hours of training is not required for
these personnel. However, site personnel not having 40-hour training must be accompanied by trained
personnel while working in waste management areas.
Stte-specific training shall be carried out by the GC-HSR or his designee before any employee enters
the stte. This shall consist of a review of the specific chemicals of concern, risks, symptoms of
exposure and an overview to include delineation of work zones, access, decontamination protocols,
safety procedures, and emergency contacts. Similarly, any visitors to the stte will be briefed on stte
activtties, safety procedures and emergency contacts. Visitors to the site will be accompanied by 40-
hour trained personnel when working in waste management areas.
Any personnel not initially cleared for stte entry will be provided a similar briefing at the site by the GC-
HSR before admittance into the Exclusion Zone is permitted.
The OSHA regulations provide that ij previous training can be demonstrated equivalent to the OSHA
inttial training requirements, this shall be considered as meeting those requirements. Equivalent
training includes the training that employees might have already received from actual, on-site work
experience.
Stte personnel must also have received eight hour health and safety refresher training within twelve
months of the Macon/Dockery Site work. First aid and CPR must also be current as defined by the
American Red Cross. Contractor and subcontractor personnel with 40-hour training will also be trained
in first aid and CPR. Documentation of required training will be maintained at the site.

MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE
APRIL 1994
SECTION 15
Contractors and subcontractors for the RA Construction activities are required to follow a medical
surveillance program specified in the general contractor's Health and Safety Plan for the Site. The
information contained in this section is offered as an outline for medical surveillance requirements.
Medical surveillance is required for those site workers to whom there is a reasonable possibility of
employee exposure at the Macon/Dockery Stte. The Medical Surveillance Program is a core element of
the Health and Safety Plan that supplements employee protection and provides liability protection. The
intent of this program is to detect deleterious consequences of occupational exposure to hazardous
substances and physical stresses, particularly those associated with the work environment at hazardous
waste sttes. The Surveillance Program is designed to monttor specific physiological conditions and
mechanisms that may be affected by non-episodic exposure as well as to provide acute or episodic
medical care as needed.
At a hazardous waste site, the most obvious threat to workers may be the potential exposure to
hazardous chemicals. A rational, well managed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program will
minimize these exposures to the extent that exposure remains within safe limits. Medical surveillance
is necessary, however. for several reasons. First, no matter how diligent the training, supervision and
maintenance efforts, incorrect use and the malfunction of PPE remain possible. In addition, no one
piece of protective equipment is capable of providing protection against all hazards, and no PPE is
capable of providing absolute protection against even one hazard, or for prolonged periods of time at a
given level of that hazard. Finally, there are the less obvious hazards inherent in the use of PPE.
These include the inhibition and added physiological burden of wearing nonbreathable suits, gloves,
boots, respirators, etc., while pertorming other tasks that of themselves may be strenuous. Vapor
barrier protective clothing can prevent evaporation of sweat thus causing metabolic heat to be stored in
the body and creating the potential for heat injury.
The Medical Surveillance Program has been developed using OSHA, NIOSH, US EPA, CDC, USCG,
universtty, and industrial data sources to address the categories of hazards outlined above, and
specifically those manijestations that may be encountered in hazardous waste operations by stte
personnel.

In addition to the pre-employment and exposure-specific annual examinations, the Medical Surveillance
Program includes provisions for pre-placement, periodic and exit examinations for specttic sites with
identifiable hazards of high potential exposure levels. However, at the Macon/Dockery Site, the hazard
assessment and risk analysis presented in Sections 4 and 5 of this plan do not indicate health risks
sufficient to warrant this additional monitoring beyond the standard medical surveillance program.
Unscheduled medical examinations will be conducted, however, in the unlikely event of unusual
exposures or accidents. Medical records are to be maintained by the Contractor and the clinic
performing the examinations, and are accessible, within the limits of the Privacy Act, through written
requests to the general contractor.
