1. 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The NSCC Cedar Springs Road Plane was built beginning in Dec~mber of 1970.
Initially it was operated as Proctor Chemical, a subsidiary of NSCC. The
merger into NSCC took place on January 1, 1983. The plant produces chemicals

for use in textile and furniture industries. Specialty chemicals are also
produced.
The NSCC Cedar Springs Road Plant is located on approximately 465 acres within
the city limits of Salisbury in Rowan County, North Carolina. A vicinity map
is presented on Figure 1. A location map is shown on Figure 2.
The site is situated on saprolitic soils formed in place on top of decomposing
dioritic/gabbroic rocks of Paleozoic age. Near-surface soils are generally
silty clays which extend down co approximately 10 feet. Subsurface soils are
predominately silty sands and
bedrock. Depth to bedrock was
being 40 feet below the ground
burial area.

follows the topographic relief, with ~ower water tables appearing along
the slopes and deeper wat~r ables existing at the top of the hill immediately

ground water ~charge is occurring along the gullies and streams dissecting
the hilly terrain. These springs are probably situated near the saprolite/
bedrock interface.
Surface waters on and directly adjacent to the waste burial,area flow into
' Grants Creek via an unnamed intermittent stream. Directional flow of the

overland runoff west of the waste burial area is southwestecly along several
gullies which dissect the hill and then westward along the ~ntermittent

flow direction into another intermittent stream which flows northwesterly Ir.to
Grants Creek.
The site includes chemical manufacturing facilities, a waste~ate~ treatment I system, treatment lagoons, and approximately two acres of trenches used to

decreased, the trench was filled with excavated soil and a similar trench was
dug a few feet away. This procedure continued until approximately two acres
of land was trenched.
The wastes buried on site include salt brines, sulfuric acid solutions,
sulfonating fats and oils, with deminimus concentrations of heavy metals such
as lead, chromium, zinc, and some organic constituents including triallyl,
ethers, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, 2-methyl-1-pentanol,
methanol, toluene, and xylene.
In 1977 the North Carolina Department of Environmental Man.agem~ conducted a
survey of the site and drilled test borings to determine if contamination had
occurred. The analysis of the ground water sampl0howed higher than normal
background levels of various contaminants, includf g chloride, sodium, iron,
and high levels for specific conducta~J\ It was concludea that the ground
water was contaminated, with potentiartamination of surface waters
indicated.
NSCC conducted additional~pling of six on-site monitoring e✓ells, installed I by NSCC in lf~ in September of 1984. The sar.ipling phase 1analysis shoe✓ed
that organic[.;11tarnination of Well No. 1, which was located in the middle of
the trench area, included toluene, xylenes, 1,2-dichloroet~ane, 1 ,2-
dichloropropane, allyl alcohol, allyl ether, and triethylph,osphate.
Concentration levels of these organic ranged from 0.8 to more than 180 parts
per million (ppm). The analysis also indicated some organi~ contamination in
Wells No. 2 and 3. Both wells are located to the west of the burial mound
area. The well located to the south of the burial area, Well No. 4, indicated
very little or no contamination; but it should be noted that this well is
usually dry. There was no evicence of any organic contamin;:i.ti.or. in Wells No.
5 and 6, both located east of the waste burial mound.

Five residential wells located within two miles of the Cedar Springs Road
Plant were sampled. Analytical results showed no evidence of volatile organic
compounds or priority pollutants.
Well No. 5 was installed immediately downgradient of two holding lagoons
located south of the main plant building. During the summer of 1984, roughly
2000 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed from beneath these lagoons
as they were being lined with concrete. ,he initial scope of the RI/FS is
being expanded to address potential subsurface contamination around these
lagoons.
In July 1986 IT entered into an agreement with NSCC to conduct~I/FS of the
NSCC Cedar Springs Road site, Salisbury, North Carolina. IT wi11 develop and
evaluate remedial action alternatives to mitigate serious environmental
problems evident at the site, prepare risk assessrnr§s of these alternatives,
recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective femedial action alternative,
and develop a conceptual design for th8/\alternative.

• Preparing a conceptual design of the selected remedial action
alternati"Je.
These objectives will be accomplished through an assessment of the existing
conditions by using available data and the results of the remedial
investigation. The remedial investigation will include: 1mapping the site and
' surrounding areas; a geophysical survey; a hydrogeologic Lnvestigation;
geochemical testing of the shallow saturated media; and environmental sampling
and testing of ground water, surface water, and sediment.
The site investigation phase for the RI at the Cedar Springs Road site will
consist of the following: 1
•
Twelve shallow monitoring wells will be l·ns lled: five along the
western portion of the waste burial area, fur al9ng the eastern
side, and three surrounding the lagoon a a. In addition, three deep
bedrock wells will be installed north and west at ,the landfill
area. Exact placement of th~wells will be dete'rmined after the
geophysical survey has de line t ct the nature of th1e conductive/
resistive properties of the reatic zone. Total ~epth of each
shallow well is not expected to exceed 55 feet, with anticipated
water table dept~arying from 10 to 35 feet beneath the ground
surface. Total h of each deep well will be approximately iOO
feet deep. A tw -phase ground water sampling and analysis program
will be performed to determine the degree and exte~t of ground water
con~nation in the vicinity of the Cedar Springs\Road plant.
FivVsediment samples and three surface water samp]es will be
collected from five locations on or adjacent to th~ site. The
surface water samples will be grab samples; sedimen1t samp:es will be
taken from the top 4 inches of sediment. The exac0 locations of
these sa'llples will be determined after a thorough s0rvey of the site
is conducted. i
I All water samples will be analyzed in the field for\ temperature, prl,
and specific conductance. Analytical parameters are outlined in
Table 1a-1d.
Three subsurface soil samples will be collected fro~ the saturated
saprolitic zone for geochemical testing. This testing will define
the geotechnical paramete1·s of the shallow saturated media and
determine its attenuative and adsorptive properties ~hen exposed co
site leachate. The soil samples collected for this ;testing •..;ill be
sent to the IT laboratory in Export, Pennsylvania. All tests will be
conducted at that facility, and all procedures will be in strict
accordance with established ITAS protocols.

Date: 8/29/86
the minimum I
signal that is three
times the background noise. Tables 1a-1d provide a listing of the estimated
' detection limits for organic pollutants.
3.2 DATA PRECISION AND EVALUATION
Precision is a measure of the mutual agreement
of the same property, usually under prescribed
among individual measurements
similar coriditions. The
I
Relative Percent Difference (RPO) parameter will be used to define the
precision between replicate analyses. This parameter is defined in Section I
12.0. The precision objectives for the organic analyses w_ill ~he same as
those estimated by the methodology. Non-homogenous consti1tuent~ in the soil
' samples may produce poor precision in the results.,,3A obje~tives are
presented in Table 2. r
3.3 DATA ACCURACY AND EVALUATION /\
Accuracy is defined as the degree of ape-ement of a measurfment with an
accepted reference or tru~lue. The percent recovery (%fl, determined by
sample spiking, is typica used to define the accuracy of an analytical
procedure. This paramete is defined in Section 12.0. ThJ accuracy
objectives frr}he organic analyses will be the same as thdse established by I the USEPA fo(:.../ts Contract Laboratory Program (CLP). Non-homogenous
I constituents in the soil samples may also affect the percent recovery results, I if the native analytes in the spiked and unspiked aliquots have different I
concentrations. QA objectives are presented in Table 2. I
3.4 COMPLETENESS OF DATA I
Completeness is a measure of the amount of valid data obtained from a
measurement system compared to the amount that was expected\to be obtained
' under correct normal conditions. Over 90 percent of all data obtained on this
I
project should be valid based upon evaluation of the QC data. QA objectives
are presented in Table 2.

representative of the site and free of contaminants from ~ources other than
the immediate environment being sampled. The equipment a~d the techniques
that will be employed to obtain representative, unbiased Jamples will be in
accordance with IT Standard Operating Procedures as discuJsed in Section 5.0
of IT's Engineering Quality Assurance Manual. Section 5.~ of the IT
Engineering Quality Assurance Manual provides information on the advancement
of geotechnical borings and geotechnical sampling and will be used to
supplement this plan as necessary.
An internal technical procedure entitled "Visual ClassificL104f Subsurface
Materials, Classification Log Legend," which describes the\manner in which
information obtained from subsurface borings is r&ded, ~ill also be used on
this project. r
Information obtained from site explor~n activities will be recQrded and
documented in accordance with SR QAP ro-of the_ IT Southeas\t Engineering
Quality Assurance Manual.aequired documentation of field fnvestigation and

5.2 SAMPLE LABELING
Sample labels must contain sufficient information to uniquely identify the
sample in the absence of other documentation. Labels will include as minimum:
Project number
Unique sample number
• Sample location
• Sampling date and time
• Individual collecting the sample
• Preservation method employed. 1
The sample label will always be directly affixed fhe sample container and
will always be completed using indelible ink. An example df the sample label
to be used in this project is presentef>,.n Figure 8.
In addition, IT custody s~ tape will be used on each sampu.e container to
prevent the unauthorized ~~ering or removal of each aliqubt. This tape
be affixed across the container lid in such a manner as to hhow visible
evidence of @ing wnen the lid is utlimately removed.

of equipment, inherent stability, manufacturer's recommendations, values given
in national standards, intended use, and experience. A sutar~ calibration
requirements for certain laboratory instruments is included in lable 3.
Calibrated equipment shall be uniquely identified ~ using \either the
manufacturer's serial number or other means. A 1aJ;"e1 with ~he identification
I number and the date when the next calio/\tion is due will be attached to the
equipment. If this is not possible, rds traceable to t~e equipment will
be readily available for reference.
Scheduled periodic calibrgon of testing equipment does not relieve field or
laboratory pnnnel of the responsibility of employing prop1erly functioning
equipment. t,1/"n individual suspects an equipment malfuncti\on, he shall
remove the device from service, tag it so it is not inadvert~ntly used, and
I notify the PM so that recalibration can be performed or substitute equipment
can be obtained.
6.2 CALIBRATION rAILURES
Equipment that fails calibration or becomes inoperable during use will be
removed from service and either segregated to prevent inadver\tent use, or
tagged to indicate it is out of calibration. Such equipment will be repaired
and recalibrated or replaced as appropriate.

12.0 SPECIFIC ROUTINE PROCEDURES USED TO ASSESS DATA PRECISION,
ACCURACY, AND COMPLETENESS
The following discussion describes the procedures that w~ll be employed to
evaluate the precision, accuracy, and completeness of thJ\ chemical test data
generated during the investigation. Accuracy is assessed by splitting a
sample into two portions, spiking, (i.e., adding a known quantity of the
constituents of interest to one of the portions), and the~ analyzing both
portions for these parameters. The difference in the con1entration levels of
the constitutents of interest should be equal to the quan~ity of the spike
added to one of the two portions. The actual 7,R is calcu~ated as follows:
1,R = WC/6C 2 X 100% 1
where 6C is the measured concentration increase d~o spiking and 6Cs is the
known increase due to the spike. One hundred 7,R :i6 equivalent to 100 percent
accuracy. The coefficient of variatio~Cv) of the 7,R val~es is calculated as
follows: r
r< Cv = ~~R X 1007,
SD is the stfnTIJ'-rd deviation of the percent recoveries for the various spiked
constitutentv-id A2R is the average or mean 1,R.
Precision is assessed by conducting separate analyses of the duplicate
samples. A measure of the agreement in the reported values \for the two
portions is obtained by calculating the relative percent di~ferer.ce (RPO) in
the concentration levels of each constituent, where

I The purpose of this task is to characterize the near surface site geology ~nd
the horizontal and vertical extent of contamination at the site. The
exploration is planned to consist of the installation of 15 monitoring wells
at the site. A qualified hydrogeologist will develop boring logs frcm the
drilling and coordinate all field activities.

3. 1 MON ITO RING WELLS
The 15 monitoring wells will be drilled to depths of 50 to 100 feet, or as
necessary to define the near surface geology and intercept the aquifer of
concern. The final depth of the borings will be determined in~ field.
Consideration will be given to the existence of coarse-grained ~oils or
fractured fine-grained soils (which could act as migration pathways for
contaminants) and the homogeneity and continuity o6he site stratigraphy.
Proposed boring locations are shown in Figure 1. r
The boreholes will be advanced with 6-~ hollow-stem augers. Split-spoon
samples will be collected~r m each monitoring well borehole at selected
intervals for visual soil ssification purposes. These inter,,als will be
selected based on anticip ted lithologic change, suspected zones of possible

Sediment samples will be collected from the upper 4 inches at each location
using a shovel and stainless-steel spoon or a stainless-steel scoop. After
collecting each sample, the sampling team will record the location, sample
number, date, time, sampling personnel, and weather conditions in the field
log. Decontamination of sampling equipment will be required between sampling
locations and consist of the procedures detailed in Section 3.4.
3.3 SUBSURFACE SOIL
Three subsurface soil samples will be collected and sent to ITAS-Export,
Pennsylvania for geochemical testing. This geochemical testing will involve
three Shelby tube samples taken from a known uncontaminated area near existing

zone.
3.4 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
The drilling rig and associated tools will be decontaminated before entering
the site and will be cleaned between borings. All drilling equipment will be
decontaminated between boreholes to prevent cross contamination. The drill
rig should be cleaned as described below:
•
•
The engine and power head should be cleaned with a power washer or
steam jenny, or hand washed with a brush and deterge~, t oes not have
to be laboratory detergent but should not be a degre r) to remove
oil, grease, and hydraulic fluid from the exterior of he unit.
These units should be rinsed thoroughly with tap water.
All auger flights, auger bits, drilling rro:;;:, drill bits, hollow-stem
augers, split-spoon samplers, Shelby tubf, _or other parts of the
drilling equipment that will contact the soil or ground water should
be cleaned as outlined below:(\
-Wash equipment thoroughly~ laboratory detergent and hot wayer

equipment thoroughly with deionized water
equipment with solvent and allow to air dry
-Rinse the stainless steel or metal sampling equipment thoroughly
with tap water in the field as soon as possible after use.
The drill rig will also be inspected for any leakage of hydraulic fluid, oil,
1when this sampling equipment is used to collect samples that contain oil,
grease, or other hard to remove materials, it may be necessary to rinse the
equipment several times with pesticide grade acetone or hexane to remove the
materials before proceeding with the first step. In extreme cases, when
equipment is painted, badly rusted, or coated with materials that are
difficult to remove, it may be necessary to steam clean, wire brush, or
sandblast equipment proceeding with the first step. Any stainless steel
sampling equipment that cannot be cleaned using these procedures should be
discarded.

brought to the drilling site. Once the drill rig is brought to the site, it
will be assumed that the surface soils are contaminated and no equipment will
be set down on the ground where it could be contaminated. Clean plastic
sheeting, aluminum foil, or cardboard w·ill be placed on the ground to provide
a work surface for each hole.
The materials that will enter the borehole (augers, rods, etc.) will be
carefully cleaned as outlined above. The sample split spoons used for visual
soil classification will be decontaminated after each sampling drive using the
same procedure. 1 All surface sampling equipment will be decontaminated following the above
described procedure after each sample is collected(
Drilling personnel will wear approprit!:t protective cloching as required by
the Health and Safety Plan. These mea swill not only protect the driller,
but will also protect the hole from c oss contamination. All protective
equipment (gloves, boots, rQ.) will be decontaminated before reuse or
disposal, using the proce<hir~ outlined earlier.
The drill rioools, and other drilling equipment will be cleaned before
leaving the site.
3.5 LOCATING UTILITY LINES
This section outlines the provisions IT will use for identifying and locating
utility lines, buried pipe, and miscellaneous equipment which may be
contaminated, and for determining the extent of contamination.
To locate the placement of utilities, sewers, and various other buried objects I on plant grounds, the plant foreman or superintendent 1,ill be contacted to
review the plant's as-built drawings. The foreman will also help lT personnel

stake, mark, or otherwise identify the underground objects near the proposed
soil boring locations. This will be done to minimize accidental uncovering or
damage to the utilities during drilling operations. In addition, the local

public works department and utility companies will be contacted to ascertain
the location of existing municipal utilities and electric, gas, and telephone
lines that may be buried in the area. This information would be applicable to
both on-site and off-site plant grounds. If it is necessary to ezoose
portions of these utilities during drilling, a representative of the
particular utility company will be requested to be present. The
representative will witness the location and condition of the uncovered
utility, as well as provide positive identification. The locations of buried
utilities and other objects will be presented in the RI report.
3. 6 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED SOIL AND WATER
It is not anticipated that water will be used in the drilling ~cess.
Therefore, disposal of contaminated recirculation water is not 4f concern
during this phase of the project.
During drilling and sampling operations, contamin£ soil, disposable health
and safety gear, and water from decont'f'{nation efforts will be generated.
The total amount of contaminated mater~ produced is expected to be
relatively small. The cu~gs will be drummed and moved to a central area on
the site. Water from the~ontamination processes will be discarded near
point where the boreholes are drilled. Disposable safety equipment (i.e.,
the
booties, gloyes'j outer coverings) will ~e decontaminated and disposed of with
other solid ~es generated by the plant.

7.0 FIELD DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURES
7. 1 SITE LOCATION PROCEDURE
Following identification of boring and surface soil sampling sites, a wooden
stake (approximately 2 inches by 2 inches by 24 inches) will be driven into
the ground, allowing approximately 8 to 10 inches of the stake to remain
visible aboveground. The top portion of the stake will be painted orange and
labeled for identification. The label will contain the sample location number
and type. The location of each stake may be recorded by use of a transit and
stadia rod.
7.2 PHOTOGRAPHS ~
Photographs will be taken of each sampling site to show the suriounding area
and the objects used to locate the site. The picture nlli~ber and roll number
(if more than one roll of film is used) will be l~d on the field activity
daily log to identify which sampling site is depi(ted in the photograph. The
film roll will be identified by takin~photograph of an informational sign
on the first frame of the roll. This · n will have the job and film roll
numbers written on it so as to identi y the pictures contained on the roll.
