Dear Barry:
Following our discussion yesterday morning, I talked to Mr. Bill Meyer
concerning the 480 voltage vs. the 480/277 voltage for the lines going to the
PCB Landfill in Warren County. Mr. Meyer said to put in the 480/277 voltage
wires with three transformers using the closed delta system. This should meet
the needs of any of the pilot scale projects as well as any future full-scale
cleanup of the landfill.
Thank you for your assistance and patience with this project.
Sincerely,
/M:;~

Dioxin produced and released during September 1993 BCD test
Koppers NPL Site
Morrisville, Wake County
This memo is being prepared to respond to your request for a concise description and
documentation of the dioxin that was produced and released during the BCD test at the Koppers
site in September 1993 . The following documentation was given to me by Terry Lyons of the
SITE program during a presentation Mr. Lyons made to EPA Region IV personnel on
December 1, 1994.
Seven soil tests were run during the demonstration and about 15 tons of soil were treated.
Testing parameters were varied during the demonstration. Table 1 shows the parameters that
were varied .
The most toxic dioxin is 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Before-and-after-treatment soil results for dioxin
are shown in Table 2. The amount of 2,3,7,8-TCDD increased in test runs 1 and 2. (For
example, input soils for test run 1 were below detection limits for 2,3, 7,8-TCDD and output soils
averaged about 11 ug/kg.) The levels of2,3,7,8-TCDD for runs 4 through 7 were all below
detection and no conclusions about the creation or destruction of2,3,7,8-TCDD can be made.
Because of the way the data was collected, exactly how much dioxin was released to the
atmosphere during the demonstration is unknown. Mass-balance calculations suggest that a total
of0.3 grams of dioxin was released to the atmosphere during the demonstration (Table 3). How
much of this estimate is 2,3, 7,8-TCDD, I do not know.
A high-volume filter air monitor device used during the demonstration detected 1.59e-04
ng/dscm 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 8.39e-06 2,3,7,8-TCDF. These results are shown in Table 4.

FEB O 8 :0~6
Enclosed is the approval document permitting Soiltech in
conjunction with the North Carolina Division of Solid Waste
Management to conduct research and development (R&D) on the
disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 is issuing this R&D
approval pursuant to 40 CFR § 761.60(e) under the authority of
the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-469).
This approval is effective on the date it is signed and is good
for one year.
The R&D studies will be conducted at the Warren County PCB
Landfill located in Warren County, North Carolina. Soiltech will
use its bench scale Anaerobic Thermal Process/Base Catalyzed

APPROVAL TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TESTS
TO DISPOSE OF POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs)
SoilTech ATP Systems, Inc., in conjunction with
North Carolina Division of Solid Waste Management
Warren County, North Carolina
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES INVOLVING THE REMOVAL OF PCBs
FROM SOILS WITH A BASE-CATALYZED DECHLORINATION PROCESS
This approval is issued to SoilTech ATP Systems, Inc.,
(SoilTech) of Porter, Indiana and to the North Carolina Division
of Solid Waste Management, (NCDSWM) to conduct Research and
Development (R&D) tests on the use of the Alberta Taciuk Process
(ATP), a high-temperature anaerobic thermal desorption process
and base-catalyzed dechlorination (BCD) for disposal/treatment of
PCB contaminated soils at the Warren County, North Carolina PCB
Landfill. This project will be used to evaluate the
appropriateness and feasibility of ATP/BCD technology for full-
scale disposal/treatment of PCB-contaminated soil contained
within the Warren County PCB Landfill .
Authority
This approval to conduct R&D into PCB disposal is issued
pursuant to Section 6(e) (1) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
of 1976 (TSCA), Public Law No. 94-469, and the Federal PCB
Regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 761.60(e), (Federal Register, 13185,
March 30, 1983).
Effective Dates
This R&D approval will become effective on the date of
signature and will expire one year after the date of signature.
Proposed Tests
The R&D tests will be conducted at the Warren County PCB
Landfill site. SoilTech will test less than 500 pounds of PCB
contaminated soil over a two to three week period. Soil will be
processed through the treatment unit in 10 to 15 pound batches.
The average concentration of PCBs in the soil is approximately
350 parts per million (ppm) with a range of 150 ppm to 900 ppm.
The concentration of PCBs in the treated soil is expected to be
less than 2 ppm. All process wastes will be analyzed for PCBs
prior to disposal.
SoilTech will use ATP testing equipment developed by UMATAC
in conjunction with BCD technology to thermally separate and
dechlorinate the PCB contaminated soil. The UMATAC test unit to
be used in this ·pilot study is a bench-scale model of SoilTech's
full scale ATP unit. The unit consists of a rotary heating unit
processor (drum), primary and secondary condensers, air pollution
control devices (impinger type gas trap and carbon filters) and
monitoring instrumentation. Heat input to the drum comes from
electric heating elements installed on the outside of the steel
shell.
During treatability test runs, BCD chemicals will be mixed
with the batch samples prior to being placed in the drum. The
BCD reaction takes place as the soil is mixed and heated in the
drum. Each batch will be slowly rotated in the drum for
approximately 30 minutes, at temperatures in the range of
900 -1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot vapors evolved in the drum
flow through a rotary seal to two condenser tubes (primary and
secondary), connected in series, which are externally cooled by
cold water circulation. Condensed liquids drain by gravity to a
collector vessel, which accumulates the water and organic liquids
and allows the gases to disengage. Gases exiting the secondary
condenser pass through a gas filter trap (impinger), a wet test
gas flow meter and dual phase carbon filters before being vented
to the atmosphere or collected in a TedlarN bag for sampling.
Business Confidentiality
Pursuant to the regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B (41
Federal Register, 39997, September 8, 1978), SoilTech is entitled
to make a business confidentiality claim covering any information
submitted under this R&D approval. If such a confidentiality
claim is not asserted with any submission, EPA may make this
information available to the public without further notice.
Information subject to a business confidentiality claim may be
made available to the public only to the extent set forth in the
above cited regulations. Any such claim for confidentiality must
conform to the requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 2.203(b).
Liability
The issuance of this R&D approval does not release SoilTech
or NCDSWM from any liability for damage to persons or property
caused by or resulting from the operation or maintenance of
equipment covered by this approval. The conditions of this
approval are enforceable under TSCA and its implementing
regulations, 40 CFR Part 761. Any actions which violate the
terms of this approval, TSCA, or the regulations may result in
administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement by EPA in
accordance with Section 16 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. Part 2615.

Findings
1. This permit is specifically for the treatment of no more
than 500 pounds (227 kilograms) of PCB contaminated soil. In
addition to the PCB contaminated feed soil, process condensate
and condensate-entrained fines may be recirculated back through
the treatment process.
2. All tests will be conducted at the Warren County PCB
Landfill site in Warren County, North Carolina. Materials
handling, test unit operations and monitoring programs are
designed to prevent and control spills and minimize the potential
for hazardous materials exposure to workers and the general
population.
3. The SoilTech ATP process has been tested at other
hazardous waste sites at pilot and full scale and reduced PCB
concentrations in treated materials to below EPA standards.
Because of waste variability from site to site, it is necessary
and appropriate to conduct site specific testing at the pilot or
bench scale to confirm process effectiveness and safety prior to
treatment of Warren County PCB Landfill soil at full scale.
4. Flue gases from the ATP test unit at the Warren County
PCB Landfill will be purged through dual carbon filters prior to
release to the atmosphere. The State of North Carolina will also
conduct perimeter air monitoring at the site. Therefore,
pursuant to 40 CFR Part 761.60(e) EPA finds that the SoilTech R&D
project (when operated in accordance with the approved permit
application and under the conditions described below) does not
pose an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the
environment.
Conditions of Approval
1. Advance Notification: SoilTech shall provide the EPA
Region 4 with a thirty (30) day advance written notification of
intent to start operating the R&D project.
2. Other Approvals or Permits: Prior to commencing the
tests, SoilTech must obtain any necessary federal, state or local
permits or approvals. During the course of the testing, SoilTech
shall comply with all conditions and requirements of such permits
or approvals. Copies of such permits must be forwarded to EPA,
Region 4, within five days of the start of the testing.
3. Feedstock Quality and Restrictions: The PCBs to be used
in the thermal desorption and BCD experiments are limited to
samples of PCB contaminated soils taken from the adjacent Warren
County PCB Landfill. The total quantity of PCB waste feed to be
treated under this approval is less than 500 pounds. In
addition, SoilTech is permitted to treat certain process wastes
3
(condensate, air and water pollution control residuals) generated
as part of this R&D approval by the ATP/BCD treatability tests.
SoilTech may request modifications to these restrictions,
with appropriate justification. Requests should be submitted to
the Director, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division
(APTMD) of EPA Region 4.
4. Feed Soil and Process Waste Characterization: Feed soil
for testing and all process wastes generated by the ATP/BCD
process must be characterized as follows:
a. At a frequency of one composite sample per series
(Series= SO pounds), feed soil shall be tested for
PCBs, grain size, moisture content (percent solids),
and BTU value.
b. Process wastes that must be characterized for disposal
include: treated/coked solids, liquid phase carbon
filter media, vapor phase carbon filter media, treated
aqueous condensate and spent solvents used for
equipment cleaning. Any process intermediaries,
including oily condensate and, sludge from oxidation
treatment of aqueous condensate, must also be
characterized prior to disposal or recirculation
through the ATP/BCD unit. Each waste stream must be
sampled at least once except for treated/coked solids
which shall be sampled and tested at a once-per-series
frequency. At a minimum, all wastes shall be analyzed
for PCBs.
c. Any process wastes, whether treated or not, that are to
be disposed of on-site at the Warren County PCB
Landfill following completion of the tests shall also
be analyzed for the following compounds:
PCDFs, polychlorinated dibenzofurans
PCDDs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins
TCDFs, tetrachlorinated dibenzofurans

s. Exhaust Emissions Monitoring: Flue gases shall be
sampled at the frequency and by the methods specified in
SoilTech's R&D Permit Application dated October 26, 1995, as
amended on January 17, 1996, except as modified herein.
a. The first Tedlarm bag in the flue gas sampling train
described in Section 6.3 and depicted in Inset A,
Figure 1 in the Permit Application shall be eliminated.
A Teflonm diaphragm pump, as depicted in the referenced
4
I •
figure, may be used in the sampling train if needed to
compensate for pressure losses across the sampling
train. Other sampling configurations may be allowed if
approved by EPA in writing.
b. Flue gas samples shall be tested for the following
parameters:
02, oxygen co, carbon monoxide
CO2 , carbon dioxide

total TCDFs and TCDDs and total PCDFs and PCDDs.
6. Process waste Handling and Disposal: SoilTech shall
dispose of all waste generated during the R&D studies which have
been found to contain 2 ppm or more PCBs or 3 ppb or more PCBs
for aqueous waste, as calculated by comparison to an external
standard homolog peak having the nearest retention time to each
appropriate PCB peak to be quantified, in an off-site PCB
disposal facility approved by EPA under 40 CFR Part 761. EPA
approved sampling and analytical methods for PCBs in different
media (water, solids, and oil) must be used by SoilTech in making
such determinations (note: sampling and analytical methods listed
in SoilTech's R&D Permit Application dated October 26, 1995, are
considered "EPA approved" for this purpose).
7. Process Monitoring/Recording: Provisions must be made
to ensure that the following process elements are suitably
monitored and recorded for each batch of PCB contaminated
material processed:
a. The weight of soil feed charged into the SoilTech ATP
retort unit.
b. The weight and volume of any condensate or sludge that
is recirculated through the ATP retort unit.
c. The weight of treated/coked solids removed from the
treatment unit.
5
d. volume and weight of condensate produced.
e. volume of gas produced as measured by the wet test gas
flow meter.

Public Information Officer
SUBJECT: Letter of Entry and Right of Easement/PCB Landfill
Attached is the information that I received from Barry Davis concerning
power lines to the PCB Landfill. As I mentioned in our telephone conversation
today, Barry needs a "Letter of Entry" and "Right of Easement" to proceed. You
indicated that it was too late to get the "Right of Easement" on the calendar for
the Council of State meeting in February, but that we could get on for the
March meeting. Is that something that comes from your shop, or do you need
anything from us?
I did leave a message for Barry telling him that Bill wants the power lines
to go all the way to the corner of the chainlink fence near the gate. Barry didn't
know that at the time he made the drawings.
Tommy, thanks for your help with this. Give me a buzz if we can be of
service. I'm at 733-4996, ext. 337.

RE: Electrical Services to the Warren County PCB Landfill
Dear Ms. Williamson:
Enclosed is a DIS drawing showing the proposed 3 phasing of the power line serving the area of
the PCB landfill. The section highlighted in yellow is the spans of line that will require the
additional phasing. The blue section is the line that will need to be constructed to the site itself.
I reviewed the option of extending the power from the property of Mr. Earl Limer, this option
would not be ideal for a 3 phase line due to access and the clearing of the new right of way.
Right of way for the new line has been secured from property owner L.B. Falkner. Robert
Johnson, our Land Agent, is meeting with the Warren County Commissioners on the February
21 meeting to secure right of way across their property. CP&L may need right of way from the
state, but can begin with a "Letter of Entry" issued from North Carolina if needed.
Once I receive the electrical load information from the company that needs the service, I will be
able to determine if I need to extend 2 conductors or 3 conductors for the required 3 phase
service. The earlier estimate of $60,000.00 includes extending all 3 conductors. This cost
estimate will provide service to the site about 120' before the chain link fenced area. If power is
required to another location, an additional contribution may be required.
Again, after I get the load requirements, all rights of ways secured and the contribution paid,
CP&L can begin construction of the facilities.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at 919-438-1948.

RE: Electrical Service for R&D Project on Warren County PCB Landfill
Dear Tony and Steve:
The Division of Solid Waste Management has requested Carolina Power & Light
Company (CP&L) to design a utility system to supply the electrical resources needed for the
R&D studies on the PCB landfill. Mr. Barry Davis of CP&L needs specific information in order
to design the utility system. This information is needed in order to determine the size of the
transformer and the type of connection to the electrical system. This required information
includes:
1. . What is the specific system voltage for the project?
2. Does the electrical system for the project require a 3 or 4 wire supply?
3. What is the specific Kw breakdown (horsepower of motors, starting system,
number of motors)?
4. List all equipment that may be operating on the site, including hydraulically
operated equipment.
Time will be required to construct the electrical system (approximately 4 miles and right-
of-way acquisition). In order to ensure minimum delay for initiating the project I suggest that this
information be submitted as soon as possible and/or call Mr. Barry Davis at [phone].

RE: Electrical Service for R&D Project on Warren County PCB Landfill
Dear Tony and Steve:
The Division has requested Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) to provide electrical service
consisting of 480V 3 phase, 4 wire to the PCB landfill. CP&L has requested a complete electrical
break-down of all electrical devices, such as horsepower and number, required for the projects.
This infonnation will be used to ensure that surges or flickering within the electrical supply is
minimized as an up-front design factor. Any additional infonnation that would assist in
addressing surges/flickering in electrical supply that you are aware of would also be of assistance.
Please submit this information to the Division as soon as possible.
If you have any questions please contact me or Pat Williamson at [phone].
Sincerely,
~;/-JJJ~J,J

Bill--
I talked to Barry Davis with CP&L again yesterday. Here are the
questions that you need to ask the vendors:
1) Is your system 480V-277?
2) Is your system 3-wire or 4-wire?
3) What is your kw load breakdown (ie., horsepower of motors)?
4) What kind of equipment will be operating at the site (ie., equipment
powered by hydraulics, oven, etc.)
Barry needs to know the above information to determine the size of the
transformers.
The panel/receptacle issue is unknown until the equipment is
determined.
Meter determination will be up to the facilities. It also depends on their
proximity to each other.
Barry said the rule of thumb for power line installation is about one mile
per week. He would expect to have power at the landfill site in about 45-60
days depending on the weather and right of way.
If you have questions or need more help, let me know.

SUBJECT: Air Permit Requirements
PCB Landfill
Warren County
Air Quality Section (AQS) representatives met with Bill Meyer, Director of the Division of
Solid Waste Management on January 4, 1996 to discuss the necessity of an air permit for the
proposed pilot test detoxification studies of the PCB landfill. Based on the information presented
to the AQS, it does not appear that an air permit is required for this project However, due to the
sensitive nature of this facility and the potential for dioxin formation during the proposed pilot tests
the AQS recommends that a permit to emit toxic air pollutants be required for this proposal, under
the authority of the Director's discretion of 15A NCAC 2O.0610(i).
The objectives of this permit review would be:
1. assess the potential for diox1Q formation. (Based on the proposed quantities of
material to be treated and the proposed method of removing the test soils,
sufficient quantities of soil may not be available to detect the dioxin);
2. assess the potential for PCB emissions;
3. identify other pollutants of concern;
4. establish baseline data (existing conditions prior to the pilot test); and
5. assess whether the proposed soil collection procedure will result in representative
samples of the landfill material.
The AQS recommends that a meeting be held as soon as possible with the contractors
identified to conduct the pilot tests and members of the Division of Solid Waste Management.
The AQS participants would include members of the Raleigh Regional Office and the Ambient,
Technical Services and Air Permits Branch.
This project is of extreme importance to the State of North Carolina. Please advise me
of your decision as to whether you agree to call for a permit application under 15A NCAC
20.061 O(i) as quickly as possible.

RE: Volume of Soil Estimated in the PCB Landfill
The approximate volume of soil in the PCB landfill has been calculated. There is
approximately 36,500 cubic yards of material in the landfill. Assuming an average weight of
1.5 tons per cubic yard, there are approximately 54,750 tons of material in the landfill.
The volume and weight of the wet and dry soil that may be available was determined. The
amount of wet and dry soils in the landfill are conservatively estimated as:
Volume of Dry Soil-21,500 cubic yards
Volume of Wet ~~)il-15,000 cubic yards
METHODOLOGY
The average-end-area method of calculating the volume was employed. This method tends to
over estimate the actual volume, so it should represent a maximum amount of soil in the
landfill. The supplied drawings were consulted. It was assumed that the final contours were as
depicted and that the grading plan was the subgrade. Five feet were subtracted from the top
elevations to account for the closure cap system, and 7 feet were added to the grading plan
elevations to account for the leak detection layer, clay barrier layer and leachate collection
system. Seven cross sections were chosen and the geometry plotted. Given the simple nature
of this design we were able to determine the area of right triangles. These areas were summed
and multiplied by two to account for the entire cross section of the landfill. The volume of soil
was estimated using the following formula:
V = L (Al+ A2)/ 2 (27ft3 per yd3)
The weight of the soil was conservatively estimated by assuming that the soil has a unit weight
of 1.5 tons per cubic yard.The cross sections and calculations are attached.
Water level measureme:~•' in the landfill are available from two measi_ 1.t ment points, the
leachate sump pipe and the gas vent well. The water level readings from the two points were
obtained and translated into an elevation. The two measurements are within six inches of each

other. The top nineteen feet (at the maximum point of the landfill) is dry, and the maximum
depth of saturated soil is ten feet.
The approximate volume and weight of soil which may be recovered from four cased wells,
each two feet in diameter was also determined. The wells were assumed to be evenly spaced
across the flat bottom portion of the landfill (i.e. no wells were located over sideslope
portions). Each well could yield :
Volume of soil in two foot diameter well,-91.11 cubic feet
Dry Weight of soil per well-89.48 pounds per cubic foot
Total Dry Weight of Soil from four wells -4 tons per well
The soil was assumed to have a dry denisty of 111 pounds per cubic foot. The weight of
saturated soil was adjusted to its dry weight equivalent. The adjusted density per well is 89 .48
pounds per cubic foot.
LIMITATIONS
•
The information and numbers generated herein are based upon commonly accepted engineering
methods. All of the drawings and measurements have been supplied by others and the resulting
information is as correct as the data supplied to us. The actual conditions and amount of
saturated and unsaturated soil within the landfill may vary, dependent upon the variance of the
actual conditions in the landfill. A reasonable dry weight and density of the soil was assumed
for computational purposes; the actual soil is highly variable.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call on us .

Dear Tony and Steve:
ir1·,l\
rzwwwz --0 a n
DEHNA
The Division of Solid Waste Management (Division) is attempting to identify any issue that might
delay the review and implementation of the R&D projects for the Warren County PCB landfill.
The Division has identified some issues that may cause delays. Two of these are preparation of
feed soils and monitoring/analysis of the treatment process and residuals.
It's essential that specific volume and optimum moisture content of feed soils be submitted to the
Division. Since untreated soils cannot be returned to the PCB landfill, all excavated soils will
have to be treated. In order to ensure that only the volume/weight of soils needed are excavated,
the Division must know the exact amount of soils needed for the project. At present the Division
plans to make 10,000 pounds available to ETG/Aquaterra and 500 pounds to SoilTech. The
Division will issue a contract, through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, to an
engineering/construction company for excavation, storage and delivering of feed soils to both
projects. Specific knowledge of the volume of feed soils is essential for the RFP. It is anticipated
that 18-24" bore holes will be utilized to excavate PCB contaminated soils from the landfill. Each
bore hole will have a limited volume for excavation primarily based on depth of bore. The
location and number of bore holes will be determined by the volume of soils. Ifno alternation of
the current estimated volume of soils is received by the Division, 10,000 pounds will be excavated
for ETG/Aquaterra and 500 pounds for SoilTech. All excavated soils must be treated once
excavated.
The PCB soil moisture content is another factor of consideration. The landfill contains both dry
and saturated soils. Blending of wet and dry soils may suffice for providing representative
PCB/soil for treatment. However, depending upon the sensitivity of the process to moisture
content, additional drying such as gravity drainage, belt filter process, or heating may be required.

Again in order to draft an RFP the Division needs to know the optimum moisture content of feed
soils. It is the intent of the division to supply a representative volume at optimum moisture
content to both treatment processes. The Division needs this information in order to draft an RFP
as soon as possible to avoid delays in implementing the project, if approved by EP A/f SCA
SoilTech and ETG/ Aquaterra should be aware that dioxins and furans, in addition to PCB's, are a
concern to the Division and the Working Group. Sampling and analysis plans must consider
dioxin and furan constituents input or feed soils; all intermediate condensates, liquids, solids; flue
or stack gases and treated residual soils. Both treatment processes will be required to use EPA
method 23 and impingement sampling devices for stack/flue emission testing. Analysis will be
required to be in accordance with method 8290 for tetra-octa dioxins and furans. It is assumed
that there will be a parallel decrease in dioxin/furan constituents relative to PCB destruction. If
this does not occur, it may be a major consideration for the full scale process. If there are any
questions or if this needs clarification, please notify the Division.
One purpose of the R&D project is to determine the applicability and feasibility of BCD for a full-
scale process. A part of the determination for a full-scale process is the volume and
characteristics of any materials that will require off-site management. Both vendors should be
aware that the R&D projects must provide a accurate analysis of the volume and characteristic of
all potential off-site residuals.
The Division will facilitate an air quality permit if it is required for the R&D project. Please notify
the Division if your experience with similar projects in North Carolina or other states have
required an air quality permit. The Division will submit information on the R&D project to the air
quality section in the Department for determination of the applicability of a N.C. air quality
permit.
The Division is enclosing comments and responses on the issues raised by EP A/f SCA for this
project. Please review our comments and respond to the Division. The Division is attempting to
provide a quick response to issues raised on this project. In order to ensure the most rapid
response, it would probably be more appropriate to initiate a process of conference calls to
vendors and EPA. The Division thinks this is both better and quicker then trading paper back and
forth. If you agree please let me know. Ifl can be of any assistance or you need clarification
please notify me.
Sincerely,

Dear Stewart:
RA

As you are aware, the State of North Carolina is committed to evaluating BCD as a technology
to detoxify the Warren County PCB Landfill. We appreciate your assistance in this important
project.
Enclosed are 2 copies of each of the proposed BCD Pilot Scale/Bench Scale Applications for
alternatives for disposal of PCB contaminated soils from the North Carolina Warren County
PCB Landfill. The Division of Solid Waste Management (Division) will work with you to
facilitate a final response decision on these applications within an approximate 90 day schedule.
If any additional information is needed please contact the applicants directly and copy the
Division.
A major concern of the Division is monitoring chemical events in the proposed process. The
primary chemical concern is generation of dioxins and the process, or specific element of the
process, that results in that generation. The fate of dioxins including accumulation in residuals
and air emissions are major interests. It is the Divisions perspective that PCB's can be
effectively reduced to below the 2ppm PCB requirement. However, if there is an increase in
dioxins, especially in residuals to be left on site, it is questionable if BCD is a appropriate
technology for detoxification. The Division would appreciate careful consideration of this

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Meyer
FROM: Pat Williamson
SUBJECT: Electricity at PCB Landfill
I contacted Barry Davis with the CP&L office in Henderson and requested
that he provide us with written estimates of 240V / 1 phase/ 200 Amps and
480V / 3 phase/ 600 Amps to the chainlink fence line of the landfill. Barry said
he would try to get that started this week. He will be on vacation next week, so
it may be the second week in October before we hear more from him. If this is
a problem, Barry said to let him know and he would try to get someone else to
work on it while he is gone.
The estimate that Barry gives us will be on the higher side to begin with
because CP&L gives revenue credit depending on the equipment used at the
landfill. I told Barry that we didn't have the answer to that right now. Barry
said our revenue credit would probably be in the $1,000 -$2,000 range,
possibly more.
I also asked Barry to tell us how long it would take to string both types of
service and how much advance notice CP&L needs to to provide the service.

There is currently only single phase service in the area of the landfill. To
get three phase service would require going about 2 1/2 to 3 miles to Highway
401. Adding 2 more hot wires would be expensive, and he didn't have an
estimate on that now. Barry didn't really think we'd want to do that because it
would be so expensive.
He said that the single phase service that is available along SR 1604 is
120/240 V, 1 phase, and 200 Amps (could probably handle 400-600 Amps). It
would take about 8-10 poles to run the single phase service from SR 1604,
depending on where at the landfill you wanted the service. Barry said he did
an estimate for Bobby Lutfy and Bob Glaser about 3 years ago and the cost at
that time was approximately $12,000.
Barry said that he would be glad to help us any way that he could. He
will be on vacation next week, but will be in this week and after next week.

Pilot Scale Test of the
ETG Base Catalyzed Decomposition (BCD) System
McCormick & Baxter Site
Stockton, California
Attached is an EPA memo discussing the results of a BCD pilot study conducted by ETG
in Stockton, California. The test was terminated after problems developed with air emissions.
Apparently hydrocarbons were leaving the oil scrubber, bypassing the water scrubber and
escaping to the atmosphere. Ambient air monitors detected dioxin levels considerably higher
than the North Carolina annual guideline.
Based on discus:. "'ns with EPA, the system at Stockton was muc ·, smaller than the
system used for the Kor r~· rs study in 1993. The hydrocarbon bypass th.: .. hampered the Stockton
test may be a function of the system size. The problem may have been minimized at Koppers
because the larger water scrubbers separated the oil scrubber from the stack. However, with
continual operation over days or weeks, the Koppers system may develop the same problem as
the Stockton system. Oil may bypass the water scrubber and escape through the stack.
For full-scale operations at Koppers, ETG proposed leaving the oil scrubber out of the
system. This would keep oil from leaving the system, however, what would trap the dioxin?
For BCD studies in North Carolina, I recommend that the oil scrubber be left in the
system and that dioxin be monitored at the stack throughout the study period. If a full scale
system is used, periodic dioxin monitoring at the stack should be a part of the operation
throughout the project.

BAOICGROUND.
Tha McCormick & Baxter site operated from 1942 until October
1991, when operations .oea9ad. Va~ious wood treatment chemicals were used including ammoniac~l .oopper arsenate, ammoniac.al copper zinc arsenate, creosote, pentachlbrophenol (PCP) in oil and
oellon.
Tne contaminants of concern at the site ar$:
PCDD/PCOF
pentaohlorophenol (PCP)

copper (Cu)
chromium (CR)
zlnc (Zn)
o~eosot• oompounds

The Environmental Responaa Team (ERT) as part of their continuing
technical support to Region IX tasked Roy P. We~ton, Inc. under
the Response Engineering and Analytical Contract (REAC), to
conduct a medium t~mperature thermal desorption/base catalyzed
decomposition (MTTD/BCO) pilot scale study. REAC, in turn, contracted ETG to provide the equipmant and personnel to perform the actual test. Weston corporate was chosen to perform the
stack tasting, while REAC performed the ambient air. sampling.
Process sampling was performed by ICF Kaiser Engineers through
Region IX, and quick turn-around analysis was arranged by PRC through ORD. '
The purpose of the study was to perform pilot-scale testini of~
MTTD/BCD treatment syat~m, to pr~vido the necessary information
to make remediation recommendationa for full-soale remedial

was to aid in the en9inaarin9 desi9n of the t~aat•ant ~ystem,
including soil feed equipment, air pollution oontrol equipment,

QUICK TURN-AROUND SAMP:t.ING.
Due to the high toxicity of PCDD/PCDD's, it was decided that a
quick turn-around stack and aoii ~ample would be taken durin9 the
tirBt teot run ot the ~tud~ (6 teat run& in total were.
scheduled). The unit was to be ahut down until these sample
results were obtained, and the decision on continuing the te~t
would be based on these results. Since it was impossible to get
quick turn-around (48 hours) on a Method i3 staok aample for
PCDO/PCDF, it wcs dccidod to u~e Q moditied cunbient method to
obtain a quick turn-around stack sample. Tbis sampie was
collected using General Metal works PS-1 high volume titted with
a 3-inch diameter polyurethane foam {PUF) plu9. The sample was
placed in the top of the a,t~ck. · tte11c:e:f0rth, t.hiis isampl~ will b~
reterred .to as the PUF sample to ditterentiate it trom the method
23 sample, referred to as the 6tack sample.
PCDD/PCD~ AlR l!iMI6SlON RBGULATIONS
At this time, there ·are no known PCDD/PCDF air emission
re9ulations for haza~dous waste treatment units. Th•~• are
proposed re9ulAtiona tor municipal incinerators. It wao dcQided
that the~e proposed municipal incinerator regs we~e the most
applicable regs tor the MTTD/BCD unit; and that they would be
used as a guideline to jud9e the quick turn-around sample re~ult&
against. These regs are 30 ng/dsc:m total PCPD/PCDF and 0.5
ng/ascm toxic equivalence (federal Register/ vol. 59, No.
181/Tuesday, September 20, 1994/Proposed Rules).
STUDY ACTIVITIES
On Monday, .June 12, 1995 the first run of the test was completed.
10:01 EPA REGION IV !Af'.lSTE MGT PROGR~S 003
There were two problems noted during the run. First that the
soil feed rate was low at the beginning of the run, thus the run
had not been conducted at ateady state. Secondly,·and more
i~portantly the total hydrocQ~bon emissions were bigb. The
hydrocarbon enissions began at 70 ppm, ~ose to as high as 400
ppm, and averaged approximately 130 ppm throu9hout the run. When
the values hit 400 ppm a new carbon paok was put on line.
otherwise the average probably ~ould have been higher. B~sed on
visual obocrvationo, J,t woz. cuJsumec1 that scrubber oil was
escaping through the stack. Th• immediate oonoern Wb•, if
scrubber oil was e~oaping, was PCDD/PCDF being carried with it.
on Tuesday, June 13, 1995 ETG workea on modifying their air
pollution control (AFC) equipment to nr1ng the hyarocarbon
•mlaGion• down to no avail~ Thia waa done by running ciean soil
through the system. This was alao a scheduled down day to await
the results of the quick turn-around samples,
on Wednesday, June 141 1995 the quick turn-around results of 96
total ng/dGom and o.9 ng/dscm equiv. were received. since the
to~al was about 3 times the regs, and believini that the
PCDD/PCDr numbers were related to the total hydrocarbon numb~rs,
it was decided th~t the total hydrocarbon numbers needed to ba
reduced by a factor of 4 on sand before the unit could process
contaminoted soil.
ETG was in tha process of modifying the APC unit wben a problam
with the electrical systeln occurred; thus the study was aborted
and sampling crews were demobilized.
It was deQidcd that a mini test woula be purrormed when ~TG had
the system running and had ~aduoed the total hydrooarbo~
emission& to negligible using an OVA and runnin9 clean sand. The
mini test would involve only a quick turn-around PUF and total
hydrocarbon readings. If the results of the PUF were within the
proposed regs, the rull test with complete sampling would be
aohedulod.
The mini was run on Thursday, June.29, 1995. At the beqinning
the hydrocarbon readings were zero (OVA) but steadily rose to a5o
ppm. After 2.5 hours of running, the teat was stopped due to the
hydrocarbon omi~~ions. rt snould also be note~ that steady state
wa~ n•ver achi$v&d durin9 this te~t.
Soon after the mini test the results of the actual stack sample
from the first test run were received. Thesa results ot 3224
totftl ng/m3, and Jl equiv., show that the emissions were about 2
ordere ot ma9nitude over the rega, and that the quick turn-around
PUF cnnnot be used as a reliable indicator of PCDD/PCDF
emissions. A summary of all air PCDD/PCOF results can be found
in Table 2.
For both teets quick. tucn•aroun<l treated soil samples were also
analyzed. Results of theae analyBes can be found in Table 1.
08/30/95 10:02 EPA REGION IU u:iSTE MGT PROGR~S 004
The results ot tbe soil samples taken by the region are not
available yet. The clean up level for tha ·soil is 1 ppb equiv.
RESULTSI
Du@ to the high PCDO/PCDF emissions the tast haa been
discontinued. The equipment wiil be demobbed in early September.
At that time, tho oil scrubber oil from the test will be
analyzed. This oil may be used to evaluate other treatment schemes,
Air dispersion mod~lling was performed using both ataok and
ambient air samples (aee attach~d memo).. 'l'he ambient air results
are not finalized but the stack data ie.· Therefore,it appear~
that despite the high emissions, no one was put ~t riak.

SUMMARY OF CONTACTS WITH POTENTIAL PILOT STUDY VENDORS
As of May 30, 1995
Phone calls have been placed to all vendors who responded to the February 1
Request for Qualifications within the past week. The following questions were
asked of each vendor:
1) How much soil from the landfill would be needed to demonstrate your
technology in an on-site pilot study? (suggested 5-15 tons as a range)
2) What would be the estimated cost of such a pilot study? What items would not
be included in these costs?
3) How soon would equipment and personnel be available for a pilot study and
how long would it require to complete?
Because of the long holiday weekend and travel schedules of some technical people
at a couple of the companies, we do not have the desired information from all
vendors at this time. It is hoped that this information will be useful in guiding the
Working Group in deciding on the size of the legislative funding request. Vendors
are presented in alphabetical order.
ETG Environmental, Inc.
· Contact: Dr. Yei-Shong Shieh (610-832-0700)
This company was involved in the pilot study at the Morrisville Koppers
Superfund site and proposes very similar technology for the Warren County
Landfill (thermal desorption and liquid tank reactor BCD). They have made some
improvements on the vapor recovery system since the Morrisville SITE
demonstration and developed a slightly different desorber, which operates under
vacuum, capable of handling more diverse materials.
1) 5-15 tons would be ideal for pilot study.
2) Estimated cost of pilot: $150,000 including generator, manpower, all materials
and fuels, mobilization and decontamination. Does not include any disposal
necessary and water.
3) Pilot could be carried out as soon as one being carried out in Calif. is completed,
about mid-July and could be completed with analysis and report in about 2 months.
V'Four Seasons Environmental, Inc. / At, 1 t' f.JVL ,-·
Contact: Albert Lee (910-273-2718)
Four Seasons has now bought the other liscensee for the BCD process, Separation
and Recovery Systems, Inc., which designed the SAREX thermal desorber used for
the Koppers demonstration. They propose a the::·mal desorber / BCD treatment train
also, but have not completed a pilot such as this before.
2
Four Seasons Environmental. Inc. (cont.)
1) About 10 tons would be sufficient.
2) Estimated cost $450,000, including all materials and analyses except for stack
testing. Services required: 480V, 3 phase power; 110/220 power for office trailer; 40
gpm water at 60 psi.
3) Would need about 2 months notice to construct a pilot scale BCD unit, thermal
desorbers already available. Demonstration on site would require about 6 weeks
including mobilization and demobilization. Several weeks for analysis and report.
Groundwater Technology, Inc.
Contact Tom Barbee (919-467-2227)
GTI proposes a soil washing procedure to reduce the volume of landfill contents
requiring treatment (PCB's tend to concentrate on the soil fines which generally
represent about 30% of soil volume), thus reducing the cost of detoxifying the
heavily contaminated fraction. (My back of the envelope calculations show that the
soil washing would cost about $6.6 M, but could lower the cost of BCD treatment at
$200/ton by about 70%, a potential savings of almost $3M). GTI has not done a
treatment train involving soil-washing followed by BCD and instead recommends
soil washing followed by ozonation and steam stripping. They could not provide
estimates on short notice, but will fax estimate for both a bench scale pilot (under
500 lb), which they recommend and an on-site pilot for 5-15 tons.
International Technology, Inc.
Contact: Mike Barkdoll (615-690-3211)
IT proposes a high temperature thermal desorption (saying that the higher temp is
less likely to produce dioxins/ furans--they are faxing data about this) followed by
destruction of oil condensate by either incineration or BCD. They are not disposed
toward BCD (and have not done that treatment train) and will send information on
the Times Beach incinerator pilot (I have been told by EPA Region IV that the
citizens there will be trying to contact me as they are trying to overturn the Record
of Decision calling for incineration.) They do not have a small transportable pilot
BCD unit and suggest we contact the Navy to see about trying the small unit
currently being used in Guam.
1) Thermal desorption/ BCD pilot of 5-15 tons possible on site.
2) Estimated cost for large pilot: $2-5 M, for smaller pilot at Oak Ridge facility:
$250 ,00-$500 ,000.
3) Pilot available immediatedly at Oak Ridge, one week to complete testing.
Soil Tech, Inc.
Contact: Joseph H. Hutton (219-929-4343)
\.
3
Soil Tech also has a higher temperature thermal desorber and does all of their BCD
in the solid phase in the ATP desorber. They are currently working on the Smith
Farm, Kentucky site contaminated with PCB's using this technology.
1) Bench scale (100 lb), on-site batch (0.5-1 ton) or large scale (5 ton/hr) pilots
available .
2) Estimates for bench scale: $100,000. Batch: $250,000. Large scale: $1,000,000
including all utilities.
3) Units are currently available, testing would require 1-2 weeks, 3 weeks for
analytical work and another 3 weeks to finalize a report.
Vesta Technology, Ltd.
Contact: Mr. Edwards, CEO (305-978-1300)
Vesta's proposal is for a high temperature rotary kiln (trailer-mounted) with
afterburner. They report 6-7 "nines" destruction of PCB's on two Canadian projects
and no need for disposal of residuals. Mr. Edwards has apparently tried to return
my phone calls, but evidently had used the wrong number. I will attempt to contact
him again on Thursday AM.

PILOT SCALE STUDY FOR DETOXIFICATION OF
WARREN COUNTY PCB LANDFILL
By
Division of Solid Waste Management
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources

..
Preliminary Design of Pilot Scale Study
for Detoxification of the Warren County PCB Landfill
1. Introduction
Background -The Joint Warren County and State PCB Working Group
is currently evaluating qualification statements from potential vendors for
remediation processes ranging from thermal and non-thermal declorination with
or without base-catalyzed dechlorination(BCD) to on-site mobile incineration.
These qualification statements were received in response to a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) released by the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources on behalf of the Working Group.
As a part of the State's commitment to perform a pilot scale evaluation of
a potentially successful technology, this Pilot Scale Plan is underdevelopment.
When one or more technologies, or variations on technologies, is selected by the
Secretary this Plan can be finalized and tailored to the specific details of the
process and unique environmental monitoring requirements in a more timely
way.
Site Status -_ The Warren County PCB Landfill is owned by the State of
North Carolina. The landholding is administered by the Department of
Administration, the facility is operated by the Department of Environment, Health,
and Natural Resources, and routine maintenance is performed by the
Department of Transportation.
The PCB Landfill contains approximately 40,000 cubic yards of soil
contaminated by 300 to 350 ppm of polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs). This
material was collected from along approximately 240 miles of eastern North
Carolina road rights-of-way where used transformer oils were illegally dumped.
The design, siting, construction, and closure of this landfill was conducted under
the Federal Superfund program. Because PCB are the primary hazardous
constituent in the landfill, the facility is permitted and operated under the
authority of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) , regulations administered
by the US EPA. No other hazardous constituents are present, with the exception
of the levels of dioxins and dibenzofurans typically associated with the
production of PCBs of this level of contamination.
Description of new monitoring wells and general state of facility need to be
added to this section.

....
Objectives -
1. Evaluate safety of detoxification method(s) tested by pilot scale.
2. Establish efficacy of detoxification method(s) under test.
3. Establish clean up standards (How clean is clean?) for any future
detoxification project based upon levels achieved in pilot test.
4. Determine type and amount of any waste materials requiring special
handling, such as offsite disposal.
5. Tailor final engineering design for detoxification project to the site and
materials in Warren County.
6. Determine public acceptability of detoxification process being tested in
pilot level testing.
Above objectives required as support to developing engineering and
performance specifications for a potential bid package for general landfill
detoxification package.

Subject: List of BCD Vendors
MEMO
This is to remind you that we have never received the list of potential BCD
vendors from you to support the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process for the
Joint Warren County and State PCB Working Group. I checked with Billie
Elmore this morning and she indicates that she has not received the list from you
either. The RFQ process calls for an end to requests from potential submitters of
February 15. If names of companies you are familiar with are to be included, we
need that information from you prior to that date.
We will be submitting a list of the companies that have received the RFQ to the
Working Group at the February 16 meeting. Your list can be faxed to me at 919-
715-3605. Per your prior agreement, Billie requests that you notify her as well.

A copy of the advertisement that has been purchased in Waste Tech News is
attached. This ad will appear one time in the January 30 edition. We have
specified that all requests for the RFQ be received by February 15 in order to
encourage a quick response. Any names received after that date will be
retained even if the formal response is not possible. Currently, the RFQ is
written to allow 30 days response from potential vendors. Thus, the earliest we
can have documentation from potential BCD vendors will be March 15. We have
not , as yet, received names of potential vendors from Pauline Ewald; however,
we are prepared to mail out those documents immediately upon receipt of the
list.

Bill,
Earl Limer called this morning with the following suggestions.
He said that there is a power line that runs from his property and down
across the creek. There is a transformer on one of the poles (left over from a
former hog parlor in the area). He has no objection to the state's putting in 3
power poles and a telephone line over to the PCB landfill if these are needed
when the pilot projects begin. He also said that if security is needed at the
landfill when these projects begin, please have security carry a shotgun rather
than a rifle (I think he lost some cattle to rifle shot in the past). If backup
security is needed at the landfill for any reason, please call upon the Highway
Patrol rather than the sheriffs department. The Highway Patrol is quicker and
more efficient.
Earl said that this is your ballpark--these are merely suggestions.
He would like for you to call him on Friday, Sept. 15, around 9 am at this
number: 919-257-3413. Thanks.

SUBJECT: PCB Landfill R&D Project -Air Quality Permits
The Division of Solid Waste Management is working with 2 vendors (SoilTech and
ETG/Aquaterra) and EPA Region IV TSCA on pilot/bench scale studies for detoxification of the
Warren County PCB landfill contents.
The detoxification technology proposed for the studies is Base Catalyzed Dechlorination.
Diagrams for the processes are enclosed. Both processes will result in releases to the air.
The PCB contaminated soils have an average PCB concentration of 3 50ppm with a range of 151-
880ppm. Chlorinated benzene concentrations range from 75 to l 08ppb. Hepta and octa dioxins
concentrations are 28 and 1970 ppt respectively. No other dioxin isomers were identified. Furan
isomers including tetra (79ppt), penta (l 13ppt), hexa (819ppt), hepta (1301ppt) and octa
(4630ppt) are present.
One of the vendors proposes to utilize I 0,000 lbs of contaminated soils for the study and the
other proposes to use 500 lbs. Neither vendor has applied for an air quality permit. Is an air
permit required? If it is, what is the most appropriate process to get them started?
The PCB landfill is a highly visible and high priority to us, any help to facilitate the projects would
be appreciated. If you need more information, please give me a call.

Approximate Thickness of Waste at the Gas Vent
PCB Landfill, Warren County
The thickness of the PCB contaminated waste at the landfill
may vary from 22.5 to 25.5 feet thick. During the sampling of the
waste through the gas vent, I recommend the following:
1) sample runs be reduced to a maximum of six inches
per run at a depth of 24 feet below the top of the
concrete slab at the gas vent; and
2) sampling be stopped when any of the components of
the liner at the base of the landfill are
identified.
The components of the liner that should be identifiable
include, in descending order, the fabric filter, nine inches of
sand, compacted clay. The compacted clay is five feet thick and
overlies one foot of fill and the 30 mil PVC liner. Figure 1 shows
the details of the bottom liner.
The estimated original thickness of the landfill is based on
the drawings that you provided. Figure 2 is copied from the
drawing labeled "Cross-sections." Table 1 shows the measured
thicknesses of the landfill at the gas-vent slab.
Changes in the thickness of the waste is based on survey data
found in Randy McElveen' s files on the landfill. The slab may have
settled two to three feet. The data was collected by the Solid
Waste and the Hazardous Waste Sections for the elevation of the
monitoring wells and the concrete slab at the gas vent. This data
is shown in Table 2. The concrete slab at the gas vent and the
four monitoring wells were surveyed after completion of the
landfill. This data is shown on the as-built drawing "Misc.
Details." The concrete slab and the monitoring wells were
resurveyed in 1991 and 1992.
The accuracy of this data is questionable. on the as-built
drawing, the monitoring well elevations are only given to the
nearest foot and what was surveyed at the well (top of casing, top
of concrete slab) is not indicated. The Hazardous Waste and Solid
Waste Section survey data differ by as much as 0.22 feet.
Memo
July 5, 1994
Page 2
According to the cross-section the base of the waste (top of
the liner) should be at a depth of 30.5 feet below the concrete
slab. If there has been 3 feet of settlement and compaction, the
base of the waste is at a depth of 27.5 feet below the slab.
Because of the possible inaccuracies of the data, I recommend that
the sampling interval be reduced beginning at 24 feet below the
slab. Regardless of when the sampling interval is reduced, it is
important to always be looking for the liner components.

Dioxin/Furan Analyses During Performance Testing of the
SoilTech ATP System
Smith's Farm Superfund Site
Bullitt County, Kentucky
As you requested, I have reviewed the Proof-of-Process Report looking for information
on dioxin/furan testing at the Smith's Farm Superfund Site. Only one test for dioxin/furan was
done during the performance test. The lone test was a stack emission analysis completed early in
the study. The level of dioxin detected during the test was 0.33 ng/dscm total dioxin/furan
(Table 5). This concentration has a 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalent of .0097 ng/dscm
(Table 2-3). The state of North Carolina annual guideline for 2,3,7,8-TCDD is 0.003 ng/dscm
(NCAC 15A 2D .1100).
