I. IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES ALTERNATIVES
Based on the results of the RCRA Facility Investigation and
consideration of the identified potential corrective measure
technologies, the Permittee shall identify, screen and develop the
alternatives for removal, containment, treatment and/or other
remediation of the contamination based on the objectives established for
the corrective action.
A. Description of Current Situation
The Permittee shall submit an update to the information describing
the current situation at the facility and the known nature and
extent of the contamination as documented by the RCRA Facility
Investigation (RFI) Report. The Permittee shall provide an update
to information presented in the RFI regarding previous response
activities and interim measures which have been or are being
implemented at the facility. The Permittee shall also make a
facility -specific statement of the purpose for the response, based
on the results of the RFI. The statement of purpose should
identify the actual or potential exposure pathways that should be
addressed by corrective measures.
B. Establishment of Corrective Action Objectives
The Permittee shall propose facility -specific objectives for the
corrective action. These objectives shall be based on public
health and environmental criteria, information gathered during the
RFI, EPA guidance, and the requirements of any applicable Federal
statutes. At a minimum, all corrective actions concerning ground-
water releases from regulated units must be consistent with, and
as stringent as, those required under 40 CPR 264.100 as adopted in
15A NCAC 13A .0109.
C-2
DEQ-CFW 00074015
C. Screening of Corrective Measure Technologies
The Permittee shall review the results of the RFI and assess the
technologies which are applicable at the facility. The Permittee
shall screen the corrective measure technologies to eliminate
those that may prove infeasible to implement, that rely on
technologies unlikely to perform satisfactorily or reliably, or
that do not achieve the corrective measure objective within a
reasonable time period. This screening process focuses on
eliminating those technologies which have severe limitations for a
given set of waste and site -specific conditions. The screening
step may also eliminate technologies based on inherent technology
limitations.
Site, waste, and technology characteristics which are used to
screen inapplicable technologies are described in more detail
below:
1. Site Characteristics
Site data should be reviewed to identify conditions that may
limit or promote the use of certain technologies.
Technologies whose use is clearly precluded by site
characteristics should be eliminated from further
consideration.
2. Waste Characteristics
Identification of waste characteristics that limit the
effectiveness or feasibility of technologies is an important
part of the screening process. Technologies clearly limited
by these waste characteristics should be eliminated from
consideration. Waste characteristics particularly affect
the feasibility of in -situ methods, direct treatment
methods, and land disposal (on/off-site).
3. Technology Limitations
During the screening process, the level of technology
development, performance record, and inherent construction,
operation, and maintenance problems should be identified for
each technology considered. Technologies that are
unreliable, perform poorly, or are not fully demonstrated
may be eliminated in the screening process. For example,
certain treatment methods have been developed to a point
where they can be implemented in the field without extensive
technology transfer or development.
D. Identification of the Corrective Measure Alternatives
The Permittee shall develop the Corrective Measure Alternatives
based on the corrective action objectives and analysis of
potential corrective measure technologies. The Permittee shall
rely on engineering practice to determine which of the previously
identified technologies appear most suitable for the site.
Technologies can be combined to form the overall corrective action
alternatives. The alternatives developed should represent a
workable number of option(s) that each appear to adequately
address all site problems and corrective action objectives. Each
alternative may consist of an individual technology or a
combination of technologies. The Permittee shall document the
reasons for excluding technologies.
C-3
DEQ-CFW 00074016
II. EVALUATION OF THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE ALTERNATIVES
The Permittee shall describe each corrective measure alternative that
passes through the initial screening and evaluate each corrective
measure alternative and its components. The evaluation shall be based
on technical, environmental, human health and institutional concerns.
The Permittee shall also develop cost estimates of each corrective
measure.
A. Technical/Environmental/Human Health/Institutional
The Permittee shall provide a description of each corrective
measure alternative which includes but is not limited to the
following: preliminary process flow sheets; preliminary sizing
and type of construction for buildings and structures; and rough
quantities of utilities required. The Permittee shall evaluate
each alternative in the four following areas:
1. Technical;
a. The Permittee shall evaluate each corrective measure
alternative based on performance, reliability,
implementability and safety.
i. Effectiveness shall be evaluated in terms of the
ability to perform intended functions, such as
containment, diversion, removal, destruction, or
treatment. The effectiveness of each corrective
measure shall be determined either through
design specifications or by performance
evaluation. Any specific waste or site
characteristics which could potentially impede
effectiveness shall be considered. The
evaluation should also consider the
effectiveness of combinations of technologies;
and
ii. Useful life is defined as the length of time the
level of desired effectiveness can be
maintained. Most corrective measure
technologies, with the exception of destruction,
deteriorate with time. Often, deterioration can
be slowed through proper system operation and
maintenance, but the technology eventually may
require replacement. Each corrective measure
shall be evaluated in terms of the projected
service lives of its component technologies.
Resource availability in the future life of the
technology, as well as appropriateness of the
technologies, must be considered in estimating
the useful life of the project.
b. The Permittee shall provide information on the
reliability of each corrective measure including their
operation and maintenance requirements and their
demonstrated reliability:
i. Operation and maintenance requirements include
the frequency and complexity of necessary
operation and maintenance. Technologies
requiring frequent or complex operation and
maintenance activities should be regarded as
less reliable than technologies requiring little
or straightforward operation and maintenance.
C-4
DEQ-CFW 00074017
The availability of labor and materials to meet
these requirements shall also be considered; and
ii. Demonstrated and expected reliability is a way
of measuring the risk and effect of failure.
The Respondent should evaluate whether the
technologies have been used effectively under
analogous conditions; whether the combination of
technologies have been used together
effectively; whether failure of any one
technology has an immediate impact on receptors;
and whether the corrective measure has the
flexibility to deal with uncontrollable changes
at the site.
C. The Permittee shall describe the implementability of
each corrective measure including the relative ease of
installation (constructability) and the time required
to achieve a given level of response:
i. Constructability is determined by conditions
both internal and external to the facility
conditions and include such items as location of
underground utilities, depth to water table,
heterogeneity of subsurface materials, and
location of the facility (i.e., remote location
vs. a congested urban area). The Permittee
shall evaluate what measures can be taken to
facilitate construction under these conditions.
External factors which affect implementation
include the need for special permits or
agreements, equipment availability, and the
location of suitable off -site treatment or
disposal facilities; and
ii. Time has two components that shall be addressed:
the time it takes to implement a corrective
measure and the time it takes to actually see
beneficial results. Beneficial results are
defined as the reduction of contaminants to some
acceptable, pre -established level.
d. The Permittee shall evaluate each corrective measure
alternative with regard to safety. This evaluation
shall include threats to the safety of nearby
communities and environments as well as those to
workers during implementation. Factors to consider
are fire, explosion, and exposure to hazardous
substances.
2. Environmental;
The Permittee shall perform an Environmental Assessment for
each alternative. The Environmental Assessment shall focus
on the facility conditions and pathways of contamination
actually addressed by each alternative. The Environmental
Assessment for each alternative will include, at a minimum,
an evaluation of: the short- and long-term beneficial and
adverse effects of the response alternative; and adverse
effects on environmentally sensitive areas; and an analysis
of measures to mitigate adverse effects.
3. Human Health;
The Permittee shall assess each alternative in terms of the
extent to which it mitigates short- and long-term potential
C-5
DEQ-CFW 00074018
exposure to any residual contamination and protects human
health both during and after implementation of the
corrective measure. The assessment will describe the
concentrations and characteristics of the contaminants on -
site, potential exposure routes, and potentially affected
population. Each alternative will be evaluated to determine
the level of exposure to contaminants and the reduction over
time for management of mitigation measures, the relative
levels of each alternative with existing criteria,
standards, or guidelines acceptable to EPA.
4. Institutional
The Permittee shall assess relevant institutional needs for
each alternative. Specifically, the effects of Federal,
state and local environmental and public health standards,
regulations, guidance, advisories, ordinances, or community
relations on the design, operation, and timing of each
alternative. If the selected remedy is capping and closure
in place, a notation must be made in the land deed.
B. Cost Estimate
The Permittee shall develop an estimate of the cost of each
corrective measure alternative (and for each phase or segment of
the alternative). The cost estimate shall include both capital
and operation and maintenance costs.
1. Capital costs consist of direct (construction) and indirect
(non -construction and overhead) costs.
a. Direct capital costs include:
i. Construction costs:
Costs of materials, labor (including fringe
benefits and worker's compensation), and
equipment required to install the corrective
measure.
ii. Equipment costs:
Costs of treatment, containment, disposal and/or
service equipment necessary to implement the
action; these materials remain until the
corrective action is complete;
iii. Land and site -development costs:
Expenses associated with purchase of land and
development of existing property; and
iv. Buildings and services costs:
Costs of process and non -process buildings,
utility connections, purchased services, and
disposal costs.
b. Indirect capital costs include:
i. Engineering expenses:
Cost of administration, design, construction
supervision, drafting, and testing of corrective
measure alternatives;
ii. . Legal fees and license or permit costs:
Administrative and technical costs necessary to
obtain licenses and permits for installation and
operation;
iii. Start-up and shakedown costs:
Costs incurred during corrective measure start-
up; and
C-6
DEQ-CFW 00074019
iv. Contingency allowances:
Funds to cover costs resulting from unforeseen
circumstances, such as inadequate facility
characterization.
2. Operation and maintenance costs are post -construction costs
necessary to ensure continued effectiveness of a corrective
measure. The Permittee shall consider the following
operation and maintenance cost components:
a. Operating labor costs:
Wages, salaries, training, overhead, and fringe
benefits associated with the labor needed for post -
construction operations;
b. Maintenance materials and labor costs:
Costs for labor, parts, and other resources required
for routine maintenance of facilities and equipment;
C. Auxiliary materials and energy:
Costs of such items as chemicals and electricity for
treatment plant operations, water and sewer service,
and fuel;
d. Purchased services:
Sampling costs, laboratory fees, and professional fees
for which the need can be predicted;
e. Disposal and treatment costs:
Costs of transporting, treating, and disposing of
waste materials, such as treatment plant residues,
generated during operations;
f. Administrative costs:
Costs associated with administration of corrective
measure operation and maintenance not included under
other categories;
g. Insurance, taxes, and licensing costs:
Costs of such items as liability and sudden accident
insurance; real estate taxes on purchased land or
right-of-way; licensing fees for certain technologies;
and permit renewal and reporting costs;
h. Maintenance reserve and contingency funds:
Annual payments into escrow funds to cover (1) costs
of anticipated replacement or rebuilding of equipment
and (2) any large unanticipated operation and
maintenancecosts; and
i. Other costs:
Items that do not fit any of the above categories.
III. JUSTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE OR MEASURES
The Permittee shall justify and recommend a corrective measure -
alternative using technical, human health, and environmental criteria.
This recommendation shall include summary tables which allow the
alternative or alternatives to be understood easily. Trade-offs among
health risks, environmental effects, and other pertinent factors shall
be highlighted. The Department will select the corrective measure
alternative or alternatives `o be
itTipiemented based on the results
C-7
DEQ-CFW 00074020
obtained from work completed under Section II and III. At a minimum,
the following criteria will be used to justify the final corrective
measure or measures.
A. Technical
1. Performance - corrective measure or measures which are most
effective at performing their intended functions and
maintaining the performance over extended periods of time
will be given preference;
2. Reliability - corrective measure or measures which do not
require frequent or complex operation and maintenance
activities and that have proved effective under waste and
facility conditions similar to those anticipated will be
given preference;
3. Implementability - corrective measure or measures which can
be constructed and operated to reduce levels of
contamination to attain or exceed applicable standards in
the shortest period of time will be preferred; and
4. Safety - corrective measure or measures which pose the least
threat to the safety of nearby residents and environments as
well as workers during implementation will be preferred.
B. Human Health
The corrective measure(s) must comply with existing U.S. EPA
criteria, standards, or guidelines for the protection of human
health. Corrective measures which provide the minimum level of
exposure to contaminants and the maximum reduction in exposure
with time are preferred.
C. Environmental
The corrective measure(s) posing the least adverse impact (or
greatest improvement) over the shortest period of time on the
environment will be favored.
