DATE SCORED: September 29, 1987

PERSON SCORING: Barbara Felitti/NUS/FIT

PRIMARY SOURCE(S) OF INFORMATION (e.g., EPA region, state, FIT, etc.):

1). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region I, Boston, MA 2). Region I NUS/FIT 3). Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Mgt., Providence, RI

FACTORS NOT SCORED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION:

COMMENTS OR QUALIFICATIONS:

The Rose Hill Regional Landfill is not regulated under Subtitle C of RCRA. Industrial process wastes containing trichloroethylene have been disposed of at the Rose Hill Regional Landfill by Peacedale Processing Company. Copper and zinc sludge were also disposed of at the landfill .

The towns of North Kingstown and Narragansett were unable to provide information as to the location of private wells within a three mile radius of the site. This population was excluded from the target population score, however, it represents a small percentage of the total target population.

Rationale for attr ibuting the contaminants to the facility:

Contaminants were detected in groundwater samples obtained from onsite overburden monitoring wells and a private well adjacent to the site. Contaminants in RIDEM //I have been detected in varying concentrationss *s over a three year monitoring period (1981-1984). / VC-»

Site Name: Rose Hill Regional LF Date: September 29, 1987

1,2-Dichloroethene is a degradation product of trichloroethylene. Trichloroethylene was a component of waste laminating adhesive disposed of at the site by the Peacedale Processing Company.

NUS/FIT screening conducted 11-13-8*1 has also confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds (benzene, toluene, tetrachloroethylene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) at monitoring well location OW-30.

Trichloroethylene, benzene and toluene were detected in an onsite soil sample collected at location SS-04.

2. ROUTE CHARACTERISTICS HRS VALUE:

Depth to Aquifer of Concern

Name/description of aquifer(s) of concern:

The aquifer of concern consists of overburden sand and gravel deposits underlain by granitic gneiss and sandstone. The overburden and bedrock are considered to function as a single hydrologic unit based upon the absence of a continuous confining layer within three miles of the site. This assertion is supported by the following:

1. Well log X-l, of a location excavated west of the solid waste landfill, indicates the presence of sand and gravel to bedrock. Well log B-29 indicates that bedrock was consistently encountered at 0.5 to 2.5 feet. Well logs B-23 through 29, and B-30 confirm the presence of sand and gravel overburden deposits.

References: 2e, 23 Appendix A, 29 Figure 2

2. Prior to activities onsite, bedrock outcrops were located in the vicinity of the area now occupied by the solid waste landfill. In addition, excavation to bedrock was conducted prior to landfilling activities. The subsequent placement of wastes at the bedrock surface has facilitated the migration of contaminants to the underlying bedrock.

References: 10 p. 10, 17, p. 10, pp. 3-4, 31

3. There are two bedrock units within three miles of the site, granitic gneiss and sandstone. The bedrock unit underlying the site is Ten Rod Granite Gneiss. Bedrock wells at both the onsite transfer station and the Gagne residence northwest of the site indicate that this formation is a productive water-bearing unit. The bedrock formation east of the site is sandstone of the Rhode Island Formation. The water-bearing characteristics of the sandstone unit could not be documented, therefore, this unit is not considered to be hydrologically connected with the gneiss unit.

References: 18, 31

Site Name: Rose Hill Regional LF Date: September 29, 1987

H. r*e *=»<f*•«•*' «• corxc««-r\ -f-Ke.

There are no barriers to contaminant migration to the target wells, based upon the following:

1. Three supply wells for the University of Rhode Isalnd (URI) are located within three miles of the site. The well log for well no. 92, one of the three supply wells, indicates fine to coarse sand, and gravel to bedrock.

References: 30 p. 36 well no. 92, p. 37 well no. 138, p. 55 well log

2. There are three wells for the Kingston Fire District within three miles of the site, of which two are used as a regular water supply (well nos. 8 and 109). The third well, no. 108 is an alternate supply well.

Well no. 109 is a 30 foot bedrock well, in which bedrock was encountered at 11 feet. Previous discussion indicates that the granitic gneiss unit within which the well is completed, is hydrologically connected with the aquifer of concern.

The second well in use, well no. 8, is a four foot shallow dug well which is spring fed. Due to the shallow bedrock surface in the area, resulting in a seven foot distance to bedrock at this location, the well is also considered to be hydrologically connected with the aquifer of concern.

5. TARGETS HRS VALUE: 3

Ground Water Use

Use(s) of aquifer(s) of concern within a 3-mile radius of the facility:

Groundwater derived from the aquifer of concern within a three mile radius of the facility is a combination of the following uses:

• private residential supplies with no alternate supply available I municipal public water supply with no alternate supply available

Residents in South Kingstown derive drinking water from both public and private wells. Private wells in most of the areas within three miles of the site have no alternate supplies available. Three supply wells for the University of Rhode Island are located 2.7 miles northwest of the site. Two municipal supply wells for the Kingston District are located 2.9 miles northwest of the site. The university and municipal systems utilize each others systems for back-up, therefore, no unthreatened alternate systems are available.

All residents in Exeter within three miles of the site utilize private wells for drinking water with no alternate supplies available. The majority of residents in Narragansett and North Kingstown within three miles of the site receive drinking^

water from municipal supplies. These municipal supplies are located greater than three miles from the site. The majority of residents in Wakefield receive drinking water from the Wakefield Water District. Supply wells for the Wakefield Water District are greater than three miles from the site.

Some residents in Narragansett and North Kingstown utilize private wells, however, the exact location of these residences could not be determined by the towns, therefore, this population was not included in the target calculation.

Residents with private wells in areas underlain by the sandstone bedrock unit were also discounted in the target calculation. Groundwater in the sandstone unit could not be shown to be hydrologically connected with the aquifer of concern.

* Based upon 3.8 residents (U.S. Census Bureau data for South Kingston area) for 310 homes, 3.8 x 310 = 1,178. The number of homes were identified by a house count of areas not served by water supply companies within a three mile radius of the site. U.S.G.S. topographic maps photorevised in 1970 and 1975 were used for the house count.
