SECTION 11.0 INTRODUCTIONThis work plan memorandum describes the tasks to be performed inpreparation of the work plan for the Eau Claire Municipal Well Fieldlocated in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in accordance with the U.S.EPA's WorkAssignment No. 145.5LL3.1.1 SITE lOamON AND HISTORYThe Eau Claire Municipal Well Field is located northwest of the cityof Eau Claire in the northwest corner of Eau Claire County (seeFigures 1 and 2). Ihe well field includes 500 acres on the east bankof the Chippewa River, The Eau Claire County Airport and residentialareas border the well field on the north and east. Several industrialand ocnonercial enterprises and one landfill occur within a two mileradius of the well field.The well field, which is bounded on the west by the Chippewa River,is composed of 14 production wells. Four of the wells are located inthe southernmost portion of the well field with the remaining tenlocated in the north-central portion of the site.In March 1981, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WENR),in cooperation with the U.S.EPA, tested the water supplies of 20communities, including Eau Claire, for possible volatile organicccnpcunds (VOC's). The Eau Claire well field, which supplies drinkingwater to approximately 55,000 people, showed traces of several VOC's,including 1,1-Didhloroethane, 1,1-Dichloroethene,l l Trichlhoroethane, and Trichloroethene, in all except oneproduction well. These results were confirmed by additional WENRsampling and testing in January 1982.In May 1982, the City of Eau Claire contracted E.A. Hickok andAssociates to conduct a hydrcgeologic study of the well field area.The study defined the hydrogeologic conditions of the site, attemptedto determine the source and extent of VDC contamination, and projectedwater usage and quality for the next twenty years.Various techniques for treating water from the well field wereevaluated by Strand and Associates beginning in 1982. Also, the Cityof Eau Claire, vftiich had been testing the production wells, begantesting residential wells on the north side of the city.

Work Plan MemorandumEau Claire Well FieldSection: 1Revision: 0July 29, 1985Page: 1-4 of 5

In the spring of 1983, the WENR designated the municipal well field asa potential Superfund site. The Eau Claire well field was ranked 19thout of the 36 sites identified in Wisconsin. On September 11, 1984,the city's well field was included on the National Priority List (40CFR Part 300) as a Superfund site. Under the Superfund program orComprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Actof 1980 (EL 96-510), the City became eligible for federal assistance.In May 1984, Strand Associates completed their report on watertreatability for the City of Eau Claire and recommended a packed toweraeration system to reduce VDC concentrations in the public watersupply. The currently available test results of a pilot test plant,installed during the summer of 1984, indicate that the aeration systemwould successfully remove VOC's from the water supply.In the summer of 1984, the Wisconsin CNR inspected 22 commercialestablishments in an attempt to identify potential sources of thecontamination. Later that year OLM-Hill conducted a focusedfeasibility study to evaluate alternative initial remedial measures(IBM's) that may be suitable to protect public health.In 1985, OOi-Hill conducted a site visit to the well field, duringwhich 36 water supply samples and 1 surface water sample werecollected. Also, a final draft of the preliminary hydrogeologicevaluation was issued as part of the Interim Work Assignment.The OLM-Hill report states that the source of VOCfs is unknown. Nineestablishments have been identified as potential contaminationsources. VDC contaminated groundwater has been confirmed beneath oneof these establishments, National Presto Industries, Inc., locatedapproximately two miles east of the well field. Althou i thegroundwater flow direction is to the west-southwest in the vicinity ofthe study area, there is no conclusive evidence linking the VOCcontamination beneath the National Presto Industries, Inc. site to thecontamination at the well field.1.2 SITE STRTOS AND EKOJECT T¥PE

13. Miscellaneous file data.2.2 SITE DESCRIPTIONIhe Eau Claire Municipal Well Field is located on the northern edge ofEau Claire, WI. Ihe 500-acre site is bordered on the west by theChippewa River and on the east by the Eau Claire County Airport andresidential areas. Water is derived from approximately 150 feet ofpoorly sorted glacial sands and gravels. Ihe site supplies 55,000residents of Eau Claire with drinking water and, as of April 1985,contained 14 production wells. Based on data gathered by theWisconsin CNR in March 1981, it was discovered that all except oneproduction well showed trace or small amounts of several volatileorganic compounds (VDCfs) .2.3 OaJTMgNftTION EKOBUMBased on WENR samples collected in March 1981, at least trace amountsof 1,1-Dichloroethane, 1,1-Didiloroethene, l l lrichloroethane, anTrichloroethene were detected in all except one production well. -m^hTetrachloroethylene, Irichloroethylene, and 1,1-Dichloroethylene have Aalso been detected in some of the production wells, nearby private V " i)wells, and in monitoring wells at National Presto Industries (NPI) . -Concentrations on-site of Tetrachloroethylene, Irichloroethylene, and1,1-Dichloroethylene have at times, and in some wells, greatly

Ihe source of VOCcontamination has not yet been identified.2.4 CONTAMINATION MIGRATION PATHWAYS AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEAUH

IMPLICATIONSAlthough migration pathways of VOC contamination are currentlyundefined, they will most likely flow through the thickest outwashdeposits and move downgradient towards the Chippewa River. A portionof the contaminated groundwater may migrate to the underlyingsandstone aquifer.VDC's already pose a threat to human health because they expose humansto an excess cancer risk. Further, migration of contaminants couldextend to other private wells and thereby increase the threat to humanhealth.

2.5 INITIAL REMEDIAL MEASURE EVMUMTCNIn the summer of 1984, a pilot test system was designed by Strand andAssociates. The aeration system, as indicated by test results,appears to successfully remove VOC's from the drinking water supply.Based on the remedial measures that have already taken place, it doesnot appear that further immediate remedial action is required.

OF REMEDT&T. ATfTERNftTIVES

The purpose of this section is to identify a range of potentialremedial approaches which are consistent with the presently availableinformation. In addition, preliminary criteria have been developedfor facilitating a coordinated screening and evaluation process forthe remedial alternatives. Preliminary alternatives have beenidentified and are presented in Section 3.1 . Given the limitedavailable site data it is anticipated that a significant number ofadditional remedial alternatives may be developed early in the WorkPlan phase. The final range of alternatives will probably extentbeyond those considered during the previously completed FocusedFeasibility Study.3.1 IDENTIFICATION OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVESAvailable information from the site files indicates that thegroundwater in the vicinity of the well field may have beencontaminated from the improper disposal of substances containing VOC'sat one or more of nine establishments in the immediate vicinity of theEau Claire Municipal Well Field. Based on initial information, thefollowing potential remedial alternatives have been identified forfurther review and evaluation.Remedial Alternative 1.

- Coagulation/filtration- Air StrippingRemedial Alternative 4. Identification and mitigation ofVOC contamination source.A combination of the above can be identified as additionalalternatives, such as:Remedial Alternative 5. Groundwater treatment andidentification and removal of VOCcontamination source.The evaluation of Remedial Alternative 3, groundwater treatment, willaddress an expansion or enhancement of the air stripping treatmentsystem recommended in the Focused Feasibility Study report as well asother treatment technologies.3.2 PERJFUBMaNCE CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOP PFMFHTAT. ATFFRRNATTVESFour factors have been identified for evaluating alternative remedialaction strategies. These factors provide a consistent basis forcomparison, evaluation and screening of each alternative, and whenused in conjunction with the objectives of the overall workassignment provide a rational process for selecting the appropriateremedial action alternative. These factors include:

o Environmental and Public Health Standards such as groundwaterquality standards, surface water quality standards, toxicitydata, etc.

o Cost consideration based on estimated cost versus meetingenvironmental objectives.o Technical feasibility, including technical risks, acceptableand proven technology, commercial availability,inplementability, etc.o Institutional factors such as permit requirements, regulatoryagency acceptance, and government infrastructurerequirements.

3.3 APPROACH TO ALTERNATIVE EVALUATIONThe criteria selected for evaluation and screening of the alternativeshave been identified on the basis of ability to achieve the desiredeffect and conform to environmental and public health standards.In addition, other criteria including cost, technical feasibility and

Work Plan MemorandumEau Claire Well FieldSection: 3Revision: 0JUly 29, 1985Page: 3-3 of 6

time required for implementation will be considered. The criteria tobe used for comparison of the remedial alternatives during thescreening and evaluation process are listed and described below:

1. Environmental and Public Health FactorsThe purpose of remedial action at the site is to rectify anyexisting and potential future environmental effects and mitigateconditions that could potentially affect public health in thearea. Therefore, the ability of a remedial alternative tomitigate/eliminate these impacts is important. Remedialalternatives will be evaluated considering their ability to:

o Abate/minimize existing and potential future groundwatermigration and contamination.o Minimize any potential additional impacts, duringremedial action operations, on air, land, surface water,

and groundwater.o Minimize any potential adverse impacts on human health,

wildlife and vegetation, neighboring properties andother sensitive population.o Abate/minimize existing and potential future migrationand contamination of air, soils and surface waters.

2. CostA remedial action must not only be technically feasible ofaddressing objectives of the remedial action but must also beamenable to being implemented in a cost-effective manner. Inevaluating the cost-effectiveness of various remedialalternatives, costs for each alternative will be identified bytaking into consideration, capital and investment costs, labor/expenses, operating costs and any long-term maintenance costs.All costs should be adjusted for present worth to eliminate biasagainst alternatives with high operation and maintenance costs.The object of the cost screening is to eliminate alternativesthat have costs an order of magnitude greater than those of otheralternatives but do not provide greater environmental or publichealth benefits or great reliability.3. Technical FeasibilityThe preliminary screening of technical feasibility of theremedial alternatives will be based on the following criteria:

Work Plan MemorandumEau Claire Well FieldSection: 3Revision: 0July 29, 1985Page: 3-4 of 6

Performance - She performance of an action is determined bythe degree to which the action will prevent or minimizesubstantial danger to public health, welfare or theenvironment and the length of time this level ofeffectiveness can be maintained. In the preliminaryscreening of remedial actions preference will be given tothose technologies with documented effectiveness levels anduseful lives.Reliability - The two factors that provide the most insightinto the reliability of a remedial technology are theiroperation and maintenance requirements and demonstratedreliability at similar sites. Technologies that requirefrequent or complex operation and maintenance activitieswill be assigned a lower reliability rating thantechnologies requiring little or straightforward operationand maintenance. Similar preference shall be given totechnologies that have proven effective under waste and siteconditions consistent with those anticipated at Eau Claire.Bnplementabilitv - Ihe implementability of given remedialaction is a function of the relative ease of installation,or constructability and the time required to effect a givenresponse level. Ihe constructability of an action isdetermined by site conditions, availability of equipment,local zoning and permit requirements, compliance with stateand federal regulations and public acceptability. The timeelement consists of the time required for pilot studies,design and construction as well as the time fron thebeginning of construction until the desired results areachieved.Safety - Each remedial action will be evaluated with regardto the short-term and long-term threats to the safety of thenearby ocnmunities and environments as well as those toworkers during implementation.

4. Institutional factorsThe institutional factors that will be considered in thepreliminary screening of remedial action alternatives include:

o Acceptability by federal and state regulatory agencieso Safety (i.e. on-site and off site requirements during

implementation of the alternatives)o Public acceptance

Work Plan MemorandumEau Claire Well FieldSection: 3Revision: 0JUly 29, 1985Page: 3-5 of 6

o Permits and licenses (i.e. air or water dischargepermits; construction or operations permits)

o Long-term management agency requirements.3.4 IDENTIFICATION OF DftTft REQUIREMENTSThe evaluation of existing data, scoping of the problem,identification of remedial alternatives, and approach to theirscreening and evaluation will provide the basis for identifying datarequirements during Work Plan preparations. Ihe general datarequirements for the site identified on a preliminary basis include:

o Assessment of extent of contamination of soils, groundwaterand surface water.

o Characterization of contaminant pathways and degree ofmigration.o Location of receptors, sensitive populations and susceptibleenvironmental media in the area.o Evaluation of the chemical/toxicological and physical

properties of the contaminants and their potential breakdown products and by-products.3.5 REMEDIAL INVESTIGATICN/FEASIBIIITY STUDY OBJECTIVESThe ultimate objectives of this project are:

o Quantify the type and extent of contamination.o Identify relationship between current contamination andorigin/sourceo Identify cleanup criteriao Determine the magnitude and probability of actual orpotential harm to public health, welfare, or theenvironment.o Identify technological options for cleaning up and

preventing migration of contaminants beyond current extent.
