DECLARATION FOR THE RECORD OF DECISION

Site Name and Location

Hertel Landfill, Town of Plattekill, Ulster County, New York

Statement of Basis and Purpose

This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Hertel Landfill site (the Site), located in the Town of Plattekill, Ulster County, New York, which was chosen in accordance with the requirements of the Comprehensive • Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675, as amended, and to the extent practicable, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, 40 CFR Part 300. This decision document explains the factual and legal basis for selecting the remedy for the Site. The information supporting this remedial action decision is contained in the administrative record for the Site. The administrative record index is attached (Appendix III).

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC") concurs with the selected remedy (Appendix IV).

Assessment of the Site

Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from the Site, if not addressed by implementing the response action selected in this Record of Decision (ROD), may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health, welfare, or the environment.

Description of the Selected Remedy

This operable unit represents the entire remedial action planned for the Site. It addresses the principal threats posed by the Site through controlling the source of contamination and the migration of contaminated leachate, as well as providing for the capture and treatment of contaminated groundwater.

The major components of the selected remedy include:

* Capping of the landfill in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 360 closure requirements for New York State solid waste landfills; the areal extent of the cap is expected to be approximately 13 acres although the exact extent of the cap will not be determined until the design phase j, of the project; r

* Additional soil sampling along the western portion of ^ the disposal area to determine the need to extend the ^ cap or to consolidate these soils under the cap;

* Installation and monitoring of landfill gas vents throughout the landfill mound;

* Development and implementation of an on-site groundwater extraction and treatment system utilizing innovative treatment via membrane microfiltration and an ultraviolet light and hydrogen peroxide oxidation system;

* Performance of a treatability study to demonstrate that the innovative groundwater treatment system is effective. If the study demonstrates that this technology is not effective, then a contingency remedy which utilizes precipitation, filtration, and carbon adsorption for groundwater treatment will be implemented. The contingency remedy is identical to the selected remedy in all other aspects;

* Development and implementation of a groundwater monitoring program including additional sampling and analysis of residential wells and subsequent follow up actions as necessary;

* Construction of fencing around the perimeter of the approximately 13-acre landfill area part of the Site, as well as the Site area;

* Recommendations that ordinances be established or restrictions imposed on the deed to ensure that future use of the Site property will maintain the integrity of the cap; and

* Measures to mitigate potential disturbance of adjacent wetland.

Declaration

The selected remedy, and contingency remedy are protective of human health and the environment, comply with federal and state requirements that are legally applicable or relevant and appropriate to the remedial action, and are cost effective. However, because treatment of the principal threats of the Site was not found to be practicable, this remedy and contingency remedy do not satisfy the statutory preference for treatment as a principal element of the source control portion of the remedy. The size of the landfill, and the fact that the remedial -a investigation did not identify on-site hot spots that represent ^ the major sources of contamination, preclude a remedy in which contaminants could be excavated and treated effectively. 5 However, the selected remedy and contingency remedy do call for the treatment of contaminated groundwater at the Site and hence satisfy the preference for treatment for this portion of the remedy. ii

The selected remedy and contingency remedy include a groundwater extraction and treatment system which reduces the toxicity and mobility of contaminated groundwater. The permanence of reduction in contaminated groundwater toxicity would be monitored upon discontinuation of the pump and treat system.

Since this remedy will result in hazardous substances remaining on-site above health-based levels, a review will be conducted no later than five years after commencement of the remedial action, and every five years thereafter, to ensure that the remedy continues to provide adequate protection of human health and the environment.

SITS HAME, LOCATIOM AND DESCRIPTION

The Hertel Landfill (the Site) is located in the town of Plattekill, Ulster County, New York, just south of U.S. Route 44/NY Route 55 and approximately midway between Bedell Avenue and Tuckers Corner Road (see Figure 1). The property occupies approximately 80 acres and is oriented in a north-south direction; the entire 80-acre property is herein considered the Site. The landfill area occupies approximately 13 acres of the property, ' he 80-acre property is zoned for residential use.

A locked gate exists across the main access road near Route 44/55; however, there is no perimeter fence. There are no buildings on the Site. Private residences are located north of the Site on Route 44/55 (approximately 1200 feet from the landfill), and also east of the Site on Tuckers Corner Road (approximately 3000 feet from the landfill).

The topography of the Site is generally flat with a gentle overall slope descending to the east. Abundant vegetation covers most of the property with the exception of limited portions of the landfill. This landfill is located roughly at the center of the Site and is covered with vegetation, rocky soil, wastes and patches of grass and small shrubs. Previous investigations identified a number of waste disposal areas which comprise the landfill (see Figure 2).

Wetlands border the Site to the north, south, and east. Based on the Tentative Freshwater Wetlands Map of Ulster County (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), 1986), areas identified as potential, wetlands also cover approximately 13 percent of the total area of the Site. A small unnamed stream crosses the southern and eastern area of the Site and flows in a northeasterly direction, bordering the east side of the fill area.

A total of five ecological community types have been identified on-site, including old field, forested upland, forested wetland, stream and open water (pond). The forested wetland is located in a basin in the southwest area of the Site; vegetation species that have been observed include tussock sedge, sphagnum moss and various hydrophytic perennials and annuals. Hydrophytic shrubs and herbaceous species were found in the stream area. The ponded wetland area in the northern section of the Site contains floating, submergent and emergent vegetation. Thirteen plant en species, which are on the NYSDEC protected status list, exist on ^ the Site.

o There are no federally listed threatened or endangered species 2 identified at the Site. One threatened species protected under the New York State Environmental Conservation Law, the red M shouldered hawk, was identified on the Site. ^

Two aquifers exist beneath the Site. The bedrock material is the Austin Glen formation and described as a greywacke and shale; variegated light blue to blue-grey fine to medium grained sandstone (greywacke) with occasional seams of shale have been observed. The rock has well defined bedding planes and the upper few feet are slightly weathered. The overburden is a glacial till deposit consisting of an unsorted mixture of material (clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders) which widely range in size, shape, and permeability. Overlying the till deposit is a layer of light brown fine and or fine sand and silt.

A review of existing flood insurance maps indicated that no portions of the Site are located in either the 100- or 500-year flood zone.

SITE HISTORY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY

The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed that about 10 acres of the Site were used when the landfill was operating. Until 1975 the landfill was owned and operated by Carlo Hertel and later by his family (Hertel Enterprises). Around 1970, Dutchess Sanitation Services, Inc. began hauling refuse from Dutchess County to the Hertel Landfill and in 1975, Dutchess Sanitation Services, Inc. purchased the landfill.

In April 1976, the Ulster County Department of Health (UCDOH) revoked the landfill permit for a variety of violations, among which were allegations of illegal industrial dumping. The UCDOH action and a Town of Plattekill ordinance prohibiting the dumping of out-of-town garbage resulted in the permanent closing of the Site in March of 1977.

Ownership of the Site then passed from Dutchess Sanitation Ser-vices, Inc. through two subsequent parties [a partnership known as F.I.C.A. and then to Hudson Valley Environmental Seirvices, Inc. (HVES) ] to its current owner, Paul V. Winters and his corporation. Environmental Landfills, Inc. (ELI), based in New Windsor, New York. No landfilling operations or other activities are currently performed at the Site under the present proprietor, ELI.

During this time, the New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation, Health (NYSDOH), and Law (NYSDOL) had filed suit a; against F.I.C.A. and HVES for cleanup of the landfill Site; this ^ action was subsequently discontinued following the placement of the Site on the National Priorities List (NPL) and the o Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) assumption of the lead ° role for Site activities. However, the State did reserve the right to activate the case in the future. Previous M investigations included the installation of five groundwater ^

monitoring wells in 1981, under the supervision of Wehran Engineering, Inc. and at the direction of the State of New York. In 1981, NYSDEC directed HVES to conduct groundwater monitoring. Sampling and analysis of groundwater in 1980 and 1982 revealed measurable amounts of various organic compounds and a number of metals. Three surface water samples, described as leachate, were collected in March and May of 1981 by the NYSDEC. Analyses indicated phenols, organic compounds and a number of metals. Based on these results, the NYSDEC placed the Hertel Ijandfill Site on the New York State L"3t of Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. In 1983, the Site was recommended for inclusion on the NPL by the NYSDEC and in October 1984, the EPA proposed the Hertel Landfill Site for inclusion on the NPL. In June 1986, the Hertel Landfill Site was placed on the final list of federal Superfund sites.

In 1987, Dynamac Corporation, on behalf of the current owner, ELI, initiated the preparation of a "Remedial Investigation/ Feasibility Study Work Plan/Scoping Document" under the guidance of the NYSDOL. ELI had intended to implement this Work Plan, but subsequently declined to do so. Therefore, the completion of the Work Plan and the necessary field work was performed by the EPA contractor, TAMS Consultants, Inc., beginning in April 1989. Field work began in September 1989 and was completed in August 1990.

The landfill is currently mainly covered with vegetative growth. However, previously buried materials are starting to become exposed; also, there is exposed rubbish, debris, etc.

On August 14, 1991, general notice letters were sent to sixteen entities who were determined at that time to be potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at the Site. The general notice letters informed these parties of their potential liability at the Site. It is anticipated that special notice letters will be sent to some or all of the PRPs with a copy of this ROD, in order to ascertain their interest in conducting the remedial design and remedial action.

MXGHLXGHTS 05" COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

On November 16, 1989, the EPA conducted the first public meeting concerning the Hertel Landfill Superfund Site at the Town of Plattekill Town Hall, Modena, New York. The meeting was designed ^ to inform local officials and interested citizens about the ^ Superfund process, to review current and planned remedial activities at the Site and to respond to any questions from area § residents and other attendees. ^

The remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) reports and I the Proposed Plan for the Site were released for public comment ; on July 25, 1991 and July 26, 1991 respectively. These documents

Page 10: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

were made available to the public in the administrative record file at the EPA Docket Room in Region II, New York and the information repositories at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Albany, New York, the Plattekill Town Hall, Modena, New York and Plattekill Public Library, Modena, New York. A press release announcing the availability of these documents was issued on July 31, 1991. The public comment period was set by EPA to end on August 26, 1991; however, at the request of a PRP, the comment period was extended to September 25, 1991.

During this comment period, EPA held a public meeting to present the RI/FS reports and the Proposed Plan, answer questions, and accept both oral and written comments. The public meeting was held in the Plattekill Town Hall, Modena, New York on August 14, 1991. At this meeting, representatives from the EPA, NYSDEC and NYSDOH answered questions about problems at the Site and the remedial alternatives under consideration. Responses to the comments received during the public comment period are included in the Responsiveness Summary (see Appendix V).

SCOPE AND ROLE OF OPERABLE tJNIT

EPA has planned to implement the remedial work in a single phase. The major objective of this work is to control the source of contamination at the Site. Concurrently, it is intended to minimize the further contamination of the wetlands in the area and the downgradient migration of contaminants in groundwater.

Specifically, the purpose of the response action is to: 1) minimize the infiltration of rainfall or snow melt into the landfill, thus reducing the quantity of water percolating through the landfill materials and leaching out contaminants; 2) minimize any further contamination of the wetlands; and 3) reduce the movement and toxicity of the contaminated landfill leachate into groundwater and subsequent downgradient migration of contaminants.

This response action will utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the maximum extent practicable. However, because the treatment of the principal threats at the Site is not practicable, this response action does not satisfy the statutory preference for treatment as a principal element of the source control portion of the remedy. The size of as the landfill, and the fact that the RI did not identify on-site ^ hot spots in the soil that represent the major sources of contamination, preclude a remedy in which contaminants could be o excavated and treated effectively. o

It is noted that the listing of a release or threat of release on M the NPL merely represents EPA's initial determination that a ]^ certain area may need to be addressed under the Comprehensive * Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

However, as explained in 54 Federal Register 41002-3, 1989, the RI/FS and ROD for a CERCLA action may offer a useful indication to the public of contaminated areas at which the Agency is considering taking response action (based on information present at that time). To that extent this ROD does not identify a problem at, or seek to address, the 67 acres of the Site lying outside the actual 13 acre landfill area which is the only area intended for remedial action under CERCLA. The outlying area may therefore be used for purposes best determined by the local authorities given the close proximity to the Superfund site. However, it has not yet been determined whether adjoining areas may need to be utilized for treatment facilities or other ancillary facilities necessary to support remedial actions selected for the Site. The precise extent of such areas will be determined during the remedial design and remedial action phases of the project. In addition, since wastes will remain on-site above health-based levels, the protectiveness of the remedy will have to be evaluated every five years. These evaluations could result in a modification of the selected remedy resulting in the need to utilize additional land area to ensure that the remedy is protective of human health and the environment.

StJMMARY OF SITE CHARACTERISTICS

The Hertel Landfill was used for the disposal of municipal solid waste from 1963 until its closure in 1977. During the early 1970s, there were reports of industrial waste dumping as well as reports of improper operations relative to landfill operations and permits. Analyses of environmental samples taken from the Site demonstrate that hazardous substances were disposed of at the Site.

Sixteen feet or more of landfill material exists in some areas of the Site. It is estimated that a total of 240,000 cubic yards of refuse were disposed of at the Site.

The study area for the RI/FS was divided into environmental areas representing landfill as well as background, upgradient, and downgradient locations, with background conditions not considered to be within the groundwater flow path from the landfill. The locations of sampling stations are indicated in Figure 3.

A geophysical investigation, which included electromagnetic a: conductivity, magnetometry and metal detection, was conducted at t the Site to identify areas withiii the landfill where buried metallic wastes might be present. Based on the r:esults of this o investigation, twenty-five test pits were excavated to observe 3 the landfill material. Nothing other than debris typical of municipal landfills was observed in the fill material excavated. M No buried drums were located. !

s

The potential for direct human exposure as well as the potential for further contaminant migration to groundwater and surface water exists at the Site. There are no permanent controls in place to prevent contaminant migration.

Groundwater

As part of the groundwater investigation, a total of nineteen nnnitoring wells were installed. Fifteen wells were installed in the overburden aquifer and four in the bedrock aquifer. Two rounds of groundwater sampling were conducted. The groundwater samples were analyzed for volatile organics (VOC's), semi-volatile organics, pesticides and PCBs, inorganics and standard water quality parameters. A summary of the analytical results is given in TiQ)le lA. Contaminants in the groundwater are listed and compared to Federal and/or State maximum contaminant levels in Table 2A. Several VOCs, BNAs and metals and other inorganics exceeded one or more standards. The following are some contaminants of concern and the highest concentrations detected: chlorobenzene (24 ppb), ethylbenzene (64 ppb), xylenes (240 ppb), benzoic acid (200 ppb), diethylphthalate (900 ppb), arsenic (44 ppb), barium (1980 ppb), and manganese (121,000 ppb).

Groundwater in the overburden aquifer appears to flow eastward toward the landfill base and the wetland which borders the landfilled area to the east. The direction of the groundwater gradient in the bedrock aquifer (based on very limited data) is generally toward the northeast or east.

Residential Wells

A total of nine area residential wells were sampled by EPA (see Table IP) and NYSDOH. The results from initial and follow-up sampling indicated that the water supply was of satisfactory quality (i.e.. State and Federal primary standards) for the analytical tests that were performed.

Surface Water

Surface water samples were collected to determine if the Site is impacting surface water or sediment quality and if components of on-site waste are being transported off-site. A summary of aj analytical results is given in Table IB. Contaminants in surface ^ water are listed and compared to standards in Table 2B.

o Trace concentrations of VOCs, phenols, naphthalene and/or 2 polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds were detected in several leachate seep samples. Many of the inorganic compounds and -. landfill leachate indicator parameters were present at elevated ^ concentrations. o

Page 13: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

In on-site stream samples, inorganic compounds and leachate parameters (chlorides and bicarbonates) were present at levels approximately 2 to 35 times above background levels. Analogous results were obtained in samples collected from the pond/wetland area north of the fill and west of the Site access road. Surface water downgradient of the Site exhibited similar elevated results, but with decreased effects with increasing distance from the landfill.

Sediments

To evaluate the potential impact of on-site wastes being transported off-site by erosion and redeposition of sediment, samples were taken from seep locations along the eastern toe of the landfill, from the stream along the eastern side of the Site, from the northern wetland, and from the stream downgradient of the Site. A summary of analytical results is presented in Table IC and a comparison to standards is given in Table 2C.

At the seep locations results were highly variable. In general, organic compounds were not detected at significantly elevated levels. The only inorganic analyte elevated significantly over background was cadmium. With respect to the sediment samples taken in the on-site stream and the northern wetland, the results were similar to these at the seep locations, i.e., cadmium appeared at significantly elevated levels. Sediments downgradient of the Site did exhibit the presence of several PAHs and BNA compounds, but these could readily be attributable to •roadway (Route 44/55) runoff.

Soils

During the RI/FS field investigation, seven disposal areas were identified in the main fill area and an eighth disposal area was tentatively identified south of the main fill area. Surface and/or subsurface soil samples were collected from the waste disposal areas and from other areas of the fill to characterize contaminants in the fill and to provide some indication if the wastes are Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) "characteristic" wastes, i.e. hazardous by RCRA definition. Subsurface soil samples were collected at selected boring locations to provide additional background data for subsurface a; soils. t

Summaries of surface soil data and subsurface soil data are o presented in Tables ID aafi IS respectively. Comparison of S surface soil contaminant concentrations with RCRA facility investigation guidance values is presented in Tabl© 2D. No *-Federal or State of New York standards exist for assessing .S* contamination in surface or subsurface soils. ^

Page 14: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

The range of compounds detected and their concentration levels were highly variable yet typical of what might be expected at a landfill. Further, none of the samples obtained yielded analyses which would indicate the presence of "hot spots". Samples were submitted for the EP toxicity test which prior to the promulgation of the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) rule (effective September 25, 1990), had been used to determine if a waste is hazardous by characteristic. Results were less than the limits previously used to characterize wastes as hazardous. These results and other knowleoge of waste characteristics do not indicate that RCRA TC wastes are present.

Ecological Investigation

The scope of field investigations included the sampling/surveying of the following components: wetlands, macroinvertebrates, birds, fish, mammals, herpetofauna, and general vegetation.

There were no federal threatened or endangered species located on the Site. Thirteen species of plants were identified on-site which are protected by New York State. The red-shouldered hawk is the only New York State threatened species which was identified on-site. The benthic macroinvertebrate study conducted on-site was inconclusive; the potential exists for Site contaminants to produce adverse effects to aquatic organisms. Additionally, there is some indication that the potential exists for elevated inorganics (selenium, cadmium and mercury) in soil to produce adverse environmental effects.

SUMMARY OF SITE RISKS

EPA conducted a baseline Risk Assessment to evaluate the potential risks to human health and the environment associated with the Hertel Landfill Site in its current state. The Risk Assessment focused on contaminants in the groundwater, surface water, sediment and soil which are likely to pose significant risks to human health and the environment. A summary of the contaminants present in each matrix, along with their freguency-of-detection, range, and 95% Upper Confidence Limit, are presented in fablos a.A=lg. The summary of the contaminants of concern (COC) in sampled matrices is listed in Tabl® 3.

Nine exposure pathways were evaluated under possible on-site 3. present and future land use conditions and are summarized in ^ Sabl® 4. These exposure pathways were evaluated separately for adults and children. In addition, exposure of workers, in the o event of future construction activities on the landfill, was 2 evaluated. The exposure pathways considered under both current and future uses are: ingestion of groundwater from the _, overburden aquifers; inhalation of airborne chemicals adsorbed to Jg dust; inhalation of volatiles in groundwater while showering; 00 incidental ingestion of surface water; dermal absorption of

Page 15: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

contaminants in surface water; ingestion of soils; ingestion of contaminants in soil and home dust (future use only); dermal absorption of contaminants in soils, and inhalation of contaminants in soils.

Under current EPA guidelines, the likelihood of carcinogenic (cancer causing) and non-carcinogenic effects due to exposure to Site chemicals are considered separately. It was assumed that the toxic effects of the site-related chemicals would be additive. Thus, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks associated with exposures to individual compounds of concern were summed to indicate the potential risks associated with mixtures of potential carcinogens and non-carcinogens, respectively.

Non-carcinogenic risks were assessed using a hazard index (HI) approach, based on a comparison of expected contaminant intakes and safe levels of intake (Reference Doses). Reference doses (RfDs) have been developed by EPA for indicating the potential for adverse health effects. RfDs, which are expressed in units of mg/kg-day, are estimates of daily exposure levels for humans which are thought to be safe over a lifetime (including sensitive individuals). Estimated intakes of chemicals from environmental media e.g.. the amount of a chemical ingested from contaminated drinking water are compared with the RfD to derive the hazard quotient for the contaminant in the particular medium. The hazard index is obtained by adding the hazard quotients for all compounds across all media.

A hazard index greater than 1 indicates that the potential exists for non-carcinogenic health effects to occur as a result of site-related exposures. The HI provides a useful reference point for gauging the potential significance of multiple contaminant exposures within a single medium or across media. A summary of the parameter values used to estimate exposure is provided in Table 5. The reference doses for the compounds of concern at the Hertel Landfill Site are presented in Tables SA-SD.

A summary of the non-carcinogenic risks associated with these chemicals across various exposure pathways are found in Tables 8C,D,6,H,£ Jo It can be seen that non-carcinogenic risks to children in a future residential use scenario, such as the potential for damage to vital organs, are possible from exposure to Site contamination based on the calculated HI of 100. The § estimated total non-carcinogenic hazard index is primarily due to ^ ingestion of metals in Site groundwater including manganese (HI=80) and arsenic (HI=10). These calculations are based on the § assumed future residential use of this Site using the contaminant *"" levels detected in on-site monitoring wells and soil samples. The potential future risks posed via ingestion of Site '^ groundwater, and the fact that contaminants were present in on-site groundwater samples above State and Federal drinking water

Page 16: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

3.0

standards, make the groundwater contamination a primary concern at the Site.

Potential carcinogenic risks were evaluated using the cancer potency factors developed by EPA for the compounds of concern. Cancer slope factors (SFs) have been developed by EPA's Carcinogenic Risk Assessment Verification Endeavor for estimating excess lifetime cancer risks associated with exposure to potentially carcinogenic chemicals. i3Fs, vhich are expressed in units of (mg/kg-day)', are multiplied by the estimated intake of a potential carcinogen, in mg/kg-day, to generate an upper-bound estimate of the excess lifetime cancer risk associated with exposure to the compound at that intake level. The term "upper bound" reflects the conservative estimate of the risks calculated from the SF. Use of this approach makes the underestimation of the risk highly unlikely. The SFs for the compounds of concern are presented in Tables 7A a 7B.

For known or suspected carcinogens, EPA considers excess upper bound individual lifetime cancer risks of between 10"* to 10* to be acceptable. This level indicates that an individual has not greater than a one in ten thousand to one in a million chance of developing cancer as a result of site-related exposure to a carcinogen over a 7G-year period under specific exposure conditions at the Site.

A summary of the carcinogenic risks associated with the compounds of concern across various exposure pathways under the reasonable maximum exposure scenario are found in Tables 8A,B,E;F;S 1.

Under possible future land-use conditions, adults exposed to contamination from residing on the Site are at a potential total excess lifetime cancer risk of 7x10' . This suggests that an individual has a seven in one thousand increased chance of developing cancer as a result of exposure to the Site. The estimated total carcinogenic risk is primarily due to dermal contact with arsenic in soil. Another exposure scenario which also presented a significant risk, and which is more likely to occur in the disposal areas than the establishment of residences, is the current/recreational use of the Site. Under this use, it was estimated that children and adults trespassing on the Site would be subject to carcinogenic risks of 5x10"* and 4x10'' respectively, due to dermal contact with arsenic in the soil.

EC 1-3

The calculations were based on the contaminants detected in the f soil and on-site monitoring wells. It was assumed that in the future these wells would be used for residential purposes. g Calculations were developed by taking into account various i-conservative assumptions about the likelihood of residents being exposed to the various contaminated media. «3

Uncertainties

The procedures and inputs used to assess risks in this evaluation, as in all such assessments, are subject to a wide variety of uncertainties. In general, the main sources of uncertainty include:

- environmental chemistry sampling and analysis - environmental parameter measurement - fate and transport modeling - exposure parameter estimation - toxicological data

Uncertainty in environmental sampling arises in. part from the potentially uneven distribution of chemicals in the media sampled. Environmental chemistry analysis errors can stem from several sources including the errors inherent in the analytical methods and characteristics of the matrix being sampled.

Uncertainties in the exposure assessment are related to estimates of how often an individual would actually come in contact with the chemicals of concern, the period of time over which such exposure would occur, and in the models used to estimate the concentrations of the chemicals of concern at the point of exposure.

Uncertainties in toxicological data occur in extrapolating both from animals to humans and from high to low doses of exposure, as well as from the difficulties in assessing the toxicity of a mixture of chemicals. These uncertainties are addressed by making conservative assumptions concerning risk and exposure parameters throughout the assessment. As a result, the Risk Assessment provides upper bound estimates of the risks to populations near the Landfill, and is highly unlikely to underestimate actual risks related to the Site.

More specific information concerning public health risks, including a quantitative evaluation of the degree of risk associated with various exposure pathways, is presented in the RI Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT a:

The environmental assessment evaluated potential exposure routes t of the Site contamination to terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. An ecological survey was performed to identify any threatened or o endangered species. o

One threatened species protected under the NYS Environmental »— Conservation Law, the red-shouldered hawk, was identified on the J Site. Thirteen plant species, which are on the NYSDEC protected *"" status list, exist on the Site.

12

A general trend of elevated concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants exists in one or more environmental media at the Site. Of the identified inorganics of concern in soils, selenium, cadmium and mercury present a potential for ecological effects. Similar conclusions were not drawn for organic compounds due to a paucity of ecotoxicological data on these compounds.

The wetlands in the vicinity of the Site were delineated preliminarily. The need to minimize the disturbance of these wetland habitats via migration of contaminants from the landfill, as well as via any future remediation activities, was identified as an important factor to be considered in the design of the Site remedy. Of particular concern were the leachate seeps located at the toe of the landfill. These seeps discharge to the surface and to an adjacent wetland. A definitive delineation of the wetlands and an evaluation of their functional value will be performed before the commencement of design activities for the Site.

Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from this Site, if not addressed by the selected alternative or one of the other remedial measures considered, may present a current or potential threat to the public health, welfare, and the environment through the continued leaching and migration of contaminants from the landfill and human exposure to contaminated soils.

DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES

Following a screening of remedial technologies in accordance with the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the following remedial alternatives were developed for the Site. The alternatives were further screened based on technical considerations such as effectiveness, implementability, and cost. Time to implement reflects the period following the ROD necessary to develop work plans, complete remedial designs, conduct construction activities, and also the time necessary to obtain comments/approvals, conduct negotiations with PRPs, issue inquiries, evaluate and select contractors, etc. as required by Federal and State regulations and procedures.

These alternatives are: ^

Alternative 1: No Action ^

Capital Cost: $58,100 o 0 & M Cost: $132,200/yr. " Present Worth Cost: $2,509,000 ^ Time to Implement: 9 months ^ Duration: 30 years J5

13

The NCP requires that the no-action alternative be considered as a baseline for comparison with the other alternatives. The no-action alternative does not include any physical remedial measures that address the contamination at the Site.

This alternative would consist of a long-term groundwater monitoring program that would provide data for the assessment of the impact on the underlying groundwater of leaving contaminated materials on-site. This program would utilize wells installed during the RI at the Site and six additional wells. Groundwater samples would be taken on a quarterly basis.

In addition, the no-action alternative would include the development and implementation of a public awareness and education program to enhance the community's knowledge of the conditions existing at the Site. This program would require the involvement of the local government, various health departments and environmental agencies.

Under this alternative, the Site would be reviewed every five years pursuant to CERCLA requirements. Using data from the groundwater sampling program, these five year reviews would include the reassessment of health and environmental risks due to the contaminated material left on-site. If justified by the review, remedial actions might be implemented.

Alternative 2: Site Use Restrictions and Capping

Capital Cost: $3,482,000 O. & M Cost: $162,800/yr. Present Worth Cost: $7,182,000 Time to Implement: 3 0 months Duration: 30 years cap maintenance

As with Alternative 1, this alternative would include a groundwater monitoring program and public awareness program. However, this alternative would also provide for restricted Site access and capping of the landfill area.

A chain link fence would surround the perimeter of the capped area, thereby restricting access. Along the fence, at appropriate intervals, warning signs would be placed that would caution the public as to the Superfund status of the Site. One access gate would be provided, which would be kept locked, to ^ allow access for groundwater sampling and review purposes. tr" Institutional controls in the form of local ordinances, and/or deed restrictions would be recommended in an attempt to restrict g future use of the land because of the threats posed by M contamination.

The major feature of Alternative 2 would be the construction of a multi-layer closure cap over the landfill mound. This would minimize the infiltration of rainfall or snow melt into the landfill and reduce the movement of the contaminated leachate to the groundwater.

The design of the cap would comply with the standards of Title 6, New York State Compilation of Rules and Regulations (NYCRR), Part 360, which addresses New York State Solid Waste Management Facilities and landfill closure rec[uirements. This facility would comply with all applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). Prior to construction of the cap, the landfill mound would have to be regraded and compacted to provide a stable foundation for placement of the various layers of the cap. The Part 360 standards include minimum liquid migration through the wastes, low cover maintenance requirements, efficient site drainage, high resistance to damage by settling or subsidence, and a low permeability cap. In addition to the various layers, the cap would include allowances for the installation of gas vents necessary for the escape of methane generated by the decomposition of landfill materials, and also provide for groundwater monitoring wells within the landfill mound. The cap would consist of a four layered system: an upper vegetative layer, a soil protective layer over a low permeability layer, and a gas vent/collection layer. The landfill mound surface area, including the side slopes, is estimated to be 13 acres.

Contaminated groundwater would be left to attenuate without any treatment, and groundwater monitoring wells would be installed within the landfill mound. Groundwater samples would be collected for analyses to evaluate the effect of the cap on the groundwater flow through the saturated portion of the landfill materials and on the surrounding aquifer. Emissions from landfill gas vents would also be monitored.

EPA believes that this alternative would result in achieving risk reduction to levels below 10"* and a hazard index below 1 for carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks respectively. However, the potential for contaminants to migrate off-site, although lessened due to the landfill cap, would continue to exist and could impact nearby residential wells.

As with Alternative 1, a review of the Site's status would be conducted every five years.

Time to Implement: 36 months Duration: 30 years cap maintenance

The scope of this alternative is the same as Alternative 2, except for the addition of a slurry wall. The purpose of the slurry wall would be to act as a barrier to groundwater flow and to lower the water table such that leachate breakout at the toe of the landfill would be eliminated.

The slurry wal_ design would be based on the use of a cement/bentonite construction rather than soil/bentonite due to slope. The wall would be located upgradient of the landfill area, approximately 1800 feet long, 3 feet in width and keyed into the underlying bedrock with an average depth of 40 feet.

EPA believes that this alternative would result in achieving risk reduction to levels below 10"* and a hazard index below 1 for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, respectively. However, the potential for contaminants to migrate off-site, although lessened due to the landfill cap, would continue to exist and could impact nearby residential wells.

In order to monitor the effectiveness of this system 8 observation wells would be installed. These wells in addition to the existing monitoring wells in the fill area, would facilitate confirmation of the effectiveness of the slurry wall in maintaining the groundwater table at a level below the base of the fill material. In addition, a review of the Site's status would be conducted every 5 years.

This alternative is identical to Alternative 2, with the addition of a groundwater pumping system within the landfill mound to control leachate migration. aj

o

The groundwater extraction system would consist of a series of pumping wells installed around the inside of the landfill. The o groundwater pumping wells would extend through the landfill material and end at bedrock. They would be screened through the entire saturated length. It is estimated that approximately 22 extraction wells would be required to provide capture of the

contaminated groundwater beneath the landfill. These wells would produce an estimated total removal rate of approximately 10 gallons per minute or 14,000 gallons per day. These estimates, presented in detail in the FS report, would be field verified via performance of an aquifer pumping test during the remedial design. Also, further studies may be conducted during that phase to optimize the number and location of extraction wells. Pulsed pumping may also be considered.

The extracted groundwater would be prefiltered to remove gross solids and then pumped nto an equalization tank. This tank would be utilized to equalize the groundwater flow and contaminant concentrations, which may be variable.

The collected groundwater would be treated in an on-site treatment system. This treatment system would use chemical precipitation and clarification followed by filtration to remove metals and suspended solids. A carbon adsorption system would be utilized to remove organic compounds from the filtration effluent.

The organic compounds and metals present in the extracted groundwater would be reduced to concentrations which are below the site-specific surface water discharge standards which would be determined in accordance with the New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES). It is expected that the effluent groundwater would be discharged to the adjacent wetlands unless detrimental impacts would result from such an action. Other discharge options, such as reinjection, would be evaluated during the design of the remedy. Groundwater remediation would result in the attainment of State and Federal ARARs for ground­water and drinking water at the Site boundary.

EPA believes that this alternative would result in achieving risk reduction to levels below lO"* and a hazard index below 1 for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, respectively.

Under Alternative 4, solids are expected to accumulate at a rate of approximately 24 pounds per day, for a total annual accumulation of 4 tons. Treatment residues generated would be disposed of in accordance with RCRA Land Disposal Restriction requirements. In addition, a review of the Site's status would be conducted every five years.

This alternative is similar to Alternative 4. However, the treatment system to be employed would consist of a membrane microfiltration unit for inorganics removal and ultraviolet (UV) oxidation for organics removal.

The microfiltration system is an innovative treatment system being developed and is currently included in EPA's Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program. Prior to the microfiltration stage, the groundwater is pretreated with lime to precipitate metals. Microfiltration is designed to remove solid particles from liquid wastes and consists of an automatic pressure filter combined with special filter material, and operates in a cyclical manner. Solids greater than one ten-millionth of a meter are retained as a filter cake. Pilot tests at the Palmerton Zinc Superfund site produced a filtrate with non-detectable levels of heavy metals.

UV oxidation would follow the membrane microfiltration unit. UV oxidation is a process in which UV light and hydrogen peroxide chemically oxidize organic contaminants dissolved in water. The combined UV light and hydroxy radicals (strong oxidizers formed from hydrogen peroxide) promote rapid breakdown of organics into carbon dioxide and water without the creation of air emissions or residual waste streams. The oxidation unit would be operated to reduce the contaminant levels in groundwater to Federal or State discharge requirements. Operation and maintenance of the unit consists of UV lamp replacement every four months and occasional replenishment of the hydrogen peroxide supply. As with Alternative 4 the groundwater would be remediated until ARARs are met.

EPA believes that this alternative would result in achieving risk reduction to levels below lO'* and a hazard index below 1 for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks respectively.

Treatment residues would be disposed of in accordance with RCRA Land Disposal Restriction requirements.

In addition, a review of the Site's status would-be conducted every five years. tn

SUMMARY OP COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS 0? ALTERNATIVES ' o

All remedial alternatives were evaluated in detail utilizing nine ^ criteria as set forth in the NCP and OSWER Directive 9355.3-01. These criteria were developed to address the requirements of H_, Section 121 of CERCLA to ensure all important considerations are ^ factored into remedy selection decisions. -j

Page 24: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

The following "threshold" criteria are the most important and must be satisfied by any alternative in order to be eligible for selection:

Threshold Criteria o Overall protection of hviman health and the environment; and

o Compliance with applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements.

The following "primary balancing" criteria are used to make comparisons and to identify the major tra>-e-offs between alternatives:

Primary Balancing o Long-term effectiveness and permanence; Criteria o Reduction in toxicity, mobility, or

volume through treatment; o Short-term effectiveness; o Implementability; and o Cost.

The following "modifying" criteria are considered fully after the formal public comment period on the Proposed Plan is complete:

Modifying Criteria o State/support agency acceptance; and o Community acceptance.

The nine criteria are summarized below:

1. Overall protection of human health and the environment addresses whether or not a remedy provides adequate protection and describes how risks posed through each exposure pathway (based on a reasonable maximum exposure scenario) are eliminated, reduced, or controlled through treatment, engineering controls, or institutional controls.

2. Compliance with ARARs addresses whether or not a remedy would meet all of the applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements of Federal and State environmental statutes and requirements or provide grounds for invoking a waiver.

3. Long-term effectiveness and permanence refers to the ability of a remedy to maintain reliable protection of human health and the environment over time, once cleanup goals have been nc met. It also addresses the magnitude and effectiveness of ^ the measures that may be required to manage the risk posed by treatment residuals and/or untreated wastes. o

Reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume through treatment is the anticipated performance of a remedial technology, with respect to these parameters, that a remedy may employ.

o

19

5. Short-term effectiveness addresses the period of time needed to achieve protection and any adverse impacts on human health and the environment that may be posed during the construction and implementation periods until cleanup goals are achieved.

6. Implementability is the technical and administrative feasibility of a remedy, including the availability of materials and services needed.

7. Cost includes estimated capital and operation and maintenance costs, and the present worth costs.

8. State acceptance indicates whether, based on its review of the RI/FS and the Proposed Plan, the State supports, opposes, and/or has any identified reservations with the preferred alternative.

9. Community acceptance refers to the public's general response to the alternatives described in the Proposed Plan and the RI/FS reports. Factors of community acceptance to be discussed include support, reservation, and opposition by the community.

A comparative analysis of these alternatives based upon the evaluation criteria noted above, are as follows:

Overall Protection of Human Health and the Environment

Alternatives 4 and 4A provide the best approach to protection of human health and the environment. Alternative 4 relies on proven technologies, at a small cost increase, as compared to Alternative 4A which is based on innovative technologies.

All alternatives, except Alternative 1 are protective. However, Alternatives 2 and 2A rely on natural attenuation of contamination in groundwater and land use restrictions. In comparison Alternatives 4 and 4A provide additional protection by the active means of pumping and treating groundwater, thus reducing migration of contaminants from the Site. Although ultimate resumption of contact between the soil/waste and ground­water table is anticipated, the existence of the pump and treat system does provide means for resumed operation of treatment tn should it be deemed necessary at the completion of the extraction ^ period.

Alternatives 2, 2A, 4 and 4A are all designed, via the cap, to prevent leachate seeps, thereby reducing surface water contamination levels. i-'

Alternative 1, the no action alternative, is the least protective ^ of human health and the environment. This alternative does not

20

limit site access or future site development and, therefore, does not address the principle threats posed by the Site.

Compliance with ARARs

Alternatives 4 and 4A are expected to meet chemical-specific ARARs for the groundwater. However, once pump and treat operations are discontinued, the resumption of contact between the soil/waste matrix and the groundwater may cause chemical specific groundwat^jr ARARs to be exceeded. If this is the case, continued "pulsed" pumping and treatment of the groundwater may be necessary. The technologies employed under Alternative 4A may not be as effective in reaching ARAR-based cleanup levels for effluent discharge. However, based on the information available it is anticipated that ARARs will be achieved under this alternative.

Alternatives 2 and 2A rely on natural attenuation to attain chemical-specific ARARs for contaminants detected in the ground­water and are not expected to achieve ARARs for a significant amount of time. For Alternative 2A, the elimination of ground­water flow through the in-place waste materials may eventually result in reduced groundwater contaminant levels, but treatment of the currently detected contaminant levels would not be provided. Alternative 2 would,take significantly longer to reach ARARs in groundwater than the other alternatives.

Alternatives 2, 2A, 4 and 4A would meet the action specific sanitary landfill closure ARARs as the final cap and surface drainage features would be constructed in accordance with New York Solid Waste Management Facility landfill closure regulations.

Hazardous treatment residues that may be generated in Alternatives 4 and 4A would be disposed of in accordance with RCRA Land Disposal Restriction requirements.

Alternative 1, the no action alternative, is not expected to attain chemical-specific ARARs for the groundwater in a reasonable time frame. No location-specific or action-specific ARARs would be applicable under the no action alternative.

Location-specific ARARs may potentially be triggered for wetlands a: which cover some portions of the Site. It appears as though all ^ of the action alternatives could impact the wetlands to a similar degree. However, based on preliminary identification, most of the <=> wetlands will not be impacted by the remediation activities 3 evaluated herein. The extent of the impact to the wetlands will be determined during the design phase of the project. Wetlands M that might be impacted by the remediation activities would be ^ restored to the maximum extent practicable in compliance with the ^ appropriate wetlands and discharge regulations.

21

I/ong-Term Effectiveness and Permanence

None of the alternatives actively address remediation of contaminants currently detected in surface water or sediment (other than contamination associated with leachate seeps). Therefore, all alternatives could present some residual risk based on incidental ingestion and dermal contact with sediments under a recreational use scenario. These calculated risks, however, are within the acceptable risk ranges and are not considered to seriously impact the long-term effectiveness of the alternatives, especially with respect to those alternatives for which site access will be limited for an extended period based on the long-term operation of on-site remedial systems.

Alternative 2A would result in minimal residual risk through the containment rather than treatment of on-site contaminants. The combination of the cap and slurry wall minimize contact with soil contaminants and potential exposure pathways associated with on-site groundwater contamination, although potential exposure to surface water/sediment would exist if access to the Site is not fully controlled e.g., if the Site is used as a recreational area following capping. The slurry wall would minimize contact of the groundwater table with in-place waste materials, thereby minimizing future contamination of groundwater. These containment features are expected to be highly reliable with minor maintenance or monitoring; if they should fail, replacement or repair would not be exceptionally difficult.

Alternatives 4 and 4A provide comparable levels of long-term protectiveness. While treating the groundwater and reducing dermal exposure risks through containment features, these alternatives do not provide for treatment of the source of contamination. Therefore, the long-term effectiveness of these alternatives in maintaining reduced groundwater contaminant levels following discontinuation of the pump and treat system operation is not guaranteed. The water table can be expected to return to a level within the waste materials when pumping is discontinued, thereby potentially allowing for future ground­water contamination. If this is determined to be the case, pulsed pumping of the system might be warranted. These alternatives also require long-term management in the form of cap maintenance and groundwater treatment system monitoring and aj operation. Because of the ongoing operation of the groundwater ^ treatment system, use of the Site for recreation and the associated potential exposures are not considered to apply to o these alternatives. 3

Alternative 2 would not treat the source of contamination or the _, contaminated groundwater on-site, although it would provide ^ protection against dermal exposures to soil contaminants through t- its capping containment feature. This alternative requires minimal long-term management in the form of cap maintenance and

Page 28: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

22

monitoring. Potential exposure to surface water/sediment contaminants will exist under this alternative if access to the site is not fully controlled e.g., if the Site is used as a recreation area following capping.

Alternative 1, the no action alternative, offers no long-term effectiveness in terms of protection against current risks associated with dermal contact with soil contaminants or future groundwater ingestion scenarios.

Reduction in Toxicity. Mobility, or Volume

Alternative 2A provides a reduction of contaminant mobility, without treatment, through its containment features. The alternative utilizes a cap and slurry wall to isolate in-place waste materials from exposure via direct contact and from precipitation, infiltration and consequent groundwater migration. While the waste materials are not treated, their isolation limits the potential risks they pose.

Alternatives 4 and 4A reduce the toxicity of groundwater through treatment and reduce the mobility of soil contaminants through containment. The reduction in groundwater toxicity may not be permanent, however, due to the lack of treatment of the soil/waste matrix and the ability of the groundwater table to return to a level within the waste materials upon discontinuation of operation of the pump and treat system. Subsequently, a pulse pumping system may be considered.

Alternative 2 only reduces the mobility of the soil contaminants through containment measures. It does not address groundwater contamination or limit additional contamination of groundwater due to continued contact of waste materials with the water table. Alternative 1 provides no reduction in toxicity, mobility or volume of contaminants of any media through treatment. Residual risks are identical to those identified by the baseline risk assessment. Future risks posed by the Site will depend on future Site usage.

Short-Term Effectiveness

In general, all alternatives except the no action alternative require clearing of vegetation from the landfill area, road improvements or other activities involving disturbance of ^ contaminated soils. These alternatives pose, at a minimum, non- ^ cancer risks which exceed acceptable risk ranges to on-site remedial workers due to inhalation of contaminants adsorbed to fugitive dust. This pathway of exposure can be minimized through the use of personal protection equipment. Once remedial activities are completed, this exposure pathway ceases to exist J for these alternatives. f

O O

23

The no action alternative can be considered to be the most effective alternative with respect to short-term risks. Because no remediation is proposed under this alternative, no disturbance of existing contamination occurs and no short-term risks are realized. It should be emphasized, however, that while no increases in risks result in the short-term, no protection against the principle site threats is achieved.

For alternatives that involve site remediation. Alternatives 2 and 2A provide the greatest short-term effictiveness. They pose the least amount of risk to on-site remedial workers and achieve protection against dermal contact risks within the shortest time frame. Alternative 2, however, does not provide the same degree of protection against groundwater contaminant migration.

Alternatives 4 and 4A also provide good short-term effectiveness. They pose additional risk to on-site workers due to the installation of groundwater extraction wells within contaminated areas, but they also meet remedial response objectives within a limited time frame, with exposures to groundwater contamination reduced through groundwater pumping and on-site treatment. The additional handling of contaminated groundwater and required discharge to surface water increases the potential risks and environmental impacts associated with remediation, and makes these alternatives less effective in the short-term than Alternative 2A. These alternatives also have longer remedial time frames associated with achievement of cleanup goals.

Implementability

Technical Feasibility

Wetlands regulations will impact the implementation of all alternatives except the no action alternative to varying degrees. Alternatives involving groundwater extraction and discharge to wetlands/surface water (Alternatives 4, 4A) will require compliance with regulatory requirements for surface water discharges. Alternatives 2, 2A, 4, and 4A would require site use and groundwater use restrictions. The responsibility for the implementation of such restrictions would be left to State and local authorities.

Alternative 1, the no action alternative, is the most implementable because it requires only the installation of a: additional monitoring wells. ^

Alternatives 2 and 2A follow Alternative 1 in implementability, o respectively. Capping construction methods are well developed 3 and easily implemented. The construction of a slurry wall under Alternative 2A would also be relatively easy to implement, y although existing Site conditions could hamper construction. ^

Page 30: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

24

Alternatives 4 and 4A are similar to Alternative 2, involving the construction of a cap, but also include the construction of a groundwater extraction and treatment system. The construction of such a system would be relatively easy. Minimal technical problems would be expected in the implementation of Alternative 4. The innovative groundwater treatment technologies included in Alternative 4A could pose additional technical problems; a treatability study would be necessary to ensure that these problems were not significant. The lack of general availability of the innovative treatment technologies could also limit the availability of treatment systems and experienced operational personnel relative to the other alternatives.

Administrative Feasibility

All of these alternatives would involve some degree of institutional management. Alternative 1 would require administrative coordination of the groundwater monitoring program and the five year site status reviews, along with the development of the public education program.

The administrative requirements for Alternatives 2 and 2A include the groundwater monitoring program, and the security fence inspection. In addition to these activities, the structural integrity and impermeability of the closure cap and subsurface barrier must be maintained through a program of periodic surveillance and necessary repairs. Because of the large land area of the landfill, this item could be fairly substantial.

In addition to the above. Alternatives 4 and 4A require an extensive monitoring program, as well as the operation and maintenance of the groundwater treatment facility. Their administrative elements are extensive because they include equipment maintenance schedules, system effluent monitoring to comply with the SPDES requirements and to adjust operating parameters, and transportation and disposal of hazardous process residuals in compliance with regulations.

Availability of Services and Materials

Most services and materials required for implementation of any of these potential remedial alternatives are readily available. Standard construction equipment and practices can be employed for equipment installation and site work activities for all * alternatives. Most of the materials and equipment required for ' these alternatives may be obtained in the locality of the Site. However, excavations necessary for the installation of the o subsurface barrier (Alternative 2A) may require that specialized ^ operations and equipment be obtained from non-local sources. ^

Because the work would be taking place on a Superfund site, all on-site personnel must have approved health and safety training. Many companies are available to provide this training to contractors. The engineering and design services required for implementation of Alternatives 2, 2A, 4 and 4A may be obtained from many vendors. Hazardous waste transportation and disposal is also commercially available.

Community Acceptance

EPA believes that the selected remedy has the support of the affected community. Community comments can be reviewed in the public meeting transcript which is included in the administrative record. A Responsiveness Summary which summarizes all comments received during the public comment period and answers the questions and concerns raised at the public meeting on August 14, 1991 is attached as Appendix V to this document.

SELECTED REMEDY

Based upon consideration of the requirements of CERCLA, the detailed analysis of the alternatives, public comments, and NYSDEC's comments, EPA has determined that Alternative 4A, Capping and Groundwater Treatment (via microfiltration and UV oxidation) System, is the appropriate remedy for the Hertel Landfill Site. A treatability study will be performed to demonstrate that the innovative groundwater treatment remedy is effective. If the study demonstrates that the innovative treatment is not effective, then Alternative 4 will be implemented as a contingency remedy.

REMEDIATION GOALS

The purpose of this response action is to reduce the present risk to human health and the environment due to contaminants leaching from the landfill mound. The capping of the landfill will minimize the infiltration of rainfall and snow melt into the landfill, thereby reducing the potential for contaminants leaching from the landfill and negatively impacting the wetlands habitat and groundwater quality. Capping will prevent direct contact exposure to contaminated soils, and as such will result in risks which are less than EPA's target levels of 10"* and 1 for carcinogenic risks and the non-carcinogenic hazard index, respectively.

a; Pumping and treating the groundwater will contain the ground- ^ water contamination within the Site boundary and will ensure that groundwater beyond the Site boundary meets applicable or relevant o and appropriate requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (maximum contaminant levels) and State laws and regulations (10 NYCRR Part 5, 6 NYCRR Part 703). The extracted groundwater will M be treated to meet SPDES discharge standards if discharged to ^

nearby surface water; or will meet appropriate reinjection standards if reinjection is selected as the means of discharge.

An example of some of the ARARs for groundwater remediation at this Site are:

CHEMICAL REOUIREMENT REFERENCE

Ethylbenzene 5 ug/l 10 NYCRR Part 5 Total xylenes 5 ug/l 10 NYCRR Part 5 Dichlorobenzene 5 ug/l 10 NYCRR Part 5

The goal of the groundwater portion of the selected remedy is to restore groundwater at the perimeter of the waste disposal area of the Site to its most beneficial use, which is as a supply of potable water. Based on information obtained during the RI and on a careful analysis of remedial alternatives, EPA believes that the selected remedy will achieve this goal. It may become apparent, during implementation or operation of the groundwater extraction system, that contaminant levels have ceased to decline and are remaining constant at levels higher than the remediation goal over some portion of the contaminated plume. In such a case, the system performance standards and/or the remedy may be reevaluated.

The selected remedy will include groundwater extraction for an estimated period of .12 years, during which the system's performance will be carefully monitored on a regular basis and adjusted as warranted by the performance data collected during operation. Modifications may include any or all of the following:

- Discontinuing pumping at individual wells where cleanup goals have been attained

- Alternating pumping at wells to eliminate stagnation

- Pulse pumping to allow aquifer equilibration and to allow adsorbed contaminants to partition into groundwater

- Installing additional extraction wells to facilitate or accelerate cleanup of the contaminant plume

During the performance of long-term monitoring, EPA may determine ™ that a remedial action objective has been met. For the long-term ^ groundwater monitoring program, EPA will continue to monitor on a semi-annual basis for at least 2 years after cleanup levels are achieved and groundwater extraction/treatment has ceased in order to ensure that cleanup levels are maintained. Upon meeting all remedial objectives, or determining that the Site has been ^

29

sufficiently purged of contaminants so that public health is no longer threatened by exposure to the Site, EPA will initiate proceedings to delete the Site from the National Priorities List.

The response action also reduces the movement and toxicity of the contaminated landfill leachate into groundwater, and subsequent downgradient migration of contaminants.

STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

Under its legal authorities, EPA's primary responsibility at Superfund sites is to undertake remedial actions that achieve protection of human health and the environment. In addition, Section 121 of CERCLA establishes several other statutory requirements and preferences. These specify that when complete, the selected remedial action for this Site must comply with applicable or relevant and appropriate environmental standards established under Federal and State environmental laws unless a statutory waiver is justified. The selected remedy also must be cost-effective and utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable. Finally, the statute includes a preference for remedies that employ treatment that permanently and significantly reduces the volume, toxicity, or mobility of hazardous wastes, as available. The following sections discuss how the selected remedy meets these statutory requirements. The contingency remedy would meet these requirements in the same fashion, the only difference being the means of groundwater treatment.

Protection of Human Health and the Environment

Alternative 4A and the contingency remedy are considered to be fully responsive to this criterion and to the identified remedial response objectives. Capping the landfill protects human health and the environment by reducing the mobility of contaminated materials off-site. The leaching of contaminants into the wetlands and aquifers will be significantly reduced. In addition, capping the landfill will eliminate threats posed to trespassers utilizing the Site. The extraction and treatment of contaminants in groundwater will prevent the off-site ground­water from being contaminated above drinking water standards, thereby ensuring that the community continues to have a potable supply of drinking water. 2

c Compliance with ARARs

o Attainment of chemical-specific ARARs for groundwater will be ° hastened due to reduced leaching following construction of the cap and the extraction and treatment of ground water. The source M of surface water contamination (leachate seeps) will be <T,

Cost Effectiveness

The selected remedy provides overall effectiveness proportional to its cost. The total capital and present worth costs for the remedy are estimated to be $3,955,000 and $8,207,000, respectively. For the contingency remedy the corresponding costs are $3,989,000 and $8,774,000. A detailed breakdown of the estimated costs of the selected remedy is provided in Table 9.

Utilization of Permanent Solutions and Alternative Treatment t Technologies to the Maximum Extent Practicable

o The selected remedy and contingency remedy utilize pemnanent ^ solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the maximum extent practicable. Note that Alternative 4A groundwater ^ treatment is considered to be innovative. The selected remedy represents the best balance of trade-offs among the alternatives with respect to the evaluation criteria. The State and the community also support the selected remedy.

The extraction and subsequent treatment of groundwater will permanently and significantly reduce the toxicity, mobility, and voluma of contaminants in the groundwater. A treatability study will bs performed to demonstrate that the innovative technology jalectad for.treating the groundwater is effective. If the treatability study indicates that this technology is not effective, then the contingency remedy. Alternative 4, shall be Implemented.

With the construction of the landfill cap, the direct contact risk to the soils will be eliminated. No technological problems should arise since the technologies for capping the landfill are readil'y available.

Preference for Treatment as a Principal Element

The statutory preference for remedies that employ treatment as a principal element cannot be satisfied for the source area i.e. tha landfill itself. Treatment of the landfill material is not p.cacticable. The size of the landfill and the fact that there are no identified on-sits hot spots that represent the major sources of contamination preclude a remedy in which contaminants could be excavated and treated effectively. However, the selected remedy and contingency remedy do call fof the treatment of contaminated groundwater at the Site and hence do satisfy the preference for treatment for this portion of the remedy.

DOCUMENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

There are no significant changes from the preferred alternative presented in the Proposed Plan.

RESPONSfVENESS SUMMARY

HERTEL LANDRLL SUPERFUND SITE

The Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) reports and the PrqDOsed Plan fcx the Site were made available for public review on July 27, 1991. The ckxuments were placed in information repositories located at the Town of Rattekill Town Hall, Rcxites 44/55, Mcxlera, NY, and ttie Plattekill Public Uxary, Route 32, Modena, NY. A puUic meeting was hekj at the Town of Plattekill Town Hall on August 14 ,1^1 , for representatives of t\e United States EnvircxTnental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 to present the results of "le RI/FS and the Proposed Plan tor remediation of the Site. A period for public review arKl comment o i these docunents was initjally established from July 27, 1991, to August 26, 1 ^ 1 .

Public notices appeared CXI or abojt July 29,1^1,in'TheNewPaltzNews,"ThePoughkeepsJe Journal," 'The Daily Freeman," and 'The Times Herald Record." These rtotices anrourK»d the availat>ility of the Plan at tiie Information Repositories, provided a summary of the Plan, and provided the dates for the public meeting and the public comment period.

During the public comment period, Westem_ Publishing Company of Radne, Wisaxisin, a potentially responsible party (PRP), petitioned EPA for an extension of the comment periaj. EPA granted an extension until Septemt>er 19, 1 ^ 1 . A second request for extension was granted to another PRP, DeLaval, which resulted in a comment period totalling sixty days, which ended on September 25, 1 ^ 1 .

The following section is a summary of comments and questions received from the public, with EPA's responses. The section is divided into two parts. Part A includes questions and comments raised at tine meeting. The responses provided below are a summary of statements made at the public meeting; however, in several cases, the responses provided at the meeting have been supplemented with additional information. Part B includes responses to written questi'ons and comments which were sent to EPA during the comment period.

PART A

Question: What is the timetable for implementing the selected alternative? When would EPA begin?

Response: The timetable for implementing the remaify is dependent on the alternative ultimately selected. The prcpDsed alternative, Altemative 4A, woukj take m approximately 36 months to implement After the Record of Decision ^ (ROD) is signed, measures would be taken to attempt to ^ewe the PRPs implement t ie remediation. These administrative steps could involve § negotiations with several PRPs whch could last several months. Tf^ actual ^ design of the remedy is ex{^:tKl to take 12-18 rrxxiths. Ihe actual period of construction is also exj^cted to take approximately 12 to 18 months, resulting in a total estimate on the order of 36 months.

Question: Has tie profX)sed process been used at any other Site, and, if so, how effective has it been?

Response: The capping of t e disposal areas would be corducted h accordarxe with the New Yori< State Code of Rules and Regulations Part 360 standards for ctosure of sanitary v\/aste landfills. Numerous larxlfills across the State have been rapped in axordance with tese roijuirements. StarxJard construction fXcctices ard «:juipment woud be utilized for the cap constiixaion, afthough since the Site is a Superfund site, all wori<ers woud have to urdergo ap{xc>/ed heatth ard safety training.

The proposed microfilti tion ard UV oxdation gr jrdwata" ti-eatinent techriologies fxoposed ureter Altemative 4A are hnovative freatment systems which are curentiy rduded in EPA's Superfund Imovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) prcgram. There is currentiy a great incentive to irrtroduce inriovative t^tindogy in remedial ^:tivities. The miaofirtration tKtindogy has t ^ n jointiy developed by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc. ard Oberiin Filter Company. The special type of filter utilized in the microfifration unit has been used successfully in ottier irdustries as weH as at the Palmerton Zinc Suf^rfurd site for ti^ renxival of metals from t\e waste sti-eam. Treatability shjdies will be perfcxmed to ensure t e effectiveness of tiie prcK:ess for t e type of grcxjrdwater ard metals at Hertel.

Question:

Response:

The elimination of organics using ozone and ultraviolet light is a pilot process developed by Ulti-ox International and evaluated by EPA under t e SITE program. This particular prcxess has been denxxistiBted successfully v^^ certain organic compounds. Again, f eatability studies would be performed involving tie organics specific to Hertel.

Is the process proposed for Hertel typical of procedures used for other landfill closures? Is t e cost per acre of capping generalizable?

As noted above, tfie proposed cap is not unique ard will be constructed in accordafX« with State requirements for sanitary lardfill dosure. This type of cap has t^en ccxistructKl at numerous otiier sanitary landfills, some of which are induded on State or Federal lists of hazardous waste sites. The process proposed for groundwater treatment is different from processes generally used at otf>er lardfiUs.

Capping cost per aae is very much a function of the size, side slop^ ard other -existing physical dTaracteristics of the terdfill. Generally speakkig ecorxxnies of scale can be realizaj in cappirg a lardfill, i.e., as the size of the landfill irxreases, the cost p r a:re wcxid decrease.

Are tiTere to be any rroTitoring systems for vented gases to see if anytfung other t a n methane is cxming ft^m tfTe landfill?

The proposed rem«jy calls for tte cap to te consti\x:ted with gas vents. These vents will be rrxxiitored for metiiane, as well as crtfer ccxitaminants. At ttTJs time, other contaminants are not expected to be of concern. If it is determinaJ tfiat offer ccxTtaminants are of concern, rreasures can subsequentiy be taken to ti^eat such contaminants to ensure pxotection of human f^ahh and tfTe envircximent. This fXDSSitxIity will t e given additional consideraticxi during t e design phase.

What happens to t e groundwater after it has teen tf-eated?

The proposed remedy calls for t e treated groundwater to te discharged to surface water unless detiimental impacts would result from such action. Other discharge options, such as reinjection into t e aquifer, wiW be evaluated during t e remedial design.

How many gallons of contaminatKl water will t e pxoposed plant tf-eat per day?

The current estimate is 14,0CXD gallons per day.

Why would treated water be discharged into the sti-eam rather t a n back into the lardfill to be ccxrtinuously reti"eated?

Water discharged into surface water woud have to meet New York State discharge limits. It is antidpatKJ ttiat the tf-eated grcxjnd water woud be discharged to t e surface water unless it is determined that t e surface water discharge option has a detiimental impact on t e wetiards, or is not effective for some otiner reason, in any event reinjection will be furttier evaluated as a discharge option during the renredial design phase.

What was t e detenmining factcx in choosing Altemative 4A C5ver 4?

The alternatives were evaluated against 9 evaluaticxi criteria namely: Overall protection of human heattfi ard t e environment; Long-term effectiveness and permanence; Redu<:tion of toxicity, mobility, ex volume; Short-tenm effectiveness; Implementability; Cost; State acceptance; ard Community acceptance. The Superfund legislaticxi also estat>lishes a pxeferenc^ for remedies v\/hich utilize innovative teciinologies to t e greatest extent prac:ticable. EPA feels tinat overall Altemative 4A is tiie alternative tiTat test satisfies t e 9 criteria. Atthough Altemative 4 is very similar to Altemative 4A in terms of satisfying t e 9 criteria, Altemative 4A also satisfies t e statutory preference for utilization of innovative technologies. EPA realizes tfiat tere are some questions r^arding t e inrx)vative natijre of Alternative 4A and therefore has identified t e reed for freatability stijdies to evaluate t\e ability of tfiis innovative treatment system to effectively ti-eat t e grouncKvater at t e Site. lYe treatment system would not te operated cxi a fijil-scale basis at t e Site unless it is shown to be effective in t e ti-eatability studies.

Question(s): Several audience membas had questions palaining to tf-e ptecarent of HTonitoring wells, tfTe sampling of water at neariDy Ixxres, tire testing of groundwater near tfTe landfill, and tfTe state of tfre wetlands sajinrent

Response (s): Additional nnonitoring wells called for under tfTe proposed remajy will hdude a combinaticxT C3f overtDurden and t>^rcx:k aquifer wells. In additicxT, residential wells will also be sampled as part of tfTe monitoring program. EPA sampled eleven residential wells during tfTe RI/FS. These 11 wells were sampled due to tfTe fact tfrat tfrey were rduded in a previous sampling event conducted by tfTe Ulster County Healtfr Department (UCHD) and as such, tfTe results of tfre two sampling events could t e ccxnp)ared over time. There was not an intent to samF)!e wells for tfre sole purpose of testing drinking water quality. These wells were also intended to provide information similar to tfTat provided by nronitcxing wells. Now tfTat the direction of tfre groundwater flow is known, there may be a new grcxjping of residential wells sampled as part of tfTe nrxxiitoring pxogram. The same 11 houses may be resampled as part of tfrat stijdy, altfTOugh tfris determination will be made during tfre planning stages for tire nnonitoring program. There is no apparent n e ^ to test wells in tfre ti-ailer pari< nortfr of tfTe site because tfTe direction of grounchA^er flow is away ft-om tfTe pari<.

NYSDOH sampled residential wells at nine homes along Route 44/55. As stated by a NYSDOH representative at tfTe public meeting, NYSDOH is willing to ccxisider requests fi-om residents for additional residential well sampling. In fact, based on r&xrit discussions hed t)etween EPA, NYSDEC, NYSDOH and UCHD it was agreed tfTat tfre UCHD woud obtain samples ft'om homes on Tuckers Comer Road and send tfrem to NYSDOH for analysis. This program has been initiatKi.

The analytical results for tire samples coll«3ed in tire wetiands cjd indicate that contaminants had migrated to tfre wetiands and tfiat tfre ocxitinued migration of contaminants to tire wetlands may have potential e d v ^ ^ environmental impacts. The pxoposed r e m ^ does not call fiDr tire excavation of wetiand sediments. In fact, during tfre course of tfre rem^iation, efforts will be made to minimize tfre impacrts to tfre wetlands.

Question: At different areas witfrin tfTe Site, could tfrere te a different bedrock aquifer flow direction?

Response: Variation in flow direction is more likely to cxxur witfrin tfTe shallow aquifer tfran witfrin tire deeper aquifer. Flow nearer tfTe surface is typically more topographically oriented, whereas flow in tfTe tedrcck aquifer is mere regionally oriented. In tfTis instance, based on available data, tfTe bedrock groundwater is believed to be flowing in an east nortfreast direction towards tfTe Hudson River.

Response:

Will Superfund money pay fiDr tf^ remediation? In what manner might taxpayers pay?

Superfund will not necessarily pay. The Superfund program has a strcxig emphasis cxi errfcxcement aind requires every effort be made to dartify and arrange for prrtentialty respxxisible parties to remediate tire site tfremselves under EPA direction. It is antidpated tfrat upon signature of tfre ROD, negotiations will te initiated witfT pxjtentially responsible parties in an attempt to have tfrem undertake tfTe remedial design and remedial action. Superfund itself is autfxxized by Ccrgress ard several efferent aveni.es rrf fijnds are channeted into the ova3ll ftjrding appropriation. The majority of tfre fijrds corre ftxxn a chemical f^dstcx:k tax, a petrcteum tax, and a broad based corporate tax. CoTtiibutkxrs are also made ft'om general tax revenues, ard legal a:tions to recover expenditijres tor Site activities ft'om responable panties.

Several audience members raised questions and ccxnments concerning tfTe nature and extent of any deed restiictions, or restrictions on fijtijre development of tfTe Site tfrat might be recommended. In additicxi concerns were raised about tfre px tential effects of any such restiicticxTS on tfre tax base of tfTe community. Ore person raised a concem tfTat if use of the site were significantiy restiicted, tfTe ownership of tfre lard wcxjd eventually revert to tfre County as a result of tax delinquency and tfre County might beccxne responsible for deanup of tfre landfill.

The proposed ROD indudes tfTe recommendation tfrat institutional controls such as ordinances or deed restrictions be imposed en tfTe Site property to ensure tfTat any futijre use of tfTe site property will maintain tfre integrity of tfre cap. EPA regulaticxis aeate a strong preference for ti-eatirent to desti-oy the hazards presented by tire wastes. However, as typical in munidpal lardfill remediations, tfTe destiucticxT of tfre wastes at tfre Hertel Landfill is impxacticable because of tfTe high volume ard relatively taw toxicity of tfTe wastes and tfTe absence of "hot spots" of ccxitaminatien. This situation necessitates tfTe use of engineering controls such as tfre cap. Institijtional ccxTti-ols are necessary to ensure tfTat tfTe int^rity of tirese engin^ring controls is maintained over time.

The institijtional corrtrols should be applied to tfre area of tfTe Site tfTat is necessary toe maintenance of tfre engineering corrtf-ols.

At tfris tinre, it is not anticipated tfTat tfre other areas of tf^ Site (approximately 67 aaes) will require institijticral corrtrols as a r^ult of tfre Superfurd rem^ial acticn.

WitfT resj:»ct to tfre potential for evenrtual reversion of tfre prop)erty to t e County as a result of tax default and ccxTsequent County respxxrsib'lity as an owner of tfre Site, tfre provisions of tfre Superfund law are complex.

Hov /ever, certain other a::ticxTS taken by such govemment, c3tfTer tfTan tfTe involuntary acquisition itself, might independentiy subject tfTe bcal govemment to liability.

This issue and related liability issues have teen tfTe subject of substantial recent litigation. EPA published proposed regulations on June 5, 1991 in an attempt to darify tfTese liability issues. In light of tfrese recent changes, it is rot possible to provide definitive guidance conceming tfTese issues, tt would be t e County's responsibility to keep apprised of its potential legal liability conceming tfTe Site if it were to acquire tfre property as a result of tax delinquency.

"established ti^ck reccxd" will be imF)lenTented as a contingency reredy. AltfTOugh Altemative 4A's t-ack record is not tfrat "establishecr, tfre selec jon of Altemative 4A is dearly consistent witfT tfre statutory prefe'ence for tfTe seieeiion of remedies which utilize innovative tectroJogies.

Comment(s): EPA's choice of Altemative 4A is not supjported tjy tfre Proposed Plan. Page 8 of tfTe Proposed Plan states tfTat Altemative 4 provides tfre best balance among tfTe nine evaluation criteria Since tfre tectroiogy is relatively new tfrere may not be vendors who can inpJeneit tfre technology ncr experienced personnel to run tfre system once it is constnjcte '. The rexxd does not dN^mexistrate tfrat Altenrative 4A is cost effective.

Response: The reference cxr page 8 was a typxjgraphical error. The Prefered Altemative section of tire Proposed Plan explidtiy states tfrat Aftsmative 4A is tfTe proposed remedy for tfTe Site. EPA always seleSs as its preferred altemative, tfTe altemative tfTat test satisfies tfre nine evaluation criteria and tfTe preferences of tfTe Statute, which in tfTis ease is Altemative 4A. In addition, tfTe public notice, press releases, and tfre presentation at tfre August 14 public meeting, deariy dentified Altemative 4A as tire preferred altemative. Altemative 4A is dentical to Altemative 4 witfr the excepticn of tfTe proposed metfrod of ti^eating exti-acted groundwater. AltfTOugh Altemative 4 is very similar to Altemative 4A in terms of satisfying tfTe nine criteria. Alternative 4A also satisfies tfTe statijtcxy preference tor utilization of innovative technologies.

As tfTe PRP noted, Altemative 4 is a "nnore standard tireatment". However, consistent witfT statiJtory preferences, an innovative altemative shoud not be eliminated ft-om selection solely because of uncertainties associated witfr performance, tt is undeniable tfTat vendors and experienced personnel are more readily available tor conventional treatinent alternatives than for innovative alternatives. If relative avalability were tfre only condusive criterion, innovative technologies woud never be selected ard tfTe statutory preference tor innovative tf'eatment woud never te satisfied. EPA t>elieves tfTat vendors ard services will be available to implerrent tfre innovative Altemative 4A.

In additicxi, attfTough Altemative 4A requires tfre ccxiduct of a treatability study, it is antidpated tfTat tfTe ti-eatability study woud cost tess tfran $150,000. As such, Altemative 4A is less costfy tfran Alterrative 4 ard provdes overall effertiveness proportionate to its cost.

However, tfre attanment of chemical specific ARARs in tfre groundwater at tfre perirreter of tfre landfill is dependent upon tfTe placement of exbaction wells ard tfre rate of extraction of groundwater. These design criteria are tfTe same for botfT Altemative 4A ard Altemative 4 ard tfrereftxe, berth altematives woud be similar in tfreir ability to nneet chemical specific ARARs in tfTe grourdwater and tfTeir prcjtection of human healtfr ard tire envircxTment

Commenit(s): The Proposed Plan dees not darify tfTe duraticxi of time tfrat groundv\^er must ccxitinue to OTeet ARARs and does not quantify tfre duration of any additional "pulsed pumping" tfTat may te ne»ssary. In tfre absence of a final cut off ftDT groundwater ti^eatfrent ex a waiver tor technical impracticability, groundwater treatment at tfTe Site cxxid ccxitinue indefinitely.

Page 106: RECORD OF DECISION, HERTEL LANDFILL SITE, TOWN OF ... · The Hertel Landfill was established in 1963 as a municipal waste landfill. Based upon an analysis of aerial photos it is believed

system performance standards and/or tfie remedy may te reevaluated.

The selected remedy will indude grourdwater extinction tor an estimated period of 12 years, during which tfre system's performance will be careftjily monitiDred en a regular basis ard adjusted as warranted by tfre performance data collected during operation. Modificatiexis may induete any or all of tfTe ftDlbwing:

- Discontinuing pxjmping at indivdual wells where deanup goals have teen attained

- Alternating pumping at v ells to elimniate stagnation

- Pulse pumping to altow aquifer equilibration and to altow adsorbed ccxitaminants to partition into groundwater

- Installing additional extraction wells to fadlitate or acceterate deanup C3f tire cxxitaminant plume

During tfre performance of torg-term monitoring, EPA may determine tfTat tfTe remedial action objectives have tDeen met For tfTe torg-term grourdwater rircnitoring prcDgram, EPA will continue to monitor on a semi­annual basis for at least 2 years after deanup tevels are achteved, and groundwater extraction/tf-eatment has ceased, in order to ensure tfrat deanup tevels are maintained.
