1.0 INTRODUCTION
Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU), a Division of MDU Resources Group Inc., is a local distribution company which provides retail natural gas and electric service to 251 communities in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. The company's numerous gas distribution systems serve 175,000 customers with a peak natural gas load of approximately 304,488 Mcf per day. MDU's natural gas supplies are either purchased from or transported through Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (WBI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MDU Resources Group Inc.
As a result of national attention regarding existing or potential PCB problems within the gas industry, WBI developed an ongoing PCB testing program to insure that its systems were continuing to operate free of PCBs. This routine monitoring program indicated the presence of PCB concentrations, predominantly Arochlor 1268, above 50 parts per million in liquids collected from one segment of the WBI pipeline facilities. Because WBI and MDU are part of the same corporate family and were not segregated into different operating entities until 1985, MDU was notified. Since notification, MDU and WBI have undertaken an extensive sampling program to further define the nature and extent of the PCB presence.
MDU and WBI determined that certain valves purchased from Rockwell International, were likely delivered from the factory containing a sealant which contained PCBs as Arochlor 1268. The use and presence of Arochlor 1268 is relatively uncommon as compared to species used in the paper and electrical industries. After further investigation, it was also determined that some of the maintenance sealant purchased from Rockwell was of the same formulation.
The sealant is a semi-solid petroleum based lubricant. Lubrication is essential for proper operation of Rockwell plug valves, and sealant must be replaced when depleted from valve surfaces due to conditions of temperature, pressure and frequency of operation. Rockwell sealants designated as Lubricant 860 and 991 contain high levels of Arochlor 1268.
Under normal distribution system operating conditions, PCBs will not migrate from the sealant to areas beyond the valves. However, when a valve is exposed to natural gas condensates, the dissolution of the sealant may occur allowing the PCBs to migrate with the condensate. MDU has determined that discrete portions of some of its systems exhibit the presence of PCBs as a result of this process.

MDU has initiated a program to assess the extent of PCBs in its distribution systems for the purpose of preparing and implementing a remediation program. This technical work plan outlines MDU's approach to management of the PCBs.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this work plan is to provide a description of the methods and procedures to be followed in conducting PCB management activities for the MDU facilities. This work plan includes:
a summary of available data; a description of the condensate handling program; a description of the equipment handling program; and an approach to evaluate distribution systems.
This work plan also delineates the necessary supporting documents to assure the quality of information to be obtained, along with the health and safety requirements of those implementing this work plan.
1.2 Goal
It is the goal of MDU to contain, reduce or eliminate PCBs from all MDU distribution systems in a technically sound and cost effective manner while complying with applicable laws and regulations.
1.3 Current Status
MDU has established a program to assure the orderly progress to meet the above goal, and activities are currently underway to prevent PCB exposure to workers, the public and the environment.
1.3.1 Health and Environment
The safety of the public and the distribution systems employees is important to MDU. MDU has evaluated the potential risks of PCB exposure to the public, the distribution systems employees, and the environment. The evaluation included internal operational and sampling information, as well as data from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study of pipeline contamination in the northeastern United States (EPA 1984). Based on this evaluation, a risk assessment is not necessary. This evaluation is attached in Appendix A.

MDU has had an active PCB management program for its electric operations since the 1970's. This program has provided for the systematic removal of PCBs from electric system equipment, and includes worker training, proper storage procedures, inspections, and reporting. Because of this program, MDU has considerable experience regarding the appropriate handling and disposal of PCBs. After the discovery of PCBs in the gas distribution systems, information on handling PCBs in gas line liquids was added to the company's Hazard Communication Program. MDU has conducted worker safety training programs for gas personnel who may be exposed to PCBs in handling condensate, meters, removed pipe, or valve grease. This program is designed to ensure that personal protective equipment is utilized when potential PCB exposure exists.
Additionally, MDU has provided specific written guidance to employees on the procedures to be followed in situations where PCB exposure is possible. This guidance provides basic information on the nature and characteristics of PCBs along with procedures for controlling potential migration routes from distribution system facilities.
1.3.2 Regulatory Evaluation
MDU has conducted an evaluation of all relevant regulatory requirements related to the use and handling of PCB containing fluid, equipment, and materials. This work plan complies with pertinent requirements for:
cleaning, disposal, labeling, transportation, and storage.
1.3.3 PCB Sampling Program
In establishing a database for work plan development, MDU has collected and analyzed samples of materials for PCBs. This database includes samples of condensate and grease from ail natural gas distribution operating divisions. Natural gas samples were collected from one division where PCBs had been identified in condensate. A summary of this information is provided in Section 2.0.

PCB-ARCH-EXT0371896
1.3.4 Condensate Collection and Handling Program
Since PCBs are generally only mobile when contained in natural gas condensates, MDU has instituted a program to ensure the proper collection, handling, and/or disposal of such condensates.
1.3.5 Equipment Remediation
As an alternative to disposal, MDU is investigating a program to remove PCBs from affected distribution systems equipment taken out of service. MDU is currently evaluating the most efficient and cost effective techniques for the removal of PCBs from valves, meters, pipes, and fittings. This approach will assure that reuse of such equipment will not reintroduce PCBs into distribution system facilities.
1.3.6 Quality Assurance Project Plan
The QAPP will be applied throughout the entire sampling and analysis program and will include the following QA/QC procedures: 1) sample collection, handling, and preservation; 2) laboratory analyses; 3) data validation, management, and interpretation.
Specific activities will include: data quality objectives, glassware preparation, sampling equipment preparation, surface soil, valve grease sampling, condensate sampling, field documentation, PCB analytical procedures, and applicable QA/QC procedures (i.e., surrogate compounds, precision, accuracy, completeness and documentation).
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are currently in place for many of the sampling and analysis procedures used by MDU and WBI. Procedures and methods not having a specific SOP will be identified, and SOPs will be prepared accordingly.

2.0 SUMMARY OF AVAILABLE DATA
MDU has analyzed samples for the presence of PCBs from various locations throughout the MDU distribution systems. The following subsections provide a description of the sample and source characteristics, the analytical results, analytical methods, and data evaluation.
2.1 Sample and Source Characteristics
The samples have been categorized into three sample types. A description of the sample types and respective sources is provided below:
Grease. This is a semi-solid petroleum lubricant/sealant used in lubricated plug valves in the natural gas distribution systems. Samples of grease have been collected from two primary sources: 1) grease from in-service valves located at regulator stations, meter settings, and various points in the distribution systems; and 2) grease guns used to service the valves.
Condensate. This is the hydrocarbon liquid product which separates from natural gas as a result of temperature and pressure changes within the distribution pipelines. This may also include oily liquids, water, glycol, and alcohol in varying amounts. Condensate samples have been collected from meters, gas/condensate separation equipment (e.g., drips, scrubbers, knockouts), and from condensate storage equipment.
Gas. This is the natural gas transported as product throughout the MDU systems. Natural gas consists primarily of methane with minor amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and higher hydrocarbons. Gas samples were collected from utilization points.
2.2 Analytical Results by Sample Type
A summary of the analytical results are presented by sample type in Table 2-1. A complete printout of the analytical database is presented in Appendix B. The analytical results of each sample type are discussed below.
2.2.1 Grease Gun Analytical Results
A total of 41 samples of grease were collected from hydraulic grease guns and analyzed for the presence of PCBs. Of these, 30 grease samples contained less than 2 ppm PCBs. An

additional five grease samples contained between 2 and 50 ppm PCBs. Three grease gun samples contained concentrations between 50 and 499 ppm PCBs, and three samples contained concentrations greater than 500 ppm PCBs. The predominant species of PCBs has been identified as Arochlor 1268. Minor amounts of Arochlors 1242,1254, and 1260 are also present.
2.2.2 In-Service Valve Grease Analytical Results
A total of 87 samples of grease were collected from in-service valves and analyzed for the presence of PCBs. Fifty-four of these samples contained concentrations of less than 2 ppm PCBs, and an additional 22 valve samples contained concentrations between 2 and 50 ppm. Five samples contained PCB concentrations between 50 and 499 ppm, and six samples contained concentrations above 500 ppm. The predominant species of PCBs has been identified as Arochlor 1268. Minor amounts of Arochlor 1242, 1254, and 1260 are also present.
2.2.3 Condensate Analytical Results
A total of 25 samples of natural gas condensate were collected and analyzed for the presence of PCBs. Twelve of these 25 samples contained concentrations of PCBs less than 2 ppm PCBs. Eight samples contained between 2 and 50 ppm PCBs, and five samples contained con centrations between 50 and 499 ppm. No condensate samples contained concentrations above 500 ppm PCBs. Again, the predominant species of PCBs has been identified as Arochlor 1268. Minor amounts of Arochlor 1242, 1254, and 1260 are also present.
2.2.4 Gas Analytical Results
A total of two gas samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of PCBs. Neither of these samples contained quantifiable amounts of PCBs. Gas samples are identified as "OrboTube" in the analytical database.
2.3 Analytical Results by Operating Division
The MDU gas distribution systems are divided into seven operating divisions. These divisions include the Billings, Black Hills (Rapid City), Glendive, Williston, Minot, Dickinson, and Bismarck divisions and are depicted on the division map provided in Appendix C. An eighth division, Mobridge, is also shown on the map. This division is excluded from the following discussion because operations are limited to electrical utilities.

2.4 Analytical QA/QC Summary
The majority of analytical work has been performed in WBI's laboratory. In order to ensure the proper performance of all analytical work and the development of representative data, a QA/QC program was implemented. The major aspects of this program are discussed below.
3496-004

PCB-ARCH-EXT0371905
2.4.1 Sampling QA/QC
Sampling QA/QC includes the preparation of written SOPs for use by field personnel in the collection of samples from the various media. It also includes chain of custody (COC) procedures and the use of a field data sheet. The quality and integrity of each sample has been further assured through the use of field sampling kits which are prepared by WBI's analytical laboratory located in Glendive, Montana. Each kit contains a 40-50 ml wide mouth bottle with a foil lined cap, latex gloves, sample labels, COC forms, ziploc bags, field data forms, and a copy of the sampling SOP.
Collected samples are packaged to prevent breakage and sent to the WBI laboratory. Copies of the COC's and field data sheets are maintained.
2.4.2 Analytical QA/QC
Analytical QA/QC includes the use of written SOPs for the extraction and analysis of the samples of various matrices by gas chromatography (GC). The SOP for analysis by GC follows ASTM standard procedures D3304-83 and D4059-86. The GC instrument is a Hewlett-Packard Model 5713A. Sample information is controlled both by a manual entry laboratory log book and a computerized system. Results of PCB concentrations and curves for each PCB Arochlor are computer generated. The concentration data are recorded in the master log book and entered into the computer. The computer generates a spreadsheet which includes sample number, location, collector, and collection date.
The GC instrument is calibrated using three different standards and a blank. Working standards are prepared from primary standards supplied by EPA. A calibration curve is generated for each batch of samples (typically there are 20 to 40 samples per batch). Duplicate samples are analyzed at a rate of 10 percent or one per batch of less than 10 samples.
Other QA/QC activities include the calibration and maintenance of the analytical balance (Mettler Model HL52), use of high grade solvent (iso-octane etc.), routine maintenance of the GC, and use of EPA approved glassware cleaning procedures. Original data reports are filed in the analytical laboratory.

2.5 Discussion of Analytical Results
A total of four Arochlor species were detected in samples collected from the MDU systems. Of these four species, three (Arochlors 1242, 1254, and 1260) were found at relatively low concentrations in a limited number of samples.
The predominant species of PCBs detected in the various grease samples has been identified as Arochlor 1268. Based on WBI analytical results obtained to date, the source of this contaminant is believed to be certain sealants manufactured by Rockwell International. WBI samples of Rockwell 860 and Rockwell 991 sealants exhibited Arochlor 1268 concentrations in excess of 50 ppm. A limited number of grease samples collected from MDU grease guns and in-service valves also exhibited Arochlor 1242, 1254, and 1260 levels above 50 ppm.
The presence of Arochlors 1242,1254, and 1260 at low levels in a small number of samples may indicate:
limited transport of PCBs from other sources at interconnect locations, aging of Arochlors from 1268 to less saturated species, or masking of GC fingerprints by the presence of carboxylicacids in a grease matrix.
Gas samples have been collected from the Bismarck division. The analysis of the gas samples indicates that PCBs are not present in the gas transported in the MDU distribution systems. For this reason, the transport of PCBs in the gas stream appears to be highly unlikely. This finding is consistent with other studies relating to PCBs in natural gas (EPA 1984).
PCBs have not been identified above 500 ppm in natural gas condensates in any of MDU's operating divisions. PCBs have been detected between 50 and 499 ppm in natural gas condensate from three operating divisions, specifically, the Bismarck, Dickinson, and Glendive divisions.

3.0 CONDENSATE HANDLING PROGRAM
3.1 Condensate Collection Program
As discussed in Section 1.0 the primary route for the potential migration of PCBs from the grease matrix to workers, the public, and the environment is the dissolution of the grease by distribution system condensates. Therefore, MDU has supplemented their existing condensate management program to provide an even more aggressive and comprehensive approach to ensure the appropriate containment and disposal of condensates. This program is designed to provide assurance that condensate which occurs in the distribution systems is collected, contained, and disposed in an environmentally sound manner.
MDU collects condensate where it occurs in the distribution systems, however, very little condensate is present in MDU distribution systems. A collection program has been in place since condensates interfere with the efficient distribution of natural gas. MDU has provided training for field personnel on the proper handling of liquids which have the potential to contain PCBs. At those locations of the distribution systems where detectable levels of PCBs have been identified in pipeline liquids, MDU personnel will collect and store all liquids in accordance with requirements of 40 CFR 761. At those locations where PCBs have not been identified, the condensate collected will not be handled as PCBs until they arrive at a storage facility. However, in order to protect employees and the environment, all condensate and oily liquids will be collected, stored, and disposed as per the requirements of 40 CFR 761.
MDU will utilize existing storage facilities or construct new facilities as necessary to provide proper storage of all condensate potentially containing PCBs. MDU has seven PCB storage areas that meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 761.65. MDU currently has in place a PCB Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for all storage areas.
Specific steps to be followed by MDU personnel are as follows:
1. All condensate from areas tested where regulated levels of PCBs have been found, are considered to be PCB containing and may be mixed for storage and disposal, based on the requirements for the highest level of PCBs assumed to be present prior to mixing fluids.
2. When several condensate collection points are located at one site, all condensate will be accumulated in one container and one sample collected.

3. Condensate from untested locations within individual MDU distribution systems may be mixed in a common container, but the resultant mixture will be handled as if it contains a concentration of 50 ppm PCBs.
4. If any condensate with a PCB content of 500 ppm or greater is added to a bulk container, the contents of the entire container must be considered to have a content of 500 ppm or greater PCBs.
5. Condensate from tested locations will be assumed to be of the concentration of the initial test, unless and until MDU resamples the location, or has reason to believe the nature of the liquid has changed.
6. Condensate from areas tested and found to contain less than regulated levels of PCBs will be retested at intervals to verify that they remain unregulated.
7. Condensate will be collected in appropriate drums, until full, and then transported to the nearest PCB storage facility. If temporary storage is necessary, the storage area will have a SPCC plan developed prior to any storage of PCB containing materials. The material will be removed to a permanent storage area within 30 days.
Condensate from gas operations will be segregated from electric operations PCB wastes until such time as they are characterized and proper disposal procedures are selected. Any spilled condensate suspected of containing PCBs will be handled in accordance with the spill cleanup requirements of 40 CFR Part 761.120.
3.1.1 Compliance Monitoring
MDU will implement a condensate collection compliance monitoring program to periodically inspect all distribution system facilities which store or collect condensate and all system locations where liquids may potentially exit the distribution systems. The monitoring program will provide the information necessary to ensure all collection procedures are effective and are properly implemented by MDU field personnel. The program will be conducted by MDU division supervisors under the coordination of the MDU environmental staff.
MDU has sampled condensate where it occurs throughout the distribution systems (see Section 2.0). One additional sample will be collected in areas where no regulated level of PCBs has been identified in condensate. If the additional test confirms there are no PCBs present above regulated levels, monitoring will be discontinued for those systems. Condensate from

areas initially found to contain regulated levels of PCBs will be managed as containing PCBs at the level of the most recent test, until and unless MDU determines that the area contains PCBs below regulated levels.
3.1.2 Recordkeeping
MDU will prepare records of the condensate volumes collected at each collection point. These volume records will be used to monitor condensate quantities within the MDU systems. MDU will maintain all records for the storage of PCBs as required by 40 CFR Part 761.65.

4.0 EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
The equipment management program provides the procedures and controls to safely handle, store, remove, transport, clean, and return to sen/ice or dispose of distribution systems equipment which may contain PCBs. The following subsections discuss these procedures.
4.1 Equipment Handling and Storage Plan
The equipment handling and storage plan addresses two categories of equipment:
equipment currently stored in MDU warehouses; and equipment currently in service.
Distribution equipment currently in service will remain in service until removed as part of MDU's routine maintenance or replacement programs. Equipment removed from service will be drained of all free liquids, which will be collected and stored in accordance with procedures described in Section 3.0. The equipment will then be handled as potentially PCB-containing equipment and tested for PCBs. Based on results of the testing, the equipment will be returned to service, cleaned or disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761.
All valves potentially lubricated with PCB-containing Rockwell sealant currently stored in MDU warehouses will either be disposed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761 or sampled according to section 4.2 to determine the level of PCB content.
MDU will use existing PCB storage facilities or construct a new structure(s), if necessary. The PCB storage facilities will meet the following criteria:
adequate roof and walls to eliminate rain water;
impervious floor with continuous curbing having a containment volume at least two times the internal volume of the largest PCB container or 25 percent of the total volume of ail PCB containers, whichever is greater;
no drain valves, floor drains, expansion joints, sewer lines, or other openings within the curbed area; and
site location above the 100-year flood water elevation.

4.2 Equipment Classification
4.2.1 Valves
4.2.1.1 Used Lubricated Plug Valves
All lubricated plug valves suspected of containing PCBs will be classified as salvageable or not salvageable. Equipment which MDU intends to reuse will be sampled either individually, or by combining equal amounts of sealant from up to five valves. If the results of the composite samples indicate that any one of the sampled valves contain PCB concentrations above 50 ppm, all the sampled valves will be classified as PCB equipment. For example, if five valves are sampled, and the composite sealant contains above 10 ppm PCBs, all five valves will be classified as PCB equipment.
Where the salvage value of a valve is less than the cost of sampling, MDU may elect to classify certain valve groups as PCB equipment without any analysis. This PCB equipment will be properly disposed according to 40 CFR Part 761.
4.2.1.2 New Lubricated Plug Valves
MDU presently has lubricated valves in stock as inventory. Some of these valves were purchased new and have not yet been placed in service. Other in-stock valves have been retired from previous service and have been reclaimed for reuse. Except for those valves which were recently purchased and placed in stock it is difficult to determine the exact vintage of each inventoried valve in stock. Therefore it is not possible to determine by vintage which valves may have been lubricated with a sealant containing PCBs except for those recently purchased.
In the absence of simply testing actual sealant samples taken from every lubricated valve that MDU has in inventory (except for those unused valves which can be verified by records as being purchased after January 1,1990) it is impossible to know with certainty which in-stock valves are not free of PCBs. It is expected, however, that the vast majority of MDU's on-the-shelf valves are free of PCBs. Until proven otherwise, MDU is taking the position that all inventoried valves which were purchased prior to January 1, 1990 are assumed to contain PCBs. New valves in stock which were purchased after January 1, 1990 will be considered to contain less than 50 ppm PCBs in the valve lubricant, and will be used as necessary in the distribution systems.
Valves in stock purchased prior to January 1,1990, will be sampled on the same basis as used valves and treated accordingly, depending on analysis of the valve grease or lubricant.
3496-004

January 1991
PCB-ARCH-EXT0371912
Lubricated valves containing PCB concentrations greater than 50 ppm may be cleaned or disposed as PCB articles, depending on economic factors.
4.2.2 Meters and Regulators
Dry meters and regulators removed from sen/ice under normal maintenance schedules will be handled as PCB free and will be returned to service. When meters or regulators removed from service in the course of normal maintenance are found to contain liquids, the equipment will be contained and transported to the maintenance area for draining and sampling. The equipment and liquids will be handled as if they contained PCBs, pending analytical results.
Liquids from meters and regulators will be handled according to the procedures outlined in Section 3.0. Depending on the replacement cost of the meters, and the PCB concentration levels, if detected, one of the following options will be selected:
clean in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761.79, dispose in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761.60, remediate according to an alternative approved technology, or return to service.
4.2.3 Hydraulic Grease Guns
MDU conducted a sampling program to evaluate PCB levels in all 41 hydraulic grease guns used to maintain valves in the distribution systems. Only six of these grease guns were found to contain PCB concentrations of greater than 50 ppm. MDU has handled all six guns in accordance with 40 CFR 761. They are currently being stored for cleaning and reuse in the distribution systems.
4.2.4 Pipe Classification
4.2.4.1 Removed Pipe in Existing Stockpiles
Presently, MDU has less than 3,000 feet of stockpiled pipe in six division pipe yards. This pipe is completely dry of any liquid, and will either be sold as scrap metal, or cut up and used by MDU for meter barriers and/or protective fences.

PCB-ARCH-EXT0371913
4.2.4.2 Pipe to be Removed or Abandoned in Place
It is the general practice in MDU's replacement projects to abandon distribution mains and services in place in the ground, after capping the pipe ends. Exceptions to this practice occur occasionally when the abandoned pipe interferes with the new gas distribution mains or with other utility or street grading projects. Economics and public inconvenience often supports leaving the abandoned pipe in place since, in most cases, replacement pipe is installed in a different location. In many replacement projects, new pipe is installed in alleys, whereas in the past, pipe was installed in streets.
For pipe which is to be abandoned in place the following procedures will be implemented:
Open pipe ends, at tie-in points for replacement pipe, will be inspected for evidence of condensate or liquids. Where such tie-in points are more than one city block apart, an inspection will be made at intervals not to exceed one city block to determine the presence, if any, of condensate or liquids. If no condensate or liquids are found at pipe ends, or at one block interval inspection points, the pipe ends will be capped and sealed.
If liquids are found at the open pipe ends or at the other inspection locations, the liquid will be drained and placed in approved containers. Prior to capping the ends of the pipe, an absorbent swab will be pulled through the pipe and any residual liquids collected. A sample of the liquids will be analyzed for PCBs. If analysis indicates that liquids contain PCB concentrations greater than 500 ppm, MDU will follow the requirements specified in 40 CFR 761.60 (b)(5) for disposal of the pipe. An approved alternative method of disposal, or cleaning may be considered. If the liquids contain less than 500 ppm PCBs, the pipe will be disposed in place.
For pipe which is to be removed from the ground (i.e., not abandoned in place), the following procedures will be implemented (see Figure 4-1):
Pipe sections in which no liquids are found will be available for salvage or reuse.
If liquids are found they will be drained prior to the removal of the pipe. The liquids will be placed in approved containers for disposition. A sample from each location where liquids are recovered will be analyzed for PCBs. If the liquids contain PCBs in excess of 50 ppm, they will be handled as outlined in Section 3.0.

Figure 4-1. Pipe Handling Procedure

PCB-ARCH-EXT0371915
Pipe sections from which liquids have been drained will be cut into joints approximately 40 feet in length. The open pipe ends will be temporarily capped and the pipe will be transported to the division pipe yard and stored to await analysis of the liquids.
If analysis of the liquid removed from the pipe indicates PCB concentrations at levels less than 50 ppm, the pipe will be handled and transported for salvage or reuse.
If the analysis indicates PCB concentrations in excess of 50 ppm, the following procedures will be completed before disposing of or re-using the pipe:
- Disposal will be in accordance with 40 CFR 761.60(b)(5)(i) or (ii), or pipes will be cleaned using a permitted process.
- The capping method will be determined by the project supervisor to ensure that the pipe interior is not exposed during handling, transportation, and storage.
- Each pipe end will be capped with a welded metal plate, insert, compression fitting or polyethylene plastic covering.
4.3 Equipment Cleaning Program
All equipment classified as PCB equipment and salvageable by MDU will be cleaned if feasible. Those items of equipment which have been in contact with PCB containing grease or condensate will be cleaned using effective procedures.
The cleaning process for equipment which has been in contact with condensate containing PCBs will be a triple solvent rinse, as described in 40 CFR Part 761.79, or an alternative approved technology.
4.4 Equipment Disposal Program
All equipment classified as non-salvageable and potentially containing PCBs will be properly stored prior to disposal. This equipment will be transported with a manifest to a licensed disposal facility within one year of placement in storage.

5.0 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS EVALUATION
MDU has initiated a condensate sampling program in all of its distribution systems where condensate collection facilities exist to collect the liquids and where condensate has historically been found. In addition, meters removed from service are checked for the presence of liquids which if found, are analyzed for PCBs. The location on the distribution systems from which the meter was removed is recorded.
All MDU grease guns used to lubricate plug valves have been evaluated and tested for the presence of PCBs and those guns exhibiting PCB concentrations in excess of 50 ppm have been removed from service. The location of PCB containing guns is being studied to determine the extent of past possible use by operating division and town. This data, when analysis is complete, will be used to evaluate individual distribution system contamination potential and possible migration of condensate from any exit points.
5.1 Work Plan Development
Based on evaluation of the data, MDU will prepare a Soil Sampling Plan, if warranted, to assess potential PCB exposure of the soil in the immediate area of distribution facilities where condensate has been collected and removed from the systems. The Plan will detail the soil sampling activities and provide an implementation schedule.

HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
Although PCB contamination was found in gas pipeline systems in the early 1980's, the primary source for PCBs has been oils used in compressor stations. Recently, however, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in valve grease used in some areas of the WBI and MDU systems. This grease is a potential "source1' of contamination.
The grease is not transported by natural gas, but may be partially dissolved and transported by hydrocarbon liquids sometimes found in a gas pipeline. Thus a secondary source has been identified as the contaminated condensate liquids found at various points in the systems.
Potential pathways for PCB exposure include the natural gas traveling through the pipeline, and any solid or liquid materials which can become contaminated, either inside or outside the pipeline. Potential receptors include the pipeline employees, the public, and the environment.
Risk To The Public
A public risk assessment need not be completed because a credible pathway for PCB exposure cannot be identified. For the public to be exposed through the air pathway, three conditions are required: 1) PCBs must be present; 2) they must be volatilized from condensate or grease; and 3) for contaminated gas to contaminate the actual breathing air, PCBs (if present in the gas) must survive combustion in a flame. Only small flames, such as pilots or stove burners are applicable in this case since gas furnaces provide heat through heat-exchangers and they provide no direct exposure to the combusted gas.
The first condition for the air pathway model is met because PCBs have been identified in the grease and condensate of some line segments. However, the second condition, volatilization, has not occurred. Sampling by MDU and WB! has identified no significant levels of PCBs in the gas stream.
This outcome is expected since volatilization of PCBs requires a high temperature, or a liquid solvent to carry PCB's in the gas stream. PCBs have a very low volatility, especially at pipeline temperatures (summer: 60F, winter 28F). This fact combined with the low exposure cross section of grease to the gas stream, makes volatilization extremely unlikely.
Presently, there is no evidence that contaminated distribution systems can serve as a pathway to public receptors under normal circumstances. In fact, a study by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Long Island, New York found no public exposure through the gas distribution system containing PCBs (EPA 1984).
Solvent action is the most likely transport mechanism for the limited amount of PCBs found in pipeline condensate. Liquid-phase hydrocarbons in the gas stream may dissolve PCBs and transport them to points of collection in the line. However, an objective of all natural gas systems is to remove liquid hydrocarbons from the line to provide more efficient operation.
A-1
PCB-ARCH-EXT0371919
Thus, high concentrations of liquid hydrocarbons are not generally a constituent of the gas stream. Solvent action is therefore an intermittent or uncommon event.
The third link in the air pathway is that of the combusted gas-air interface. As mentioned above, small burners and pilots are the most likely interface.
To summarize, based upon MDU and WBI testing, EPA studies, and an evaluation of potential pathways, there is no rationale for performing a risk assessment for the public. The mere presence of RGBs in condensate or grease does not indicate exposure.
Risk to Employees
Historically, workers have handled PCBs for 60 years. Risks to employees working with PCBs are well characterized and documented, with worker exposure seldom proving to be of concern. Workplace procedures and protective equipment, together with limited airborne exposure, appear to offer adequate protective barriers for employees working with PCBs.
The difficulty of reaching hazardous levels in workplace air makes the PCB air pathway exposure model highly unlikely under normal circumstances. Again, the low volatility of PCBs at normal temperatures mitigates against airborne exposure. Intense heating, agitation or pressurization would be required to vaporize or aerosolize enough of the material to reach the exposure limit. In these cases, respiratory protection is available.
The other modes of potential exposure, dermal and oral, are easily controlled through the use of proper protective clothing including impervious gloves, aprons, and boots; and through proper workplace hygiene.
Based upon the adequate historical information available regarding workplace PCB exposures, a risk assessment for pipeline employees is unnecessary.
Risk To The Environment
The only significant potential pathway to the environment is contaminated condensate liquids. These liquids have routinely been collected at various points.
Conceivable pathways to environmental receptors include water run-off and contaminated soil. To date, these events have not been shown to have occurred in this case. Unless soil or water contamination is shown to exist, there is no need to perform an environmental or ecological risk assessment.
Summary
Based upon the above evaluation, the following can be concluded:
1. A thorough evaluation of risk to the public has been performed by EPA for contaminated pipeline systems in the northeast United States. These risks were found to be very low, with the gas-pathway identified as an ineffective transport mechanism for PCBs. Risk to the public is not of concern because break-down

products from PCBs in a flame did not occur in the EPA New York study. Dibenzofurans and dioxins are not formed in the high temperatures of natural gas flames (EPA 1984).
2. The workers, are protected from well identified risks by protective work procedures, exposure limits, and equipment. With adequate historical information available, it is unnecessary to re-assess the risk to employees handling PCBs.
3.
Regarding the environment, a risk assessment is also unnecessary. No significant
releases to the environment have been identified, and no other valid pathway to
the environment has been established.
