2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
2.1 site Background and History
The S.I. du Font de Hemours & Company Washington Works facility is located in Wood County, West Virginia,
approximately seven miles southwest of Parkeraburg,
along Route 892 (see Figure l). The facility is
situated in the Ohio River Valley along the banks of
the Ohio River. The Washington Works facility started producing bulk plastic materials in 1948. The first
polymer products compounded were polyethylene, Hylen
molding powders and filaments, Lucite* acrylic molding powder, and later polyvinyl butyral, acrylic resins, fluoifopolymer, and polyacetals. The Color and
processing Division was started in 1966 as a small lot
custom color compounding operation.
In 1885, the U.S. EPft, requested Washington Works to provide information concerning sixteen units identified as potential Solid Waste Management Units (swMtKs). The review of the material contained in the June 5, 1985 subaittal document resulted in issuing a RCRA HSWA permit requiring a Verification Investigation (VI) for six of the original sixteen identified SWWs. The
location of these six are shown in Figure A-l. The data in the 1985 subaittal was sufficient to remove ten units from any further investigation.
2.2 Geologic and Hydrologic Conditions
It The surticial soils covering the site are derived from
the in-situ weathering of the underlying Permian
bedrock and ace Quaternary Ohio River Valley alluvium.
The Quaternary alluvium ia relatively eearse-grained,
unconBelidated sediment and serves as the major source
of grouildwatw in the area of the plant. These shallow
aquifers are limited in areal extent. The underlying ,
bedrock is dominantly claystones, shales, ailtstones,
and thin sandstones of th@ Permian or Pennsylvanian
formation of the Dunkard Group (see Figure 2).
is
likely that perched water tables are present in the
sandstone horizons and that they are reeharged by
precipitation and surface runoff and fluctuate
saasonally. Evidence for the occurrence of the perched
water tables include surface seepage of water at the
base of sandstones that crop out. This phenomena also
attests to the relative impermeability of the shale
intervals of the bedrock.

CF031565 EID480943
VI plan - Page 6 According to B. M. Wilmoth (1966), the rocks of the Dunkard Group are gently folded with dips ranging from about 7 feet to 145 feet per mile in this geographic area. The bedrock material dips to the east as the
plant lies on the western flank of the north-south trending Parkersburg Syncline. The subsurface strata at the plant site slopes to the east at a rate of approximately 25 feet to the mile (Johnston, 1966). The higher knob country of the Ohio River valley is characterized by branching V-shaped valleys typical of
a dissected plateau geomorpbology. The slope of the
valley walls are relatively steep, and elevations at the site range from about-630 feet along the Ohio River to 860 feet above sea level in areas of the Local Landfill. The area is well drained by ephemeral streams, including Page Run and unnamed tributaries on the western edge of the site, and an unnamed tributary that parallels and then intersects the stream of Coal Hollow. All of the above runs empty into the Ohio River (towards the north) in the area of Washington
Bottom.
Sroundwater from the bedrock aquifer (Dunkard) is very
limited due to a high percentage of shale and to its
topographic location (see Table 1). Most of the groundwater used in the area is derived from the alluvium of the Ohio River Valley. High yield, good quality ground water can be produced frott these alluvium aquifers. The topography and general geofflorpbology at the site indicates the groundwatar flow is north toward the river. Tha stratigraphy in the region suggests a southerly groundwater flow toward the Parkersbury Syncline. The flow direction needs to be
determined. This will be further discussed in section 4.0. The natural quality of the groundwater in the bedrock is usually hard (calcium/sodiua bicarbonate type), alkaline,
and of moderate iron content (wilmoth, 3.966) . Iron is also present in concentrations great enough to cause staining and/or discoloration of the water.

3.0 BACKGROUND AND WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
3.1 A-l Du Pont Local Landfill
3.1.1
Current and Historical Background Conditions
The plants principal landfill area has
historically been in the natural ravines located on the south side of Du Pont Road (see Figure
1A). The landfill covers approximately 251
acres and was opened in 1964. It is currently
operating under State Permit #3494, The
remaining life of this unit is estimated to be seven years. The landfill operation has typically bean filling tha ravines with waste materials and
covering it with local soil to form terraces.
The size of the "cells" as they were developed and the depth of each layer is unknown, Table 2 summari zee present average landftiled quantities
and lists materials that were disposed of in the past. All waste were generated at Washington Works or at contract facilities. Access to this unit is by an asphalt road restricted by a chain link fence at the east
entrance and a locked bar gate at the west entrance. The east gate is operated remotely via intercom communication to plant security.
The landfill is surrounded in portions by chain link fence, barbed wire fence, wooden fence and
heavy vegetation over-growth.
Leachate is collected from one point
eastern side ot the landfill monthly
analyzed for pH, chloride, fluorlde, COD (see Table 3). This information used as baseline data to compare any
sampling.

roundwater quality data collected on 8/6/87 trsm the three wells indicate there is no water quality problem in any of these wells. This is based on U.S. EPA Drinking Water Quality
standards.
Test Well 27 haa 5 feet of screen in the 566.7 to 538.07 foot sandy grave-l zone and is located approximately 600 feet from the closest portion o tha north western boundary of the Local I-andtill. The well ia approximately 98 feet deep. The well has a specific conductance of 560 aicroBhos, total iron 2.78 ag/1, sulfate 81 ag/1, chloride 40 mg/1, and 0.01 ng/1 total organic carbon (TOC) (see Table 4).
CF031568 EID480946
VI Plan - page 9 Test Well 2S has 5 feet of screen in the 565 to
537.81 foot sandy gravel zone and is located approximately 100 feet from the northern boundary of the landfill. The well is approximately 100 feet deep. The analytical data indicates a specific conductance oC 780 mieromhos, TOC 0.4 ng/l, total icon 2.05 ng/1, sultate 32 mg/l, and chloride 61 sag/I (see Table S). Well 331 has 15 feet of screen in the 5C5 to 538.7 foot sandy gravel zone and is located approximately 750 feet from the northern most portion of the Local Landfill. The well is approximately 95 feet deep. The analytical data indicatea specific conductance of 460 mieroinhos, TOC 2 mg/1, total iron 0.19 ng/1, sulfate 89 mg/l, and chloride 22 mg/1 (see Table 6). The well is locates 100 feet tvom the Ohio River and is known to be influenced by the river. The water quality data from this well is considered background or upgradient data because of the constant influx of river water. Appendix IX analyses were performed twice in late 1988/early 1989 (see Appendix F) in these same three wells. The wells were retested to determine
it the contaminants found present in the first set
of analysis represented lab contamination or actual groundwater contamination. The net result of the two analyses showed Test Well 25 contained levels of iron 3.9 mg/1, zinc .13 ing/I and 1.8 ug/1 nitrate as M and Test Well 27 contained 3.59 ug/1 chloroform, *23 mg/l aluminum, 2.4 ng/l iron, and
1.2 ug/1 nitrate as W. Well 331 contained iron levels, .60 mg/1. Iron content is naturally elevated in this area. These results indicate there is no water quality problem based on
Drinking Water Quality gtandards. The other
contaminants present during the first set of
analyses were considered to be lab contaminants.. Table 7 is a sumaary of the laboratory test run on the shelby tubes collected during the September 1989 installation of the eight, new monitoring wells. The soils are described as reddish brown, sandy clay with soft shale fragments. The pH range o( the soils is in the neutral range, 6.0 to 7*4. The soil permeability ranges from 1.41 X 10-6 to 4.88 x 10-8 cm/sec at depths of 2.5 to 4.5 feet and 1.67 af 10-8 to 9.57 x 10-6 oM/see in soils from
7.5 to 9,5 ft. deep.

Water quality data will be taken in February
1990 to comply with the Landfill Liner Equivalency Demonstration request for an April
1990 deadline* This data set will be used as
baseline water quality data for any future monitoring at the Local Landfill *
3.1.2
Waste Characterization The wastes currently and previously disposed of in
the landfill are listed in Table 2. They are inert acrylio slurry, inert mixed plastics, fly ash and
bottom ash from power generation and plant trash.
The powerhouse ash comprised approximately 70
percent of the total waste. No liquids were disposed of in the landfill.
Detection of chloride from leaohate samples prompted the discontinuation of disposal of chloride sludge in 1982. The leachates analyses up to December 1989 have not indicated any other potential contamination (see Table 3).
t e s t e dSmall quantities of RCRA hazardous ash were landtilled prior to 1980 when the ash residues hazardous per the E,p. Toxicity test. Ash from the incineration of plastics contained barium, cadmium, selenium, and chromium. The fly ash and bottom ash is now sent to another disposal unit outside the facility boundaries. Some ash material is still landfilled and could contain some aluminum or steel components, but it is not classified as hazardous per the E.P. Toxieity test.
3.2 A-3 River Bank Landfill
3.2.1
Current and Historical Background conditions
fill The River Bank Landfill is located on the
northern edge of the site adjacent to the Ohio
River (see Figure 1A). A portion of the old
river bank, approximately 125 feet from the river was used for a landfill. The unit is
presently inactive? however, it was the only
landfill in use at the facility from 1948 to 1964. The landfill was closed by covering the
material with 6 to 36-inches of soil and then vegetated. This landfill extends approximately 2,400 feet parallel to the river bank and is up to 50 feet wide in some places.
CF031576 EID480954
VI Plan - Pago 17 Wa are currently using Well 331 as the background
well for this unit. On 8/6/87, an Appendix IX analysis was performed. The results were 460 nicromhos specif ie conductivity, 89 mg/1 sultate, and 2 ng/l TOC. A 10/6/88 Appendix IX analysis reported .60 ing/I of iron, but Iron is naturally elevated in the groundwater in this region (Wilmoth, 1966). This data will be used as baseline background data for two units during the implementation of the VI werkplan. As indicated in section 2.2, the groundwater flow direction ia unknown at this time. The upgradient and downgradient wells for this unit
will be verified attar the flow gradient is con
tinued by the program descriped in section 4.1. 3.2.2 Waste characteristics
r e s u l t e d Powerhouse ash, plastics, rubble, and plant trash were disposed of in the landfill. The landfill waste were dry, sine plant policy has always been to burn all liquid waste. At one tine, approximately 200 waste drums at solid material were buried in the landfill. One of the materials landfilled was RCRA hazardous ash, which from the incineration of plastics containing barium, cadmium, selenium, and chromium pigments. 3.3 B-4 Anaerobic Digestion Ponds 3,3.1 current and Historical Background Conditions Three anaerobic digestion ponds were located next to the Ohio River, on the northern edge o the facility in the 100-year flood plain (see Figure 1A). The three surface impoundments were located in a row, and wastes? were cascaded from the third(west) to the second and first(east) ponds. The three ponds were approximately e feet deep with sloped, earthen banks about 22 feet wide at the base. The eoabined volume capacity of the three ponds was about 3 million gallons.
CF031S77 EID480955
VI plan - Page 18
This unit was initially constructed as a single
pond in the mid-1950's. In the mid-1970's, this
pond was enlarged and two more ponds were added.
Alt three ponds ceased receiving wastes in 1985
and were officially closed in 1988. All waste is now transferred off-site.
The dimensions of pond 1 (eastern most pond) was
52 feet by
deep. The
237 feet capacity
and was
aepstpimroaxtiemdatteolybe6.0553ft,0. 00
gals, and the volume was 12,324 ft3. When this
pond was reconstructed in the aid 1970's
(1973-74), a natural clay layer was used in the
walls and polyethylene sheets were placed on the
walls. Then e to 12-inehes of bentonite was
placed over the entire pond cell.
The dimensions of pond 2 (middle pond) was 53
ft. by 180 ft. and approximately 5.9 feet deep.
The capacity was estimated to be 428,000 gals.
and the volume 9,540 ft3. Pond 3^8 (western
most pond) dimensions were 76 ft. by 134 ft. and
approximately 5.9 faet deep. The capacity o( the pond was estimated to be 457,000 gals. and the volume 10,184 ft3.
Releases have occurred in the past* Flooding occasionally inundated the impoundments prior to construction of the Belleville Dam in 1964. Ho flooding has occurred since the construction of the dam. The impoundments were re-lined with a 6 to 12-inch layer of bentonite to reduce the
potential of infiltration to the groundwater in
1973-74. The Lubeck public supply wells have detectable levels (ppb) of ammonium perfluerooetanoate (also called C-8). Washington Works ig in the process of purchasing these welIs from Lubeck water supply*
Pond 1 was closed in January 1988. A 22.5 foot, 22e off vertical core sample was taken 23 feet north (past the bem) of the center of this unit to characterize the subsurface lltholegy and to detemina the level of contamination. Figure 3 summarized the results. Approximately 5@,700 cubic feet of soil was excavated from this pond including the 5-foot high berm.
CF031578 EID480956
VI Plan - Page 19
Pond 2 was closed in February 1988. A 22.5
foot, 22a oft vertical core sample was taken 19 feet north (past the berm) of the center of this unit to characterize the subsurface litbology and to determine the level of contamination. Figure 4 summarizes the results. Approximately 43,900 cubic feet of soil was excavated from this pond including the 6-foot high benn.
Pond 3 was closed in November-December 1988. A
22.5 foot, 22o off vertical core sample was taken 16 feet north (past barm) of the center of this unit t& characterize the subsurface litbology and to determine the level of contamination horizontally from the unit* Figure S summarizes the results. Approximately 46,900 cubic feet of soil was excavated from this pond including the 9-foot high bern.
Figures 3 through 5 suBroarize the initial
results taken from these ponda.
A total of approximately 14,012,500 Ibs. of soil was excavated from the three ponds site. This material was landfilled off site.
chemical analyses were taken at six intervals of approximately 2.7-2.8 feet starting 1.4 feet below grade. Analysis was run fars Triton? c-8; polytetraflWM-oethylene (PTFE); total zinc? E.P. toxieity methods for zinc, fluoride, and chloride; percent organics? and percent mineral. The results from each of these ponds is shown in
Figures 3 through 5.
It After each pond was emptied, a 4-foot core was
taken in the center. Chemical analyses were

Waste characterization This unit treated wast from a fluorocarbon manufacturing process. The waste was principally detergent with trace quantities of a number of constituents summarized in Table 10 (proceeding page). Liquid from the pond was
trucked off-site when the units ceased operating
in 1988.
3.4 F-ll Injection Wells Mo. 1 and No. 2
3.4.1 Current and Historical Background Conditions Two deep wells were installed tor injection of plant wastes generated by the operating divisions (sea Figure l-A). Construction of Injection Well No. 1 (l-WW) began in September 19C6 and construction of injection well <2 (2-WW) in August of 1970. Details of injection well design, geological strata, and acid storage (feed) tanks are contained in the two reports included in
Appendix F.
Washington works MO. 1 disposal well (l-ww) started operating in 1969 and was plugged on 2/24/76. The geologic injection unit is tha Big Injun, a quartz sandstone of Missiasippian age and corresponds to the Greenbrier unit. Well Me. 2 started operating in March 1972 and was plugged on 11/14/80. The waste in Well No. 2 was injected into Middle Devonian age shales, over
the ll-year period of operation, a total of 112.5 million gallons of aeid wastes was
injected into these two wells.
It Washington Works Ho. 1 (1-WW) disposal well was
drilled to a depth of 1,677 feet and bridge
plugged back to 1,485 feet. A geologic core was
collected fro the intervals 1,419 ft. to 1,435

injection casing was perforated trcro 1,323 ft. to 1,439 ft. Brine was sampled from the
injection zone. chlorides measured 3.93% and the pH was 6.83. Total dissolved solids were
7.6%. Waste Well Mo. 1 was re-worked during the period June 20, 1970 through July 2, 1970 (see Appendix
P for details). The re-working consisted of the
following;
1. Placing a sand plug in the well from a total depth back to 1,318 feet.
2. Installation o( 31 joints of 5-1/2" liner
with a special 10 toot machined Hastelloy sleeve to a depth of I,314 feet.
3. Cementing the 5-1/2" liner in place with an acid resistant cement.
4. Drilling out cement left inside the easing
and flushing out the sand plug. 5. purging twice with nitrogen and fresh water. 6. A short tens injection test using fresh
water.
The results of this work indicated the cementing of the 5-1/2" liner was successful with acid resistant cement placed around the entire length of liner. Both nitrogen purges produced large quantities of dirty water with some solids. A short tera injection teat indicated that the
well had been rejuvenated to near its original capacity (150 gpa at 500 psi).
Washington Works No. 2 (Well 593) disposal well
was drilled to 4,056 feet and bridge plugged back to 3,650 feet (see Figure 8). The injection casing, 3,808 feet steel with 239 feet reinforced Fibercast and 12 feet of Hastelloy-C as a bottom bole injection zone extension, was cemented with 1,166 gallons Haliburton LR-ll acid resistant cement to 3,608 feet and 1,000 sacks of poznix cement with 14 percent salt. Shot holes at 2,919-foot depth were squeezed with 450 sacks of eontton cement with no returns. Shot holes at 2,134-foot depth were squeezed with 500 sacks of common cement to ground surface. Ho cores were taken during drilling but lithologie information was obtained froa geophysical logs (see Figure 9). Mine veils are used for groundwalei? monitoring for the two injection wells; an abandoned gas well (WOO-577 red), Test Well 20 (replaced Test Well 23), Well 331 (replaced Well 307), and six

Blennerhasset Island veils (see Figure 1A for the location of the plant wells and Figure 1 for the location of the island). The vertical and horizontal distances from the injection wells is
summarized in Table 11. Test Well 23 was
monitored from 5/73 to 1/74 when it want dry.
Well 307 was Monitored tron 5/31/73 until
7/20/78 when the well was taken out o service. WOO-577 red has bean monitored continuously from 5/31/73 to the present. Analyses of the groundwater has been conducted
for pH, chlorides, and total organic carbon. Tables 12 through 16 summarize the analytical
results for all the monitoring wells. Sas well
(WOO-577 red) was drilled to 2.200 feet and plugged back to 740 feet. The natural chloride level in WOO-577 red is approximately 35,000 ppin. This is a flowing well. Test well 20 was monitored twice in 1974 and then continuously
fro 10/20/77 to the present. The background chloride concentration is 36 ppn. The Blennerhasset Island Wells were monitored continuously from 7/73 to the present. The background chloride concentration for these wells is 27 ppm Information and details on closure of thee wells are contained in Appendix V. This is the
Affidavit of Plugging and Filling the wells l-WW and 2-MW. Note these wells are listed as 2 and 3 respectively in the West Virginia Oil and Gas
Division records, but these are the only two
injection walls at the facility, in order to effectively evaluate the capability of the existing monitoring wells ability to
detect a release tron the two injection wells, the local and regional geology and the structural features need to be described. This is done in detail in Appendix A. Appendix A is broken down into two sections.
The first section discusses in detail tha local
and regional geology, the stratigraphy, the unit thickness, and the confining and injection zone parameters. The second section discusses the structural features, earthquake activity, and seismic events in th area surrounding
Parkersburg.

3.4.2 Waste Characterization
The principal waste disposed of in the wells was an aqueous waste stream containing 6 to 15 percent hydrochloric acid combined with 2 to 5 percent solution of formic aeid and formaldehyde from the polyacetal division, and vent scrubber effluent containing organics fron the nylon manufacturing operation, fluoroearbon chemicals, and hydrogen fluoride (<IO,OQO ppm). The temperature of the waste material at the point of injection was approximately l05oC.
3.5 H-14 Burning Grounds-Liquid/Solid
3.5.1
current and Historical Background conditions Use of the Burning Grounds began close to the start-up date of the plant in 1948. Prior to 1965, open burning of plant trash and organic liquids was conducted in this area (see Figure 1A). An additional area was used for burning liquid waste. Drums of liquid were placed at the top of the river bank, with a gravity feed to a burner below. About 40 drums per month were burned in this manner.
In 1974, two buildings, B-256 process Building (114' x 54') and B-253 Warehouse (280^ x 140') were constructed. Approximately 2800 cubic feet of soil was excavated from thie area. When this
work was performed, it was noted that the dirt
had no smell or unusual color. No waste was visible.
Six test soil borings were taken in July 1989 by Mid-Eaatem SaoTeeh Inc. Marietta, OH. The test boring log reports indicate the soil along the eastern aide of the building is a. moist, loose,
yellowish brown sandy silt-silty sand to a depth
of 50 feet. No discoloration or odor was noted in the boring logs. This indicates there is no potential for residual release fron the soil. A moisture density relationship feet of the soils was performed. The results showed a maximum dry
density of 115.6 Ibs/ft. and an optimum moisture
content of 10.6%.
In 1989, construction began on an addition to B-256 and loading docks for B-253 were constructed. Approximately 1800 tt3 of soil was removed. No gross eontaiaination has been reported during this construction project*
CF03160S BID480983

3.5.2 Waste Characterization
The liquid wastes that were burned at this area include acrylic monomer slurries, Butacite^ ink slurries, and high boiling liquid fluorocarbon compounds; as well as solvents in use at the plant. The solids included paper, trash, and plastics.
3,6 C-6 Polyacetal Product Incinerator
3.6.1 current and Historical Background
The polyaceteal product incinerator has been in operation since the plant started up in 1959. off-specification polyacetal product polymer and certain other non-hazardous solid wastes (sea section 3.S.2) are burned in the unit. The polyacateal product incinerator consists of two (2) screencovered brick-lined burning pits. The two pits are
collectively referred to as one (1) unit. Each pit ia constructed of reinforced concrete lined with fire brick.
Screens, on roller, are placed over the pits during incineration.
Bach pit
by 10 ft
is
by
a box
10 ft
with approximate inside dimensions of 9 ft deep. Approximately 6 ft of the depth is
below grade. Unlike the front wall, the side and back walls
extend approximately 4 ft above grade.
The product incinerator is located east of the bio-oxidation wastewater treatment plant, and the unit's location is shown in Figure 10.
AS the pits have the same construction, same waste feeds, and same operating procedures, air emissions sampling and analysis for one pit is representative of the emissions from both pits. Sampling an operating pit is discussed in section 4.S.2 and in Appendix c,2.
3.6.2 Waste Characterization
In order to characterize the combustion products released during the burning of polyacetal products in unit C-6, the wastes fed to the unit were thoroughly reviewed. As the
focus of the sampling and analysis effort will be to characterize the air emissions released from the incinerator
process to identify hazardous constituents, the waste characterization review focused on hazardous constituents present in the wastes fed to the unit.

MAP INDICATING LOCATION OF
POLYACETAL PRODUCT INCINERATOR
VI Plan - Page 41
The Delrin area Maintains strict administrative control over
the polyacetal product incinerator to ensure that no wastes other than specific non-hazardous wastes from the Delrin area are fed to the unit. Currently, wastes from other parts of tha site are not fed to tha incinerator. Historically, only grades of Delrin-"1 have been burned here. Two basic types of product-related solid non-hazardous wastes are burned in the polyacetal product incinerator; Delrin Chemical Area wastes and Delrin Finishing Area wastes. The main waste feed to the unit is off-specification polyacetal product polymer from the
Chemical Area.
Chemical Area Wastes
Chemical area wastes fed to the product incinerator include raw polyacetal polymer and capped polyacetal polymer (also
known as Delrin fluff). Both of these materials contain
formaldehyde and may contain trace quantities of toluena. These Materials are fed to the unit in cardboard boxes lined with polyethylene plastic or similar fiber containers. Chemical area tank and snap cleanings also contain formaldehyde-based polymeric solids, and these are also burned in the product incinerator following such cleanings. Eropty boxes and.wooden pallets may also be burned in the unit,
The only Appendix VIII hazardous constituents Known or
suspected to be present in the chemical area wastes fed to the product incinerator are Formaldehyde and Toluene. Finishing Area Wastes Finishing area wastes fed to the unit are limited to proprietary mixtures of powder and solid concentrates. Excess and nen-atandard batches of these concentrate mixtures nay be burned in the product incinerator. These concentrates include stabilizer concentrate which may contain nitrogencontaining compounds such as Mylon and earbon black color additive. "Chose concentrates may include polyacetal polymer (which contains formaldehyde) which has been added to improve
processing.
Review of the compounds used in finishing area concentrates
indicates that tha following Appendix VIII hazardous
constituents may b present in the finishing area wastes fed to the product incinerator; Formaldehyde, -Cr@sol and potentially trace quantities of Bthylene oxide.
Hazardous Constituents As a part of the review of chemical area and finishing waste feeds to the product incinerator, the waste feed
materials compounds were reviewed to determine it they
contained one or nore of the sixteen (16) volatile and volatile compounds listed in Attachment 1 of the RCHA
area semi-

of Delrin, and several of these compounds do not appear to be
used anywhere on the site. Of the compounds on Attachment l
of the RCKA Correetive Action permit, only m-Cresol and
Toluene are suspected to be present in tha feeds to the product
incinerator.
The hazardous constituents that are Icnown or suspected to be
present in the waste Materials fed to the product incinerator
are Formaldehyde, Toluene, a-Cresol, and possibly Ethylene
oxide.
3.6.3 Combustion Product Characterization One of the objectives of the Verification Investigation is to characterize the the combustion products released during the burning of polyaeetal products in unit C-6. This characterization of the combustion products is necessary to ensure that any hazardous constituents ]cnown or suspected to
have been released to the air fron the unit will be sampled
and analyzed.
it As with any burning process, the principal combustion
products from the product incinerator should be carbon
dioxide and water. Since some waste feeds may contain
nitrogen,

The preceding waste characterization identified hazardous constituents that may be present in the feeds to the product incinerator. Trace quantities of these hazardous constituents in the feed (Formaldehyde, Toluene, ffl-Cresol, agnadseps ofsrosmiblytheSuthnyilte.ne oxide) may also be present in the off-
it Additionally, is possible that this combustion process
generates trace levels of some products of incomplete
combustion (PICs). For the types of material in the waste
feeds, methyl
aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde) and ketonea ethyl ketone) are potential decomposition
(e.g.,
products and PICs. And, for aroaatic compounds such as
toluene and cresol, benzene is a potential pic. Phenol is
another potential Pic from the combustion of ereaol.
The volatile and seai-volatila compounds listed in Attachment
1 of the RCBA Corrective Action Permit as analytical requirements for Onit C-6 were reviewed to determine which of
those compounds would be likely Pica fro the burning of the
CB-031609 EID480987
VI Plan - Page 43
wastes fed to the product incinerator. As noted above, benzene, methyl ethyl ketone, and phenol have been Identified as potential PICs. The other compounds en the Attachment 1
list do not appear to be potential PICs from the burning of
the wastes to the product incinerator*
The four compounds potentially in the teed (Formaldehyde, Toluene, Ethylene exide, and m-cresol) as well as the three compounds identified as potential PICs (benzene, methyl ethyl
ketone, and phenol) were next reviewed against ERA'S
Principal Hazardous Organic Constituent Thermal Stability Index (Appendix D of "Guidance on Setting Permit conditions and Reporting Trial Bum Results," January 1S89) to determine the likelihood of their presence or absence in the air emissions from the unite. Although the unit does not closely resemble a hazardous waste incinerator for which one night typically use the index, the conditions in the unit probably resemble the post-flaae-zone-like low oxygen conditions that
were used to establish the index.
This "incinerability11 index ranks compounds in descending
order of difficulty of destruction. Benzene is ranked number
3 on the index and is a Clasa l compound. Class l compounds
are considered to be more difficult to destroy by burning
than Class 2 compounds; Class 2 eoaipounds are considered to
be aore difficult to destroy than class 3 compounds? and so
on. Toluene (ranked 35) and Formaldehyde (ranked 4@-so) are both Class 2 compounds. Phenol (ranked 100-101), n-cresol (ranked 104-15), and methyl ethyl ketone (ranked 108-109) are
Class 3 compounds Ethylene oxide is considered to be much easier to destroy by burning than the other compounds and is a
Class 4 compound, ranked as number 174 on the index.
it Given that is considered to be much easier to destroy by
burning than the other compounds and that it is thought to be present in the teed to the unit at lower (it any) levels, it
does not appear that ethylene oxide would be present in the air emissions from the unit*
Based on this combustion product characterization, air
emission testing for hazardous constituents that may be released from the polyacetal product incinerator should include the sampling and analysis f@r the following hazardous constituents!
Formaldehyde
Toluene n-Cresol
Methyl ethyl ketone
Benzene Phenol

towards the river. We are proposing that one complete
round of water level measurements be taken in all
available monitoring wells to establish a better understanding of the groundwater flow pattern on the site. 4.2 A-l Du Font Road Landfill 4.2.1 Soil Sampling Program
A soil sampling and analysis program will
attempt to dateraine if subsurface contamination escistes. Figure II shows the preliminary proposed
areal coverage and location of the seven soil
borings.
Sample locations were chosen near areas where it
is known that material was landfilled. In the case of surface refusal, a second attempt will be made five feet from the aborted sampling point. These sampling locations are tentative. Because of the limited hydrogeological information available for this site, we have just recently completed the installation of eight monitoring wells. Once groundwater level measurements have
been established and we have a more thourough
understanding of the groundwater flow, we will
reevaluate our proposed locations and contact the
EPA and the WvDMR if changes in the location or
number of samples is necessary, and will be finalized in the field prior to drilling. Three soil samples from each boring will be
retained at various depths for laboratory analysis. The depths will be determined once more information about the hydrogeology is obtained.
if Each sample will be field checked for
contamination by placing a portion of the soil in a polyethylene bag, shaking the bag, and inserting the probe end of an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA) into the bag and measuring the organic vapor content. The OVA will detect any organic contamination is present in the soil.
it is proposed that the soil samples be analyzed
for E.P. Toxic metals, formaldehyde, and formic aeid. These compounds were chosen after of review
of the landfilled materials. The OVA will act as

if an organic contamination screen,
the OVA
indicates the presence of organics^ further
analysis will be performed. They make excellent
indicator parameters without requiring a large
sample. The volume of soil collected by a cone
penetrometor in a 6 to 8-inch long sample will not
provide a sufficient amount of sample to preform
the analyses requested by the EPA (Table 17).

Groundwater Investigation
Groundwater sampling and analysis will determine
if contamination of the groundwater exists.
Fifteen groundwater samples are proposed.
Eight will be collected from existing monitoring .wells and 7 will be troa th cone penetrometer soil sample locations. Figure 11 Illustrates
the proposed locations of the groundwater sampling locations. Figure 1-A shows tha well locations.

constituents listed in Table 17.
4.3 A-3 River Bank Landfill
4.3.1
Soil sampling Prograa The soil around the River Bank Landfill will be evaluated. Nine soil sampling locations are
identified in Figure 12. Soil samples will be
collected using a cone penetrometer and analysed
for the same constituents as the DuPont Road landfill. Four samples will be taken approximately 400 feet to the north and south of the landfill at approximately 600-foot intervals and one other sample will be taken which is the
control sample near Test Well 40.

As in the DuPont Road landfill, each sample will be field cheeked tor contamination by placing a
portion of the soil in a polyethylene bag, shaking the bag, and inserting the probe end of an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA) into the bag and measuring
the organic vapor content.
4.3.2 Gceundwater investigation
Groundwater samples will be taken and analyzed for the parameters listed in Table 17 plus
butyraldehyde, adipic aoid, ammonium perfluorooctanoate, hexamethyl diamine and chlorides. Four
samples will be taken approximately 400 feet to the north and south of the landfill at approximately 600-foot intervals and one other sample will be taken which is the control sample
from Test Well 40. These are the same locations as the sampling points tor the soil investigation.
Wells or sampling points were not proposed in the
landfill to characterize the buried waste because any hole eould potentially create open vertical
conduits through which hazardous material could flow.
The groundwater sampling interval in the monitoring wells is above the toedreck and weathered surface material interface. The bedrock interface is approximately 90 to 100
feat below grade along the river bank and approximately 21 to 38 feet below grade in the ravines of the Local Landfill, approximately 2000 feet due south of the river.
4.4.3
Leachate Analysis
Two existing leachate streams will be sampled, one on the far west end of the landfill and one on the far east end. These samples will be analyzed for all the constituents in Table 17 plus the six additional chemicals listed for the River Bank landfill groundwater.

proposed to take two cone penetrometer cores from
the eenter of the middle pond (#2) and the
western pond (#3) (see Figure 13). All three
ponds were closed in the saae fashion but native
clay samples were not taken from ponds 2 and 3

after excavation of the material. The samples
will be collected at l-foot intervals starting at
the base of the fill material for a total of
3-feet. This three foot depth was chosen to
determine if all gross contamination wag
excavated during closure.
The analysis will be performed starting in the
native clay layer, approximately 10 feet below grade, and extend at one foot intervals for three feet. Each sample will be field checked for contamination by placing a portion of the soil in
a polyethylene bag, shaking the bag, and inserting the probe end off an Organic vapor Analyzer (OVA) into the bag and measuring the organic vapor content.
This interval was chosen because when the ponds
were initially closed, samples were taleen at one
foot intervals and it was determined that the
first two feet of clay contained low levels of
Triton, C-8, and PTFE. The remaining two feet of clay contained very lew concentrations of the two
surfactants. It appears the native clay unit
acts aa a natural liner preventing downward contaminant migration. The purpose of this sampling Is to verity this.
The sampling profile from the collection tube ia
6 to 8-lnches in length and 10 ca is diameter.
This will only provide enough sample for analysis
of Triton c-8, fluorocarbon resins (PTFE), total
zinc, soluble zinc, chloride, and fluoride. Not
enough sample ean be collected to analyze for the
requested list (see Table 17), The purpose here
if is to determine the gross contamination waa
it removed when the ponds were closed and
is
known these were the only waste materials placed

4.5 H-14 Burning Grounds
4.5.1 Groundwater Investigation
if The proposed groundwater sampling locations are;
Test Well 22. Test Well E-6, Test Well S, and seven cone penetrometer boring locations around the perimeter of the two buildings located in the area t the old burning grounds (see Figure
14 and Figure 1-A). The purpose here is to determine there is any residual contamination to the grsundwater.
These ten groundwater samples will be analyzed tor the parameters list in Table 17.
4.6 Polyacetal Product Incinerator
T h e objective of this sampling and analysis effort is to determine th coneentratlons of hazardous constituents potentially preaent in the air emissions (based on the combustion products characterization) from the product incinerator.
4.S.I Emission sampling
In order to meet the objectives of the
verification Investigation for unit C-6, it was
necessary to develop a saapling rationale that accounted fer;
o the specific sampling points for the unit with respect to the potentially affected
environmental media, and
o the population of passible sampling locations and how these were narrowed down to specific sampling points.
The media of concern tor potential release of hazardous constituents froa the product incinerator ia the air. The focus of this sampling and analysis effort is to identify hazardous constituents potentially present in the air emissions from the unit.

The polyacetal Product Incinerator consists of two (2) screen-covered brick-lined burning pits. The two pits are collectively referred to as one (1) unit. As the pits have the same construction, same type of screen covers, same
waste feeds, and same operating procedures, air emissions sampling and analysis for one pit is representative of the emissions from both pits. Hence, sampling and analysis will be conducted during the operation of a single pit. During operation of a pit, the air emissions rise and are primarily released vertically
upward through the opening at the top of the
pit. Hence, it is necessary to sample the
emissions off the top of the pit. And, in order
to obtain a representative sample a fixed "rake"
sample collection apparatus will be placed above the pit to catch a composite air emission sample which will be collected' using appropriate techniques. Following the initial light off period for the operation of a pit, air emissions will be sampled for three 1-hour periods while tha pit is in operation.
The "rake" sampling apparatus and sample
collection techniques that will be employed are
described in the Sample Collection and procedures plan for this unit in Appendix C,2. Other options for sampling location and sampling
points included taking ambient air samples downwind of the operating pit or traversing the top of the pit. Neither option appears to be
able to produce a more representative sample of
the actual air emissions being released from the top of the pit. Hence, taking a "rake" compoaite air sample from the top of a single operating pit was ehosen as the sampling
location and method.

Emission Analysis
In order to ensure that the compounds in Attachment 1 of the RCRA Corrective Action Permit and any other hazardous constituents known or suspected to have been released from the unit would be analyzed, the potential hazardous constituent air emissions from the unit where compiled in section 3.6.3 (Combustion

itProduct characterization). In that section, it
was found that six (6) hazardous constituents
nay be present in -the air emissions from the
polyacetal product incinerator. Specifically,
was found that one (I) hazardous constituent
not on the Attachment 1 list may be present in the air emissions from the unit and that 11 of
the 16 hazardous constituents on the Attachment
1 list do not appear to be potentially present in the air emissions from the unit.
Therefore, it is proposed that sampling and
analysis of the air emissions from the
polyacetal product incinerator be limited to the following six (6) hazardous constituents in accordance with the analytical protocols in the Sample Collection Methods and Procedures Plan for this in Appendix C,2:
Formaldehyde Toluene m-Cresol
Methyl ethyl ketone
Benzene Phenol
