Dear Administrator McCarthy,
I am wrilmg t h t ~ letter in regards to the West Lake Landli lllocated in my district. West Lake con Hins
radioactive waslt:, and is currently under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) .
In tv1ay 200X, after conducting eiWironmcntal testing. the EPA issued its Record of Decision that stated
the F o n n ~ : r l y Utilizt:d Sites Remedial Action (l'USRAP) program was not the appropriate federal prugram
' 1r retnclhating vVt:,t Lake wastt: materilll. FUSRAP is under the jurisdiction orthe Depa11mcnt or
Energy (DOl:) and the Army Corps of Engineers. The remediation plan adopted by EPA in its Record orDceision requires the agency to monitor the West Lake site to ensure that i t ~ remediatiou efforts arc
e f'l(x:tivc and that no atr or groundwater contamination occurs .
Since May 2008, my constituents arc and have. been very conct:rned with EPA's remediation etTorts at t h ~ :\Vcst l.ak\ site. Their concerns stem from many t:1ctors: I) There is a lack of any type of lining bct\v..:cn
the nHlinactive waste and the soil whil:h the waste sits on; 2) The waste is covered with a few inches ortop snill111ing that routinely blows away with wind; 3) The close proximity of the radioactive waste to
another lantliill called the Bridgeton Land till, which has a subsurface tire that is not under control as of
tnday·s dat..:: 4) The cl(lsc proximity of \Vest Lake to area schools, homes, and local businesses; <ind 5

Communities around the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site in west St. Louis and
St. Charles County need your help leadership and teamwork at this critical
juncture. Oyer 600 people of people from the area att.ended the EPA meeting at
Pattonville High School on June 25 2013 and two things are clear the community
demands:
1. The rmy Corps of Engineers be put in charge on the West lake landfill
Superfund Site.
2. The removal of nuclear weapons wastes from the smoldering unlined
landfill which sits in an urban area seismic zone and tornado prone
floodplain of the Missouri River.
We urge you to work together to put West Lake Landfill on the fast track to

RE: West Lake/Bridgeton Landfill Superfund Site
Dear Mr. Brooks:
A subsurface landfill fire is burning in the proximity of nuclear weapons wastes in Bridgeton, Missouri.
The odor from the landfil l fire has Impacted tens of thousands of people and concern about it contacting
the nuclear weapons wastes Is growing. The EPA announced In January the landfi ll fire was 1,200 feet
from the nuclear weapons wastes. In May, the Missour i Attorney General announced the landfill fire is
1,000 feet away from the nuclear weapons wastes. EPA employees have stated several times this year
that it is not possible for the landfill fire to reach the nuclear weapons wastes.
The Missouri Coalition for the Environment and the undersigned members of the adjacent communities
would love to be as confident as your staff that the fire will not reach the nuclear weapons wastes.

Dear Mr . Brooks:
The M1ssouri Coalition for the Environment (MCE) requests a meeting to go over questions submitted to
the EPA dated May 23 , 2013 and the questions below regarding the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site in St.
Louis County, Missouri. MCE would like to meet with EPA staff before the June 25, 2013 public meeting
scheduled at Pattonvi lle High School so we can h;we an in-depth conversation regarding MCE and
community concerns at West Lake Landfill. Will EPA meet with MCE before the June 25 meeting"? If ameeting cannot be schedulecl for June 25, will EPA please provide a written response to unanswered
questions from the May 23letter and questions listed below?

being 6.33PiC/I. A map in the Groundwater Monitoring report dated December 14•h, 2012 (page 84)
displays 20 wells that show rai:lium levels above 5pCi/l with PZ-101-SS reading 32.01pCi/l, which is
outside of Area-l and Area-2 of Operable Unit 1. With the increase in the concentration of Radium
from the wells, how can the EPA continue to state that the levels of Radium being read are naturallyoccurring?
a. Does naturally occurring Radium inc rease its radioactivi ty over time?
b. Can the EPA explain the increase in the level of radium in the wells above 5 PiC/1?
4. Given that the radioactive wastes were dumped at West Lake 40 years ago and Dr. Criss's
conclusion that the "radiologically-contaminated groundwaters have moved substantial lateral
distances away from the original areas where the radwaste was dumped, and also have entered
subjacent Mississippian bedrock." is it more likely that the levels of Radium-226 and Radium-228
are elevated because they are from the radioactive wastes that were dumped and therefore arc notnaturally occurring as the EPA currently concludes?
5. Besides the ASPECT plane and groundwater testing, is the EPA doing anything else (i.e. soil
samples) to improve its understanding of the West Lake Landfill and the radioactive ma terials that
are present?
6. Is the EPA conducting groundwater samples outside the West Lake Landfill? If no, why not? If no,
how can the EPA claim the radioactive wastes have not moved off site? If yes, can the EPA provide
the data?
7. How can the EPA conclude that the radioactive material s are contained based on the ASPECT plane,
which only measured gamma radiation up to one foot, while the radioactive wastes are buried up to
15 feet deep and there is no liner to prevent groundwatercontamination?
8. Is there a "red line" to trigger the removal of the radioactive wastes in context to the smoldering

RE: West Lake Landfill Superfund Site
Dear Mr. Brooks:
The West Lake Landftll impacted communities request answers to the below questions.
During a June 26, 20 IJ meeting with Administrator Brooks, the Missouri Coalition for
the Environment agreed to work v.ith community members to only send questions
regarding the landfill once a rno·nth. The Environmental Protection Agency has yet to
respond to questions submitted in May and June of2013 . The West Lake Landfill1mpacted communities continue to be concerned about the safety of citizens living in
proximity to the landfill and depend on the EPA to address our concerns as the lead
regulatory agency. The undersigned community members expect the EPA to provide a
mitten response within 4 weeks of receiving this letter.
I. llmv close can the subsurface smoldering event approach West Lake Landtill before
the EPA interjects and emergency actions arc taken? Meaning, does the EPA have a ''red
line'' for its involvement?
2. las the EPA received any infonnation regarding groundwater flow at the West Lake
Landfill from the USGS? Is there a timeframe for USGS involvement?

b) Can the EPA explain the significant increase in wells that showed Radiumabove 5 PiC/1?
7 Does the EPA contend that 8, 700 tons ofleached barium sulfate from Latty A venue
was mixed with 38,000 tons to 39,000 tons of clean material as stated in the
Responsiveness Summary (page 13)?
8. What studies/investigation did the National Remedy and Review Board recommend
EPA Region 7 conduct to better understand the West Lake Landfill?
9. Why was the fence along OU-1 Area 1 moved closer to the St. Charles Rock Road?
What day(s) was the new fence constructed? By whose order?
10. Will the EPA provide digital records on its website of all documents in the
administrative record and public record concerning West Lake Landfill?
11 How many Superfund Sites n Region 7 involve radiological contamination? Has
EPA Region 7 executed a ROD at a radioactive Superfund Site? If so, which ones and
when?
12. How can the EPA conclude that the radioactive materials are contained based on the
ASPECT plane, which only measured gamma radiation up to one foot, while the
radioactive wastes are buried up to 15 feet deep and there is no liner to prevent
groundwater contamination?
13 . Has the EPA conducted community interviews of impacted communities in the last
ten years? If yes, does the EPA have evidence to support that community interviews were
conducted? If yes, how have community interviews guided the EPA's response to
community conce rns? If no, does the EPA plan on conducting community interviews
prior to the next Record of Decision?
