1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document is confidential. Because of the predecisional nature of this document, the

site-specific implementation plan (SSIP) and its attachments are not to be released without prior approval of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA).

This SSIP has been prepared by PRC Environmental Management, Inc. (PRC), under

Work Assignment No. 29-5JZZ, U.S. EPA Contract No. 68-WS-0084.

The objectives of this SSIP are as follows:

• Identify the number and location of samples to collect to fill Hazard Ranking System (HRS) data gaps (see Section 5.0).

• Propose screening site inspection (SSI) activities to confirm preliminary assessment (PA) data and fill HRS data gaps. A summary of proposed field work activities and estimated level of effort (LOE) hours for the SSI are provided in Sections 6.0 and 8.0, respectively.

• Prepare PA scoresheets (see Attachment A) in order to determine if an SSI is necessary and to identify HRS data gaps. The PA scoresheets were generated from a U.S. EPA software program.

Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures for SSI field activities are documented in the U.S. EPA-approved generic quality assurance project plan (QAPjP) dated

October 25, 1991.

2.0 SITE HISTORY

The Gradel Landfill is located at the intersection of Otter Creek Road and Cedar Point

Road on the west side of the City of Oregon, Lucas County, Ohio, 1.5 miles south of Lake Erie's

Maumee Bay (see Figure I for the site location). The I 0-acre landfill was licensed and became

operational in 1969 under the ownership of tbe Westover Corporation (Westover) and was

operated by Norman Gradel of Westover (State of Ohio, I 969). The landfill occupies the

southern 10 acres of an approximately 25-acre property. The landfill ceased operations when it

reached capacity around 1974. Commercial Oil Services, Inc. (Commercial Oil), the current site

owner, purchased portions of the property in 1977 and 1981 (U.S. EPA, 1990).

Limited information exists regarding the type and quantities of wastes accepted at the

landfill. However, Westover originally applied for a permit to accept domestic, commercial, and

industrial solid wastes, including a 1.imited amount of pavement material. A 1970 Ohio Department of Health inspection reported that the landfill mostly accepted aluminum oxide industrial waste which posed a fire hazard (State of Ohio, 1970). In a 1974 questionnaire from the state, landfill representatives replied that landfill wastes were comprised of 40 percent household wastes, 30 percent commercial wastes, and 30 percent industrial wastes (U.S. EPA, 1990).

Commercial Oil purchased the landfill portion of the property in 1977 and the remaining Westover property in 1981. Commercial Oil installed pits in the northern half of the property to store waste oil prior to recycling the oil on site. A 1985 Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) site inspection discovered that PCB-contaminated oil was illegally disposed of in the pits (Enviresponse, 1987). A 1987 removal action report indicates that heavy rains would cause the pits to overflow, posing the threat of PCBs contaminating the environment. During such periods, Commercial Oil was allowed, under a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit, to pump approximately 750,000 gallons of rainwater from the pits into a ditch on the eastern border of the property (Enviresponse, 1987). The oil pits are currently being remediated by U.S. EPA (Baker, 1991).

Leachate seeps have been documented at the landfill since 1972 (State of Ohio, 1972). In 1973, a large trench was excavated in the middle of the landfill to allow for a minimumclearance distance between the ground and high-tension power lines. This trench created a pond that induces infiltration through the landfill and the generation of leachate (U.S. EPA, 1990). Most of the leachate seepage flows into a drainage ditch located on the property's southern boundary (U.S. EPA, 1990). In June 1973, a leachate sample identified 2,000 micrograms per liter (µg/1) of aluminum. Additional leachate sampling in 1987 and 1990 indicated high levels of methylene chloride; bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate; and other compounds such as ammonia, aluminum, and lead (U.S. EPA, 1990; Atec Environmental Consultants, 1990).

The City of Oregon has proposed a road construction project to extend Millard Avenue along the landfill's southern property boundary. The road Jwill b.e built over the leachate drainage ditch. As part of this project, boreholes were developed ati;i�� ·;·he ditch. Organic vapor analysis readings taken during borehole development recorded concentrations of greater than 10,000 parts per million (Bennett and Williams, Inc., 1989).

3.0 RECONNAISSANCE VISIT - FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS

PRC personnel Jeff Swano, Keith Foszcz, and Mary.Freibert arrived at the site on Wednesday November 6, 1991 at 1:30 p.m. Prior to the site visit, Commercial Oil representatives could not be reached for an interview and Westover representatives declined to be interviewed. Therefore, no facility representatives were present during the reconnaissance visiL PRC met with Tina Baker of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) Northwest District Office. Ms. Baker was responsible for preparing the Preliminary Assessment for the Gradel Landfill site. The reconnaissance inspection began shortly after arriving at the site. PRC was accompanied by Ms. Baker during part of the reconnaissance inspection.

The property is bordered to the north by Cedar Point Road and the British Petroleum oil refinery. Farmland borders the property to the east. The Envirosafe Hazardous Waste Landfill borders the property to the south. Otter Creek Road and Toledo Edison property border the site to the west. West of Otter Creek Road is a wetland. See Figure 2 for specific site features.

The site property is primarily comprised of the Commercial Oil waste oil pits in the northern half (see Photograph No. I) and the landfill fa the southern half (see Photograph No. 2). A fence surrounds the waste oil pits that are currently being remediated by the U.S. EPA. A marshy area, demarcated by 6-foot high marsh grasses, is located outside of the southeast corner of the fence. PRC observed an oily sheen on the water in this area (see Photograph No. 3). A terra cotta pipe of u.nknown origin extends into this area (see Photograph N o . 4). The pipe appears to be angled towards the oil pits (see Photograph No. 5). If the pipe extends to a distance that posi.tions it below an oil pit, it could potentially act as a conduit for oil lo migrate laterally outside the pit area. This would account for the oily sheet observed on the water in this marshy area.

The landfill is south of the waste oil pits. A pond is located in the middle of the landfill in a low area. PRC did not observe any garbage floating in the pond. PRC observed numerous cracks and detected methane odors on the sides of the landfill. Rill e_rosion was prevalent on the south side of the southern slope. There were several areas of standing water across the landfill. These areas were demarcated by marsh grasses. In most of the landfill's standing water, PRC observed bubbling, presumably caused by methane leaks (see Photograph No. 6).

PRC observed numerous leachate seeps at the southern end of the landfill (see

Photographs Nos. 7 through 12). A drainage ditch carries this leachate west along the southern property boundary between the landfill and the Envirosafe property. This ditch was flowing

with a purple-black colored leachate at the time of the inspection (see Photograph No. 13). The ditch flows north from the southwest corner of the property for approximately 150 feet, then west into a culvert under Otter Creek Road, and into a wetland (see Photographs Nos. 16 and 17).

Another large leachate seep demarcated by marsh grasses is located in the west-central side of the landfill (see Photograph No. 14). This seep has eroded a drainage pathway west towards the southern drainage ditch (see Photograph No. IS). This drainage pathway was dry at the time of the inspection. No fence surrounds· the landfill area or the drainage ditches (see Photograph No. 18).

4.0 SSI JUSTlffCATION

The preliminary assessment (PA) indicated that the landfill does not pose any threat to the ground water because the site is underlain by a dense layer of clay with low permeability. In

addition, ground water is not used for drinking water purposes (U.S. EPA, 1990). However, leachate from the landfill enters Otter Creek and eventually Lake Erie, about 3 stream miles away. Drinking water intakes in Lake Erie, which supply approximately S00,000 people in Toledo and Oregon, are located approximately 12 stream miles from the site.

The overland flow of leachate contaminants may cause damage to flora and fauna on and off site. Contamination from the waste oil pits and landfill runoff could migrate to the farmland east of the site. This contamination may potentially affect the food chain if these crops are consumed by livestock or humans. The lack of a secure fence around the landfill provides further access to potentially contaminated o n -site soils.

Methane gas poses an air release threat to residents in the vicinity of the site. The nearest residential areas are located about . 75 miles from the site. In addition, there are employees working at the Commercial Oil facility and at the Envirosafe facility located adjacent to the landfill.

5.0 PROPOSED SAMPLING PLAN

Sampling recommendations identffied in this section are based on the type of information required to confirm existing information and fill HRS data gaps. Sampling activities at the Gradel Landfill are currently planned for January 8, 1992. Samples will be analyzed for full routine analytical services (RAS) parameters. The number of samples for each media and the selection justification are outlined below. QA/QC procedures for SSI field activities are

• Ground water Number of samples: None proposed

Justification: No monitoring wells exist on site and no residential wells are located in the vicinity of the site.

• Surf ace water

Number of samples: Two surface water samples

Justification: The southern drainage ditch js mostly comprised of leachate that is not very diluted. Surface water samples will be collected from this ditch, which originates on site, to characterize wastes present at the site.

• Sediment

• Soil

• Air

Number of samples: Ten sediment samples

Justification: Sediment samples will be collected from the drainage ditch near leachate seeps and also in the wetland to characterize wastes present at the site, to identify the extent of contamination at the site, and to establish if contaminants are migrating to surface water.

Number of samples: Three soil samples

Justification: Soil samples will be collected near leachate seeps to characterize on-site wastes and to document soil contamination on and off site.

. Number of samples: None proposed

Justification: Air monitoring equipment used for health and safety purposes will be used to document the potential for air releases.

• Background

Number of samples: One off-site soil sample

Justification: Background soil sample SJ will be collected to establish site-specific background


chemical analyte levels for soil. No surface water background sample will be collected because the surface water source originates on site . Background levels will be used as a baseline for comparison of contaminated areas with unaffected areas.

Sampling locations and the number of samples may be changed at the discretion of the field team leader jn response to site conditions at the time of the sampling visit.

6.0 FIELD WORK SUMMARY

Specific field activities to be conducted during the SSI are indicated below. Procedures for SSI field activities are documented in the U.S. EPA-approved generic QAPjP dated October 25, 1991.

• Interview the site owner(s) or representative(s) • Screen the site with safety instrumentation • Collect environmental samples • Take photographs of site features and sampLing locations • Assess the need for immediate removal actions • Prepare sample and chain-of-custody documentation

The proposed PRC health and safety protocol to be followed during the SSI is described in the site health and safety plan (see Attachment B). Field personnel will use Levels D and C protection. Field personnel will be prepared to increase the level of protection from Level D to C, if necessary. General health and safety procedures for SSI field activities are documented in PRC's generic health and safety plan dated July 1991.

The field team members and their responsibilities are listed below. Specific responsibilities of SSI field team members are documented in the U.S. EPA-approved generic QAPjP dated October 25, 1991.

7.0 DISPOSAL OF INVESTIGATION-DERIVED WASTES

If, in the best professional judgement of the field team leader, investigation-derived wastes can be rendered non-hazardous, the wastes will be double-bagged and deposited in an industrial dumpster on site or transported back to the SSI warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio for disposal, as directed in the Investigati on-Derived Waste Management Guidance Manual (U.S. EPA-ORD, 1991).

Investigation-derived wastes will generally consist of disposable latex gloves, boot covers, and detergent water. These items are used primarily for prevention of cross-contamination and for sanitary considerations during sampling activities.

Should contact with concentrated wastes occur, disposable gear and wastewater will be secured in a polyethylene drum, on site if possible, until site sample analysis results are received. If analytical data reveals contamination, these wastes will be disposed of by a licensed hauling and disposal facility.

SITE DESCRIPTION ANO HISTORY:

The Gradel Landfill is located in Lucas County, on the east side of Otter Creek Road, and south of Cedar Point Road. The 10-acre landfill was licensed and became operational in 1969 under the ownership of Westover Corporation and operation of Norman Gradel. The landfill, which ceased operations between 1974 and 1975, was purchased by Commercial Oil Services, Inc.

Analysis of leachate, which is common along the south side of the landfill, was performed In 1973, 1987, and 1990. Results showed high levels of ammoni a an< ni trogen as weQ as elevated levels of aluminum, lead, 2.inc, solvents, pesticides, and other organic pollutants.

It has been recommended that actions to reduce leachate generation be taken. Also, the landfill is not fenced, and direct contact with the area is possible.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES:

Information regarding the types and quanthles of wastes accepted at the she Is limited. A 1974 questionnaire indicated that the wastes were comprised of 40 percent household, 30 percent commercial, and 30 percent industrial waste. Pavement material may also have been accepted. A 1970 inspection report recorded that the site was, at that time. accepting mainly aluminum oxide industrial waste.

A large trench was excavated to allow minimum clearance distance from high tension power lines to the ground. This trench created a pond which induces Infiltration through the landfill and generation of leachate.

I Commercial Oil Hlegally disposed PCB-contaminated oil In pi ts located on the northern half of the property. The pi ts are being remedlated by EPA In the past.

I however, heavy ralnlalls have caused the pits to overflow, most likely to a drainage ditch on the east skfe of the property.
