SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION

On October 18, 2002, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's (Illinois EPA) Office of

Site Evaluation, was tasked by United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)

Region V to conduct an Expanded Site Inspection (ESI) at the American Smelting And Refining

Company (ASARCO) site in Taylor Springs, Illinois. The Expanded Site Inspection is

performed under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation

and Liability Act (CERCLA) commonly known as Superfund. The Expanded Site Inspection

included the preparation of a site-specific work plan which was submitted to U.S. EPA Region V

in June 2003. ASARCO has advanced to the ESI stage based on the finding of two previous

CERCLA inspections. These inspections have documented the presence of soil and sediment

contamination associated with past site activities.

The objective of an Expanded Site Inspection is to collect all data necessary to prepare a HazardRanking System (HRS) Scoring package to propose the site to the Nation Priority List (NPL). Tofully evaluate the site and fulfill HRS documentation requirements, the ESI should:

1) Investigate and document critical hypotheses or assumptions not completely testedduring previous investigations;

2) Collect samples to attribute hazardous substances to the site;3) Collect samples to establish representative background levels;4) Collect any other missing HRS data for pathways of concern.

SECTION 2.0 SITE BACKGROUND

SECTION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION

The ASARCO site is located on the south side of the village of Taylor Springs, Montgomery

County, Illinois (see Figure 1). The site occupies approximately 673 acres, of which 303 acres are

wooded, 189 acres are used for agriculture, and the remaining 181 acres comprise the former and

current site operations area. The site is bordered to the northwest by cultivated farmland and

woodlands, to the northeast by residential areas, to the east by the Taylor Springs waste water

treatment plant and cultivated farmland, and to the south and west by cultivated farmland and

woodlands (see Figure 2). There are two ponds located on the northwest edge of the site that are

regularly fished by the local community. The mid-section of the site is comprised of numerous

waste piles that were created over the operational life of the site.

The plant is currently divided into the zinc oxide plant and the former primary metals plant. All

of the former primary metals plant buildings have been demolished and only the zinc oxide plant

is currently in operation. The zinc oxide plant occupies approximately five acres of the original

181 acres used by the various operations at this location. The remainder of the site is a mixture of

several different waste streams and demolition debris. These areas have little or no vegetation

and are prone to erosion. This erosion and surface water run-off is collected by two separate

drainage routes to the west of the plant area. These drainage routes both flow through a series of

wetlands and into the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek.

SECTION 2.2 SITE HISTORY

American Zinc Lead and Smelting Company operated as a primary zinc smelter from 1911

through 1924. Zinc oxide production began in 1917, and continues today by Midwest Zinc.

ASARCO purchased the site from the American Zinc Lead and Smelting Company (now Blue

Tee Corporation) in 1971 and operated only the zinc oxide.

Previous operations at the site include: mining (shafts extending beneath the site) and storage (for

on-site use) of coal, primary slab zinc production, sulfuric acid production, secondary slab zinc

production, American Process zinc oxide production, and French Process zinc oxide production.

Primary slab zinc production included a coal gasification process and generation of sulfur (which

was used for sulfuric acid production) from the calcinization of zinc ore, coal combustion wastes

(clinker), and slag. Secondary slab zinc production utilized scrap materials, which were smelted,

producing copper, aluminum, lead, and associated clinkers and slag. American Process zinc

oxide production also generated clinker from the furnaces. Leaded zinc oxide was produced at

one point, generating associated clinker waste material. Currently, the site utilizes the French

process for zinc oxide production, which claims to reduce or eliminate process wastes.

Illinois EPA involvement with the waste materials from the smelting operations began in

December 1994. At that time ASARCO entered into the Illinois EPA's Pre-Notice Site Cleanup

Program and performed several investigations at the site. Arsenic, beryllium, lead, and zinc were

detected at levels exceeding the State of Illinois Tier I Industrial/Commercial Ingestion and/or

Inhalation Remediation Objectives (ROs). Arsenic, cadmium, lead, selenium, and zinc were

Page 7: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

detected above the Tier I Migration to Class I and/or Class n Groundwater ROs. Samples

collected for the Pre-Notice Site Cleanup Program also indicated that there was a release to

groundwater and surface water for several of the above listed metals.

In October of 1999, the Pre-Notice Site Cleanup Program due to the magnitude of the

environmental problems found at the ASARCO site present it to the Site Remediation Referral

Group (SRRG). SRRG then recommended that the Office of Site Evaluation evaluate the site's

impact on the surrounding area. This activity took place in May of 2000, in the form of a Pre-

CERCLIS Screening Action.

SECTION 2.3 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS

hi March of 2000, Illinois EPA conducted a PRE-CERCLIS Action Inspection and identified this

area of contaminated waste as a source of sediment contamination impacting two small lakes, a

wetland area, and the middle fork of Shoal Creek. In May of 2000, numerous X-ray Fluorescence

(XRF) readings were taken at the facility and surrounding area by the Illinois EPA. Readings

from a small lake on the northwest side of the site reported lead levels at 5149 ppm, and zinc at

25600 ppm. The waste piles had XRF readings of 2930 ppm lead and 35277 ppm zinc. Readings

were also taken along a well defined drainage route from the waste piles, through a wetland area

to Shoal Creek. In the wetland area lead levels were at 1049 ppm, and zinc at 17894 ppm.

Following the PRE-CERCLIS Action Report, the site was placed on the Comprehensive

Environmental Responsive Compensation and Liability System (CERCLIS) in April 2001.

Page 8: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

Based on the findings of the PRE-CERCLIS inspection, the ASARCO site was further evaluated

in the form of a CERCLA Integrated Assessment prepared by Illinois EPA Office of Site

Evaluation. The Integrated Assessment included the preparation of a site-specific work plan

which was submitted to U.S. EPA Region V in March 2001. The field activity portion of the

Integrated Assessment was conducted on April 12 and 13, and on June 12 and 13 of 2001. Other

Integrated Assessment activities included interviews with personnel associated with the site,

local residences, village representatives, and the collection of samples from the area.

SECTION 2.4 REGULATORY STATUS

Based upon available file information the ASARCO site does not appear to be subject to The

Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action authorities. Information

currently available does not indicate that the site is under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act

(AEA), Uranium Mine Tailings Action (UMTRCA), or the Federal Insecticide Fungicide or

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

SECTION 3.0 EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION ACTIVITIES

SECTION 3.1 SAMPLING ACTIVITIES

SECTION 3.1.1 RECONNAISSANCE ACTIVITIES

Prior to the June, 2003 Expanded Site Inspection, Illinois EPA Office of Community Relations

and Office of Site Evaluation personnel made a presentation to the village board of Taylor

Page 9: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

Springs. This presentation focused on the findings of the previous residential sampling of thei

village. At the conclusion of this meeting the board was informed of the need to further evaluate

the residential areas in Taylor Springs. At this time the mayor expressed the willingness of the

village to cooperate with and assist the Illinois EPA.

The actual site reconnaissance was conducted as the field team selected properties to be screened

and possibly sampled later. This process allowed the field team to rapidly identify areas that had

suspect materials needing further evaluation. The Illinois EPA systematically looked at every

street and alley in Taylor Springs for these materials. When an area was identified for screening

Illinois EPA community relations personnel would secure access for that property.

SECTION 3.1.2 RESIDENTIAL SOIL SAMPLES

Seventeen residential soil samples were collected from sixteen locations during the Expanded

Site Inspection. All sample locations were selected to confirm the XRF readings taken during this

investigation. This information is located in Table 1.3, XRF Result Summary and Table 2.2,

XRF Sample Locations with Lead Results. These samples were collected to determine if

hazardous contaminants were present within the soils of the community surrounding the site. Soil

sample depth ranged from 0-4 inches, and all samples were analyzed for total metals and cyanide

only. A complete list of the inorganic materials analyzed for can be found in Appendix C. Figure

3, illustrates the approximate location of each sample. Table 2.1, provides detailed information

regarding each soil sample's appearance. Table 1.2, provides a key soil sample summary and

highlights analytical data which has been detected at levels that meet observed release criteria

according to U.S. EPA's Hazard Ranking System (MRS).

All soil samples for the Expanded Site Inspection were compared to background sample XI01.

This representative background sample was collected southeast side of the village of Taylor

Springs from an undisturbed residential property. Sample XI01, consisted of a dark brown clay-

loam with organic matter. This sample was used to establish background levels to compare the

other samples to.

Soil sample X106 was a duplicate sample of X105. Soil obtained for X105 was placed in a

stainless steel pan, mixed thoroughly, then placed alternately into sample containers for both

X105andX106.

Sample XI02, consisted of a brown silty-loam. This sample was collected from a play area to

determine if this location had received any material from the ASARCO facility. Sample analysis

revealed elevated levels of copper, lead, and zinc.

Sample XI17, was collected from an open field near Elm and West Streets. It was a dark brown

sand and gravel material. This sample was collected from a open field near the site to determine

if this location had received any material from the ASARCO facility. Sample analysis revealed

elevated levels of copper, lead, and zinc.

Following sample collection, all samples were transferred to containers provided by the Illinois

EPA's Division of Laboratories. The sample containers were packaged and sealed in accordance

with Illinois EPA's Office of Site Evaluation procedures. Sample analysis was provided by the

USEPA's Contract Laboratory Program (CLP), which utilizes a network of various laboratories

throughout the United States. A complete analytical data package, including quality assurance

review sheets, for the ASARCO site is located in Appendix E (volume 2 of the Expanded Site

Inspection report).

The analytical results of the residential soil samples are discussed in the soil exposure pathway

section of this report.

SECTION 4.0 SITE SOURCES

Information obtained during the 2001, Integrated Assessment identified two sources of

contamination at the ASARCO site. The first source is the waste piles and the second is the

contaminated soil found through-out the community. Due to the limited scope of this

investigation, the possibility exists that additional information may reveal the presence of

additional sources of contaminants.

SECTION 4.1 WASTE PILES

Two distinct waste piles areas were identified and sampled during the 2001, Integrated

Assessment. They are referred to as the west and east side waste pile areas. It appears that waste

materials from site operations were deposited in these areas dating back to 1911. The west side

waste pile area has an approximate area of five acres, and the east side waste pile area has an

approximate area of four acres. Waste samples collected in April of 2001, revealed the presence

of: arsenic, beryllium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc.

SECTION 4.2 CONTAMINATED SOIL (TOWN)

The contaminated soils located out in the village were first identified by the 2001 Integrated

11

Page 15: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

Assessment and further evaluated during the ESI. They were confirmed through laboratoryV

analysis of several soil samples collected during these inspections.

This area of contaminated soil encompasses residential locations that have been impacted by

contaminated waste products from the plant's operations. The soils that make up this source were

found to be present in residential properties. Each of the soil samples collected within this

source contained significant levels of contaminants that are similar to the materials in the waste

pile. This area of contaminated soil has resulted in the deposition of contamination by several

methods. The exact method of deposition of this material is unknown. The most likely method is

that the waste material was used as a fill material and directly placed on tc the property.

Although a specific mode of deposition has not been established at this time, it is apparent that

elevated inorganic contamination are present within residential properties.

Based on the information gathered during the Expanded Site Inspection, the extent of

contamination can be defined by the soil samples collected from residential properties. Samples:

X103, X104, X107, XI09, X110, XI12, XI15, and XI16 were collected from residential

properties and within the upper four inches of soil. When compared to background Samples

XI01 at least one contaminant from each sample location was documented to meet observed

contamination criteria. The area encompassed by these sample locations is extensive but can not

be completely and accurately delineated at this time.

12

Page 16: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

Information gathered during the Expanded Site Inspection revealed that contamination related to

on-site waste piles exist within the upper two feet of soil on residential properties. There is a

vegetative cover over most of the documented areas of contamination; however, since they are

within residential areas they do remain accessible to the public. Information regarding sample

results has been shared with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). The IDPH has

conducted a health consultation under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic

Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).

To supplement the residential soil samples analyzed by the laboratory, a field-based XRF was

used to analyze more data that defined additional areas of contaminated soil. The information

collected by the XRF indicates that additional areas of contamination are found throughout

Taylor Springs. Although not used in the Hazard Ranking System evaluation the data collected

with the XRF suggest that further investigations at the ASARCO site should take into account

this type of data.

SECTION 5.0 MIGRATION PATHWAYS

The Office of Site Evaluation identifies three migration pathways and one exposure pathway, as

identified in CERCLA's Hazard Ranking System, by which hazardous substances may pose

threat to human health and/or the environment. Consequently, sites are evaluated on their known

or potential impact to these pathways. The pathways evaluated are groundwater migration,

surface water migration, soil exposure, and air migration.

13

SECTION 5.1 GROUNDWATER

According to Illinois EPA Bureau of Land file information, the Taylor Springs area is situated on

the southwestern edge of the Illinois Basin. This portion of the Illinois Basin is characterized by

relatively flat prairie land with intervening areas of gently rolling, hilly terrain. The entire area is

covered by a thick accumulation of glacially derived material and there is no exposed bedrock at

the site or in the surrounding area. The bedrock beneath the site is composed primarily of shales

and sandstones of Pennsylvanian age. Interspersed among the shales and sandstones are relatively

thin limestones and a number of coal seams. Coal was mined at a depth of 460 feet at this site.

The unconsolidated materials overlying the bedrock consist of glacial outwash, till, and loess,

and the soils derived from them, as well as recent deposits of alluvium.

The majority of the people living within 4-miles of the site obtain their drinking water from

reservoirs at Lake Hillsboro and Gien Shoals Lake (see Appendix A). Three private wells have

been identified within one mile of this site. The closest well is approximately a half mile to the

southeast and up-gradient of the site. The other two wells are to the west of the site and appear to

be on the opposite side of a hydrologic divide. No formal residential well samples were collected

during this investigation.

SECTION 5.2 SURFACE WATER

The surface water pathway was evaluated during the Integrated Assessment and the following

information was taken from that report.

14

Page 18: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

According to a Department of the Interior Wetlands Inventory Map, the ASARCO site has a

series of wetlands connecting run-off from the waste piles to the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek

which is a perennial water body. (The applicable portion of this map can be found in Appendix

B.) The HRS allows for wetlands contiguous to a perennial water body to be part of that water

body. Therefore, the Probable Point of Entry (PPE) is the point that documents the presence of

contamination within the surface water route. For the analysis of the surface water route the PPE

has been designated by a sediment sample collected during the LA. Laboratory analysis of this

sample documents a release of: arsenic, beryllium, copper, lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc to

the surface water pathway.

This pathway begins where surface water run-off from the site enters the first perennial water

body. This pathway then travels fifteen miles down-stream completing the 15-Mile Target

Distance Limit (TDL). For the ASARCO site this pathway starts at the base of the waste piles

and travels l/z mile through a series of wetlands on-site to the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. Once

in the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek it continues for 2 and 3/4 miles to the confluence of Shoal

Creek and the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. From this confluence it travels an additional 11 and

% of a mile to complete the 15-mile TDL. This point is located northwest of Greenville, Illinois.

The TDL is illustrated in Appendix A.This site also has waste material in direct contact with the

water in two on-site lakes. Therefore these lakes are directly impacted by past site activities. The

on-site lakes, the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek and Shoal Creek are all considered fisheries.

As stated earlier, the area separating the two on-site lakes appears to be similar to the material

15

Page 19: IL EPA - CERCLA EXPANDED SITE INSPECTION REPORT (REFERENCE … · cercla expanded site inspection report for: asarco, inc. taylor springs, illinois iln 000508170 lpc 1350305004 prepared

found in the waste piles. This material is in direct contact with the water in both lakes. A

sediment sample was collected from the small lake and was primarily a waste material.

Laboratory analysis of it documents a release of: arsenic, copper, lead, silver, and zinc. A surface

water sample also documented a release of mercury to the large lake. Mercury was also reported

in three waste samples and in one soil sample.

SECTION 5.3 SOIL EXPOSURE

Previous sections within this report identify the waste piles at the ASARCO site as a source of

contamination encompassing at least nine acres.

Soil sampling conducted during the Expanded Site Inspection identified nine residences,

approximately 24 individuals, through laboratory analysis with material similar to the material

found in the on-site waste piles. This material is in the upper two feet of the grounds surface and

is within 200 feet of an occupied residence. It is believed that this material was physically

transported to these areas and possibly used as a fill material. This material was primarily found

in the drainage ways along the streets and in several alleys. The contaminants of concern in the

residential area are: arsenic, lead, nickel, and zinc.

One day care play area also has elevated levels of copper, lead and zinc. There are no schools

located within the village boundaries of Taylor Springs.

SECTION 5.4 AIR ROUTE

No formal air samples were collected during the Expanded Site Inspection. Early in the

investigative process XRF readings in the community did not reveal any impacts from air-borne

deposition. Later investigations focused more on waste materials being physically transported to

the residential areas. An estimated 5,033 people reside within a four-mile radius of the site.

There is a low potential for future migration of air-bome particulates from the site to the
