Re: Work Plan Addendum No. 2, Septic System Investigation,August 22, 1991, Woodlawn Landfill RI/FS, Cecil County,Maryland
Dear Mr. Belford:
EPA and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). have reviewed the subject document and submit the followingcomments. A revised Work Plan addressing these comments must besubmitted to EPA and MDE no later than October 10, 1991.
Page 1-5, section 1.3, Technical Approach: Although theresults of the work conducted during the earlier septic systeminvestigation suggest that the highest levels of soilcontamination in the old drain field may occur within eight feetof the ground surface near the manhole at the head of the olddrain field ("Septic System Drain Field Investigation," ERM,April 11, 1991; letter to Barry Belford from Debra Rossi datedMay 30, 1991), restricting the subsurface soil sample collectioneffort to one backfill sample from a single boring may defeat thepurpose of the sampling as set forth in section 1.2 of the WorkPlan. Therefore, delete the statement, "One subsurface samplewill also be collected from the drain field backfill materialnext to the manhole to characterize contaminant concentrations inthe original drain field." Instead, indicate that up to threeborings will be completed during the effort to secure subsurfacesoil samples which are representative of the most highlycontaminated soils in the old drain field. The provisions in theWork Plan should, in addition, include an allowance for fieldscreening of up to six subsurface samples in the old drain fieldfor organic compounds and metals, using mobile laboratoryfacilities. Those boring intervals which are not subjected togas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and X-ray

Mr. BelfordSeptember 9, 1991Page 2
fluorescence (XRF) analyses in the mobile laboratory must bescreened for total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with aphotoionization detector (PID) using the jar headspace method asdescribed in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) Addendumdated November 21, 1990. Split samples from each boring interval(intervals screened for organic compounds and metals with mobilelaboratory instrumentation, and intervals screened with a PID)must be appropriately packaged, preserved, labeled and stored,pending selection of samples for Target Compound List (TCL) andTarget Analyte List (TAL) analyses at the EPA-approved stationarylaboratory. Based on review of the mobile laboratory data andthe PID data, it may be expedient to submit more than onesubsurface soil sample from the old drain field to the stationarylaboratory. Therefore, the Work Plan is to include an allowancefor submittal of more than one subsurface drain field sample tothe EPA-approved stationary laboratory. It is expected that arepresentative of EPA and/or a representative of MDE will bepresent during the subsurface sampling event to provide inputregarding the appropriate number and location of soil borings,samples to be screened in the field, and samples to be analyzedat the stationary laboratory. (These comments pertain to section3.2, Soil Sampling, and subsection 3.2.3, Drain Field BackfillSampling, as well.)
Page 1-2, first bullet, page 1-5, third bullet, and page1-6, first sentence: The objective of the subsurface soilanalyses is to determine if soils that received discharges fromthe septic system presently constitute a potential source ofground water contamination (and therefore require remediation).The objective of the Summers approach is to determine, on thebasis of site-specific and contaminant-specific conditions, theconcentration of contaminants in soils that should not degradeground water quality beyond an acceptable level (i.e., a maximumcontaminant level (MCL), etc.). The threshold contaminant valuesdetermined by the Summers approach are compared to contaminantlevels measured in site soils. If contaminant levels in thesoils in the vicinity of the septic system exceed the thresholdvalues derived by means of the Summers approach, remediationalternatives for this portion of the Woodlawn Landfill site willbe addressed in the Feasibility Study. It is important to notethat the information to be gathered in this approach cannot beused to conclude that the septic system has not at any timecontributed to ground water contamination, regardless of theoutcome of soil analyses and the Summers approach. That is, theobjective of this work is not to determine "...whether the septicsystem Bay have b««n a potential source of contaminants...", or"...whether, there is a relationship between concentrations ofchemical compounds observed in soils that received
fiR305033
Mr. BelfordSeptember 9, 1991Page 3
discharges... and concentrations in ground water...". Pleasemodify the statement of the objectives, accordingly.
Page 2-3: It appears that the last paragraph on this page,which refers to sections 2.2 and 2.3, "below," should appear atthe end of section 2.1.
Section Three, Scope of Work, and subsection 3.1, LeakTesting of Septic System Lines: As indicated in EPA's letter toyou dated May 30, 1991, a second round of ground water samplesfrom monitoring well TSW-1 is expected to provide more completeinformation regarding conditions at the site. An additionalround of ground water samples may be practically obtained duringimplementation of the Work Plan. Therefore, expand the scope ofwork to include collection and analysis (at the EPA-approvedstationary laboratory) of one round of ground water samples frommonitoring well TSW-1.
The Work Plan includes arrangements for leak testing theseptic system drain lines. Since any leaks from the septic tankmay have discharged contaminants to soils and ground water, theWork Plan must also include provisions for leak testing the tankand obtaining soil samples that may have become contaminated bydischarge from any septic tank leaks which may be identified.
Please specify the method that will be employed to examinethe portion of the septic line which is not accessible forexcavation, in the event that a leak is found in section 1 of theseptic line and excavation of this line between the west wall ofthe Transfer Station and the septic tank reveals no leaks.
All field work outlined in the Work Plan, including theexcavation of drain lines and isolation of sections of the septicsystem, must be conducted in compliance with 29 CFR Part 1910.In particular, all employees performing RI/FS work shall befamiliar with and subject to the provisions of the site Healthand Safety Plan, including those provisions pertaining to levelsof personal protective equipment, medical surveillancerequirements, air and personnel monitoring, decontaminationprocedures, the emergency response plan, etc., and shall havereceived training as required by 29 CFR 1910.120, paragraph (e).County employees who do not meet these requirements are notqualified to perform response work at the site. Additionally, itis necessary at this time to redefine the work zones in andaround the work area, including the exclusion, contaminationreduction, .and support zones. Compliance with OSHA requirementsmust be clearly stated in the Work Plan.

Mr. BelfordSeptember 9, 1991Page 4
Page 3-4, section 3.2.1, Sampling of Septic Line LeakLocations, second paragraph: Please specify how safetyconditions in the trench will be determined.
Page 3-5, section 3.2.2, Surficial Soil Sampling: It is notexpected that significant levels of VOCs will be present in thesurficial soils of the old drain field. Therefore, it will notbe necessary to screen the surficial soil samples for VOCs.However, surficial soil samples will be screened for semivolatileorganic compounds, pesticides, PCBs and metals in the field;surficial soil samples selected for shipment to the EPA-approvedstationary laboratory will be analyzed for the entire TCL/TALsuite, including VOCs.
Page 3-6, first paragraph: If field screening of samplesindicates that the highest levels of surficial soil contaminationare not directly adjacent to the manhole, it may be appropriateto submit an alternative sample, identified through fieldscreening, to the EPA-approved stationary laboratory. The WorkPlan must be flexible enough to assure that the objectives citedin section 1.2 are satisfied.
Page 3-7, third line: The results of soil samplingconducted by EPA's oversight contractor in January 1991 have beenvalidated and reviewed by EPA's Central Regional Laboratory.Therefore, these results are now considered final, and notpreliminary.
Page 3-12, section 3.6, Report Preparation: Please specifythat both field screening results (including quality assuranceand quality control sample results) and stationary laboratoryresults will be presented in the report.
Additional comments on the Work Plan which have beensubmitted by EPA's Central Regional Laboratory (CRL) appear inthe attached Appendix A.
