RE: _ Di!1J11~n~.A,lka!iSUPtlf~<lSite_Notice of Potential Liability forResponse Actions in the Lower Passaic River, New Jersey

Dear Ms. Rothschild:

The Vnited States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA''') is charged with responding to therelease andlor threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants into theenvironment andwith enforcement responsibilities under the Comprehensive EnvironmentalResponse. Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA'j, 42 V.S.C. §9601et~. Accordingly, EPA is seeking your cooperation in an innovative approach toenvironmental remediation and restoration activities for the Lower Passaic River.

EPA has documented the release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants andcontaminants into the six-mile stretch of the river, known as the Passaic River Study Area, whichis part of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site ("Site") located in Newark, New Jersey. Based onthe results of previous CERCLA remedial investigation activities and other environmentalstudies, including a reconnaissance study of the Passaic River conducted by the United StatesArmy Corps of Engineers ("USACE"), EPA has further determined that contaminated sedimentsand other potential sources of hazardous substances exist along the entire 17-mile tidal reach ofthe Lower Passaic River. Thus, EPA has decided to expand the Study to include the areal extentof contamination to which hazardous substances from the six-mile stretch were transported; andthose sources from which hazardous substances outside the six-mile stretch have come to belocated within the expanded Study Area.

By this letter, EPA is notifying Kearny Smelting & Refining of its potential liability relating tothe Site pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 D.S.C. §9607(a). Under CERCLA,potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") include current and past owners of a facility, as well aspersons who arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at the Site, or thetransport of hazardous substances to the Site.

In recognition of our complementary roles, EPA has formed a partnership with USACE and theNew Jersey Department of Transportation-Office ofM"aritime Resources ("OMRj ["thegovernmental partnership'1 to identify and to address waler quality improvement, remediation,and restoration opportunities in the l7-mile Lower Passaic River. This govemmenLal partnershipis consistent with a national Memorandum of Understanding (UMOU") executed on July 2,2002between EPA and USACE. This MOU calls for the two agencies to cooperate, whereappropriate, on environmental remediation and restoration of degraded urban rivers and relatedresources. In agreeing to implement the MOU, the EPA and USACE will use their existingstatutory and regulatory authorities in a coordinated manner. These a~thorities for EPA includeCERCLA, the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. TheUSACE's authority stems from the Water Resources Development Act ("'WRDA"). WRDAallows for the use of some federal funds to pay for a portion of the USACE's approved projectsrelated to ecosystem restoration.

_ For the first phase ofthe Lower Passaic River Project. the governmental partners are proceeding, ~iiha;;integn.t-edfive~to seven::year study icicietermlne' an appropn':iteremecHation and -, - --

restoration plan for the river. The study will involve investigation of environmental impacts andpollution sources, as well as evaluation of alternative actions, leading to recommendations ofenvironmental remediation and restoration activities. This study is being conducted by EPAunder the authority of CERCLA and by USACE and OMR, as local sponsor, under WRDA.EPA, USACE, and OMR are coordinating with the New Jersey Department ofEnviromnentalProtection and the Federal and State Natural Resource Trustee agencies. EPA, USACE, andOMR estimate that the study will cost approximately $20 million, with the WRDA and CERCLAshares being about $10 million each. EPA will be seeking its share of the costs of the study fromPRPs.

Based on information that EPA evaluated during the course of its investigation of the Site, EPAbelieves that hazardous substances were being released from Kearny Smelting & Refining'sfacility located at 936 Harrison Avenue in Kearny, New Jersey, into the Lower Passaic River.Hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants released from the facility into the riverpresent a risk to the envirorunent and the humans who may ingest contaminated fish andshellfish. Therefore, Kearny Smelting & Refining may be potentially liable for response costswhich the government may incur relating to the study of the Lower Passaic River. In addition,responsible parties may be required to pay damages for injury to, destruction of, or loss of naturalresources, including the cost of assessing such damages.

Enclosed is a list ofthe other PRPs who have received Notice letters. This list represents EPA'sfindings on the identities of PRPs, to date. We are continuing efforts to locate additional PRPswho have released hazardous substances, directly or indirectly, into the Passaic River. Inclusionon, or exclusion from, the list does not constitute a final determination by EPA concerning theliability of any party for the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. Beadvised that notice of your potential liability at the Site is being forwarded to all parties on thislist.

We request that you consider becoming a "cooperating party" for the Lower Passaic River

..Project. As a cooperating party. you. along with many other such parties. will be expected tofund EPA's share of the study costs. Upon completion of the study. it is expected that CERCLAand WRDA proce~ses will be used to identify the required remediation and restoration programs,as well as the assigrunent of remediation and restoration costs. At this time,.the commitments ofthe cooperating parties will apply only to the study. For those who choose not to cooperate, EPAmay apply the CERCLA enforcement process. pursuant to Sections 106 (a) and 107(a) ofCERCLA, 42 D.S.C. §9606(a) and §9607(a) and other Jaws.

Pursuant to CERCLA Section] 13(k), EPA must establish an adminislrative record that containsdocuments that fonn the basis ofEPA's decision on the selection ofa response action for a site.The administrative record files, which contain the documents related to the response actionselected for this Site are located at EPA's Region 2 office (290 Broadway, New York) on the] glbfloor. You may call the Records Center at (212) 637-4308 to make an appointment to view theadministrative record for the Lower Passaic River Project.

10.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

10.1 Conclusions10.1.1 SoilsThe following conclusions can be made from the soil samples' analyticalresults:

(1) The following elements, compounds or classes of compounds aredetermined to be in compliance with the prevailing soil cleanupcriteria: VOCs, Als, PCBs, cadmium, chromium, cyanide and phenol;

(2) All shallow soil samples analyzed for arsenic are in compliancewith the criterion except for one sample. Overall. the soilsamples are compliance with the standards.

Some deep samples had elevated levels of arsenic; however. theseconcentrations are apparently related to the emplacement ofhistoric fill on the site or to the native geologic material andnot to on-site operations. This supported by the absence ofmetals used on-site (i.e., copper, lead and zinc) from the sampleswhere arsenic was detected;

(3) The soil analytical data demonstrate that the following metals arenot in compliance with the current soil cleanup criteria:beryllium. copper and zinc. The source of these metals in the on-site soils appears to be related to the on-site smeltingoperations. Even though beryllium. copper and zinc are found atelevated concentrations in the soils. the analytical results ofthe ground water sampling for these metals does not demonstrateany violations of the NJGWQS. Lead was only detected in one well(MW-lls) during Hay 1993 at a concentration of 33 ppb. whichexceeds the NJGWQS. After 50 years of operation, the impact ofthe on-site metal contamination in the soils is insignificant inrelation to the ground water and surface water qualities.

10.1.2 SedimentsThe following conclusions can be made from the sediment samples' analyticalresults:

(1) Sediment cores Sed-I. Sed-2 and Sed-4 had elevated levels ofberyllium. cadmium, copper. lead and zinc. Beryllium. copper andzinc have not adversely impacted the ground or surface water.Hence. the significant of the elevated levels in the sedimentcores with respect to the ground and surface water qualities isminimal.

(2) Sediment core Sed-3 is characterized by elevated levels ofthallium and an absence of copper, lead, and zinc. which arerelated to the on-site operations. It is likely that the elevatedlevels of thallium found in core Sed-3 are not related to on-siteoperations because of the absence of copper, lead and zinc.Thallium levels found in core Sed-3 are most likely related tohistoric fill placed on the property in the early 1900's •

TIERRA-B-016013

(3) Cadmium and thallium in the sediments have resulted in some minorlocal impacts to the ground water quality. The highest cadmium,concentration detected in the s~~llO! wells was 32 ppb, eighttimes the standard of 4 ppb. , Cadmium concentrations exceeded thestandard in nine of the lIon-site shallow wells. Thallium wa~detected in concentrations in excess of the NJGWQS in six of the11 shallow on-site wells. The values detected ranged from 51 to194 ppb.

10.1.3 SludgeThe following conclusions can be made from the sludge samples' analyticalresults:

(I) Both sludge samples ST-l and ST-2 meet the sludge quality criteriafor a Class A sludge.

(2) The sludge found in both septic tanks outside the main smeltingbUilding pose no threat to the soil or ground water quality on-site.

10.1.4 Ground WaterThe following conclusions can be made from the ground water levelmeasurements:

(1) Ground water flow in the shallow perched water zone is radial fromthe on-site lagoon and has a strong southwest component.Additionally, a localized mound appears in the Vicinity of wellMW-ls.

(2) Ground water flow in the deep aqUifer is to the south and waterlevel elevations drop to below MSL in some deep monitoring wells.

(3) The ground water elevation in the shallow perched zone is higherthan in the deep zone in all monitoring well pairs.

(4) Analyses of the water level differences demonstrate that the twoaquifer zones are interconnected beneath the site. Contaminationintroduced into the shallow zone migrates downward into the deeperaquifer as well as laterally.

10.1.4.1 Shallow WellsThe following conclusions can be made from the ground water samples'analytical results from the shallow wells:

(1) The following elements, compound or classes of compound have beendetermined to be in compliance with the NJGWQSr BINs, AEs,Pesticides, PCBs, beryllium, copper and zinc. Even thoughberyllium, copper, zinc and benzo(a)pyrene in the soils exceed thesoil cleanup criteria, none of these compound have exceeded theNJGWQS in any ground water samples.

(2) VOC contamination occurs sporadically in the shallow ground waterzone and apparently is not related to on-site activities, since

24Dan Raviv Associates, Inc.Job No. 91C926/D2476/uPORT-l.WP5

TIERRA-B-016014

•

•

•

the VOCs are not found in the on-site soil, sediment or surfacewater samples •

(3) Cadmium, nickel, lead and thallium were detected above theirrespective NJGWQS in the shallow ground water zone.

Cadmium exceeded its 4 ppb NJGWQS in 14 of 18 shallow well samplescollected and analyzed in May and July 1993. The highestconcentration of cadmium was 32 ppb.

Lead exceeded its 10 ppb NJGWQS only one time (May 1993 well MW-lIs at 33 ppb).

The nickel standard of 100 ppb was exceeded in well MW-5s duringboth the May 1993 (213 ppb) and July 1993 (116 ppb, average)samplings.

The thallium standard of 10 ppb Was exceeded during May 1993 inwells MW-2s, MW-I0s and MW-l1s and during July 1993 in wells MW-5s, MW-7s, MW-9s and MW-I0s with a range of 51 to 194 ppb for bothsampling events. The thallium in the shallow perched ground wateris most likely related to the area of thallium contaminationdetected in the location of the sediment core Sed-3 and not on-site manufacturing operations. Core Sed-3 is most likely relatedto historic fill placed on the site in the early 1900's.

(4) Based on the distribution of metal contamination in the shallowperched ground water, only cadmium and thallium demonstrated anysignificant site~ide impacts. Although cadmium occurs widely inthe shallow perched ground water, its concentrations arecomparatively low (maximum i8 32 ppb). Thallium has a smallerarea of distribution in the shallow perched ground water (wellsMW-2s, Mw-5s, MW-7s, MW-9s, Mw-l0s and MW-l1s) but occurs athigher relative concentrations (51 to 194 ppm).

(5) The shallow perched ground water on the KSRC site should not beconsidered a ground water Class II-A aquifer. The remedialinvestigation has demonstrated that this is a perched ground waterlayer of limited areal extent and small saturated thickness underhigh water conditions and completely absent in significant areasof the site under low water conditions. The hydrogeologic andenvironmental significance of this perched ground water zone isvery limited.

10.1.4.2 Deep WellsThe folloWing conclusions can be made from the ground water samples'analytical results obtained from the deep wells:

(1) The deep ground water aquifer samplings demonstrated that arsenic,cadmium and thallium exceeded the NJGWQS.

(2) The arsenic standard of 8 ppb was exceeded only in well MW-4d.The values reported are 16 ppb in May 1993 and 39 ppb in July1993. The adverse impacts from arsenic are restricted to only one

". t '" '$

well (MW-4d) and no ground water arsenic plume is demonstrated.The arsenic impact is localized and has a small areal extent •

(3) Cadmium was detected in excess of its 4 ppb NJGWQS in wells MW-2d(8 ppb in May 1993 and 10 ppb in July 1993) and MW-4d (11 ppb inMay 1993). These concentrations are not considered to be highlysignificant on a regional bas"is.

(4) The thallium NJGWQS of 10 ppb was exceeded in wells MW-2d (65 ppbin May 1993 and 127 ppb in July 1993) and HW-4d (66 ppb in July1993).

10.1.5 Surface WaterThe following conclusions can be made from the surface water samples'analytical results:

(1) The ground water flow in the area of the lagoon demonstrates thatradial flow from the lagoon is occurring. This suggests that thelagoon is actually performing as an infil~~a~ion/percolation ,.lagoon. For comparative purposes, the Class II-A NJGWQS have beenused as a basis to examine the water quality of the surface waterin the lagoon since the water has potential to impact the groundwater in this area.

(2) Based on item (1) above, cadmium and lead exceed the Class II-ANJGWQS in both surface water samples (SW-1 and SW-2) •

(3) The water found in the lagoon is likely adversely impacting theground water quality in the shallow perched zone surrounding thelagoon.

10.2 RecommendationsThe fOllowing recommendations address areas where additional RI actiVities arenecessary for the KSRC site:

(1) The area of thallium contamination in the lagoon sediments andVicinity should be further sampled in order to delineate thesource. About four to six soil borings should be completed andthe soil and/or sediments should be sampled and analyzed forthallium.

(2) Monitoring of both ground water zones should be conductedquarterly for a period of one year to determine if the metalcontamination decreases in both zones. All wells at the KSRC siteshould be sampled and analyzed for PP-M.

(3) The sludge found in the two on-site septic systems pose no threatto the ground water beneath the KSRC property. However, periodiccleaning of the septic systems and disposal of the sludge shouldbe performed on a regular basis. No further sampling isnecessary •

(4) The soil boring installation and analyses performed as part ofthis RI is adequate to delineate the horizontal and vertical

26 Dan Raviv Associates, Inc.Job No. 91C926/D247~/REPORT-l."'P5

TIERRA-B-016016

extent of soil contamination. Therefore, no further soil samplingis recommended for the KSRC site except as noted in item (I)above.

(5) All discharges of process water to the lagoon from the KSRCoperations should be discontinued under a reasonable complianceschedule.
