I. INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of a Five-Year Review (F>YR) is to evaluate the implementation and performance of a remedy to determine if the remedy is and will continue to be protective of human health and the environment. The methods, findings and conclusions of reviews are documented in FYR reports such as this one. In addition, FYR reports identify issues found during the review, if any, and document recommendations to address them.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing this FYR pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 121, consistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 Code of Federal Regulations Section 300.430(f)(4)(ii)), and considering EPA policy.

This is the third FYR for the Old Inger Oil Refinery Superfund site (the Site). The triggering action for this policy review is the completion date of the previous FYR. The FYR has been prepared due to the fact that hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants remain at the Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure (UU/UE).

The Site consists of one operable unit (OU). This FYR addresses this OU - OUl. OUl includes the remedies to address contaminated soil, sludge, surface water, sediment and groundwater at the Site.

EPA remedial project manager (RPM) Bartolome J. Canellas led the FYR. Participants included Todd Thibodeaux of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), and Brice Robertson and Johimy Zimmerman-Ward from Skeo (EPA contractor support). The review began on 3/2/2017.

Site BackgroundThe 19-acre Site is located in a rural area next to a Mississippi River levee, about 4.5 miles north of the town of Darrow in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Louisiana State Highway 75 borders the Site to the northeast and north. The Mississippi River borders the Site to the southwest and south (Figure 1). An oil refinery and waste oil reclamation facility operated on the site property from 1967 to 1978. In 1980, new property owners abandoned the facility due to concerns about the facility’s economic viability. Facility operations resulted in contaminant releases from tank overfilling, discharges to the lagoons and swamps, and burial of drums and construction debris in lagoons. Facility operations resulted in the contamination of soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals.

Land use around the Site is predominantly agricultural, the nearest residence is located 0.3 miles southeast of the Site. The Site is currently vacant. The only remedy features remaining at the Site are the protective clay cap and perimeter security fencing. Following the construction of the remedy, vegetation has reestablished.

The Site is located in the Mississippi River floodplain. The river’s levee system protects the Site from flooding. Surface water at the Site ultimately drains to the east, to Bayou Conway and Bayou Manchac, and then into Lake Maurepas. Site groundwater occurs in four layers. The shallow aquifer occurs at about 6 feet below ground surface (bgs), the intermediate aquifer begins about 45 feet bgs and ranges in thickness from 60 feet to 70 feet, and the alluvial aquifer begins at about 120 feet bgs. The alluvial aquifer is used as a drinking water source near the Site. The bottom layer, the Gonzales Formation, is a major regional drinking water source. Remaining site contamination is limited to the shallow aquifer. Groundwater in the shallow and intermediate aquifers is not used as a drinking water source in the site area. Groundwater flow in the shallow and intermediate aquifers is influenced by the stage level of the Mississippi River. For most of the year, groundwater in these two aquifers flows to the east and away from the river. However, during low stage levels of the Mississippi River, groundwater in the two aquifers flows toward the river (Figure 1).

II. RESPONSE ACTION SUMMARY

Basis for Taking ActionLDEQ completed the Site’s remedial investigation (RI) in 1983. It demonstrated that VOCs had been released to soil and migrated down to the shallow and intermediate aquifers, potentially impacting deeper aquifers used for drinking water purposes. The RI concluded that the greatest exposure potential for people and the environment from hazardous substances at the Site would occur if the Site were to flood and spread contamination over a large area. Table 1 summarizes the primary exposure media and types of contaminants identified at the Site during the RI. Appendix A provides a detailed list of site references. Appendix B provides a chronology of site events.

Phenols

PAHsNotesa From Tables 2 and 3 of the Site’s 1984 Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD did not specify specific

contaminants of concern (COCs). Therefore, only general classes of contamination are listed.______

Response ActionsBetween April 1983 and August 1988, EPA completed five emergency removal actions at the Site. The actions reduced the potential for exposure to and migration of on-site contamination and made site conditions safer for the implementation of long-term remedial activities. These removal actions involved site security, control of the migration of on-site contamination, and excavation, consolidation and containment of soils. EPA listed the Site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1983.

EPA selected the Site’s long-term remedy in the September 1984 Record of Decision (ROD). EPA updated the cleanup plan in the Site’s 1993 and 2006 Explanations of Significant Differences (ESDs). The remedial action objectives (RAOs) identified in the ROD and ESDs included:

• Prevent/minimize the migration of on-site heavily and slightly contaminated surface water.• Prevent/minimize the migration of on-site groundwater in the shallow aquifer.• Prevent/minimize the impact to off-site groundwater in the intermediate and alluvial aquifers.• Prevent/minimize the migration of on-site heavily contaminated soils and sludges.• Prevent/minimize the migration of on-site slightly contaminated soils.

Remedy components selected in the ROD and revised in the ESDs included:

• Carbon adsorption treatment through an on-site wastewater treatment plant and off-site discharge of contaminated fluids (including surface water and groundwater).

• On-site bioremediation through land treatment (land treatment unit) of heavily contaminated soils, sludges and sediments.

• In-place containment and capping of slightly contaminated soils.• Placement of land use restrictions on the Site.

EPA did not specify remediation goals for the bioremediation of contaminated soils, sludges, sediments or oil in the ROD or ESDs. Cleanup goals were established prior to the st£irt of the bioremediation work (Table 2) in the site Remedial Action Plan. The ROD deferred decisions regarding the level of cleanup for the shallow aquifer and the need for cleanup of the intermediate aquifer. The 2006 ESD stated that groundwater sampling data indicated that no further action was necessary to address groundwater in the shallow or intermediate aquifers at the Site. Therefore, cleanup goals were not developed for groundwater. The 1984 ROD specified discharge standards for treated water (Table 3).

Status of ImplementationLDEQ was the lead agency for the final, long-term remedial action at the Site. A Cooperative Agreement between EPA and LDEQ made the remediation effort possible. Remedial action took place between 1986 and 2002. LDEQ completed the remediation in four phases. The first phase included excavation and stockpiling of sludges jfrom the surface impoundments, construction of the land treatment unit, construction of the wastewater treatment plant, and removal and treatment of contaminated liquids from the surface impoundments.

The second and third phases included excavation of contaminated soils, sludges, sediments and oil, processing and placement of the material on the land treatment unit for treatment (e.g., addition of amendments to enhance biodegradation followed by disking and tilling with clean soil) in loose 6-inch lifts, vegetation clearing and grubbing, stormwater management and treatment, handling and disposal of on-site tanks, drums and debris, and site restoration work (e.g., backfilling of excavated areas, placement of a clay cap and topsoil, revegetation, and monitoring well abandonment). Remedial activities addressed material excavated from the surface impoundments during the first phase and additional areas discovered during excavation activities. These areas included the buried waste area, lagoon 1 and the southeast swamp. Additional actions included demolition and removal of all on­site buildings and structures.

Page 15: THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW REPORT - OLD INGER OIL REFINERY

The final phase of remediation involved an evaluation of groundwater conditions following' source removal and treatment. Based on the evaluation, EPA and LDEQ concluded in a 2006 ESD that the shallow groundwater does not present an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment as groundwater studies and sampling events showed that site groundwater met LDEQ Risk Evaluation/Corrective Action Program (RECAP) regulations and requirements. The monitoring wells were abandoned in accordance with State of Louisiana requirements. The Site achieved Construction Completion status on September 12,2006, when EPA issued the Site’s Final Close-Out Report. EPA deleted the Site from the NPL in August 2008.

Institutional Control (IQ ReviewTwo conveyance notices describing the site hazards were recorded in the deed records for the Site. LDEQ filed both notices with the Ascension Parish Clerk of Court, one on August 7,2006, and one on August 17,2006. The notices cover the entire Site. Appendix J provides a copy of the notices from the Ascension Parish Clerk of Court. They state that contaminants (oil and grease) remain at the Site above levels that allow for unrestricted exposure (total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) at less than 5 percent by weight), that a protective cap is in place, and that disturbance of the cap or contaminated portions of the Site may subject the property owner and party causing the disturbance to liability under CERCLA or other laws. In addition, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Pontchartrain Levee Control District have specific requirements for work performed near the levee of the Mississippi River. A permit is required from the Pontchartrain Levee District Board for any work performed within 300 feet of the centerline of the levee. The distance requirement is increased to 1,500 feet for any work involving subsurface work, such as coring or excavation. The Site falls within 300 feet of the centerline of the levee. US ACE reviews all permits prior to approval by the Pontchartrain Levee District.'

Systems Operations/Operation & Maintenance (O&M)There are no operating systems left in place at the Site. No sampling activities are ongoing. LDEQ is currently responsible for O&M activities at the Site. O&M activities required in the Site’s 2008 O&M Plan include regular site inspections, fence repairs, warning sign replacement and erosion control as necessary, and semi-annual mowing. Currently, the Site is only mowed once every five years. Only two site inspections have occurred in the past five years; this reduced fi-equency of mowing and site inspections has not been approved by EPA. At the FYR site inspection in March 2017, fencing was damaged in several places. The tree identified in the 2012 FYR Report as fallen over and resting on site fencing was still there. Signage was present in multiple places on the fence, including the gates. However, some signs were faded and illegible.

III. PROGRESS SINCE THE LAST REVIEWThis section includes the protectiveness determinations and statements from the last FYR as well as the two recommendations associated with O&M from the last FYR and the current status of those recommendations.

The Site has not been mowed semi-annually and the overgrown vegetation prevented a thorough inspection of the cap during site inspections, including the second FYR site inspection. The Site’s May 2008 O&M Plan specifies that mowing and site inspections be conducted on a semi-annual basis to allow for visual inspections of the clay cap, to ensure the integrity of the cover, and to allow an opportunity to note any necessary repairs. Although site inspections have been performed twice yearly, except for 2010 (when only one inspection was documented), the Site has not been mowed semi-

Mowing was scheduled in advance of the site inspection, but not completed due to rain events. LDEQ performed a follow-up site inspection in May 2012 after the Site had been mowed.A portion of the perimeter fence is damaged. The April 2009 site inspection documented that a large tree had fallen across the north perimeter fence (at the northwest comer) and damaged it. This has not yet been repaired. The opening is large enough to allow trespassing, although it is only visible to passers-by during the winter months when vegetation is low, and is not visible from the road at any time.

Complete the northwest comer fence repair. The northwest portion of damaged fence needs to be repaired, per O&M requirements, to help discourage trespass that might impact the cap over time.

LDEQ did not repair the

northwest comer part of the fence during the FYR period. During the 2017 FYR site inspection,

LDEQ Indicated that a lack of

funding delayed fence repairs.

IV. FIVE-YEAR REVIEW PROCESS

Community Notification. Involvement & Site InterviewsA public notice was published in the Gonzales Weekly Citizen newspaper on 3/2/2017. It stated that the FYR was underway and invited the public to submit any comments to EPA (Appendix E). The results of the review and the report will be made available at the Site’s information repositories - the LDEQ Public Records Center (602 North Fifth Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) and Ascension Parish Library (13728 Highway 73, Geismar, LA 70734) - and at EPA Region 6’s offices (1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202).

During the FYR process, interviews were conducted to document any perceived problems or successes with the remedy that has been implemented to date. The results of these interviews are summarized below. Appendix I provides the complete interviews.

The interviewees stated that the remedy is effective and protective of human health and the environment. One resident said he has not seen anything going on at the Site during the past 10 or 15 years.

Data ReviewRemedial action and groundwater monitoring finished in 2005. Therefore, no data were generated during the current FYR period (2012 to 2017).

Site InspectionThe site inspection took place on 3/14/2017. In attendance were EPA RPM Bartolome J. Canellas, Todd Thibodeaux from LDEQ, and Johnny Zimmerman-Ward and Brice Robertson from EPA contractor Skeo. The

Page 20: THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW REPORT - OLD INGER OIL REFINERY

purpose of the inspection was to assess the protectiveness of the remedy. The site inspection checklist is included in Appendix D. Site inspection photographs are included in Appendix F.

Participants discussed site events from the last five years and then walked around the outside of the Site inspecting the fence and signage. Fencing was damaged in multiple places. The tree identified in the 2012 FYR Report as fallen over and resting on site fencing was still there. Signage was present in multiple places on the fence, including the gates. However, some signs were faded and illegible. Signage at the gate on Highway 75 was newer and legible. The Site was being mowed at the time of the site inspection so participants were not able to go much past the gates of the Site. It appeared that some trees were growing on the capped area. The gates were locked and secured upon arrival. Following the site inspection, participants interviewed several nearby residents. Skeo staff visited the Site’s local information repositories. Ascension Parish Library and LDEQ’s office in Baton Rouge. The library contained many past records; the most recent record was the Site’s 2008 deletion docket. LDEQ’s Baton Rouge office also provides access to LDEQ’s online document repository. This electronic resource contained many site documents; the most recent record was the Site’s 2014 Site Inspection Report. The 2012 FYR Report was not available.

V. TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT

QUESTION A: Is the remedy fimctioning as intended by the decision documents?

Question A Summary;

Yes. The remedy is functioning as intended by the decision documents because contaminated sediment, sludge and soil were excavated and treated in the on-site land treatment unit, treated material was disposed of on site, a clay cap was placed over treated soil and waste, and the Site was revegetated. Lagoon water was treated and discharged through a permitted discharge. Eight rounds of quarterly monitoring demonstrated that no further action was required for groundwater. Institutional controls were put in place in 2006 in the form of two conveyance notices. They provide notice of site cleanup and contamination remaining on site, and protect the integrity of the clay cap. In addition, the USAGE and Pontchartrain Levee Control District have specific requirements for work performed near the levee of the Mississippi River. A permit is required from the Pontchartrain Levee District Board for any work performed within 300 feet of the centerline of the levee. The distance requirement is increased to 1,500 feet for any work involving subsurface work, such as coring or excavation. The Site falls within 300 feet of the centerline of the levee.

O&M activities required at the Site are semi-annual site visits for mowing, cap inspections and maintenance as necessary, and perimeter fence inspection and repair as necessary. At the time of the third FYR site inspection in March 2017, fencing was damaged in several places. The tree identified in the 2012 FYR Report as fallen over and resting on site fencing was still there. Signage was present in multiple places on the fence, including the gates However, some signs were faded and illegible. The Site was mowed in March 2017. Most of the Site was not able to be inspected during the FYR site inspection as mowing was occurring on the day of the inspection. Prior to that, mowing had not occurred since the previous FYR. Only two site inspections have occurred in the past five years; this reduced frequency of mowing and site inspections has not been approved by EPA.

QUESTION B; Are the exposure assumptions, toxicity data, cleanup levels and RAOs used at the time of the remedy selection still valid?

Question B Summary:There have been no changes in human health or ecological exposure pathways and no new contaminants or routes of exposure have been identified for the Site as part of this FYR. Site RAOs remain valid. Soil cleanup goals were reviewed. Based on a screening-level risk evaluation (Appendix H), the cleanup goals remain valid. See Appendix G for a detailed Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) review.

QUESTION C: Has any other information come to light that could call into question the protectiveness of the remedy?

No new information has come to light that could call into question the protectiveness of the remedy.

Several additional recommendations were identified during the FYR. These recommendations do not affect current and/or future protectiveness.

• Ensure the Site’s document repositories contain copies of the most recent FYR Report.• Repair the perimeter fence, improve signage legibility, and perform mowing and removal of trees as

described in the Site’s 2008 O&M Plan.• Take pictures of the Site and send to EPA to confirm that mowing and tree removal were performed.

VII. PROTECTIVENESS STATEMENT

ProlectiveiK'ss StatciiiciilOperable Unit. Protectiveness Determination.OUl Protective

Protectiveness Statement:The remedy at OUl is protective of human health and the environment because surface water from on­site impoundments was treated and disposed of off-site, heavily contaminated soils and sludge were bioremediated and then contained and capped on site, and institutional controls have been put in place. Monitoring demonstrated that groundwater does not require any response action. In addition, institutional controls have been put in place.

Old Inger Oil Refinery Superfund Site Public Notice

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6

March 2017 DEQLOUISIANA^

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 (EPA) will be conducting the third five-year review of remedy implementation and performance at the Old Inger Oil Refinery Superfund site (Site) in Darrow, Louisiana. From 1967 until 1978, an oil refinery and waste oil reclamation facility operated on site Improper waste oil disposal activities contaminated soil, sediments, sludges, groundwater and surface water with hazardous chemicals.

The vacant Site is located in a predominantly rural area between Highway 75 and the Mississippi River. The sitewide remedy, selected by EPA in 1984, included the closing and sealing of an on-site ungrouted well; carbon adsorption treatment; in-place treatment, containment and capping of heavily contaminated soils, land use restrictions; and groundwater monitoring. Follovring cleanup, EPA took the Site off the National Priorities List in August 2008. The five-year review will determine if the

remedies are still protective of human health and the environment. The five-year review is scheduled for completion in August 2017.

The report will be made available to the public at the following local information repository:

Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Public Records Center

APPENDIX G - DETAILED ARARs REVIEW

CERCLA Section 121(d)(1) requires that Superfund remedial actions attain “a degree of cleanup of hazardous substance, pollutants, and contaminants released into the environment and of control of further release at a minimum which assures protection of human health and the environment.” The remedial action must achieve a level of cleanup that at least attains those requirements that are legally applicable or relevant and appropriate. In performing the FYR for compliance with ARARs, only those ARARs that address the protectiveness of the remedy are reviewed.

Groundwater ARARsThe 1984 ROD and 1993 and 2006 ESDs did not identify chemical-specific ARARs for the Site’s groundwater, as COCs were not identified.

Soil, Sediment and Sludge ARARsThe 1984 ROD and 1993 and 2006 ESDs did not identify chemical-specific ARARs for the Site’s COCs in soil, sediment or sludge.

Surface Water ARARsThe 1984 ROD and 1993 and 2006 ESDs identified LDEQ discharge standards, as established under the technical and substantive requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and the Clean Water Act, which is regulated at 40 Code of Federal Regulations 122 and 125. However, there are no longer any operating systems in place at the Site. Thus, an evaluation of NPDES discharge limits is not warranted in this FYR.

Page 39: THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW REPORT - OLD INGER OIL REFINERY

APPENDIX H - DETAILED TOXICITY REVIEW

EPA did not specify remediation goals for the bioremediation of the contaminated soils, sludges and sediments in the Site’s ROD or ESDs. Cleanup goals were established prior to the start of the bioremediation work and are provided in Table H-1. During bioremediation of contaminated soil, sludges and sediments, sampling of each lift placed on the land treatment unit confirmed that cleanup levels were being met. A screening-level risk evaluation based on EPA’s industrial regional screening levels (RSLs) for soil was performed on the COCs to determine if the cleanup goals were protective for direct exposure based on the current and future industrial use of the site property. As shown in Table H-1, the cleanup goals represent concentrations that fall within EPA’s acceptable risk range of 1 x lO"^ to 1 x lO"® or are below the noncancer hazard quotient (HQ) threshold of 1.0. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the cleanup goals remain valid.
