1.0 INTRODUCTION

At the request of the Environmental Protection Agency, Tetra Tech NUS, Inc. (TtNUS) prepared

this Building Evaluation and Sampling Data Memorandum that summarizes some of the field

investigation activities conducted during May and June 1998 by TtNUS at the Eastern Surplus

Company Site, located in Meddybemps, Maine. This memorandum:

• Summarizes an evaluation of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) presence in

the block building (located at the southern end of the site) and in the abandoned residence

(located in the northern end of the site).

• Provides an inventory of contents within the block building.

• Presents the analytical results of samples collected from the block building's concrete

walls and concrete floor slab, and from the abandoned residence.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide written documentation and analytical results to

the site team for informational purposes.

This work was performed under Contract No. 68-W6-0045, Work Assignment

No. 015-RICO-0189.

Field investigations and environmental sampling were performed by TtNUS to support the

Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) and to provide data that may be used to

support the planned Non-Time-Critical Removal Action for the site. The objectives, technical

approach, and procedures for the field investigations and sampling are detailed in the Sampling

and Analysis Plan, Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (TtNUS, June 1998).

Section 2 evaluates potential ACM presence in the three on-site structures (block building, the

hydroelectric building, and the abandoned residence). This evaluation does not constitute a

formal asbestos survey. Instead, this evaluation was conducted to preliminarily identify

RI98226D -1- Eastern Surplus, ME

DRAFT

components of the on-site structure that may need to be addressed as part of subsequent

response (either removal or remedial) actions.

Section 3 provides an inventory of items present in the first floor of the block building. The

inventory was prepared to provide information regarding the presence of chemicals and

potential presence of hazardous materials that would be useful in evaluating, planning, and

implementing subsequent response (either removal or remedial) actions.

Section 4 summarizes the analytical results of samples collected from the block building and

from the abandoned residence. The data will be used to evaluate whether chemicals or

contaminants are present, and to provide information that would be useful in evaluating,

planning, and implementing subsequent response (either removal or remedial) actions.

2.0 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL EVALUATION

As part of the on-going RI/FS for the Eastern Surplus Company Site, an evaluation for potential

ACM presence in the three on-site structures (block building, the hydroelectric building, and the

abandoned residence) was performed on May 21, 1998 by a TtNUS staff member. The

purpose of the evaluation was to preliminarily identify components of the three on-site

structures that potentially have ACM and may need to be addressed as part of future response

(either removal or remedial) actions.

This evaluation does not constitute a formal asbestos survey. Instead, a licensed asbestos

inspector certified in the State of Maine should be consulted to identify and to sample (as

appropriate) specimens from the on-site structures. Should abatement be necessary as part of

future site response activities, then the State of Maine's Chapter 425, Asbestos Management

Regulations, will need to be met.

At the time of the building and house evaluation, the structures were noted to be unsound

and full of debris such that a full evaluation could not be conducted. However, all

pertinent observations and findings are summarized as follow:


DRAFT

Hydroelectric Building - The hydroelectric building is a wood-frame structure constructed

on a poured concrete foundation that spans the Dennys River, and appears to be attached

to the block building. This building still houses electrical generation equipment and other

assorted objects. This structure could not be entered because the access through the

block building into the hydroelectric building's entrance had collapsed. The only apparent

entry is through a second story window. Materials observed during this evaluation that

were suspected to contain ACM included:

• Asphalt roofing shingles

• Asphalt sheeting covering the wood siding

If roofing underlayment is present, it may contain ACM.

Block Building - This structure, situated at the southern end of the site, consists of a two-

story cement block building with a peaked wood frame roof. The first floor of this building

was entered and inspected thoroughly. The second story (attic) could not be accessed

because the stairway is no longer present. A part of the second story could be viewed

from the first floor through the opening in the ceiling, and from the second story. The

second story is partially finished with gypsum board and insulated with glassfiber

insulation. Materials seen during this evaluation that were suspected to contain ACM

included:


• Insulation above the ceiling of the first floor

If roofing underlayment is present, it may contain ACM.

Abandoned Residence - This two story wood-framed structure is constructed on concrete

coatings and is located at the northern end of the site. This structure appears to be

unsound and was not entered, although the interior of the first floor was easily visible


DRAFT

through windows on all sides of the structure. Materials seen during this inspection that

were suspected to contain ACM included:


• Asphalt sheeting covering the wood siding

• Paper underlayment under the asphalt sheeting (second floor only)

• Pressboard interior walls and ceiling

Field sketches and notes are presented in Appendix A. Samples of material should be

collected in accordance with applicable state and federal requirements, and analyzed for

asbestos by polarized light microscopy (NIOSH Method 7400). These activities will need

to be conducted prior to the planned demolition and disposal of the buildings under the

NTCRA.

3.0 INVENTORY OF BLOCK BUILDING CONTENTS

As part of the ongoing Rl, on June 19,1998, TtNUS prepared an inventory of items and objects

present in the first floor of the block building. The inventory provides information concerning

objects, chemicals, and potential presence of hazardous materials that would be useful in

evaluating, planning, and implementing subsequent response (either removal or remedial)

actions. Items that were readily accessible were counted during the inventory; TtNUS

personnel did not turn over the several large debris piles situated near the doors of the block

building to identify all possible objects. Numerous items were not identified because of

inaccessibility, or because they were not discerned in the poorly lit interior of the block building.

This inventory does not include any objects from the second story because the upper level was

not accessible.

Five display tables are present in the first floor. Shelving lines the northern, western, and

southern walls. A variety of objects are stored on the shelving units, on and under the display

tables, and strewn throughout the aisles and the front portion of the block building. Figure 1


DRAFT

depicts the approximate layout of the display tables and the debris piles in the building's

interior. The listing of building contents is provided in Appendix B.

Items that may need to be addressed during future response actions identified during the

inventory include:

• Small electrical components (potentially containing mercury, dielectric fluid potentially

containing PCBs).

• Fluorescent bulbs (potentially containing mercury vapor).

• Insecticide powder (pesticides).

• Electric capacitors and transformers (dielectric fluid potentially containing PCBs).

• Numerous 1-gallon cans containing solvent-based paints, varnish, etc.

• Containers of degreasers and cleaners.

• Hydraulic, transmission, and brake fluids.

• Unidentifiable containers that appear to be corroded and have leaked.

• Greases and lubricants.

• Three General Electric transformers containing Pyranol (dielectric fluid with PCBs).

• Containers that are not identifiable.

4.0 BUILDING AND ON-SITE RESIDENCE SAMPLING

As part of the building characterization, samples of materials used to construct the block

building and the residence were collected and sent for chemical analyses to determine whether

the materials contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead,

mercury, etc.). This information was crucial in assessing future response actions for the

on-site structures as well as determining the acceptability of demolition debris at various off-

site disposal facilities that accept solid waste, or materials regulated under the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act, or PCB-containing materials regulated under the Toxic

Substances Control Act.


DRAFT

Samples were obtained from: the block building exterior, because it was coated with a "skim

coat" of cement; the block building's interior concrete walls (which were uncoated), and the

building's concrete floor slab. These six samples were sent to a Delivery of Analytical Services

(DAS) laboratory and analyzed for metals and pesticides/PCBs. To determine whether the

building materials may be considered hazardous through the toxicity characteristic, samples

were also tested using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), EPA SW-846,

Method 1311 and the extract was analyzed for metals.

One sample from the residence's wallboard was collected and analyzed for metals and PCBs.

The wallboard was covered with painted wallpaper.

The original scope of the Rl included sampling and analysis of construction materials from the

block building and the abandoned residence for friable asbestos. However, prior to initiating

the field investigation program, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection informed

TtNUS and EPA that asbestos inspections and sampling needed to be performed by licensed

professionals. Given the limited project schedule, it was decided that the formal asbestos

sampling and analysis would be deferred. Therefore, no samples of roofing or siding materials

were collected for asbestos analysis.

Figure 1 depicts the approximate block building locations from which the concrete samples

were obtained. A sample collection summary is presented in Table C-1 of Appendix C. Metals

and pesticide/PCB analytical results for the block building and residence samples are presented

in Table C-2 of Appendix C. The TCLP/metal results analytical results presented in Appendix C

are unvalidated for block building and residence samples are presented in Table C-3.

Block Building Results

Review of the analytical results (Table C-2) indicates that a number of metals were detected in

the block building's concrete walls and floor slab. The metals detected include arsenic, barium,

cadmium, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, vanadium, and

zinc. Lead was not detected in these samples. Analyses of the extract from the TCLP indicate


DRAFT

that none of the metal concentrations detected exceeded the toxicity limits defined under 40

CFR 261.24, which is used to determine whether a substance is hazardous by the toxicity

characteristic. Therefore, based on these analytical results, the block building's concrete walls

and floor slab may be considered nonhazardous.

PCBs were detected only in one wall sample (430 ug/kg) and in all three floor slab samples (44

- 560 mg/kg). A few pesticides were detected in both the walls and the floor slabs at low

levels. None of the detected pesticides is included in the 40 CFR 261.24 list of chemicals that

potentially are hazardous through the toxicity characteristic.

Abandoned Residence Results

Review of the one set of analytical results for the house (Table C-2) indicates that a

number of metals were detected in the wallboard/painted wallpaper, similar to those

detected in the block building. However, several metals were detected in the wallboard

sample at concentrations much greater than those detected in the block building samples

including: barium, cadmium, chromium, and zinc. Lead was detected in this sample. Metal

analysis of the extract from the TCLP (Table C-3) indicate that none of the metal

concentrations detected exceeded the toxicity limits defined under 40 CFR 261.24.

PCBs were detected at 690 ug/kg, which is higher than concentrations detected in the block

building samples. Several pesticides were detected in the house sample, at concentrations that

were one to two orders of magnitude higher than detected in the block building samples.

Methoychlor was detected at 1700 ug/kg; this pesticide concentration will not cause

exceedance of the 40 CFR 261.24 limit if the sample were to be subjected to the TCLP

analyses (based on the "divide by 20 rule" to estimate the theoretical maximum extract

concentration from the TCLP). Based on the analytical results, the wallboard from the

abandoned residence may be considered nonhazardous.
