EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES for the

Atlantic Wood Industries, Inc. Superfund Site

I. INTRODUCTION

Site Name: Atlantic Wood Industries, Inc. Superfund Site

Site Location: Portsmouth, Virginia

Lead Agency: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III ("EPA")

Support Agency: Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("VADEQ")

II. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

On December 21, 2007, EPA issued a Record of Decision ("2007 ROD"). The 2007 ROD selected the cleanup for ground water (Operable Unit ["OU"] 2) and sediment ("OU3") and amended the clean up for soils and dense non-aqueous phase liquid ("DNAPL") contamination ("OUl"). EPA had previously issued a ROD for soils and DNAPL m 1995. The 2007 ROD estimated the cleanup would cost $44.9 million. During the cleanup design, EPA determined the amount of soil requiring treatment and the volume of sediment requiring dredging were significantly greater than estimated in 2007. As a result, the cost of the cleanup will increase. EPA now estimates that the cleanup will cost approximately $98.2 million.

EPA is issuing this Explanation of Significant Differences ("ESD") to formally document and communicate this cost increase and to provide information as to the location of the off- shore sheet pile wall in the Elizabeth River (the greater the volume of sediments that require dredging, the further from shore the wall must be located). EPA is issuing this ESD in accordance with Section 117(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. § 9617(c), and Section 300.435(c)(2)(i) of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan ("NCP"), 40 C.F.R. § 300.435(c)(2)(i). Section 117(c) of CERCLA and Section 300.43 5(c)(2)(i) of the NCP require the publication of an explanation of significant differences when modifications to the remedial action selected in a Record of Decision are necessary, and such modifications significantly change, but do not fundamentally alter, the remedial action with respect to scope, performance, or cost. Since the cleanup activities are not changing, EPA considers the cost increase to be a significant change but not a fundamental change.

This ESD and all documents that form the basis for the decision to modify the remedial action are being added to the Administrative Record file for Atlantic Wood Industries Superfund Site in accordance with Section 300'.825(a)(2) of the NCP, 40 C.F.R. § 300.825(a)(2). The Administrative Record file is available for public review at the locations listed in Section VIII of the ESD.

III. SITE HISTORY AND SITE CONDITIONS

The Atlantic Wood Industries, Inc. Superfund Site ("site") is generally located south of Elm Avenue (Virginia Highway 337) adjacent to and in the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth, Virginia. The site includes approximately 48 acres of land with contaminated soil on the industrialized waterfront and approximately 35 acres of contaminated sediment in the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. From 1926 to 1992, AWI operated a creosote and pentachlorophenol wood treatment facility at the site. The land portion of the site is surrounded by the Norfolk Naval Shipyard ("NNSY"), the operations center for the Portsmouth Public School District, and several other small industrial properties. The contaminated sediments area generally extends from the Atlantic Wood Industries ("AWI") facility east to the navigational channel, north to the eastern-most part of the PER Properties land (formerly owned by the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission) and south to Pier B of to the Southgate Annex of the NNSY. The site also includes contaminated ground water that has mostly remained underneath the former wood treatment facility.

The AWI facility operations included wood treatment, storage of wood, and disposal of wastes, which led to the contamination of the site. As a result of historical site operations, sediments in the Elizabeth River contain visible creosote. The ground water and soil at the site are also heavily contaminated with creosote. Creosote contamination previously migrated into a storm sewer and discharged to an inlet of the Elizabeth River at the northeast corner of the site near the former Jordan Bridge.

A significant portion of the western half of the AWI facility was leased to the Navy during World War II. The Navy filled low lying areas of the property to use the property as a storage area. The Navy also conducted sand blasting activities adjacent to the AWI property. Due to these activities, the site is contaminated with heavy metals such as copper, zinc, lead and arsenic. The Navy produced acetylene at the NNSY and pumped a calcium hydroxide waste stream across the site and discharged it in a wetland that straddled the property line between the NNSY and the AWI facility.

During the 1980s EPA assessed the site and determined that the site qualified for detailed evaluation and, if necessary, cleanup by EPA's Superfund program. In 1990, the site was formally added to the National Priorities List, which is the list of national priorities among the known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States and its territories.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED REMEDY AND REMEDY IMPLEMENTATION

A. Selected Remedv

EPA's selected remedy described in the 2007 ROD addresses risks to human health and the environment from soil, ground water, and sediment contamination. The main components of

Page 2 AR302179

Page 3: iiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SDMS DocID

the selected remedy include: 1) a clean soil cover over the areas of contaminated soil; 2) stabilization of DNAPL-soaked soils on the west side of the site; 3) monitored natural attenuation (natural cleaning) of ground water; 4) installation of a sealed sheet pile wall off-shore in the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River to prevent creosote migration to the river; 5) dredging of contaminated river sediments beyond the wall with consolidation of the dredged sediments mainly behind the sheet pile wall (creating new land) and also on the west side of the site in a landfill; 6) enhanced monitored natural recovery (natural cleaning) of sediments; 7) creation of wetlands to replace wetlands lost due to sediment consolidation behind the wall; and 8) institutional controls to further protect the public and the environment over time.

B. Remedv Implementation

In early 2008, EPA began the detailed design for the cleanup. Construction started in 2010, about one year earlier than expected, due to $3.7 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) being designated for the site. These funds have been used to construct part of a landfill berm and a berm along the banks of the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River that, along with the off-shore sheet pile wall, will hold the dredged sediments.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has started construction on the off-shore sheet pile wall. The USACE awarded McLean Contracting, a local marine construction firm, an $18.5 million contract for this work. The wall is scheduled for completion in January 2013. The USACE recently awarded a contract for the DNAPL stabilization work, which is scheduled to start late this summer or early fall.

The design for the dredging of the contaminated sediments is underway and will be completed in the fall of 2012 with dredging expected to start in 2013 following the completion of the off-shore wall.

FIGG Bridge is building the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge across the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. The bridge goes through the site and FIGG is conducting a portion of the cleanup on the property it purchased to construct the bridge. This bridge is replacing the former Jordan Bridge.

V. DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AND THE BASIS FOR SUCH DIFFERENCES

The increase in the estimated cost of the cleanup is mainly due to two things: 1) a significant increase in the volume of contaminated sediments in the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River that require dredging compared to the estimated volume in the 2007 ROD; and 2) a significant increase in the volume of DNAPL-soaked soils that require remediation compared to the estimated volume in the 2007 ROD.

Figure 1 (Figure 29 from the 2007 ROD, see attached) shows the area of the river that the 2007 ROD estimated required cleanup. The darker orange area of the river was the area estimated to require dredging. With respect to the enhanced sheet pile wall, the ROD set forth an

Page 3 AR302180

Page 4: iiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SDMS DocID

approximate location at Paragraph 11.2, Description of the Selected Remedy, and Figure 29. The ROD noted, however, that the exact location of the off-shore sheet wall was to be identified in the remedial design and subject to EPA approval. During the cleanup design, additional samples were collected to finalize the area and depth of sediments that required cleanup. Samples collected before the ROD were collected with 20-foot long core samplers, which in some locations did not go deep enough to find the bottom of the contamination. During the design, 30-foot long core samplers were used, which were able to reach the bottom of the contamination. To the area north and east of the AWI facility, EPA attempted to more finely define the extent of the cleanup expecting that it might decrease in area. Additional sampling in these areas showed the previous investigation had accurately determined the edge of the cleanup.

To the south of the AWI facility at the Southgate Annex of the NNSY, additional sampling was necessary because there was only limited sampling in this area during the remedial investigation ("RI") before the 2007 ROD. During part of the RI, the Navy had plans to dredge this area and the contamination found by EPA had a distinct petroleum odor and was attributed to oil from ships rather than polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons ("PAHs") from creosote. Later in the remedial investigation and feasibility study ("RI/FS") process, the Navy decided not to follow through with its plans to dredge the Southgate Annex, and it provided a detailed analysis to EPA showing that there was creosote contamination in the area of the Southgate Annex. Additional sampling at the Southgate Annex during the cleanup design showed that a larger area of the Annex had been impacted by the AWI operation than originally estimated. A large portion of the increase in sediment volume is due to the sediments at the Southgate Annex. High levels of metals were also found in this same area.

Based on the RI and design sampling, Figure 2 shows the revised area of the river that must be remediated. In the 2007 ROD, the anticipated location of the off-shore sheet wall was situated in a way that would provide the volume necessary, when coupled with the landfill on the west side of the facility, to consolidate the amount of sediments outside the wall that would be dredged. With the significant increase in volume of sediments requiring remediation, the wall location was moved further east (see Figure 2) to accommodate the increase in volume of sediments that required dredging and consolidation. The 2007 ROD estimated that 155,000 cubic yards of sediment required dredging. Based on new samples collected during the design, EPA now estimates that 315,000 cubic yards of sediment must be dredged. The estimated cost of the river cleanup has increased with both the longer and higher off-shore sheet pile wall and the increase in volume of sediments that must be dredged.

The 2007 ROD estimated that 7,200 cubic yards of creosote and PCP-soaked soils in the southwest portion of the site adjacent to the operations center of the Portsmouth Public School District required excavation or treatment in place. Detailed sampling during the design showed that the volume was actually 45,000 cubic yards. Due to the difficulty with excavating soil so deep and near the operations center buildings, coupled with the lack of area to put any excavated soil because of the increase in volume of sediments requiring dredging, EPA will treat the soil in place in accordance with the 2007 ROD.

Table 1 shows the detailed cost estimate from the 2007 ROD. Table 2 shows the new cost estimate. The new cost estimate takes into account the volume increases mentioned above

Page 4 AR302181

Page 5: iiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SDMS DocID

and the known costs from work that has been or is currently on-going. The new cost estimate for the cleanup outlined in the 2007 ROD is $98.2 million.

Since the cost increase is due to increases in the volume of contamination, yet the actual cleanup activities remain those outlined in the 2007 ROD, it is appropriate to update the estimated cost of the 2007 ROD with this ESD since the modification does not fundamentally alter the cleanup plan with respect to scope, performance, or cost. Each of the alternatives in the 2007 ROD would have seen a significant cost increase due to the increase in volume of sediments (for those alternatives that contained dredging) or increase in areal extent of contaminated sediments (for those alternatives that included sub-aqueous caps).

With respect to the enhanced sheet pile wall. Figure 2 (attached) shows the final location of the wall, in comparison to the approximate location of the wall depicted in the 2007 ROD. Property owners in this area have been provided with notice of the final location, and opportunity to comment. They have been supportive of the final location.

VI. SUPPORT AGENCY COMMENTS

In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 300.435(c)(2), EPA has consulted with VADEQ concerning the change to the 2007 ROD as described in this ESD. VADEQ supports the change set forth herein and submitted its concurrence on this ESD to EPA in a letter dated June 26, 2012.

VII. STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS

EPA has determined that the selected remedy set forth in the 2007 ROD, as modified by this ESD, complies with the statutory requirements of Section 121 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9621. EPA believes that the selected remedy set forth m the 2007 ROD, as revised by this ESD, remains protective of human health and the environment, meets the Federal and State requirements that are applicable or relevant and appropriate to the remedial action in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 300.430(f)(l)(ii)(B), and is cost effective. In addition, the modified remedy uses permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the maximum extent practicable for the site.

VIII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

In accordance with Section 300.825(a)(2) of the NCP, 40 C.F.R. § 300.825(a)(2), this ESD and all documents that form the basis for the decision to modify the remedy are being added to the Administrative Record file for the site.

Pursuant to Section 117(c) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9617(c), and Section 300.435(c)(2)(i)(B) of the NCP, 40 C.F.R. § 300.435(c)(2)(i)(B), EPA will publish a notice summarizing this ESD, including the reasons for the change to the selected remedy, and informing the public of its availability in Virginian-Pilot published in the Tidewater area of Virginia, which includes the City of Portsmouth and other communities near the site.

Many of the stakeholders have known even as early as December 2009, as a result of a meeting of the Sediment Remediation Partnership of the Elizabeth River Project, that the volume of contaminated sediments increased significantly. During this meeting, at which various stakeholders, including adjacent property owners. State agencies, and the Navy, are typically attendees, EPA provided information as to the increase in sediment volume and a new off-shore sheet wall location. As a result of comments received by EPA during the December 2009

Pages AR302183

Page 7: iiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SDMS DocID

meeting, and in an effort to minimize the amount of river filling, EPA further refined the location of the proposed off-shore sheet wall. Since December 2009, EPA has continued to provide information to stakeholders about the location of the off-shore sheet wall and has made available interim designs of the wall. EPA also has communicated with adjacent property owners in order to discuss and respond to these owners' questions and interests with regard to the off-shore sheet wall location. In addition, EPA has communicated to stakeholders since at least as early as May 2010 that the estimated cost of the cleanup was going to be over $100 million.

IX. SIGNATURE

This ESD modifies the selected remedy set forth in the 2007 ROD for the Atlantic Wood Industries, Inc. Superfund site to address the cost increase associated with the increase in the volume of contaminated sediment requiring dredging and the volume of DNAPL-soaked soil requiring treatment.
