1.0 INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 has conducted the third five-year review of

the remedial action (RA) implemented at the Cleve Reber Superfund Site (site) in Ascension Parish,

Louisiana. The purpose of this third five-year review was to determine whether the selected remedy for

the site continues to protect human health and the environment.

A site inspection was conducted to verity that all components ofthe remedies are operating in

accordance with criteria established in the Record of Decision (ROD). This report summarizes the

results ofthe site inspection.

2.0 BACKGROUND SUMMARY

The site was originally used as a borrow pit for fill material used in the construction of Highway 70 and

the Sunshine Bridge. After the bridge and highway were completed, the site was used as a disposal area

for municipal waste. The site also accepted industrial waste from chemical plants located in the

Ascension Parish area. A Louisiana court ordered the site to stop receiving waste in 1974; the site was

abandoned later that same year. EPA conducled an emergency cleanup in 1983 and removed

numerous drums and surface piles. A temporary cap was put over the former landfill area to prevent

infiltration of surface water. Surface soil and surface water samples collected during a remedial

investigation al the site showed elevated levels of chlorinated organic compounds.

In March 1987, EPA signed a ROD outlining the following selected remedy for the site:

(1) excavation of contaminated soil, industrial wastes, and drums; (2) incineration of contaminated

soil using a transportable incineration system; (3) draining of on-site ponds and treatment of

pond water; (4) backfilling of drained ponds using ash from incinerated soil and clean backfill;

(5) ground water monitoring; (6) placement of a cap over the landfill; and (7) post-closure care

and monitoring for 30 years. RA activities began in September 1993 and were completed in

May 1996. The site was deleted from the National Priorities List in December 1997.

Semi-annual operation and maintenance (O&M) and ground water monitoring is currently being

performed. Ground water samples are being analyzed for the following contaminants of concern (COCs):

carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroelhane, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroelhane.

Page 3: THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW SITE INSPECTION REPORT CLEVE … · 1. O&M Site Manager Carleton Degges Environmental Remediation Manager. Vulcan Materials Name Title Interviewed: ^ by mail

hexachlorocyclopentadiene, and mercury. Since routine ground water monitoring began, concentrations

ofthe COCs listed above have consistently been below the maximum contaminant levels.

3.0 SITE INSPECTION ACTIVITIES

On July 15, 2008, a site inspection was conducted to assess the condition ofthe site and the protective

measures employed to protect human health and the environment from the contaminants still present al the

site. The inspection evaluated the condition ofthe monitoring wells, condition ofthe landfill cap,

postings, and site fencing, f̂he weather conditions during the inspection were sunny and humid with

temperatures in the mid-90s.

The following individuals attended the site inspection:

Bart Cafiellas, EPA Regina Philson, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) Kim Wallace-Wymore, EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc. Carleton Degges, Vulcan Materials Company, Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) Representative Scott Bergeron, Professional Technical Support Services, Inc. (Protech), PRP contractor

Cap

The landfill cap appeared to be in good condition al the lime ofthe site inspection. The grass cover

has been established on the cap. No cracking, settlement, or holes were observed in the cap. The

PRP contractor, Protech, stated that any animal burrows observed are plugged with bentonite to

prevent damage to the cap. Protech also recently repaired minor surface water erosion on the cap lo

the east ofthe gas vent system (Photograph 15). The site was mowed, clean, and appeared well

maintained.

Gas Vent System

The site is equipped with a passive gas vent system. A total of 21 vent units are located on the

landfill cap. The gas vent system was upgraded by the PRP to a carbon vent system in 2008. The

new vent units are constructed of polyvinyl chloride and contain activated carbon, which can be

easily removed and replaced as needed (Photographs 7 and 9). The vent units are protected by

wooden guard posts lo prevent damage by lawn mowing equipment.

Monitoring Wells

Ail monitoring wells were visually inspected and appeared in good condition. The monitoring wells

were clearly labeled and securely encased (lock and cover). Drums of purge water associated with

PRP ground water sampling were staged beside each monitoring well pending disposal

(Photograph 11). The inspection team observed two additional 55-gallon drums stored adjacent to

monitoring well P-22, which were associated wilh the 2005 Hurricane Katrina Response sampling

activities conducted by EPA (Photograph 14).

Fence

The site is secured by a chain-link perimeter fence with barbed wire on top. Warning signs are posted at

various locations along the northern, southem, eastern, and western property boundaries. A warning sign

is also posted at the entrance gale (Photograph 2). The entrance gate is closed and locked when the site is

unattended. During the site inspection, the perimeter fence was inspected for damage. The inspection

team observed damage to the perimeter fence along the southern property line caused by a fallen tree on

the adjacent property (Photograph 4). The fence is still standing, bul is leaning inward.

Resident Interviews

After the site inspection was completed, the inspecfion leam visited three residences located to the north

ofthe site lo determine if the residents had any comments or questions concerning the RA at the site.

One ofthe residents, Ms. Renee Theriot, was home at the lime and completed a site survey. Ms. Theriot

stated that she had no concerns or complaints regarding the RA. She also stated that she would leave a

copy ofthe survey form and postage-paid envelopes for the other two nearby residents. Interview

questionnaires will be included in the Five-Year Review Report.

Land Reuse

As stated in the deed notice, the EPA, the State of Louisiana, and the PRP have a Grant of Servitude

from the property owner, Mr. Vernon Schexnaydre, to perfonn the required RA acfivities at the site.

The PRP has the right to access the site and to take any "action deemed necessary to remediate the

environmental condilions in, on, under, and around the property". The property owner is not allowed lo

"interfere with any remediation facilities occurring on the properly" or "grant any hunting or other

rights to third parties to enter or use the property". The property owner had indicated interest in reusing

the property to EPA and the PRP. The PRP is currently discussing options for reuse ofthe property

with the property owner. The EPA has stated that any reuse ofthe land is not allowed to disturb the cap

Page 5: THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW SITE INSPECTION REPORT CLEVE … · 1. O&M Site Manager Carleton Degges Environmental Remediation Manager. Vulcan Materials Name Title Interviewed: ^ by mail

or the O&M activities conducted by the PRP. Any change in land use requires approval by the EPA and

LDEQ.

4.0 FINDINGS

The following issues were identified during the site inspection:

The inspection leam observed damage to the perimeter fence along the southern property line caused by a fallen tree on the adjacent properly (Photograph 4). The fence is still standing, but is leaning inward. This issue should be addressed, but it does nol affect the protcctiveness ofthe remedy because the cap is functioning as intended.

The properly owner has indicated an interest in reuse ofthe property and is currently discussing opfions for land use with the PRP, EPA, and LDEQ. To ensure that the current protcctiveness ofthe remedy is nol affected, EPA has stated that any reuse ofthe property cannot disturb the integrity ofthe cap and cannot interfere with the O&M activities conducled by the PRP.

XI. OVERALL OBSERVATIONS

A. Implementation ofthe Remedy

Describe issues and observations relating to whether the remedy is effective and iunctioning as designed. Begin with a brief staiement of what the remedy is to accomplish (i.e., to contain contaminant plume, minimize infilttation and gas emission, etc.). The purpose ofthe remedy was lo (1) eliminate the potential of unauthorized personnel to come in contact with site contaminants; (2) reduce the polenfial for future migration of contaminants to shallow ground water; and (3) eliminate the potential contamination of aquatic organisms. Based on the observations made during the site inspection, the remedy appears lo be effective and functioning as designed.

B. Adequacy of O&M

There were no O&M issues identified during the site visit. O&M appears to be adequate. The site was mowed. clean, and appeared well maintained.

C. Early Indicators of Potential Remedy FaUure

None identified.

D. Opportunities for Optimization

Describe possible opportunities for optimization in monitoring tasks or the operation ofthe remedy. Gas vent system was recently upgraded by the PRP.
