Section 7a Compliance Analysis

For the Former Trenton Chemical Facility at Jefferson Avenue in Trenton, Michigan

Requested in Conjunction with a Baseline Environmental Assessment

Section 7a(1) of Part 201, Act 451 (1994 PA, as amended) provides that a person who owns or operates property that he/she has knowledge is a facility must: 1) undertake measures to prevent exacerbation of existing contamination; 2) exercise due care by undertaking response activity necessary to mitigate unacceptable exposure to hazardous substances and allow for the intended use of the property in a manner that protects the public health and safety; and 3) take reasonable precautions against the reasonably foreseeable acts or omissions of a third party and the consequences that could result from those acts or omissions. Additionally, pursuant to Section 29a(1), a person may petition the MDEQ for a determination that the proposed use of the property satisfies the person’s obligations under Section 7a. This report serves as such a petition for the property currently known as the “Former Trenton Chemical Facility” (subject property) located on Jefferson Avenue in Trenton, Wayne County, Michigan. The information necessary to support this petition is provided in the following four subsections.

1.0 Detailed Characteristics of Property Use

As discussed in Section 3.0 of the BEA report, the intended future development of the subject property is as part of a wildlife preserve and interpretive center. The property is currently unoccupied. Figure 2 in the BEA is a map of the historical subject property use.

2.0 Hazardous Substance Information

Regulated/hazardous substances that are expected to be present in soil and groundwater at the property include those identified in the body of the BEA report and as detailed in historical analytical data referenced in said report. The identified substances include; benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, lead, arsenic and asbestos in soil, and benzene, chlorobenzene, methylene chloride, vinyl chloride, arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead and thallium in groundwater. The identified substances are assumed to be associated with former processes that took place at the subject property. The subject property has been categorized as a facility as defined by Part 201 due to the presence of elevated levels of lead, arsenic and xylenes in the soils and benzene, cholorobenzene, methylene chloride, vinyl chloride, arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead and thallium in groundwater. Applicable chemical-specific concerns are limited to direct contact with contaminated soils and groundwater and direct contact with an inhalation of airborne contaminated particulates during construction activities.

3.0 Plan for Response Activities (PRA)

Currently there are no active response activities scheduled by the proposed purchaser, Wayne County Parks and Recreation Department, to mitigate exacerbation and/or contact with existing contamination. Appropriate remedial actions have already been implemented. The existing soil cap and restrictive covenant at the subject property currently provide an effective barrier from contact with impacted soils and groundwater. The future development of the subject property as part of a wildlife preserve and interpretive center, which may include building(s), parking lot(s) and landscape cover should continue to provide an effective future barrier to direct contact with soil and also provide for fugitive dust control.

4.0 Evaluation and Demonstration of Compliance with 7a Obligations

Proposed future use of the subject property may include redevelopment as a wildlife preserve and interpretive center, and may include buildings, landscaped areas and parking areas. It is not anticipated that hazardous substances or chemicals will be used or stored at the subject property. Therefore, the proposed use will not exacerbate existing contamination at the subject property.

5.0 Construction – Compliance Analysis Plan

Exposure Routes: Currentl subject property conditions, including the soil cap in place and restrictive covenant directives, serve as a barrier to direct contact exposure, drinking water exposure, emissions of volatile organic compounds, if any, and atmospheric entrainment of contaminated particulate matter. During construction activities, contaminated soils may be exposed. Due to the nature of identified contaminants, exposure pathways appear limited to construction workers who may be potentially exposed, directly and/or indirectly, via oral ingestion, inhalation of organic vapors, dermal contact, and inhalation of contaminated airborne soils and particulates; and the general public which may be exposed or organic vapors and contaminated airborne soils and particulates.

Hazardous Substances – Exposure Rates: Exposure frequencies and durations are not expected to exceed rates associated with normal construction activities (e.g., soil excavation, transport, and disposal, surface and subsurface activities). Only trained, authorized personnel will have access to the subject property.

Description of Required Response Activities: Other than appropriate management of excavated soils and extracted shallow groundwater during construction and proper capping of the subject property after completion of construction, no additional response activity is required on behalf of the owner.

Soil Removal Activities: Future development plans for the facility may include construction activities including, but not limited to, excavation of contaminated and non-contaminated soils. Soil relocation shall be performed in accordance with Section 20120c of Part 201. Soil excavation due to construction requirements will be appropriately managed, in that:

1) the excavated soil will be returned to the excavation; if appropriate;

2) where possible, the soil may be relocated on the subject property and properly contained (e.g.; capped);

3) the soil will be characterized to determine proper offsite disposal requirements, and soil requiring offsite disposal will be transported and disposed into an appropriate properly licensed landfill facility (when necessary, soil to be disposed offsite may be temporarily relocated within the site of environmental contamination prior to final offsite disposal); and/or,

4) existing exposure barriers that are damaged will be repaired or replaced with an equivalent or more effective alternative, or prior to future use, if a barrier is warranted, one will be placed.

Shallow Groundwater Removal Activities: Future development plans for the facility may include construction activities including, but not limited to extraction of contaminated and non-contaminated groundwater. Offsite transportation and disposal of groundwater shall be performed in accordance with Section 20120c of Part 201. Groundwater that is extracted due to construction requirements will be appropriately managed, in that:

1) the groundwater will be characterized to determine proper offsite disposal requirements, and will be transported and disposed into an appropriate properly licensed treatment facility (when necessary, groundwater to be disposed offsite may be temporarily containerized and relocated within the site of environmental contamination prior to final offsite disposal);

2) groundwater may be treated at the subject property using appropriate treatment mechanism(s) (i.e. carbon adsorption filtration, air stripping, etc.). If permitted, treated water will be discharged into the public sanitary sewer system and/or transported offsite for disposal; and/or

3) existing exposure barriers that are damaged will be repaired or replaced with an equivalent or more effective alternative, or prior to future use, if a barrier is warranted, one will be placed.

Offsite soil and groundwater disposal activities will be recorded by appropriate documentation, including, but not limited to: manifests, trucking logs, receipts, and other required documentation consistent with Section 20120c(6).

Construction Activities: Construction-related hazardous substance storage, handling, and use areas at the facilities will be identified. Storage and management of construction- related hazardous substances will be performed in a manner designed to maintain public and worker safety and environmental health, and in a manner and location that will permit distinguishing between existing contamination and new releases. A plan will be prepared designating appropriate construction- related hazardous substance storage and handling locations.

Releases of construction-related hazardous substances will be managed in accordance with procedures described in “Release of Hazardous Materials from Construction Use” below.

Prior to commencement of construction activities, a copy of the approved compliance analysis will be provided to project managers representing contractors and subcontractors involved with subject property construction activities. Post-construction activities by subsurface workers will be preceded by notice to those (e.g. subsurface workers) who may have exposure to the contaminants.

Existing Contamination – Not Previously Known: If existing contamination is encountered during construction activities that was not previously known to exist, and is not consistent with known existing contamination, then such contamination shall be characterized and managed in accordance with Part 201 and/or Part 213 of the NREPA. Contaminated materials (i.e. soil and/or groundwater) will be characterized in place or will be staged in a properly designated area until characterization is completed and appropriate relocation destinations are determined. In addition, all appropriate actions will immediately be taken in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations to prevent, abate, or minimize such release, threat of release, or endangerment. If during performance of construction activities an event occurs that presents an imminent and substantial endangerment through a release or threat of release the Pollution Emergency Alerting System (PEAS, 1-800-292-4706) shall be immediately notified.

Release of Hazardous Materials from Construction Use: If there is a release of hazardous materials from onsite usage during construction activities (e.g., release from temporary storage tanks, etc.), actions consistent with requirements of Part 201 and/or Part 213, as applicable, shall be implemented, including but not limited to: determine the extent and severity of the release; report the release to the Pollution Emergency Alerting System (PEAS, 1-800-292-4706) if subject to reportable quantities or if there is a threat of imminent and substantial endangerment; immediately stop or prevent the release at its source, immediately identify and eliminate any threat of fire or explosion or any direct contact hazards; and diligently pursue response activities necessary to achieve applicable cleanup criteria.

Fugitive Dust Control Plan: The following Fugitive Dust Control Program will be implemented during construction activities.

1) Unpaved Roads and Parking Areas

Applicant shall apply a dust suppressant to all unpaved roadways. Application frequency shall be at daily intervals, except when the surface is wet or snow covered.

2) Paved Roads and Parking Areas

Applicants shall utilize a sweeper on all paved roads and paved parking areas.

Frequency of sweeping on paved roads shall be at daily intervals, except when the surface is wet or snow- covered. Frequency of sweeping on paved parking areas shall be at 30 day intervals except when the surface is wet or snow- covered.

3) Recordkeeping

Applicant shall maintain a record of sweeping frequency and frequency of dust suppressant application.

4) Traffic Speeds

Vehicular traffic on all construction roadways shall be limited to a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour and posted near the construction site entrance.
