PRAIRIE CREEK - SITE INVESTIGATION

PHASE 2

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENTS

C.1.0 GENERAL

C.1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge - Prairie Creek site had three leaking underground storage tanks (UST’s) removed in 1995. Subsequent site assessment investigations determined the soil and groundwater was contaminated with BTEX, MTBE, and lead. It was determined the soil component contaminant of concern is BTEX. All site investigations where done according to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agencies (IEPA) Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) program, hereby referred to as the IEPA.

In 2014 Natural Resource Technologies (NRT) excavated approximately 355 cubic yards of overburdened soils from the approximate location original tank pit.

During the excavation evidence of additional overburdened material was visible in the sidewalls of the excavation. In 2015 Brownfield Development installed additional groundwater (GW) monitoring wells (MW) and began a yearlong quarterly GW monitoring program to determine the efficacy of the initial excavation.

In 2016 the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will begin work in preparation to widen highway 13 located adjacent to the sight. A Letter of Agreement was signed between the IDOT and FWS. The agreement states the IDOT will excavate, remove and dispose of up to 400 cubic yards contaminated overburdened soils from the site with the oversight of an FWS provided Environmental Consultant.

The Government, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), requires Environmental Consultant (EC) services to develop and implement a Work Plan to perform the following; determine the locations requiring additional excavation of overburdened soils;

coordinate and guide the IDOT’s excavation to ensure that as much contaminated soils are removed as possible; obtain and analyze all required soil samples during the excavation activities; coordinate and guide the IDOT’s backfilling activities; and develop and deliver a Stage 2 Site Assessment report of all remediation activities to the IEPA Program Manager.

Additional work will determine the efficacy of the IDOT excavation activities including: developing a Work Plan to perform the following: installation of three (3) GW monitoring wells at locations designated by the IEPA Program Manager; abandon minimum of five

(5) existing GW monitoring wells; begin a one (1) year quarterly GW monitoring program; and develop Corrective Action and Completion Report providing the efficacy of the second excavation site assessment activity.

All work shall done in strict accordance to the IEPA, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and all other Federal, State, and local rules and regulations.

1 OVERVIEW

1.1 Site Description and History

The Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Prairie Creek Underground Storage Tank (UST) Site had three leaking underground storage tanks removed on December 11, 1995. The site, owned by the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), is located at 10239 Campground Drive, Carbondale, Illinois 62901.

The USTs were located at the southwest intersection of Illinois Route 13 and Campground Drive, adjacent to Crab Orchard Lake, in the NW ¼ of the NE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 17, Township 9 South of the Centralia Baseline and Range 1 East of the Third Principal Meridian (Figure 1).

Incident #95-2425 was assigned to a release from the USTs on November 30, 1995. It should be noted that detailed information regarding the initial release, tank closures, and tank removal was not available through an open review of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) records. NRT received all available IEPA records through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In addition, the Crab

Orchard Wildlife Refuge did not have records pertaining to the initial release, tank closures, or tank removal.

SITE HISTORY/OVERVIEW

IEPA on November 8, 2011 (Brownfields, 2011a), and approved, with modifications, on January 25, 2012

(IEPA, 2012). Following investigation work, a third Stage 2 SIP was submitted to the IEPA on

September 17, 2012 (Brownfields, 2012), and approved with modifications, on November 1, 2012

(IEPA, 2012a). A Stage 2 SIP and Interim Corrective Action Plan (Work Plan) was submitted to the IEPA on December 11, 2013 (NRT, 2013), and approved with modifications, on January 31, 2014 (IEPA, 2014).

A Notification Letter detailing modifications to the interim corrective action excavation was submitted to the IEPA on April 15, 2014 (NRT, 2014).

This Site Investigation Completion Report (SICR) summarizes the site investigation and corrective action performed at the site. The report details activities performed in 2014 by Natural Resource Technology, Inc. (NRT) on behalf of USFWS. In addition, interim corrective action activities performed on-site by NRT in 2014 are documented herein. The IEPA Site Investigation Completion Report Form is provided as

Appendix A.

1.2 Corrective Action Summary

Massac advanced seven soil borings in June 1992 and five additional soil borings in March 1995 to evaluate site soils for the presence of contaminants associated with the petroleum UST system. United

Science Industries (USI) permanently closed three USTs at the facility in December 1995. In June 1999, Massac initiated remedial activities, which included the implementation of soil flushing and air sparging technologies, and the installation of five groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and

MW-5). The remedial system was operated from June 1999 through April 2002 (Brownfields, 2012). Upon termination of remedial activities, Massac submitted a CACR to the IEPA on May 16, 2003. The IEPA denied the CACR on June 5, 2003. The IEPA required that additional soil and groundwater sampling be conducted to establish site conditions and to define the extent of soil and groundwater contamination.

In June 2014, NRT carried out interim corrective action activities which included the removal of 357.49 cubic yards (536.23 tons) of LUST impacted soil. Excavation wall samples (N-1, N-2, W-1, W-2, S-1, S-2, E-2, and E-3) were collected for lab analysis on June 24, 2014, prior to backfilling the excavation.

Excavation floor samples were collected from soil borings (F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4, F-5, and F-6) on February

26, 2014, prior to the excavation, in order to avoid groundwater recharge implications during excavation activities. No floor samples were collected following the interim corrective action excavation because the excavation was advanced through the groundwater table. Restoration activities included backfilling the excavation area. The interim corrective action activities were intended to remove source material.

1.3 Site Investigation Summary

As part of site investigation activities, soil samples were collected and analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), total lead, and toxicity

SITE HISTORY/OVERVIEW

characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) lead. Table 1a summarizes the historical soil analytical results collected by previous consultants and Table 1b summarizes the soil analytical results collected by NRT in

2014. Soil analytical results indicate that the contamination plume has been defined on-site to the most stringent Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) Tier 1 Remediation Objectives. See

Figures 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D for the location of the soil contamination plume.

As part of site investigation activities, groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for BTEX, MTBE, and total lead. Table 2 summarizes of all groundwater analytical results collected on-site.

Groundwater analytical results indicate that the contamination plume has been generally defined on-site with respect to the most stringent Tier 1 Remediation Objectives and other applicable criteria. See Figure

7 for the location of the groundwater contamination plumes.

2 SITE DESCRIPTION

2.1 Surrounding Area

The former UST site is part of the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge. Illinois Route 13 borders the site to the north and the Crab Orchard Lake is immediately west of the subject UST site. Crab Orchard Lake is a man-made reservoir encompassing approximately 7,000 acres. Historically, the reservoir was used as a drinking water source for the National Wildlife Refuge and nearby communities including Carbondale, Carterville, Herrin, and Marion; however, since 1993, use of the lake as a potable water source has been discontinued due to the listing of the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge on the National Priorities List

(NPL) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).1

2.2 Local Geology, Hydrogeology, and Hydrology

Information regarding the local geology, hydrogeology, and hydrology was provided in Appendix G of

CACR prepared by Massac and submitted to the IEPA on May 16, 2003 (Massac, 2003). This information is supplemented by the soil boring logs included in Appendix C.

2.3 Local Geography and Topography

The site is part of the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge. See Figure 1 for the Site Location / Topographic

Map.

2.4 Contaminants of Concern

Based on the prior investigation work conducted at the site, the initial contaminants of concern for the

UST site were identified as BTEX, MTBE, total lead, and…
