1.0 Background

The Raymark Industries, Inc. Superfund Site (the “Site”) includes areas that have been contaminated as a result of manufacturing processes from the former Raymark Industries, Inc. facility. The former Raymark Facility, which was located at 75 East Main Street in Stratford, Connecticut, operated from 1919 to 1989. Known as Raybestos- Manhattan, Inc., Raymark manufactured gaskets, clutches and heavy brake friction components for the automotive industry. Raymark generated wastes containing asbestos, lead, copper, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and a variety of solvents, adhesives, and resins as byproducts of its manufacturing operations. This resultant byproduct was available as “free fill” to the Town and residents. The Raymark waste that remains in the town of Stratford presents a threat to human health that needs to be addressed. The conceptual approach is comprehensive in that it addresses all Raymark waste in residential, commercial, and recreational properties.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved one Record of Decision (ROD) that specified the selected remedies for four operable units (OUs) of the Raymark Superfund Project. The specific OUs are OU2 (Groundwater Vapor Intrusion), OU3 (Upper Ferry Creek), OU4 (Raybestos Memorial Ballfield), and OU6 (Additional Properties). Although OU2 is part of the ROD, it is not included in this contract acquisition since Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) is responsible for the remedy at OU2.

The selected remedy incorporates the consolidation and capping of approximately 100,000 cubic yards of Raymark waste. Excavated Raymark waste from OUs 3 & 6 will be consolidated at the OU4 Memorial Ballfield and covered with a low-permeability cap.

Sediment and waste soil containing more heavily contaminated material that exceeds certain regulatory limits will be transported to a licensed out-of-town disposal facility.

Based on available data, approximately ten percent (10%) of the estimated volume (+/- 110,000 cubic yards (cy)) of excavated Raymark waste and sediment may exceed the regulatory Principal Hazardous Constituents (PHC) limits. Any Raymark waste that exceeds the PHC contamination threshold will be transported to an out-of-town licensed disposal facility. Refer to Figure 1 for site locations.

OU3 (Upper Ferry Creek) encompass approximately seven acres, including approximately one acre of wetlands and one acre of open water, and consists primarily of three different areas: the delineated wetlands, the Upper Ferry Creek channel, and all other soils (mainly bank soils). All of OU3 is located within the 100-year floodplain. OU3 requires excavation of the top two feet of channel sediment for the entire length of

Ferry Creek from the I-95 culvert down to the Broad Street Bridge. Upper Ferry Creek bank soil (above the mean high water line) and adjacent wetland soil containing Raymark waste will be excavated to a depth of four feet. The bottom of each soil excavation will be lined with a geotextile fabric to serve as a warning layer, then backfilled with clean material, followed by site restoration. Based on available data, excavation and consolidation of Raymark waste from OU3 is estimated at 34,850 cy (Sediment = 4,650 cy, Wetlands = 7,600 cy & Stream bank = 22,600 cy).

OU4 (Raybestos Memorial Ballfield) will be the consolidation of Raymark waste from OU3 and OU6 and eventually include the construction of a low-permeability cap. The cap will be constructed in a manner that will allow commercial redevelopment of the property while ensuring the continued containment of the underlying contamination.

OU4 has the capacity to receive approximately 100,000 cy of Raymark waste from OU3 and OU6.

OU6 (Additional Properties) is comprised of 22 non-contiguous commercial, recreational, and residential properties where Raymark waste was used to fill low-lying areas. OU6 requires excavation of the top four feet of soil areas containing Raymark waste from each property. The bottom of each soil excavation will be lined with a geotextile fabric to serve as a warning layer, then backfilled with clean material, followed by site restoration. Based on available data, excavation and consolidation of Raymark waste from OU6 is estimated at 71,000 cy.

Raymark waste-contaminated soil containing more heavily contaminated material that exceeds certain regulatory limits will be segregated during excavation and transported to a licensed out-of-town disposal facility. Based on available data, approximately ten percent (10%) of the estimated volume (+/-110,000 cubic yards (cy)) of excavated Raymark waste and sediment may exceed the regulatory Principal Hazardous Constituents (PHC) limits. Any Raymark waste that exceeds the PHC contamination threshold will be transported to an out-of-town licensed disposal facility. Refer to Figure 1 below for site locations.
