Morgan Francis Raymark Superfund Site Stratford, Connecticut

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. The resultant byproducts were 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.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) approved two Record of Decisions (ROD) and one Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) that specified the selected remedies for the subject properties at the Raymark Superfund Project located in the town of Stratford, Connecticut. The relevant ESD and RODs are titled:

• RAYMARK INDUSTRIES, INC. SUPERFUND SITE RECORD OF DECISION FOR FINAL

SOURCE CONTROL ACTIONS AT FOUR PROPERTIES WITHIN OPERABLE UNIT 6

(ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES) AND INTERIM ACTIONS AT OTHER LOCATIONS

CONTAINING RAYMARK WASTE, dated July 2011

UNIT 6 (ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES) AND MODIFICATION TO THE OU1 REMEDY,

dated September 2016

• EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES RAYMARK INDUSTRIES, INC.

SUPERFUND SITE OPERABLE UNITS 4 AND 6, dated September 2023

The general scope of work for this task order involves the remediation of OU3 (Upper Upper Ferry Creek) & OU6 (Morgan Francis). See site figure 1 below for reference.

Contaminated soil and sediment will either be transported to OU6 Morgan Francis for consolidation or sent off-site for disposal. The contractor shall be responsible for all transport and disposal (T&D) activities whether disposal is at the OU6 Morgan Francis site or off-site. The work involves managing, coordinating, and implementing all remedial efforts at the properties during the excavation, restoration, consolidation, and capping activities. The contractor shall be responsible for establishing and implementing all stormwater management activities. The contract also involves the installation of an engineered cap at OU6 Morgan Francis upon completion of all excavation and consolidation activities.

Figure 1 Site Location Map

OU6 – Morgan Francis The portion of the Site consisting of the former Morgan Francis property encompasses approximately 5.7 acres and formerly consisted of two (2) separate parcels, 576 and 600 East Broadway, but the boundary for 576 East Broadway parcel has been vacated and now the entire Morgan Francis property is recorded as 576 East Broadway and owned by the Town of Stratford. The Morgan Francis property is currently primarily heavily vegetated. During operations, waste generated from the Raymark facility (referred to as Raymark Waste) was deposited at the Morgan Francis property as fill material. Through the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) process, Raymark Waste was defined as soil containing lead above 400 parts per million (ppm) and asbestos (chrysotile only) greater than 1%, and either copper above 288 ppm or polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1268 only) above 1 ppm. An estimated 44,000 cy of Raymark Waste is buried at the Morgan Francis property.

The former separate 576 East Broadway parcel was approximately 1.4 acres of Light Industrial District, MA zoned land. Located in Stratford, Connecticut, this property contains two connected buildings. The buildings are vacant and reportedly consist of a former wood shop and a warehouse. A portion of existing building is dilapidated with the 1-story wood framed portion close to collapse. There is an asphalt parking lot adjacent to the buildings. The buildings currently occupy approximately 3,000 square ft while the existing asphalt parking lot occupies approximately 0.3 acres. A chain-link fence runs along the northern, western, and southern edges of the pavement area, separating the buildings and existing pavement from the wooded area of the property. These buildings and related infrastructure will be demolished as part of the remedial activities.

A tributary of Tanner Creek is located just off the northwest end of the property and enters UUFC, located on the northeastern property line adjacent to the 335 Ferry Boulevard parcel. The undeveloped former separate 600 East Broadway parcel is located to the west of the 576 parcel. The former separate 576 parcel is generally flat with a slight downward slope to the northwest, toward Ferry Creek and away from East Broadway. No known stormwater drain inlets are in the parking lot. The fill on this parcel consists of both soil and manmade materials comprised predominantly of sand, silt, gravel, and manmade debris including Raymark Waste, typically loose to medium dense in terms of relative density. The fill thickness ranges from about two (2) to 17 ft across the parcel. The manmade materials include the following: presumed asbestos containing material (PACM) (fibrous asbestos mats and pads), asphalt, brake pads, brick, cinders, coal, concrete, gasket material, glass, metal debris, plastic, steel, and tiles. Raymark Waste found in manmade fill materials on this parcel contains asbestos, lead, copper and/or Aroclor 1268. Raymark Waste is not visible on the surface at this property.

The former 600 East Broadway parcel was approximately 4.3 acres of MA Light Industrial zoned land. From 1948 until sometime in the 1970s, this property was occupied by the Morgan Francis Flagpole Company. Beginning in the late 1980s, this property was an active industrial waste disposal area. Currently, the property is undeveloped and overgrown with heavy vegetative growth. The fill on this property consists of both natural and manmade materials. The manmade materials include the following: PACM (fibrous asbestos mats and pads), asbestos fibers, asphalt, brake pads, brick, cinders, broken rock, concrete, glass, metal debris, nails, roofing shingles, rubber soles, slag, and wood. These materials were discovered with natural fill consisting of sand, silty sand and sand-silt mixtures, gravelly silty sand, and sand and gravel. Raymark Waste found in fill materials on this property contains asbestos, lead, copper and/or Aroclor 1268.

OU3 – Ferry Creek The portion of OU3 for this project consists of the uppermost portion of Ferry Creek known as Upper Upper Ferry Creek (UUFC) and adjacent wetlands where Raymark Waste was deposited through placement of fill, overland runoff, or surface water transport. OU3 extends from the outlet of a culvert at I-95 downstream for approximately 2,500 ft to the Broad Street Bridge. Ferry Creek is tidally influenced, and flow can be restricted and/or controlled by flood gates and a pumping station located at the Broad Street Bridge. The approximate 600-foot (ft) portion of Upper Ferry Creek, located between Ferry Boulevard and I-95 is included in this project and is referred to as UUFC.

The UUFC includes the Tanner Creek Tributary. UUFC is surrounded by historically identified areas of Raymark Waste, including the Morgan Francis property and the vacant lot abutting I-95.
