Appendix C
Analysis of 80 Facilities with
Contaminated Groundwater Deleted
from the National Priorities List
80 Superfund facilities with groundwater contamination were identi-
fied by EPA personnel as having met cleanup goals and being delisted from
the National Priorities List (NPL). Information on the 80 facilities found
in this appendix was compiled by the Committee based on Site Deletion
documents, Records of Decision, EPA Fact Sheets, and other information
available from the CERCLIS website (http://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/
cursites/srchsites.cfm). The Committee strongly advises anyone using these
data to review the primary documents concerning these sites.
For the 80 facilities, Tables C-1 through C-4 provide information on
the site types, the contaminants of concern (COCs) present, the remedial
action objectives (RAOs), and the extent to which contaminant concentra-
tions in groundwater met maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) prior to
facility delisting, respectively. Contaminants were divided into categories
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds
(SVOCs) and metals. Figures C-1 through C-4 provide the same informa-
tion in graphical form. Further explanation of these tables and graphs can
be found in Chapter 2.

72. Whitewood Creek
State: SD
Site Lead: EPA
Date Deleted from NPL: August 13, 1996
Date of Last Five-Year Review: September 27, 2007
COCs: Arsenic, copper, zinc, selenium, and mercury
RAOs: Reduce contaminant concentrations below MCLs (arsenic 10 µg/L,
copper 1,000 µg/L, zinc 5,000 µg/L, selenium 50 µg/L, and mercury 2 µg/L).
Five-year review suggests a waiver from complying with the arsenic MCL.
Technologies Applied: Groundwater monitoring
Reported Results: No groundwater results provided in the most recent
five-year review.
MCLs Achieved? No. The fact sheet says that “Since waste is left in place
which precludes unlimited use and unrestricted exposure, EPA will continue
to conduct five-year reviews.”
ICs in Place? Yes, ordinance restrictions on future digging in remediated
areas
Vapor Intrusion: Not applicable
Long-Term Monitoring? Yes

73. Del Norte Pesticide Storage
State: CA
Site Lead: EPA
Date Deleted from NPL: September 18, 2002
Date of Last Five-Year Review: June 14, 2010
COCs: 1,2-Dichloropropane and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
RAOs: Restoration of contaminated on-site groundwater to 100 µg/L for
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (federal MCL is 70) and to the health-based
level of 10 µg/L for 1,2-dichloropropane (federal MCL is 5)
Technologies Applied: Pump and treat and groundwater monitoring
Reported Results: By October 1997, both the groundwater and soil
cleanup levels for 2,4-D had been achieved. Although the 10 µg/L heath-
based level for 1,2-DCP has not been achieved, 1,2-DCP concentrations in
groundwater continue to decline slowly and the plume is contained within
the original contaminated area.
MCLs Achieved? No, the MCL for 1,2-DCP has not yet been met. “EPA’s
2000 ROD Amendment concluded that the 5,000 foot plume was not
migrating and that it was technically impracticable to restore the 1,2-DCP
plume to the 5 μg/L MCL. The 2000 ROD Amendment therefore waived
this ARAR on the basis of Technical Impracticability” (http://www.epa.gov/
fedrgstr/EPA-WASTE/2002/August/Day-08/f20099.htm).

State: CA
Site Lead: EPA
Date Deleted from NPL: April 21, 2005
Date of Last Five-Year Review: September 28, 2001
COCs: VOCs
RAOs: Reduce GW contamination to the following levels:
Contaminant MCL (µg/L) federal MCL
1,1 dichloroethylene 6 7
1,1 dichloroethane 5 none
1,1,1 trichloroethane 70 200

Benzene 0.7 5
Toluene 20 1000
Ethylbenzene 10 700
Xylene 70 10,000
Technologies Applied: Pump and treat, groundwater monitoring, and
natural attenuation
Reported Results: The final sampling occurred on July 28, 1998 with
only two wells showing contamination above cleanup standards: well S09
containing 55 µg/L of 1,1-DCE and OW4 containing 11 µg/L of 1,1-DCE.
These wells are in the shallow zone and are located approximately 250-300
feet from the facility. No contamination above cleanup standards was found
in the intermediate or deep zones. The Regional Water Quality Control
Board noted a declining trend in 1,1-DCE concentrations in the shallow
aquifer (from 130 µg/L in 1995 to 55 µg/L in 1998) and stated that, due
to the low concentrations and significant separation by tens of feet from
underlying water zones, the shallow zone contamination would not be ex-
pected to impact the downgradient groundwater and deeper aquifers in the
future. They also stated that they believed that the wells would slowly at-
tenuate to below the cleanup standard. After the last sampling event, wells
were destroyed and sealed. No further monitoring has occurred at the site.

MCLs Achieved? Yes, MCLs were achieved in the deep aquifer (but not
the shallow).

remedy for the Firestone site.

State: HI
Site Lead: U.S. Army
Date Deleted from NPL: August 30, 2000
Date of Last Five-Year Review: September 24, 2007
COCs: Trichloroethene
RAOs: Reduce level of TCE contamination to drinking water standards
only at point of use. A technical impracticability (TI) waiver was prepared,
which supports the idea of point-of-use treatment. Because of the TI waiver,
the cleanup goals apply only at the wellhead and not throughout the aquifer.
Technologies Applied: Point-of-use treatment
Reported Results: No results provided
MCLs Achieved? No, because water is only being treated at the point of use
ICs in Place? Yes. There are prohibitions on the use or disturbance of
groundwater, prohibitions on excavation activities, disturbance of the land-
fill cover, and any other activities that might interfere with the implemented
remedy.

RAOs: Reduce contamination to the following levels: pentachlorophe-
nol 1 µg/L, benzo(a)pyrene 0.2 µg/L, and TCDDeqv 30 pg/L.
Technologies Applied: Physical and chemical groundwater treatment sys-
tem (steam)
Reported Results: The table below shows site-wide average groundwater

UCL95 Deep Aquifer 0.054 µg/L 0.03 µg/L 0.0053 ng/L
The statistical analysis of the groundwater data demonstrated that the
cleanup levels had been met in both the intermediate and deep monitoring
zones at the Site, except for two outliers, which were found during a period
with low water table elevations.

RAOs: Reduce contamination to the following levels: 1,1-DCE to 7
µg/L; 1,1,1-TCA to 200 µg/L; 1,1-DCA to 5 µg/L; and TCE to 5 µg/L.
Technologies Applied: Groundwater monitoring and pump and treat
Reported Results: Analytical results indicated that 1,1-DCE, 1,1,1-TCA,
and TCE continue to be present in the groundwater at concentrations be-
low the Federal and State MCLs. The concentration of 1,1-DCA in well
MW8902 was 5.4 µg/L, which is above the cleanup level of 5.0 µg/L.

Reported Results: The PRPs continued to monitor groundwater at the site
for five years after cleanup was completed and no contaminants of concern
were detected in perimeter or off-site wells.
MCLs Achieved? Not applicable, as groundwater was never contaminated
ICs in Place? A Consent Decree with the owners executed prior to cleanup
required a deed notice with requirements to notify the Washington State
Department of Ecology before excavating below 15 feet and to notify EPA
before using groundwater at the site. A deed notice to that effect was re-
corded August 30, 1999.

was no contaminant migration from soil to groundwater.
