I. OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT PLAN

This Community Involvement Plan (CIP) for the Armour Road site, located at 2251

Armour Road, North Kansas City, Missouri, identifies issues of community concern related to

a planned cleanup at the site. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) anticipates

continued response actions, for which it will be the lead agency, at the Armour Road site,

under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

(CERCLA), which is commonly known as Superfund. Completion of this CIP precedes the

release of an Engineering..Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) prepared by U.S. Borax, Inc.

under an Administrative Order on Consent issued by the EPA under CERCLA. U.S. Borax is

one of several potentially responsible parties for the site. The EE/CA addresses alternatives for

treatment or removal (or both) of contaminated soil and ground water at the Armour Road site.

Because of the actions outlined and the expected duration of the activities, this CIP was

prepared to meet the requirement of 40 C.F.R. § 300.415(n) for having a formal plan

specifying community involvement activities the EPA expects to take in its role as lead agency

for the response activities. EPA conducts community involvement activities to ensure that the

public has an opportunity to participate in Superfund actions and is adequately informed of the

decision-making process and of the progress toward cleanup. Formulation of a CIP by EPA is

completely independent of any actions that might be taken by potentially responsible parties.

The areas of community concern discussed in this CIP were determined primarily during

personal interviews conducted with representatives of neighboring businesses and city officials

in early December 1997. Background information on the site was obtained from interviews ^

with staff of North Kansas City and from a number of previously completed reports prepared in C7 ~*i 3

conjunction with sampling at the site, including an Expanded Site Inspection Sampling Report Q ^

prepared February 22-23, 1997, by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, a trip CJ1 BJ>k 0.

report by the Ecology & Environment, Inc., (an EPA contractor), dated June 5, 1996, which ^O

addressed limited sampling at the site for Region 7 EPA, and the Administrative Order on

Consent for the EE/CA being prepared by U.S. Borax, Inc., which became effective January 6,

1997.

The EPA Region 7 Office of External Programs will coordinate all of EPA's community

involvement activities at the site. This CIP was drafted by Ecology & Environment, Inc. [(

E&E) the EPA Superfund Technical Assessment & Response Team (START) contractor for

Region 7] in consultation with the EPA.

This CIP addresses response actions (if any) to be taken to reduce any threat posed to

public health or welfare or the environment by the presence of hazardous substances, pollutants

or contaminants at the site.

II. SITE DESCRIPTION

The Armour Road site is located at 2251 Armour Road (also known as 210 Highway), in

a commercial/industrial area of North Kansas City, in Clay County, Missouri. The location is

within the SE 1/4, NE 1/4 of Section 13, Township 50 N, Range 33 W, as noted on the North

Kansas City Quadrangle 7.5 Minute Topographic map. The site coflsists of a former

office/warehouse building located on the western edge of the site, with narrow bands of

property mostly covered by concrete or asphalt on the other three sides. A drainage ditch

crosses the southeast corner of the property. The EPA has covered the ditch with plastic

sheeting and gravel to reduce human exposure to contaminated soil. The ditch carries storm

water to a confluence with Rock Creek about one-half mile east of the site. Rock Creek flows

into the Missouri River another mile downstream. Armour Road, a four-lane road that

normally carries heavy traffic, passes along the north side of the site. A fast-food restaurant

and bank branch are located directly across Armour Road from the site. A retail lumber yard

is located immediately west of the site. Two rail lines, which share a railroad bed, are located

immediately south of the site. An access road leading from Armour Road into Norfolk- f^T7 jk

Southern rail yards south of the site passes along the east side of the site before crossing over C7 3*i» o

the adjacent tracks owned by Burlington Northern (nearest the site) and Norfolk Southern O TO x>

Corporation. An elevator and milling facilities lie beyond the lumber yard to the west of the ? °

site, while a service station and other small businesses are located across Armour Road to the

north and west. North Kansas City Hospital is located one-half mile northeast of the site, while

the nearest school is approximately 1 mile to the north of the site. The residents nearest to the

site are about one-quarter mile north.

K.C. 1986 Limited Partnership (K.C. 1986), a partnership registered in Minnesota, is

the current owner of the site. DEH Merrywood Company, a Minnesota corporation, is the

general partner of K.C. 1986. K.C. 1986 was purportedly created for the purpose of

acquiring the property from Habco and to develop it for commercial purposes. K. C. 1986

apparently has never conducted any herbicide manufacturing, blending or distribution at the

site. The property was conveyed to K. C. 1986 in December 1986. During its ownership of

the site, Habco operated af( herbicide manufacturing, blending and distribution operation at the

site, and used and stored arsenic, 2,4, -D, 2,4,5-T, and pentachlorophenol, and mixtures and/or

solutions containing those substances in its operations. Habco was dissolved as a corporation in

1987.

Reade Manufacturing Company, Inc., owned the site from 1948 until 1968, during which

time it conducted herbicide manufacturing, blending and distribution operations at the site,

using the same chemicals as were later used by Habco. REMACOR acquired the capital stock

of Reade Manufacturing in 1983 and subsequently merged Reade into REMACOR. U.S.

Borax, which agreed to prepare the EE/CA to evaluate alternatives for a cleanup at the site,

leased the site from Reade between November 18, 1963, and November 18, 1968, during

which time it used and stored arsenic, 2,4-D, 2,4, 5, -T and pentachlorophenol as part of its

operations.Pi~n

In 1989, Hardee's Food Systems, Inc. acquired a leasehold interest in the site and tL. gO 1

contracted with Terracon Environmental, Inc. for completion of an environmental assessment O g?*J\ o

of the property. Analytical results from samples taken by Terracon indicated the presence of Hi °~

significant amounts of arsenic, 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and pentachlorophenol in the soil and building

and the ground water under the site. The presence of contaminants at the site was reported to

the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the city of North Kansas City.

As part of a consent agreement between MDNR and K.C. 1986, the site's owner

contracted with Environmental Management Resources (EMR) for additional investigation at

the site, which resulted in the issuance of a report entitled "Remedial Action Plan Interim

Report" dated April 19, 1996. EMR's investigation found more than 30 contaminants in the

soil, building and ground water at the site. Arsenic was found as high as 13,333 milligrams

per kilogram [(mg/kg) or parts per million (ppm)] in the soil and 30,908,000 micrograms per

liter (/ug/L) in ground water; 2,4-D as high as 45 ppm in soil and 94,000 ,ug/L in ground

water; 2,4,5-T as high as 140 ppm in soil and 320,000 /-ig/L in ground water; and

pentachlorophenol at levels as high as 190 ppm in soil and 8,062,500 ,ug/L in ground water.

Concrete samples and surface wipe samples from the building showed arsenic at 1,480 ppm and

171 micrograms per 100 square centimeters Gug/100 cm2), respectively.

MDNR performed separate investigations at the site in early 1996. Its "Expanded Site

Inspection Sampling Report," dated February 22-23, 1996, showed arsenic in site soils at levels

of up to 54,900 ppm; 2,4-D at up to 7 ppm; 2,4,5-T at up to 84 ppm, and pentachlorophenol at

up to 1.5 ppm. Independent investigations by EPA in May 1996 found arsenic in soil from the

surface down to 6 inches deep at concentrations as high as 121,000 ppm (12.1 percent).

In May 1996, EPA initiated a time-critical removal at the site, which included placing a

plastic barrier atop the contaminated soils on the site, and installing a security fence around the

perimeter of the site.

III. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND

A. Community Profile

North Kansas City, Missouri, is a heavily industrialized city of 4,225 (estimated U.S.

Census Bureau) located at the southern tip of Clay County. The city is bounded on most sides

by Kansas City, Missouri, with the Missouri River separating North Kansas City and Clay

County from Kansas City, Missouri, and Platte County on the eastern boundary. The small

community of Avondale borders the city to the north on the northeastern edge. City officials

estimate the population of the city expands to about 50,000 during the workday as commuters

come into North Kansas City. Commercial property suitable for development is considered to

be at a premium, according to officials familiar with the business climate. Unemployment in

Clay County stood at 2.4 percent in November 1997, the lowest in Missouri, according to a

city official. The vacancy rate for industrial property in North Kansas City was only 3 percent

in December 1997, with most of the unused industrial property being older stock in need of

modernization.

The largest employer in the city is Harrah's Casino and Hotel, which has 2,200 workers.

North Kansas City Hospital and Cerner Corporation, which produces computer software for the

health-care industry, employ 1,425 and 1,200 employees, respectively. Burlington Northern

employs 750, while Norfolk & Southern Corporation employs 240. Other major manufacturers

are involved in printing, paper, coatings, steel, and grain processing.

B. History of Community Involvement

CiManagers of businesses near the Armour Road site generally have little or no knowledge 12 ^

of the presence of arsenic and other contaminants on the site. Those with an awareness of the £* c

site had typically gained that awareness firsthand, i.e., by personal observation of sampling ^ o7

Cji Q-teams "wearing white suits." No one contacted in the immediate vicinity of the site suggested co

that the site has presented a threat to public health or the environment or that the presence of

pesticides and other chemicals has affected property values in the community.

While businesses in the immediate vicinity of the site express limited knowledge of the

site or concern about it, the city of North Kansas City has apparently been impacted by

contaminants from the site. Beginning in about 1988, Kansas City, Missouri, which treats

sewage effluent from North Kansas City, began finding higher than normal levels of arsenic in

sewage water being received from North Kansas City. By 1994, the arsenic levels had reached

unacceptable levels, and an effort to trace the contaminant back to its source was undertaken.

The arsenic was traced back to effluent originating in the Paseo Industrial District, and from

there to a well operated by the Treasure Chest Advertising Co. Inc., 2001 Bedford. The

Treasure Chest had drilled the well to a depth of 122 !/i feet in 1985 and was using water from

it to cool industrial processes. The well was closed in July of 1995, as soon as it was

determined as a source of the arsenic. The Armour Road site is regarded as a likely source of

the arsenic in the well, which is about one-half mile southeast of the site.

C. Community Concerns

As indicated previously, no one interviewed during preparation of this CIP indicated

knowledge of any impact on human health or the environment through contact with

contaminants from the Armour Road site. The contaminated ground water beneath the site,

however, poses a threat to area ground water supplies. No one interviewed reported seeing

any trespassing on the site by scavengers, vagrants, children or others prior to or since the EPA

fenced the site in May 1996. Likewise, as previously indicated, no one suggested during

interviews that the site has caused a decline in the value of property in the vicinity.

The contamination at the site, however, is recognized as an economic factor because it

has tied up use of the site for 10 years, and it continues to make it difficult for persons to utilize

what is regarded as a prime piece of commercial property. Uncontaminated commercial

property in North Kansas City is priced at approximately $10.00 per square foot.

Because of the site's attractive location, die city has been approached by a number of ~n >C7 1

developers with ideas of how to use the building and grounds of the Armour Road site. The ^ o0 T

existing building, because of the location and its large overhead doors, has attracted interest O *>01 8Ol Q-

from a number of parties interested in a facility that can accommodate large vehicles.

Simultaneously, there has been interest by developers interested in creating tourist attractions

that would draw in some of the many patrons traveling to and from recently opened river boat

gambling establishments in the area. Another possibility for the site is that a portion on the

south side of it would be used for an extension of Railroad Avenue, which would then pass

along the south side of the retail lumber yard located immediately west of the site.

Because of the city of North Kansas City's desire to see the site developed and added to

the tax rolls, a city representative indicated that the city would like to explore development

options with EPA and MDNR as the cleanup continues, with the city being willing to assist

where possible. The individual noted that had it been possible to have cleaned up the site 10

years ago, when the environmental assessment first indicated the problem, governmental bodies

might be seeing handsome tax returns from the property by now. The site, it was suggested,

might become a model for the Brownfields Program, which has been advanced by the EPA as a

way of encouraging economic development of contaminated industrial property. While the

EPA's Brownfields program is geared more toward properties where there is no viable

potentially responsible party or contaminated property that is owned by a city, the city official

said Armour Road may be a good place to show how industry, local, state and federal

government can cooperate to turn a site into a valuable property. In addition to local interest,

the official pointed out that the state of Missouri has endorsed the Brownfields concept and has

received a grant from the EPA for pilot projects.

As previously recounted, the managers and other officials of railroads and other

businesses with facilities near the site expressed little concern during community interviews that -^ ^C7 n

the site may pose a threat to public health or the environment, nor did anyone express fear that ^ 1

a future removal would result in increased danger to those working nearby or those passing o **01 8

through, at least as far as the contaminants were concerned. Operators of neighboring CJl °-

businesses did, however, express a desire for more information about the site and its

contaminants. A representative of Norfolk Southern Corporation said his company was

unaware of trie possibility that ground water beneath its yards might be contaminated until a

representative from MDNR approached a contractor for Norfolk Southern and asked what was

being done with soil excavated from wells drilled as part of a voluntary diesel fuel cleanup

being conducted on its property. After that contact, the railroad's contractor began holding the

soil until it could be tested for the contaminants found on the Armour Road site. None was

found at levels of concern.

For most of those with nearby property, the potential for earthmoving and possible

hauling of materials from the site raises concerns about traffic congestion, safety and potential

lost business. Representatives of Burlington Northern and Norfolk Southern railroads indicated

they have safety concerns about any removal immediately adjacent to the tracks that pass on the

south side of the site. The passage of dozens of trains daily on the two tracks will likewise

necessitate a need for on-site workers to take special precautions so they can safely work in

what will be noisy environment, the representatives of the railroads said. Both railroads

emphasized a need for advanced notice and coordination between the railroads and any

companies or government agencies or their contractors involved in a removal, because of safety

concerns and a desire to keep their employees informed.

IV. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP),

CIPs are normally developed and presented in conjunction with major decisions or milestones

in the cleanup process. A decision to undertake a non-time-critical removal, which involves

preparation of an EE/CA, triggers development of a CIP. The EPA conducts its community

involvement process independently of activities by the potentially responsible parties. EPA's

community involvement program will include the following approaches:

1 . EPA will establish an information repository at the North Kansas City Public

Library, 715 Hast 23rd Avenue, North Kansas City, Missouri 641 16.

2. F.PA will prepare fact sheets for the Armour Rnad site, as developments dictate. Fact ~H >.

sheets will he distributed by mail to those whoJiave^ expressed an interest, door-to-door to tL. oO t

neighboring businesses, to the media, and to public officials^ O J7

PRPs, to assure that all safety questions thaLmight arise in conjunction with, a cleanup are

satisfactorily addressed.

4 . The EPA will, to the extent practicable, continue to communicate with MDNR and

will coordinate efforts with MDNR to assure that managers, employees 30d_patnms_Qf

businesses in the area have sufficient information about sampling and removal activities.

5. If EPA determines that contacts and comments from the community indicate a need

for rnflre_eytensive dissemination of information, the EPA may advertise and conduct ajMiblic

availability session. The city council chamber of the City Building, 2Q1Q Howell, North

Kansas City, Missouri 641 16, is a likely location for any such meeting. Any public availability

session will run from late afternoon until early evening to allow workers in the area access Jo

EPA staff before returning to their homes outside the city for the evening.

V. TECHNIQUES AND TIMING

The timetable on Page 12 (Table 1) indicates the basic sequence of activities that are

essential to properly meeting the goals outlined in this CIP. The precise scheduling of these

activities is dependent on the schedule of EPA's staff and/or the PRPs. Table 1 does not

reflect all CIP activities that may be carried out in relation to the Armour Road site.

Information on sampling, key decisions and other developments related to the site will be PiT) >

placed in the information repository for the site. The repository will be in the C7 3,' . o
