EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Environmental Resources Management, Inc. (ERM) has prepared this Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) Report for the Keddy Mill Superfund Site (the “Site”) located in Windham, Maine. This EE/CA is a required part of a proposed non-time critical removal action (NTCRA) being evaluated to expedite a limited cleanup action of contamination in the Mill building materials, at the Keddy Mill National Priority List (NPL) site. NPL Remedial cleanup actions currently underway by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), such as the remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS), will continue after the proposed NTCRA is completed to address final clean up actions for the remainder of the Site, such as soil and Presumpscot River sediments, as required.

The intent of this report is to summarize the results of prior Site investigations and to evaluate the potential NTCRA for the Keddy Mill building and associated building materials agreed upon as potentially appropriate in the EE/CA Work Plan. These alternatives consisted of no action, partial demolition, and complete demolition. This EE/CA Report was prepared in accordance with the Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (AOC, CERCLA Docket No. CERC-01-2017-0049), dated 22 May 2017. Neither the EE/CA Work Plan nor this EE/CA Report address soil, groundwater, sediment, surface water, or any other potentially impacted environmental media.

The Keddy Mill building was extensively sampled by the EPA in 2015 and 2016. Results indicated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected in concrete and wood throughout the Mill building above the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) unrestricted use cleanup standard of 1 mg/kg and the Low Occupancy criteria of 25 mg/kg for porous samples as prescribed under 40 CFR § 761.61(a), and asbestos was detected above the laboratory reporting limit in five of the seven samples collected. A streamlined risk assessment identified field staff workers and trespassers as the most likely human receptors, and consequently the following preliminary Removal Action Objectives (RAOs) were developed:

• Reduce exposure of humans to PCBs potentially related to open building access points;

• Reduce the exposure of humans to physical hazards, and asbestos related to deteriorating Mill building materials; and

• Reduce the threat of release of building contaminants into the river to protect ecological receptors consistent with the long-term cleanup goals.

Through a preliminary analysis of removal action alternatives, both “no action” and “complete demolition” were removed from further screening. The “no action” alternative was not protective of human health or the environment, and

Keddy Mill ES-2 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

the “complete demolition” alternative was infeasible as the below ground portion of the West Wall (which abuts an operable hydroelectric dam) was identified as a critical structure for hydroelectric dam facility stability.

Three partial demolition options were then further reviewed. Each option involved the installation of a retaining wall structure to secure the below ground section of the West Wall while demolishing the remaining building. All options were reviewed in terms of effectiveness, implementability, and cost. Through a thorough comparative analysis, Alternative 2 (Soldier Pile and Concrete Lagging Wall) was identified as the most long-term operational, effective, and implementable, yet cost-effective, alternative.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Site was proposed for listing on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 2011. Under the proposed listing, the EPA conducted a Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection and completed a Final Site Investigation Report in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Keddy Mill was formally listed on the NPL on 12 May 2014.

The Site is currently being evaluated under an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (AOC, CERCLA Docket No. CERC-01-2017- 0049), dated 22 May 2017, for an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis. A NTCRA to address the Mill building contamination would promptly reduce the risk associated with materials on-Site through early action.

This EE/CA Report presents the findings from prior sampling activities conducted on the Mill building and Mill building materialsi in the immediate vicinity of the Site. This report was prepared in conformance with the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) “Guidance on Conducting Non-Time Critical Removal Actions Under CERCLA” (USEPA, 1993).

Specifically, the purpose of this NTCRA is to:

Identify chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) through comparison to chemical-specific risk-based concentrations;

Provide an estimate of how and to what extent human receptors might be exposed to these COPCs and their associated human health risks; and

Determine the most beneficial and feasible Mill building materials that can be removed in an expeditious manner in order to immediately reduce risk to potential trespassers and the environment.

Potential Removal Action alternatives were identified and evaluated by applying the EE/CA guidance criteria of implementability, effectiveness, and cost. The identification and screening of the Removal Actions results in an evaluation and a recommendation as to which action would be the most appropriate.

structure located near the Mill) and the concrete slabs to the north of the Mill building that

reportedly were affected by fire.

Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION

2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

2.1.1 Site Location and Physical Setting

Keddy Mill is a 6.93-acre site located at 7 Depot Street in Windham, Maine. The property itself is located in a mixed commercial/residential area and bounded by Depot Street to the North, a railroad right-of-way to the east, a parking lot to the west, and the Presumpscot River to the south. The Mill is located next to an operating hydroelectric dam and power generating station. A site location map is provided as Figure 1. The Site is currently vacant and consists of a dilapidated, two-story concrete structure (formerly the “Mill”) which includes a basement that was reportedly constructed in the early 1900s. Various other buildings which once existed on site have since been demolished. The Site is now partially enclosed by a locked, chain-link fence.

2.1.2 Present and Past Facility Operations

Between 1756 and 1997, the Keddy Mill property has had over a dozen different owners which used the property for a variety of industrial activities including a sawmill, grist and wool carding mills, wood pulp and box-board manufacturing, steel manufacturing, fabrication of heavy equipment buckets, and a small machine shop. Table 1 provides a list of historic ownership and operations at the property. The facility is currently unoccupied but shows signs of frequent trespassing.

2.1.3 Surrounding Land Use and Populations

As mentioned previously, the property is located in a mixed commercial/residential area. To the south the property is bounded by the Presumpscot River. From review of historical documents and field observations, it appears the river flows under a portion of the western end of the building (where the building has been built on piers with an elevated basement slab). To the west and southwest of the Site there is an operating hydroelectric power plant and an associated parking lot. To the northwest is an apartment complex built in 2006 and owned by the South Windham Housing Corporation. To the north the site is bounded by Depot St. which includes multiple residential and commercial properties. Lastly, to the east is a former Maine Central Railroad right-of-way which is currently owned by Maine Department of Transportation. From field observations, it does not appear that this railroad track is currently operable.

Keddy Mill 4 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

2.1.4 Sensitive Receptors

Human receptors that would most likely contact COPCs are limited to on-Site field staff workers during Site characterization activities and trespassers, both of whom may be exposed to Mill building materials through incidental ingestion, dermal contact, or inhalation of fugitive dusts that may be produced from degraded materials currently present or released during Site characterization activities. No residential impacts are anticipated and, therefore, are not included in this evaluation.

No ecological receptors were evaluated as part of this EE/CA as there are no habitats associated with the Mill and Mill building materials itself (although ecological receptors are located immediately adjacent to the building in the river). However, any response action undertaken at the Site to address acute human health concerns would be expected to also result in beneficial outcomes for the environment. Any removal action taken will be conducted in a manner that will prevent migration of contaminants to ecological receptors (particularly in the river).

2.2 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS AND CLEANUP ACTIONS

The Site has a long history of investigation and cleanup activities which have been summarized below:

1996 - A Phase I and II investigation is conducted by S.W. Cole. Soil samples indicate total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and metals. As a result, eleven tons of petroleum-impacted soil is excavated from the Site.

2003 - Jacques Whitford is contracted to perform a site investigation as part of the initial steps for redevelopment of the Site. Soil samples results indicate diesel range organics (DRO), arsenic, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs.)

July 2005 - A release of PCB-containing oils reportedly from electrical equipment within the Mill is reported to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MEDEP). MEDEP contracts Environ to clean up the approximately 30-40 gallons of spilled oil.

October 2005 - Ransom Environmental Consultants is contracted to collect PCBs samples to support a TSCA PCB Self-Implementing Cleanup and Disposal Plan under 40 CFR § 761.61(a). Results indicate PCBs throughout the building, and sludge, dirt, debris, and oily materials that have accumulated in the building are removed. In June 2006, EPA approved a limited Phase I PCB removal project.

Page 13: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 5 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

May 2010 – GEI Consultants revises and performs the approved Self- Implementing Cleanup Plan. The cleanup includes temporary pea stone capping of exposed soil in the Mill, removal of accessible residual oil from fuel supply piping, and capping of accessible piping.

October 2010 – Summit and MEDEP collect surface soil samples from the exterior of the building. The results are sent as a memorandum to the Town of Windham and indicate PCBs in soil in the range of below laboratory detection limits to 1,100 mg/kg.

April 2011 – Summit collects concrete core samples from the building as well as more soil samples. The concrete cores results indicate PCBs concentrations above >1 mg/kg from each of the three floors of the building, with the highest concentration of 150 ppm in the first floor.

September 2012 – Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) personnel collect further samples. Soil and slag source samples show concentrations of PCBs and metals.

November 2015 – START personnel collect forty-four (44) concrete floor samples, nineteen (19) concrete wall samples, and four (4) wood boring samples.

March 2016 – START personnel collect forty-six (46) concrete floor samples, twenty-two (22) concrete wall samples, two (2) wood boring samples, four (4) putty/glazing samples, and seven (7) samples from the interior/exterior of the building for asbestos-containing material (ACM) analysis.

2.3 SOURCE, NATURE, AND EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION

As summarized in Table 1, the site has a long history of operations. Past Phase I reports have indicated the presence of PCB-containing electrical components at Keddy Mill, which suggest that electrical capacitors and transformers containing PCBs were used on Site historically. Sampling conducted by the EPA for the Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation Report (PA/SI, 2016) confirmed PCB contamination was widespread throughout the Mill building on all floors. Due to the age of the building and field observations, the EPA also collected samples of several suspected asbestos-containing materials from the interior and exterior of the building.

The Mill building concrete sampling conducted during the PA/SI indicated no exceedances of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), or metals above EPA Removal Management Levels for

Page 14: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 6 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

Industrial Soil. PCBs were detected in concrete and wood throughout the Mill building above the TSCA unrestricted use standard of 1 mg/kg and the Low Occupancy criteria of 25 mg/kg for porous samples. Asbestos was detected above the reporting limit in five of the seven samples collected. These samples have been summarized in Tables 2 and 3 and are depicted on Figures 2-4.

As PCBs and asbestos can pose a threat to the public health, welfare, or the environment, this EE/CA has been developed to identify and evaluate removal alternatives to prevent and mitigate exposure to these hazardous substances.

2.4 ANALYTICAL DATA

Multiple sampling rounds across a variety of media have taken place on Site over the past twenty years. This EE/CA is specifically pertaining to a NTCRA to address the Mill building and Mill building materials in the immediate vicinity at the Site.

The following data from the Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation Report (2016) was used to develop this EE/CA:

November 2015 – Forty-four (44) concrete floor boring samples (CB-01 through CB-44); nineteen (19) concrete wall boring samples (Wall-01 through Wall-19); and four (4) wood boring samples (WB-01 through WB- 04).

March 2016 – Forty-six (46) concrete floor samples (CB-100 through CB- 136, CB-206 A/B/C, CB-227 A/B/C, and CB-237 A/B/C); twenty-two (22) concrete wall samples (Wall-100 through Wall-121); two wood boring samples (WB-100 and WB-101); four putty/glazing samples (PT-100 through PT-103); and seven bulk asbestos samples (ACM-100 through ACM-104, MC-100, MC-101).

The PCB and ACM analytical results associated with these samples have been summarized in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. The estimated locations of these samples are depicted on Figures 2 through 4.

2.5 STREAMLINED RISK EVALUATION

The streamlined risk evaluation (SRE) is a unique type of risk assessment that EPA developed for use in NTCRA. Consistent with EPA EE/CA guidance (1993), the SRE is intermediate in scope; while it is more detailed than the limited risk evaluation conducted to support emergency removal actions, it is less detailed than a conventional baseline risk assessment typically conducted as part of a

Page 15: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 7 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

Remedial Investigation (RI)/Feasibility Study (FS). The purpose of a NTCRA is to reduce short-term threats to public health and the environment. Therefore, the primary objective of the SRE within the EE/CA is to justify a removal action and develop appropriate removal action alternatives to reduce risk. This is accomplished through the identification of exposure pathways that represent an immediate and/or acute threat to human receptor populations of concern or the environment.

Accordingly, a SRE has been conducted for the Site to focus on the potential exposures, hazards, and risks posed by the Mill building and Mill building materials (the Mill). As described in the EE/CA Work Plan, this SRE accomplishes the following:

Uses the data provided by the EPA to identify chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) through comparison to chemical-specific risk-based concentrations;

Provides an estimate of how and to what extent human receptors might be exposed to these COPCs; and

Provides an assessment of the human health risks associated with these COPCs.

Existing data provided by EPA is used in this SRE consistent with EPA guidance, including the “Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund” (USEPA, 1989) and “Framework for Investigating Asbestos-Contaminated Superfund Sites” (EPA, 2008). As described in the work plan, human receptors that would most likely contact COPCs are limited to on-Site field staff workers during the Site characterization activities and trespassers, both of whom may be exposed to Mill building materials through incidental ingestion, dermal contact, or inhalation of fugitive dusts from degraded materials currently present or released during Site characterization activities. No residential impacts are anticipated and, therefore, are not included in this evaluation.

This SRE focuses on the specific response action alternatives for the Mill, which consist of no action, partial demolition, and complete demolition. The SRE is qualitative in nature and does not quantify risk. The focused SRE provides sufficient detail to justify the response action identified for implementation. As stated in the EPA EE/CA guidance (1993), where chemical-specific risk-based concentrations for one or more constituents in a given medium are clearly exceeded, a removal action is generally warranted, and further quantitative assessment that considers all chemicals, their potential additive effects, or additive or multiple exposure pathways is generally not necessary.

Page 16: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 8 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

As stated previously, there are no ecological habitats associated with the Mill or Mill building materials (although ecological receptors are located immediately adjacent to the building in the river); however, any response action undertaken at the Site to address acute human health concerns would be expected to also result in beneficial outcomes for the environment. Any removal action taken will be conducted in a manner that will prevent migration of contaminants to ecological receptors (particularly in the river).

2.5.1 Identification of COPCs

As described in the EE/CA Work Plan, the first step in the SRE is to identify COPCs. Per the AOC, COPCs are defined as those contaminants present in the Mill and Mill building materials with concentrations in excess of EPA Regional Removal Management Levels (RMLs). RMLs are risk-based screening levels based on the latest toxicity values and exposure assumptions used by EPA’s Superfund program, developed specifically to support removal action decision- making. While they are not necessarily health protective concentrations for chronic exposure, they are useful for identifying potential acute human health concerns.

Representative wood and concrete boring samples were collected from the Mill’s interior walls, floors, and exterior concrete pads by Weston START personnel in November 2015. Putty/glazing samples, samples of ACM, and additional wood and concrete boring samples were collected by Weston START personnel in March 2016. All of the samples were analyzed for PCBs, and select samples were also analyzed for metals, VOCs, SVOCs, and petroleum hydrocarbons. ACM samples underwent bulk asbestos analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).

The analytical data from the samples collected by START are presented in the Removal Program Preliminary Assessment (PA)/Site Investigation (SI) Report prepared by Weston for EPA Region 1 (2016). In this report, the data are screened to EPA RMLs, or to other screening levels appropriate for removal action decision-making, including:

1. The MEDEP Cumulative Risk Based Soil Remediation Guideline for petroleum hydrocarbons;

2. The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) non-friable ACM standard, defined as materials containing >1% asbestos as analyzed by PLM. Although asbestos in ACM at and below 1% may still pose unacceptable health risks depending on site- specific conditions and land use; for the purposes of this SRE, a screening level of >1% asbestos as analyzed by PLM is used to establish asbestos as a COPC.

Page 17: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 9 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

3. The TSCA criteria for the cleanup and disposal of PCB contamination under 40 CFR § 761 .61(a), which prescribes the procedures for cleanup and disposal of PCB remediation waste, including waste generated as part of cleanup activities (e.g., contaminated environmental media, rags, debris).

Because there are no RMLs for concrete, wood, or putty media, results of these samples are compared to EPA RMLs for industrial soil set to a target hazard quotient (THQ) of 3ii. The relevant findings of the screening evaluation provided in the PA/SI Report (Weston, 2016) are as follows:

VOCs were not detected in any of the concrete samples.

SVOCs and metal results reported for concrete samples did not exceed the EPA RML for industrial soil.

Petroleum hydrocarbons results reported for concrete samples did not exceed MEDEP guidelines for outdoor commercial workers.

PCB results >1 ppm were reported for putty samples. These did not exceed the EPA RML for industrial soil.

PCB results for numerous concrete and wood samples located throughout the building were above the EPA RML for industrial soil and TSCA unrestricted use cleanup standard and the Low Occupancy criteria of 25 mg/kg for porous samples.

Chrysotile (asbestos) was detected at or above the standard of 1% in five of the seven samples collected.

The results presented above, while specific to the samples collected by START in 2015 and 2016, are consistent with site investigations conducted prior to 2015 with respect to PCBs and asbestos. According to the Final Site Assessment Report prepared by H&S/Nobis Environmental JV, LLC (2013), concrete core samples collected by Summit personnel in April 2011 found PCB concentrations at > 1 mg/kg throughout each of the three floors of the building (action levels not specified). An asbestos survey conducted in 2007, provided as Appendix D in the Conceptual Demo Plan (CES, 2016), identified numerous non-friable and

ii Generic RMLs correspond to risk levels of approximately 10-4 (cancer risk) and/or a HQ of 3

(non-cancer hazard). The generic RMLs are generally higher than those selected as final

cleanup levels at sites where a remedial action may be required under Superfund authority.

Page 18: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 10 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

friable ACM samples collected throughout the Mill that contained asbestos at concentrations greater than 1% as analyzed by PLM.

Based on the results presented above, PCBs and asbestos are the primary COPCs associated with the Mill and Mill building materials. For completeness as part of this SRE, a compilation of the PCB results for samples collected by START in 2015 and 2016 compared to EPA RML and TSCA screening levels is provided in Table 2. ACM results for samples collected by START in 2015 and 2016 are provided in Table 3.

2.5.1.1 Potential Human Receptors and Exposure Pathways

Human receptors that would most likely contact the COPCs are primarily on-Site field staff workers or trespassers, who may be exposed to Mill building materials through incidental ingestion, dermal contact, or inhalation of fugitive dusts from degraded materials currently present or released during Site characterization activities. Even though ACM at the Site exists primarily as large material (i.e., cement board, roofing material, floor tile, etc.) with a low “releasability” of respirable asbestos fibers, as noted by EPA (2008), over time, large non-respirable materials may become broken down by weathering and/or by mechanical forces (e.g., demolition activity), thus increasing the fraction of the material that exists as readily releasable fibers.

The risk-based screening levels are based on EPA industrial risk management levels (RMLs) which assume daily contact with soil over a standard work-year and work- life (i.e., 250 days/year for 25 years). Due to the shorter duration of the anticipated activities that may occur while at the Site, limited exposure to impacted Mill building materials is expected, with exposures that may be experienced by trespassers being far less than that considered within a typical industrial exposure.

Residential impacts are not anticipated and are therefore not included in this evaluation.

2.5.1.2 Potential Risk to Human Health

As stated in the PA/SI Report (Weston, 2016), and discussed previously, the porous building materials found at the Site including concrete, wood, and putty are all contaminated with varying levels of PCBs. The concrete floors are more contaminated than the walls, and the most elevated levels of contamination are found in the western half of the basement. Non-friable and friable ACM samples collected throughout the Mill contain asbestos at concentrations greater than 1% as analyzed by PLM.

Keddy Mill 11 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

Consideration of potentially acute risks that could be posed by exposures to COPC concentrations above risk-based screening levels will provide an immediate benefit to both human health and the environment. Thus, COPC concentrations above risk-based screening levels should be managed under the NTCRA.

3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF REMOVAL ACTION OBJECTIVES

Based on the results of the SRE, the overall goal of the removal action is to reduce exposure and minimize risks posed to human health from asbestos and PCBs in building materials at the Site. Open building access points identified at the Site pose a risk to Site trespassers. In addition, there is a risk of contaminants from the building being released to the environment, particularly to the river. The following preliminary RAOs were developed to reduce the risks to human and ecological receptors at and adjacent to the site:

Reduce exposure of humans to PCBs potentially related to open building access points;

Reduce the exposure of humans to physical hazards, and asbestos related to deteriorating Mill building materials; and

Reduce the threat of release of building contaminants into the river to protect ecological receptors consistent with the long-term cleanup goals.

These objectives will be achieved through attainment of the ARAR-based and risk-based goals. The NTCRA in this EE/CA would remove the primary source materials (i.e., building materials), which contain the highest known concentrations of asbestos and PCBs at the Site. Therefore, the scope of the removal action focuses on the removal of primary source materials.

3.1 SCOPE OF THE REMOVAL ACTION

The scope of the Removal Action will solely focus on the removal of the Mill building and Mill building materials which currently present a potential hazard to human health and the environment in the immediate term.

After the demolition is complete, but prior to demobilization, the site will be stabilized to ensure that:

Contamination from the demolition zone is covered;

Soil and/or contamination cannot migrate from the demolition zone into the river or other environments;

The West Wall maintains its structural integrity and the structural integrity of the adjacent hydroelectric dam; and

Keddy Mill 13 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

Grading at the site does not present a danger to human health.

While some sampling of the West Wall and the soil beneath the Mill may be performed during the NTCRA, the site will be fully characterized and mitigated during remedial activities.

3.2 REMOVAL ACTION SCHEDULE

This EE/CA Report and the Removal Action recommended herein, is subject to regulatory review, public comment, and issuance of an Action Memorandum by USEPA. After the regulatory review and public comment period, the identification of the removal action to be implemented, if any, will be finalized. Given these caveats, the projected schedule for the completion of this Removal Action is as follows:

Construction Document Preparation, Review, and Approval

6 to 12 months

USEPA Review and Approval of PCB Remediation Waste Disposal

2 to 3 months

Preparation of Final Design and Bid Specifications

3 to 4 months

Contractor Procurement 3 months

Implementation of Removal Action, including installation of water, sediment, and erosion controls; stabilization of western foundation wall; and final Site stabilization.

6 to 12 months

The timing of the removal action is dependent upon securing funding to perform the work and obtaining all necessary reviews, approvals, and acceptances from the various regulatory and public entities in a timely manner. The schedule will also be subject to weather and/or other similar unforeseen delays.

3.3 COMPLIANCE WITH ARARS AND OTHER CRITERIA

Section 121(d) of CERCLA requires that on-Site remedial, and to the extent practical removal actions attain or waive ARARs under federal or state environmental laws and regulations and state environmental and facility-siting laws and regulations. ARARs are defined as clean-up standards, standards of control, and other substantive environmental protection requirements, criteria, or limitations promulgated under federal or state law that specifically address a hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, remedial action, location, or other

Page 22: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 14 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

circumstances at a Site. A requirement under environmental laws may either be “applicable” or “relevant and appropriate” to a Removal Action, but not both. Applicable and relevant and appropriate, as defined by the USEPA (1991), are as follows:

Applicable requirements are clean-up standards, standards of control and other substantive requirements, criteria or limitations promulgated under federal environmental or state environmental or facility siting laws that specifically address a hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, remedial action, location or other circumstance at a CERCLA site.

Relevant and Appropriate requirements are clean-up standards, standards of control and other substantive requirements, criteria or limitations promulgated under federal environmental or state environmental or facility siting laws that, while not “applicable” to a hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, remedial action, location, or other circumstances at a CERCLA site, address problems or situations sufficiently similar to those encountered at the CERCLA site and are well suited to the particular Site.

To Be Considered (TBC) guidance is comprised of non-promulgated advisories or guidance issued by federal or state regulatory bodies that are not legally binding, but may be useful in developing CERCLA remedies; i.e., health effects information or guidance for determining clean-up levels. These ARARs and TBC guidance are divided into three categories: chemical-specific, action-specific, and location-specific requirements.

This section describes the ARARs and TBC guidance that may be applied to the removal action being evaluated within this EE/CA Report. In accordance with the National Contingency Plan (NCP) [40 CFR 300.415(j)], removal actions must comply with ARARs only “to the extent practicable considering the exigencies of the situation.”

3.3.1 Potential Chemical-Specific ARARs

Chemical-specific requirements establish health- or risk-based concentration limits or ranges for specific hazardous substances in various environmental media. These ARARs provide site clean-up levels or a basis for calculating clean- up levels for chemicals of concern. Chemical-specific ARARs are also used to indicate an acceptable level of discharge, to determine treatment and disposal requirements for a particular remedial activity, and to assess the effectiveness of a remedial alternative. The chemical-specific ARARs and TBC guidance identified for a Removal Action identified herein for the Site are presented in Table 4.

Page 23: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 15 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

3.3.2 Potential Location-Specific ARARs

Location-specific requirements establish restrictions on the types of remedial activities that can be performed based on specific Site characteristics or location. Location-specific ARARs provide a basis for assessing restrictions during the formulation and evaluation of Site-specific remedies. Remedial alternatives may be restricted or precluded based on standards, such as siting laws for hazardous waste facilities or based on proximity to wetlands, floodplains, or man-made features such as historic buildings or archeological sites. The location-specific ARARs and TBC guidance identified for a Removal Action for the Site are presented in Table 5.

3.3.3 Potential Action-Specific ARARs

Action-specific requirements establish controls or restrictions on the design, implementation, and performance of removal actions. These ARARs specify performance levels, actions, or options, and specific levels for the discharge of residual chemicals. They also provide a basis for assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of the remedial alternatives. The action-specific ARARs and TBC guidance identified for a removal for the Site are presented in Table 6.

3.3.4 Removal Action Objectives

The goals of the Removal Action are to effectively reduce the potential for exposures to an acceptable range, to mitigate impacts in a manner that improves protection of human health and the environment, and to achieve compliance with established ARARs to the maximum extent practicable. More specifically, the RAOs for this NTCRA include the following:

Reduce exposure of humans to asbestos fibers potentially released from building materials;

Reduce the exposure of humans to physical hazards, PCBs, and asbestos related to open building access points; and

Reduce the threat of release of building contaminants into the river to protect ecological receptors consistent with the long-term cleanup goals.

3.4 CONSISTENCY WITH REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES

The NTCRA, to the extent practicable, will contribute to the efficient performance of the long-term remedial action. The NTCRA will remove the Mill and associated material which will then not interfere with the remedial investigation and any future remedial action that may be required. It will assist the remedial investigation by providing access to the soil and river sediments beneath the building which is not currently accessible due to the dilapidated

Keddy Mill 16 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

condition of the building. In addition, procedures will be put in place to prevent the spread of contamination from the demolition zone.

A temporary coffer dam will be constructed (shown in Figure 1) to prevent building materials entering the river during demolition;

Mitigation measures (e.g. wetting) will be used to control dust during all removal activities;

Waste water generated from the removal action will be treated and disposed of on-site or off-site at a licensed facility;

The West Wall will be stabilized and sealed so that it:

o maintains the structural integrity of the West Wall;

o maintains the structural integrity of the adjacent hydroelectric dam; and

o minimizes the release of potential contamination on the West Wall; and

Shoreline stabilization measures will be used to prevent soil, etc. entering the river after the demolition is completed.

4.0 IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF REMOVAL ACTIONS

This section presents the identification and initial screening of potential Removal Action options for the NTCRA. Section 5.0 provides a comprehensive analysis of the resulting alternatives.

4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL REMEDIAL OPTIONS

The early action Removal Action options that meet the RAOs and are further assessed herein are presented below:

No action;

Partial Demolition; and,

Complete Demolition.

In the case of partial demolition, several sub-alternatives are available to accomplish this overall task, including several options to stabilize the West Wall (See Figure 1). Each of these options is discussed subsequently in this section.

4.1.1 No Action

CERCLA and the NCP require that the no-action alternative be evaluated at every site to establish a baseline for comparison. Under this alternative, no Removal Action of any kind would be employed. The no-action alternative will not reduce any risk associated with direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of impacted materials or releases to the environment; therefore, this alternative is not more protective of human health and the environment than the current condition.

Even though the no-action alternative does not meet the RAOs, it is retained as an alternative to serve as a basis for the comparison of performance of other alternatives.

4.1.2 Partial Demolition

Partial demolition would mitigate the risk to human health and the environment through demolition and off-site disposal of the building; however, the West Wall of the current Mill building would remain in place to maintain the stability of the river and the abutting hydroelectric dam facility structure. This option will include reviewing treatment and/or disposal of waste generated by demolition.

Page 26: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 18 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

A structural engineering survey was conducted on 2 October 2017 by Alfred Benesch & Company (Benesch) to assess the stability of site structures, specifically as they relate to the Presumpscot River and the hydroelectric dam. It was determined by Benesch (see Appendix A) that the, “West Wall of the current Mill building is the critical element for maintaining stability at the site upon demolition of the existing Mill building.” This is mainly owning to the fact that demolition would include the removal of the basement and first floor slabs, which appear to act as struts that laterally support the existing brick West wall. Furthermore, the West wall currently exhibits areas which are visibly buckling (Appendix C [Photo Log] to Appendix A). Therefore, demolition options presented below incorporate stabilization of the West Wall. In all partial demolition alternatives, geotechnical exploration will need to be conducted prior to temporary stabilization to further understand the subsurface conditions and parameters to effectively design the stabilization technique as well as to ensure the safety of the workers conducting the construction. It is possible that the geotechnical investigation may provide information which would change the selected remedy. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that partial demolition would be implemented using the following steps:

Temporary Stabilization of the West Wall – Soil nailing with temporary shotcrete facing would be installed to secure the wall during demolition activities. This is the most attractive temporary stabilization solution as it can be performed with limited access conditions.

Installation of Portable Cofferdam – An L-shaped portable coffer dam would be installed against the south end of the West Wall and along the stream. This dam would temporarily divert flow and prevent water from entering the demolition and construction area. This will protect the river from adverse impacts during demolition of the Mill, so the river ecosystem and downstream recreation areas are not impacted. If water is still flowing through the former sawmill penstocks and out the aqueducts under the West Wall, the inlets would be plugged to prevent the water flow into the demolition zone.

Demolition of the Mill – The basement slab and entire building with the exception of the West Wall below ground level would be demolished. Demolition would begin on the second floor and move down to the basement slab. Future structural analysis may determine that a small portion of the slab immediately adjacent to the West Wall would need to remain in place for stabilization. Mitigation measures (e.g. wetting) will be used to control dust that may contain site contaminants. Waste water generated from the removal action will be treated and disposed of on-site or off-site at a licensed facility. The bank along the Presumpscot River would be protected with erosion control measures such as silt fencing

Page 27: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 19 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

and a super-silt fence to prevent erosion into the river during demolition and construction activities.

Installation of a Retaining Wall – One of the three retaining wall alternatives presented in the structural engineering survey would be constructed as a permanent measure to stabilize the deteriorating West Wall. This step would not be necessary if the soil-nail wall alternative is chosen.

Site Restoration and Stabilization of the River Bank – Riverbank restoration and stabilization will be done in accordance with the requirement of the ARARs, to the extent practicable. Native plant species with erosion control mats would be planted at higher elevations for further slope stability. Note that any restoration or stabilization measures taken may only be temporary depending on whether additional Site alteration may be required under any future remedial action for the Site.

4.1.2.1 Retaining Wall Options

The three retaining wall options presented in the structural engineering survey report (Appendix A) are described below:

Alternative 2 - Soldier Pile and Concrete Lagging Wall

The Soldier Pile and Concrete Lagging Wall would consist of drilling soldier beams into bedrock below the river (assumed to be six to twelve feet below the building floor based on documentation and observations) at regular intervals along the wall. Lagging consisting of concrete panels would then be placed behind the front pile flanges and backfilled. The lagging acts to retain soil across the piles and transfers the lateral load to the soldier pile system.

It is anticipated that the soldier pile would be installed through the river bed. The slab between the existing West Wall and the beams would be reinforced to allow the lagging wall construction to begin at the current slab elevation. This would enable the river to continue flowing through the culverts and under the lagging wall.

Alternative 3 - Soil Nail Wall with Permanent Shotcrete Facing

A soil nail wall would involve the insertion of horizontal reinforcing elements (usually rebar) through pre-drilled holes into the existing failing wall and fill materials behind the wall. The nails would then be grouted in place. These “nails” would act to reinforce the existing West Wall by resisting lateral earth pressure. The wall would then be finished with a permanent shotcrete facing wall to help prevent the soil between the soil nails from becoming unstable. The

Page 28: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 20 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

alternative would use more robust and permanent soil nails than what is proposed for temporary stabilization measures.

Alternative 4 - Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Wall

A reinforced concrete cantilever wall with a large toe could be installed to retain the West Wall. Small “doors” would be cut through the bottom of the wall that is perpendicular to the riverbed to allow the river to flow through where the culverts currently exist.

4.1.2.2 Off-site Material Disposal

Although alternatives exist for possible on-site treatment of PCB- contaminated building materials, it was determined that the most feasible and cost- effective option would be off-site material disposal. Building material waste will be disposed of off-site in containers meeting the requirements of the DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) at 49 CFR parts 171 through 180 to an authorized PCB disposal facility.

The PCB-contaminated building material will be classified as PCB remediation waste as defined in 40 CFR § 761.3. The PCB remediation waste will be subdivided into two classifications less than (<) 50 mg/kg and greater than or equal to (≥) 50 mg/kg for disposal purposes. PCB remediation waste ≥ 50 ppm will be disposed of in a hazardous waste landfill or a PCB disposal facility, per 40 CFR §761.61(a)(5)(i)(B)(2)(iii). PCB remediation waste < 50 ppm will be disposed of in a municipal waste landfill or as otherwise allowed under 40 CFR §761.61(a)(5)(i)(B)(2)(ii). These disposal options are contingent upon EPA approval in accordance with 40 CFR § 761.61.

Removal and disposal of asbestos will be conducted by a licensed asbestos contractor in accordance with ARARs. Potential landfills have been identified for disposal of ACMs. However, if the ACM is also contaminated with PCBs, a disposal facility will need to be identified that can accept both PCBs and asbestos waste.

4.1.3 Complete Demolition

Complete demolition would mitigate the risk to human health and the environment through a complete demolition of the entire Mill, including the West Wall. Stability of the river and hydroelectric dam facility would be maintained through engineering the shoreline, which would include installing appropriate erosion control/stabilization measures and cover materials. This option would also include the review of treatment and/or disposal of waste generated by the demolition. This option is not preferred since the West Wall of

Page 29: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 21 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

the current Mill building has been identified by the hydroelectric facility operator as a critical structure for maintaining stability of the facility.

Further uncertainty is introduced for this option due to the presence of aqueducts at the base of the West Wall through which water is flowing. Historical references indicate that the open area immediately west of the West Wall was previously occupied by a former sawmill which was powered by river water flowing through subsurface penstocks. These penstocks may still exist beneath this area. During the investigation phase of the NTCRA, inlets containing flowing water were observed up-river of the hydroelectric dam.

The potential for contamination to be present on and behind the West Wall will be addressed either during the Pre-Design work for the NTCRA or during the on-going RI/FS.

4.2 ANALYSIS OF REMOVAL ACTIONS

As stated above, although the no-action alternative does not meet the RAOs it has been retained as an alternative in the detailed analysis to serve as a basis for the comparison of performance of other alternatives. All three partial demolition options have also been included for further analysis as all options have the potential to meet the RAOs and have been assessed as generally feasible to construct on Site.

Although complete demolition would be theoretically feasible and would meet the RAOs, it has been removed from further consideration as the West Wall has been identified as a critical structural element. The mass of soil behind the wall abuts the hydroelectric plant and the adjacent hydroelectric dam impoundment, and it is therefore vital to maintaining the stability of these structures. Removal of this wall would be theoretically possible but the cost would be orders of magnitude greater than partial demolition options. Furthermore, all three partial demolition options include reinforcing structures that would create a barrier between the old West Wall and possible sensitive receptors thus eliminating potential short-term exposure to human or ecological receptors, until any remaining risks can be addressed by the remedial action. As all partial demolition options are both significantly more feasible and cost-effective, complete demolition has been eliminated from further analysis.

Page 30: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 22 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

5.0 DETAILED ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

This section of the EE/CA report formulates alternatives compiled from the Removal Action options that have been retained through the screening process discussed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. Each of the resulting alternatives is considered potentially applicable for the NTCRA, and consists of elements of the various options as needed to address each risk consideration. The following Removal Action alternatives were configured for more comprehensive evaluation:

Alternative 1 – No Action; and

Partial Demolition

o Alternative 2 - Soldier Pile and Concrete Lagging Wall

o Alternative 3 - Soil Nail Wall with Permanent Shotcrete Facing

o Alternative 4 - Reinforced Concrete Cantilever Wall

Each of these Removal Action alternatives are further discussed and evaluated independently against the specific screening criteria below. Opinions of Probable Construction Cost for each of the alternatives were developed for incorporation into the comparative analysis, and are presented in Tables 7 through 9.

The removal action alternatives were evaluated against three screening criteria, as follows:

Effectiveness;

Implementability; and,

Cost.

The effectiveness criterion addresses the ability of an alternative to meet the RAOs, including overall protection of human health and the environment, attainment of ARARs and risk-based standards developed using TBC guidance, long-term effectiveness and permanence, short-term effectiveness, and reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume by treatment. The protection of human health and the environment considers the reduction, control, or elimination of risks at the Site through the use of engineering or institutional controls.

Attainment of ARARs and risk-based standards developed using TBC guidance considers the ability of Removal Actions to meet statutory and regulatory

Page 31: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 23 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

requirements. Long-term effectiveness and permanence includes consideration of the magnitude of risks associated with residuals or untreated waste at the Site relative to trespassers and the reliability of the removal action to maintain its integrity. Short-term effectiveness includes the consideration of community protection from air quality impacts, fugitive dust, and the transportation of hazardous materials; worker protection during implementation; environmental impacts; and the timeframe required to achieve protection. Reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume through treatment includes the consideration of CERCLA’s preference for treatment and the extent and irreversibility of treatment.

The implementability criterion addresses the technical and administrative feasibility of implementing an alternative, and the availability of various materials and services required during its implementation. Technical feasibility includes the consideration of the long-term reliability, prior application, and operational difficulties of an alternative as well as logistical, climate, and terrain limitations. Administrative feasibility includes the consideration of coordinating activities with regulatory agencies and obtaining easements, right-of-way agreements and approval of disposal sites. The availability of materials and services includes consideration of the availability and distance to off-Site materials suppliers and/or treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.

The cost criterion addresses the relative magnitude of capital costs. Capital costs consist of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include costs associated with construction, equipment, materials, transportation, disposal, analytical services, treatment, and operation. Indirect costs include expenses related to engineering, design, legal fees, permits, and start-up.

In addition, the potential for acceptance of an alternative by the state and the community is also considered in the implementation of a Removal Action.

5.1 ALTERNATIVE 1 – NO ACTION

No active response action would be implemented under this alternative. This alternative is not being proposed, but the “No Action” alternative must be evaluated at every site to establish a baseline for comparison.

5.1.1 Effectiveness

The No Action alternative does not protect public health or the environment. This option is not in compliance with ARARs. As the building materials have been identified as contaminated, this option is not viable for long-term effectiveness, short-term effectiveness, or reduction of toxicity/mobility/volume through treatment.

Page 32: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 24 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

5.1.2 Implementability

Since there are no active construction activities or engineering/administrative issues with this alternative, the no action alternative is readily implementable. However, State and Community acceptance of this alternative is unlikely.

5.1.3 Cost

There are no costs associated with this alternative.

5.2 ALTERNATIVES 2 TO 4 - PARTIAL DEMOLITION

5.2.1 Effectiveness

5.2.1.1 Overall Protection of Public Health and the Environment

All three partial demolition alternatives (Alternatives 2, 3, and 4) would involve the full demolition of the Mill building, excluding the existing West Wall below ground level due to stability issues. Although the West Wall would remain on-site, the installation of any one of the three wall stabilization designs would cover the potential contamination and thus minimize potential releases and exposure to human or ecological receptors. If contamination is present on the wall or in the soil behind, it will be addressed either during Pre-Design work for the NTCRA or during the remedial measures. The removal of the majority of the Mill building would greatly increase the overall protection to human health and the environment as the potential source of PCB and ACM contamination would be removed from the Site.

5.2.1.2 Compliance with ARARs and Other Criteria, Advisories, and Guidance

All partial demolition options would be implemented to comply with ARARs and with risk-based standards derived from TBC guidance identified in Tables 4-6 to the maximum extent possible.

As required under the federal Clean Water Act, EPA made a draft determination that partial demolition is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) to protect federal jurisdictional wetland and aquatic habitats on the site because (a) there is no practical alternative method that will achieve cleanup objectives with less adverse impact on federal jurisdictional wetlands and (b) all practical measures will be taken to minimize and mitigate any adverse impacts to federal jurisdictional wetlands and aquatic habitats from the work, to the extent practicable. All work within the 500-year floodplain of the river will be conducted so as to not impair floodplain resources or cause a

Page 33: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 25 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

significant loss of flood storage capacity within the waterway to the extent practicable.

No major issues with ARARs compliance have been identified at this time.

5.2.1.3 Long-term Effectiveness and Permanence

Partial demolition is an effective long-term alternative as it removes the primary source (the building and building materials), that currently represent a risk to human health and the environment, as discussed in Section 2.5.

According to the “Conceptual Demolition Work Plan” conducted by CES Inc. in March 2016, it was estimated that approximately 5,200 yd3 of concrete exists on Site along with an estimated 102 yd3 of recyclable steel. Although the West Wall would remain on site for all partial demolition options, as a conservative measure it has been assumed these estimates cover the entire amount of building materials which will be shipped off-site as PCB-contaminated waste. Furthermore, the asbestos identification survey (CES, 2016) also identified more than 43,000 ft2 of ACM on Site.

Partial demolition would provide an irreversible, permanent means of removal as most hazardous building material would be shipped off-site.

The installation of any one of the three wall stabilization designs would maintain the structural integrity of the West Wall and thus minimize releases of potential contamination on the wall and exposure to human or ecological receptors. Stabilization of the dilapidated wall will also address the safety issue posed should the wall collapse. The construction of the stabilization options would result in some risk due to the construction constraints; however, a carefully engineered construction plan will mitigate much of the construction-period risk. All three wall stabilization alternatives would provide a reliable, long-term solutions. However, Alternative 3 (permanent soil nail wall with shotcrete facing) is highly contingent on soil type and groundwater can negatively impact stability. These issues may contribute to a less effective long-term solution than the other partial demolition alternatives.

5.2.1.4 Reduction of Toxicity, Mobility, or Volume through Treatment

None of the proposed alternatives include treatment, except to the extent any water generated from the removal work requires treatment before discharge.

5.2.1.5 Short-Term Effectiveness

Although partial demolition provides the greatest long-term effectiveness, extreme care will need to be taken during demolition and construction activities

Page 34: Keddy Mill Superfund Site Engineering Evaluation/ Cost ...Keddy Mill 3 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018 2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

Keddy Mill 26 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

to provide the best protection to human and environmental sensitive receptors. Appropriate erosion control measures will be installed prior to any site activities including (but not limited to) silt fence, super silt fence, straw waddles, and erosion control blankets along the river bank. The placement of a cofferdam will provide protection to the river and river bank from loose building materials falling below into the river. Additionally, air monitoring and dust control will be conducted during demolition activities to provide protection to on-site workers as well as the surrounding community from asbestos and other site contaminants.

5.2.2 Implementability

5.2.2.1 Technical Feasibility

All partial demolition alternatives have been identified as currently feasible. As stated above, geotechnical explorations will need to be conducted prior to temporary stabilization to ensure the safety of the workers conducting the construction as well as the viability of stabilization. It is possible that these geotechnical surveys may provide information which would change the chosen alternative. However, it is not possible to currently predict these issues without further intrusive work. These alternatives are also feasible if the subsurface penstocks that powered the former sawmill are still in place with river water flowing through them, although the presence of flowing water under the building will present additional implementability challenges.

5.2.2.2 Administrative Feasibility

All partial demolition options are administratively feasible. As the demolition and retaining wall stabilization would take place above and along the Presumpscot River, it is anticipated a large amount of coordination would be needed across multiple agencies. Work will be carefully coordinated with the EPA and MEDEP to follow TSCA regulations as well as the Maine Natural Resources Protection Act and other ARAR requirements.

5.2.2.3 Availability of Services and Materials

The following presents a table of services and materials that would be necessary for partial demolition. No issues have been identified with regards to their availability.

5.2.2.4 State and Community Acceptance

A Notice will be placed in the local newspaper inviting the public to comment on this EE/CA during a 30-day public comment period.

Federal ARARs require EPA to specifically solicit public comment concerning potential impacts to federal jurisdictional wetlands and floodplain from the proposed river diversion and building demolition. In addition, EPA is soliciting public comment on its draft determination that partial demolition is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative for addressing site contamination while minimizing harm to wetland and aquatic habitats.

The State has also reviewed this EE/CA and provided comments on the document. They may submit additional comments during the Public Comment period.

The comments received will be addressed in a Responsiveness Summary in which EPA’s written responses to the comments will be documented. EPA’s Action Memorandum will take into account the comments received and will include the Responsiveness Summary as an attachment.

5.2.3 Cost

The direct/indirect costs for each of the three alternatives are summarized in Tables 7 through 9.

5.2.3.1 Direct & Indirect Capital Costs

Direct and indirect capital costs have been summarized for each partial demolition option in Tables 7 through 9.

Keddy Mill 28 Engineering Evaluation Cost Analysis Report May 2018

5.2.3.2 Long-Term Operation and Maintenance Costs

Annual visual inspections of the retaining wall supporting the West Wall would be conducted to confirm continued stability. All options are expected to have a lifespan of at least 50 years.

Annual O&M would consist of visual inspections and potential future structural assessments that may be required, which will be addressed as part of the remedial action.

6.0 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Each of the partial demolition alternatives were evaluated in Section 5.2. A comparative analysis of the alternatives relative to each other is described within this section to determine the respective advantages and disadvantages of each and to determine the most suitable action for implementation. The screening criteria utilized for individual alternative evaluation (including implementability, effectiveness, and cost) were also applied in this comparative analysis. The Summary of Comparative Analysis of Removal Actions is presented in Table 10.

In order to objectively compare the Removal Action alternatives, a weighted array was developed applying numerical weights and ratings to each of the screening criteria. Implementability and effectiveness were further subdivided for consideration of the specific components of those criteria. An appropriate relative weight for each component was assigned, from 0.5 to 1.5, for these subcategories; the relative weights are indicative of the significance of the contribution of that component to the overall criterion. Ratings between 1 (lowest) and 5 (highest) were assigned based upon a subjective evaluation of the degree to which each component satisfied the established goals. As noted in Table 10, the overall scores range from 54 to 66.75. This overall score is based on subjective input inherent in the process; nevertheless, the higher scores are indicative of anticipated overall performance of a particular remedy with respect to the other alternatives when considering the screening criteria and, therefore, assist in the decision-making process in conjunction with other evaluations.

The preferred Removal Action alternative should provide the optimum balance among the alternatives with respect to the screening criteria. Specifically, the preferred alternative must satisfy the RAOs, comply with ARARs, and be cost effective. Consequently, Alternative 2 – Soldier Pile and Concrete Lagging Wall is recommended as the preferred Removal Action alternative. Alternative 2 is consistent with the RAOs and had the highest overall score relative to the other alternatives when applying the screening criteria. The cost associated with this alternative is within the range of the other alternatives. Although Alternative 3 was the least expensive, this option is highly dependent on having the correct soil geology which is currently unknown. Further investigation may result in a more favorable rating for this option.

The other key factors that support this recommendation include the following:

The reduction of risk to human health through the removal of PCB contaminated building materials and ACM;

Leaving the Site in a condition that will not interfere with any future remedial actions that may be required;

The ability to structurally stabilize the West Wall so that it;

o does not pose a risk of collapse into the river or threaten to release contaminants that will pose a risk to human or ecological receptors; and

o Maintains the structural integrity of the adjacent hydroelectric dam.

The ability to reduce risk at a moderate cost in comparison to Alternative 3.

Clean Water Act (CWA)Section 404 (40

CFR 230.10, 33 CFR 320-330)Applicable

For discharge of dredged or fill material into water bodies or wetlands, there must be no practical alternative with less adverse impact on aquatic ecosystem; discharge cannot cause or contribute to violation of state water quality standard or toxic effluent standard or

jeopardize threatened or endangered (T&E) species; discharge cannot significantly degrade waters of U.S.; must take practicable steps to minimize and mitigate adverse impacts; must evaluate impacts on flood level, flood velocity, and flood storage capacity. Sets

standards for restoration and mitigation required as a result of unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources. EPA must determine which alternative is the “Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative” (LEDPA) to protect wetland and aquatic resources.

Demolition of the mill building over and adjacent to the river may impact federal jurisdictional wetlands. Activities effecting wetlands will be conducted in accordance with these requirements including, but not limited to, mitigation and/or restoration in place. EPA has determined the partial demolition alternative is the LEDPA because (a) there is no practical alternative method that will achieve cleanup objectives with less adverse impact and (b) all practical measures will be taken to minimize and mitigate

any adverse impacts from the work. Public comment will be solicited on EPA’s LEDPA finding in the EE/CA.

DATA REVIEW

GZA reviewed the above-referenced report documents, the mapped surficial and bedrock geology of the site, and our project files for pertinent subsurface information from GZA projects near the site. The focus of the review was the historic sequence of structures at the at the upstream end of the building demolition work area, where a new retaining wall is under consideration. For purposes of this document this area will be called the conceptual retaining wall location.

SITE VISIT

GZA’s Christopher Snow, P.E. visited the site with Steven Drechsler, P.E. of Benesch on October 2, 2017 and observed soil, bedrock and water conditions visible at the ground surface. During the visit, GZA was able to observe the visible portions of existing foundations, retaining walls and underground structures beneath the maintenance shop and melt building. INTERPRETATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Historic data revealed that at some point between 1871 and 1885, the Sebago Wood Board Company built a three story, brick mill building along the left bank of the Presumpscot River. Photos show the building was supported on a stone masonry base with four integral, brick, arch culverts that exited on the downstream side of the building. Around 1906, the Androscoggin Pulp Company built the Beater Building and Machine Shop, consisting of multi-story, reinforced concrete addition structures. Foundations for the additions were visible in the river during the site visit and were observed to consist of square spread footings, apparently built within the river, inside of timber cofferdams. The base floor level of the beater building consists of a reinforced concrete (structural) slab system, suspended above the flowing river. Based on the historical data, the conceptual retaining wall location is interpreted to be within the limits of the beater building, adjacent to the downstream side of the old mill building where it meets the upstream edge of the beater building. Additional owners used the site and made modifications for more recent metal manufacturing operations, but the basic foundation structures appear to remain in place at the conceptual retaining wall location. Most of the old mill building was demolished, however, portions of the stone masonry base remain in place. During the site visit, the stone masonry base was visible to a height of about 8 to 10 feet above the beater building floor, and a brick wall extended above that level. The brick wall is interpreted to be the remnant of the downstream exterior wall of the old mill building. Approximately 2 feet of the top of each of the four brick arch culverts was observed to extend above the beater building floor, and appeared to have a variable amount of miscellaneous and rubble fill. Variable amounts of flowing water were audible and or visible in three of the four arch structures. A surficial inflow to the arch culvert area was observed from the Presumpscot River, upstream of the dam.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS

GZA completed preliminary engineering evaluations for the project, including: assessing the design subsurface profile and engineering properties relative to retaining wall support and stability; and developing conceptual alternatives for a new retaining wall to support the upstream limit of the proposed building demolition.

Design Subsurface Profile

The following materials have been encountered at the site, listed in descending order below existing ground surface:

Fill: Sand and gravel with varying amounts of brick, stone, mortar and concrete rubble.

Alluvial Deposits: Silts and fine sand with variable amounts of gravel and organics.

Bedrock: Foliated Schist with Rock Quality Designations of 68 to 73 where cored, indicating good quality rock.

Based on the massive nature of the old mill building foundations and superstructure, we anticipate that the structure is supported on spread footings bearing directly on bedrock. Based on the shape of the brick arches beneath the old mill building and the observed remnants of timber cofferdams and footings observed on the west side of the beater building, we anticipate that subsurface conditions at the conceptual wall location include man-made structures and rubble fill overlying bedrock. The depth to bedrock is unknown, but based on the previously referenced available information and observations made at the site, may be on the order of 6 to 12 feet below the beater building floor. Evaluation of Alternative Wall Types

Constructability of a wall at the conceptual wall location will be highly dependent on the depth to bedrock. The discussions that follow assume that bedrock is approximately 6 feet below the beater building floor level. This assumption should be confirmed using test borings. It appears that the beater building basement and first floor slabs currently act as struts that laterally support and restrain the existing brick wall at the conceptual wall location. Demolition and removal of these floor systems is likely to destabilize the existing wall. Therefore, it will be necessary to temporarily support the earth behind the existing brick wall, and the wall itself, so the beater building can be demolished. Temporary support could be in the form of wales with raker bracing, wales with rock-socketed tiebacks, soil nailing, or soldier beams and lagging. Wales with raker bracing is a technically feasible method to replace the existing strut support, but the rakers are impractical since they would be located in the expected demolition area. Rock-socketed tiebacks are technically feasible, but may be difficult to construct since the tiebacks would need to penetrate the brick arches and a potentially significant associated void space to reach the bedrock. Soil nailing with temporary shotcrete facing represents a more constructible solution since it can be performed in limited-access conditions with little or no demolition in advance. Although technically feasible

for temporary support, installation of soldier beams and lagging is anticipated to create significant disturbance near the existing brick wall due to vibration and modifications needed to access the locations with large drilling equipment. Therefore, soil nailing is considered the preferred alternative for initial stabilization of the existing brick wall. Technically-feasible permanent wall types include but are not limited to a reinforced concrete cantilever wall bearing on bedrock, a drilled soldier beam and lagging wall, and a permanent soil nail wall with shotcrete facing. Construction of the reinforced concrete cantilever wall or the soldier beam and lagging wall would require soil nailing or other temporary stabilization of the existing wall prior to construction. The drilled soldier beam and lagging and permanent soil nail wall systems could be installed on/through the existing floor. Several sketches are attached to illustrate the wall concepts. Sketch 1 shows the conceptual wall location and general elevation Sketches 2 through 4 show the three concepts for the permanent wall system. Given the suspect condition of the existing masonry and brick wall, there is potential risk for failure of the existing brick wall during stabilization operations. The use of soil nails and a reinforced concrete facing is intended to reduce this risk. Though some risk of destabilization of the existing wall also exists with the installation of the soil nail wall, the operation produces less vibration than soldier beam installation. Initial soil nail installation locations can be chosen to provide the greatest benefit for overall stability. Risk would be reduced with every successive anchor installation until the facing is completed and the existing wall is fully stabilized. Given that there is flowing water through the four brick arch culverts along the conceptual wall line, plugging the culverts would likely result in increased water pressures on the upstream face, that could lead to instability of the new wall, if not mitigated. Blockage may also change subsurface seepage patterns and has the potential to cause elevated hydrostatic pressures or other detrimental effects on the powerhouse and other walls nearby. Consequently, it will be necessary to consider means to divert the flow away from the upstream face of the new wall or design the wall to manage the seepage. The soil nail and soldier beam and lagging alternatives could have a base level at the top of the brick arches that would allow the brick arches to remain open to allow continued seepage. Water that might accumulate behind the cantilever wall alternative could be controlled using a foundation drainage system or French drain on the uphill side, that allows drainage through penetrations in the face. Conceptual Cost Estimates

GZA developed conceptual level cost estimates for three alternative wall concepts as summarized in the table that follows. It was assumed that the existing floor system would remain in place during construction until the new system provides lateral stability for the wall.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Three technically-feasible alternatives are provided for the new retaining wall at the conceptual wall location: a soldier beam and concrete lagging wall, a soil nail wall, and a reinforced concrete cantilever wall. We assumed that construction of the reinforced concrete cantilever wall and the soldier beam and lagging wall would require installation of a temporary soil nail facing to support the existing brick wall until the new wall is completed. Significant uncertainty exists in the nature and consistency of the fill within the soil nail anchor zone, and the depth to, and nature of, the bedrock at the conceptual wall location. We recommend that a series of borings be drilled to assess the fill in the soil nail anchor zone and the depth and quality of bedrock along the conceptual retaining wall line to allow better interpretation of how the existing subsurface conditions will impact the wall type selection and design. The estimated cost of these geotechnical explorations is $30,000 as noted in the table above. We recommend that a program be developed to further assess the source of the water in the culverts, and evaluate means to divert or otherwise manage that flow such that it will not adversely affect existing or proposed structures. This seepage analysis should be completed, regardless of the selected design alternative. The design fees for each alternative include $12,000 to cover the estimated cost of a seepage analysis for this site. The table above provides the estimated costs for geotechnical design including seepage analysis, geotechnical engineering analyses for the wall system, and preparation of geotechnical aspects of contract plans and specifications.
