1. INTRODUCTION

The Consent Decree in United States of America, et al. vs. Reilly Tar & Chemical Corporation, et ai. (U.S. District Court, Minnesota, Civil No. 4-80-469) was signed by Judge Magnuson on September 3, 1986, and entered by the Court on the following day. The effective date of the Consent Decree is therefore September 4,1986 (see Part EE of the Consent Decree).

The Consent Decree requires various actions to be taken by Reilly Industries, Inc. (Reilly), the City of St. Louis Park (City), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), and/or the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). These actions are required by the Consent Decree itself, by the Remedial Action Plan (CD-RAP) (Exhibit A to, and an integral and enforceable part of the Consent Decree, per Part F thereof), or by an Agreement between Reilly and the City (Reilly/City Agreement) (Exhibit B to, and an integral and enforceable part of the Consent Decree, per Part Q thereof, as to the rights and responsibilities between Reilly and the City).

This Annual Progress Report (Report) submitted in accordance with the requirements of Part K of the Consent Decree describes actions taken to implement the requirements of the Consent Decree from January 1 through December 31, 2002. This Report also describes activities scheduled for calendar year 2003, as required by Part K. Two other annual reports are required and are submitted by March 15 of each year under separate cover. The Annual Monitoring Report presents all chemical analyses and water level measurements for that calendar year that are not presented in other reports. The second annual report is the Annual Performance Report for granular activated carbon treatment system. This report discusses chemical analyses and pumping requirements for SLP10 or SLP15 and for SLP4.

As an aid to the reader in following the progress of the many activities involved, this Report provides separate descriptions of completed and scheduled activities required by the Consent Decree (Report Sections 2.0 and 3.0, respectively) and by the CD-RAP (Report Sections 4.0 and 5.0, respectively). Within each section, areas of activity are discussed in the order in which they are discussed in the Consent Decree and CD-RAP.

2. COMPLETED CONSENT DECREE ACTIVITIES

Part K of the Consent Decree requires that Reiily submit annual progress reports to the USEPA and MPCA by March 15, which describe actions taken to implement the requirements of the Consent Decree during the previous year and describe activities scheduled for the year in which the report is released. The City, on behalf of Reiily, submitted the 2001 Annual Progress Report on March 15,2002, pursuant to the requirements of Part K, of the Consent Decree.

Part O of the Consent Decree states that Reiily, the City, the USEPA, or the MPCA may change its designated Project Leader and altemate by notifying the other Parties, in writing, of the change. No notifications were made.

Part Y of the Consent Decree requires Reiily to provide the USEPA and MPCA with current certification of insurance for certain specified coverage. Reiily wrote the USEPA and MPCA on July 7, 1987, to request that the excuse granted to Reiily on October 7, 1986, from meeting certain notification requirements for insurance cancellation is extended to July 1, 1988. The USEPA and MPCA approved this request on September 9, 1987. On March 28, 1991, Reiily submitted certificates of insurance for liability coverage; indicating excess coverage was in place. Reiily submitted information in partial compliance with Part Y and informed the Agencies that reasons necessitating an excuse continued to be valid, thereby causing it to request further extension of the excuse (relating to the language of the insurance certificates). As of December 31,2002, no response had been received from the Agencies.

Part Z of the Consent Decree required Reiily to deliver to the Unites States and State of Minnesota by May 31 of each year, a certificate prepared by Reill/s certified public accounting firm which sets forth whether Reill/s consolidated performance is in accord with the requirements established in the Consent Decree.

Reiily has completed a Stipulation and Order to amend Part Z of the Consent Decree. All parties of the Consent Decree have signed the document, and Judge Magnuson signed it on November 5, 1999. Reiily will demonstrate future financial assurance, by May 31 of each year, by certifying that Reiily satisfies the requirements of 40 C.F.R. §264.143(f). Reiily submitted the required certificate in accordance with Part Z of the Consent Decree.

3. SCHEDULED CONSENT DECREE ACTIVITIES

Part P of the Consent Decree addresses the issue of securing access agreements to conduct the various activities contemplated in the CD-RAP. in the past, the City has commenced negotiations with various parties from whom access authori^tion must be attained based upon the content of Agency correspondence dated May 3,1989. Said correspondence approved a revision in access agreement language for certain properties owned by the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board; however, the Agendes indicated they would review each agreement on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, individual negotiations will be initiated with each affected property owner whereon the City must perform Consent Decree related activities in 2002 in an effort to secure similar agreements to those which were approved by the Agendes on May 3,1989. No additional access agreements were made during 2002.

Part Q of the Consent Decree acknowledges the Reilly/City Agreement as Exhibit B to, and an enforceable part of the Consent Decree. Section 2 of the Reiily/City Agreement provides that by September 3, 1990, if necessary to avoid sanitary sewer charges on the discharge from wells W23, the Drift-Platteville Aquifer source control; wells and gradient control well, Reiliy shall plan, obtain necessary permits for, and construct a treatment fadiity and piping to allow effluent from the wells to be discharged to a stono sewer. As noted in Section 2 of the 1991 Annual Progress Report, a treatment fadiity was made operational in 1991, treating water discharged from wells W23, and the Drift-Platteville Aquifer source control wells (W420 and W421). To date, no decision has been made on the disposition of the discharge from Drift-Piatteviile Aquifer gradient control wells (W434 and W439), or the St. Peter Aquifer gradient control well (W410).

Section 9 of the Reiiiy/City Agreement provides for the payment by one party of costs incurred by the other party or the sharing by the parties thereto of costs incurred by one party in the implementation of the CD-RAP, Within 30 days of the dose of the calendar quarter, in which the costs were incurred, the party incurring the costs shall issue a detailed statement of costs, including supporting documentation, and within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the owing party shall pay to the other its share of the costs. It is antidpated the parties will respond to said submittals in accordance with the provisions of the Reiiiy/City Agreement, or any other agreement between the City and Reiiiy.

Part T of the Consent Decree addresses compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations when implementing the Consent Decree. Among its provisions is the requirement that the USERA and MPCA approve any fadlity used for off-site disposal of hazardous substances generated during work undertaken pursuant to the Consent Decree. If either Reilly or the City propose to use a facility in 2003, the Agencies must confirm the status of the facility before the shipment of hazardous wastes commences.

Part Y of the Consent Decree requires Reilly to provide the USEPA and MPCA with current certification of insurance for certain specified coverage. Appropriate documentation is due in 2003.

Part Z of the Consent Decree currently requires Reilly to deliver to the United States and State of Minnesota by May 31, 2002, a certificate prepared by Reill/s certified public accounting firm which sets forth whether Reill/s consolidated performance is in accord with the new requirements set forth in the recently amended Consent Decree.

Section 7.2.7 of the CD-RAP requires Reilly to pump SLP4 at its capacity (900 gpm or as near as practicable) during the months of January through April and October through December and 300 gpm from May through September during each calendar year. Section 2(a) of the Reilly/City Agreement provides that the City assume this obligation for Reilly. A summary of the

2002 monthly pumping data is presented on Table 4-4. The control system for the well was replaced during February and March. During this time the well was turned off. The City achieved an average pumping rate of 652 gpm during 2002.

Section 7.3 of the CD-RAP requires Reilly to monitor the Prairie du Chien-Jordan Aquifer as specified in Section 3 of the CD-RAP. Section 2(a) of the Reilly/City Agreement provides that the City will assume this obligation for Reilly. The City in compliance with Sections 3 and 7.3 of the CD-RAP completed monitoring of the aquifer, and information relative to the monitoring can be found in the 2002 Annual Report to be submitted pursuant to Section 3.4 of the CD-RAP.

Groundwater modeling has indicated that well SLP6 would be an effective addition to the Prairie du Chien-Jordan Aquifer gradient control system, if needed. However, the immediate need for pumping well SLP6 has not been demonstrated. Therefore, the City has obtained a NPDES permit for discharging well SLP6 to Minnehaha Creek. If monitoring data indicates the need for modifications to the gradient control system, then the City will begin pumping well SLP6.

4.6 CD-RAP Section 8

Section 8.3 of the CD-RAP authorizes the USEPA and MPCA to require Reilly to install and operate a gradient control well system for the purpose of preventing the further spread of groundwater exceeding any of the Drinking Water Criteria defined in CD-RAP Section 2.2 in the St. Peter Aquifer. Section 2(a) of the Reilly/City Agreement provides that the City complete this task on behalf of Reilly. In response to April 1, 1991, correspondence from the Agencies on the issue, the City placed W410 in service on May 30,1991.

A summary of the 2002 W410 pumping data is presented in Table 4-5. Table 4-5 indicates well W410 was pumped in substantial compliance with the CD-RAP, and the yearly average pumping rate for well W410 was approximately 65 gpm.

Monitoring of St. Peter Aquifer monitor wells occurred in accordance with the provisions of the 2002 Sampling Plan. These data and a report on the effectiveness of well W410 as a gradient control well can be found in the 2002 Annual Report to be issued by March 15, 2003 pursuant to Section 3.4 of the CD- RAP.

4.7 CD-RAP Section 9

Section 9.1.3 of the CD-RAP requires Reiliy to operate the Drift-Platteville Aquifer source control

wells at a monthly rate of 25 gpm and monitor them on a quarterly basis. Section 2(a) of the Reilly/City Agreement provides that the City operate the wells beginning the day pumping is started and monitor them as required. Accordingly, the City has operated the wells and has performed necessary periodic inspections as outlined in a plan approved under Section 9.1.1 of

the CD-RAP.

Summaries of the 2002 monthly pumping date for wells W420 and W421 are presented in Tables

4-6 and 4-7, respectively. Well W420 maintained an average monthly pumping rate of 33.9 gpm while the average pumping rate for W421 was 26.7 gpm for 2002. Pumping occurred without incident in 2002.

Monitoring of the Drift-Platteville Aquifer source control wells occurred on a quarterly basis pursuant to the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 9.1.3 of the CD-RAP. A report of the results can be found in the 2002 Annual Report issued pursuant to Section 3.4 of the CD-RAP.

In accordance with CD-RAP, Sections 9.2.3 and 9.5.1, the City began pumping well W439 (the Northern Area Drift Aquifer Gradient Control well) at 50 gpm in January 1996. A summary of the 2002 pumping data of the Northern Area Drift Aquifer Gradient Control well is presented in Table 4-8. Well W439 pumped at a monthly average rate of 52.1 gpm.

Monitoring of the Northem Area Drift Aquifer Gradient Control well occurred on a quarterly basis pursuant to the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 9.2.3 of the CD-RAP. A report of the results can be found in the 2002 Annual Report issued pursuant to Section 3.4 of the CD-RAP.

In accordance with CD-RAP, Section 9.7.2, the City began pumping well W434 on June 10, 1997. Monitoring of well W434 was completed in accordance with the 2002 Sampling Plan. The pump began to slow down during November and December and has since been pulled for maintenance. The City maintained a monthly average pumping rate of 26.7 gpm for well W434.

4.8 CD-RAP Section 10

Section 10.1.1 and 10.2.1 of the CD-FRAP requires Reilly to submit to the USEPA, MPCA and MDH a plan for investigating certain multi-aquifer wells that may be adversely affecting the Mt. Simon-Hinckley, Ironton-Galesville, Prairie du Chien-Jordan and St. Peter Aquifers.

On July 6,1995, the MPCA issued a letter to the City and Reilly, regarding review of the report for Leaking Deep Multi-Aquifer Wells and St. Peter Aquifer Multi-Aquifer Wells. In these reports, the City stated that no further St. Peter and Deep Multi-Aquifer wells are believed to exist in the study area that require abandonment. The Agencies' July 6, 1995, letter approved both of these reports. No further work is required at this time.

4.9 CD-RAP Section 11

Section 11.5.1 of the CD-RAP requires the City to prepare a plan, which addresses, among other things, actions to place an adequate soil and vegetative cover as needed to prevent soil erosion on city parks on the Site. The City submitted a Construction Plan to the Agencies on February 10, 2002. The plan outlined a proposed redevelopment project to upgrade park facilities on the Reilly site. On March 14, 2002, the Agencies required all materials found to contain PAH greater than 100 parts per million to be removed from the site. The City responded in an April 5, 2002 letter with a plan to pre-screen all soils to identify which soils could remain on site as part of the new landscape.

The City began park redevelopment during 2002. The soccer fields were redeveloped to provide irrigation and lighting, two new parking lots were constructed at the site, and a new park building was erected. Numerous upgrades in the sanitary and storm sewers were required during these construction activities. During this upgrade of park facilities, approximately 3,700 tons of soil containing PAH was removed from the site and disposed of at the FCR landfill. ENSR submitted a construction report to the Agencies on December 5, 2002 detailing all activities that occurred on the site.

4.10 CD-RAP Section 12

The Utility Superintendent has the responsibility to review all data upon receipt from laboratory and notify the Project Leader and Agencies of all exceedences of the Drinking Water Criteria in any municipal well, as outlined in Section 12.1.1 of the CD-RAP. No exceedences to the Drinking Water Criteria occurred in a Municipal well in 2002.
