10 INTRODUCTION
This Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan has been prepared by ABB Environmental Services Inc
(ABB-ES formerly C-E Environmental) on behalf of CPC International Inc (CPC) The FS will
address Operable Unit (OU) No 1 of the PetersonPuritan Inc Site in Cumberland Rhode Island
(Figure 1-1)
The FS program will be conducted hi accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA
Interim Final (USEPA 1988) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (USEPA 1990)
The purpose of this Work Plan is to describe ABB-ES approach to conducting the FS for OU 1
The remainder of Section 10 presents a brief site description and history Section 20 of this Work
Plan describes the components of the FS process and Section 30 presents the project organization
and schedule
11 SITE DESCRIPTION
The following site description and environmental setting was derived from various primary
references and initially compiled for the Remedial Investigation Report for the PetersonPuritan
Inc Site prepared by ABB-ES in February 1990
The CCL Custom Manufacturing Inc plant (formerly PetersonPuritan Inc) is located near the
village of Berkeley on Martin Street in the Town of Cumberland Rhode Island The site study area
as defined in the Consent Order of 1987 includes the CCL plant and extends approximately two
miles down the Blackstone Valley and as much as one-half mile to the northeast and to the
southwest of the Blackstone River (Figure 1-1)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received

10 INTRODUCTION
This Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan has been prepared by ABB Environmental Services Inc
(ABB-ES formerly C-E Environmental) on behalf of CPC International Inc (CPC) The FS will
address Operable Unit (OU) No 1 of the PetersonPuritan Inc Site in Cumberland Rhode Island
(Figure 1-1)
The FS program will be conducted hi accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA
Interim Final (USEPA 1988) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (USEPA 1990)
The purpose of this Work Plan is to describe ABB-ES approach to conducting the FS for OU 1
The remainder of Section 10 presents a brief site description and history Section 20 of this Work
Plan describes the components of the FS process and Section 30 presents the project organization
and schedule
11 SITE DESCRIPTION
The following site description and environmental setting was derived from various primary
references and initially compiled for the Remedial Investigation Report for the PetersonPuritan
Inc Site prepared by ABB-ES in February 1990
The CCL Custom Manufacturing Inc plant (formerly PetersonPuritan Inc) is located near the
village of Berkeley on Martin Street in the Town of Cumberland Rhode Island The site study area
as defined in the Consent Order of 1987 includes the CCL plant and extends approximately two
miles down the Blackstone Valley and as much as one-half mile to the northeast and to the
southwest of the Blackstone River (Figure 1-1)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-1
SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received

10 INTRODUCTION
This Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan has been prepared by ABB Environmental Services Inc
(ABB-ES formerly C-E Environmental) on behalf of CPC International Inc (CPC) The FS will
address Operable Unit (OU) No 1 of the PetersonPuritan Inc Site in Cumberland Rhode Island
(Figure 1-1)
The FS program will be conducted hi accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA
Interim Final (USEPA 1988) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (USEPA 1990)
The purpose of this Work Plan is to describe ABB-ES approach to conducting the FS for OU 1
The remainder of Section 10 presents a brief site description and history Section 20 of this Work
Plan describes the components of the FS process and Section 30 presents the project organization
and schedule
11 SITE DESCRIPTION
The following site description and environmental setting was derived from various primary
references and initially compiled for the Remedial Investigation Report for the PetersonPuritan
Inc Site prepared by ABB-ES in February 1990
The CCL Custom Manufacturing Inc plant (formerly PetersonPuritan Inc) is located near the
village of Berkeley on Martin Street in the Town of Cumberland Rhode Island The site study area
as defined in the Consent Order of 1987 includes the CCL plant and extends approximately two
miles down the Blackstone Valley and as much as one-half mile to the northeast and to the
southwest of the Blackstone River (Figure 1-1)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-1
SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received

10 INTRODUCTION
This Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan has been prepared by ABB Environmental Services Inc
(ABB-ES formerly C-E Environmental) on behalf of CPC International Inc (CPC) The FS will
address Operable Unit (OU) No 1 of the PetersonPuritan Inc Site in Cumberland Rhode Island
(Figure 1-1)
The FS program will be conducted hi accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA
Interim Final (USEPA 1988) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (USEPA 1990)
The purpose of this Work Plan is to describe ABB-ES approach to conducting the FS for OU 1
The remainder of Section 10 presents a brief site description and history Section 20 of this Work
Plan describes the components of the FS process and Section 30 presents the project organization
and schedule
11 SITE DESCRIPTION
The following site description and environmental setting was derived from various primary
references and initially compiled for the Remedial Investigation Report for the PetersonPuritan
Inc Site prepared by ABB-ES in February 1990
The CCL Custom Manufacturing Inc plant (formerly PetersonPuritan Inc) is located near the
village of Berkeley on Martin Street in the Town of Cumberland Rhode Island The site study area
as defined in the Consent Order of 1987 includes the CCL plant and extends approximately two
miles down the Blackstone Valley and as much as one-half mile to the northeast and to the
southwest of the Blackstone River (Figure 1-1)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-1
SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

10 INTRODUCTION
This Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan has been prepared by ABB Environmental Services Inc
(ABB-ES formerly C-E Environmental) on behalf of CPC International Inc (CPC) The FS will
address Operable Unit (OU) No 1 of the PetersonPuritan Inc Site in Cumberland Rhode Island
(Figure 1-1)
The FS program will be conducted hi accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA
Interim Final (USEPA 1988) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (USEPA 1990)
The purpose of this Work Plan is to describe ABB-ES approach to conducting the FS for OU 1
The remainder of Section 10 presents a brief site description and history Section 20 of this Work
Plan describes the components of the FS process and Section 30 presents the project organization
and schedule
11 SITE DESCRIPTION
The following site description and environmental setting was derived from various primary
references and initially compiled for the Remedial Investigation Report for the PetersonPuritan
Inc Site prepared by ABB-ES in February 1990
The CCL Custom Manufacturing Inc plant (formerly PetersonPuritan Inc) is located near the
village of Berkeley on Martin Street in the Town of Cumberland Rhode Island The site study area
as defined in the Consent Order of 1987 includes the CCL plant and extends approximately two
miles down the Blackstone Valley and as much as one-half mile to the northeast and to the
southwest of the Blackstone River (Figure 1-1)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-1
SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

SECTION 1
The field investigations associated with the Remedial Investigation (RI) have addressed the site study
area with focus on what is referred to herein as the Primary Source Area OU 1 (Figure 1-2) This
FS addresses only OU 1 contaminant problems which encompasses the industrial park and the area
on the eastern side of the Blackstone River extending down the valley from the Lonza Inc facility
now owned by Pacific Anchor Chemical (PAC) to a point approximately 2000 feet south of the CCL
plant
The Blackstone River meanders through the valley on a comparatively flat floodplain between
subdued river terraces The industrial park facilities are located on the northeastern (Cumberland)
side of the river The CCL plant is located at the boundary between the valley sediments and the
steeper bedrock upland The PAC facility is located at the base of the upland and most of the other
industrial facilities in the area are underlain by the valley sediments
A small stream referred to in this investigation as Brook A flows westward between the PAC and
CCL plants turns south along the Providence amp Worcester railroad tracks and then is culverted
along Martin Street westward to the Blackstone River This drainage feature carries primarily
industrial and some stormwater discharges to the river
The Blackstone River and Blackstone Canal are located at the boundary OU 1 The rivers
headwaters begin in Worcester Massachusetts and discharge into tidewaters in the Pawtucket-
Providence area The canal flows parallel to the river and was historically used to transport
materials by barge within the local river corridor
1J SITE HISTORY
The Blackstone Valley was settled in the Seventeenth Century and became one of the earliest sites
of the Industrial Revolution in America The river provided power supplied water and served as a
conduit for material transportation and wastewater discharge Many of the industrial plants in the
valley discharged untreated wastewaters directly to the Blackstone River before regulations were
enacted Metcalf amp Eddy (September 1948 p 11) estimated that within the Blackstone Valley
Sewer District (BVSD) there were approximately 34 million gallons per day (mgd) of industrial
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-2
SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

SECTION 1
wastewater being discharged directly to streams and approximately 35 mgd discharged to sewers
The industrial wastewaters had high levels of dissolved organic matter
In a study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Johnston and Dickerman (1974b) concluded that
waters of the Blackstone River were degraded by organic wastes derived chiefly from municipal
sewage and textile mills By 1983 the Blackstone River in the area of the CCL plant was rated as
Class C under the Clean Water Act of 1972 Class C includes surface waters that are suitable for
fish and wildlife habitat recreational boating and industrial processes and cooling and that have
good aesthetic value Class C waters are not suitable for bathing other recreational uses
agricultural uses or public water supply (even after treatment)
Groundwater from the Blackstone Valley aquifer was first developed in the study area as a
municipal water supply source in 1950 when the Town of Cumberland installed the Martin Street
well The Town of Lincoln installed three wells in the Quinnville wellfield area west of the
Blackstone River between 1957 and 1975 By 1979 the Martin Street well was closed due to
elevated concentrations of iron and manganese The Quinnville wellfield was also shut down in the
1970s due to iron and manganese concentrations exceeding federal drinking water standards and the
unsuccessful attempt to obtain federal grants to remove these inorganics
Johnston and Dickerman (1974) observed that recharge induced from streams is the principal source
of water to the most heavily pumped wells in the Blackstone River area and that under conditions
of sustained pumping most wells close to streams derive virtually all of their water from streamflow
They concluded that infiltration of organically contaminated streamflow was a possible causative
factor of high manganese concentrations in water from heavily pumped wells
The pesticide dieldrin which was commonly used in textile mills from 1959 to 1979 for the
permanent moth-proofing of wool was detected in monthly water samples taken from the Quinnville
wellfield by the Rhode Island Department of Health from 1974 to 1977 at concentrations ranging
from estimated values below the detection limit to 017 micrograms per liter (^g1) (Malcolm Pirnie
1983)
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT
The Draft FS Report will be produced to compile the Initial Screening of Alternatives and Detailed
Analysis of Alternatives Additionally the Draft FS Report will include a comparative analysis of

SECTION 1
During a routine state-wide testing program for municipal wells in October 1979 by the Rhode
Island Department of Health volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from a limited suite of analytes
were detected in the Quinnville wells Chemicals found to be present in these wells were 111shy
trichloroethane and tetrachloroethene Some of the concentrations exceeded USEPA guidance
concentrations for drinking water causing the Quinnville wellfield to be closed (GZA 1982) Several
attempts were made by the Town of Lincoln to flush the contaminants but no long term
improvement in the water quality was achieved From 1979 to 1981 the Lincoln Water Department
periodically used one or more of the affected wells when contaminant concentrations declined below
the USEPA drinking water standards but with those exceptions the wells have remained closed
since October 1979
With the expansion of the municipal water supply systems residential wells in Cumberland and
Lincoln were abandoned There are no known residential wells currently operating in the
Blackstone Valley aquifer within OU 1 or the site study area Local industrial use of groundwater
began in the Nineteenth Century and peaked in the 1960s With the exception of Okonite the
industrial use of groundwater in the area was discontinued by the early 1970s The supply well at
Okonite was closed on February 21 1981 when VOCs were detected by GZA (GZA 1982 p 5)
13 SITE CONTAMINATION SUMMARY
The presence of contaminants (summarized below) forms the basis for conducting the FS further
site characterization will be provided in the RI report This discussion is based largely on the
investigation by Malcolm Pirnie (1983) and the Consent Order facility inspection (Versar April
1988)
Investigations of soil and groundwater at the CCL and PAC facilities identified that the primary
constituents affecting groundwater quality were chlorinated solvents and ketones respectively The
distribution of VOCs in groundwater is consistent with identified source area and past (pumping)
and present (non-pumping) groundwater flow patterns
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
1-4
SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1
data review
compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
development of remedial action objectives
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-1
SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT

SECTION 1
The VOC contaminant plume centered around the CCL property has the highest contaminant
concentrations in groundwater monitoring wells located just south and southwest of the CCL plant
In cross section the highest concentrations were detected near the shallow portion of the aquifer in
the recharge area of the Blackstone River Elevated concentrations of VOCs have also been
identified beneath the current chemical tank farm in subsurface soils on the CCL property
Flowlines originating beneath CCL tended to follow the base of the sand and gravel aquifer During
operation of the Quinnville wellfield contaminant migration remained at depth as it passed beneath
the Blackstone River toward the pumping well screens In the absence of pumping at the Quinnville
wellfield groundwater flowing at depth resumed discharge to the river Contaminants drawn
beneath the river previously will eventually be flushed via discharge to the river
The highest concentrations of the ketone plume were detected on the PAC property based on 1988
and 1989 groundwater sampling data Lower concentrations of ketones have been detected south of
the PAC property Flowlines originating beneath PAC tend to follow a path westward to the
Blackstone River Although some plume mixing with CCL chlorinated solvents may occur at the
southern extent of the ketone plume it appears that the PAC plume is primarily distinct from that
of CCL
Based on this RI data a conceptual site model of OU 1 was prepared (Figure 1-3) identifying the
contaminant sources from the CCL and PAC properties migration pathways and potential receptors
The models will be refined as the RIFS process proceeds

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1

SECTION 2
development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups

SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960

SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

SECTION 2
20 FEASIBILITY STUDY PROCESS
Based on the preliminary results of the RI a single FS will be conducted which addresses the
Primary Source Area (OU 1) The FS will consist of the following tasks
development of remedial alternatives
screening of remedial alternatives
post-screening data collection (optional)
detailed analysis of remedial alternatives
FS report
The overall objective of the FS is to develop and evaluate remedial alternatives for the contaminated
media in OU 1 The remedial alternatives must be (1) protective of the public health and
environment (2) implementable (3) cost effective (4) meet requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and (5) meet Rhode Island and
local requirements as stipulated in the Consent Order of 1987 The selection of a remedial
alternative may need to 1) utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent practicable and 2) satisfy the preference for
treatment that reduces toxicity mobility and volume as a principal element or provide an
explanation as to why it does not
21 DEVELOPMENT OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The development of alternatives task consists of the following subtasks as shown in Figure 2-1

211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups

SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions

215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response

22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative

development of general response actions
identification of area or volume of media
technology identification and screening
assembly of remedial alternatives
211 Data Review
The Development of Alternatives work element will begin with a thorough review of the RI data and
information (both Phase I and Phase II) human health risk assessment and ecological risk
assessment OU 1 may be divided into separate media such as unsaturated soils and groundwater
if this approach is believed to simplify the remediation process A review of data from the planned
vapor extraction pilot study will also be made Additionally pumping test data from the recovery
well and municipal well fields will be renewed
212 Compilation of Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) are used to determine the
appropriate extent of site clean-up develop site-specific remedial response objectives develop
remedial action alternatives and direct site clean-up SARA (Section 121) the NCP (USEPA
1990) and the Consent Order require that CERCLA remedial actions comply with federal ARARs
and State of Rhode Island requirements when applied legally and consistently statewide
Applicable requirements are federal and state requirements that specifically address substances or
contaminants and actions at CERCLA sites Relevant and appropriate requirements are federal and
state requirements that while not legally applicable can be applied if the site circumstances are
sufficiently similar to those covered by jurisdiction and if use of the requirement is appropriate
Applicable requirements and relevant and appropriate requirements are considered to have the same
weight with respect to requiring compliance at CERCLA site cleanups
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-2
SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-3
SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960
2-5
SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-6
SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report

SECTION 2
SARA also identifies a To Be Considered (TBC) category which includes federal and state
nonregulatory requirements such as criteria advisories and guidance documents TBCs do not have
the same status as ARARs however if no ARAR exists for a chemical or particular situation TBCs
can be used to ensure that a remedy is protective
ARARs must be attained for hazardous substances remaining on-site at the completion of the
remedial action Remedial action implementation should also comply with ARARs (and TBCs as
appropriate) to protect public health and the environment Generally ARARs pertain to either
contaminant levels or to performance or design standards to ensure protection at all points of
potential exposure ARARs are divided into three general categories chemical- location- and
action-specific
ABB-ES will identify federal and state chemical- and action-specific ARARs and TBCs Chemical-
and location-specific ARARs will be identified using RI site characterization data Action-specific
ARARs with respect to each proposed alternative and compliance of each alternative with all
ARARs will be discussed in the detailed analysis of alternatives section
213 Development of Remedial Action Objectives
Remedial action objectives consist of medium-specific or operable unit-specific goals to protect
public health and the environment based on the ARARs the risk assessment goals (human health
and ecological) and technology based cleanup goals Remedial action objectives specify
contaminants of concern by medium exposure routes and receptors and target clean-up levels
(TCLs) for contaminants of concern For compounds or media of concern for which no ARARs
exist ABB-ES will consider TBCs and risk-based TCLs will be developed Final TCLs will be
determined on the basis of risk assessments as well as the evaluation of expected exposures and
associated risks of each alternative Final TCLs will be used to delineate the limits of contamination
and to refine general response actions

SECTION 2
214 Development of General Response Actions
General response actions are general purpose statements describing probable remediation activities
at a given site to meet remedial action objectives Preliminary general response actions will be
identified based upon understanding of the site and remedial action objectives based on readily
available criteria and standards (eg ARARs TCLs) These preliminary general response actions
will be refined throughout the FS as technologies and action-specific ARARs are identified and as a
more complete understanding of a site and acceptable exposure levels is reached Like remedial
action objectives general response actions may be medium- operable unit or site-specific For
example typical general response actions for groundwater contamination would be
No ActionInstitutional Actions
Containment Actions
CollectionTreatment Actions
215 Identification of Area or Volume of Media
Areas or volumes of media to which general response actions might be applied will be determined
based on acceptable exposure levels potential exposure routes site conditions and the nature and
extent of contamination The effectiveness of applying remedial alternatives to hot spots will be
considered The areas or volumes may be refined as alternatives are assembled and evaluated
216 Technology Identification and Screening
Documented information and data on technologies will be reviewed by ABB-ES to identify those
technologies which best satisfy general response actions This initial assessment will involve a
literature search of USEPA-published reports environmental journals and vendor information
Results of this search will be presented as an identification table including the general response
action category the specific technology and a brief technology description
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswkp 05960
2-4
SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the

SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

SECTION 2
The screening process assesses each technology for its probable effectiveness and implementability
with regard to site-specific conditions known and suspected contaminants and affected
environmental media The effectiveness evaluation focuses on (1) whether the technology is
capable of handling the estimated areas or volumes of media and meeting the contaminant reduction
goals identified in the remedial action objectives (2) the effectiveness of the technology in protecting
human health during the construction and implementation phase and (3) how proven and reliable
the technology is with respect to the contaminants and conditions at the site Implementability
encompasses both the technical and institutional feasibility of implementing a technology These
factors will be incorporated into two screening criteria waste- and site-limiting characteristics
Waste-limiting characteristics consider the effect exerted on a technology by contaminant types
individual compound properties (eg volatility solubility specific gravity adsorption potential and
biodegradability) and interactions that may occur between mixtures of compounds (eg reactions
and increased solubility) Site-limiting characteristics consider site-specific physical features
including topography buildings underground utilities available space and proximity to sensitive
operations Waste-limiting characteristics largely determine effectiveness and performance of a
technology site-limiting characteristics affect implementability of a technology Figure 2-2 identifies
potential remedial technologies for the different contaminated media in OU 1
217 Assembly of Remedial Alternatives
A range of remedial alternatives will be developed by combining technologies retained through
screening which as a group address all remedial response objectives established for a particular site
The range of alternatives will reflect (1) a no action alternative (2) various volumes of media
andor areas of the site (3) several degrees of long-term management and (4) differences in
reduction of mobility toxicity and volume
Development of a complete range of treatment alternatives may not be practical in some cases For
example it would not be reasonable to develop a treatment or disposal alternative to eliminate the
need for long-term management of the contaminated soils beneath the CCL plant because of the
ABB Environmental Services Inc cpcfswfcp 05960

SECTION 2
extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report

It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are

extreme costs that would be involved For each alternative developed a narrative description will be
provided including the logic used to develop the alternative and other information describing its
implementation
22 SCREENING OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
During screening alternatives are quantitatively defined to allow differentiation with respect to the
criteria of effectiveness implementability and cost This is achieved through refinement of estimates
of volume or areas of contaminated media the size and configuration of onsite extraction and
treatment systems as well as time frames to achieve remediation goals rates or flows of treatment
spacial requirements distances for disposal technologies and required permits for off-site actions
and imposed limitations Innovative technologies may be carried through the screening process if
there is reason to believe they offer significant advantages in the form of better treatment
performance implementability fewer adverse impacts or lower costs
The three screening criteria conform with remedy selection requirements of CERCLA and the NCP
The screening step eliminates impractical alternatives or higher cost alternatives (ie order of
magnitude) that provide little or no increase in effectiveness or implementability over their lower-
cost counterparts By eliminating these alternatives early more time and effort can be devoted to
detailed analysis of the more promising alternatives The no-action alternative will not be evaluated
according to screening criteria it will pass through screening to be evaluated during detailed analysis
as a baseline for the other retained alternatives (USEPA 1988)
The effectiveness criterion evaluates the effectiveness of each alternative in protecting human health
and the environment and the degree to which treatment alternatives reduce the mobility toxicity or
volume of the waste material Both short- and long-term aspects will be evaluated Short-term
aspects refer to risks posed to the community and workers during the construction and
implementation period the alternatives compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs
and the time required to achieve remedial action objectives Long-term aspects which apply after
the remedial action has been completed consider the magnitude of the remaining risk due to

SECTION 2
untreated wastes and waste residuals and the adequacy and reliability of specific technical
components and control measures
Implementability is a measure of technical and administrative feasibility In the assessment of short-
term technical feasibility ABB-ES will consider the availability of a technology for construction or
mobilization and operation as well as compliance with action-specific ARARs during the remedial
action After the remedial action is complete technical feasibility focuses on operation and
maintenance (OampM) replacement and monitoring of technical controls of residuals and untreated
wastes ABB-ES assessment of administrative feasibility will address coordination with regulatory
and other agencies and the availability of required services and trained specialists or operators
The cost analysis will include an estimate of both capital and OampM expenditures Absolute accuracy
of cost estimates during screening is not critical the focus is to identify costs of primary technical
components to facilitate a consistent comparative analysis among the alternatives with relative
accuracy This will permit cost decisions among alternatives to be sustained as the accuracy of the
cost estimates improves beyond the screening process (USEPA 1988)
The information discussed in Subsections 21 and 22 Development and Screening of Remedial
Alternatives respectively will be compiled and presented as an Initial Screening of Alternatives
deliverable ABB-ES will prepare a Comment Response Package for comments received on this
deliverable and incorporate these comments into the context of the Draft FS Report
2J POST-SCREENING DATA COLLECTION
It is ABB-ES opinion that sufficient data has been gathered for OU 1 to properly identify and
evaluate potential remedial technologies and develop remedial alternatives If future data gaps are
identified ABB-ES will coordinate with CPC USEPA and RIDEM prior to initiating additional
field investigations

SECTION 2
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
The detailed analysis presents the relevant information that allows a site remedy selection The
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative includes the following
detailed descriptions of each remedial alternative with emphasis on application of
the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements
stipulated in CERCLA (Section 121) as amended by SARA CERCLA emphasizes the evaluation
of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness

These criteria are seven of the nine criteria outlined in the USEPA Guidance for Conducting
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Studies under CERCLA (USEPA 1988) and
Section 300430e9 of the NCP The State and Community Acceptance criteria are the final two
criteria and will be addressed after comments on the RIFS and Proposed Plan have been received
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT
The Draft FS Report will be produced to compile the Initial Screening of Alternatives and Detailed
Analysis of Alternatives Additionally the Draft FS Report will include a comparative analysis of
alternatives The comparative analysis will identify the advantages and disadvantages of each
alternative relative to one another hi relation to the seven evaluation criteria

the various technologies as components in the alternative and
detailed analysis of each remedial alternative relative to the evaluation criteria
established to address CERCLA requirements
The detailed description of each remedial alternative will emphasize the technologies used and the
components of each alternative Where appropriate the description will present preliminary design
calculations process flow diagrams sizing of key components preliminary site layouts and a
discussion of limitations assumptions and uncertainties concerning each alternative
As part of the criteria analysis remedial alternatives will be examined with respect to requirements

of long-term effectiveness and related considerations for each remedial alternative ABB-ES will
address the CERCLA statutory requirements by evaluating each remedial alternative and presenting
individual analyses based on the following criteria
Threshold Criteria (must be met by each alternative)
overall protection of human health and the environment
compliance with ARARs
Primary Criteria (basis of alternative evaluation)
long-term effectiveness and permanence
reduction of toxicity mobility or volume through treatment
short-term effectiveness
