I. INTRODUCTION

1. AuthorityPreparation of this report was initiated at the requestof Mr. R. D. Karkkainen, Director of Environment andSafety, Vertac Chemical Corporation. This geologicreport is submitted in accordance with the 04 September1981 DISC proposal for an Environmental Assessment Study /and Engineering Recommendations for Remedial Action atthe Vertac Chemical Corporation Site at Jacksonville, ^Arkansas.

<M2. Basis of Report CM

0A great deal of information is available concerning the Qgeology of the Vertac site at Jacksonville. Severalsubsurface investigations have been performed forvarious purposes at the site. The Arkansas GeologicCommission has published a geologic survey water-supplypaper for an area that includes the site. Geologicinspection reports made by many geologists and engineersemployed by DISC and others are available. This reportsummarizes the geologic descriptions of the site obtainedfrom each of these sources.

II. AREA GEOLOGY

1. General

Physiographically, Pulaski County is bisected by thefall line of two geologic provinces: the InteriorHighlands and the Coastal Plain, see Figure II.1.1.The Interior Highlands are topographically hilly andunderlain by Paleozoic rock. The Coastal Plain isrelatively flat and underlain by unconsolidatedsediments that dip gently to the southeast. Thesesediments are underlain by the consolidated rock ofthe Interior Highlands. Figure II.1.2 illustratesthe vertical relationship of these units; Table II.1.1gives their lithologic and water bearing characteristics,

in

(MCM00

SO ;-"LES_i

FIGURE 1 1 . 1 . 1 .

2. Interior HighlandsThe consolidated rocks of the Interior Highlands aredissected. Weathering has altered the rock abovethe lowest level of the water table to soil and"rotten rock". The soil and weathered rock combinedhave a maximum thickness of about twenty feet. Theweathered zone is more porous and permeable than the

original unweathered rock. Water occurs in theintergranular voids of the weathered rock and soil.Water occurs in secondary openings such as jointsand fractures in the unweathered rock.Groundwater moves in the direction of slope of thegroundwater table. This gradient generally followsthe topography in the weathered zone. In the un-weathered zone, however, the slope of the watertable is heavily influenced by the geologic structure.Flow is generally toward the synclinal axes, i . e . inthe direction of dip.

Figure 11.1. 2—Relationship o( the rocks of the Coastal Plain to those of toe Interior Highlands.

3. Coastal PlainThe Coastal Plain sediments include the seven units (3through 9 ) that are illustrated on Figure 1 1 . 1 . 2 . Theseunits vary from high plasticity clays to sands andgravels. Permeabilities vary considerably from unit tounit. Table II.1.1 shows the wide range of materialsthat can be expected in the Coastal Plain. Aereal out-croppings are unmapped for much of the Coastal Plain.

Page 6: GEOLOGY REPORT ENTITLED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT …

Units 4, 5, 6 , and 8 are generally fine grainedmaterials that do not yield considerable water,however, units 3, 7, and 9 are major sources of waterin some areas. Unit 3 consists of beds of claystone,calcareous sandstone, sandy limestone, marl, andconglomerate. Its thickness at outcroppings has beenmeasured at 7 to 60 feet. Unit 7 consists of fine tomedium sand with some interbedded clay lenses. Thetotal thickness averages 320 feet. Unit 9 consistsof terrace deposits and alluvium. Sand is commontoward the top of the terrace deposits. The alluvium,deposited by the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers,blankets much of eastern Arkansas and consists of afine grained top stratum that becomes coarser withdepth. Unit 9 is thickest near the Arkansas River(120 feet) and much thinner elsewhere.

III. SITE GEOLOGY

1. GeneralThe subsurface investigations that have been performedat the site in the past have often included testborings and sometimes test pits. Logs of these boringsand pits are presented in Appendix A. The location ofall known borings and pits are shown on Drawing No. G-l.Figure III.1.1 shows the general areas where the strat-igraphy has been defined by these previous investiga- 00tions and indicates the degree of definition in each -r-area. ^The site is located either very near or possibly astridethe fall line of the Inland Highlands and Coastal Plain °described in Part II of this report. Published geologic 0maps indicate that the entire site lies slightly west 'of the fall line. Figure III.1.2 shows the relationshipof the site to the fail line as taken from the Geohydrol-ogic Map of Pulaski and Saline Counties', Arkansas. FigureIII.1.3, taken from the Geologic Map of Arkansas, preparedby the Arkansas Geologic Commission and the USGS, indicatesthat the subsoils are of the Lower Atoka Formation, againindicating that the site is located in the Interior High-lands. However, clays, said to be of the Midway Group,are known to exist in the northern part of the site andthe Midway Group is a unit of the Coastal Plain. Also,surficial geologic inspection of the eastern portion ofthe site indicates that the near surface soils are sedi-mentary. This also supports the conclusion that thesite is bisected by the fall line. In .either case, ata relatively shallow depth, the entire site is underlainby the consolidated rock of the Atoka Formation thatsurfaces in the Interior Highlands and underlies thesediments of the Coastal Plain. -

2. Unweathered RockThe Atoka Formation consists of alternating beds of sand-stone and shale. Outcroppings measured at the site indi-cate that the bedding dips at about 30° to the Northeastand strikes at about N 6 0 ° W . Numerous discrepancies arefound when reviewing existing informaion concerning thestrike and dip of the rock strata at the site. Thiscan be attributed to the proximity of the site to thefall line mentioned above. Outcroppings can be foundon site that vary 10° and more in both strike and dip.The strike/dip combination stated above best represents:^he bedding at the site.

Drawing No. G-l includes a geologic section taken inthe direction of dip, N 30'E. This section is basedon the records of test borings made during previousstudies that are included in Appendix A.

3. Weathered RockAbove_^fche unweathered rock strata, there exists a /ratum - eryweathered rock that is generally about

(five feet thick.) The permeability of this weathered Oslrock is mostly intergranular and typically higher than C\Jthat of the unweathered parent rock found below. ^

CM4. Overburden ' ^———————— 0

The surface soils at the site consist primarily of silts 'and clays with some sand, gravel, and rock fragments.The permeability is generally lower than that of theweathered rock below.The origin of the overburden soil varies across thesite. The western portion of the site, with the excep-tion of man made fills, is covered by residual soilsof the underlying rock strata with shales degradingto clays and sandstones degrading to sandy silts. Thinalluvial deposits of no consequence are located nearthe drainage ditches across the site. The easternportion of the site appears to be blanketed with thesediments of the Coastal Plain. The total thickness ofthe overburden varies from almost non-existent in lowareas to over twenty feet in the northern areas andpresumably in the eastern areas. The geologic sectionshown on Drawing No. G-l illustrates that this thick-ness generally varies with the topography.
