COMMUNITY RELATIONS PLANBATTLE CREEK SITE

BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN

The Community Relation* Flan for the Battle Creek site hasbeen prepared in two sections. The first section containsthe community relations assessment, which presents the sitebackground and discusses the objectives and techniques ofthe Community Relations Plan. A community relations assess-ment was first prepared for the Battle Creek site in January1983, based on discussions with U.S. EPA Region 5 and theMichigan Department of Natural Resources. Onsite interviewswere conducted in June, 1983. The following individualswere contacted:

I e Mr. Larry Osborne, City of Battle Creek, Departmentof Public Works

e

j e Ruffin Harris and Tricia Hubbard, Hazardous Wastei j Organizing Alliance

• Russell Clutter, Pennfield Township Supervisor

e Gloria Maichele and Russell Schelles, Emmett Town-ship Staff

• Ted Havens, Calhoun County Health Department

Based on these local interviews, the assessment has beenrevised to reflect current community issues and concerns.

The second section of the Community Relations Plan outlinesimplementation activities, including a work plan, personnelallocations, and schedule. Primary responsibility for im-plementation of the Community Relations Plan will rest withU.S. EPA Region 5.

1.0 COMMUNITY RELATIONS ASSESSMENT

1.1 COMMUNITY RELATIONS BACKGROUND

In 1981, during routine testing of private water supplies,the Calhoun County Health Department discovered that thecity water supply was contaminated with volatile hydrocar-bons. Subsequent testing revealed that one-half of the citywells located in the Verona well field and a large number ofprivate wells in the residential area southwest of the wellfield were contaminated. The Verona well field providespotable water to the 35,000 residents of the City of Battle

Creek, part of the water supply for two major food process-ing plants, the total water supply for a third food process-ing plant and a variety of other commercial and industrialuses.

The predominant contaminants identified were trichloroethy-lene (TCE), Cis-1, 2 dichloroethylene, and per-or tetrachloroe-thylene (PCE). Concentrations of these substances in thecontaminated city wells are generally low (1 to 100 ug/1) ,and wells with contaminant levels approaching 100 ug/1 havebeen shut down. Several of the private wells have contamina-tion levels up to 1,000 ug/1, and one well recorded a dich-loroethylene concentration of 3,900 ug/1.

1.1.1 History of Community Relations Activities

In routine testing, the Calhoun County Health Departmentdiscovered contaminated water in the City of Battle Creekwater supply in August 1981. The Health Department retestedprior to notifying the city of the contamination in September1981. All city wells were then sampled. Contaminated wellswere taken off line and municipal and industrial water needswere supplied from the remaining wells.

In October 1981, the Calhoun County Health Department re-quested assistance from the Michigan Department of PublicHealth to establish a sampling program in the residentialarea southwest of the city well field. This area is servedby private residential wells. Sampling began in October1981, and continued through 1982. Approximately 100 privatewells were tested.

Letters were written to affected residents outlining thesampling results. Residents with contaminated wells wereadvised to refrain from drinking, cooking, or bathing withtheir water. Letters describing the test results were mailedout from late 1981 to late 1982.

The letters prompted calls to the Michigan Department ofPublic Health and the Calhoun County Health Department foradditional information. Residents interviewed in June 1983expressed frustration with their inability to reach the ap-propriate state officials and with the lack of information.Some alarmed residents requested sampling of their privatewells and were reportedly told it would be 6-8 months beforesamples could be taken due to the current workload.

When private well contamination became evident, the City ofBattle Creek offered treatment plant water to affected resi-dents. Due to limited staff, water was available only dur-ing regular working hours (9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M., Monday throughFriday). Many residents work during the day and were notable to obtain water during those hours.

In December 1981, Pennfield and Emmett Townships began investi-gating a grant to extend city waterlines into the affectedresidential areas. A grant has since been received and con-struction is scheduled to begin in August, with completionscheduled for November 1983. Since residents of the affectedarea are generally classified as having low to moderate in-comes, a special construction grant allows connection of thewater line to each residence. Residents will be responsiblefor the cost of hook-up to their interior plumbing.

Residents received no further communication from state orcounty agencies until November 1982, when a bottled waterprogram was established by the Michigan Department ofNatural Resources. Mailers were sent to approximately 80households announcing the bottled water program. Slightlyless than half of the affected households chose to parti-cipate in the bottled water program. Some residents believethis was due to the feeling that no real problem existed.They point to the fact that almost a year lapsed between thediscovery of the first contaminated well and the establish-ment of the bottled water program.

The bottled water program was administered by MDNR from late1982 to July 1983. EPA then established an expanded bottledwater program which has been made available to over 200 house-holds.

During late 1982, the Michigan Department of Public Healthmailed a newsletter to approximately 300 households in theaffected area of Emmett and Pennfield Townships. The news-letter provided general information on the contaminationproblem and upcoming activities. Only a few residents re-ported receipt of the newsletter.

In February 1982, the City of Battle Creek formed a taskforce of concerned public agencies and affected industrialwater users. Public members include the Michigan Departmentof Public Health and Department of Natural Resources, theU.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency, the Calhoun County Health Department, and the Cityof Battle Creek. Industrial representatives include threemajor cereal-producing companies—Kellogg, Post and RalstonPurina. In June 1983, Nick Mathews, a resident of the af-fected area was placed on the task force at the request ofan ad hoc group that had recently formed in the affectedarea outside the city limits.

In February 1983, the Battle Creek Department of Public Workssponsored a workshop for local officials and the generalpublic on the effect of the contamination on the Verona wellfield. The workshop was announced in the daily newspaper.Attendance was small, primarily limited to members of theCity Commission and the task force.

In April 1983, representatives of the Hazardous Waste Organiz-ing Alliance arrived in Battle Creek to organize residentsaffected by the contamination. They have centered theirefforts in the residential area southwest of the well field.An ad hoc group of residents has been organized and has becomeactively involved in the contamination problem. The ad hocgroup began their activities by seeking access to availableinformation and have used the Freedom of Information Act toobtain requested materials. The group has met with the CalhounCounty Health Department, Michigan Department of Public Health,Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Governor's staffwithin the last few months.

On June 10, 1983 about 30 members of the ad hoc group tra-veled to Lansing to demand a meeting with the Governor.Their goal was to receive state assistance in setting upfacilities for community showers since they had been advisednot to use their water for bathing. The Governor did notmeet with them and the group stated their intent to wait inhis office until they could see him. Aides spoke with themduring the day, but were not well received. The group wasremoved from the Governor's office by the Michigan StatePolice.

On June 13, 1983 the Governor visited Battle Creek and walkedthrough the affected area. He met with selected officialsand members of the press. On the same day, State Representa-tive Richard Fitzpatrick set up a meeting between the Governor'sstaff, state and federal agency personnel, and a limitednumber of local residents for Tuesday, June 14th. The meetingresulted in state action to set up acceptable shower facilities.

The ad hoc group, while not representative of all affectedr residents, is active and well organized. They meet frequentlyand are actively recruiting additional members. They havetraveled to Lansing several times to obtain information andto meet with state agency personnel.

Television coverage has been provided by a local station(WVHQ), a Kalamazoo station (WKZO) and a Grand Rapids sta-tion (WVTV). Radio coverage has been provided by stationsWBCK, WKNR and WELL in Battle Creek. The Enquirer and News,a local daily newspaper, has provided extensive coverage.Press and media coverage was heavy when the contaminationwas initially discovered. Little additional coverage oc-curred until the ad hoc group was organized in May 1983.

Recent activities by residents have also prompted interestby U.S. Congressman Howard Wolpey and State RepresentativeRichard Fitzpatrick.

1.1.2 Community Relations Issues and Participants

Local Residents

A 2-hour interview was held on June 16, 1983 with members ofthe ad hoc resident group. Two members of the HazardousWaste Organizing Alliance also participated in the inter-view. The issues outlined below are a summary of the topicsdiscussed during that interview. They reflect the percep-tions and attitudes of this group of residents. While thisad hoc group does not represent all of the affected residents,they are the only group that has come forward requestingaction and additional information.

e Control of Decisions that Affect Residents

The group of local residents expressed extreme frustrationwith the slowness of government response and the inabilityto gain access to project information, unless Freedom ofInformation Act requests were made. They believe that thestate's testing program has been very slow and cite caseswhen residents who requested testing were told that it wouldbe 6 to 8 months before their wells could be sampled. Yet,the residents maintain that the earlier bottled water pro-gram was available only after well sampling had occurred.(The residents acknowledge that this problem has been solvedby the recent EPA bottled water program which will provideunlimited bottled water to residents within a larger geo-graphic area.)

This group of residents believes that the contamination pro-blem is a severe one and doesn't understand why it took ayear to set up the original bottled water program. Theyfeel that people have continued to use contaminated privatewells because they don't believe the contamination is serious.They believe that government agencies are responsible forthat lack of concern since the agencies made only limitedefforts to notify people of the possible risks associatedwith the contamination. These residents believe that thelow response to the earlier bottled water program and thecurrent disinterest in hooking up to the city water systemis a result of this lack of communication.

These residents expressed frustration with their inabilityto gain access to information. They believe that theirearly requests for additional information were not takenseriously by state and county officials. The group recountedinstances of unanswered phone calls and unsuccessful tripsto the county health department in their attempts to gainadditional information after the initial well test resultswere received. Their recent efforts to obtain technicalinformation from agency files have been more successful.The residents attribute this success to their willingness touse the Freedom of Information Act.

PD224.004.5

Their perception that the government has been slow to actand has withheld information has resulted in a severe mis-trust of government officials and of the information theyare now providing. As a result, they want a direct link toall data and analysis that is generated during the RemedialInvestigation/Feasibility Study.

In summary/ this group of residents is skeptical of the in-formation provided by the participating government agencies.They believe that government response has been inadequateand downplays the severity of the contamination problem.These residents believe that the problem is severe and theywant an active role in the selection of the remedial action.

• Health Effects

Residents identified three short-term priorities during theJune, 1983 interview: 1) a comprehensive bottled water pro-gram, 2) an acceptable showering facility, and 3) a healtheffects study. The bottled water program and public showerfacility have since been provided. The Michigan Departmentof Public Health has drafted a health effects survey fordistribution in the affected area. The ad hoc group hasexpressed concern about the content of the survey and be-lieve that it has been designed to prove that no problemexists. The Michigan Department of Public Health held ameeting on August 3rd to discuss the health effects surveywith interested residents. The draft survey has also beensubmitted to U.S. EPA and the Centers for Disease Control.

e Enforcement

The ad hoc group expressed strong concern about the lack ofenforcement action against the pollution sources. They don'tunderstand why the Raymond Landfill, which is unlicensed, isstill operating after 7 years of state attempts to close itdown. They believe this lack of government action furtherdemonstrates a lack of concern. (On August 9, 1983, theowner of the Raymond Landfill voluntarily suspended operationsFinal closure plans are currently being discussed with MDNR.)

• Secondary Contamination Impact

Residents have expressed concern that their interior plumb-ing and appliances (such as washing machines and hot waterheaters) are contaminated and must be replaced. They alsobelieve that the soils are contaminated and that their pro-perty is, therefore, worthless. They are concerned aboutrelease of contaminants when the water pipeline trenches aredug. They fear that older residents and young children mayhave health problems as a result of these potential releases.(At a public meeting held July 19, U.S. EPA agreed to conductair monitoring during construction of the water line.)

Based on their understanding of local geologic and ground-water conditions, these residents believe that the Veronawell field must be abandoned. They believe that the citywater is currently contaminated and that construction of anew well field will be required.

City of Battle Creek

Little interest has been expressed by residents of the Cityof Battle Creek. Soon after the contamination was discovered,the city received a number of phone calls from residents.No significant local interest has appeared since a number of

f city wells were taken off-line. In 1982, the City began a[ joint study with the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the

hydrogeological conditions affecting the well field.

Once the affected residential areas have been hooked up tothe city water system, the City of Battle Creek could become

* the focus of their information requests and concerns.

Calhoun County Health Department

The Calhoun County Health Department has been the lead localagency and has, therefore, been the target of much of thelocal residents' frustrations. The County Health Departmenthas worked closely with the Michigan Department of PublicHealth. The county believes that they are now receiving theneeded assistance from MDPH and U.S. EPA and is interestedin maintaining their lead role.

Emmett and Pennfield Townships• ^ • ^ ~~~ " ' - - -• -The affected residential wells are located in Emmett and

i Pennfield Townships. In December, 1981, three months afteri the contamination was discovered, the township supervisors

began to pursue connection of the area to the City of BattleCreek's water system. Construction of that extension beganAugust 8, 1983.r

tThe townships have received information requests and com-plaints from affected residents. They are sensitive to theseconcerns, but feel unprepared to answer the technical questionsThe townships have expressed a need for a technically credibleinformation source to answer the residents' many questions.They are willing to play an on-going role, but feel that abetter information network is needed so that the townshipscan either answer local questions or refer people to reliableinformation sources. (Information repositories have recentlybeen established at the township offices.)

State of Michigan

The Michigan Department of Public Health and Department ofNatural Resources have participated in activities related to

PD224.004.7

Page 116: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

the Battle Creek site. All residential well testing hasbeen conducted by the Department of Public Health. A lackof staff resources has impacted their ability to sample allof the potentially affected wells. The Department of PublicHealth is currently preparing a fact sheet that describesthe contaminants that have been found in the residentialwells. They are also preparing a health effects survey.

Industrial Users

Three major cereal producers (Kellogg, Post and Ralston Purina)obtain industrial process water from area ground water sources.

( Due to the presence of low levels of contamination in theirprivate wells, Kellogg'• has now switched to the city watersupply. These industrial users have participated in the

I task force established by the City of Battle Creek. Theyare coordinating their sampling program with the city andwill follow future remedial actions closely.

f In summary, the ad hoc local resident group has identified aI number of issues and concerns which they want addressed by

the participating local, state and federal agencies. Futuref remedial activities need to involve the currently organizedI resident group and all other interested citizens who are

identified during study activities. It is important thatall participants share information so that consistent, fac-

| tual information can be provided to all interested parties.

1.2 COMMUNITY RELATIONS OBJECTIVES AND TECHNIQUES

1.2.1 Community Relations Objectives

e Establish open, two-way communication between thelocal residents and the EPA remedial action team.

e Share technical information among the remedialaction team, residents, affected industries, andparticipating local and state agencies (CalhounCounty, City of Battle Creek, Emmett Township,Pennfield Township, Michigan Department of NaturalResources and Michigan Department of Public Health.)

e Provide a central information source for residentsand local officials to receive information on healtheffects, site activities, project status and relatedquestions.

• Provide residents, affected agencies, elected offi-cials and media with accurate, timely informationregarding the objectives, progress and findings ofthe Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study.

PD224.004.8

Page 117: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

L

• Provide summaries of technical study results in aform that is useful to residents and elected of-ficials.

e Provide all interested parties an opportunity toreview the Rl/FS and comment on the remedial actionalternatives. A three week public comment periodwill be provided. Two week notice prior to thebeginning of the comment period will be given.

• Identify interested citizens in both the City ofBattle Creek and the affected incorporated areawho wish to be routinely informed of study pro-gress and findings.

e Monitor changes in community concerns as the Re-medial Investigation/Feasibility Study progresses.This will be particularly important if studiesshow a significant potential for long-term con-tamination of the Verona well-field.

1.2.2 Community Relations Techniques

Because of the current level of public interest, initial EPAactions at the site are very important. Early provision ofaccurate information and establishment of two-way communica-tion with residents is essential if a long-term positiveworking relationship is to exist. An early meeting with thead hoc group should occur. However, it is also necessary todetermine whether other residents, both within the City ofBattle Creek and the unincorporated areas, also desire active *involvement. Once the residents northeast of the city areconnected to the city water system, short term concerns shouldbe resolved. However, long-term concerns about the city'swater supply can be expected to remain.

1. Establish Initial EPA Presence and Contacts.

EPA's on-scene coordinator and community relations coordinatorwill visit Battle Creek at the earliest possible time. Theywill meet with interested groups and individuals. Specifically,briefings will be scheduled with the ad hoc group, CalhounCounty, City of Battle Creek, Emmett Township, PennfieldTownship, and the local media.

Representatives from EPA will be prepared to answer ques-tions regarding chemical constituents, health effects, de-tails of hook-up to the city water system, and activitiesplanned during the RI/FS. EPA representatives will also beprepared to discuss specifically how residents and officialscan participate in the upcoming remedial activities.

2. Establish Central Information Contact and LocalRepositories.

Information on site activities is currently splintered, sinceeach government agency has retained responsibility for dif-ferent activities. This has led to public confusion and aperception that nothing is being done. EPA will set up acentral contact point where residents and officials can obtaininformation. The contact point will be either the on-scenecoordinator or the community relations coordinator. Thisperson will serve as a clearinghouse to ensure that localconcerns are addressed and that requested information isprovided. Coordination with local officials and partici-pating agencies will be necessary to assure that consistentinformation is provided to all interested residents, press,and agencies.

Local information repositories will be set up at the citylibrary, and the Emmett and Pennfield township offices.Existing documents will be placed in the repository, includ-ing the RAMP and other technical reports.

3. Identify Concerned Public and Establish MailingList

A preliminary project mailing list has been prepared by U.S.EPA. This list is composed primarily of people living inthe unincorporated area and will be expanded to include otherinterested residents. A display ad will be placed in thelocal newspaper announcing the start-up of remedial actions.A clip out section will be attached that can be mailed infor addition to the project mailing list. The ad will alsoinclude the EPA contact person and the location of the localrepositories. Currently, interest in the project appears tobe limited to the residents whose private wells have beenaffected. It is important to reach residents within theCity of Battle Creek as well, to ensure them an opportunityto participate in the remedial activities.

4. Information Updates/Newletters

Information updates will be prepared at regular intervalsthroughout the RI/FS process. These updates will provideinformation on upcoming activities, study results, enforce-ment action and other items of interest. The updates willalso be an educational tool to describe the technical issuessurrounding site clean-up. For example, one issue will de-scribe local geologic conditions and how they impact ground-water flow. The purpose of these updates will be two-fold:1) to provide interested residents with information on up-coming activities, and 2) to educate residents on the tech-nical aspects of the project so that they are better preparedto review and comment on the RI/FS results.

Page 119: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

5. Small Neighborhood Meetings

EPA may schedule small neighborhood meetings to occur through-out the RI/FS process* The purpose of these meetings willbe to share study information and to provide an opportunityfor questions and comments. Attendance will generally includethe EPA on-scene coordinator and community relations coordi-nator. Contractor assistance may also be required to sharespecific technical information. Meetings should be limitedto about 20 persons to allow easy exchange of information.

4 The assistance of active residents will be requested to hostthe meetings and to identify residents who may wish to attend.

I A notice of upcoming meetings will be included in the infor-I mation updates.

6. Public Meetings

I The need for open public meetings may be replaced by thesmall neighborhood meetings outlined above. The need for

f public meetings must be carefully evaluated throughout thei study process. At the outset, it is advisable to hold a

public information meeting to describe upcoming activities,project status and the RI/FS schedule and content. This

i public meeting will be preceded by briefings with residents,L officials and agency staff.

Future public meetings may also be scheduled at the conclu-sion of the Remedial Investigation and the Feasibility Study.The need for these meetings will be determined by the levelof public concern and the appropriateness of this technique.

7. Press Releases

Press releases will be issued as appropriate throughout remedialactivities. At a minimum, press releases will be issued atthe following times:

• To announce the public information meeting, EPAinformation contacts and locations of the informationrepository

e When significant test or study results are avail-able

e At the completion of the feasibility study to iden-tify alternative remedial actions and to announcethe public comment period

Press briefings will accompany press releases when signifi-cant issues are concerned or when highly technical data ispresented. As outlined in Technique 1, initial contact withthe media will occur early in the project.

8. Technical Summaries

In order for residents to respond usefully to proposed alter-natives, they must be able to understand the technical infor-mation. This understanding must be built throughout theRI/FS process. A series of technical summaries describingexisting conditions, testing processes and results, and dataanalysis will be prepared and distributed. These summarieswill present the technical information in a way that can beunderstood and evaluated by residents and officials. Tech-nical summaries will be incorporated in information updates.Project documents such as the Remedial Investigation reportand the Feasibility Study will be accompanied by a publicsummary for use by interested parties. These technical sum-maries will be clear, accurate descriptions of study results,prepared in a style and format that encourage public use andunderstanding.

9. Local Briefings

Local officials, agency staff, and representatives of citi-zen interest groups will be routinely briefed on study acti-vities and results. These briefings will occur by telephoneor in person during site visits.

10. Public Comment Period

A three-week comment period will be provided after releaseof the feasibility study. Notice of the comment period andof the availability of the feasibility study will be issuedtwo weeks before the comment period begins. The feasibilitystudy and technical summary will be made available at thelocal information repositories and other locations as appro-priate .

Re: Contract No. 68-01-6894Delivery Order No. 6894-05-0008Battle Creek - Verona Well Field

Dear Bob:

As you know, T visited Battle Creek on May 15 to observe progress at the siteand to discuss various aspects of the project with Dan CapHce (EPA's OSC) andMike Hessling (PEDCo's Response Manager). I also had the opportunity to meetJohn Dourjalian (Weston's TAT representative). In short, I was impressed withthe progress to date considering the nature of the pro.iect and the deadlineInitially projected for system startup. Although this scope of work was notanticipated early 1n the contract, as well as our not having (established)many of the personnel, equipment or material fixed rates , the OSC and ERCSteam have performed well 1n system design/construction and expediting systemstartup.

Upon leaving the site, I met with the OSC, Response Manager and TAT represen-tative and made a number of suqgestions, which I prefaced by saying ourinterest is 1n ensuring quality 1n design/construction and expediting systemstartup in the most cost effective manner possible. A summary of these pointsfol1ows:

1. It appeared that a field clerk, assigned specifically to the project,would streamline a lot of the paperwork associated with coordinatingsubcontractors, purchasing and logging personnel and equipment on tothe '55's. At a minimum, I suggest a clerk 1n Cincinnati be providedto assist the Response Manager on an as needed basis.

2. An inspection by the design englneer(s) would ensure acceptabledrawing takeoff's and construction methods. Additionally, DanCapHce noted that he required "as built" drawings, which willrequire onsite v1s1t(s) by the englneer(s).

3. An office trailer and telephone would certainly make field opera-tions more efficient. In my opinion, the fiasco associated withtransporting pumps would have been avoided if direct communicationsInto fas opposed to from) the field were possible. At this point,this suggestion may be Irrelevant; however, 1t 1s worth noting thatthe Response Manager Initially requested this equipment, which wassubsequently disallowed by the OSC.

4. Enforcement of personnel safety at the site appeared lax, a respon-sibility of the TAT, OSC and Response Manager. Of particularconcern were men working "down the hole" (the 12-foot deep excava-tion) with an overhead crane delivering concrete, with no hard hats.Also, the TAT representative directed the unloading of reinforcingsteel from a truck (by pushing 1t with a bulldozer) while 1n tennisshoes. (That activity further concerned me 1n the manner the TATrepresentative conducted himself. He was initially very upset thatthe steel was not "pre-formed", where in fact 1t was ordered anddelivered correctly. He also acted freely In ordering the City ofBattle Creek's bulldozer operator to push the steel from the truck.I seriously question the TAT's role and conduct In this Instance.1

5. The OSC has ordered an accelerated carbon column test to determineprojected operating life of the activated carbon. He has asked thatCalgon perform the work for a cost currently estimated to be $4000,and has waived our requirement to compete this work. It will bebilled as offslte analysis.

6. The OSC is comfortable with the design work that has been done todate, and has made some minor changes during construction which willbe documented during preparation of the "as-built" drawings. Irecommended that an engineer get Involved 1n redesigning the over-flow portion of the wet well, since the current trough design 1sbeing changed to concrete pipe Intersecting the wet well wall. TheOSC indicated that It would be possible to complete the constructionas he envisioned 1t without further involvement by the engineer(s).

7. It was apparent that a number of mechanical components (valves,etc.) had yet to be delivered to the site. Dan Caplice and MikeHessllng will conduct a comprehensive inventory and followup onspecific missing Items.

8. After discussing the schedule 1n detail with Mike Hessllng, Itappeared that the mechanical contractor's (Hunter-Prell) activitieswould be critical In meeting a May ?4 startup deadline. Hunter-Prell's supervisor (Kent Choate) Indicated that as of May 15 hisresponsibilities would require ten (10) full days, and he was notplanning on working May 19 or 20. (Note that even with good weatherand weekend work the schedule would be missed by one day.) Irecommended to the OSC that he strongly consider working the weekendand possibly overtime during the week. He and the Response Managerhave requested an Increased workforce from Hunter-Prell for May 16and 17, and will re-evaluate the schedule then. It appears, how-ever, that finishing the concrete work and starting the electricalwork should both occur on the weekend, which was suggested to andagreed by M1ke Hessllng. He will discuss this Issue further withDan Caplice later 1n the week.

Mr. Robert J. Bowden - 3 - May 18, 1984

9. I also Indicated to Dan tapllce that the ERCS OPO (you) had directedus to receive written authorization from the OSC to continue work inthe OSC's absence. Dan concurred and provided the Response Managerwith authorization and a daily work plan for May 16, when he wouldbe in Lanslng.

Bob, we are confident that, under the circumstances, the objectives of thisdelivery order will be met in a cost effective and timely fashion. BothGeorge and I would like to discuss further with you the TAT's role on ERCSsites, specifically in regard to their authority, safe conduct and actionsaffecting the safety of others. We would like to schedule a meeting with youon May 23, May 31, or June 1 and will call you to firmly set the date. Pleasecall me if you have any questions or comments.

RE;

Dear Kurt:

On Monday, May 14, 1984, TAT Member John Dourjalian was requested tomonitor the activites at the Verona Pump Station, which had begun onApril 25, 1984. The activities involved the construciton of a liftstation which will pump contaminated groundwater through a series ofcarbon units for pre-treatment prior to its discharge into the BattleCreek River.

Upon my arrival on Monday, May 14, 1984, at 0800, the contractors werecompleting the placement of steel reinforcement rods which had to bedone prior to pouring the conrete pad for the lift station. Arrange-ments for pouring the concrete were made for Tuesday, May 15, 1984.On Tuesday OSC, TAT and FEDCO Response Manager met in the pumpingstation to review the daily 1955 forms. (No forms were submitted forthe period begigoing 5/7/84 and ending 5/15/84.) Contractors .com-pleted the steel reinforcement for the concrete pad and poured the con-crete.

\At the completion of the day's work OSC, PEDCO Deputy Project Manager,TAT and FEDCO Response Manager met at this time and the following topicwas discussed:

SAFETY: Contractors were required to wear hard hatswherever the overhead equipment was being used. Boththe FEDCO Response Manager and TAT verbally remindedthe contractors regarding this matter. Additional con-cerns were expressed regarding the wearing of safetyshoes. On the day in question, neither the PEDCO Re-sponse Manager and PEDCO Deputy Projects Manager norTAT were wearing proper safety shoes. In the interestof safety, it is the opinion of the TAT member that atthe time, a verbal warning should have been issued re-minding those not wearing propery safety shoes as donein the case of the hard hats.

TAT INVOVEMENT OF OFFLOADER STEEL BAR FROM A FLATBEDTRAILER: At approximately 1400 a truck carrying steelbars for the reinforcement of the concrete walls ar-rived on site. Attempts to locate the PEDCO ResponseManager by the OSC and TAT to arrange for the removalof the rods from the flatbed proved fruitless. At therequest of the OSC, TAT member arranged to have thesteel bars removed from the flatbed using a city-ownedfron end loader and operator* Approval to use the frontend loader was granted by the Verona Pumping StationManager. TAT assisted in the removal of the braceswhich held the rods in place on the flatbed. The rodswere then removed from the flatbed using the front endloader.

PROJECT COORDINATION: Through the project, numerousdelays occurred when equipment needed to complete theproject did not arrive as scheduled or was not ordered.Additional costs were incurred when unnecessary piecesof equipment were air-shipped.

COST ACCOUNTING: As of Satruday, May 19, 1984, DailyCERCLA 1955 froms were not submitted to the OSC forapproval for the period beginning 5/7/84 and ending5/19/84.

MEMO

TO: M. C. Hessling DATE: June 18, 1984

FROM: J- Stockwell

SUBJECT: Verona Well Field*Battle Creek, MichiganPEI PN-1008-10-1, PEAS PN-0120-01

J. Stockwell visited the subject site on Wednesday, June 13, 1984,to inspect the installation and to collect data to prepare recorddrawings. The installation is essentially as designed except thatthe arrangement is a mirror image of the plans. This will neces-sitate some redrawing in order to have record drawings.

Several items deserve special comment:

1. If the installation is to be used for more than a few months,we recommend that a pressure gauge be installed on each pumpat the spool piece between the discharge check valve and thebutterfly valve. This should be installed in conjunctionwith a drain valve so that the vertical discharge pipe canbe drained.

2. An electric heater should be installed to maintain the pumproom temperature above freezing since there is always a deadwater leg on the spare pump.

3. The control module which was installed to provide a high andlow level alarm signal will not provide both alarms. It willprovide either high or low level alarm but not both. It issuggested that it be rewired to provide a high level alarm.If the low level alarm is desired, it will be necessary toprovide an additional unit. To wire for high level only,rewire according to Figure 13, which is included with thismemo. This will require removing the wiring between 1 and1C and disconnecting the wiring between the low level probeand INC.

The pumps for the subject plant were selected on the basis of 500gpm at 80 feet of total dynamic head. Four pumps could produce2,000 gpm, which exceeds the 1,700 gpm originally requested.Pressure drop through the .filters was established at 60 feet byCalgon. Twenty feet of head was added for piping loss.

The pumps purchased are Aurora 4 x 4 x 7A Series 340. Pumps wereshipped with impellers trimmed to 5.812-inch diameter. Largerimpellers can be installed without overloading the impellers.

The enclosed pump curve shows the existing impeller in a solidline and the proposed in a dashed line. The proposed impellerscould produce 500 gpm each at a total dynamic head of 115 feetor 50 pounds. Four pu-.:ips pumping 425 gpm for a total of 1,700gpm could work satisfactorily against a total head of 125 feetor 54 pounds.

At this writing, there were seven impellers in stock which couldbe fitted for this duty. If these are sold for other purposes,it will require about 8 weeks to get new impellers from thefoundry.

Dear Dan,

This letter is a short description of the final contractor reportas discussed in our phone conversation on June 25, 1984. The ERCSResponse Manager should be familiar with writing the final report asit is a requirement of their contract #68-01-6894. The Information isfound on page 26 of their contract, listed as item #5. In the case ofthe Battle Creek Verona Well Field purge system installation, it issuggested that the following information should be addressed in thereport:

1.) The criteria and logic used to design the lift stationshould Include:

-cost justification on dry pumps vs. sub-mersible pumps,-pump specifications indicating why 500 gpmand 80 foot of head replaced the 500 gpmand 100 foot of head pumps as stated by RM,

-and calculations on flow and pump rates,retention time, level control placement,etc.

2.) Problems encountered with the carbon units and solutionsto remedy problems.

3.) Effectiveness of system installed.4.) Future recommedations for site including

-additional corrective actions,-pump maintenance,-and carbon system maintenance.

5.) Transportation costs of equipment and personnel.-Contract Indicates least costly methodshould be used.

6.) Cost justification and bid sheets on purchased material.7.) Justification of why labor costs for subcontractors were

4. Updating of the operating manual including rewording of section4.2.2, the backwash procedure, and Inclusion of a simple flowdiagram.

5. The Hoffman Brothers soil Dills.

During our conversation you also answered a number of other questionsregarding this project. Briefly, those Hens are as fo l lows:

1* The package which was originally to be sent out 6/27/84 (as perour phone conversation of 6/28/b4) and *nich contains the ACTreport, the anal>t1cal results, the Stockwell letter on Impellers,the 1900-55 forms to date, and the requested puinp information(curves, specifications, operation and nelntalnence schedules) wassent out 7/9/84.

2. The pimps were ordered 5/7/34 fron Faber Pump in Cincinnati orDayton.

3. We will be able to receive 24 hour turn-around on analyticalresults unless there are unforeseen complications.

4. There 1s no need for an electrical operations nanual .

b. The reason the pumps were ordered with 3U feet of head Insteadof 100 feet as ordinally planned (phone conversation of 4/26/84)was due to the fact that Calgon changed tnelr estimates of the re-quired head to operate the carbon units from 7b to 56 feet.Therefore, based on this fact, the eng1n*»rs in your-office believedthat there -*as no need to supply 1UO fset ot nead if Ri) feetwould be sufficient.

Finally, during our conversation I also Informed you of a few tasks thatyou as the response manager need to take care of. These are:

1. There should be no hours shown for Union Electric on the July3, 1984 1900-55 form. D1ck Hook simply took ten minutes whileworking on another project at the site and made the necessarychanges in the alarm system.

2. A purchase order needs to be Issued this week to Rick Goodmanof Battle Creek, Michigan for operation and maintenance of thecarbon units. (Your have two options for filing the 1900-55forms. Option one Is to list Rick as a subcontractor everytwo weeks at $150. Option two 1s to 11st him weekly as a labor-er level 1 working 5 hours per week.)

3. The optional final report called for In Article XVI Section 85of the ERCS contract will be required for this project. Thisreport shall detail the following:

a. The criteria and logic used to design the 11ft stationincluding:

- justification of dry pumps vs. submersible pumps(cost, availability, etc),

- pump specifications indicating why 500 gpm and 80foot of head replaced the 500 gpm and 100 foot ofhead pumps as originally stated by the RM,

- and calculations on flow and pump rates, retentiontime, level control placement, etc. •~ -.

Explanation of the cost justification for materialsand subcontractors along with the savings or added expensesassociated with each. —*

Problems encountered with the carbon units and solutionsto remedy these problems*

d. Effectiveness of the system Installed.e. Future recommedatlons for the site including

- additional corrective actions,- pump maintenance schedules,- and carbon system maintenance.

In general this report shall detail all costs, approaches used,problems encountered, and their solutions.

Dear Hike,

In order to effectively finish off the Verona Project, we need to tietogether the remaining lose ends. The Information and work that I amrequesting at this time, along with that which I requested in our phoneconversation of July 9, 1984, should result 1n the completion of the con-struction phase of this project* As you know, a final close-out date will notoccur until the system 1s shutdown and dismantled this fall.Between now and the time that the carbon system goes off-line you will needto do the following:

1. Hard copies of analytical data are to be sent out byUnited States mall to me no later than 60 hours afterthe samples are collected. (In most cases by 5:00 p.m.every Thursday).

2. Updated 1900-55 forms are to be sent out by the lastMonday of each month. All monthly costs to date Includinganalytical costs, response manager hours, and back washand sampling costs, should be Included on forms.

3. A copy of the Calgon report to Pedco which analyzed thefindings of their ACT test should be sent out to me as soonas you receive a copy of 1t.

4. Are the pumps fitted with regreasable fittings? If so, Iwill need to make the appropriate arrangements to have themgreased every 25 days.

5. Any operating and maintenance Information pertaining to allequipment 1n the dry well should be compiled and sent outto me as soon as possible.

Flnally, just for the record, I would like to clarify a misconceptionthat keeps appearing,most recently In the June 26, 1984, memo fcom JoeStockwell to you. It was originally estimated that the five purge wellswould pump 1700 gpm to the treatment system. However, at our originalsite meeting on April 25, 1984, Dave Rich of the City of Battle CreekInformed us that the five wells actually had a combined flow rate of 1950gpm. After that day, If anyone assumed that the system would operate at1700 gpm they would have been committing a gross mistake.

If you have any questions, comments, thoughts and/or suggestions, please letme know.

Sincerely yours,

Dear M1ke,

Enclosed are marked copies of the as-built drawings for the pump facilityat the Verona Well Field In Battle Creek, Michigan. I have marked all areason the drawings where errors were present or where Information was missing.In order to verify the sections dealing with the electrical wiring andcontrols at the facility, I would like you to send a copy of those specificsections to D1ck Hook at Union Electric as soon as possible. As you mayrecall, he found some errors 1n the original plans and then made thenecessary modifications. Because he actually did the work, he 1s familiarwith the system and therefore, he should also review the as-built drawings.I would appreciate 1t 1f these drawings could be corrected and sent outto me within ten days. The first draft which was dated 6/19/84 and6/28/84 was not mailed until 7/12/84. These drawings are needed In orderto complete other work we have continuing at the site, and any further;del ay at this point In time will result 1n costly delays to that project.

If you have any questions or comments pertaining to this letter or themarked drawings, please contact me.Sincerely,

5HR-13Mr. Hike HasslingPedco Environmental Incorporated11499 Chester RoadCincinnati, Ohio 45246-0100

Dear Hike:

I am returning the set of 1900-55 forms that you recently completed andsent to me for my approval. The following are my comments and questionsconcerning these forms along with the necessary changes that need to bemade before I can approve them.June 14. 1984

1. The Insulation of the piping In the dry well was to have beenperformed as a subcontract Item. (In the same manner as JackSaye was for forming the walls and the Kelly Company was forwater proofing the walls). If this task was to have been done

f as a Hne Item as you have shown 1t, then the unit rate forv the Installers would have to have been much less than what

1s shown.2* There was no 2 ton stake bed truck used by Murray Construction.

What they used was a SWAT type equipment van.

June 15. 1984

1. Installation Installers should not be listed as a Hne Item.They were a subcontractor Item.

June 26, 1984

1. I find 1t extremely hard to believe that It took 7 man hoursto specify and order the transformer. On May 11, 1984, 1ndally work order, I Instructed you to place the order forthat transformer. At that time, I also personally Informedyou of the required operating specification (namely: 225 KVaand 8320 to 480).* V fc A

2. The material section for this day 1s unacceptable as 1t nowstands. Dates need to be supplied to show when these Itemsfirst appeared on the 1900-55 forms. Quantities, whereappropriate, need to be supplied. Much greater detailthan just "miscellaneous material" for someone Is necessary.What 1s the sales tax adjustment for, and why are you showing4 additional yards of top soil from Hoffman Brothers?

Page 174: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

-2-

3. What 1s the $79.00 Emery A1r Mil for?

4. Why are Me being charged $112.00 to analyze each samplewhen the previous price you quoted me was $100.00

July 9. 1984

1. As-built drawings are only a revision and correction of original drawings.As such, they do not require over 3 man days to complete. The drawingsfor this site are very basic, straight line plans that do not containany complex curves or projections. Unless these drawings were preparedby an untrained draftsman, 1t should not have taken this long to completethem. Therefore, I suggest that you check with Mr. Stockwell, Mr. Gunker,and Mr. Hlldebrandt and verify the actual time each one spent on thistask. If you do this, I am certain that you will find that no more than15 or 16 total hours were necessary to correct the original drawings.

2* The original price quoted for sample analysis was $100.00 per sample, not$112.00.

There 1s also some work which was not Included on these forms, but which wascompleted during this time period. This Item needs to be added to the 1900-55forms before I can approve them and consider them complete. The missing ItemIs Hunter Prell's hours for July 3 and July 5, 1984 when they Installed thepressure guages and taps above each pump.These forms need to be corrected so that they accurately reflect the work whichwas done on this project* Please make all of the necessary changes, additions,and deletions and return the updated forms to me no later than August 1, 1984.If you have any problems doing this work, or 1f you have any questions orcomments, please phone me.

Sincerely yours.

Dear Dan:

Please find enclosed the analytical data for one flash point sample and fourcharcoal tube samples from the Verona Well field project. The flash pointdata was previously provided to you verbally within 24 hours of our receipt ofthe sample.

As we discussed, PEI was unable to analyze the charcoal tube samples for fourof the eight target compounds due to Interference from the extraction solvent.In order to avoid this problem in the future, it is recommended that Tenaxtubes be.used in place of charcoal. Volatiles can be thermally desorbed fromTenax, thus alleviating the need for an extraction solvent.

With regard to your inquiries pertaining to our method of analysis for 1,2-Dibromoethane, PEI uses method 624 for this work, which is applicable to GC/MSanalysis. Method 601 is intended for use with a simpler gas chromatograph.

If you have any further questions regarding these analyses, please call us at513/782-4700.

Dear Dan:

ERA Contract No. 68-01-6894Delivery Order No. 6894-05-008Verona Well Field Project Remedial Response

Section I

In your letters of July 17, July 19, and July 24, 1984, you requested that PEIundertake several additional tasks relative to the Verona Well Field project.We would like to apprise you of our progress in these efforts to date.

In regard to your letter of July 17, the following information is providedcorresponding to the specific points you raised.

1. As-built drawings were released by PEAS, Inc. on July 9 and forwarded toyou on July 11, 1984. As indicated in our phone conversation of June 26,PEAS had previously indicated that these drawings may be finished asearly as July 2, 1984. Apparently they were held for several dayspending senior engineering review and approval.

2. PEAS, Inc. first presented its preliminary design for a wet well/dry wellsystem including five horizontal centrifugal pumps on Tuesday, May 1.Vendors were contacted on May 2 and 3 and a total of seven bids werereceived, along with available delivery dates. This information wasconveyed to you on May 3, along with our recommendation that Aurora Pumpbe selected as the supplier. Under your specific direction, PEI'sResponse Manager instructed PEAS on Friday May 4 to order these pumps.

3. No documentation has been provided by PEAS, Inc. regarding their effortsto procure vertical turbine pumps for the wet well; however, our notesindicate that the earliest design concepts involved two vertical turbinepumps rated at about 1700 gpm and 100 ft of head each. This approach wasconsidered between Friday, April 27 and Tuesday, May 1 and was replacedby the wet well/dry well design due to the apparent unavailability ofturbine pumps within an acceptable time frame.

4. The Calgon Carbon Corporation has provided, at no charge to the project,a comprehensive operating manual for the treatment system installed inBattle Creek. As we have previously discussed, the backwash and flowdiagram sections of this manual do not effectively meet the needs of theU.S. EPA. In addition, the manual does not reflect certain systemmodifications that were made following the preparation of that text. In

Mr. Daniel M. Caplice - 2 - August 21, 1984

order to accurately rewrite these sections, and develop a revised systemflowsheet, it will be necessary to visit the site. PEI's ResponseManager is prepared to visit the Verona site to effect the necessarychanges upon your authorization.

5. Please find enclosed documentation of the materials purchased fromHoffman Brothers, Inc. Apparently this item was omitted from the packageof supporting documents sent you in support of our Invoice No. 1008-1.We apologize for any Inconvenience this omission may have caused.

6. During our telephone conversation of June 28, 1984 we indicated thatseveral items, including Mr. Stockwell's letter, complete 1900-55 formsto date, pump curves and specifications, the Accelerated Column Testreport, and as-built drawings would be forwarded to you as soon as theywere available. As we indicated at that time, several of these items hadnot yet been received by our office. The 1900-55 forms were at that timebeing modified daily to Include the additional equipment and materialsinvoices that were arriving daily from our Battle Creek suppliers. Thiscomplete package was sent to you on July 11, 1984.

7. As indicated in our phone conversation of July 9, five horizontal centri-fugal pumps rated at 500 gpm and 80 feet were ordered on Monday morning,1 May 7, from Faber Pump, a manufacturer's representative of Aurora Pump.

8. PEI will continue to provide analysis of all VOA samples within 24 hoursof receipt of the sample. Preparation of computer printed results, alongwith approval/release through our Internal quality assurance programoccasionally causes delays of up to a day in our forwarding the hard-copyresults. Nonetheless, printed analytical results of all samples receivedon Wednesday (as expected) will be mailed to your office no later thanthe following Friday. If necessary, we can also provide these results toyou verbally on Thursday afternoon.

9. We concur with your decision that an electrical operating manual isunnecessary for the Verona System. The electrical drawings provided inthe record set are adequate for the use of an electrician, and normaloperation of the system is sufficiently simple that printed instructionsshould not be required.

10. Preliminary pump specifications calling for 100 feet of head were basedupon early conversations with Calgon, during which they indicated apressure drop of 75 to 80 feet across the adsorber. Subsequent to ourconversation of Aprfl 26, PEI requested that Calgon conduct more precisepressure drop calculations. Calgon engineers responded with a revisedpressure drop estimate of- 56 feet. This provided the basis for Mr.Stockwell's revision of the pump specifications to a less expensive 80feet of head.

Page 181: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

Mr. Daniel M. Caplice - 3 - August 21, 1984

11. No charges have been included in the 1900-55 forms for Union Electn'c'sactivities of July 3, 1984.

12. Under your specific direction, Mr. Rick Goodman has been hired by PEI asa laborer to backwash the carbon units and to take VGA samples. Thereare, however, several points relative to this arrangement that must beemphasized. PEI's standard procedure when requested to provide fieldsampling and equipment maintenance personnel is to evaluate the abilityof our subcontract team to respond to the request. In the Verona in-stance, PEI proposed to use trained and experienced personnel from O.H.'sGrand Rapids office, less than one hour from the site.

The ERCS program has also hired local laborers at sites where circum-stances warranted. Such personnel are generally hired by the PEI ResponseManager who also determines the rate and schedule for payment. Yourselection of Mr. Goodman at the substantial rate of S15.00 per hour isnot consistent with PEI's standard hiring policies; however, PEI hasaccepted this arrangement in the interest of maintaining a positiveworking relationship on this project. We are confident that such circum-stances will not arise again.

13. PEI would like to acknowledge at this time receipt of your formal requestfor a project final report. Mike Hessling of PEI and Joe Stockwell ofPEAS have begun documenting the early phases of conceptual system plan-ning and preliminary design. The final report will include a descriptionof the approach used, a summary of all costs, and a discussion of theproblems encountered. This report will be submitted within 30 daysfollowing completion of this project. It is our understanding that thisactivity will be billed to the Battle Creek delivery order at the fixedrates for the labor categories required to prepare the report.

In your letter of July 19, 1984 you noted several items that PEI would beresponsible for prior to the completion of this project. The followingsummarizes our progress to date with respect to these activities.

1. As previously mentioned, PEI will continue to conduct the requiredanalysis within 24 hours of receipt of the samples. Printed copies ofanalytical data will be forwarded to you no later than the following day.

2. A set of 1900-55 forms including all costs not previously submitted isbeing forwarded to you under separate cover. No additional 1900-55 formsshould be required until September 9, when the monthly charge expires forthe carbon units.

Page 182: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

Mr. Daniel M. CapUce - 4 - August 21, 1984

3. Please find enclosed another copy of the Accelerated Column Test reportfrom Calgon Carbon Corporation. No additional information has beenreceived from Calgon regarding this test.

4. PEI did not specify regreasable or nonregreasable bearings when orderingpumps. Further, none of the literature provided by the manufacturer isspecific in this regard. It will therefore be necessary to examine thepump casings for grease fittings, which you can perform at -your conveni-ence, or PEI can do when preparing the backwash manual.

5. All operating and maintenance literature provided to us by suppliers tothe Verona Well Field project has previously been forwarded to you.

6. Finally, with regard to the design flowrate for the treatment system atBattle Creek, PEI first learned of the inaccurately reported capacity ofone of the wells through a phone conversation with you on May 2. At thattime we informed you that the system was designed for 1700 gpm but mayhave some additional capacity. You also indicated that the groundwatermodeling for the site had apparently been based upon 1700 gpm and that aslight reduction in flow from 1950 gpm would therefore not impair theeffectiveness of the purge system. On May 26, we examined the 750 gpmwell and determined that partial closure of its gate valve to effect areduction in total flow rate from 1950 to 1700 gpm would be possible.

On June 4, after observing that the system as installed could handle onlyabout 1750 gpm, and that capacity decreased after two days of operationdue to increasing pressure drops across the carbon units, we recommendedthat a fifth adsorber be installed to handle the full 1950 gpm and torelieve the loading on the other four units. At this time, PEI requesteda modification of our delivery order, which specifically requires asystem capable of treating approximately 1700 gpm. Despite the fact thedelivery order has not been modified, PEI ordered a fifth Calgon carbonunit on June 5, and put that unit into service in less than ten days.

In response to your letter of July 24, two sets of marked-up prints of therecord drawings have been forwarded to PEAS, Inc. for revision of the mylaroriginals. A third set of prints, which was forwarded to Union Electric forcomments at your request, has not yet been returned. PEAS will revise andissue a final set of record drawings upon receipt and incorporation of allthree sets of comments. If you need a partially updated set of prints in theinterim, please let us know.

In summary, we understand that our remaining committment on the Verona WelField project is to provide you with:

1. Printed analytical results for eight VOA samples per week to bemailed to you no later than two days from receipt of the samples,and in most cases the following day.

Mr. Daniel M. Cap!ice - 5 - August 21, 1984

2. A final report to include our approach, problems encountered,solutions used, and a summary of all costs.

3. A complete set of 1900-55 forms addressing all costs not previouslysubmitted, and additional forms for September 9 and as needed tocomplete the project.

4. Final record drawings incorporating comments by Dick Hook, MikeHessling and yourself.

5. A revised operating manual for the treatment system at Battle Creek.Revisions will include an improved section on backwashing, a revisedand simplified flow diagram, and modifications to the text toreflect the addition of a fifth carbon unit.

Dan, we trust that the above activities plus demobilization of the carbonsystem will fulfill our remaining requirements under this delivery order. Ifadditional services should be required, please contact me or John Bruck at513/782-4700.

SUBJECT: Verona Wellfleld, Purgewater Treatment System

Your memo to Steve £1 dredge of August 14, 1984 requested our assistance 1nIdentifying mandatory and reconroended design changes for the referenced treat-ment system. The following are our comments at this time. Further commentsmay. follow after we receive and review the plans for this treatment system.

Wetwell/Drywell

1. It 1s recommended that the trap doors accessing the drywell be removed/ and that this area be enclosed within a shed-type building.

2. This shed, 1f constructed, must Include mechanical ventilation, de-hum1d1f1 cation and heating equipment.

3. If the trap doors are retained and a shed 1s not constructed, theymust have a rubber seal Installed to prevent excessive leakage ofwater into the drywell. Mechanical ventilation, dehum1d1f1 cationand heating equipment must be Installed 1n the drywell if the trapdoors are retained.

4.- In either case, shed or not, a railing must be Installed around theaccess pit and the ladder extended above ground level for Improvedaccess safety.

5. Due to the lack of plans for review, we have no Information as to what •alarms are provided. Both high and low water level alarms must be pro-vided in the wetwell and a high level alarm in the drywell sump, toprotect the pumps and other electrical equipment present.

'6. There must also be an alarm on the wetwell emergency overflow to mini-mize the amount of untreated water discharged to the sewer, / '

Use of Sodium Hypochlorlte

1. Conversations with the Water Quality Surveillance Section Indicate thatdischarging the untreated hypochlorlte* solution would greatly exceedany chlorine limit that might be developed. An alternate method of disposalfor this solution roust be developed. Some examples of acceptable disposalmethods are listed:

a. Provide a storage tank for the used hypochlorlte solution, thenhaul It away for disposal.

b. Provide a storage tank for the used solution, dechlorfnate it,then feed it Into the discharge while the air stripping systemis in operation.

c. Add a dechlorlnatlng agent (sodium sulflte was suggested) whilethe solution 1s still 1n the stripper tower, circulate brieflyto ensure maximum dechlor1nat1on,tnen discharge to the sewer.

If the dechlorlnatlng agent 1s sodium sulflte, it should be keptin mind that this chemical has an Immediate oxygen demand. Thus,the neutralized solution should be aerated prior to dischargeto ensure that all of the sodium sulflte 1s reacted.

*0ischarge of any detectable chlorine 1s unauthorized andwould be considered a permit violation.

2. Has consideration been given to using something other than chlorine fordisinfection? Why was chlorlnation selected?

Miscellaneous

1. Con den sate from the carbon adsorption units should be tested prior to dis-charge into the sewer to ensure that levels of contaminants are not presentthat might cause the discharge to exceed permit limitations. Ideally thiscon dens ate should be directed back to the wetwell, but this may not befeasible.

2. To provide the permit required review and approval of these facilities priorto start of operations, the appropriate plans and specifications must besubmitted. Delays in approval for system start-up will occur if these plansare not submitted in a timely fashion.

John BrouckAssociate DirectorWaste Management DivisionPEDCO Environmental Incorporated11499 Chester RoadP.O. Box 46100Cincinnati, Ohio 45246

Dear Mr. Brouck:

During the past month, I have had numerous telephone conversations and I haveissued a number of directives to the Response Manager assigned to the VeronaWell Field Project (Delivery Order Number 0008). All of these dealt withwork and information that needed to be performed and supplied in relation tothis project. To date, much of the work and information requested has notbeen completed or supplied.

Some of the items missing are basic requirements of the ERCS contract and thedelivery order, and much of the information requested was needed in order tokeep our other ongoing work at the site progressing smoothly. The lack ofinformation has had a significant negative impact on this project.

The following are some examples of the problems I have had with Pel:

1. Completion of the daily 1900-55 forms has been routinely days andeven weeks late. There has not been an acceptable 1900-55 fonncompleted since June 14, 1984. (On July 9, 1984, forms were sub-mitted for the period between June 15, 1984, and July 9, 1984.These were unacceptable and were returned for revisions and correc-tions on July 23, 1984. Nothing has been submitted since that date.)

2. The daily work orders of May 11, 15, 16 and 22, 1984, stated that thetransformer was to have been ordered. The order was not actuallyplaced until June 15, 1984. As a result, the delivery and tystallationcould not be completed until August 2, 1984. This resulted in a delayof the testing of the air stripping unit.

3. On June 13, 1984, a PEI Engineer, spent most of the day on-sitecollecting information and doing take-offs so that he could completeas-built drawings of the 11ft station. Those drawingS'Were datedJune 19 and June 28, 1984. They were not mailed to me until July 12,1984. When I reviewed them I found them incomplete, and unacceptable,

so I returned them with my comments on July 23, 1984. To date I havenot received any corrected copies. The main reasons for the as-builtswere to assist contractors doing other work on the site, and to enablethe Michigan Department of Natural Resources to prepare a CooperativeAgreement for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the air strippingunit that will replace the carbon vessels. Construction of the airstripper was completed 1n early August, and currently progress on theCooperative Agreement is stalled pending completion of the O&M Manual,

4. Rick Goodman of Battle Creek was selected in late June to maintainand operate the carbon system and collect weekly samples. He hasbeen performing these tasks in good faith since July 3, 1984; howevar,

. to date, no purchase order has been issued to him for his work.

5. A supply of sample bottles and shipping materials has to be maintainedin Battle Creek. However, on three separate occasions the supply hasbeen exhausted and the materials had to be rushed out at the lastsecond. On each occasion, PEI was Informed in advance that the supplywas running low and that it needed to be replenished immediately.

There have been numerous other problems but 1t would serve no purpose to furtherenumerate them at this time. As a response contractor, PEI has failed to complywith both major and minor provisions of the ERCS contract and the delivery orderfor this project. The firm has also had serious trouble carrying out requests,performing work, and generally managing this delivery order.

While it may be true that most work and information was eventually performedand delivered, the unnecessary delays In accomplishing this has resulted inincreased costs and delays in completion of this project.

There 1s still a great deal of information that is needed and much work thathas to be performed on this project. Some time during the next 3 to 6 weeksthe carbon units will have to be disassembled and arrangements will have to bemade to clean and salvage the pipe and fittings that have been used. Uponcompletion of the field work, all costs and forms will have to be completedand finalized. The final project report, as outlined in my July 17, 1984,letter to PEI, will have to be prepared and submitted in draft form no laterthan 45 days after completion of work at the site.

Unlike most delivery orders that have been submitted under the ERCS contracts,this one has been a very large scale, complex, and demanding project. Becauseof this, the response contractor needs to effectively set priorities to handle

the demands of a project this size. This must be done quickly to come to termswith the demands of this project. The status of this project can no longerremain 1n Its current state of incompleteness and uncertainty.

If you have any questions or coiiwients or 1f you would like to discuss thismatter further, please contact me at*(312) 886-0397.

Dear Dan:

ERA Contract No. 68-01-6894Delivery Order No. 6894-05-008Verona Well Field Project

As directed in your letter of July 24, please find enclosed the 1900-55 formsfor June 14 and 26, July 5 and 9, and August 9 for the subject delivery order.All of these except the July 5 and August 9 forms were previously submitted toyou on July 12, 1984. Please sign these and return the yellow copies to ouroffice at your earliest convenience. The issues raised in your July 24 letterare addressed below.

1. It was our understanding that the insulation of all piping in the drywell would be billed as fixed rate labor and materials per our discussionof June 12. However, per your direction we have modified the 1900-55form for June 14 to show this activity as a reimbursable cost (cost plus3%) subcontract. A copy of the Invoice from Drake Insulation is enclosed,

2. As you indicated in your letter, Murray Construction used a 2-ton paneltruck instead of a stake-bed truck on June 14. This change has beenincorporated into the 1900-55 form for that day.

3. On the 1900-55 form for June 26, we indicated that 7 hours had been spentby PEAS personnel to specify and order the transformer. These hours werein fact spent on several tasks, the most significant of which involvedlocating transformer manufacturers, issuing bid specifications andanswering questions for potential bidders, and finally accepting bids andselecting a vendor. In addition, Mr. Stockwell provided assistance inordering probes to fit our adjusted overflow height, and in reordering aground probe fitting.

4. Please find enclosed copies of supporting documents for all materialscharges included on the 1900-55 form for July 26, 1984. All availableinformation regarding quantities, delivery dates, etc., is included inthese invoices. We have also modified the daily 1900-55 form to providethe additional clarification requested in your July 24 letter. Fouryards of additional top soil were required to bring the surrounding levelof the lift station to finished grade.

5. The $79 air freight bill from Emery was for shipment of probes fromElectronics Corporation of America in Manchester, N.H.

6. With regard to our analytical costs, we provided you with a verbalestimate of $100 per sample on May 30, 1984. This estimate includedanalysis of five samples per week for seven chlorinated organics, whichwe discussed at the time of our estimate. In addition, PEI would provideshipping containers, packing materials, standard tags, chain-of-custodyforms, five sample bottles, and round-trip shipping of samples. Sincethat time, you have requested that PEI expand the analytical program toinclude 1,2-dibromoethane and pH. The additional $12.00 per samplesimply covers the additional organic compound and pH,

7. The 1900-55 forms for June 26 and July 9 show a total of 28 hours dedi-cated to the preparation of as-built drawings. During this period thefollowing activities were also undertaken by PEAS personnel.0 A new structural record drawing was developed to replace the 8* x 11

engineering plans and sections which are inappropriate for permanentrecord.

0 Possible methods for increasing pump head were Investigated, and Mr..- Stockwell contacted the manufacturer of the pumps about supplying

\ larger impellers.0 PEAS provided you with a letter explaining the use of large impellers

to increase available pump head. This letter also transmitted pumpcurves which had been highlighted to demonstrate the operatingconditions at the Verona Well Field.

0 PEAS engineers also reviewed possible wiring schemes for the levelcontrols and alarms and determined a method for providing a workableoverflow alarm without purchasing an additional probe, as had beenplanned.

If you have any further questions regarding these 1900-55 forms, pleasecontact me or John Bruck at 513/782-4700.

Dear Mr. Caplice:

In response to your letter of August 28, and in confirmation of the telephoneconversation between Messrs. Bowden, Vanderlaan, Jutze, Hessling, you and me,I offer the following comments.

Generally, I think we all agree that considering the "high profile" nature ofthe Battle Creek project, and the technical and timing (particularly) con-straints, the current status of the treatment system is quite commendable.This is due largely to the capabilities and cooperation of all parties in-volved.

The particular "problems" noted in your letter have been resolved, or will beresolved in the performance of the delivery order, as we discussed. We willdiscuss these in more detail with you during our September 11 meeting inCincinnati.

It is important to make clear to you that, 1n our opinion, the conclusionsdrawn in your letter ("As a response contractor, PEI has failed to comply withboth major and minor provisions of the ERCS contract and the delivery orderfor this project. The firm has also had serious trouble carrying out requests,performing work, and generally managing this delivery order.") are unfoundedand unfair. We have fully cooperated with and met the needs of all projectpersonnel, and clearly complied with the provisions of the ERCS contract andthe specific requirements of the delivery order. Any conclusion to thecontrary would be wrong. A retraction of your conclusions would be welcomedand appreciated.

5. As you pointed out during the meeting, charges for the Accelerated ColumnTest (ACT) have not yet appeared on a 1900-55 form. We have contactedCalgon regarding this apparent omission and anticipate a reply shortly.If additional charges are pending, they will appear on the October1900-55 form.

6. In order to document the various activities performed by PEAS personnel,it is agreed that our letter to you dated August 29 should be attached asan integral part of all copies of the 1900-55's for June 26 and July 9.

7. As indicated in your letter of July 17, a final report will be preparedfollowing the completion of this project. This report will summarize theapproach used, problems encountered, and solutions to those problems andwill include a summary of all costs on the project. In general, thisreport will address all of the subjects suggested in your letter with theexception of item 3d (effectiveness of the system installed), which willbe handled by your office.

8. It is ancitipated that the carbon treatment system will be placed onstandby on or about September 19, when the air stripping unit is placedin service. These units will remain on standby for a period of about 2to 4 weeks during which the air stripper is evaluated and demonstrated tobe reliable.

. As we discussed, the ERCS contract requires, under Article XXII, thatequipment shall not remain on standby for periods exceeding 14 consecu-tive days without the written approval of the contractor. Such writtenapproval may not present a problem for PEI, provided we do not develop amonthly standby rate for this equipment (under the 14-day constraints ofArticle XXII a monthly standby situation could not occur). The Zone•Program Manager, Mr. John Bruck, will discuss this last issue with thecontracting officer and, 1f possible, will provide the required writtenapproval as appropriate.

9. As you have directed, during the period of evaluation of the air stripperPEI will continue to provide VGA analysis of samples from the Veronasite. We anticipate that 4 samples will be analyzed per week, includingthe inlet and outlet streams, a blank sample, and one duplicate. We willcontinue to provide this analysis on a 24-hour turnaround basis at a costof $112.00 per sample. Sufficient sample bottles, labels, coolers, etc.have been shipped to the site to accommodate four weeks of sampling.

10. Finally, it is our understanding that demobilization of the carbontreatment system is scheduled for the second or third week of October.PEI will make arrangements for the following activities to occur asscheduled during the demobilization week.

SUBJECT: interpretation of the ERCS Contract

c

TO:

Daniel M. CapHce, RPM/OSCRemedial Response Section !

&/

Dorothy BrittonContracting OfficerProcurement Section H (PM-214F)

During the past four months there has been a great deal of confusion 1n re-gard to the proper Interpretation of the ERCS Contract {Number 68-01-6894).The primary questions concern the proper and appropriate mode of billingthe various services that the ERCS contractor supplies. The specific areas1n question are Article XI; Article XII and Article XXXIV.

Article XII should provide a clear Interpretation of fixed versus re-imbursable costs that may be Incurred by contractors and subcontractorsduring the performance of work and the contract. The current format of thisarticle allows for a very wide spectrum of interpretations on this subject.

There are primarily two views that are presented depending on who Is doingthe Interpretation. These are as follows:

1. If an Item 1s listed 1n Exhibit C, then Irrespective of the item'ssource, cost, or supplier, according to Article XI and Article XIIparagraphs 8 and C, the Item 1s to be paid for at the rate speci-fied 1n Exhibit C. This point of view effectively eliminates re-imbursable costs which are addressed in Article XII paragraphs F,G, and H.

2. Based on a strict Interpretation of Article XII, the fixed ratesin Exhibit C can only be paid 1f the Items are supplied by theprime contractor (PEI) or one of the sixteen subcontractors aslisted 1n Article XXXIV. When Items are furnished by subcontrac-tors which are not listed 1n Article XXXIV, the costs shall bereimbursable ones, and shall be limited to the actual costsIncurred plus a material and handling change of three percent.

The original purpose of this contract was to provide an effective methodto quickly respond to emergencies arising from hazardous substance re-leases or threats of release. While It may have orglnally been plannedthat this contract would be primarily a fixed rate contract, the pre-sent format of this contract 1s primarily cost-plus.

VAPONM

In order to avoid problems on future delivery orders, a review of thecontract should be conducted as soon as possible. An attorney with agood background 1n contract lav/ should review, modify, and purpose anamendment to the contract. He should be specifically concerned withany area that deals with the subject of fixed versus reimbursible costs.If the original intent was for this to be primarily a fixed rate contract,then it should be revised to correctly reflect this intention. Becausethis contract Is new and because there is a great deal of work that hasyet to be performed, this matter needs to be promptly resolved.

If you have any comments or questions pertaining to this matter, pleasecontact me at FTS 886-0397.

Dear Mr. Brouck:

After discussing the various problems related to the Battle Creek project 1nour telephone conference call and our September 11, 1984 meeting in Cincinnati,I believe that the status of the project has now been adequately cleared up andshould be able to proceed smoothly through the completion of the delivery order.

As a result of the meeting, most of the information that was missing has beensupplied. However, at this point, there still remain a few Items that need tobe provided and a couple of Issues that need to be resolved. These are asfollows:

1. Competitive pricing documentation on EPA form 1900-51 or on PEI'sInquiry Summary Sheet must be provided ty PEI for wall forming,Insulation of piping, the electrical transformer, and verticalturbine pumps. These forms are to be submitted to the U.S. EPAbefore October 15, 1984.

2. As-built drawings need to be corrected and finalized based on mycomments that were conveyed at the September 11 meeting. The drawingswere to be finalized and four sets were to be mailed out by MondaySeptember 17, 1984.

3. An extension of the Required Work Completion Date must be obtained.This 1s necessary because, even though all field work will be com-pleted before that date (October 25, 1984), work on the final projectreport will not be finished until later this year.

4. The ERCS contract does not allow any items to be billed standby ratesfor longer than two weeks. The carbon units will be idle for almostfour weeks while they act as a backup system for the air stripper when itbegins operation. Some sort of compromise on how the carbon unitswill be billed during that time period must be reached by October 4, 1984

Once the above Items have been supplied and the issues resolved, this projectshould be in good order to address the final phases of work, I am confident

that the plans and proposed schedule for these tasks, which were developed at theSeptember 11 meeting, can be readily met, and that the project can be satisfac-torily completed shortly thereafter.

If you have any further questions or comments pertaining to this project, theconference telephone call, or the September 11, 1984 meeting, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Schuler,

This 1s just to confirm our telephone conversation of September 4, 1984.

At that time I requested you, or some one at the Verona Station, to perform

some brief maintenance of the pumps 1n the dry well of the newly constructed

U.S. EPA 11ft station. Specifically, I requested that pumps one through four

be greased. There are two grease fittings on each pump, and three or four

shots of all purpose grease had to be applied at each fitting. I believe that

this task was performed shortly after we spoke.

Thank you very much for your help on this matter. Your cooperation throughout

this project has been greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Caplice:

Regarding your letter of September 28, 1984, we have addressed the specificpoints raised relative to the subject delivery order.

1. As you are aware, no price competition was carried out for wallforming, insulation, the electrical transformer or the verticalturbine pumps. The extremely short schedule dictated the use ofavailable equipment and contractors without routine cost competi-tion. This was confirmed five months ago in my May 7 telephoneconversation with you, when we discussed competition of materialsand services and agreed that in most (if not all) cases it would beimpossible. This was later discussed and approved on May 8 and 11with the ERCS DPO, Bob Bowden. Further, we recommended on a numberof occasions that the form and insulation work be performed underthe fixed rate provisions of the contract, thus obviating the needfor competition. These recommendations were disallowed by you.Provision of these services, materials and equipment were clearlyperformed under your direction and approval.

2. As-built drawings, Including all pertinent comments, are finalizedand have been sent to you.

3. An extension of the required work completion date can be obtainedthrough a request from you to the Contracting Officer, Mrs. DorothyBritton. I have discussed this with Mrs. Britton and she is awareof the situation.

Dear Mr. Hessling,

This letter Is following-up to our telephone conversation of October12, 1984. At that time we discussed the schedule of activities fordismantling the carbon adsorbtlon/filtration system in Battle Creek,Michigan. The work schedule 1s as follows:

Monday 10/22/84 (8:OOAM EOT)

1. Hunter Prell (HP) workers on site begin dismantling inlet piping.

2. Calgon Carbon (CC), using the HP air compressor, begins emptyingcarbon vessels A and B.

3. When units A and B are empty, HP workers are to begin preparingthe units for shipment.

Tuesday 10/23/84

1. CC is to empty units C and D.

2. HP to finish the preparation of units A and B for shipment.

3. Additional HP personnel are to begin preparing units C andD for shipment.

Wednesday 10/24/84

1. HP helps CC load units A & B on Calgon trucks for transport.(Schweitzer's crane is to be on site by 8:OOAM for loading of unitsA and B.)

2. CC empties unit E.

3. HP is to finish preparing units C and D for shipment.

4. HP is to prepare unit E for shipment after it is empty.

Page 225: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

Thursday 10/25/84

1. HP and CC workers load unit C, D and E for transport.

2. HP finishes dismantling remaining system piping.

3. All U.S. EPA piping 1s to be steam cleaned.

Friday 10/26/84

1. Site clean up.

2. If necessary, finish steam cleaning all pipe.

3. Complete all paper work.

This is a tight schedule that can only be met if all parties involvedcooperate with each other and begin on time. Federal and state regulation'sprohibit the carbon units from being transported during the week-end. The carbon units have to be shipped approximately 500 miles,therefore, all of the units must be loaded and ready for transport by Fridaymorning. If there are unnecessary for unexpected delays 1n this schedule,workers may have to work overtime on Thursday to meet the Friday transportdeadline.

The painting that is necessary at the site will be done on Monday orTuesday, and a represenative from Galloup should be on site by Wednesdaymorning to evaluate the materials available for salvage. At the end ofeach work day a complete 1900-55 form is to be submitted to me for approval,and on Monday October 20, 1984 a complete 1900-55 form must be submittedfor tim period of September 12, 1984 through October 21, 1984.

If you have any questions about this schedule, or 1f you foresee anyproblems or complications that may arise, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Brouck,

During my September 11, 1984 meeting with M1ke Hessllng 1n your offices,we discussed and prepared a schedule for the final phase of the BattleCreek project. Before that meeting was concluded, we had both agreedon the schedule. PEI, the primary contractor for this project, wasthen responsible for contacting the various subcontractors Involvedtc Inform them of the schedule so that they could make any necessaryarrangements.

Apparently, PEI dld^notlfythe subcontractors until almost three weeks later.The primary subcontractor^~Calgon Carbon, has Informed me that they did notreceive official notification until late on October 10, 1984. As a result ofthis, tjxe' final phase of this project has now been delayed one week.

Hopefully i 4w1 11 be no Increased costs as a result of this forcedschedule change. This Is representative of the continuing problems wehave had with PEI as the primary response contractor for this project. Iam particularly distressed over this Incident because 1t has occurreddespite our telephone conference call and subsequent meeting.

Subject: ERA Contract No. 68-01-6894 ~r-Delivery Order No. 6894-05-008Verona Well Project

Dear Mr. Caplice:

In response to your request on the subject project for the reasoning behindour recommendation of a dry well and end suction pumps over a wet well withturbine pumps, we offer the following information.

The original statement of work, as stated in the delivery order, called for afiltration system to handle 1,700 gpm and to remove at least 95 percent of

x volatile organic solvents. Our first thought was that possibly someone made a( package system that would suffice. No such package was available in the formV of a previously designed or off-the-shelf item. To design and build such a

self-contained unit would require several months.

A wet well with two turbine pumps was considered and several vendors werecontacted {see attached list). Each pump would have been powered by a 60- or75-horsepower motor and would have cost about $7,600 each, or $15,200 for thetwo pumps. Delivery on this equipment was quoted to us as 12 to 16 weeks,eliminating them as a possibility for further consideration.

We found end suction pumps available on a 7- to 10-day delivery. Four 20-horsepower pumps would handle 2,000 gpm and a fifth pump could serve as astandby. Smaller motors were more suitable for the stop-start operationanticipated. Total cost for the five pumps was $6,940. The associatedproject costs for these alternatives were probably similar since the turbinepump installation would have required some sort of weather protective build-ing, while the end suction pumps required only a dry well. Further, as theflow rate/pressure drop requirements were increased, the end suction pumpscould adapt easier than turbine pumps, as well as having smaller incrementalstandby requirements. Our final recommendation, however, was determined bydelivery schedule, which was considered urgent at that time.

MEMORANDUM

Pat McKay, DNR, Hazardous Waste Division,Remedial Action Section

DATE: 11/1/84

FROM: Jack Novak

HeilthEmployee Health Hazard evaluation at the Verona Well Field/Water decontamination project.

The noise level, based upon a walk-around survey with a sound level meter,is 98 dBA (average) inside the room housing the air stripper motor/blower.The Occupational Health MIOSHA standard therefore sets a maximum exposuretime inside the room of 2 hours 45 minutes per 8 hour workshift. The useof ear protection (ear muffs or plugs) could extend the allowable exposuretime. Any other noise exposure above 90 dBA during the same workshift wouldreduce the time allowed inside the room.

If the work activity requirements for the operators turn out to be ascurrently foreseen, it is unlikely that the MIOSHA noise standard willbe exceeded. However, since it is desirable to reduce any employee exposureas much as is feasible, and also desirable to avoid potential communitynoise complaints, this Division advises that substantial noise reductionsmay be attained by retrofitting sound deadening material to the blower airinlet. Give us a call (373-1410) if you want more details.

We also discussed work activities related to the dry well. It will benecessary for employees to periodically enter this area. We considerthe dry well to be a process space the entry of which Is regulated byour confined space entry rule (R3301). Briefly stated, 00 employee —•(without approved safety and respiratory protective devices) may enter fthe dry well without first thoroughly ventilating the space and testing \ *the atmosphere within to verify its resplrability. Minimum testingnormally Includes oxygen content and combustible gases concentration. Inthis case, we recommend also testing for hydrogen sulfide. Our OccupationalHealth Guide "C" is included for your information.

MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTHDIVISION OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH GUIDE C

CONFINED OR PROCESS SPACE ENTRY

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTHFor the purpose of this guide the phrase "confined or process space" means

any space which has limited openings for employee entry and exit, unfavorablenatural ventilation which could contain or produce dangerous concentrations ofair contaminants, flanmable gases or vapors, or a deficiency of oxygen, and isnot intended for continuous employee occupancy. Confined or process spacesinclude, but are not limited to: storage tanks, process vessels, bins, boilers,ventilation or exhaust ducts, sewers, underground utility vaults, tunnels,pipelines, and open top spaces more than four feet in depth such as pits, cubs,vaultsi and vessels.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS

Michigan Occupational Health Standards administered by the Department ofPublic Health include requirements for entry into confined or process spaces.The specific requirements are found in Rules 3301, 3302, and 3303.

The General Industry Safety Standards of the Michigan Department of Labor,Part 1 - General Rules include rules dealing with work in confined or hazardousspaces.

EMPLOYERS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The employer shall comply with all occupational health and safecy rulesand instruct all employees of the hazards involved, the necessary precautionsto be taken, and in the use of protective and emergency equipment required.

ENTRY PROCEDURES

Michigan Occupational Health Standards have specific rules which requireprecautions to be employed before and during employee entry into a confinedor process space. Both the rules and some guidelines are used in the followingstrategy:

Ventilate and Teat

Prior to employee entry, the confined or process space shall be thoroughlyventilated and then tested to determine the presence of a respirable atmosphere.The testing should consist of the determination for the percentage of oxygen,the percentage of possible combustible gases, and the airborne concentration ofany suspected chemicals. Guidelines for determining a minimally acceptablerespirable atmosphere for these three categories are: oxygen, 19.SZ; combustiblegas, SZ of the lower explosive limit (L.E.L.) for each gas; chemicals, theairborne concentration of each chemical present oust be compared vith the MichiganOccupational health limits—Maximum Allowable Concentration. Exposure to aconcentration at or below the established limit would not disable an individualand thereby prevent self-rescue. If any detectable amount of a combustible orchemical gas or vapor is present or the percentage of oxygen is less than 19.5X,proper ventilation should be continued to maintain a respirable atmosphere. Thetesting should be done by a qualified person who is familiar with the Instrumentcalibration and operation and the testing procedures.

Ventilation Information

Some dilution ventilation information is contained in the A.C.G.l.H.Manual, Industrial Ventilation (copies of this Information are available fromthe M.D.P.H. upon request). It also contains information about fan types,selection, and inlet and outlet connections. When flexible duct will be usedwith a fan, its extra resistance to airflow (friction loss) must be consideredin sizing the fan. The duct manufacturer should be able to supply friction lossinformation for his products.

After selection and purchase of the ventilation equipment, a test run of theassembly is recommended to check the operation and air volume to prevent possibleproblem* at the site.

Page 235: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

Exercise caution to prevent recirculation of the exhaust air or contaminationof the air supplied to the confined or process space. A common contaminationsource is the exhaust from portable gasoline engines operating the ventilationfan or from nearby idling vehicles.

BLOWER

Proper ventilation should be continuously provided tomaintain a respirable atmosphere.

Entry Procedures

Confined or process space entry requires definite procedures. Supervisoryauthorization ffhould be obtained prior to entry. Entry permits have beenadopted by experienced employers for this purpose (see Figure 2). Also, theneed for a personnel check-in/check-out system at the point of entry for a

i-ontined or process space should be apparent (see Figure 3).

Respiratory Equipment

In the absence of ventilation and testing or if the tests Indicate a non-respirable atmosphere, a person trained in the use of respiratory equipmentshall be authorized to enter the space. He shall be equipped with an escape typeair-line respirator or a self-contained breathing apparatus, a safety harness,and a lifeline before entry. The employee shall also wear protective clothing ifthe contaminant in the confined or process space can cause dermatitis or canbe absorbed through the skin. Smoking should be prohibited when in any confinedor process space.

Page 238: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

Written procedures shall be prepared covering the proper use of respiratorsIn normal operations or during emergencies. Personnel shall be familiar withChase procedures and fitted and trained In the use of respirators. Personnelshall also have been examined by a physician to determine If they are able tophysically perform the work while wearing a respirator.

If the ventilation of the space and the tests show oxygen to be less than19,5X, a self-contained breathing apparatus or an escape cype air-line respiratorshall be used. While these respirators with the former Bureau of Mines (BMcode numbers) approval may still be available in some companies, they shouldno longer be used. The Bureau of Mines approval has not been extended beyondMarch, 1980. Respiratory equipment approved Jointly by the National Institutefor Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mining Safety and HealthAdministration (MSHA) are acceptable. A separate publication, RespiratorSelection Guide, is available from the Michigan Department of Public Health uponrequest.

Safety Concerns

If ventilating a confined or process space opening interferes with vehiculartraffic, appropriate warning sign* cod protective barriers shall be promptly setup before the covers of manholes, hand holes, or vaults are removed. The wordingof a warning sign would depend upon the nature and the location of the hazardsInvolved. Before an employee enters a street opening such as a manhole, it shallbe protected with a barrier, temporary cover, or other suitable guard.

Means shall be provided for quick removal of employees in case of emergency.When a safety harness and lifeline are used, they should be properly attachedto the employee so that his body cannot be jammed in the exit opening.

A standby employee with a pre-planned rescue procedure shall be stationedoutside the entrance to the confined or process space to observe or communicatewith the employee at all time*. The standby employee shall be trained andequipped to initiate rescue operation. It should be realized that a singleperson can seldom raise an unconscious body without a mechanical device.This rule Is interpreted to mean that without such a device, additionalpersonnel muat be within easy summoning distance. It Is also interpreted torequire approved self-contained breathing apparatus or escape type air-linerespirators for the additional personnel who may have to enter the confined orprocess space to perform a rescue.

Communications (visual, voice, or signal line) shall be maintained betweenall individuals present. Under all circumstances, a standby employee mustremain at the entrance to the space to coordinate the rescue and provideadditional assistance.

A standby employee stationed outside a confined space is vital.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR UNPREDICTABLE SPACES OR SYSTEMS

The above requirements and precautions assume a relatively stable andpredictable situation. However, •one spaces or systems may be consideredunpredictable. Working in an active sever or sump containing organic wastes isone example. A large quantity of dissolved toxic or combustible gases could beliberated in an unpredictable manner. Another example is working in an under-ground pipeline which has been recently covered with soil that happened to containactive aerobic organisms. If the interior cavity of the pipeline has not beensealed from the surrounding soil, the cavity may develop an oxygen deficiency.

As the rules used for confined or process space specify, ventilation andtesting are still required to assure a reepirable atmosphere prior to employeeentry. However, because of the unpredictable nature of these special cases,we recommend continuous ventilation while the employee is in the space and thatthe employee carry portable oxygen and gas detection instrumentation. Analternative recommendation is to provide the employee with a self-containedbreathing apparatus or an escape type air-line respirator and safety harnessand lines.

CONFINED OR PROCESS SPACES THAT CONTAIN BULK OR LOOSE MATERIAL

When an employee is required to enter a confined or process space whichcontains bulk or loose material that could engulf the employee, the followingregulations apply.

8

Page 240: REDACTED EPA RPM REPORT - CERCLA IMMEDIATE ACTION … · Mr. Daniel M. Caplice On-Scene Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5-HR 230 S. Dearborn Chicago, IL 60604 OCT

The employee shall wear an approved safety harness attached to an approvedlifeline. The lifeline shall be strung from the employee overhead and backdown to where it is tied to the employee's "D" ring. The lifeline shall bekept reasonably taut at all times and another employee shall be in sight orwithin hearing distance. When this is not practical, the lifeline shall besnubbed overhead and kept reasonably taut at all times by a person stationedat a safe location who is capable of rendering assistance if required.

Communications, such as visual, voice, or signal line, shall be maintainedbetween the person outside the confined space and all employees in the confinedspace.

If an employee working in a confined space must be lifted vertically to beremoved from the space, there shall be not less than one employee working inthe Immediate vicinity to assist the employee stationed outside the confinedspace, or a mechanical means to lift the employee out of the confined spaceshall be provided before work starts.

The supply of material shsll be shut off, and the discharge shall be shutoff, if feasible.

SUMMARY

Confined or process specs accidents all too often result in death for theperson entering the space and for the untrained, unequipped rescuers as well.Michigan occupational health rules for confined or process space are intendedto prevent such accidents and the resulting fatalities.

The requirements and precautions of this guide for employee entry intoconfined or process space are summarized below:

1. Erect barriers and post warning signs near the entry to the space.2. Thoroughly ventilate the space and then test for the presence of a

respirable atmosphere.3. Issue an entry permit and Include a check-in/check-out system where

applicable.4. Educate ths employees about the type of hazard that may be encountered.5. Take precautions (ventilation or gas monitoring) to prevent the

creation of a non-respirable atmosphere in the space while theemployee Is in ths space.

If s non-respirable atmosphere is found or If the above ventilation andtest procedures are not followed:

1. Erect barriers and post warning signs near the entry to the space.2. Issue an entry permit and Include a check-In/check-cut system where

applicable.3. Follow the written procedures for the proper use of respiratory

protection and educate the employees about the type cf hazard thatmay bs encountered.

4. Equip the trained employee with self-contained breathing apparatusor escape type air-line respirator and a safety harness and lifeline.

5. Assign an equipped and trained standby employer at th* entrance ofthe confined or process space while an employee Is in the space.

Also enclosed 1s the check from The Central Iron and MetalCompany for the scrap value of the used pipe which was removed. The1900-55 forms were prepared based on the dally site logs. They reflectthe actual time that the equipment and personnel were used on this pro-ject. Please review these forms, sign and date them, and then returnthe pink and white copies to me. If you should encounter any problems withthem, please contact me.

Once the 1900-55 forms for last week are approved and filed, the onlytasks that will remain for PEI to complete on this project are as follows:

1. Provide the documentation that supports PEI's decision to purchasehorizontal pumps Instead of vertical turbine pumps. According toJohn Bruck's October 2, 1984 letter, that decision was based onavailability rather than cost.

2. Provide documentation to support PEI's decision to purchase thepermanent transformer from VanTran Electric Company Instead ofsome other manufacturer. According to Mr. Brucks October 2, 1984letter, this decision was also based on availability not cost.

3. Provide documentation to support the selection of the Jack SayeCompany as the subcontractor for the forming of the walls. Thisdocumentation should show that either this was a competitive pricefor this work, or that this company was the only one available tothat could perform this work within our time schedule.

4. Prepare and submit a draft copy of the project report (as discussedin our September 11, 1984 meeting) within 30 days of the completionof all field work. All field work was completed on October 26, 1984,therefore, that report should be submitted by November 26, 1984.

ATTACHMENT 1PRELIMINARY DESIGN

Based upon information gathered at the April 25 project planning meetingin Battle Creek, PEI determined that an outside engineering firm should beretained to design the lift station. PEAS, Inc. was selected on April 26 dueto their capabilities, availability and close working proximity to PEI, andMr. Joe Stockwell, P.E., president of PEAS, met with M1ke Hessling on April27. Project requirements were reviewed at that meeting and it was decidedthat a prefabricated lift station and two off-the-shelf turbine pumps wouldoffer the greatest chance for meeting the project's strict schedule. Follow-ing the meeting, PEAS engineer, Bud Wahl, was assigned the task of contactinglikely vendors and locating the required equipment. It should be emphasizedthat the contacts made by PEAS engineers at this point were not solicitationsfor fixed bids, but rather were a search for off-the-shelf turbine equipment,including a pre-fab (package) 11ft station. A list of the companies contactedis included in Table 1.

Another project planning meeting was held on Monday, April 30, at whichtime Mr. Stockwell informed us that our flowrate requirements were too greatfor a package lift station. A new preliminary design for the 11ft station wasdeveloped based upon setting a 12' section of 10' diameter concrete pipevertically upon a poured concrete pad. This new design assumed that a turbinepump would be available, although PEAS engineer Bud Wahl had not yet been ableto locate one.

On Tuesday, May 1, PEAS informed PEI response manager, M1ke Hessling,that, according to information available to us, no turbine pump was available"off-the-shelf" that would meet the project's needs. Manufacturing lead timewas estimated at 12 to 16 weeks by several manufacturers. It was thereforenecessary to design a lift station that could incorporate more common horizon-tal centrifugal pumps. Mr. Hessling contacted Calgon (the carbon filtrationsystem supplier) to determine whether their earlier estimate of 75 ft of headloss across the carbon absorber was a calculated figure or just a guess.Calgon engineer, J. D. Henry, responded with a calculated pressure drop of 56to 58 feet. Allowing 22 to 24 feet for vertical lift and pipe friction, apump delivering 80 feet of head would be adequate.

PEAS engineers, Stockwell and Wahl, presented the current design to PEIon May 2. This design 1s based on a wet well-dry well system and includes 5horizontal centrifugal pumps each rated at 500 gpm and 80 feet of head. Atthe time of this presentation, Bud Wahl had also contacted five suppliers ofhorizontal centrifugal pumps and had located one company which could supplythese pumps 1n 7 to 10 days from receipt of order. Documentation of the bidsreceived from each of the five companies, along with the delivery scheduleavailable from each is included 1n Table 2. This table clearly shows thatAurora Pump, the vendor recommended by PEI, offered both the quickest deliveryand the lowest price.

ATTACHMENT 2PROCUREMENT OF PERMANENT TRANSFORMERS

PEI was directed by the OSC to procure a permanent transformer that wouldmeet the requirements of both the lift station and the planned air stripper.Initially, a 120-kVA transformer was planned; however, following an evaluationby CH2M Hill of their air stripper requirements, combined with PEAS estimateof the lift station's maximum electrical demand, it was agreed that a 225-kVA,8320V to 480/240V pad-mounted unit would be ordered.

PEAS electrical engineer, 01m Kurtz, was directed to obtain bids forrapid delivery of a transfonner meeting these specifications. The results ofMr. Kurtz's contacts, as presented to PEI on June 1, 1984, are shown in Table3. The OSC indicated at this point that delivery of the transformer by August1 was absolutely necessary to avoid delays in the connection and startup ofthe air stripper. Based upon this information, PEI recommended the selectionof VanTrans, Inc., the second lowest bidder overall, and the lowest offeringan acceptable delivery schedule. Prior to acceptance of our order, however,VanTrans required (in lieu of the detailed specifications normally providedfor such an order) several bits of information regarding such items as padshape, location of emergency shutoff switch (inside vs. outside), locking ornonlocking panel door, and other mechanical details. These specificationswere provided through discussion Involving PEAS' electrical engineer, PEI'sresponse manager, the OSC and the foreman from the electrical contractor. Anorder for the transformer was finally placed on June 15 with a guaranteeddelivery date of July 31, 1984.

ATTACHMENT 3SUBCONTRACTING OF LIFT STATION WALL FORMING

Murray Construction Company was selected by PEI to provide the fixed-ratelabor and equipment necessary to construct the concrete lift station. Contraryto what they had originally indicated, Murray did not have the equipment andmaterials necessary to place the steel form work for the walls of the structure,They had intended on subcontracting this activity to Jack Save Poured Walls,Inc., a local wall forming contractor with whom they frequently worked.

It was necessary that wall forming begin immediately, and according toinformation available to the Response Manager and OSC, no other suitable wallforming contractor was available to meet project requirements. (Please notethat the Response Manager and OSC relied in part on recommendations from Citywater works personnel and other contractors.) Foremen from three of thesubcontractors on site recommended Saye as a fast working contractor who couldbe relied upon for quality work. Jack Saye arrived on site on May 16 andindicated that he would prefer to work for a fixed fee rather than time andmaterials. A job price of $10,922.00 was provided by Mr. Saye to the ResponseManager. Nonetheless, at the insistence of the response manager, Saye provideddaily job tickets showing laborers names and hours worked by each. Fixedrates were discussed by Messrs. Saye and Hessling, and conversion of all coststo this format seemed reasonable. After two days of activities, some briefcalculations by the OSC and response manager showed that converting all ofSaye's charges to fixed rates would not appreciably lower the cost of forming,and on this basis the OSC directed that this activity would be handled as areimbursable cost (cost-plus-three percent) subcontracted activity.

ATTACHMENT 4SUBCONTRACTING OF PIPE INSULATION

All of the piping, as designed, approved and installed in the wet well,is schedule 40 carbon steel. The original design for this system did not callfor pipe insulation, although a heating system in the dry well was recommended.Condensation on the outside of the pipes, caused by low water temperature andhigh relative humidity, resulted in a continual stream of water to drip ontothe pumps. It was decided that this could be prevented by insulating thepipes inside the wet well.

Hunter-Prell, the piping contractor for this project, recommended DrakeInsulation as a reputable contractor in the Battle Creek area, and by agreementof the OSC and response manager, rates were proposed so that this work couldbe done under the fixed rate portion of the contract. Labor requirements wereestimated at 3 days work for two men and materials were expected to run aboutone thousand dollars.

Upon review of the 1900-55's showing this activity, the OSC requestedthat the charges be handled as a reimbursable cost subcontracted item (cost-plus-three percent). This change was agreed to by PEI and appears on the1900-55 form dated June 14, 1984.

SUBJECT: Miscellaneous Regarding Treatment Plant Safety Access

I spoke to Ruas Scheuller today regarding use of radios while on site.The City of Battle Creek has radios on site which they are willing tolend us. As a safety precaution) aach operator who enters the sitealona should always check in with the pump station and pick up a radio.(It is also recommended if norm than one person is on site.) Make surethat the radio (and a receiver) are in operational condition beforegoing to the treatment plant. Return the radio to the pump stationwhen exiting the site.

In addition, Russ will provide us with keys to the front gate. Pleasepick them up from him when they are available and distribute to Dan,Fred and me.

Attached are copies of MIOSHA regulations provided by the Health Department,Please read them plus the attached memo. Per the mano, the followingequipment has bean made available.

1. Drager H,3 sample kits(a constant monitor is on order);

2. Oxygen and combustible gas indicator;

3. Ear muffs*

The directions are included with the equipment* The equipment shouldbe left on site for use by all authorized staff. Authorized staffshould be interpreted at this time aa those staff--MDNR, EPA, City,consultants and contractors, WHO AU TRAINED IN THE USE OF THIS EQUIP-MENT. To minimize ventilation problems the ventilation fan to the drywell should be left on aa much at possible.

By copy of this memo, I am informing other people who frequent the siteof the availability of equipment and the need to be aware of site safetyconcerns.

Mr. John BrouclcAssociated DirectorWaste Management DivisionPedco Environmental Incorporated11499 Chester RoadP.O. Box 46100Cincinnati, OH. 45246-0100

Dear Mr. Brouck,

During my September 11, 1984 meeting with M1ke Hessllng 1n your offices,we discussed and prepared a schedule for the final phase of the BattleCreek project. Before that meeting was concluded, we had both agreedon the schedule. PEI, the primary contractor for this project, wasthen responsible for contacting the various subcontractors Involvedto Inform them of the schedule so that they could make any necessaryarrangements.

Apparently, PEI did notify the subcontractors until almost three weeks later.The primary subcontractor, Calgon Carbon, has Informed me that they did notreceive official notification until late on October 10, 1984. As a result ofthis, the final phase of this project has now been delayed one week.

Hopefully, will be no Increased costs as a result of this forcedschedule change. This 1s representative of the continuing problems wehave had with PEI as the primary response contractor for this project. Iam particularly distressed over this Incident because 1t has occurreddespite our telephone conference call and subsequent meeting.

If you would like to or discuss this further, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Daniel M. Cap11ce RPM/OSCRemedial Response Section I

Dear Mr. Cap!ice:

Regarding your undated letter received by this office on October 22 (copyattached] we, too, are particularly distressed, but for much different reasons.The attached summary of PEI's coordination activities relative to Calgon andother subcontractors shows that your statement regarding notification of theseparties, specifically Calgon, 1s clearly without substantiation. Further, ouragreements with other subcontractors, such as Hunter-Prell, allow shortnotification, including 24 hour-a-day service and response.

It 1s obvious that your evaluation of this situation is incorrect, and to citethis misconception as a "continuing problem" with PEI 1s as unfounded as yourprevious allegations. Regardless, we will continue to do the very best we canto bring this delivery order (which we view as successfully performed by PEI)to rapid conclusion.

Respectfully,

PEI Associates, Inc.

PEI COORDINATION ACTIVITIES(from M1ke Hessllng's personal activity log)

D.O. 6894-05-008

1. During a meeting with Dan Caplice on September 11, 1984, tentativeschedules for removal of the carbon units were discussed. Mr. Caplicesuggested that the units come out either October 8th or 15th. Severalissues had to be resolved prior to finalizing a demobilization date,including: schedule and effectiveness of air stripper startup, PEI'swillingness to provide greater than two weeks of standby, and Mr. Caplice'ssurgery. A detailed outline for the demobilization week was prepared.Note that M. Hessllng's September 21 letter refers (in paragraph 10) to ademobilization schedule of the 2nd or 3rd week in October.

2. Our personal activity log books show telephone conversations with Calgonpersonnel on September 14 (twice) and again on September 21, when M.Hessling spoke with Ward Rogers of Calgon. At that time he informed Mr.Rogers that demobilization would occur on either the 8th or the 15th ofOctober, with the latter week being the most likely. This was agreedupon as a tentative date; pending confirmation to M. Hessling by Mr.Caplice, we were to let Mr. Rogers know if the date changed from the15th.

3. Dan Cap!ice confirmed that schedule to M, Hessling on September 24 bytelephone.

4. M. Hessling called Fred Mendicino on September 26 and told him that wewould be pulling the system out during mid-October. Mr. Mendidno saidany week would be fine, just give them a few days notice to line upvehicles.

5. Called Ward Rogers on October 10 to confirm agreed-upon date of October15th - Mr. Rogers was on vacation and we were advised that a responsibleCalgon employee would respond.

6. Called Fred Mendlcino on October 10 to confirm date for October 15thdemobilization - Mr. Mendicino was out of town. Asked the secretary ifthere was anyone who could handle it and she said she would have someonecall M. Hessling.

7. We received call from Tony Wlerzbowski of Calgon on October 10. He toldM. Hessling we had been scheduled for October 29. Told him it had to bethe 15th. He said he would and try to reschedule for October 15 and letM, Hessling know.

10. On October 11, received a call from Mr. John Suposi of Calgon, who is incharge of scheduling mobilization/demobilization. Mr. Suposi said therewas no way for them to demobilize on the 15th and set a schedule for the22nd. M. Hessling asked that billings stop on the 15th, to which Mr.Suposi agreed.

11. On October 11, M. Hessling called Mr. CapUce and informed him of projectstatus. Mr. CapUce said he was going to try to reach someone high up inCalgon. M. Hessling told him we felt we had already done all that couldbe done.

12. On October 11, M. Hessling called Gary Banstone, Director of Marketing atCalgon, and left a message.

13. On October 11, John Suposi called M. Hessling and said he had received acall from Mr. CapUce. He repeated that, as M. Hessling had previouslynegotiated, demobilization would be the 22nd but that billing would stopon the 15th.

14. On October 11, M. Hessling received a call from Mr. CapUce, Indicatingthat he had talked with Mr. Suposi and that he needed an October 15demobilization due to other project committments.

15. On October 11, M. Hessling called Mr. Suposi to find out what it wouldcost (including the use of another transporter) to get the schedulerearranged. Mr. Suposi said 1t just was not feasible.

16. Dan Caplice called M. Hessling again on the morning of the 12th (Friday)and accepted the schedule set for the 22nd. He reviewed with M. Hesslinga detailed schedule for demobilization.

17. M. Hessling called Hunter-Prell and Universal Crane to alert them of thechange and confirmed schedules.

18. On Monday morning, October 15, Ward Rogers called M. Hessling to apolo-gize for the demobilization mlxup. Mr. Rogers indicated that he hadfailed to communicate the schedule to his operations division prior toleaving for vacation.
