FRCM: George Crawford, TAT II /:Jci(pti.

SUBJECT: Tabernacle Drum Site 10/13/83 Trip Repxt

DATE: January 5, 1984

On October 13, 1983, TATL John Ha:mn:ond and TATM' s George Crawford and Rodolfo Hafner
and EPA OSC Gad Tawadros travelled to the Tabernacle Drum Site for the purpose of
surveying the site, counting drums and assessing the drums' conditions.

Site Entry:

Site entry was initially in Level B with OVA, HNU and combustible gas rreter
characterization. With the exception of actual in drum readings no reading was found
above background. Level of protection was changed to "C" on this basis with continued
OVA/HNU rnoni toring •

Site Description:

The drums are located in a v.ooded lot approximately 1/2 mile east of Caranza Road near
Tabernacle, NJ, about 1/2 mile from an occupied residence and 10 yards from the crop
fields of a vegetable farm (see Figure #1). The drums cover an area of about 150 feet
by 75 feet at the top of a slope, which runs down hill, south and east, to a dry ~ed
ravine.

Drum Count, Description and Identification:

One hundred and sixty three drums or containers were counted. The majority of
containers were 55 gallons closed top drums. Five of the drums were oolging and one
was weeping a non-volatile material. :r-t:>st drums were very corroded, making
manufacturers' names or contents unreadable. A I ist of :rranufacturers' names and/or
contents as identified follows:

Hi Heat Enamel

Contents of some of the drums had spilled onto the ground. One dark liquid seep was
noted. A hand drawn rra.p of individual drum locations, corresponding to numbers tafed
to each container, is attached (see Figure 2).
Conclusions:

One hundred sixty three drums in various stages of deterioration have been left in an
unsecured wooded area within 1/2 mile of a residence with children and within 10 yards
of a vegetable farm crop land. Materials include flarnrrables, corrosives, p:>isons,
reactive rra.terials, and unknowns. Some drums appear to be in danger of breaking under
the strain of internal reaction or freezing winter time conditions.

The existence and proximity of these drums to the citizens of the area make this site a
candidate for additional investigation and possible removal action.

2. ACTION TJ.>...KEN:

A. Contents of liquid drums and the rainwater collected in the

open drums were sucked into a vacuum tanker. About 3,000 gallons
of liquid and sludge was collected. Total depth of material
collected in the vacuum truck was 30 inches, which includes an 18
inch layer of bottom sludge. Six (6) samples were collected from
the top layer and at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 inch depths. The samples
will be analyzed for Priority Pollutants and R~qA characteristics.
The analytical results are expected to be available during the week
of April 30th, 1984. Contents of 24 liquid drums, plus liquid from
64 solid dr~s were pumped into the vacuum truck.
B. PCB level of 70 to 80 ppn was found in the composite sample
obtained from 19 drums having solid contents. Further analysis of
ind i v idual drums in that group is in progress.
 C. All drums except the nineteen suspected of containing PCB IS
. . ;ere roved to the staging area. The soil at the visually
conta~inated area (stained area) was excavated to a depth of
approximately ten inches and then piled into a heap at the
cont~ninated area.

D. A second sealed container was brought to the site to collect

all materials from solid drums. As of April 27th, 1984,

1. SITUATICN:

A. Same as before.

2. ACTION TAKEN:

A. On April 18, 1984, Freehold Cartage and Aguilar Associates

rearranged drums in the staging area and developed an overall plan
for the drum rerroval process. 'The dirt access road to the si te
from Carranza Road was graded and cleared of brush.

B. On April 19, 1984, the drum compatibility test report from

Stablex-Reutter 'vas received by Freehold cartage. All drums on
site were placed into 9 basic groups, according to the phYsical
appearance of the drum contents alone. A representative sample
from each of t~e 9 groups was tested for compatibility with samples
from each of the other groups. By this method, the contents of
each group of drums was determined to be compatible for mixing with
the others.

C. On April 20, 1984, Freehold Cartage resumed w:::>rk at the site.

Present on site were 4 laborers, 1 supervisor, 1 safety officer
(from ~~ilar Associates), a vacuum tVJck, forklift, backhoe/front
end loader, dumpster and emergency shower. 1
 A catch l:::8.sin for decontamination rinse water was set up. Gravel
vias placed over soft areas of the dirt access road.

3• FUTURE PLANS AND RECOMt"IENDATIONS:

A. Bulking of drummed solids and liquids will coITtITence on Monday,

April 23, 1984, and will continue until all drums have been removed

1. SITUATION:

A. Approximately 140 55-gallon drums, and 30 to 40 30-gallon drums

and 5-gallon metal containers were abandoned on a rural property by
a previous tenant (Robert Ware). The property is owned by Philip
and Dorothy Myers. The previous tenant was paid by a waste dis-
posal firm (Atlantic Disposal Services, Inc.) to accept the drums ..
Several of drums have legible labels which denote product and
producers. The drums have deteriorated to a point where many are
leaking and the rest cannot be expected to remain intact much
longer.

B. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) con-

ducted a limited sampling program. Their results confirm the pre-
sence of hazardous materials and indicate a fire potential due to
the low flash point of one of their samples.

C. The site is located in a rural area. The closest residence is

the house located on the property approximately 1/4 mile away.
There are approximately 25 residences within 1/2 mile of the site.
All residences in the area utilize wells for potable water. The
property is used by dirt bikers and occasionally hunters (by
.permission). There is evidence (bullet holes) that hunters have
used some of the drums for target practice. An active truck farm
is located adjacent to the Sl~e. Workers in the fields may corne
within a short distance of the drums.
 D. The major threat is direct contact, especially by children, to
hazardous and unknown chemicals. The potential for groundwater
contamination also exists because of the deteriorated condition of
the drums. Evidence of past and present leakage can be noted.

The low flash point of some of the material presents a high poten-
tial for fire at the site which could release toxic fumes and could
initiate a major forest fire. This would threaten nearby residen-
ces.

The site drains to a tributary of the Batsto River. NJDEP has

classified the Batsto River as " Fresh Water-Central Pine Barrens"
which prohibits discharges which would alter natural background
water quality.

2. ACTION TAKEN:

A. A Fund Authorization Report (IO-Point Document) was prepared.

B. Notice letters were issued to Atlantic Disposal Services, Inc.

and chemical companies whose names appeared on drums.

C. The Regional Administrator concurred on the use of CERCLA Trust

Fund monies for site cleanup in the event the responsible party
does not conduct the cleanup.

D. A 106 Order was issued to Atlantic Disposal Services, Inc. on

February 17, 1984. Atlantic Disposal Services, Inc. has agreed to
comply with the Order and has hired Freehold Cartage, Inc.,
Freehold, New Jersey to conduct the clean up. Work is scheduled
to start on April 2, 1984.

E. A 106 Order was issued to Philip and Dorothy Myers on March 27,
1984 which ordered them to grant Atlantic Disposal Service, Inc.
access to their property.

3. FUTURE PLANS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

A. EPA will monitor the clean up.

significant risk of harm to human life and health and to the environment
as defined in 40CFR Part 300, National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Contingency Plan, ~ 300.65(a).
7. Expected Changes in Situation Should lib Action be Taken or Should Action be
Delayed:

A. Spread in Scope of Contamination:

Drums will continue to deteriorate releasing more contaminants. High fire
potent ion will rewa in.

-4-
 B. Change in Nature of Contamination:
Increased surface and groundwater contamination.
C. Increased Threat to Human Health or Envirorurent if Action is Delayed or
Denied:
The drums that have not rusted through already cannot be expected to
remain intact over the winter. The site could become a major source of
groundwater contamination. This would threaten nearby residential wells.
D. Irrpact on Future Resp::mse Action of Delay or Denial:
The site ooy become a oojor source of groundwater contamination. This
would necessitate a more costly groundwater monitoring and mitigation
program.

9. Fesp:::mse Options:
A&B.Types and Considerations:
(1) No Action:
Rejected because of significant human health and environmental
hazard.

(2) Rerrove and dispose of drl.lITllfed material and contaminated soil:

'Ibis is the option of choice t€cause:
(a) it removes the source of hazard.
(b) it prevents significant groundwater contamination.-
(c) it is the rrost cost effective option for a site with a
relatively small number of drums.

10. Prop:::>sed Resp:mse Action:

A. Detailed Description of Proposed Response:

There are 5 major elerrents of the Proposed Action Response.
(1) Conduct compatability testing of drummed materials.
(2) Compatable liquids will be bulked and rerroved for incineration.
