40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2005-0011; FRL-9902-29-Region 4]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Geiger (C&M Oil) Superfund
Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 is
publishing a direct final Notice of Deletion of the Geiger (C&M Oil),
Superfund Site (Site), located in Hollywood, Charleston County, South
Carolina, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated
pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an
appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). This direct final deletion is being published
by EPA with the concurrence of the State of South Carolina, through the
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC),
because EPA has determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews have
been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions
under Superfund.

DATES: This direct final deletion is effective January 6, 2014 unless
EPA receives adverse comments by December 5, 2013. If adverse comments
are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final
deletion in the Federal Register informing the public that the deletion
will not take effect.

I. Introduction

    EPA Region 4 is publishing this direct final Notice of Deletion of
the Geiger (C&M Oil) Superfund Site (Site), from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part
300, which is the Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health,
welfare, or the environment. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund).
As described in 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the NPL
remain eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions if future conditions
warrant such actions.
    Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and
routine, this action will be effective January 6, 2014 unless EPA
receives adverse comments by December 5, 2013. Along with this direct
final Notice of Deletion, EPA is co-publishing a Notice of Intent to
Delete in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal Register. If
adverse comments are received within the 30-day public comment period
on this deletion action, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this
direct final Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the
deletion, and the deletion will not take effect. EPA will, as
appropriate, prepare a response to comments and continue with the
deletion process on the basis of the Notice of Intent to Delete and the
comments already received. There will be no additional opportunity to
comment.
    Section II of this document explains the criteria for deleting
sites from the NPL. Section III discusses procedures that EPA is using
for this action. Section IV discusses the Geiger (C&M Oil) Superfund
Site and demonstrates how it meets the deletion criteria. Section V
discusses EPA's action to delete the Site from the NPL unless adverse
comments are received during the public comment period.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

    The NCP establishes the criteria that EPA uses to delete sites from
the NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), sites may be deleted
from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. In making such a
determination pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e), EPA will consider, in
consultation with the state, whether any of the following criteria have
been met:
    i. Responsible parties or other persons have implemented all
appropriate response actions required;
    ii. all appropriate Fund-financed response under CERCLA has been
implemented, and no further response action by responsible parties is
appropriate; or
    iii. the remedial investigation has shown that the release poses no
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore,
the taking of remedial measures is not appropriate.
    Pursuant to CERCLA section 121(c) and the NCP, EPA conducts five-
year reviews to ensure the continued protectiveness of remedial actions
where hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remain at a
site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted
exposure. EPA conducts such five-year reviews even if a site is deleted
from the NPL. EPA may initiate further action to ensure continued
protectiveness at a deleted site if new information becomes available
that indicates it is appropriate. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL, the deleted site may be
restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking system.

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures apply to deletion of the Site:
    (1) EPA consulted with the state of South Carolina prior to
developing this direct final Notice of Deletion and the Notice of
Intent to Delete co-published today in the ``Proposed Rules'' section
of the Federal Register.
    (2) EPA has provided the state 30 working days for review of this
notice and the parallel Notice of Intent to Delete prior to their
publication today, and the state, through the South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental Control, has concurred on the deletion of
the Site from the NPL.
    (3) Concurrently with the publication of this direct final Notice
of Deletion, a notice of the availability of the parallel Notice of
Intent to Delete is being published in a major local newspaper, Post
and Courier. The newspaper notice announces the 30-day public comment

period concerning the Notice of Intent to Delete the Site from the NPL.
    (4) EPA placed copies of documents supporting the proposed deletion
in the deletion docket and made these items available for public
inspection and copying at the Site information repositories identified
above.
    (5) If adverse comments are received within the 30-day public
comment period on this deletion action, EPA will publish a timely
notice of withdrawal of this direct final Notice of Deletion before its
effective date and will prepare a response to comments and continue
with the deletion process on the basis of the Notice of Intent to
Delete and the comments already received.
    Deletion of a site from the NPL does not itself create, alter, or
revoke any individual's rights or obligations. Deletion of a site from
the NPL does not in any way alter EPA's right to take enforcement
actions, as appropriate. The NPL is designed primarily for
informational purposes and to assist EPA management. Section
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that the deletion of a site from the
NPL does not preclude eligibility for future response actions, should
future conditions warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion

    The following information provides EPA's rationale for deleting the
Site from the NPL:

Site Background

    The Geiger (C&M Oil) Site (EPA CERCLIS Identification Number
SCD980711279) is located approximately 10 miles west of the city of
Charleston, South Carolina, along Highway 162. The town of Hollywood is
located approximately 4 miles west of the site. The Site consist of an
affected area that is approximately 1.5 acres in size, triangular in
shape and is bound on two sides by ponds, and on the third side by a
small rise. The area around the Site is sparsely populated with
approximately ten residences located west and southwest of the site.
Another 10 residences are located to the east and north east with
several small businesses within (0.5) miles of the site along Highway
162. Between 1969 and 1971, eight unlined lagoons, each approximately 1
foot deep for a combined area of 1.5 acres were constructed for the
purpose of holding waste oil in connection with an incineration
process.
    In late 1971, in response to complaints from area residents, South
Carolina Pollution Control Agency (SCPCA) ordered the stoppage of all
incineration and waste deposition activities at the Site and the owner
was directed to take action to prevent the spillage, leakage, or
seepage of oil from the Site. In April 1974, a complaint was filed by a
nearby property owner with the Charleston County Health Department
(CCHD) about oil overflowing from the lagoons on the Site. CCHD
investigated the Site and ordered the Site closed because of evidence
of oil dumping and overflowing oil. C&M Oil Distributors, Inc. then
purchased all reclaimable oil on the Site and submitted recovery plans
to SCDHEC, formerly SCPCA, but reportedly received no response to their
plans. In December 1979, SCDHEC requested that the company provide
information on their intentions to clean up the Site. C&M Oil
Distributors, Inc. stated in January 1980 that they were unable to
recover the waste oil and were not obligated to clean up the Site.
Investigations of Site activities revealed evidence of oil dumping and
oil overflowing from lagoons on site. The facility was ordered to stop
all incineration and waste disposition activities at the site and
action be taken to prevent spillage, leakage, and seepage of oil from
the Site.

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS)

    Samples collected during the remedial investigation provide
sufficient data to characterize the Site. Results of laboratory
analysis revealed the presence of inorganic contaminants (chromium,
mercury and lead) in the soil in concentrations exceeding the common
ranges for these metals in soils. The highest concentrations were found
in the oil stained area confirming that this area is the contaminant
source. The laboratory found no organic contaminants in the soil
samples taken from the oil stained area. The laboratory found several
organics in the shallow and medium on site monitor well samples.
Elevated levels of metals and organics were found in samples taken from
the oil stained area and analyzed by the Contract Laboratory Program
(CLP) . Some of these same organics were found in the shallow on-site
monitor well. The laboratory samples of the surface waters were free of
any organic contamination. Evidence of polychlorinated biphenyl-1242
(PCB-1242) and petroleum products was found in several surface water
samples by the CLP laboratory. Private wells to the north, east and
southwest of the site were found to be free of contamination. Ground
water contamination appears to be limited to the oil stained area.
Based on the local laboratory results, ground water contamination has
not moved from the Site. The results from the CLP sample analysis
support these conclusions. Based on air monitoring during the RI,
organic air contamination was not found to be a problem. The final
feasibility study dated July 1987 provided an in-depth summary and
discussion of site sampling activities, and an analysis of remedial
alternatives. The feasibility study provided an analysis of extraction
(soil) flushing, solidification/stabilization, attenuation,
immobilization, incineration, capping, vegetative cover, excavation and
offsite disposal, partial excavation with onsite disposal, onsite
containment/encapsulation and no action remedial alternatives.

Selected Remedy

    A Record of Decision (ROD) was signed in June 1987, and two ROD
amendments (AROD) were signed; one in July 1993 and the second in
September 1998. The purpose of the remedial action at the Site was to
mitigate and minimize contamination in the soils and ground water and
to reduce potential risks to human health and the environment. The
following cleanup objectives were determined based on regulatory
requirements and levels of contamination found at the Site:
     Recovering contaminated ground water with on-site
treatment and discharge to an off-site stream;
     protecting public health and the environment from exposure
to contaminated on-site soils through inhalation, direct contact, and
erosion of soils into surface waters and wetlands;
     preventing off-site movement of contaminated ground water;
and
     restoring contaminated ground water to levels protective
of human health and the environment.
    The 1987 ROD selected a remedial alternative to prevent direct
contact exposure and inhalation of contaminants in the soil, potential
ingestion of contaminated ground water by on-site workers and potential
future residents; further leaching of contaminants to ground water
above drinking water standards; and potential direct contact exposure
to environmental receptors. The selected remedy included:
     Recovery of contaminated ground water with on-site
treatment and discharge to an off-site stream;
     on-site thermal treatment of excavated soils to remove
organic contaminants;
     solidification/stabilization (S/S) of thermally-treated
soil to reduce mobility of metals;

     review of S/S, during the remedial design, to determine if
S/S alone would achieve remedial action goals; and
     development of soil cleanup goals during the remedial
design.

The selected remedy established cleanup goals for contaminants in the
ground water based on drinking water standards. The selected remedy
eliminated the principal threat posed to human health and the
environment by preventing further migration of contaminants to the
ground water and by remediating ground water to drinking water
standards. The 1987 ROD indicated that no elevated levels of
contaminants were found in the pond on-site. Soil and ground water were
found to be contaminated with the contaminants of concern (COCs) listed
in Table 1.

         Table 1--Ground Water and Soil Contaminants of Concern
------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Ground water and soil contaminants of concern

Benzene.
Trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.
Chromium.
Lead.
Toluene.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene.
1,1-Dichloroethane.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Treatability studies conducted during the remedial design
determined that S/S alone would remediate contaminated soils. Based on
these studies, the ROD was amended on July 13, 1993 to state that only
S/S would be conducted, thermal treatment would not be needed. EPA
issued another ROD amendment on September 9, 1998, changing the ground
water remedy from pump and treat to monitored natural attenuation (MNA)
and revising the ground water COCs to only include cadmium and lead,
with respective cleanup goals of 5[micro]g/L and 15[micro]g/L. Soil
leachate criteria were established in the 1993 AROD to protect the
ground water.

Response Actions

    In February 1992, EPA entered into a cooperative agreement with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to perform the remedial design/
remedial action (RD/RA). After the final design was completed, USACE
awarded the RA contract to McLaren/Hart Environmental Engineering
Corporation (McLaren/Hart) for solidification/stabilization of Site
soils. McLaren/Hart mobilized to the field for full-scale soil
treatment on January 16, 1994. Soil treatment was completed on April
23, 1994 followed by placement of a gravel cap over the treated soil,
which was completed on August 5, 1994. The pre-final inspection,
conducted on August 9, 1994, did not discover any significant
outstanding items and therefore served as the final inspection. Both
the site's Final Construction Report and the Interim Remedial Action
Report were approved by EPA and SCDHEC on September 29, 1997. Quality
control analytical sampling of the treated soil was conducted
throughout the solidification activities. The quality assurance/quality
control program was in conformance with EPA and State standards;
therefore, EPA and the State determined that all analytical results
were accurate to the degree needed to assure satisfactory execution of
the RA and are consistent with the ROD and the RD plans and
specifications.

Cleanup Goals

    Site soils have been treated to prevent further leaching of
contamination into the ground water. Additional sampling conducted by
EPA showed only one remaining ground water COC that was consistently
detected above drinking water standards in two small, localized areas,
one of which was near drinking water standards. As a result of these
soil and ground water findings, EPA issued an additional AROD on
September 9, 1998, changing the ground water remedy from pump and
treat, which was never implemented, to MNA. The Preliminary Close-out
Report (September 14, 1998), and the Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
Plan (September 1998) were approved by EPA and SCDHEC. The Preliminary
Close-out Report found that there was no definable contaminant plume on
site. In January of 2013, the EPA conducted a scientific evaluation of
the durability and leachability of the monolith at the Site. The
objective of the report was to determine the durability of the S/S
wastes (the monolith) based on physical measurements (moisture content,
bulk and dry density, permeability, wet/dry durability). The evaluation
indicates that the monolith has remained stable in the environment
during the 20 year period since completion of the remedial action. No
evidence indicating any adverse change in physical condition was
observed. Some evidence of the capacity for leaching of cement binder
and COCs from the monolith was indicated; however, the leaching would
be expected to be very minor and not likely indicative of a possibly
adverse condition, either presently or long-term, or with regard to
groundwater contamination. Testing and analyses supports the conclusion
that COCs remain highly bound within the monolith and that leaching of
these COCs is unlikely to adversely impact the surrounding soil and/or
groundwater environment under current site conditions.

Operation and Maintenance

    The 1998 AROD reported that long-term O&M of the remedy was not
required. There were no O&M costs associated with the Site since the
2004 FYR. The declaration of covenants and restrictions on the property
was made and entered into on October 11, 2001, by Pile Drivers, Inc, a
South Carolina Corporation. Pile Drivers is the owner of the property
in Charleston County, South Carolina, more specifically described in
the Title of Real Estate record in the book W127 at page 390 in the
Charleston County RMC Office. The declaration of covenants and
restrictions to restrict use of the site soils and ground water states
the following: ``Pile Drivers hereby covenants for itself, its
successors and assigns, that the Soil Treatment Area shall not be used
for residential or agricultural purposes; prohibit activities, include
but are not limited to: Filling; drilling; excavation; anchoring;
removal of top soil, rock, or minerals; plowing; planting; cultivation
(other than maintenance of the ground cover); and change of the
topography in any manner.''

Five-Year Review

    The remedy at the Geiger (C & M Oil) Site currently protects human
health and the environment because exposure pathways that could result
in unacceptable risks are being controlled. Soils have been cleaned up
to industrial standards using S/S, the property is currently being used
for industrial purposes, and ground water sampling results over
multiple years led to decommissioning 27 monitoring wells. Five-year
reviews (FYR) are statutorily required as long as waste is left on site
that does not allow for unrestricted use and unlimited exposure. Three
FYRs have already been completed and the next FYR is planned for FY
2014.

Community Involvement

    On August 15, 2008, a public notice was published in the Post and
Courier Announcing the commencement of the third FYR process for the
Geiger site, providing contact information for EPA site staff, and
inviting community participation. Copies of this document are available
in the Site's public repository: St. Paul's Parish Library,

5151 Town Council Drive, Hollywood, SC 29449, where additional
information about the Site can be found in CD format. Community
involvement activities associated with the deletion will consist of
issuing a deletion fact sheet, publishing a public notice in the local
newspaper, updating the information repository, and providing the
public an opportunity to comment.

Determination That the Site Meets the Criteria for Deletion in the NCP

    The NCP (40 CFR 300.425(e)) states that a site may be deleted from
the NPL when no further response action is appropriate. The implemented
remedy achieves the degree of cleanup specified in the ROD and ROD
Amendments for all pathways of exposure. All selected remedial action
objectives and clean-up goals are consistent with agency policy and
guidance. EPA, in consultation with the State of South Carolina, has
determined that all required response actions have been implemented and
no further response action by the responsible parties is appropriate.

V. Deletion Action

    The EPA, with concurrence of the State of South Carolina through
the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other
than operation, maintenance, monitoring and five-year reviews have been
completed. Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from the NPL.
    Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and
routine, EPA is taking it without prior publication. This action will
be effective January 6, 2014 unless EPA receives adverse comments by
December 5, 2013. If adverse comments are received within the 30-day
public comment period, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this
direct Final Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the
deletion, and it will not take effect. EPA will prepare a response to
comments and continue with the deletion process on the basis of the
notice of intent to delete and the comments already received. There
will be no additional opportunity to comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Children's Health Protection Advisory
Committee is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),
Public Law 92-463. EPA established this Committee in 1997 to provide
independent advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of
environmental issues affecting children's health.
    Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for two year terms
with a cap on service at six years. The Committee meets 2-3 times
annually and the average workload is approximately 10 to 15 hours per
month. EPA provides reimbursement for travel and other incidental
expenses associated with official government business, but members must
be able to cover expenses prior to reimbursement.
    The CHPAC is looking for representatives from the private sector,
state and local government, academia (including a graduate level
student representative), NGOs, public health practitioners,
pediatricians, obstetrics, occupational medicine, community nurses,
environmental groups, health groups, health research, epidemiology and
toxicology.
    We are looking for experience in children's environmental health
policy, research, and in specific issues such as lead poisoning and
asthma, prenatal environmental exposures, chemical exposures, public
health information tracking, knowledge of EPA regulation development,
risk assessment, exposure assessment, tribal children's environmental
health and children's environmental health disparities. EPA encourages
nominations from all racial and ethnic groups.
    The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees:

concerns for children's health; Exposures that affect children's health
in homes, schools, child care centers; Building capacity among health
providers to

prevent, diagnose and treat environmental health conditions in
children.
--The background and experience that would contribute to the diversity
of perspectives on the committee (e.g., geographic, economic, social,
cultural, educational, and other considerations).
--Ability to volunteer time to attend meetings 2-3 times a year in
Washington, DC, participate in teleconference meetings, develop
recommendations to the Administrator, and prepare reports and advice
letters.

    Nominations must include a short statement of interest, resume and
a short biography describing the professional and educational
qualifications of the nominee, attestation that nominee is not a
lobbyist, a statement about the perspective and diversity the nominee
brings to the committee, as well as the nominee's current business
