| Abstract |
This ROD sets forth the selected remedy for the Pownal Tannery Superfund Site (the Site) located in Pownal, Vermont. The selected remedy for the Site will address contaminated lagoon sludge where elevated concentrations of hazardous substances were detected. Among the contaminants detected at elevated levels are dioxin, chromium, lead, arsenic and benzo(a)pyrene. This remedy entails the excavation and consolidation of tannery lagoon waste, construction of a low permeability cap over the consolidated wastes on-site, long-term monitoring of river sediments and ground water, and institutional controls to protect the cap from disturbance and prevent ground water consumption and excavation of waste in the lagoon area. The remedy also encompasses the maintenance of a landfill cap at an area of the Site remediated under a previous non-time critical removal action (NTCRA). The selected remedy is a comprehensive approach for this Site that addresses all current and potential future risks caused by Site wastes. At the former tannery lagoons the cleanup approach will prevent direct contact risks with contaminated lagoon waste and will significantly decrease further off-site migration that the lagoon sludge could cause through leaching to the ground water or erosion to the adjacent river through flooding events. As a result of previous removal actions, the soil and sludge contamination in the lagoon area was the only medium requiring remedial action. |
