The Melton Valley watershed presents a multifaceted management and decision-making challenge because of the very heterogeneous conditions that exist with respect to contaminant type, disposal unit age, mode of disposal, release mechanism, and potential risk-producing pathways. The investigation presented here has assembled relevant site data in the geographic context with the intent of enabling program managers and decision-makers to understand site conditions and evaluate the necessity, relative priority, and scope of potential remedial actions. The industrial and recreational exposure scenarios are used to provide a risk assessment reference context to evaluate levels of contamination in surface water, groundwater, soil, and sediment within each subbasin of the Melton Valley watershed. All available analytical results for the media of interest that could be qualified for use in the risk assessment were screened to determine carcinogenic risk values and noncarcinogenic hazard indexes and to identify the chemicals of concern (COCs) for each evaluated media in each subbasin.
This document contains Appendixes A''Source Inventory Information for the Subbasins Evaluated for the White Oak Creek Watershed'' and B''Human Health Risk Assessment for White Oak Creek / Melton Valley Area'' for the remedial investigation report for the White Oak Creek Watershed and Melton Valley Area. Appendix A identifies the waste types and contaminants for each subbasin in addition to the disposal methods. Appendix B identifies potential human health risks and hazards that may result from contaminants present in the different media within Oak Ridge National Laboratory sites.

This document contains appendices A (water characterization), B (sediment characterization), C (biota Characterization), D (applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements) from the combined Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Report for the Clinch River/Poplar Crack (CR/PC) Operable Unit (OU). The CR/PC OU is located in Anderson and Roane Counties, Tennessee and consists of the Clinch River and several of its embayments in Melton Hill and Watts Bar Reservoirs. These waters have received hazardous substances released over a period of 50 years from the US Department of Energys̀ Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), a National Priority List site established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. A remedial investigation has been conducted to determine the current nature and extent of any contamination and to assess the resulting risk to human health and the environment. The feasibility study evaluates remedial action alternatives to identify any that are feasible for implementation and that would effectively reduce risk. Historical studies had indicated that current problems would likely include 137Cs in sediment of the Clinch River, mercury in sediment and fish of Poplar Creek and PCBs and pesticides in fish from throughout the OU. Peak releases of mercury and 137Cs occurred over 35 years ago, and current releases are low. Past releases of PCBs from the ORR are poorly quantified, and current releases are difficult to quantify because levels are so low. The site characterization focused on contaminants in surface water, sediment, and biota. Contaminants in surface water were all found to be below Ambient Water Quality Criteria. Other findings included the following: elevated metals including cesium 137 and mercury in McCoy Branch sediments; PCBs and chlordane elevated in several fish species, presenting the only major human health risk, significant ecological risks in Poplar Creek but not in the Clinch River.
The U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC) directed ABB Environmental Services, Inc. (ABB-ES), under Contract No. DAAA15-91-D-0008, to collect environmental samples at Fort Devens, Massachusetts to fill data gaps identified during initiation of the Feasibility Study (FS) for Group 1A sites. The Group 1A sites include the Shepley's Hill Landfill and Cold Spring Brook Landfill at Fort Devens. This Remedial Investigation (RI) Addendum report summarizes the supplemental field investigations, presents the data obtained, and updates the baseline risk assessment prepared for the RI report. Field investigation programs were conducted between September 1992 and July 1993 and included collecting and analyzing of sediment core samples from Plow Shop and Cold Spring Brook ponds, collecting and analyzing fish tissue samples from these two ponds, and conducting a macroinvertebrate study of the two ponds. In addition, several new monitoring wells were installed and groundwater samples were collected for analysis from 27 monitoring wells at Shepley's Hill Landfill and from 10 monitoring wells at Cold Spring Brook Landfill. Soil, sediment, and groundwater samples were also collected from several other areas, including Nonacoicus Brook Wetland and Grove Pond adjacent to Shepley's Hill Landfill, and the Magazine Area adjacent to Cold Spring Brook Landfill.
