2 Site Description

2.1 Former Nike Site C-32 Description and Location The site is in the Town of Porter, Indiana, which is approximately 3 miles northwest of Chesterton, Indiana. There is no street address for the site. The former Launch Area is on North Wagner Road, north of West Oak Hill Road. According to the Preliminary Assessment (PA), the former Nike Site C-32 was operated from 1957 through 1974. The site was declared excess in 1974. The former Launch Area was conveyed to a private owner, who sold the Launch Area property in 1988 to another private owner, Ms. Geneva Grimble. In 2003, the ready building, located in the former Launch Area and surrounding land of approximately 0.36 acre, was parceled as a separate property, and had several owners between 2003 and 2005. Currently, the separate property is owned and used as a private residence by J. Bonnema (GEO Consultants 20071). Facilities at the former Launch Area include the ready building, missile test and assembly building, generator building, warheading building, water treatment facility, acid storage shed, storage and pump building, three underground storage magazines, and a sewage treatment plant. With the exception of the ready building and the sentry station at the main gate, all former Nike Site C-32 structures remain. The three missile launchers were built for the Hercules missiles. The elevators were “Type D” for Hercules missiles and were 63 feet long by 68 feet wide. The underground missile magazines have been dewatered, demolished, and backfilled. Based on the findings of the PA, the sanitary sewer connects the missile assembly building and the ready building to the subsurface sand filter system. No indications of floor drains were found in the missile assembly building. Drains and sumps in the warheading building and missile silo area connect to a storm drain that discharges to surface drainage areas north and west of the area. Additional details concerning the prior PA and other investigations and remedial activities are discussed in Section 2.2. 2.2 Previous USACE Involvement The previous investigations conducted on behalf of USACE at the project site are summarized in this section. The following summary information was obtained from the preliminary assessment (PA; GEO Consultants, 2007):

 In September 2003, CATI Inc. removed three underground storage tanks (USTs), two aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), and one transformer at the former Launch Area. One UST was located west of the fallout shelter, and two USTs were located outside the generator building. One AST was located inside the generator building, and one AST was located outside the missile test and assembly building. Soil samples from the excavated UST pits and near the ASTs were collected and analyzed for total petroleum

hydrocarbons (TPHs), and the PA states there were some exceedances of screening criteria identified in the samples (GEO Consultants 2007). According to the PA, additional soil was removed, samples were collected and analyzed, and results were below the screening criteria. The transformer was located next to the generator building. No visual evidence of leaks was observed from the transformer. The transformer oil was tested, and no polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected. In addition, groundwater and sediment that had collected in the underground missile magazines was sampled. Groundwater was sampled for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), pesticides, PCBs, herbicides, and metals. The PA states that SVOCs, pesticides, and PCBs were not detected (GEO Consultants 2007). One VOC was detected in one sample collected from the far northern missile magazine, and one herbicide was detected in one sample collected from the far southern missile magazine.

 In 2005, Cape Environmental dewatered, demolished, and backfilled the missile magazines in the former Launch Area. Cape Environmental also conducted an investigation of the transformers along West Oak Hill Road. During the site visit performed for the PA, GEO Consultants stated that Cape Environmental previously had removed the transformers and was in the process of removing the soil and backfilling the area (GEO Consultants 2007).

 GEO Consultants conducted a PA in 2007 to assess whether the site posed a threat to human health or the environment, or whether further investigations were required. Based on the findings of the PA, GEO Consultants recommended the following:

 In the former Launch Area, soil/sediment and sand filter sampling should be conducted at the missile test and assembly building, warheading building, sand filter bed and associated sewer lines, and the ditches along the launch pad. In addition, sampling should be performed on groundwater from the well at the former Launch Area, seepage south of the generator building, in the subsurface filter bed, and sediment where the former Launch Area sewage treatment system discharges.

 An investigation should be conducted into the potential existence of a heating oil UST next to the ready building.

 A survey should be conducted to determine the need for removing asbestos- containing material and transformers at the former Launch Area buildings. The buildings include the missile test and assembly building, generator building, and pump building. In addition, debris should be removed from inside the buildings and on the grounds of the former Launch Area.

 In November 2008, CH2M HILL conducted a site inspection at the former Launch Area2 at the direction of USACE. The focus of the investigation was on the following: the generator building; sediment, sump discharge, and ditch areas; missile test and assembly building/warheading area; missile magazine area; sewage treatment sand filter; and sand filter discharge. The fieldwork consisted of performing direct-push soil

borings and collecting soil samples near the areas of concern, and collecting sediment samples from ditch areas by hand auger. In addition, background soil samples were collected. Samples were analyzed for project-specific metals (including lead, total chromium, hexavalent chromium, trivalent chromium, sodium, zinc, magnesium, cadmium, and mercury), VOCs, SVOCs, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, PCBs, and/or soil pH. In addition, synthetic precipitation leaching procedure analysis was performed on the two samples from the former Launch Area exhibiting the highest metals concentrations. The following exceedances were detected:  Two VOCs exceeded IDEM Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) residential criteria in 1 soil sample at 24 feet below ground surface in the missile magazine area.  1,2-Dichloroethane (DCA) was detected at a concentration of 0.031 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg), which is slightly higher than the IDEM VRP residential criterion (0.025 mg/kg). However, the value was estimated, and the field duplicate was below the IDEM VRP residential criterion.  Trichloroethene (TCE) was detected at a concentration of 5.8 mg/kg, which is above the IDEM VRP residential criterion (0.076 mg/kg). The field duplicate was detected at a concentration of 4.1 mg/kg, which is also above the IDEM VRP residential criterion.  One detected lead concentration (928 mg/kg) in sediment sample SD-07 exceeded the advisory IDEM VRP lead value and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 preliminary remediation goal of 400 mg/kg.

 CH2M HILL conducted supplemental site inspection activities in July 2010 to further assess VOC concentrations in subsurface soil and groundwater, and to remediate the elevated sediment lead value detected in the ditch area detected during the November 2008 sampling event. The following activities were completed during the 2010 supplemental SI activities:

 Sediment was excavated around the location of the elevated lead value. Sediment confirmation samples were subsequently collected from the sidewalls and floor of the excavation. All sediment confirmation samples were below the advisory IDEM and Region 9 preliminary remediation goal value of 400 mg/kg. Therefore, sediment lead exceedances have been remediated, and sediment does not pose a risk to human health and the environment.

 Subsurface soil was sampled and analyzed and contained VOC detections that exceeded VRP residential criteria in some samples.

 Six groundwater monitoring wells were installed, and groundwater samples were collected for VOC analysis. TCE, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, and 1,2-DCA exceeded IDEM VRP residential groundwater criteria in two monitoring wells.

 CH2M HILL conducted a remedial investigation (RI) in September 2011 to further assess VOC concentrations in subsurface soil and groundwater. Thirteen additional soil borings were installed to a maximum depth of 55 feet. Thirteen groundwater monitoring wells were installed with screened intervals at approximately two depths: 24 feet and 55 feet. The following activities were completed during the RI activities:

ES061812144244MKE 2-3

G05IN000102_08.06_0500_p DRAFT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN: FORMER NIKE SITE C-32 LAUNCH AREA

 Subsurface soil was sampled, and VOCs were detected at concentrations that exceeded VRP residential criteria in some samples. Most of the exceedances were found at a depth of 24 feet below ground surface.

 Thirteen groundwater monitoring wells were installed and groundwater samples were collected for VOC analysis. TCE and cis-1,2-dichloroethene exceeded IDEM VRP residential groundwater criteria in four onsite monitoring wells installed at 24 feet below ground surface. The potentiometric surface results for water levels measured during the RI investigation indicates the site groundwater moves to the northeast, northwest, and east. As a result of this investigation, CH2M HILL performed several additional RI tasks from September 2012 through August 2014:

 Four additional onsite wells were installed to a depth of 24 feet below ground surface. Four offsite wells were installed in the vacant lot immediately east of the site. Three wells were installed to 24 feet below ground surface and one well was installed to 70 feet below ground surface.

 Groundwater sampling for VOCs was conducted quarterly on the offsite wells. No VOCs exceeded IDEM VRP residential groundwater criteria in the offsite wells.

 Five soil gas sampling points were installed approximately 80 feet from the house that is downgradient of the onsite VOC groundwater exceedances and soil gas was sampled in September 2012, December 2012, March 2013, and August 2013. None of the soil gas points exceeded the IDEM soil gas screening criteria for site related VOCs.

 Three tap water samples were collected from the three homes adjacent to the site and were analyzed for chlorinated VOCs. None of the well samples exhibited chlorinated VOC concentrations associated with site related VOCs.

The Town of Porter is home to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Beginning with Joseph Bailly’s arrival in 1822 to set up fur trading along the Little Calumet River. Railroads, a race track, a mineral spa, and brick factories have played a part in the town’s history and development. Originating in 1834, the town has had many different names, including Baillytown, Old Porter, and Hageman. In 1908, it was incorporated under the name of Porter. Land use in Porter is a mix of residential and commercial. Several restaurants and a residential neighborhood make up the old downtown area, while the corridor along U.S. Highway 20 is home to several manufacturing and service industries. The Town of Porter is governed by a five-member Town Council. Council members serve 4 year terms. The council meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Porter Town Hall. The Town of Porter is part of the Duneland Area, which encompasses Beverly Shores, Burns Harbor, Chesterton, Dune Acres and Porter in Porter County Indiana. Founded in 1836, Porter County has more than 164,000 residents. Porter County operates under an elected Board of Commissioners responsible for administration, and a seven-member County Council that must approve all county appropriations. To help maintain the area’s natural beauty, Porter County formed the Duneland Economic Development Company, a Section 501(c)3 non-profit organization set up to work with all of

G05IN000102_08.06_0500_p DRAFT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN: FORMER NIKE SITE C-32 LAUNCH AREA the communities in the Duneland Area to promote smart growth and protect natural resources. 3.2 History of Public Involvement USACE maintains contact with adjacent property owners and Town of Porter officials to keep them informed about project activities. Information about the USACE’s work at the Launch Area can be found on the internet at http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/Portals/64/docs/Environmental/article%20C-32.pdf 3.3 Key Community Concerns Based on USACE communication with the Town of Porter Building Commissioner, Michael Barry, the adjacent property owners are on well water, and Mr. Barry asked if the property owners’ wells would be sampled. USACE sampled certain property owners’ water wells as discussed in Section 2.2 above. As part of the sampling effort, USACE provided property owners with information about their groundwater well results and obtained feedback about their concerns and information needs. None of the property owners expressed concern over the tap water results. USACE will communicate information about ongoing project activities to the property owners and stakeholders. Upon completion of the site investigation, the public involvement program will be re-evaluated and the public involvement plan will be revised to accommodate additional project activities.

4 USACE’s Public Involvement Program

4.1 Overall Goals of USACE’s Public Involvement Program The goals of USACE’s Public Involvement Program are to be forthright and responsive, and to communicate clearly with stakeholders. USACE–Louisville District’s objectives are to resolve misunderstanding about environmental issues, facilitate two-way communication with stakeholders, and enhance the USACE–Louisville District’s ability to perform this mission in the most effective and efficient manner. 4.2 The Public Involvement Plan The public involvement plan for the former Launch Area is designed to allow stakeholders to receive accurate information concerning the ongoing investigations and activities at the site. The former Launch Area site public involvement plan includes the following approaches:

 Promote and maintain open communications between USACE and project stakeholders. Inviting open and honest communications with stakeholders enables USACE leadership to understand and address concerns about site investigations with specific attention to health, safety, and environmental issues.

 Provide stakeholders with information about the project through one-on-one discussions and by establishing an information repository and Administrative Record file for the site. Stakeholders may be interested in information about the history of the site and environmental initiatives underway at the site. To implement the approaches, USACE will employ the following techniques as part of the public involvement plan:

 Information repository. An information repository has been established at Westchester Public Library, 200 W Indiana Ave. Chesterton, IN 46304.

 Administrative Record file. An Administrative Record file enables the community to review documents that form the basis for USACE decisions concerning remedial actions. The Administrative Record file will be available for public review at Hageman Memorial Library (address listed above).

 Information contact. The Public Affairs Office point of contact for the USACE–Louisville District is Katelyn Newton. She may be reached by telephone at 502-315-6773, and by mail at the following address: Public Affairs Office, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, 600 Martin Luther King, Jr. Place, Louisville, KY 40202-2232.

 Website. USACE maintains a website for the Launch Area. Information about site investigations can be found at: http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/Portals/64/docs/Environmental/article%20C-32.pdf

ES061812144244MKE 4-1

G05IN000102_08.06_0500_p DRAFT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN: FORMER NIKE SITE C-32 LAUNCH AREA

 Revision of the public involvement plan. The public involvement plan will be revised, as necessary, to update facts and verify information, assess the community relations program to determine whether the same or different approaches will continue to be taken, and to develop strategies to prepare the community for future roles as possible remediation activities at the former Launch Area progress. 4.3 Schedule for Public Involvement Activities Investigation activities began in 2011 and will continue into 2017, and public involvement activities will be conducted as needed to coincide with project technical milestones. In addition to communicating with adjacent property owners and Town of Porter officials, the USACE will implement public involvement activities that may include letters to stakeholders, fact sheets, newsletters, and public meetings. These tools can be used to keep the public better informed of the current activities at the site.
