001654 Section 1.0 Overview of the Community Involvement Plan

EPA developed this Community Involvement Plan to facilitate two-way communication between the community surrounding the Bandera Road Groundwater Plume Superfund Site and EPA and to encourage community involvement in site activities. EPA will utilize the community involvement activities outlined in this plan to ensure that residents are continuously informed and provided opportunities to be involved.

This Community Involvement Plan addresses Bandera Road Groundwater Plume’s relationship to the community and EPA (Section 2.0), provides a background of the community (Section 3.0), presents EPA’s community involvement program (Section 4.0), and provides a listing of resources available (Appendices). EPA drew upon several information sources to develop this plan, including community interviews and site files. EPA’s Regional Office will oversee the implementation of the community involvement activities outlined in this Plan.

Section 2.0 Capsule Site Description

2.1 Site History

In June 2004, the TCEQ Superfund Site Discovery and Assessment Program (SSDAP) conducted an SSI at the site under the PA/SI Grant Program for the U.S. EPA Region 6.

The Bandera Road Ground Water Plume site consists of the chlorinated organic constituents, primarily tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) originating from unidentified sources in the Leon Valley area of San Antonio. The ground water plume is centered between Poss Road and Grissom Road, approximately 590 feet southwest of Bandera Road. The highest concentrations of PCE and TCE generally trend north-south along Grissom Road between Bandera Road and Shadow Mist Drive.

The Site is a groundwater plume with no identified source.

2.2 Site Description/Location

The Bandera Road Ground Water Plume site is situated in Bexar County, in the City of Leon Valley, which is in the northwestern section of the City of San Antonio, Texas. The plume is centered in a business area, with some residential homes nearby.

The current identified boundaries of the plume are as follows: Linklea Drive (northern boundary); El Verde Road (eastern boundary); Shadow Mist Drive (southern boundary); and, Sawyer Road (western boundary)

Latitude: 29E 29' 39.96" North Longitude: 98E 37' 13.80" West

2.3 Site Inspections and Cleanup Activities

As a result of the June 2004 TCEQ SSI conducted at the site under the PA/SI Grant Program for the U.S. EPA Region 6, a total of 33 private wells and 9 PWS wells have been sampled or evaluated to define the approximate current limits of the ground water contaminant plume. Out of the 33 private wells in the investigation, analytical results indicate that 11 wells met the criteria for an observed release of PCE and/or TCE. Six of the 11 private drinking water wells with an observed release also have concentrations exceeding health based levels (i.e., Maximum Concentration Levels, MCL). The ground water sampling included wells (private drinking water wells and Public Water Supply (PWS) wells) that were located within a 2 mile radius from the center of the known contaminant plume.

The geographical boundaries of the contaminant ground water plume are defined by 11 private drinking water wells that met the criteria for an observed release to ground water. These 11 private wells show the known extent of the plume and also establish the constituents of concern that have been released to ground water.

In response to the contamination found in private drinking water wells in the area that exceed MCL, the TCEQ installed Granulated Activated Charcoal (GAC) water filtration systems on five (5) private wells (Ref. 47, p. 4). TCEQ contractors also conducted a door-to-door well survey to locate any additional private wells within a two-mile radius of this area.

The source of the PCE and TCE contamination is unknown and the area of contamination remains widely undefined. Previous investigations have suggested several potential source areas near the drinking water wells; including a former military airfield (Culver Airfield) located on Grissom Road. Searches for potential sources have identified dry cleaners, automobile related service facilities, and several light industrial sites. A search for potential sources of ground

Bandera Road Groundwater Plume 2 November 2006 Community Involvement Plan

001656 water impacts within an approximate two-mile radius of the center of the contaminant plume has resulted in the identification of 21 current or former dry cleaners; 26 current or former automobile related service facilities; and, four (4) light-industrial sites.

Because approximately 51 potential sources that have been identified and the source(s) for the release are unknown, a ground water plume with no identified source was used for the source description. The ground water plume was characterized based on the following:

The extent of the plume, although not fully demarcated, was defined using the criteria for an observed release to the Ground Water Migration Pathway; and,

The level of effort to identify the original source(s) of the hazardous substances was equivalent to an Expanded Site Inspection (ESI).

a. An initial environmental assessment was conducted at 6703 Bandera Road for a dry cleaner located near the intersection of Bandera and Grissom Road. The assessment of the property located at 6703 Bandera Road resulted in soil borings to evaluate the property at 6715 Bandera Road; a water well survey and sampling program of 8 wells located within a 2 mile radius of the property; and, PRPs within a 2 mile radius of the property. The assessment was inconclusive regarding the sources of the ground water release.

b. The TCEQ conducted subsequent response actions from May 2004 through December 2005 that resulted in sampling of 32 private wells located within a 2 mile radius of the center of the plume. To date, approximately 130 samples have been collected from the 32 wells over four sampling events in 2004 and 2005. Also, the TCEQ has identified approximately 51 PRPs within approximately a 2 mile radius of the center of contamination . The TCEQ response actions have demarcated the PCE and TCE plumes associated with observed releases to ground water (see Figure 3), but have not determined the source(s) of the release to the ground water due to the karst conditions associated with the Edwards Aquifer.

On behalf of the EPA, the San Antonio office of the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) completed a wellinventory and verification effort to identify wells located in the area of the Bandera Road groundwater plume. Sixty-seven wells were inventoried and field verified. The EPA has requested access to many of these wells for subsequent sampling and investigation. Some of the wells identified in the survey are not available for study because they have been plugged (i.e., closed). Forty of the wells identified in the USGS Survey were previously sampled by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), with six found to contain concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) above the Safe Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 5.0 parts per billion (ppb). Of these six wells, five wells were being used as a source of drinking water. The TCEQ installed activated carbon systems as a temporary measure on these five wells to provide safe drinking water. The EPA has hooked up three of these residences to a public water supply lines and is pursuing arrangements with the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to extend municipal service lines to connect the other affected well owners to a public water supply.

Bandera Road Groundwater Plume 3 November 2006 Community Involvement Plan

001657 The most recent well sampling event occurred in April. Select wells are being prepared for subsequent study. This effort includes pulling inoperable pumps from select wells and installing new surface completions to secure these wells.

Section 3.0 Community Background

3.1 Community Profile

The population within a 1 mile radius is approximately 2,465 and is 13.3% economically stressed. The community has an Environmental Justice Index of 3.

3.2 History of Community Involvement

The EPA, TCEQ, and TSHDS had meetings with the Mayor, City Manager and City Council to brief them on the site plans prior to site being listed on the National Priorities List. Quarterly meetings with the Mayor, City Manager, and other City reps continue on a quarterly basis.

3.3 Key Community Concerns

Contamination of ground water is of great concern. Without identification and investigation of the source of groundwater contamination, private wells may be contaminated and residents exposed to unsafe concentrations of hazardous substances

3.4 Response to Community Concerns

Human exposure is currently prevented through groundwater sampling and the use of activated carbon filtration systems on affected wells. Residents with drinking water wells with PCE/TCE concentrations above the federal drinking water standards are being hook up to the local public water supply. The EPA continues working with City officials to ensure ground water contamination is addressed.

3.5 Summary of Communication Needs

There will be a possible need for translation for non-English speaking persons and hearing impaired members of the community.

Section 4.0 EPA’s Community Involvement Program

The overall goal of EPA’s community involvement program is to promote two-way communication between citizens and the EPA and to provide opportunities for meaningful and active involvement by the community in the cleanup process. EPA will implement the community involvement activities described below. The following plan is based on the results of the community interviews described earlier; it addresses each issue that was identified as being important to the community.
