The RI was authorized to investigate the potential for impact to human health and the environment resulting from documented uncontrolled releases of organic and inorganic contaminants to the Calcasieu Estuary. This report is the result of three years of site characterization, data evaluation, technical analysis, and reporting, through the cooperation of numerous federal and state agencies, including EPA, and EPA's contractor COM, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. This executive summary contains 15 sections that summarize the background and history (Section ES-1 and ES-2), the RI planning and implementation phases of work (Section ES-3 and ES-4), data evaluation and analysis for the reference area and four specific areas of concern (AOCs) (Section ES-5 through ES-11), summaries of the ecological and human health risk assessments (Section ES-12 through 14), and overall summary and conclusions (Section ES-15). Tables and figures that support the discussion are included in the text. ES-1 Introduction • ES-1.1 General The Calcasieu Estuary is located in the southwestern corner of Louisiana, predominately in Township 10 South, Range 9 West (Figure ES-1). The study area covers approximately 50 square kilometers (km2) of the Calcasieu River basin, and extends from a constructed saltwater barrier on the Calcasieu River north of the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana south to Moss Lake, approximately 24 km south of Lake Charles. The estuary is created by saltwater migrating north from the Gulf of Mexico via the Calcasieu River Ship Channel and freshwater draining toward the Gulf from numerous inland rivers, bayous, and lakes. The estuary supports a diverse aquatic ecosystem, which is surrounded by a typical industrialized city. As noted above, the RI/FS process for the Calcasieu Estuary was initiated by EPA Region VI under EPA's Region VIII Response Action Contract (RAC) No. 68-W5-0022, Work Assignment No. 941-RICO-06ZZ. EPA is addressing threats to human health and the environment related to uncontrolled releases of organic and inorganic chemicals to the estuary under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as Superfund, and the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). CERCLA provides the federal government with authority to develop Jong-term solutions for those sites that pose unacceptable levels of risk to human and ecological receptors and CDf./1 ES-1 • 3282-941-FITZ-RUHZ-13707 Executive Summa,y • Calcasieu Estuary R//FS to arrange for the restoration of damaged natural resources and determine distribution of cost of the actions to potentially responsible parties through cost recovery. It is important to note, however, that the Calcasieu Estuary is not a Superfund site by virtue of listing on the National Priorities List (NPL). Instead, CERCLA provisions allow for sites to progress through, but not beyond, the RI/FS process without a Hazard Ranking System (HRS) score ES-1.2 Objectives of the RI The RI objectives were: • Define the nature and extent of chemical contamination in sediment, surface water, and biota within the Calcasieu Estuary • Estimate the risk to ecological and human risk receptors in the Calcasieu Estuary To meet these objectives, the RI included two phases of investigation, and ecological and human health risk assessments, as described in Section ES-4. The human health risk assessment estimated risk to residential, commercial/ industrial worker, and recreational user populations, as discussed in Section ES-14. The ecological risk assessment used a weight of evidence approach including, hazard quotients, sediment • quality triad data, and food chain modeling to estimate potential risk to ecological receptors (Section ES-13). ES-1.3 Site History and Historical Site Characterization Industrial development dominates much land within and around the Calcasieu Estuary. This development dates back to the late 1800s and is directly related to improvements of the Calcasieu River and subsequently the Calcasieu River Ship Channel. Major industry, including chemical manufacturing and petroleum refining companies first appeared in the Calcasieu Parish vicinity during the early 1920s, with the discovery of nearby petroleum and natural gas reserves. In 1938, Calcasieu River was expanded to include an inland ship channel from Lake Charles to the Gulf of Mexico. World War II and post-war years were a catalyst for further industrial development in the Calcasieu Estuary. Abundant raw materials, like crude oil and natural gas, coupled with acreage,

  • The Calcasieu-Sabine Basin
    THE CALCASIEU-SABINE BASIN The Calcasieu-Sabine Basin consists of two semi-distinct hydrologic units, the Calcasieu River basin and the Sabine River basin, which is continuous between Louisiana and Texas. This study is confined to the Louisiana region east of the Sabine River to Louisiana Highway 27 (Figure 25). Fresh, intermediate, and brackish marshes dominate this estuary (Figure 26 and Table 8). The Calcasieu, Sabine, and Neches rivers are the principal sources of freshwater inflow into this region. The Sabine and Calcasieu rivers follow a north-south gradient, whereas the Neches River flows into Sabine Lake from the northwest. Additionally, an east- west flow occurs between the basins via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) and existing canals on the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge. The hydrology of this area is affected by a complex combination of riverine freshwater inflow, Gulf of Mexico tides, precipitation, and wind effects on water level and directional flow. The Sabine River is the dominant influence across most of the basin in moderating gulf salinity and tidal fluctuations. Observations by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel reveal that strong and prolonged south and southeast winds result in large volumes of Gulf of Mexico water being pushed into Calcasieu and Sabine lakes, which causes the water level in the marshes to rise (Paille 1996). A similar effect on marsh water level has been observed during periods of low barometric pressure in the region (Paille 1996). History of Hydrologic Modifications to the Calcasieu-Sabine Basin Calcasieu River, Calcasieu Ship Channel, and Calcasieu Lake The lower Calcasieu River and the Calcasieu Ship Channel (CSC) have been maintained for navigation since 1874, when the U.S.
