'!'he events' involved in the ", 1.1. 1 - TIERRA-B-015629 .. above captioned ,civil action~curredduring this period. I I have a B.-S,.degree in''aivil engineering and, prior to lily' emploYlllent, with ·defendant, I had about 17 years ofaxperiance~in'the metal' fabricating-industry, primarily 1n the management field.' 2. Defendant owns about 14 acres of land in Harri~ 80n, NewJersey, on ..fhich it conducts a ateel rolling mill. 'lhese ~ 14 acres ~re part of a larger industrial complex containing about 60.acres oa which ~ny others operate various types of industrial, manUfacturing and .ervice activities. I am informed ~at at one tilll8 defendant owned the entire complex, and that, fro'Jatime to time, it;..conveyed portions of the tract to others, until it was left with the mentioned 14 acres. J. At 'its ~arrison plant, defendant fabricates sheet and coil steel into' various product. which m~et the parti~ \ , cular specifications of defendant's customers.. Its manufacturing actiVity ilJ-t1ot conducted at or near the bank of the Passaic Ri~ / ~ ver ~ . Separating the plant and the river i8 a roadway about 50 feet wide and an open area about 75 feet w~de. 4. On January 16, 1970, plaintiff gave written notice to .defendant that a -polluting .. terial euch as oU- wa. , being discharged from a box culvert locatedJ.t the bank of the • • Pa••• ic River -in front- of defendant's Harrison plant., 5. this culvert is. the terminal point of a largeI underground storm drain pipe or main. According to available . maps, this main is 1275 feet long: it is B feet 6 inches in dia- meter in aome places, and B feet B inches 1n diameter at other .places. Only a relatively ahort portion of this main runs be- neath.defendant'. 14 acre tract. Befo;e thi. main'reaches defen~ dant's"lands, it runs a considerable distance beneath lands in the ,. 1Or.) '- - 2 - TIERRA-B-015630 complex formerly owned by defondant but presently owned an~ used by others. Afte~ this main leaves defendant"s proper~ it runs.. r,-- beneath ~e ~ve mentioned roadway and,bene~th the oper('areades- cribed above, a total distance of about 125 feet, before it ter-. minatoa at ~e river • . 6. T.hismain is part of a storm drainage system, which has been in IXiatence for ~ny 'years. It consists of about 16,588 feet of underground pipe. It is designed to collect sur- face water and to discharge it into the pauaic River. Other com- ponents in the system are manholes into Which surface drai~age runs, and laterals from the manholes which are connected to the , main. 7. .From the maps 'available ,it appears that the~e are 16 known laterals which run into this main. Four of these laterals run to tho main from ln4nholes on tho 14 acre port!9n of ... the complex presently owned by defendant, 'a~d the other 12 run in- to'the main from points outside the proporty owned,by defendant and used by other occupants of the industrial complex. ' 8. After defendant received tqe notice from plain- tiff dated January 16, 1970, I had a numbe~ of conversations with plaintiff's personnel. They descrtbed the -polluting material- referred to in their notice as a continuous flow of a fine oily ~ substance- that has 1:b" IRpearanse Of , " ne number 2 type fuel - or pulverized substanca..",Defendant haa not been furnished with , - • any .pecific or mor~ accurate description of this substance,' I was .informed bY plaintiff-s ~st, Mr. Goldberg, that...... the..., sample 1:aken'by plaintiff at the outfall of the aliOve~mentioned main and· SUbmitted to him for analysis; did.. not contain aufficient quanti- - 3 - TIERRA-B-015631 of this SUbstance to permit him to identify it. I .. ._~~ 9. I am reasonably certain that the 8ubstance which \. " .' plaintiff claims i. running into the river from this main, is not " . ,any i~du8trial waat. ~ich is incidental to defendant', fabricat- ing act~l~ at the Harrison plant. That operation produces two kinds of induatrial waste: spent acid, both nitric acid and sUl- ... ~ .~ ic . . W aci~ neither of which answers to the description of the ·~llutrng 8ubstance- which plaintiff contends is being discharged into the river. The other waste product is rolling solution which \ may have ro.!!ycharact5i'~s but it does not r~semb.1:eeither fuel oil or mineral oil. Depending upon the proces8 employed, this ;olltpS '9~ion,' after use, is .either ~e-9r:en or pink in color Defendant is not discharging either type of waste into the SUbject drainage system. The defendant does not use "fueloil in its plant: it employs gas as heatin~ fuel. *' 10. I am informed that from time to tillladuring . { the summer months, defft,pdopt,as a dust abatement measure, has -- ...... -..;;;;,;;;,;;;;:,;;,;.,;;;;; .. iiiJ. -~ oil upon the ' round in its plant area. Ho~ ever, r am alao informed that this practice has not been engaged in since the summer of 1969, and it certainly was not done during, my entire tenure with defendant.- '!'herefore, this practice, cer- taihly cannot account for the presence of an oily polluting sub- _tance at the outfall of the drainage main as late as January 1970. If it should become necessary to employ dust abatement measures. in the-fublre, defendant will take precautions not to spread any substance used for this purpose in the area of drains. 11. When defendant received the abovementioned no- .....:. tice from plaintiff in January 1970, I caused to be made a careful " ' sy.stemat~c review and examination of defendant's o~ation at its ~...', - 4 - TIERRA-B-015632 Harrison plant, with emphasis upon its method of handling po~sibl co~ta&i.nants. As.a result of this examination and revie'llthe fol ( . lowinq was disc~ered .and the indicated measures were taken: (a) It was discovered that some of defendant's ~ ployeas~",.--;"''';;;';';';';;'';''''''''''ioiioiOi~had been steam cleaning-mobile__.-;;;;,;;;,;;,;,,,;,;:~.quipme~t__ in the Vicinity of 80me manholes. While it WAS not known that these manholes are connected by lIleans~f laterals 1:0 the 'subject drainage -main, ther being o~er drainage .ystems in the complex, this practice was di8continued to prevent any pos8ibility that oil, removed from th equipment during the Cl.anin~ proces8, woul~ be Y{8h~d down the manholes and ultimately into this main. '(b) ~ directed that tighter control be exercised over,.pent acid discharge, notwithstanding that the claimed pol- $ lutant is not described as an acid. (c) It was discovered that 80me of defendant's em- I \. ployees wera dumping waste oil into a pit which had previously • contained a fuel storage tank and this pit was near a surface.~ drain. Although it Was not known that this drain connects to the -mentioneB drainage main, this oil dumping practice was stopped. Cd) It was found that a pump employed in a hood annealing.operation was discharging oil into a pit. !his dis- charge.. was ••aled off and the oil is now being collected in metal drums. 12. !he following other occupants of the complex use the SUbject drainage main through one or more laterals which • connect ~ the main from the portions of the 'complex which they oeeupy: , (a) Charles F. Guyon, Inc., which has 5 latexals that z:uninto the main. TIERRA-B-015633 (b) ~ele Bros. Trucking eo., Which uses 2 laterals. I (~ Azco Steel COmpany, Which has 1 lateral. (d) Gabest, Inc., which haa 1 lateral • • (e) Prince packaging Product., Inc., which alao has 1 lateral. .'• (f) ~.eph Supor Trucking Co., which bas 2 laterals. 13. It may well be that in addition ,to the 4 con- necting lateral. on defendant's lands and the 12 laterals men- tioned in the preceding paragraph, there are additional l~erals 'which other occupants of the complex have constructed and connect .. , ed to the SUbject drainage main. However, the 18 laterals speci- fically mentioned herein are the only ones shown on the maps available to this defendant and the only ones known to the de fen- dant. 14. In a~di~ion \0 the spe~ific measures mentioned ih paragraph 11, and since suit was instituted, Mr. Arthur Whinn, the Maintenance Superint,endent of defendant' s Harrison plant, in- , " stalled' filters in all of the knoWn laterals that run into the drainage main. This was done in an effort to locate the source of any contaminants that IIlighthaye been reaching the main, ~ereafter, and recently, defendan~ discovered a slight trace of ...... '~ _ .. an oily aubstance on one of the filters. This substance was '··•..l traced back $A a balement machine shop on defendant's premises, .' wherer defeMDnt fonDd that oil was dripping from a grinding ma- , " chine and was :nter arently connected to the men- tioned laton' up to this time, defendant had believed that this drain ran into a dry well storage area. Def~t,i&, presently at , work diverting this oil dripping away from this drain and expects to have this conditio~ correct~d in about a weak or less. 15. In addition, on May li, 1970, I met with re- TIERRA-B-015634 presentatives of SOllie of the other occupants of the complex .who make use of thia drainage system. At the time I explailled the' pro blem and recei~d' assurances from them that they will cooperate in preventing pollutants from entering the drainage system from• the premises they occupy. I have receiVed like as~urances from all but one of those other occupants who were not a~le to aend III repre~entatives to the "eeting. 'Th;..excepti'apWl:...PrincePack-, aging Products, Inc. I was not able to contact this company and- I am not certain that it is any 10nger actively engaged in busi- neas within the complex. ~6. I earnestly request that the court refrain' from entering a,~ndente lite injunction against the defendant. On 'the basis of the knowledge presently available to it, defendant haa taken all atepa within ita power to bring about an end to the , condition about which plaintiff complains. If that condition \ . ~ontinues despite defendantls efforts, it is because defendant, at present, does not know. what is causing the condition. Detec- tion of the cause is ex~remely difficult because up to the present, time plaintiff has not collected a sufficient amount. of the con- I taminant entering the river to permit its identification. If a pendent~ lite injunction Were entered, defendant, at present, would not know what more it could do to comply with it.

COamencing in about January 1970, the following... measures were taken by Crucible, Inc., to abate the flow of oil ~o the river from Crucible's premises: ea) 'lbe.,prohibition of steam cleaning of equipment in the.. neighborhood of uohole. that might connect to the drainage Bystem.

As a re8ul t of thue measures, which . were completed by about the su~er of 1970, I believe that no oil I enters the river through the drainage system from Crubilels pre- mises. mE GUYON LATERAL NO.1 6. Although crucible eliminated the emis- sion of oil from its own premises, thereafter samples of e~fluent taken at the river outfail continued to contain, at times, visible , quantities of oil. As a result Mr. Bradley conducted an investi- gati~n in which I partic:i.pated.'in areas of the SUbject industrial complex, occupied by the Third Party Defendants. This investiga- tion revealed that oil was entering the central main of the drain- \ age system through a lateral pipe which h.s been identified as euyon Lateral Bo. I in earlier proceedings had in this action. This lateral. a8 it is shown on a survey preViously exhibited to the Court, joins the central drainage main about ISO feet west of the easterly boundary line of the industrial complex and extends underground.. in a generally southerly direction beneath the proper- ty ~f the 7hird Party Defendant, Charles F. ~yon, Inc. .Other ~ undexvround pipes running beneath the lands of Guyon and other Third Party Defendants, tie in to this lateral. So far as we have been able to determine these. other ~1rd Party Defendants are • I!:rris & Sons Steel Co~ny, Harrison Warehouse Comp~ny and ~ Ribbon and carbon Manufaetnrlng 01:>. Inc. 7. We have 1n the past found oil at dif~ ferent points in theBe connecting pipes.and fairly consistently ...... , .. . . ~'tthe place Where the Guyon Ho. 1 lateral joins the central drainage main.' Extensive efforts, detailed in Mr. BraeUeyls af- ·11.'1 TIERRA-B-015647 ~.. -/ fidav1t, .were mad~by crucible to discover the Bource of:~is oil.. If the source' could be found it was thought that the oil • cODdition could have been eliminated at its Bource. However, the investigation detailed in Mr. Bradley's affidavit did not reveal the source. B. After corrective ~ ••ure. as described in Paragraph 4 above Were taken by crucible, the 801e remaining cause of oil pollution from within the industrial complex, to the best of my knOWledge, .is the oil which has been Been , Because Crucible had not succeeded in locating the Bource of this oil, the only other means of abating it was to plug the Guyon No. 1 lateral at the e ...... place where it joins the central drainage main. \ 9. After a Jluillber~t prior efforts to do 8 crucible installed a temporary plug in the Guyon No. I lateral on about November 30, 1970. This temporary plug consisted essentiall of a hard'rubber baloon inflated to about a 20 inch diameter to Which there is connected a ~OO foot tube with a stem valve at its end to permit the air in the baloon t.obe removed. A temporary rather.. than a permanent plug was used because Crucible d.aired to determine Whether cloaing the Guyon No. 1 lateral would cause any back-up of water or flooding in the complex. 10. ~ia plug remained in place until.Jan- • uary 7. 1971. While it was in place I saw no flooding in the com- plex; and received no reports of flooding from anyone there, not- Withstanding ~at during the first week in January 1971, there waa, on .•everal occasions, heavy precipitation in the..area in the form of rain and snow. l:~~.",ne the temporary plug was in place, :' ".~. . . J . samplea of effluent taken at the river ou~fall of the drainage TIERRA-B-015648 system, which samples I have .een, were clear of visible oil and :: i:' - L..- I believe that Mr. Bradley's analyses of these samples indicate the aame finding. "'U8, the- temporary closing of Guyon No.1 lateral, in conneclion with other corrective measures ~ompleted by Crucible, resulted in an acceptob1e effluent. ," .. 12. However, the temporary closing of this lateral is not the long term anawer to the oil problem. Tempor- ary plugs are relatively fragile and eventually break down~ On January', 1971, I was present When a representative of the.plain- tiff Commi8sioners took·a aample of the effluent. It appeared ...... oily. Thereafter, and .on the same day. I examined th~ Guyon No. I lateral and obaerved that the temporary plus placed there on Nov ber 24, 1970, had loo.ened and t~t wate~ was being discharged in- to the central drainage main from this lateral. It was too dark inside the drainage mai~. the place Where I made my ~amination. to det~rmine whether this water wa. oily, but the water which was . .~.. (.' discharging into the river at this time, was oily. 13. What.18 required is the permanent closure of the Guyon No. 1 lateral with a plug made of durable 'iI,- , materials that will not loosen or disintegrate. Such a permanent • plug would not have a release device upon it, as the air release device that was part of the temporary plug. orbissolution falls ahort of disco~aring what causes oil to enter the Guyon No. 1 la- r...... ~ral and the elimination of that cause. Crucible has expended • ~ • ,;. iI" ; • • ••• considerable time. effort and money attempting, Without Success. to discover the cause •. It can do nothing more except to install a permanent plug and it should be authorized to dQ ~o.

Plaintiff contends that oil has.ae- cumulated from the bank of the river at and near the outfall of i:hecentral drainage main and that this condition could be cor- rected. Representa~ives of Crucible and plaintiff have previous- ly discUssed methods of treating this a1tuation and it was sug- be :g,sted..... that the bank of the river in the mentioned area ahould covered in Bome manner with atones, san~, earth fill, or the like. Crucible undertook to investigate the feasibility and cost of work1 • of this ~nd and ia agreeable tQ going forward with it pro- vided that other Third party Defendants, inclUding the TOwn of B~~rison; ~ho make use of the central drainage system. should - -, . ~ ahare the cost. ... '" 15. Crucible received oral.estimates from 3 contractors for the described work. None of theae contractors would present flat figure estimates. All of them insiated upon TIERRA-B-015650 ...:~.;.;~:: i'.• proposed ~ spinell; would have been ~pproximately $44,000. I was not able to jUdge the approximate cost of the work on the .basis of the proposalsmade by the remaining 2 contractors. 16. Crucible has also d1ecussed with a fourth contractor. Joseph Nesta & Sons, two differen~ alternative \ methods of treating the condition of the bank of the river. It. believes that either of these methods would be feasible. Nesta .uggest~d 1ining the bank with bags containing mixtures of sand and cem~nt. This mixture would solidify When wet, and after so- lidification,' a like covering of sand filt could be placed on the \ banks. Alternatively, Nesto proposed lining the bank with large stones and filling in this 1inin9 with sand and gravel. Either of these methods, according to Nesto, would cost approximately $29,000. A"written estimate has been requested of Nesto several times but at present it has not ~en received. Nesto did not es- timate the time necessary to complete a project of this kind and 'iI. as best as I can judge, it would take 3 or more weeks, tide and weather permitting. It would not be feasible to commence this work until oil pollution from within the complex is permanently abated. " There ~s no 8ense in lining the bank of the river, if, thereafter,.. 8 oil'would come. out of the drainage system and would • be deposited on the"new covering materials. !bis means that a permanent correction of the condition found at the Guyon No. 1 lateral.should be accomplished before work on the bank of the river is undertaken. 17• ~e bank 0 f the river and the land TIERRA-B-015651 : ' . : .;' ·: . , .

Before work on the river hank ~~ go forward, it,will be necessary for Public ~ervice Electric & Gas COmpany to consent to such work and also to conlent to entry'upon its lands to perform that work. 'l'heconsent will have to cover the.. bringing of heavy, equipmen~materia1s and per- 80nnel Upon the prope~ty of this ltIird party Defendant. If such cOn8el)t is not forthcoming. the work on the bank of the river can- not'go forward. .COSTS 18. In addition to the approximate $20,000 verbal estimate quoted b¥ the Nesto COmpany, crucible has expende for labor costs for ,ork perfqrmed by its own personnel, in con- nection with the subject pollution problem, as of December 28, 1970, $4,251. ltIisexpense covers a total of 576 man hours de- voted by Crucible personnel, inclu~ing sppervisory labor, to the project., 401 1/2 llIanhours were devoted by Crucible to work per~ formed on its own premises and 174 1/2 man hours were devoted to work performed on the premises of other complex occupants.

Except for May 23, 24 and 2?, 1971, I expect to be out of the country throughout May. 1971 • .OIL 2. Pursuant to an order made herein by the Court on March 2, 1971, the Guyon No. 1 lateral was permanently closed on March 11,1971. This lateral had been previously identified, ,in '~ January 26, 1971 affidaVit. a8 the then 801e source of oil entering the subject central drainage main from the industrial complex Which the main serves. 3. In my opinion, the closure of the Guyon No. I lateral has resulted in the abateme~t of oil pollution from •, inside the complex. Since that lateral was plugged, 'no visible " oil was .een entering the central main from any other lateral. While, 80me oil, probably r••idual o~l, was visible at the river' outfall of the main for e short time after the plug was inserted, • I none has been observed there recently. ! 4. On April 19 and 20, 1971. silt was observed enterin the.liver from the outfall of the drainage main. I believe that .' tllb i. a favorable 8ign as far as abatement of oil pollution ',is concerned. ,5. Where an underground drainage system collects surface water, as'doe. the system involved in this case, it will usually collect silt, .s well, from the surface of the ground by '-'. drained the system. In the SUbject system, a probable .econdary 80urce of silt accumulation, is silt ca~riedinthe river ':,.:and.. ' deposited in the central main of the system by the ebb and .... . flow of the tide. Normally. this silt, which is not a polluting .'. " aubstance. gradually will be washed out of the drainaqe svst~m TIERRA-B-015660 and into the ri~ by. the water that passes through the.system. This has not happened in the Past,BO far 'a8 the sUbject system • i8 concerned, because the silt that has accumulated there was apparently IIlixedwith .oil that bound it to the interior of the central main. ~e rlcently observed movement of the silt indicates not only that oil is not entering the central main, but also, that silt which haa accumulated in the main has been or is in the process of being washed clean of oil. Before this move- Aent of silt was observed, it was anticipated that aceumulated .ilt in the drainage main, because it was infiltrated with oil, ~uld have to be removed at SOme·very considerable expense. However, recent movement of the .ilt indicates that this costly cleaning.proce.s may not be necessary. I recommend that the condition of the silt in the centr..l main):Je kept under observa- \ tion and that for the time being a jUdgment as to the necessity for cleaning of the main be Withheld. 6. The clo.ure~of the GUyon No. I lateral has had another beneficial effect. The oil residue on the bank of the river in the vicinity of the outf~~l of the central main has dimini.hed tremendously. In places on the bank where earth and •tones• were black with oil, I have observed brown mud and clean atones. This has resulted because no additional oil has been deposited on the bank and the action of the tides is cleaning away the'oil th{t was there from before. I believe that the oil. r.~idue on the ~nk will waeh away with the action of the tide8. However. it may be necessary to add a coating o~ sand to the bank if the tides do not accomplish an appropriate clean-up of the bank within a reasonable time. I reCOlllllendthat the bank 'condition be kept under future observation and that a ,judgment as TIERRA-B-015661 \. to the necessity for additional clean-up work there be withheld for the present ~. 7. In~rDli~tently, sample. of,effluent taken from the I . river outfall of the·.ystem, had been on the acid side (below . . the 5-6 PH range). Crucible sought to correct this condition by installing two baffles in the drainage main, which had the effect of creating two holding reservoirs, in which it was hO~d that acid would be diluted with water, to the end that acceptable PH readings would be obtained. This was done in the early part . .8. Thereafter, water samples taken at the out~.ll had the following PH analyses: DATE ZH.

For example, not always were rwe able to ~ontrol production operations on odd shifts. dumping or 'sludging of the effluent, if you wil~, did not Occur. These 'occasions were when line employees by-passed our dilution system- .and would discharge twenty-five or more gallons of fifteen percent acid directly into effluent channels.

Emergency and Remedial Response Division United States Environmental Protection Agency 290 Broadway, 19th Floor New York, New York 10007-1866 Re: Response to Request for Information Under 42 U.S.C. 9601, Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, Passaic River Study Area Dear Mr. Richman: Please accept this correspondence as the response of Coltec Industries Inc ("Coltec") to the USEPA's request for information pursuant to Section 104 of CERCLA pertaining to the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, Passaic River Study Area (the "Site"). Enclosed also please find the signed, notarized "Certi.ficationof Answers to Request for Information." please note that in addition to conducting a search for relevant documents and i.nterviewing former employees of Crucible Steel that worked at this facility, I have specifically requested that Crucible Materials Corporation ("CMC") conduct a similar investigation to determine if they have responsive information. (the corporate relationship between Crucible Steel, CMC and Coltec is addressed in response to question (I) below). As of the date of this letter, Coltec has not received a written response from CMC regarding the outcome of its investigation for responsive information. In preparing these responses, interviews were conducted with: Charles Kurcina who was Vice President and General Manager of the facility from December 1971 through May 1973 (current address: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - phone: (412) 643-4978) i Willard E. Soper, Jr. who was General Foreman of Heat Treat and held various other positions from June 1954 through May 1973 (current address: 104 Larned Road, Summit, New Jersey phone: (908) 277-4260. Additionally, contact was made with Alan Simon who was Manager, Technical Services at the facility from November 1948 through May 1973. Since the initial contact with Mr. Simon Coltec has been unable to reach Mr. Simon. A telephone interview will be scheduled and this response will be supplemented in the event that said interview reveals additional responsive information. 846200001 TIERRA-B-015668 Coltec responds to the information requests as follows: Question No.1 - This facility was operational in the early 1900's and eventually operated under the name Crucible Steel. Colt Industries lnc (now "Coltec") purchased Crucible Steel in 1968. This facility operated as one of the Crucible Steel Divisions of Coltec until this facility was closed in May of 1973. Coltec sold all interests in Crucible Steel to Crucible Materials Corporation in 1985. Question No. 2 (a) - No. (b) - No. Question No. 3 Of the materials listed in Question 3, the Crucible Steel Facility at 1000 South Fourth Street used the following: (a) Chromium: to the extent that it was a constituent in the steel that was manufactured at the facility. (b) Nickel: to the extent that it was a constituent in the steel that was manufactured at the facility. (c) Molten lead was used in quenching baths as part of the steel manufacturing process. Based upon current knowledge, Crucible did not use any of the other materials listed in Question 3 at this facility. Question No. 4 (a) - Molten lead was used in quenching baths as part of the steel manufacturing process. Nickel and chromium were constituents of the steel (See 3{a) and (b) above). (b) (i) See above. (ii) During the quenching process lead would vaporize and as the vapors cooled lead oxide would be formed. The lead oxide was disposed of as solid waste (plant trash) off-site. (iii) Some of the steel would go through acid treatment or pickling which would result in some dissolution of chrome, iron and nickel. The amount of chrome. iron and nickel which dissolved during the acid treatment/pickling process was minute in quantity. Following the acid treatment/pickling process the steel was run through a water rinse phase. During the water rinse phase small quantities of the chrome, iron and nickel dissolved during the acid treatment/pickling phase may have been released into the rinse water. It is believed that the rinse water was periodically discharged to the sanitary sewer system. Up until 2 846200002 TIERRA-B-015669 approximately 1970 the rinsewater was discharged to the sanitary sewer with no neutralization. After approximately 1970 until facility closure the rinsewater was neutralized prior to discharge. The facility employees interviewed had no specific knowledge regarding disposal of the liquids in the acid treatment/pickling baths. Question No. 5 - (a) Maintenance Department - Charley Menzo, Arthur Wynn (no current addresses available for these employees) . (b) None recalled. (c) None recalled. However raw acids were stored in stainless steel tanks at the facility. (i) None recalled (no drums) (ii) See (5) (c)(i) above. (d) As indicated above, neutralization of rinse water was started in approximately 1970, and continued until the facility was closed in May 1973. Question No. 6 (a) (i) It is believed that the wastewater went to a sanitary sewer system, but the Passaic River Commission raised questions in the late 1960's or in 1970 whether the discharge went directly to the Passaic River. No records regarding these allegations have been located. (ii) Yes, after 1970 (See above). (iii) See above. (iv) None available. (b)(i), (ii) See 6 (a)(il above. (c) (i) The employees interviewed have no recollection. (ii)( (Hi) ( (iv) See (c)Ii) above. (d) No diagrams are available. (e) See above, no other information available. As indicated above, the Passaic River Commission may have files responsive to this question. 3 846200003 TIERRA-B-015670 Question No.7 (a) Unable to estimate, no records available. (b) Unknown. (e) No records available. As indicated above, the Passaic River Commission may have files responsive to this question. Question No. a (a) No, none recalled. (b) None available. Question No. 9 (a) No flooding is known to have occurred. Question No. 10 - No available records. As indicated above, the Passaic River Commission may have files responsive to this question. Question No. 11 - No such documents have been located. Question No. 12 (a) Mr. Soper recalls that some air sampling was conducted, but no results are available. No other sampling is known to have occurred. Question No. 13 (a) - See introductory paragraph and response to question (i) above. Upon closure of the facility it was sold to Spiegel Trucking, Inc. of Harrison, New Jersey. This transaction took place in March 1974. Documentation regarding this transaction has just been received from off-site storage. This response will be supplemented in the event that review of said documents reveals additional responsive information. Question No. 14 (a) Coltee Industries Inc {bl John W.

REGION 2 290 BROADWAY NEW YORK, NY 10007-1866 SEP 1 5 200.3 GENERAL NOTICE LETTER CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED John Guffey, President Coltee Industries, Inc. 3 Coliseum Centre 2550 West Tyvola Road Charlotte, North Carolina 28217 RE: Diamond Alkali Superfund Site Notice of Potential Liability for Response Actions in the Lower Passaic River, New Jersey Dear Mr. Guffey: The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is charged with responding to the release and/or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants into the environment and with enforcement responsibilities under the Compn:hensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. §960 I et~. Accordingly, EPA is seeking your cooperation in an innovative approach to environmental remediation and restoration activities for the Lower Passaic River. EPA has documented the release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants into the six-mile stretch of the river, known as the Passaic River Study Area, which is part of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site ("Site") located in Newark, New Jersey. Based on the results of previous CERCLA remedial investigation activities and other environmental studies, including a recormaissance study of the Passaic River conducted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE"), EPA has further determined that contaminated sediments and other potential sources of hazardous substances exist along the entire 17-mile tidal reach of the Lower Passaic River. Thus, EP A has decided to expand the Study to include the areal extent of contamination to which hazardous substances from the six-mile stretch were transported; and those sources from which hazardous substances outside the six-mile stretch have come to be located within the expanded Study Area. By this letter, EPA is notifying Coltee Industries, Inc. ("Coltee") of its potential liability relating to the Site pursuant to Section 107(a) ofCERCLA, 42 V.S.C. §9607(a). Under CERCLA, potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") include current and past owners of a facility, as well as persons who arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at the Site, or the transport of hazardous substances to the Site. lntemet Address (URL) • http://www.epa.gov 851660001 RecycIedIRec~c"bl •• Printed with v.~.tabl. 011Baud Inluoon Reevelecl Pap;lr (MInimum 50% Poe\Co",UIIItI' C(NJ1ionU TIERRA-B-015692 In recognition of our complementary roles, EPA has formed a partnership with USACE and the New Jersey Department of Transportation-Office of Maritime Resources ("OMR") ["the governmental partnership"] to identitYand to address water quality improvement, remediation, and restoration opportunities in the 17-mile Lower Passaic River. This governmental partnership is consistent with a national Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") executed on July 2, 2002 between EPA and USACE. This MOU calls for the two agencies to cooperate, where appropriate, on envirorunental remediation apd restoration of degraded urban rivers and related resources. In agreeing to implement the MOU, the EPA and USACE will use their existing statutory and regulatory authorities in a coordinated manner. These authorities for EPA include CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The USACE's authority stems from the Water Resources Development Act ("WRDA"). WRDA allows for the use of some federal funds to pay for a portion of the USACE's approved projects related to ecosystem restoration. For the first phase of the Lower Passaic River Project, the governmental partners are proceeding with an integrated five- to seven-year study to determine an appropriate remediation and restoration plan for the river. The study will involve investigation of envirorunental impacts and pollution sources, as well as evaluation of alternative actions, leading to recommendations of environmental remediation and restoration activities. This study is being conducted by EPA under the authority of CERCLA and by USACE and OMR, as local sponsor, under WRDA. EPA, USACE, and OMR are coordinating with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Federal and State Natural Resource Trustee agencies. EPA, USACE, and OMR estimate that the study will cost approximately $20 million, with the WRDA and CERCLA shares being about $10 million each. EPA will be seeking its share of the costs of the study from PRPs. Based on information that EPA evaluated during the course of its investigation of the Site, EPA believes that hazardous substances were being released from the former Crucible Steel facility located at 1000 South Fourth Street in Harrison, New Jersey, into the Lower Passaic River. Hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants released from the facility into the river present a risk to the environment and the humans who may ingest contaminated fish and shellfish. Therefore, Coltec may be potentially liable for response costs which the government may incur relating to the study of the Lower Passaic River. In addition, responsible parties may be required to pay damages for injury to, destruction of, or loss ofnat.ural resources, including the cost of assessing such damages. Enclosed is a list of the other PRPs who have received Notice letters. This list represents EPA's findings on the identities ofPRPs to date. We are continuing efforts to locate additional PRPs who have released hazardous substances, directly or indirectly, into the Passaic River. Inclusion on, or exclusion from, the list does not constitute a final determination by EPA concerning the liability of any party for the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. Be advised that notice of your potential liability at the Site is being forwllrded to all parties on this list. We request that you consider becoming a "cooperating party" for the Lower Passaic River 851660002 TIERRA-B-015693 Project. As a cooperating party, you, along with many other such parties, will be expected to fund EPA's share of the study costs. Upon completion of the study, it is expected that CERCLA . and WRDA processes will be used to identifYthe required remediation and restoration programs, as well as the assignment of remediation and restoration costs. At this time, the commitments of the cooperating parties will apply only to the study. For those who choose not to cooperate, EPA may apply the CERCLA enforcement process, pursuant to Sections 106 (a) and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §9606(a) and §9607(a) and other laws. Pursuant to CERCLA Section 113(k), EPA must establish an administrative record that contains documents that form the basis of EPA's decision on the selection of a response action for a site. The administrative record files, which contain the documents related to the response action selected for this Site are located at EPA's Region 2 office (290 Broadway, New York) on the ISIb floor. You may call the Records Center at (212) 637~4308 to make an appointment to view the administrative record for the Lower Passaic River Project. EPA will be holding a meeting with all PRPs on October 29,2003 at 10:00 AM in Conference Room 27A at the Region 2 office. At that meeting, EPA will provide information about the actions taken to date in the Lower Passaic River, as well as plans for future activities. After the presentation, PRPs will be given the opportunity to caucus, and EPA will return to answer any questions that might be generated during the private session. Please be advised that due to increased security measures, all visitors need to be registered with the security desk in the lobby in order to gain entry to the office. In order to ensure a smooth arrival, you will need to provide EPA with a list of attendees no later than October 15,2003. EPA recommends that the cooperating parties select a steering committee to represent the group's interest as soon as possible, since EPA expects a funding commitment for the financing of the CERCLA share of the $20 million study by mid-November 2003. Ifyou wish to discuss this further, please contact Ms. Alice Yeh, Remedial Project Manager, at (212) 637-4427 or Ms. Kedari Reddy, Assistant Regional Counsel, at (212) 637-3106. Please note that all communications from attorneys should be directed to Ms. Reddy. Sincerely yours, George Pavlou, Director Emergency and Remedial Response Division Enclosure cc: John R. Mayo, Esq.

A small section of the railroad siding which runs through the Fabco leasehold portion of the site Was identified as a potential area at environmental concern due to the presence'of stained soil and asphalt pavement. T~e railroad ties along the siding are . , Covered with asphalt paving. However, the pavinq in an "'r.a approximat.ly S teet wide by 15 teet long was found to b. in a - t deteriorated condition and staining was observed in soils betw•• n the tracks. To r ••• ~Hat. this ar.a, the stain.d SOilS/hcad .. b.tw •• n the railroad ti •• waa excavated on March 2, 1990.

The lean-to was also used to store dry materials such as metal scaffolding. This are. was identifi,d as II potential are. of enviro~ental concern due to the pre.ence of stained sedt.ent.. The concrete tloor was in good cond~tlon and the stained sedi.ents were confined to the concrete surface. To r•••dlate this area, the stained .edi.ents were removed trom the concrete pad on March 2, 1990. The stained sedi••nts, . . approximately 0.25 cubic yards were stockpiled on-site with the soils excavated from the railroad trac~, ...pled, and analyzed tor waste classification. The stockpiled soil. will b. transported to Chem-Met S.rvice. for dispo.al as • hazardous wast. which b due to the presence of 12.8 pp. EP Tax lead. caple. ot the waste. classification analy... are included in App.ndix D. copies of the waste .anifest will ba forwarded to the NJDEP upon receipt.

A PSUG letter concluding le.. than 50 ppa PCB cont.nt and dated April 3, 1990, can be found in ,Appendix E. UUO BJ,MT OBIT A sandblasting operation va. located in a buildlnq, .ituated at the southvut corner of the lea.ehold pro~rty. steel pipe v•• sandbluted. in the buildlnq to n1love rust and scala prior to 13 ft31I2/GUPOOl TIERRA-B-015716 fabrication. To detetlline the potential contaminants in the sandblast grit, samples Were collected, composited, and submitted (or laboratory analysis. SAMPLE COLLECTIOtl On February 13, 1989, samples of the sandblast qrit Were- collected. A composite sample, representative of the sandblast grit to be disposed, of waE slJbmitted to I~ Laboratories for analysis. The composite sample Was analyzed for the presence of PCBs, t.P. Tox Hetals, cyanide, SUlfide, ~nd petroleum hydrocarbon •• ANALYTICAL RESULTS The analytical results revealed no detectable concentration. of PCBs, E.P. Tox Hetals, cyanide, or sulfid.. PetroleWl hydrocarbons were detected at a concentration of 2,400 ppa. To facilitate the decollllllissioninqof the Fabco leasehold the sandblast grit was scraped up on October 31, 1989 and Noveaber 1, 1989 and stockpiled on-site pending waete classification ahaly.... Analys.s indicated that the sand bl••t grit va. non-hazardous. The stockpiled soil Was tranlported oft-aite tor disposal at Breitenstin. Landtill in Wayn.6bU~, Obi~ on Deceaber 11 and 12, 1990. Copies ot the wast. classitication analys.s and non-hazardous waste manifests are inclUded in AppendixF. BUILDING PEcoKMISSIONING The Site Evaluation Subai.sion (SES) subaitted to the Department on Pebruary 22, 1990 inclUded a coaprehensive inventory ot the hazardous w.ate./aater1als/substanc.. identitied within the l.asehold property.

December, 1969 to September 1971 (~. cuccinelloi W. Flem- ~ng and J. Co ello) A yellowish oily material flowed into the Passaic River from a large culvert owned by this company. This company claimed that a number of other companies leased land on an industrial tract owned by Crucible Steel Com- pany, and the polluting material was not emanating from Crucible Steel itself, but from one of the other tenants, and therefore, the Crucible Steel Company would not be liable. The Commissioners maintained that since the cul- vert from which this material discharged into the Pas- saic River was owned by Crucible Steel Company, Cruci- ble Steel Company was liable for any polluting materi- al emanating from the culvert. Since there seemed to .be a difference of opinion concerning liability, the Commissioners instituted a suit against Crucible Steel Company. An Order to Sho~ Cause was originally returna- .ble on May IS, 1970, but was postponed to July 17, 1970, and continued to September 18, 1970. On September 18, 1970, Crucible reported they had eliminated all of the pollution emanating within their property and had traced oil to other users of the sew- er. They requested additional time to check suspected oil sources on the Charles F. Guyon and the Harris and Sons Steel Companies, and perhaps other parties. Judge Lynch signed a Civil Action order, bringing in Charles F. Guyon, Inc., Miele Brothers Trucking Com- pany, Aszo Steel Company, Gabest, Inc., Prince Packag- ing Products, Inc., Joseph Supor Trucking Company., Rose Ribbon and Carbon Mfg. Co., Inc. (corporations), and Hiles A. Galin. On October 23, 1970, progress reports were sub- mit~ed and the Commissioners stated that the volume of the pollution had decreased. Crucible was ordered to submit a detailed plan for locating and halting the re- maining pollution to Mr. Lubetkin and they were to .return to court and report on November 20, 1970. Since work was progressing, the November 20 hearing was post- poned to December 4, then ~o February 11, 1971. On February 11, Crucible reported to the court that it had loca~ed the source of pollution, but since it was from a line coming from other property, Crucible wanted permission of the Court to seal the line. The Court directed ~e line to be.sealed within 30 days, TIERRA-B-015777 Page 74 -Violation & Eli'mination -' Crucible Steel Co.

Whinn, and confirmed his conversation "by a letter dated ~rch 23, requesting that the consultant be immediately in- formed, so he could locate and halt this acid pollution. No reply was received, so Mr. Lubetkin wrote again on April 12, informing them that acid was again detected on AprilS. The Commissioners received a.letter dated April 13, from Mr. W. Bradley, stating they have located the source of 4pid and setting forth a pre-treatment program to divert this material from the river to the sanitary sewer. The time table showed this will be completed shortly after July 15, 1971. Mr. Lubetkin replied on April 20, 1971, giving neutralization parameters and ~equesting residual oil be cleared from the sewer. Observation of their outlet showed that the 011 was being cleaned from the banks, slowly, by tidal action, and that the silt from the sewer had a cleaner look ( brown not oily black). However, a sample of their discharge'on May 18, contained a C. o. D. of 174 ml/lJ therefore, Mr. Lubetkin wrote to them on Hay 26, concerning this and requested an up-tO-date progress report on what has been accomplished. On June 1, 1971, Mr. Bradley wrote -to HI: 'Lubetkin reporting that the condition of the river banks continues to improve and they feel, they have solved the oil problem. -A pH meter had been ordered and a pretreatment acid holding reservoir to the sanitary sewer was completed. On June 18, HI. Lubetkin wrote to Crucible that he had observed a small oil slick at 1:15 P. M. and showed the slick to Mr. Art Whinn. Mr. Whinn informed him that an in- ternal inspection had been scheduled for July 1. On June 28, TIERRA-B-015778 Page 75 crucible Steel Company continued Mr.- Lamborn, Crucible Manager, wrote to Mr. Lubetkin, informing him of an internal check scheduled for July 1. Unfortunately, due to the Public Hearing on Bonds on that date, Lubetkin .', ,:'", .. Mr. was unable to check this himself, but was represented by Mr. L. euccinel10 •. On July 16, Judge Lynch advised that a pretrial conference was being scheduled for September 27. On July 20, Mr. Lubetkin inspected the inside of the sewer with representatives of Crucible. A slight oily film was visi- ble at the mouth, but could not be seen further in the sewer. Therefore, either Crucible's contention that the oil comes from the silt, near the mouth of the sewer, purging itself of old oil was true, or the lack of sufficient light prevented us from '...... seeing the slight sheen indicating the oil. ouring August, the discharge was very good, On occassion spots of oil could be seen leaving the outlet, but a study of the water action did reveal, that, as the tide came in, spots of oil from the river, did, in fact, enter the Crucible out- let, and it appeared to be this extremely small amount of oil that is visible leaving the outlet as the tide went out. During August and September, no pollution could be detect- ed. The outlet area was a mess from the rubble of the storm Doria, but the bank was clean of oil , within the tidal reach., AS of the end of S~ptember, 1971, this violation is consider- ed eliminated An automatic pH meter had been installed at the outfall to m~nitor the discharge to the river. Also, automatic neu- tralizing equipment was installed at their pretreatment tank to treat the discharge to the sanitary sewer. At the end of December, the pH meter mal-functionpd and had to be sent back to the factory for repairs. Mr. Lamborn promised to bUy a spare so that 1n the Luture, a mal-functioning unit would be replaced while it is being re- paired.

Suite 10S . Parsippany, NJ 07054 RE: Diamond Alkali Superfund Site Notice of Potential Liability for Response Actions in the Lower Passaic River Study Area, New Jersey Dear Ms. O'DriscoJl-Levy: . The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EP An) is charged with responding to the release and/or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants into the environment and with enforcement responsibilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. §9601 et~. Accordingly, EP A is seeking your cooperation in an innovative approach to enviromnental remediation and restoration activities for the Lower Passaic River. EPA has documented the release or threatened release ofhazardou$ substances, pollutants and contaminants into the six-mile stretch aftIle river, known as the Passaic River Study Area, which is part of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site ("Site") located in Newark, New Jersey. Based on the results of previous CERCLA remedial investigation activities and other environmental studies, including a reconnaissance study of the Passaic River conducted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers ("US ACE"), EPA has further detennined that contaminated sediments and other potential sources of hazardous substances exist along the entire 17-mile tidal reach of the Lower Passaic River. Thus, EPA has decided to expand the area of study to include the entire Lower Passaic River and its tributaries from Dundee Dam to Newark Bay ("Lower Passaic River Study Area"). . By this letter, EP A is notifying TevaI Corporation (''Tcval'') of its potentialliabiIity relating to the Site pursuant to Section 107(a) ofCERCLA, 42 V.S.C. §9607(a). Under CERCLA, potentially responsible partjes C"PRPs") include CUITentand past owners of a facility. as well as Internet Address (URL). http://ww'IN.$p$,gov Recycled/Recyclable • Printed wltl\ Vegebb'o 011 Baaed Ink!!, on Recycled P"P'Cr (Minimum 50% POSct(;OrlSumer contel'lt) TIERRA-B-015781 AUG-29-2008 11:55 USEPA R2 ORC 1 212 637 3096 P.003 persons who arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at the Site, or the transport of hazardous substances to the Site. In recognition of our complementary roles. EPA has formed a partnership with USACE and the New Jersey Department of Transportation-Office of Maritime Resources ("OMR.") [..the governmental partnership"] to identify and to address water quality improvement, remediation, and restoration opportunities in the 17-mile Lower Passaic River. This govemmental partnership is consisteI1t with a national Memorandum of Understanding C"MOU") executed on July 2, 2002 between EPA and USACE. This MOU calls for the two agencies to cooperate. where appropriate. on environmental remediation and restoration of degraded urban rivers and related resources. In agreeing to implement the MOU~ the EPA and USACE will use their existing statutory and regulatory authorities in a coordinated manner. These authorities for EPA include CERCLA. the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The USACE's authority stems from the Water Resources Development Act ("WRDA"). WRDA allOWSfor the use of some federal funds to pay for a portion of the USACE's approved proj ects related to ecosystem restoration .. For the first phase of the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project, the governmental partners are proceeding with an integrated five· to seven-year study to determine an appropriate remediation and restoration plan for the river. The study will involve investigation of environmental impacts and pollution sources. as well as evaluation of tlltemative actions, leading to recommendations of environmental remediation and restoration activities. This study is being conducted by EPA under the authority ofCERCLA and by USACE and OMR, as local sponsor, under WRDA. EPA, US ACE, and OMR arc attempting to coordinate with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Federal and State Natural Resource Trustee agencies. EPA, USACE. and OMR estimate that the study will cost approximately $20 million, with the WRDA and CERCLA shares being about $10 million each. EPA is seeking its share of the costs of the study from PRPs. Based on information that EPA evaluated during the course of its investigation of the Site, EPA believes that hazardous substances were being released from Teval's facility located at 900-1000 South 4lb Street (aka Frank E. Rodgers Blvd.) in Harrison, New Jersey, into the Lower Passaic River Study Area. Hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants released from the facility into the river present a risk to the environment and the humans who may ingest contaminated fish and shellfish. Therefore, Teval may be potentially liable for response costs which the government may incur relating to the study of the Lower Passaic River. In addition, responsible parties may be required to'pay damages for injury to, destmction of, or loss of natural resources, including the cost of assessing such damages. EPA is aware that the financial ability of some PRPs to contribute toward the payment of response costs at the Site may be substantially limited. If you believe, and can document, that you fall within that category, please infonn Ms. Reddy and Mr. Hyatt at the addresses identified in this letter. You will be asked to submit financial records including business and, possibly, pprsonal federal income tax returns as well as audited financial statements to substantiate such a claim. TIERRA-B-015782 AUG-29-2008 11:66 USEPA R2 ORe 1 212 637 3096 P.004 Please note that't because EPA has a potential claim against you, you must include EPA as a creditor if you file for bankruptcy. You are also requested to preserve and retain any documents now in your Company's or its agents' possession or control, that relate in any manner to your facility or the Site or to the liability of any person under CERCLA for response actions or response costs at or in connection with the facJ]ity or the Site, regardless of any corporate document retention policy to the contrary. Enclosed is a liSt of the other PRPs who have received Notice letters. This list represents EP A's findings on the identities ofPRPs to date. We are continuing efforts to locate additional PRPs who have released hazardous substances, directly or indirectly, into the Lower Passaic River Study Area. Exclusion from the list does not constitute a final determination by EPA concerning the liability of any party for the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. Be advised that notice of your potential liability at the Site may be forwarded to all parties on this list as well as to the Natural Resource Trustees. We request that you become a "cooperating party" for the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project As a cooperating party, you, along with many other such parties, will be expected to fund EPA's share of the stud.y costs. Upon completion of the. study, it is expected that CERCLA and WRDA processes will be used to identify the required remediation and restoration programs. as well as the assignment of remediation and restoration costs. At this time, the commitments of the cooperating parties will apply only to the study. For those who choose not to cooperate, EPA may apply the CERCLA enforcement process. pursuant to Sections 106(a) and l07(a) of CERCLA. 42 U.S.C. §9606(a) and §9607(a) and other laws. You may become a cooperating party by participating in the Cooperating Parties Group ("Group") that has already formed to.provide EPA's funding for the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project. This cooperative response is embodied in an Administrative Order on Consent ("ADC"). a copy of which can be obtained at the following web address: www.ourpassaic.orglhome/aoc.pdf.
