B.F. Goodnch Coi-poration Communin' Involvement Plan Page 3 November 201 Section 1.0 Overview of the C'ommunitv Involvement Plan
The EPA developed this Community Involvement Plan (CTP) to tacilitate two-way
communication between the community suirounding the B. F. Goodrich Coiporation
Superfund Site (Site) and the EPA and to encourage community involvement in Site
remediation activities. The EPA will utilize the community involvement activities
outlined in this phin to inlbnn area residents about the Site iind provide opportunities for
community involvement.
This CTP addresses the B. F. Goodrich Corporation Superfund Site's relationship to the
community and the EP.A (Section 2.0). provides a description of the community
(Section 3.0). presents the EP.A's community involvement progmm (Section 4.0). iind
provides a listing of resources available (.Appendices). Tlie EP.A drew upon several
inlbnnation sources to develop this plan, including community interviews and Site files.
The EP.A's Regional Office will oversee the implementation of the community
involvement activities outlined in this Plan.
B.F. Goodnch Coi-poration Communin' Involvement Plan Page 4 November 201 2.1 Site History
The Site is located in Cah ert Cit>. Kentuckx. and is bordered on the north b\ the Tennessee Rix er. on the south b\ Kentuckx Highwax 1523. on the west bx the Air Products facilitx. and on the east bx Airco Superfund Site. The Site is located within an industrial area: howex er. a human population exists w ithin 2.5 miles of the Site.
The B.F. Goodrich Companx began operating at the Site in 1953 and conducted x arious chemical manufacturing operations at the Site until 2001. On March 1. 1990. Westlake Monomers Corporation acquired the assets and properties of The B.F. Goodrich Companx's VCM Plant, which is generallx located on the western portion of the Site. Westlake Monomers Corporation began operating the VCM Plant shortlx thereafter. At that time. The B.F. Goodrich Companx continued to operate the ethx lene plant, the chlorine plant, the Carbopol plant, and the Telene plant. On Julx 16. 1997. Westlake Monomers Corporation acquired additional assets and properties from The B.F. Goodrich Companx. which are generallx referred to as the CA&O Plant, and Westlake Monomers Corporation began operating the CA&O Plant. The CA&O Plant propertx includes the ethx lene and chlorine facilities, associated utilities, and the portion of the Site known as the Barge Slip Ai*ea.
Actix ities through manx years at the Site hax e resulted in the release of hazardous substances to the air. soil, surface water and groundw ater. Releases of hazardous substances hax e been documented at the Site, including, but not limited to. ethx lene dichloride (EDC). benzene and other hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater. Dissolx ed-phase contaminants hax e been documented at x arious locations. Non-aqueous phase liquid has also been documented at x arious locations at the Site indicating the presence of concentrated source material or "principal threat xvaste" defined bx the EPA. The Site xvas listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. At the time of the NPL listing, the scope of the response at the B.E. Goodrich Superfund Site included a one-acre industrial landfill xvhich had been in operation from 1965 to 1973. The description of the Site (release) at the time of listing xvas based on infonnation ax ailable at that time.
The land fill propertx is currentlx oxxned bx Polx One Corporation and xxas formerlx oxx ned bx Goodrich Corporation. Releases of hazardous substances to the Tennessee Rix er xxere documented, and EDC xxas detected abox e drinking xxater standards in the Paducah. Kentuckx . drinking-xxater intake from the Tennessee Rix er in the earlx -1980s. On Nox ember 27. 1985. an Administratix e Order on Consent (AOC) xxas entered betxxeen the EPA and the BOC Group (formerlx AIRCO) and The B.E. Goodrich Companx to conduct a Remedial Inx estigation Eeasibilitx Studx (RI ES) for a portion the Site and the AIRCO Superfund Site. A Record of Decision ("ROD") xxas issued for a portion of the Site in 1988. The United States. Linde and The B.E. Goodrich Companx entered into a Consent Decree (CD) in 1992 to conduct the Remedial Design Remedial Action (" RD RA") for a portion of the Site.
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 5 November 201 Through the \ ears. the description of the Site has changed as additional information was gathered on the sources and the extent of contamination through Fi\ e Year re\ iews conducted b\ the EPA and with additional in\ estigations to define the extent of contamination. A Second Fi\ e Year Re\ iew was conducted in 2006 and concluded that the remed\ was protecti\ e in the short tenn. but additional actions were needed to ensure that the remed\ was protecti\ e in the long term. The EPA made a determination that because the remed\ was not protecti\ e in the long term, im estigations into the extent of contamination needed to be conducted. Therefore, on August 28. 2008. Goodrich Corporation and Poh One Corporation entered into the Administrati\ e Settlement Agreement for focused Remedial In\ estigation FeasibiliU Stud\ w ith EPA to conduct and finance a "focused" RI FS and the scope of the response at the B.F. Goodrich Superfund Site encompassed approximateh 2 acres and included the aerial extent of contamination from the B.F. Goodrich Superfund Site and the area of SWMU 3 which was subject to the RCRA pennit administered b\ KYDEP.
On May 22. 2009. the State requested that EPA expand its response under CERCLA to include contiimination at the portion of the Site fonnerly addressed pursiuint to RCR.A through the CERCL.A program. On May 29. 2009. EP.A concuiTed w ith this request. .As a result, the iu*ea of property subject to CERCL.A response activities now includes not only the approximately 2 acres of the industrial landfill iind bum pits, but also the cuiTcnt operating facilities that have been subject to RCR.A and HSW.A pemlits first issued to Tlie B.F. Goodrich Compiiny in 1989. as well as. but not limited to. the aerial exient of the contamination. The Site includes properties cuiTcntly owned by Westlake Vinyls. Inc.. Cymetech EEC. Lubrizol Coiporation which generally comprises the operating portion of the facility fonnerly owned and operated by The B.F. Goodrich Company and the property cuiTcntly owned by PolyOne Coiporation where CERCL.A response activities have been conducted. Tlie Site also includes the areal exient of contamination resulting from the migration of haziu'dous substances released from the Site.
In 2010. the EP.A expanded the above-referenced "focused" RI FS and entered into an agreement with Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) to conduct an "expanded" RI FS. PRP Goodrich Coiporation. (formerly The B.F. Goodrich Compiiny). a New York coiporation. is the fonner owner iind fonner operator of the Site, and fonner owner and fonner operator of the adjacent RCR.A facility property at the time of disposal. PRP. PolyOne Coiporation. iin Ohio coiporation (fonnerly Geon Company), is the current owner of a portion of the Site. PolyOne Coiporation did not conduct manufacturing operations at the Site. PRP Westhike Vinyls. Inc., a Delaware coiporation. is the cuiTcnt owner of a portion of the Site. Westlake Vinyls. Inc., has never owned or operated the landfill portion of the Site located on the eastern portion of the Site.
CAmetech EEC. a Delaware corporation, is the cuiTcnt owner of a portion of the Site iind represents that it is a bona fide prospective purchaser ("BFPP"). .Additionally. Lubrizol Coiporation. iiii Ohio coiporation. is the cuiTent owner of a portion of the Site iind also represents itself as a BFPP. These entities iu*e not participants in the RI FS.
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 6 November 201 More iiilbmiation on the operational and release history for the Site can be found in the 1988 ROD and the 2001 and the 2006 Five Year Reviews which can be found in the Administrative Record.
2.2 Site Description/Location
Tlie 260-acre B. F. Goodrich Corporation Superfund Site is located along Kentucky Highway 1523. one-mile noilhea.st of Calvert City in western Kentucky. Calvert City is a small town of approximately 3.000 people. With the diimming of the river in 1944 and introduction of a reliable source of electricity. 16 industrial phints have developed along the river in the vicinity of Calvert City. Beyond the city and industrial developments, the land is generally rural iind agricultural. The Site has a mile-long shore line along the river. .At the Site, the river is approximately 1200 -feet wide. Tlie facility experiences significiint fluctuations in river flow and river elevation due to flooding.
Tliroughout the years B. F. Goodrich sold the property and the facilities to diflerent companies. Tlie chemical manutacturing businesses operating at the Site include Westlake Vinyls Incoiporated. Lubrizol Corporation and Cymetech. LLC. Tlie larger iu*ea suiTounding the Site is rural and agricultural. The Site is cuirently fenced. .At one point during Goodrich's ownership. CVOCs migrated into the river iind were detected over 20 miles downstream in the City of Paduciili's water intake. This led to the installation of a network of groundwater pumping wells along the south bank of the river to capture groundwater before it could migrate to the river. During this general time period. N.APL contaminated waste was removed from the floodplain ponds and placed in an onsite landfill. Tlie pond closures and pumping wells were veiy eflective in reducing contaminant levels in the City of Paduciili water intake.
.A plume of groundwater contamination still exiends beneath the river iind is upwelling into the river. However, due to the hu'ge size of the river, the contaminated groundwater rapidly mixes with the river water such that little contamination has been observed in the river water. In coordination with the Kentucky DepiU'tment of Environment Protection (KDEP). the EP.A began an eflbrt in 2006 to investigate the larger exient of contamination at the Site.
Concuirent with the EP.A's work, the KDEP was also working with the fonner and cuirent owner operators to address contiimination at the Site through a Resource Conservation Recoveiy .Act (RCR.A) Corrective .Action Pennit. .As this work begiin to overlap with the EP.A work, and because of enforcement issues, the EP.A and the KDEP agreed in 2009 to expiind the scope of the CERCL.A response to also include areas of contamination fonnerly pursued through RCR.A.
.Although the pumping wells located along the river are estimated to have collected 11.000.000 pounds of chemicals from the Site at this time, the EP.A estimates that up to 3.500.000 cubic viU'ds of soil beneath the facilitv is contaminated with N.APL. Tliis mass
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 7 November 201 of contaminated soil serves as a reservoir of contaminants that pose a long-term source of contamination to the groundwater beneath the BFG site and the adjacent river.
As a result of the previous cleanup work required by the KDEP, a series of pumping wells intercept nearly all of the flow prior to it entering the river. However, prior to the installation of the wells, NAPL and contaminated groundwater migrated beneath the river. Also, the contaminated groundwater still discharging to the river poses a significant risk to human health and the environment.
The EPA is conducting an investigation to identify additional sources of contamination which remain at the Site. The EPA and KDEP seek to determine if the PRPs short-term and long-term cleanup actions are required. The area now being addressed through Superfund action covers approximately 200 acres of controlled access. By treating and monitoring ground water and undertaking Five-Year Reviews, the EPA, KDEP and PRPs continue to work to protect people and the environment from Site contamination.

B.F. Goodrich Corporation Community Involvement Plan Page 9 November 2017 2.3 Site Inspections and Cleanup Activities
Tlie Site was placed on the EPA Superfiind National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. The eastern portion of the Site shares a border with the Airco Superfund site (the "Airco Site"). Because of the Sites* sluu'ed history and location. PRPs implemented Superfund- related clciinup actions at both sites. Implementation of the long-tenn remedy and clciinup activities, such as groundwater treatment and monitoring are ongoing.
Tlie Site contains various fonns of solid iind liquid wastes that iu*e both orgiinic iind inorganic. Chemicals from the tactories owned by the B. F. Goodrich Coiporation were disposed of on-site from 1969 to 1972. The investigation characterized the groundwater and soil is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including ethylene dichloride (EDC). benzene, toluene, and other related compounds. Some sediment in iin on-site drainage ditch was contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (P.AH).
Tlie EP.A has detennined that the main threat to human health and the environment is the release of hazardous chemicals to the soil and groundwater, iind the migration of these chemicals to the Tennessee River. .Although access to the contaminated soil and groundwater is restricted because it is beneath the active chemical plants, the N.APL beneath the tacility represents an essentially "inlniite" source of contiimination to the groundwater. Groundwater naturalK Bows from the south, northwiu'd toward the ri\ er. .Approximately 750.000 gallons of water passes through the contamination beneath the Site daily.
Tlie main types of contaminants associated with the BEG site include iU'omatic compounds such as benzene, chlorinated compounds such as 1. 2- dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride [EDC]): polycyclic aromatic compounds such as naphthalene (a chemical associated with coal tiu*): and mercury. Many of these chemicals are toxic to both human iind ecological receptors. .A more thorough discussion of the source, nature, and toxicity of these chemicals will be presented further in this Phin.
Because of the tlu'cat posed by this Site, the EP.A. in conjunction with the KDEP. developed and evaluated a range of options to mitigate the tlu'cat to human health iind the environment posed by the Site. The options evaluated ranged from complete treatment of the Site and restoration of the groundwater to isolation of the contamination from the environment. Tlie present worth cost of these options generally ranged from SlOO million to $1.3 billion.
Tliis Proposed Plan presents an altemative that the EP.A iind the KDEP believes, if implemented, would protect human health and the environment: would comply with federal iind state regulations: iind would achieve the best balance of trade-olTs among other tactors such as implementability and cost.
.As mentioned previously. .A ROD was issued in 1988. That ROD provided for the collection, treatment and discharge of contaminated groundwater: excavation and
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 10 November 201 placement of contiiminated soils in an on-site landfill: installation of a RCRA cap over the Site's hindfill: installation of a leachate collection system: deed restrictions to protect the remedy and prevent residential exposures. The remedy implemented by the ROD was completed in 1997. In 2001. a Five-Vein* Review (FVR) concluded that the remedy was protective of humiin health iind environment. In 2006. the second FVR determined the cleiinup actions to date were protective of people iind the environment in the short tenn. However, the FVR found that in the long tenn. there is a need for additional elTorts to improve the cleanup progress. Groundwater contiimination was not decreasing to levels anticipated by the EP.A. .As a result, the EP.A concluded that the nature of the contamination, such as contamination in non-aqueous phase liquid (N.APL) fonn. may be impacting cleanup activities at the eastern burn pit and landfill.
In 2007 and 2008. the EP.A detennined there are areas of N.APL near the bum pit and landfill impacting cleanup progress. In addition, there is evidence of N.APL at the RCR.A site. Tlie EP.A and KDEP concluded that the most elTective way to address contiimination at the B. E. Goodrich site was to expand the scope of the Superfund response.
In 2008. the EP.A begiin negotiations with the PRPs to perfomi a Remedial Investigation Eeasibility Study (RI PS) at the Site. The EP.A signed iin .Administrative Settlement and Order on Consent for RI PS on December 9. 2009 with Goodrich Coiporation. PolyOne Coiporation. and Westhike Vinyls. Inc. To avoid delays, the EP.A took over the completion of the RI work 2014. The EP.A completed the RI in .August 2015. .Additionally, the EP.A completed the FS in 2016.
Tlie Proposed Plan, which is being issued in November 2017. proposes to install a three- mile-long hairier wall to bedrock around perimeter of the tacility to prevent further migration of N.APL and groundwater into the river. The installation of a Hydraulic control of groundwater inside the hairier wall with a limited treatment component prior to discharge, containment of N.APL beneath the river with a biurier wall and cap. and Monitored Natural .Attenuation of contaminated groundwater beneath River iind Monitored Natural Recovery for the nearshore sediment is all in elTect. Tlie estimated worth of this remedy is S103 Million. Tlie EP.A will negotiate an .Agreement with PRPs to finance and conduct the above referenced reniedv.
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 11 November 201 3.1 C'ommunitj Profile
Calvert City is a small city located along the Tennessee River in Western Kentucky. Named for Potilla Calvert, a wealthy landowner whose hind gift to the railroad in 1860 provided vital transportation opportunity and encouraged the town's development. Calvert City was incoiporated March 18. 1871. Calvert City is known as a hub of surface triinsportation because of its direct access to larger metropolitiin areas such as Memphis iind Nashville. Tennessee: St. Louis. Missouri: iind Lexington and Louisville Kentucky.
Calvert City is estimated to have sixleen industrial phints that are key sources of emplo\ment for Western Kentucky. The majority of the industry is related to chemical niiinutacturers. although some steel and metallurgical phints also call Calvert City home. Industrial service fimis are in abundance.

B.F. Goodnch Coi-poration Communin' Involvement Plan Page 12 November 201 3.2 History of C'ommunitj Involvement
On May 28. 1986 a public inlbnnation meeting was held at City Hall in Calvert. KV. Prior to the meeting tact sheets, public notices, and press releases were issued. October 16. 1987 the EPA established an administrative record for the BE Goodrich Airco sites at the Marshall County Libmi'y. MiU'ch 15. 1988 the final R1 and driift ES reports were submitted to the repositoiy. Mai'ch 29. 1989. the EPA held a public meeting at Calvert City Elementaiy School to present the R1 PS report iind prefeired remedial alternatives to the public. Pollowing the March 29. 1989 meeting, the public comment period was opened for 30 days, ending on April 28. 1988. In 2008. B. P. Goodrich iind the BOC Group entered into a legal agreement with the EP.A to conduct a focused remedial investigation and feasibility study for the hindfill and bum pit area at the site. In 2010. the EP.A held an open house meeting to update the community on the site's status and iinswer community questions.
3.3 Key Community Concerns
Tlie following section lists the site-related community issues and concerns identified during the community interviews conducted.
Interviews with citizens revealed that those who had grown up in the iu*ea were aware of the plant but were not concerned. The majorit\ of the communit\ members were not aware of the remedial activities taking place at the Site. Tlie community was interested in all the other chemical plants that iu*e located in this neighborhood because the area is primarily industrial commercial.
3.4 Response to Community Concerns
Tlie EP.A will address community concerns in various ways. This includes continuously infonning the community by sending factsheets. conducting public meetings, and visiting the community. The EP.A will also publish a community involvement plan that discusses the variety of community outreach elTorts iind progmms EP.A has available to residents.
3.5 Summary of Communication Needs
Most community members indicated that mail was the best way to get infonnation to them, though niiiny expressed that they utilize a P.O. Box. Local television iind newspaper were also mentioned as options.
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 13 November 201 Section 4.0 EPA’s C'ommunitj Involvement Program
Tlie overall goal of the EPA's community involvement progmm is to promote two-way communication between citizens and the EPA and to provide opportunities for meiiningful iind active involvement by the community in the cleanup process. Tlie EPA will implement the community involvement activities described below. Tlie 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.
4.1 The Plan
Issue 1: Keeping the public infornied and up to date.
Acti\ity lA: Designate an EPA Conuiiuiiity In\ohenient Coordinator (CIC).
• Objective: To provide a primaiy liaison between the community and the EP.A. and to ensure prompt, accurate, and consistent responses and infonnation dissemination about the Site. In those instances, where the EP.A's CTC may be unable to provide adequate infonnation (such as on teclmical issues), inquiries will be directed to the appropriate EP.A contact.
• Method: The EP.A designates iin EP.A CIC to luindle site inquiries and serve as a point of contact for community members. Tlie CIC is appointed by Region 4 Superfund. Stephanie Yvette Brown is the EP.A CTC assigned to the site. She works closely with Brad Jackson. EP.A's Remedial Project Manager.
• Timing: Tlie CTC has been designated.

• Timing: Tlie EP.A will prepiU'e iind distribute tact sheets on iin as needed basis.
B.F. Goodnch Coi-poration Communin' Involvement Plan Page 14 November 201 Acti\ity 1C: Pro\icle a toll-free ‘‘800 number" for the comniuiiity to contact EPA.
• Objective: To enable citizens to obtain current inlbrmation when they wiint. rather than waiting for a meeting or a tact sheet, and without incuiring iiny cost.
• Method: The EPA will activate the 800 number and publish it periodically in the local papers and in all tact sheets.
• Timing: Tlie line is cuirently operational (1-877-718-3752).
ActiMty ID: Maintain a mailing list for the Site.
• Objective: To tacilitate the distribution of Site-specific intbnnation to eveiy one who needs or wants to be kept intbnned about the Site.
• Method: The EP.A creates mailing lists of residences adjacent to the Site, in known or suspected paths of migration, or those othenvise affected by the Site. Tlie EP.A infonns interested parties via tact sheets, newspaper articles, public meetings, public availabilities, etc.
• Timing: Tlie EP.A has established the mailing list iind will review revise the list periodically to ensure current intbnnation.
.\cti\1ty IE: Establish and inamtam Infonnation Repositories.
• Objective: To provide a convenient location for residents to read and copy otTicial documents iind other pertinent infonnation about the Site and EP.A activities.
• Method: The repositoiy is a reference collection of Site infonnation containing the .Administrative Record file, other Site-specific infonnation. the Community Involvement Plan, infonnation about the Teclmical .Assistance Gmnt progmm. and the general Superfund process. Tlie Community Involvement Coordinator works with a local contact to establish the local repositoiy . This repository is accessible to the physically challenged, has copier facilities, iind is available to residents during nonnal business hours and at least some evening iind or weekend hours. .Additional repositories may also be established, including one at the EP.A Region 4 in .Atlanta. Georgia.
• Timing: Tlie EP.A established the local repository located at the Marshall County Libraiy . EP.A adds new documents as they become available. See .Appendix I for repositoiy infonnation.
B.F. Goodiich Corporalion Communin' Involvement Plan Page 15 November 201 Activity IF: Provide Site and Superfund information on the Internet.
• Objective: To provide key resources for searching and listing both general and specific information about Superftind and hazardous waste issues.

Information about EPA and Superflind can be found at: ■ EPA Headquarters: http://www.epa.gov ■ EPA Region 4: http ://www.epa. gov ■ EPA Region 4: Atlanta, Georgia Office: https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-epa- region-4-southeast
• Timing: Site Status Summaries are periodically updated.
Activity IG: Establish and maintain the Administrative Record.
• Objective: To provide residents with a paper trail of all documents, resources, etc. used by the Remedial Project Manager and Site Team in reaching all decisions about the Site and its cleanup.
Method: The EPA will provide at least two sets of the Achninistrative Record for the Site, one in the EPA Region 4 offices located at 61 Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303 Mid one located in the local Information Repository near the Site. The local repository for the site is located at Marshall County Public Library 23 Park Road Calvert City, KY 42029.
• Timing: The Achninistrative Record is opened when Site investigation begins and remains open until the last ROD is signed.
Issue 2: Provide adequate opportunities for communitv involvement.
Activity 2A: Hold public meetings.
• Objective: To update the community on Site developments and address community questions, concerns, ideas and comments.
• Method: Refer to Appendix G for suggested meeting locations. The EPA schedules, and attends all announced meetings. The EPA provides at least two weeks’ notice of the scheduled meeting. The Regional Project Manager, Community Involvement Coordinator, and other appropriate EPA attend the meetings.
• Timing: The EPA will hold public meetings as appropriate.
B.F. Goodrich Corporation Community Involvement Plan Page 16 November 2017 Acti\ity 2B: Encourage formation of a Coniinunity Ad\ ison Group (CAG).
• Objective: To provide citizens with a meaningful way to become actively involved, iind to provide the Site Temn with a viable means ofleaming citizen concerns and attitudes.
• Method: The EPA will encourage the fonnation of a CAG iind provide support as appropriate to facilitate its fonnation. U'fonned. the EP.A will provide administrative support but will not be an active member of the C.AG.
• Timing: Tlie EP.A will respond to any requests for help to fonn a C.AG. .As necessary, the EP.A will promote C.AGs regularly throughout the Superfund process until one is fonned.
.Acti\ ity 2C: Make \ isits to conununity.
• Objective: To help community members remain infonned about the Site, while providing the EP.A with feedback about site activities iind the community's opinions.
• Method: The EP.A will establish a presence in the community through infonnal. often unscheduled visits to talk spontiineously with local residents.
• Timing: Tliroughout the entire Superfund process.
