Final Work Plan: Phase I Expedited Site Characterization for Agenda, Kansas
- Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has entered into an interagency agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under which Argonne National Laboratory, a multidisciplinary research center operated by the University of Chicago for DOE, provides technical assistance to the CCC/USDA with hazardous waste site characterization and remediation. In particular, Argonne will apply its Expedited Site Characterization (ESC) approach to satisfy the requirements of a remedial investigation (RI) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) at sites in Kansas where carbon tetrachloride has been found in water at concentrations above the maximum contaminant level of 5 micrograms per liter (|ig/L) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Carbon tetrachloride, a former component in a commercial grain fumigant, is the primary contaminant of concern at sites where the CCC/USDA formerly operated grain storage facilities in Kansas.
