EASTLAND WOOLEN MILL SUPERFUND SITE PARTIAL DELETION 

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM

DATE: June 29, 2012

Remedial Project Manager

RE: Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site, Corinna, Maine

1. Background:

Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site

Corinna, Penobscot County, Maine

MED980915474 

Site ID No: 0101043 

EPA Lead

Operable Unit I

1.1. Site Location:

The Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site (“Site”) is located in the Town of Corinna, Penobscot 

County, Maine, approximately 6 miles north of Newport and 25 miles northwest of Bangor, 

Maine. Approximately 800 people live within one mile of the Site and 2,500 live within four 

miles. The Town of Corinna is located within the East Branch of the Sebasticook River (EBSR) 

watershed, which drains to Sebasticook Lake approximately three miles south of the Town. The 

river supports many fisheries, wetlands and sensitive environments. Bald Eagles that nest north 

of the site are known to use the river near the site, and two Bald Eagle nests are located 

downstream of the site on Sebasticook Lake. 

Topography within the watershed is typified by gently rolling hills to steeply sloping ridges, 

varying from narrow valleys to fairly expansive low-lying floodplains. Elevations within the 

immediate vicinity of Corinna range from 200 to 320 feet above mean sea level (msl). The 

former Eastland Woolen Mill straddled the EBSR and the southern portion of the former Mill 

Pond. Figure 1 shows the location of the Site.

The future land use assumptions for the Site and surrounding areas are based on the Reuse Plan 

developed by the Town of Corinna. The Reuse Plan identified a mix of commercial, residential 

and mixed-use development for the area that includes the Site. The majority of the Site, about 20

acres, is currently available for re-use since the current cleanup program only occupies about five
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

2

of the 25 acres that were at one time part of the cleanup activities at the Site. EPA plans to 

remove these 20 acres from the boundary of the Site to facilitate further reuse. A portion of the 

Site was brought into productive re-use when a 20 unit senior housing facility, Corundel 

Commons, opened in February 2006. 

Because the cleanup work is subsurface and episodic in nature, EPA has worked with the 

community to allow limited use of the Site when the cleanup is not active. A war memorial and 

a bandstand were constructed on land that will remain within the Site boundary but are available 

for public use. See Figure 2 for the location of the areas of the Site that have been returned to 

productive use.

1.2. Site Operational History:

The Site was formerly dominated by the Eastland Woolen Mill (EWM) building complex which, 

before its demolition in 2000, was comprised of a large manufacturing building and several 

ancillary structures, with a total area of 250,000 square feet. The buildings stood on both sides 

of and over the EBSR, a State-designated Class C water, which flows north to south through the 

center of Corinna. The original woolen-mill structure was built in the late 1800s or early 1900s. 

The property was a woolen mill as far back as 1912. EWM owned and operated the mill from 

1936 to October 1996, when they closed the mill. Prior to closing in 1996, EWM was a 

manufacturer and finisher of wool and blended woven fabric. Fabric finishing included dyeing 

of the fabric to meet product or customer requirements. This dying operation took place in dye 

kettles and utilized various chemicals, including dyes and dye-aids that reportedly contained 

biphenyl and chlorinated benzene compounds, including 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-

dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. Until construction of the 

Town of Corinna Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in 1969, liquid wastes from the mill 

were discharged to the ground surface beneath mill buildings, to Mill Pond Dam tailrace, and 

ultimately the EBSR. It was not until 1977 that all liquid waste streams were finally directed to 

the WWTP. Figure 3 shows the former EWM complex.

1.3. Pre-NPL Environmental Assessments:

As a result of the discharge of waste from the dyeing of fabrics, the soil and groundwater 

underlying mill buildings along with the river sediment extending several hundred feet downgradient of the former EWM were contaminated with chlorinated benzene compounds. 

Groundwater was contaminated at concentrations well above federal drinking water Maximum 

Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and State of Maine drinking water Maximum Exposure Guidelines 

(MEGs). Routine pumping of nearby residential bedrock wells spread the contamination 

laterally along bedrock bedding-plane fractures.

In 1983, drinking water wells along Main Street in Corinna near the EWM were found to be 

contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily chlorobenzene compounds. An 

employee of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MEDEP) visited a Corinna 

restaurant and found the water had a peculiar odor and taste. This led to sampling and analysis, 

which revealed that the restaurant water (from a bedrock well) was contaminated by 

chlorobenzene compounds above the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). At the time when 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

3

the contamination was discovered the entire community relied on individual private ground 

water wells for drinking water. By 1988, a total of 11 locations had chlorobenzene 

contamination at levels warranting the installation of granular activated carbon (GAC) filters to 

treat individual water supplies. In 1995, the Corinna Water District (which was created in 1994) 

began supplying water to customers. In October 1996 EWM closed and its creditors sold its 

secured assets. In 1997, the Town of Corinna obtained title to the property as compensation for 

taxes owed.

Prior to the closure of the EWM, the company performed environmental investigations of the 

downtown area in 1984. The work included the completion of soil borings, installation of 

monitoring wells and piezometers, sampling and analysis of soil and groundwater and a 

preliminary fracture-trace analysis. The investigation concluded that additional work was 

needed to identify a contaminant source area. By 1988, EWM had completed a study of 

residences and businesses at risk from the groundwater contamination, and had investigated 

potential locations for installation of a public water supply system. It was concluded that 

contamination had likely spread via bedrock fractures and faults. 

In 1993, EWM completed Phase I of a chlorinated benzene contamination investigation in the 

downtown area. The report identified the tailrace beneath the EWM and the underground 

storage tank (UST) area where dye-aid had been stored adjacent to Building 13 as possible 

source locations.

EWM removed three USTs from the UST Area in 1994. Chlorinated benzene compounds were 

detected in soil samples collected from the bottom of the excavation. An overburden 

groundwater recovery well (R-1), consisting of a 30-inch-diameter corrugated metal pipe with 

slits in the bottom five feet and surrounded by crushed stone, was installed at the site after 

removal of the USTs, because free product was reported in the excavation and soil staining was 

observed. In addition, a drum containing a dark oil-like substance was unearthed in the UST 

excavation. Recovery Well R-1 was pumped to collect chlorinated benzene-contaminated 

groundwater and flush contaminants from the “smear” zone between August 1994 and sometime 

in 1995. In conjunction with the pumping of groundwater from Well R-1, EWM instituted 

pumping of groundwater from the bedrock well on Lot 122, south of Main Street, now 

referenced as Recovery Well R-2.

In the fall of 1995, during the installation of water supply lines to serve contamination affected 

residences, personnel working for EWM observed excavation activities in the riverbed just 

downstream of the Main Street bridge. During this excavation, a dense non-aqueous-phase 

liquid (DNAPL) was reportedly observed within the till material beneath the gravel riverbed. 

EWM performed additional sampling of the sediments in the riverbed downstream of the EWM

and found chlorinated benzene compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons both within the silty till 

layer beneath the rocky, gravel riverbed and in a floodplain on the west side of the river.

After closure of the EWM in 1996, MEDEP sampled soils around the former USTs adjacent to 

Building 13 to evaluate whether residual soil contamination was present and acting as a source of 

groundwater contamination. This effort was supplemented in 1998 with additional analytical 

parameters and sampling of a background location. In 1997, MEDEP performed sediment 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

4

sampling with field chemical screening to gain information on the magnitude of river bottom 

contamination documented in 1995. Additional sediment and surface water samples were 

collected from the river in 1998 for off-site analysis. These investigations confirmed that high 

concentrations of chlorinated benzenes were present in the riverbed over 1000 feet downstream 

of the EWM complex. These data were used to prepare the Hazard Ranking System scoring 

package that was submitted to EPA for placement of the Site on the National Priorities List 

(NPL).

In 1997, MEDEP performed an emergency response action to remove 54,673 pounds of various 

hazardous substances from process pipes, containers and vessels located within the EWM.

1.4. National Priorities List (NPL) Designation:

The Site was proposed for inclusion on the NPL on April 23, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg. 19968). It was 

listed for final inclusion on the NPL on July 22, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg. 39878-39885). The 

description of the Site at the time of the NPL listing is presented below:

The Eastland Woolen Mill site (the site) consists of the mill property and areas where 

contamination has migrated or otherwise come to be located due to mill operations. The 

Eastland Woolen Mill property is a 21-acre parcel located on the north side of Main 

Street, Corinna, in central Maine. There is a 250,000 square foot Mill building, two 

dams, and several out buildings on site. The mill building straddles the East Branch of 

the Sebasticook River with one dam located under the building near main street; the 

other dam is located approximately 500 feet north of the mill and maintains the water 

level of Corundel Lake, a portion of the East Branch of the Sebasticook River. The two 

dams also create an on-site mill pond. The site is bordered to the north by Corundel 

Lake and residential property, to the south by Main Street, to the east by the Dexter Road 

and the Methodist Church, and on the west by Route 43 and several residential 

properties.

2. EPA Response Actions:

The response actions at the Eastland Woolen Mill include the remedial investigation and 

feasibility study (RI/FS) along with the Non-Time-Critical Removal Action (NTCRA) and 

Operable Unit I (OUI) EPA cleanup activities. 

2.1. Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS):

From 1998 to 2002, USEPA performed the RI/FS for OUI at the EWM site. The RI was 

performed concurrent with planning activities for the NTCRA and focused on those areas that 

were not within the scope of the NTCRA. At the completion of the OUI RI, the EWM site was 

divided into two operable units. The location of the operable units is shown in Figure 4.

OUI is the groundwater operable unit and includes overburden and bedrock groundwater 

contamination associated with the EWM complex, Building 14 and the UST Area including 

some areas of soil contamination remaining after the NTCRA. The early soil cleanup conducted 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

5

under the NTCRA removed all soil contamination above the bedrock surface except in a few 

areas that were not accessible to excavation. These areas, which were subsequently included in 

the OUI RI, are shown in Figure 5 and include deep soil remaining above bedrock under the 

EWM complex that was adjacent to the Route 7 bridge, and small areas of shallower soil 

contamination at the UST Area and Building 14. 

The RI for the OUI Study Area identified two areas where site-related contaminants exceed 

federal and state drinking water criteria in overburden groundwater. One area is associated with 

the UST Area/Building 14 sub-area, and the other is downgradient of the former location of 

Buildings 1, 1A, and 3 within the EWM complex where liquid wastes were discharged. The RI 

also identified an area of bedrock groundwater contamination associated with the release of 

contamination from Buildings 1, 1A, and 3. The major groundwater contaminants of concern 

(COCs) were determined to be benzene, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-

dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. EPA signed a ROD for OUI 

in September 2002 and revised the OUI Remedial Action with a ROD Amendment that was 

signed in September 2006. Figure 6 identifies the area of groundwater contamination at the time 

of the 2002 ROD and 2006 ROD Amendment.

The OUI RI and ROD also documented that three satellite areas of suspected contamination 

(School Street Yard, Moosehead Mill, and Bulk Fuels Storage Area) were not considered part of 

the Site based on the absence of contamination that would represent an unacceptable threat to 

human health or the environment. A fourth area, known as Lot 88, was also identified as not 

requiring any further action after the NTCRA removed the soil contamination from this property. 

These areas are shown in Figure 7. The details of the OUI RI/FS can be found in the Remedial 

Investigation Report, Supplemental Remedial Investigation Report, Human Health Risk 

Assessment Report and Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment Report that are included in the 

Administrative Record for the OUI Record of Decision (ROD). 

In September 2002, EPA created OUII to address the sediment and associated floodplain areas of 

the EBSR downstream of NTCRA excavation, as well as an area of solid and liquid waste 

disposal known as the Old Dump. During 2002 and 2003, EPA performed a series of studies to 

better define the potential for ecological impacts in the OUII area. Surface water, sediment, 

floodplain soil, and crayfish tissue samples were collected for analysis and biological 

assessments of the benthic macro-invertebrate community were performed. The information 

from these studies was presented in a Supplemental RI Report. The information was also 

combined with the initial RI data to prepare a revised Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment 

Report that found there was no unacceptable risk to ecological receptors in the OUII area. Both 

reports were released in 2004 as part of the Administrative Record and were available for review 

during the public comment period for the OUII Proposed Plan. On September 30, 2004, EPA 

signed a ROD selecting No Further Action for OUII of the Site. EPA activities in the OUII 

Study Area are complete, and no further activities are anticipated. The OUII study area is shown 

in Figures 4 and 7.

2.2. Non-Time-Critical Removal Action (NTCRA):

In January 1999, EPA signed an Approval Memorandum authorizing the preparation of an 

Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (EE/CA) to evaluate potential response alternatives 

for a NTCRA at the Site. The EE/CA recommended demolishing the EWM complex buildings 

to allow for the excavation and treatment of the contaminated soils on the Site. After completion 

of a public comment period and consideration of the comments, EPA signed an Action 

Memorandum in July 1999 to authorize a NTCRA for the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site. 

The Action Memorandum was amended in June 2000, September 2000, May 2001, and June 

2004.

This NTCRA included the removal of the mill buildings (performed during the winter of 

1999/2000) and contaminated soils from four areas (performed from 2000-2001). NTCRA work 

areas, shown in Figure 8, include:

Area 1: Region underlying Mill Buildings 1, 1A, and 3 (2001)

Area 2: River segment down river from the mill to the abandoned railroad trestle (2000)

Area 2a: River segment under the abandoned railroad trestle and overlapping Area 2 and Area 

3 (2000)

Area 3: River segment for a distance several hundred feet beyond the railroad trestle (2000)

Area 4: Lot 88, Building 9, UST Area, and other miscellaneous areas (2000 and 2001)

During 2000 and 2001 approximately 75,000 cubic yards (yd3

) of chlorinated-benzene 

contaminated soils were excavated and stockpiled at the Site in lined containment structures. In 

2001, pilot testing of an on-site low temperature thermal soil treatment system was performed. 

The results of this pilot test indicated that the treatment system could meet established treatment 

goals. Full-scale on-site treatment of contaminated soil began in October 2002 and was 

completed in October 2003. Testing of the soil after treatment documented that all of the soil 

that was used for on-site backfill contained residual levels of contamination below residential 

cleanup standards and met the NTCRA groundwater leaching criteria that were developed during 

the NTCRA. Table 1 summarizes the soil confirmation sampling performed as part of the low 

temperature thermal treatment component of the NTCRA. To support the NTCRA excavation 

and thermal treatment activities, a temporary groundwater extraction and treatment system was 

constructed to aid in control of groundwater infiltration during excavation activities. One 

bedrock well and four overburden wells were connected to a temporary treatment system. The 

system remained operational until November 2004 to provide hydraulic control over the 

groundwater plume during the initial phase of the NTCRA. 

Details concerning the NTCRA source removals are presented in the Final Completion Report,

As previously discussed, three areas of contaminated soil were not accessible to the NTCRA 

excavations. The final phase of the NTCRA targeted the reduction of contamination in these 

source areas using in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO). These areas are shown in Figure 9.

In Spring 2005, 20 injector wells were installed in the UST Area and the former Building 14 

Area to depths ranging from 15 to 30 ft bgs. ISCO treatment consisted of two full-scale 

injections of iron-catalyzed sodium persulfate (ICP), followed by confirmatory soil borings and 

groundwater sampling. These injections were performed in July and October/November 2005. 

A total of 13,319 gallons of persulfate solution (22,120 lbs of oxidant) and 13,514 gallons of 

chelated iron solution were delivered to the UST Area and Building 14 Area. Confirmatory soil 

borings and groundwater sampling indicated an approximate 90% reduction of dissolved phase 

contamination and an approximate 71% reduction in sorbed phase soil contamination following 

the Phase I ICP applications. 

In August 2005, one full-scale round of Phase II ISCO treatment was implemented for Area 1. 

ICP was delivered to the subsurface via 11 ISCO injector wells. Approximately 19,256 gallons 

of persulfate (31,947 lbs of oxidant) and 19,423 gallons of chelated iron solution (2,429 lbs) 

were delivered to the Phase II treatment area. Confirmatory groundwater sampling performed 

following full-scale ISCO application indicated a reduction of dissolved phase contamination by 

approximately 63%. Soil sampling performed following the ISCO Pilot study indicated a 38% 

reduction in residual DNAPL contamination. The Phase II Task Plan and Phase II Full Scale 

ISCO Injection Plan - Application #1 describe the activities that were performed to further the 

completion of NTCRA source reduction in this area. The “2005 Phase I and Phase II ISCO 

Remedial Performance Assessment Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site, Non-Time Critical 

Removal Action, Corinna, Maine, May 2006” documents that the ISCO has been successful in 

reducing the mass of contamination in the Phase II Area. The ISCO for the Phase II program 

continues as part of the OUI RA. 

The NTCRA program ended in May 2006 as documented by the Final Pollution Report 

(POLREP) for the Eastland Woolen Mill NTCRA that was finalized in September 2006.

2.3. Remedial Action:

In addition to the Action Memorandum to authorize the NTCRA, EPA completed a Record of 

Decision for each of the two operable units for the Eastland Woolen Mill site. 

2.3.1. OUI ROD

The 2002 OUI ROD was issued to address overburden and bedrock groundwater and remaining 

areas of contaminated soil/DNAPL and restore the aquifer to federal and state MCLs, federal 

non-zero MCLs and more stringent state MEGs. The OUI remedy targeted the restoration of 

contaminated groundwater through treatment using both extraction and ex-situ treatment and the 

application of in-situ reagents. The ROD stated that treatment of the groundwater will be 

accomplished in two ways: (1) groundwater will be extracted from the ground and treated to 

reduce the concentration of contaminants to levels that are protective of human health and the 

environment and achieve the applicable criteria for discharge into either the EBSR or the 

groundwater; and (2) in-situ reagents will be used to facilitate the removal of contamination (via 

in-situ oxidation and in-situ surfactant addition, in combination with the addition of biostimulants as a polishing step). Institutional controls will restrict the future use of the Site to 

prevent ingestion of groundwater and disruption of the groundwater extraction and treatment 

system. This cleanup approach was expected to control the off-site migration of contaminated 

groundwater and restore the aquifer to drinking water standards.

OUI also targeted the soil contamination remaining after the NTCRA ex-situ and in-situ soil 

treatment programs. The soil excavation and ex-situ soil treatment program conducted under the 

NTCRA removed all soil contamination above the water table and most soil contamination, 

including the DNAPL below the water table, except in a few areas under the former EWM

complex, the UST Area and Building 14 Area that were not accessible during the NTCRA. The 

in-situ ISCO program performed as part of the NTCRA completed the source reduction in the 

UST Area and Building 14 Area and reduced the source material in Area 1 of the Site. The OUI 

ISCO program will target the remaining contaminated soils and DNAPL located in Area 1 of the 

Site that acts as a continuing source of groundwater contamination. The OUI program will also 

include long-term assessment of the Building 14 Area and UST Area to confirm that the NTCRA 

source reduction was successful. Figure 5 shows the soil contamination area that will be the 

focus of OUI Remedial Action and Figure 6 shows the extent of groundwater contamination at 

the time of the 2002 ROD and 2006 ROD Amendment.

Specifically, the 2002 OU I ROD includes the following major components:

• Extraction and treatment of the contaminated overburden and bedrock groundwater. The 

extraction system will be designed to prevent off-site migration of contaminated 

groundwater, prevent contaminated groundwater from having an adverse impact on the 

benthic community in the EBSR, and restore the aquifer to federal and state MCLs, federal 

non-zero MCLGs and more stringent state MEGs.

• In-situ treatment of the contaminated overburden and bedrock groundwater and remaining 

areas of contaminated soil and DNAPL. A chemical reagent (e.g., Fenton’s Reagent or 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

9

another oxidizing agent) will be added to the overburden and bedrock aquifer to reduce the 

mass of contaminants in the system. If the mass reduction is not sufficient to achieve 

cleanup levels, then enhanced flushing (using surfactants/solvents) and biological 

degradation (using bio-stimulants) will be attempted to further reduce the mass of 

contamination.

• Connection of certain residences to the water supply lines to prevent their wells from 

becoming contaminated, and to prevent expansion of the contamination in the groundwater.

• Implementation, monitoring and maintenance of institutional controls (i.e., deed restrictions) 

in the form of groundwater use restrictions (e.g., easements or restrictive covenants) to 

prevent ingestion of groundwater and disturbance of the groundwater extraction and 

treatment system.

• Long-term monitoring of groundwater, surface water and sediments to evaluate the success 

of the remedial action.

• Implementation of five-year reviews to assess the protectiveness of the remedy until cleanup 

goals have been met.

The selected remedy addresses principal and low-level threat wastes at the Site by both reducing 

the mass of contamination, including DNAPL, in the soil and bedrock fractures and containing 

and treating the contaminated groundwater to achieve groundwater restoration. 

2.3.2. OUI ROD Amendment:

The 2002 OU I ROD was written prior to the completion of the NTCRA that commenced in 

1999. Therefore, the impact of the NTCRA-related excavation and treatment of the 

contaminated overburden source areas was uncertain at the time of the ROD. Subsequent to the 

signing of the 2002 OUI ROD and the completion of the NTCRA excavation and treatment 

program, EPA performed assessment monitoring of the groundwater. EPA also developed an 

improved conceptual site model through additional hydro-geologic investigations and 

groundwater modeling. The primary results of the investigations and monitoring from 2002 –

2005 are presented below:

• The groundwater plume was found to be receding as a result of the NTCRA cleanup 

activities and the connection of certain water supply wells to the Corinna Water District 

water line. This eliminated the major pumping stresses that were influencing the expansion 

of the groundwater contamination. Since the groundwater contaminant plume was no longer 

expanding, containment of the groundwater contaminant plume to prevent expansion was no 

longer necessary. The institutional controls that are being developed as part of the OUI 

Remedial Action will prevent the re-use of the water supply wells that could cause the area of 

groundwater contamination to expand.
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

• Monitoring of the groundwater and surface water indicates that the EBSR is not being 

impacted by the groundwater contamination; therefore the benthic community in the EBSR is 

no longer threatened by the Site contamination. An assumption of the 2002 OUI ROD was 

that the EBSR may be impacted by the discharge of contaminated overburden groundwater. 

Prior to the NTCRA, contaminated groundwater contributed to severe ecological impacts in 

the EBSR. The EBSR was relocated as part of the NTCRA and the combined benefit of the 

relocation of the EBSR and elimination of the majority of the source contamination was not 

known at the time of the 2002 OUI ROD. To assess the potential for impacts to the EBSR 

after completion of the soil excavation and ex-situ treatment phase of the NTCRA, 

groundwater samples were collected from a series of piezometers installed within the EBSR 

channel. One sample collected from a piezometer located adjacent to Area 1 contained 

chlorinated benzene compounds at concentrations less than the federal and state drinking 

water standards. In addition, samples collected from piezometers installed within the base of 

the river did not contain detectable concentrations of chlorinated benzene compounds.

• Groundwater modeling based on the most updated Site information revealed that the time 

frame to achieve aquifer restoration without a groundwater extraction and treatment system 

was only slightly longer than the time frame with the groundwater extraction and treatment 

system. The time frame to achieve aquifer restoration has two components. The first 

component is the removal of the principal threat source material through the ISCO and 

biological enhancements. This first component is identical in both the original 2002 OUI 

ROD remedy, identified as GW-4 in the FFS, and the amended OUI remedy, identified as 

GW-4a in the FFS. The second component of the restoration is the aquifer recovery through 

long-term natural attenuation processes, either facilitated by groundwater extraction, as 

included in Alternative GW-4, or through non-active processes, as included in Alternative 

GW-4a. The time frame for the source removal under both Alternative GW-4 and GW-4a is 

estimated at 15 years. Subsequent to the 15 year period required for source removal, an 

additional 15 to 60 years is estimated to be necessary to achieve full aquifer restoration for 

Alternative GW-4 with the use of long-term groundwater extraction and treatment. This 

results in an estimated range for the cleanup of 30 to 75 years, with 60 years being selected in 

the FFS as a reasonable estimate for the basis of alternative comparison and cost evaluation. 

For Alternative GW-4a, without the use of long-term groundwater extraction and treatment, 

the estimated time period to achieve aquifer restoration is 30 to 74 years, resulting in a 

cleanup range of 45 to 89 years and with 80 years being selected as a reasonable estimate for 

the basis of alternative comparison and cost evaluation. 

• The 20 year time difference between GW-4 and GW-4a is not considered significant for the 

following reasons:

o The groundwater plume that will remain after the NTCRA and ISCO programs is 

located under roadways and greenspace within an area where groundwater use is 

prohibited and a water line is available. There is therefore minimal potential for 

human consumption of the groundwater during the additional 20 years. 

o The time frame estimates were developed using the information available and are 

considered reasonable for alternative comparison; however, there is substantial 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

11

uncertainty associated with these estimates. The actual difference in time frame for 

aquifer restoration could therefore be much smaller than estimated.

• The pilot testing and initial applications of the oxidizing reagent, persulfate, supports the 

conclusion that this technology would be appropriate for use in the deep bedrock. Therefore, 

EPA does not expect to use the enhanced flushing with surfactants or co-solvents as a 

cleanup technology for OUI.

Based on the above information, EPA decided to amend the 2002 OUI ROD to eliminate the 

groundwater extraction and treatment system as well as the enhanced flushing component with 

surfactants or co-solvents in order to achieve the remedial action objectives and cleanup goals in 

a more cost effective manner. 

2.3.3. OUI ROD and OUI Amendment Risk Summary

The 2002 OUI ROD included an assessment of the potential threats to human health in the OUI 

study area. Based on the Human Health Risk Assessment prepared as part of the RI and the 

2002 OUI ROD, the only pathways that exceed EPA’s acceptable cancer risk range and/or a 

hazard quotient of concern are ingestion of groundwater in the overburden and bedrock plumes 

by a future resident. The lifetime cancer risk estimate for a combined child and adult exposure to 

the bedrock plume groundwater is 6 x 10-3. Seventy-five percent of this risk is due to arsenic, 

with twenty-five percent attributable to the 1,4-DCB. EPA’s hazard index of concern for noncarcinogenic risk is exceeded for children and adults for several target organs. The major 

contributors to these exceedances are chlorobenzene, 1,2-DCB, 1,3-DCB, 1,4-DCB, 1,2,4-TCB 

and arsenic. These COCs also were detected at concentrations above federal and state maximum 

contaminant levels (MCLs) and more stringent state maximum exposure guidelines (MEGs).

The lifetime cancer risk estimates for the overburden plume groundwater is 2 x 10-3. Sixtyseven percent of this risk is attributable to 1,4-DCB, with arsenic contributing to the remainder 

of the cancer risk. EPA’s hazard index of concern for non-carcinogenic risk is exceeded for 

children and adults for several target organs. The major contributors to these exceedances are 

chlorobenzene, 1,2-DCB, 1,3-DCB, 1,4-DCB, 1,2,4-TCB and arsenic. These COCs also were 

detected at concentrations above federal and state MCLs and more stringent state MEGs. The 

Baseline Human Health Risk Assessment concluded that the estimated risk for the soils, surface 

water, or sediments within the OUI area do not represent an unacceptable threat to human health. 

Only groundwater represents a threat to human health. Soil contamination that is causing

groundwater contamination is also relevant to the cleanup action. 

The groundwater beneath and surrounding the Site still remains a drinking water aquifer. 

Although data gathered since the 2002 OUI ROD was issued demonstrates that the groundwater 

plume has receded and contaminant mass is reduced, contaminant levels still exceed drinking 

water standards and ingestion of groundwater continues to pose a risk to human health consistent 

with the risks summarized above. 

The OUI ROD concluded that contaminant levels in surface waters, surface soils and sediments 

within the OU I area of the EBSR are not sufficiently elevated to pose a substantial risk to 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

12

invertebrates, fish and wildlife through direct contact and dietary exposure to the Site-related 

COCs. Exposure to the contaminated water at the groundwater/surface water interface, however, 

was identified as an unacceptable risk to those organisms dwelling in this zone. Data gathered 

since the 2002 OUI ROD, however, demonstrate that the concentration of contaminants in the 

groundwater do not exceed the levels that have the potential for an unacceptable risk to 

organisms dwelling in the groundwater/surface water interface. Therefore, the successful 

implementation of the NTCRA and OUI remedy has eliminated this risk.

2.3.4. OUI ROD and OUI ROD Amendment Remedial Action Objectives

Based on preliminary information relating to the types of contaminants, environmental media of 

concern and potential exposure pathways, response action objectives (RAOs) were developed to 

aid in the development and screening of alternatives. These RAOs were developed to mitigate, 

restore and/or prevent existing and future potential threats to human health and the environment. 

The RAOs for the selected OUI Remedial Action remain the same and are repeated below:

o Prevent the ingestion of groundwater containing contaminants that exceed federal or 

state MCLs, federal non-zero MCL Goals (MCLGs) and more stringent state MEGs, 

or in their absence, an excess cancer risk of 1 x 10-6 or a hazard quotient of 1;

o Prevent, to the extent practicable, the off-site migration of groundwater containing 

contaminants at a concentration above Site cleanup levels;

o Prevent, to the extent practicable, the discharge of groundwater containing 

contaminants at a concentration above levels that could impact ecological receptors to 

the East Branch of the Sebasticook River;

o Restore groundwater to meet federal or state MCLs, federal non-zero MCLGs or 

state MEGs (whichever is most stringent), or in their absence, an excess cancer risk of 

1 x 10-6 or a hazard quotient of 1; and

o Perform long-term monitoring of surface water, sediments and groundwater to verify 

that the cleanup actions at the Site are protective of human health and the 

environment.

2.4. OUI Remedial Design

The Remedial Design for the OUI Remedial Action was initiated in 2003 and completed in 

August 2005. Two components of the OUI Remedial Action were not included in the design: 

design of a long-term groundwater extraction and treatment system and the enhanced flushing 

(using surfactants or solvents) of the deep bedrock aquifer because these components were 

removed from the Remedial Action as a result of the 2006 ROD Amendment. The Remedial 

Design was implemented in close coordination with the final phase of the NTCRA ISCO 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

14

program since both programs relied on ISCO to reduce the mass of contamination in the 

overburden soil and bedrock. As such, the NTCRA design support activities and the Remedial 

Design support activities are complementary. 

A series of additional studies and investigations were performed between 2003 and 2005 to 

develop the design for the NTCRA ISCO program and the in-situ treatment portion of the OUI 

Remedial Action. The results and conclusions of these investigations are summarized in the FFS 

and are reported in greater detail in the Conservative Interwell Tracer Test (CITT) Design, 

Conceptual Model Update Report, and the OUI Remedial Design Report. The studies and 

investigations performed to support the design activities included:

• ISCO Pilot Study: The ISCO Pilot Study performed for the NTCRA ISCO program was 

incorporated in the Remedial Design for the OUI ISCO program and resulted in the 

selection of ICP as the oxidant technology for the OUI Remedial Action ISCO programs.

• Bedrock Well Installations: Fifteen bedrock boreholes were drilled in Area 1. Bedrock 

fractures were characterized by borehole geophysics, and water samples were collected 

by packer methods. Shallow fracture DNAPL distribution and rock matrix properties 

were assessed by methanol extracted rock samples (MERC). These well locations 

provide characterization data for the Area 1 bedrock groundwater and contribute to the 

overall understanding of the bedrock fracture system and its behavior under pumping 

conditions. 

• Hydraulic Control Pump Test: In September 2004, a multi-well pump test was initiated 

utilizing six pumping wells (EW-2, EW-3, EW-4, EW-5, EW-6, and EW-7). During the 

test, individual well flow rates were gradually increased or decreased depending on 

individual well responses. The pumping test was completed by October 2004, when the 

CITT/Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) baseline was initiated. 

• Conservative Interwell Tracer Test (CITT): A CITT was designed and performed during 

October 2004 under forced gradient conditions to demonstrate that measurable flow paths 

exist within the aquifer. Data was used to evaluate dilution factors to verify the scale at 

which adequate minimum oxidant and surfactant concentrations could be maintained and 

to demonstrate sufficient aquifer connection at a scale suitable for treatment. 

• Partitioning Tracer Test (PITT): An initial PITT was designed and performed in 

conjunction with the CITT. This pilot-scale PITT was performed within the DNAPL 

source zone to assess the volume of DNAPL contacted within the swept aquifer volume. 

• Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)/Induced Polarization (IP): ERT was completed 

prior to and in conjunction with the CITT to identify preferential pathways of saline 

solutions in the fracture system between individual boreholes. Selected IP profile panels 

were also completed.

• Assessment Monitoring: Area-wide groundwater and drinking water sampling was 

implemented to evaluate and quantify the nature and extent of the overburden and 

bedrock contaminant plumes that remained after NTCRA activities. The results from the 

2004 area-wide sampling event are presented in the 2005 Area-Wide Groundwater 

Sampling Technical Memorandum. The results from the 2005 area-wide sampling results 

are presented in the spring 2006 Area Wide Groundwater Sampling Technical 

Memorandum.
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

15

• Bedrock wells to assess aquifer characteristics: Off-site bedrock borehole installations 

and groundwater pumping tests provided refined estimates of aquifer transmissivity and 

anisotropy at locations east of the EBSR. Results are presented in the Conceptual Model 

Update Technical Memorandum.

• Groundwater Modeling: Groundwater flow and contaminant transport numerical model 

simulations assessed the long-term impacts of the bedrock contaminant plume under 

various potential future site conditions based on varying degrees of contaminant mass 

reduction. The modeling is described in the Institutional Control Zones Groundwater 

Modeling Report.

• Long-Term Monitoring: A Long-Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) was developed for 

future area-wide sampling to be performed for the evaluation of plume migration and 

impacts. 

• Institutional Controls and Water Line Connections: The results of the area-wide 

sampling and groundwater modeling were used to identify the properties that should be 

connected to the public water supply. The results were also used to finalize the extent of 

the ICZ. Based on the groundwater modeling that was performed for the OUI Remedial 

Design, the OUI ROD Amendment revised the area where institutional controls would be 

necessary and defined three categories of properties within the institutional control zone. 

The Institutional Controls refinements that were developed as a result of the Remedial 

Design were documented in the 2006 OUI ROD Amendment and September 2008 OUI 

Interim Remedial Action Report. Three property categories were initially identified as part 

of the Institutional Control Plan. The successful implementation of the Remedial Action 

resulted in the combination of the initially defined Institutional Control Zone B (ICZ B) into 

the Institutional Control Zone A (ICZ-A), as ICZ-B targeted the properties that had yet to be 

connected to the public water supply. All properties were connected to the public water 

supply by December 2005. The remaining Institutional Control Zone areas are shown in 

Figure 10 and described below:

• ICZ-A identified those properties that will be subject to environmental covenants 

prohibiting use of groundwater over the entire property. All of the ICZ-A properties had 

been connected to the water line prior to the OUI ROD. Within the ICZ-A boundary, all 

existing bedrock and overburden water supply wells will be formally decommissioned, 

unless the wells are converted to monitoring wells for use in the long-term remedial 

action. ICZ-B identified those properties where connection to the water line and 

implementation of an environmental covenant prohibiting use of groundwater over the 

entire property was determined to be necessary as part of the OUI ROD and Remedial 

Design. All of these properties had been connected to the water line as part of the OUI 

Remedial Action by the end of 2006, moving these properties to ICZ-A; there is therefore 

no longer a functional application for ICZ-B.

• ICZ-C identified those properties where the current well is not contaminated and does not 

appear to be impacting the groundwater contamination, however, the groundwater 

modeling suggested that a modification to the existing well to increase yield or the 

installation of a new well at locations on the property closer to the Site could have an 

adverse impact on the groundwater contamination by inducing migration of the 

groundwater contamination. The restrictions on these properties will prohibit installation 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

16

of future groundwater wells in locations or at depths that differ from existing water 

supply wells located on these properties. ICZ-C properties may continue to use their 

private water wells within this zone for domestic or other uses. There are two properties 

included in ICZ-C.

2.5. Response Action Completion

A key component of the Remedial Action was the connection of residences to an existing public 

water supply (the Corinna Water District). The water supply had been installed previously by 

others, and many of the residences and businesses in the area were already connected to it. 

Connection of residences to the water line was initiated in September 2005. The numerical 

modeling of bedrock groundwater flow and contaminant transport was done to evaluate the 

potential long-term migration of the bedrock plume under both pumping and non-pumping 

scenarios. Based on the results of ongoing bedrock groundwater monitoring and numerical 

groundwater modeling, it was determined that certain residences proximal to the Site, including 

Map 18 Lots 39, 43, and 52, were currently impacted by Site contaminants or had the potential to 

be impacted in the future. These residences were connected to the existing public water supply 

between September and December 2005. The extension of the water line, including the new 

connections resulting from implementation of the RA, is shown on Figure 10.

The RA also continued the ISCO program initiated by the NTCRA. In fall 2006, the Area 

1/Phase III first full-scale ISCO injection and associated monitoring was implemented in the 

Phase III Area. A second full-scale ISCO injection and associated monitoring was also 

performed in the Phase II Area. In January 2007, confirmation soil and groundwater samples 

were collected to assess the first Phase III ISCO injection and the second Phase II ISCO 

injection. An area of newly discovered contamination was characterized from June 2007 through 

August 2007. This area was on the East side of the EBSR. Bedrock wells and associated 

borehole geophysics and groundwater sampling were performed to define this area. In August 

2007 and September 2007 a Pilot-scale Phase IV fractured bedrock ISCO injection completed 

along with a second full-scale ISCO injection and associated monitoring was performed in the 

Phase III Area. A third full-scale ISCO injection and associated monitoring was performed in 

the Phase II Area. Additional groundwater and soil confirmation samples were obtained in 2007.

The Remedial Action activities were completed in 2008 as documented in the OU1 Interim 

Remedial Action Report and the September 2008 Preliminary Closeout Report. The OU1 

component of the Site is now in the long-term response action component of the remedial action. 

The ongoing remedial action activities include: completion of the land use restrictions; long-term 

monitoring of groundwater and surface water; well decommissioning; site demobilization; and 

completion of the in-situ chemical oxidation program. A limited soil gas program is being 

implemented in 2012 to address soil vapor issues. The Remedial Action will be completed by 

2018 when the State of Maine will take over the long term operation, maintenance, and 

monitoring requirements.

2.6. Five Year Review

The assessment of the first five-year review performed in 2010 found that the remedy was 

constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Record of Decision (ROD) issued in 2002 

and amended in 2006. The LTRA remedy is functioning as designed. As a result of the response 

actions at the Site, there is no current exposure to contaminants at the Site. A water line provides 

clean water and planned ICs will ensure appropriate future use of potentially contaminated 

groundwater. The remedy at the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site currently protects human 

health and the environment because the contamination accessible to ecological receptors has 

been removed, there is no current human exposure to contamination, the groundwater 

contamination is not migrating, clean water is available to all locations within the extent of the 

groundwater contamination, and EPA is actively treating and monitoring the groundwater as part 

of the on-going Long-Term Response Action. However, in order for the remedy to be protective 

in the long-term, the institutional controls to prevent future groundwater use need to be in place 

to ensure long-term protectiveness. A preliminary assessment of the potential for vapor intrusion 

to present a threat at the Site was performed as part of this five-year review. There are no 

structures above areas of the plume that exceed vapor intrusion screening criteria so the pathway 

is not complete. Further investigations regarding the vapor intrusion pathway will be completed 

prior to the next five-year review. Further investigation regarding the vapor intrusion pathway 

will be completed on properties that are not subject to the partial deletion.

Since the completion of the five-year review, the institutional controls, in the form of restrictive 

environmental covenants, have been completed for the properties that will remain within the Site 

and the properties that are proposed for deletion. The only institutional controls that remain to 

be completed are for properties that are off-site. The groundwater under these remaining 

properties is not contaminated but a pumping well on these properties could cause the 

contaminated groundwater plume to expand. In addition, the properties proposed for deletion are 

not in the area where the vapor intrusion evaluation is being re-evaluated.

3. Partial Delisting

OSWER 9320.2-22, Close Out Procedures for National Priorities List Sites

Beginning in 1999, EPA adopted a streamlined approach to the process of deleting sites from the 

National Priorities List, called a Notice of Direct Final Action to Delete. With this approach, the 

Notice of Intent to Delete (NOID) and the Notice of Deletion (NOD) are published in the Federal 

Register on the same date. This combination of steps reduces the amount of time it takes to 

finalize a site deletion. Using this process, EPA will publish both a NOID and a Notice of Direct 

Final Action to Delete in the Federal Register. The Notice of Direct Final Action to Delete 

includes the statement that the direct final action will become effective unless EPA receives 

significant adverse or critical comments during the 30-day public comment period. If no 

significant adverse or critical comments are received, the deletion will become effective without 

any further EPA action and the site will be deleted from the NPL. Should significant adverse or 

critical comments be received within the comment period, EPA will publish a notice of 

withdrawal of the direct final rule, prepare a response to the comments received, and continue 

with the rulemaking process on the basis of the proposal to delete and the comments received.
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

NPL Deletion Criteria

Section 300.425(e) (1) of the NCP provides that releases may be deleted from the NPL where no 

further response is appropriate. In making a determination to delete a release from the NPL, 

EPA shall consider, in consultation with the State, whether any of the following criteria have 

been met:

i. responsible parties or other persons have implemented all appropriate response actions 

required;

ii. all appropriate Fund-financed (Hazardous Substance Superfund Response Trust Fund) 

response under CERCLA has been implemented, and no further response action by 

responsible parties is appropriate; or

iii. the remedial investigation has shown that the release poses no significant threat to 

public health or the environment and, therefore, the taking of remedial measures is not 

appropriate.

Even if a site is deleted from the NPL, where hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants 

remain at the deleted site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure, 

CERCLA section 121(c), 42 U.S.C. 9621(c) requires that a subsequent review of the site be 

conducted at least every five years after the initiation of the remedial action at the deleted site to 

ensure that the action remains protective of public health and the environment. If new 

information becomes available which indicates a need for further action, EPA may initiate 

remedial actions. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the 

deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking system.

4. Data to Support Partial De-listing:

The OU I Record of Decision documented that the soil, sediment, and surface water for the entire 

OU I area, including the properties proposed for deletion, do not represent an unacceptable threat 

to human health. The OUI Record of Decision identified groundwater as the only remaining 

threat to human health after the NTCRA. Groundwater discharge to surface water was the only 

ecological threat identified for the OUI. The supporting data for the characterization of the area 

to be delisted can be found in both the RI Report and NTCRA Documentation. The properties 

targeted for deletion at the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site do not contain soil or 

groundwater contamination above the Site-specific cleanup levels. These properties targeted for 

deletion and the properties that will remain within the Site boundaries are shown in Figure 11. 

Figure 11 also shows the current extent of groundwater contamination above Site-specific 

cleanup levels. Figure 12 shows the properties to be deleted along with the extent of the soil 

excavation as part of the NTCRA.

the Sebasticook River, Route 7, and Nokomis Road. The portions of Route 7 where groundwater 

contamination remains above Site -specific cleanup levels will also remain within the boundary 

of the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site.

4.3 Summary of Data Supporting Partial Deletion

The properties identified in the Town of Corinna subdivision plan as Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 

the portion of Subdivision Lot 1 north of the Central Maine Power property, the portion of Tax 

Map 18 Lot 54 not remaining with the Site boundary, along with Lot 53 on Tax Map 18 and the 

property owned by Central Maine Power were not within the areas where substantial 

contamination was located. These properties contained open space, the dry processing portions 

of the former Eastland Woolen Mill, and office space. The concrete foundation where the dry 

processing of the woolen products was conducted was referred to as the “Slab Area” in the RI 

and NTCRA. The Slab Area is shown on Figure 3.

As part of the OU1 RI, five confirmation soil borings (SB-00-95 through SB-00-99) were 

completed within Slab Area (see Figure 5-5 of the RI). One additional soil boring, (SB-01-106), 

was installed as part of the NTCRA by Weston in 2001. Table 5-3 of the RI provides a summary 

of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected in these Slab Area soil borings. Low levels of 

several VOCs were detected. The concentrations were below levels of concern for human 

contact. A monitoring well pair was installed to determine if the 1,1-dichloroethene detected in 

the soil was present in groundwater downgradient of the Slab area. VOCs were not detected in 

groundwater downgradient of the Slab are confirming that this area was not a significant source 

of groundwater contamination.

The slab was not removed until after the ex-situ soil treatment phase of the NTCRA. Prior to the 

removal of the concrete pad, one sample was collected per 500 ft2 using an excavator bucket to 

access the soil located below the concrete pad. A few areas with petroleum contamination were 

identified and these soils were removed to allow for Site restoration. A total of 176 samples 

were collected prior to concrete pad removal. A map showing the locations of these samples is 

presented in Figure 17 of Appendix J in the November 2006 Final Overall Completion Report 

for the NTCRA, and analytical results are presented in Table 27 of this report. All of the results 

from these initial 176 samples collected prior to the concrete pad removal confirmed that the soil 

concentrations were below the Site-specific cleanup levels. An additional five locations were 

sampled and characterized during concrete pad and footer wall removal due to staining or 

suspected contamination in the soil. Samples were analyzed for VOCs, DRO, polychlorinated 

biphenyls and/or metals based on the type and location of the staining. A summary of analytical 

results is shown in Table 28 of Appendix J in the November 2006 Final Overall Completion 
Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

21

Report for the NTCRA, and sample locations are shown in Figure 18 of this report. Three of 

these locations contained Diesel Range Organic contamination. The contamination was removed 

because the soil was in an areas where grading was necessary.

In addition to the Slab Area, portions of the properties to be deleted were also used to store 

contaminated soil in a stockpile prior to treatment. After completion of the treatment of the 

contaminated soil 22 soil samples were collected below the contaminated soil stockpile to verify 

that the soil did not contain the COCs at levels above the site cleanup levels. A map detailing 

sample locations within the stockpile footprint is shown in Figure 16 of Appendix J in the 

November 2006 Final Overall Completion Report for the NTCRA. The analytical results for all 

samples collected from the below the stockpile footprint are presented in Table 26 of this report. 

Sample location 21, initially sampled on 9 October 2003, showed 1,2,4-TCB at levels above the 

project soil excavation goal of 5,000 microgram per kilogram (μg/kg). Therefore, a 6-inch layer 

of soil was removed from this grid of the stockpile footprint and processed through the LTTT 

system. A subsequent sample of this location was collected on 10 October 2003. Results from 

this sample were well below Site-specific cleanup levels.

In summary, the Town of Corinna subdivision lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, the portion of 

Subdivision Lot 1 north of the Central Maine Power property, the portion of Tax Map 18 Lot 54 

that is not remaining within the Site boundary, along with the property identified at Map 18 Lot 

53 (Winchester Park) and the property owned by Central Maine Power were evaluated during the 

RI and NTCRA activities. The RI documented that the area was not a substantial threat to 

groundwater. The NTCRA sampling further documented that these properties do not contain soil 

contamination above the Site-specific cleanup levels. 

Portions of the property owned by the State of Maine Department of Transportation, State of 

Maine Department of Conservation, and the Town of Corinna property described in Quitclaim 

Deed dated August 18, 1997 and recorded in Book 6471, Page 278, also identified as Lot 118 in 

Tax Map 18 dated 2012 were within the area subject to the excavation of contaminated soil and 

sediment as part of the NTCRA. 

A portion of the State of Maine Department of Conservation property crossed the former 

Eastland Woolen Mill property near the area known as the pump house. The soil excavation and 

cleanup confirmation for this area can be found in Appendix H of the November 2006 Final 

Overall Completion Report for the NTCRA. Appendix H is titled: Areas 1 and 4 Soil 

Remediation and River Restoration Final Completion Report, Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund 

Site, Corinna, Maine, February 2004. Figures 2a-3b and Tables B-6 and B-7 document that the 

cleanup was successful for these properties.

A portion of the State of Maine Department of Transportation property that is proposed for delisting was within the Area 1 excavation area. The soil excavation and cleanup confirmation for 

this area can be found in Appendix H of the November 2006 Final Overall Completion Report 

for the NTCRA. Appendix H is titled: Areas 1 and 4 Soil Remediation and River Restoration 

Final Completion Report, Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site, Corinna, Maine, February 

2004. Figures 4a-4b and Tables B-9 document that the cleanup was successful for these

Eastland Woolen Mill Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum

A portion of the State of Maine Department of Transportation, State of Maine Department of 

Conservation, and Town of Corinna property properties included the East Branch of the 

Sebasticook River. Appendix G in the November 2006 Final Overall Completion Report for the 

NTCRA documents the excavation and cleanup confirmation activities for these areas. 

Appendix G is titled: Areas 2, 3, 4 – Lot 88, and 4 – Building 4 Soil Remediation Final 

Completion Report, Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site, Corinna, Maine, June 2001.

Specifically, Figures A-3A through A-4B and Tables B-7 and B-8 of Appendix G show the 

location and data which document that the cleanup was successful for these properties.

In summary, the property owned by the State of Maine Department of Conservation and the 

Town of Corinna property described in Quitclaim Deed dated August 18, 1997 and recorded in 

Book 6471, Page 278, also identified as Lot 118 in Tax Map 18 dated 2004 that are proposed for 

deletion no longer contain contamination above the Site-specific cleanup levels as documented 

by the completion report for the NTCRA. In addition, the State of Maine Department of 

Transportation property proposed for deletion no longer contains soil or groundwater 

contamination above Site-specific cleanup levels. 

The portions of the State of Maine Department of Transportation property where groundwater 

contamination remains above Site-specific cleanup levels will remain within the boundary of the 

Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site. The portion includes the portion bounded by Town of 

Corinna Subdivision Plan Lot 1; the East Branch of the Sebasticook River, Route 7, and 

Nokomis Road along with the portions of Route 7 that contains soil or groundwater 

contamination above Site-specific cleanup levels.

5. Conclusion

This Partial Deletion Technical Memorandum for the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site 

summaries the information that is available in the Federal Docket for the partial deletion action. 

This Technical Memorandum presents the Figure showing the area subject to the deletion action 

(Figure 11) along with the area to remain within the boundaries of the Eastland Woolen Mill 

Superfund Site (Figure 11). EPA has determined that all appropriate Fund-financed (Hazardous 

Substance Superfund Response Trust Fund) response under CERCLA has been implemented, 

and no further response action by responsible parties is appropriate for the properties or portions 

of properties subject to the deletion action. The institutional controls for these properties are in 

place. In addition, groundwater monitoring and Site inspections associated with the area that 

will remain within the boundary of the Eastland Woolen Mill Site will support the five-year 

reviews to confirm that the Site response actions are protective of public health and the 

environment.
