Background and Purpose 

Passage Island is located in the 

northwestern reaches of Lake Superior, 

about 60 miles north of Michigan’s 

Keweenaw Peninsula, 22 miles east of 

Grand Portage, Minnesota, and 35 miles 

south of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The 

USCG Passage Island Light Station is 

located on Passage Island, three and one 

quarter miles off the northeastern tip of 

Isle Royale in Lake Superior, within the 

Isle Royale National Park. Congress 

designated about 99 percent of Isle 

Royale National Park as Wilderness in 

1976. In addition, Isle Royale was 

designated a U.S. Biosphere Reserve by 

the United Nations Educational, 

Scientific, and Cultural Organization 

(UNESCO) in 1980. 

The USCG lighthouse and associated 

facilities are located on the 

southernmost portion of Passage Island, 

Section 9, T67N R32W, Houghton 

Township, Keweenaw County, 

Michigan. Areas of petroleum and 

metals impacted soils from Light Station 

activities occupy approximately 0.25 

acres of the 6.3-acre site. In accordance 

with Part 201, Environmental 

Remediation, of the Natural Resources 

and Environmental Protection Act 

(NREPA) of 1994, as amended 

(Michigan Part 201), the Michigan 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(MDEQ) requires that the environmental 

impacts associated with former 

operations at the site be investigated 

and mitigated. 

The USCG performed a Phase I 

Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) 

in 1997. The Phase I ESA identified 

possible sources of environmental 

impact and recommended a Site 

Investigation (SI) be performed to 

characterize and delineate the potential 

sources. The USCG performed an SI at 

the Passage Island Light Station in 2001. 

Based on the results of the SI, the USCG 

concluded that petroleum and metals 

impacted soils exist at concentrations in 

excess of the Residential Criteria 

established under the Michigan Part 

201. The impacted area is 

approximately 8,000 square feet. The 

depth of impact is approximately 6 

inches and the volume of impacted soil 

is approximately 150 cubic yards. In 

order to mitigate environmental and 

human health impacts of the impacted 

soils, the USCG proposes remedial 

actions for the site. 

NEPA Requirements and Proposed Soil 

Remediation Project Description 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (Section 102(2)(c)), as 

implemented by the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

Order 5610.C (Procedures for 

Considering Environmental Impacts), 

and USCG Policy (NEPA: Implementing 

Procedures and Policy for Considering 

Environmental Impacts, COMDTINST 

M16475.1D (Commandant’s 

Instruction)), the USCG intends to 

prepare an EA. The purpose of the EA 

is to develop an approach and direction 

for implementing a petroleum and 

metals impacted soil remedial project 

for the impacted area at Passage Island 

Light Station. Following completion of 

the EA, the USCG will either file a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) or prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. 

NEPA requires Federal agencies to 

consider all significant aspects of 

environmental impacts that may result 

from a proposed action, to inform the 

public of potential impacts and 

alternatives, including the no action 

alternative, and to facilitate public 

involvement in the assessment process. 

The core of our impact assessment 

process is our EA. The EA will include, 

among other topics, discussions of the 

purpose and need for the proposed 

action, a description of alternatives, a 

description of the affected environment, 

and an evaluation of the environmental 

impacts of the proposed action and 

alternatives. To date, the USCG has 

identified the following alternatives for 

analysis in the EA: 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices 65925 

• Excavation and re-contouring (no 

backfill) with off-site disposal as 

hazardous waste; restricted site closure; 

• Excavation and re-contouring (no 

backfill) with on-site stabilization of 

contaminated soil and off-site disposal 

of stabilized soil as non-hazardous 

waste; restricted site closure; and, 

• No Action (Status Quo). 

The USCG-preferred remedial action 

method involves excavation of 

contaminated soil using a vacuum truck 

located on a barge in Lake Superior, 

adjacent to the excavation area. Soils 

would be loosened with hand tools and 

then vacuumed up. Field screening 

would be conducted using hand-held xray fluorescence (XRF) equipment to 

assess the excavation extents for the 

metals-impacted soil. A photoionization 

detector (PID) would be used to assess 

the excavation extents for the 

petroleum-impacted soil. Confirmatory 

soil samples would be collected from 

the sidewalls and floor of the excavation 

to ensure that soil impacted at 

concentrations exceeding levels 

approved by Michigan Department of 

Environmental Quality (Michigan 

Residential Criteria or a Calculated SiteSpecific Criteria) has been removed. At 

the request of the National Park Service 

(NPS), backfill material would not be 

brought on-site due to concerns 

regarding introduction of non-native 

and invasive species. Site restoration 

would include smoothing out the sides 

of the excavations and ensuring proper 

drainage and protection of structure 

foundations. Contaminated soil would 

be directly transferred to containers on 

a barge as the soil is vacuumed up. The 

containerized soil would then be 

transported by barge to Duluth, 

Minnesota, where it will be loaded onto 

trucks. The trucks would transport the 

soil to an approved Type I hazardous 

waste Treatment-Storage-Disposal 

Facility (TSDF). Due to the high lead 

levels, the soil would be treated at the 

landfill via stabilization to meet the 

Toxicity Characteristic Leaching 

Procedure (TCLP) standards prior to 

disposal. The proposed TSDF and 

disposal facility for hazardous soil is 

either Onyx Special Services in 

Menominee Falls, WI or EQ in 

Belleville, MI. The USCG would need to 

comply with the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(USEPA) Resources Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA) large quantity 

generator requirements, which include 

payment of fees and filing necessary 

reports. In addition, due to disposal of 

hazardous waste, the USCG could be 

placed on the Hazardous Waste 

Compliance Docket and the site could 

potentially be listed as a National 

Priorities List (NPL) site. A deed 

restriction would be placed on the 

property to limit use. Groundwater use 

would be restricted and the current 

recreational land use and zoning would 

be maintained. 

In addition to the USCG preferred 

method described above, one alternative 

remedial action method under 

consideration would include 

contaminated soil excavation, on-site 

soil stabilization and off-site disposal as 

a non-hazardous waste. This alternative 

would include using a vacuum truck 

located on a barge in Lake Superior, 

adjacent to the excavation area. Soils 

would be loosened with hand tools and 

then vacuumed up. Field screening 

would be conducted using hand-held 

XRF equipment to assess the excavation 

extents for the metals-impacted soil. A 

PID would be used to assess the 

excavation extents for the petroleumimpacted soil. Confirmatory soil 

samples would be collected from the 

sidewalls and floor of the excavation to 

ensure that soil impacted at 

concentrations exceeding the Michigan 

Residential Criteria or Calculated SiteSpecific Criteria (if approved by 

Michigan Department of Environmental 

Quality) has been removed. At the 

request of the NPS, backfill material 

would not be brought on-site due to 

concerns regarding introduction of nonnative and invasive species. Site 

restoration would include smoothing 

out the sides of the excavations and 

ensuring proper drainage and protection 

of structure foundations. Soil would be 

mixed with a stabilizing agent prior to 

transportation to a dock in Duluth, 

Minnesota. The soil would then be 

transported to a non-hazardous waste 

disposal facility. The proposed nonhazardous waste disposal facility is 

K&W located in Ontonagon, MI. A deed 

restriction would be placed on the 

property to limit use. Groundwater use 

would be restricted and the current 

recreational land use and zoning would 

be maintained. 

Due to NEPA requirements and the 

sensitive nature of the sub-Arctic 

environment and presence of listed 

plant species at Passage Island Light 

Station, the no action alternative is also 

being considered in lieu of performing 

a soil removal for remedial action. The 

MDEQ does not support this alternative 

as the soil contamination at the site is 

seen as a threat to humans and water 

resources. 

Several other remedial alternatives 

have been considered and will be 

discussed briefly in the EA due to their 

limited applicability at the site in 

question. These alternatives include the 

following: 

• Hot spot removal; 

• Soil stabilization; 

• Phytoremediation; 

• Heap leaching; 

• Soil capping/engineered barrier; 

• Soil washing; 

• Groundwater surface water 

interface (GSI) and drinking water 

pathway elimination and no further 

action; 

• Risk Assessment and no further 

action; 

• State listed/threatened/species of 

concern plant species relocation 

(combined with other alternatives). 

EA Issues 

Issues that the USCG has identified 

for analysis to date include the effects 

of the remediation project alternatives 

on the following resources: 

• Land Use (Recreation) and 

Aesthetics; 

• Historic and Cultural Properties; 

• Vegetation, Wildlife, Threatened 

and Endangered Species; 

• Water Quality; 

• Human Health; 

• Air Quality; 

• Soil Depletion and Regeneration; 

• Noise; 

• Transportation (Shipping and 

Boating); and, 

• Generation of Hazardous Materials 

and Waste. 

Cultural Resources 

The USCG Passage Island Light 

Station was established by Executive 

Order in 1871, and remaining structures 

at the site date back to 1882. The 

Passage Island Light Station is eligible 

for listing on the National Register of 

Historic Places. In August 2004, a Phase 

I archaeological cultural resource survey 

was conducted for the Passage Island 

Light Station site. Based on a Phase I 

survey program that combined archival 

research with pedestrian reconnaissance 

and subsurface testing, it has been 

determined that there are no significant 

prehistoric or historic resources within 

the 0.25-acre study area. This survey 

was submitted to the Michigan State 

Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) 

along with the required documentation 

for a project review for the proposed soil 

remediation work. The Michigan SHPO 

determined that the proposed action 

will have no adverse effect on historic 

and cultural resources at the site as long 

as the USCG ensures that structures are 

not damaged during clean up activities 

and proper grading is achieved. 

Natural Resources 

Topographically, the Passage Island 

Light Station area is similar to the 

nearby Isle Royale. Elevations range 

65926 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices 

from 620 to 640 feet above mean sea 

level or approximately 20 to 40 feet 

above the immediately adjacent Lake 

Superior (600 feet above mean sea 

level). The light station area is located 

at the crest of a bedrock outcrop, 

bounded on the south, east, and west by 

wave-cut exposures leading down to 

Lake Superior, and to the north by 

forested portions of the island. Soils 

have developed, accumulated, or been 

placed in general proximity to the 

various Light Station structures and in 

low areas between bedrock exposures. 

Vegetation in the Light Station vicinity 

is limited to grasses, weeds, and few 

small woody shrubs. No Federally listed 

plant or animal species have been 

identified. Specimens of one State 

Threatened plant species, prickly 

saxifrage (Saxifraga tricuspidata), are 

located in the vicinity of the Light 

Station, but outside of the 

contamination footprint. The USCG has 

obtained Michigan Department of 

Natural Resources (MDNR) Permit 

#1615 for the take of this State 

Threatened Species if necessary to 

perform the clean up work. Specimens 

of twisted whitlow grass (Draba 

arabisans), a State Species of Concern, 

are located within the contamination 

footprint. According to MDNR, there are 

no legal obligations to protect a State 

Listed Special Concern plant species.
