Evaluated
The
air
migration,
groundwater
migration,
and
soil
exposure
pathways
were
not
scored
in
this
documentation
record,
because
these
pathways
are
not
expected
to
contribute
significantly
to
the
overall
site
score
for
the
United
Metals,
Inc.
site.
Groundwater
samples
were
collected
from
on­
site
monitoring
wells,
and
an
observed
release
to
groundwater
has
been
documented;
however,
because
of
low
targets,
the
groundwater
migration
pathway
was
not
scored.
No
air
samples
have
been
collected
to
document
a
release
to
ambient
air.
Extensive
surficial
contamination
exists
throughout
the
facility,
but
no
resident
targets
have
been
identified
for
the
soil

pathway.

is
located
approximately
2.5
miles
south
of
Interstate
10
and
about
1,000
feet
east
of
State
Road
71
in
Marianna,
Jackson
County,
Florida.
The
geographical
coordinates
are
latitude
30°
41'09"
north
and
longitude
85°
10'05"
west
(Refs.
3;

The
UMI
facility
is
an
abandoned
used
battery
reclaiming
facility.
The
facility
is
about
180
acres,
of
which
about
24
acres
are
enclosed
by
a
chain­
link
fence;
facility
operations
occurred
in
this
portion
of
the
site
(Refs.

A
gravel
driveway
from
State
Road
71,
located
at
the
western
edge
of
the
site,
is
the
main
entrance
to
the
UMI
property
(Refs.
6,
p.
1;
7,
p.
6;
8,
p.

Five
free­
standing
buildings
are
located
within
the
fenced
portion
of
the
site.
On
the
northern
side
of
the
entrance
gate
is
a
fabricated
metal,
concrete­
floored
office
and
warehouse
building
that
consists
of
separate
office
and
storage
areas.
This
building
is
vacant,
except
for
several
battery
chargers
mounted
on
the
western
wall.
The
concrete
located
under
the
battery
chargers
is
etched
and
eroded.
A
truck
weighing
scale
is
located
outside
of
the
office
at
the
entrance
gate.
On
the
southern
side
of
the
entrance
gate
is
a
concrete
block
building
called
the
"health
center"
that
previously
contained
the
employee
decontamination
and
dressing
room.
Located
east
of
the
office
building
is
a
vehicular
maintenance
building
called
the
"truck
shop"
that
consists
of
a
metal
siding­
covered
storage
room
and
an
open­
air
bay
area
that
includes
a
concrete­
lined
grease
pit.
The
storage
room
and
bay
area
are
empty;
the
grease
pit
is
filled
partially
with
oily
water.
No
evidence
is
present
that
a
waste
oil
tank
or
other
receptacle
for
containing
wastes
were
used
at
the
maintenance
building
(Refs.
6,
p.
3;
7,
p.
2;
8,
p.

Located
east
of
the
vehicular
maintenance
building,
in
the
central
portion
of
the
fenced
area,
is
the
former
battery
recycling
operations
building.
The
recycling
operations
building
is
a
2­
acre,
open­
air
metal
building
with
a
concrete
floor,
divided
into
two
sections.
The
older,
northern
portion
of
the
structure
includes
the
main
recycling
facility,
where
batteries
were
received,
components
sorted,
and
all
wastewater
generated
and
treated.
The
southern
portion
of
the
structure
was
used
for
material
storage;
this
section
is
empty
except
for
a
pile
of
potentially
contaminated
soil
and
sediment
removed
from
on­
site
drainage
ditches
and
a
holding
pond.
All
of
the
usable
equipment
and
material
involved
in
the
process
have
been
salvaged
from
the
building.
Concrete
bin
blocks,
a
series
of
settling
basins
partially
filled
with
water,
several
large
tanks
once
used
for
neutralizing
and
storing
wastewater,
and
a
large
concrete
washdown
area
remain
in
the
production
area
of
the
structure
(Refs.
7,
pp.
6,
8;
8,
p.
2;
11,
pp.
1,
2).

Located
south
of
the
recycling
operations
building
is
a
plastics
storage
and
processing
building
(plastic
pellet
plant)
and
attached
silos
that
are
constructed
of
metal
siding
and
a
raised
concrete
floor.
The
building
was
used
as
the
final
processing
and
storage
site
for
plastic
battery
casing
chips
that
were
sent
off
site
for
recycling.
A
second
pile
of
potentially
contaminated
soil
and
sediment
and
a
pile
of
black
plastic
tubing
scrap
are
present
in
the
building.
Two
backfilled,
unlined
holding
ponds
are
located
east
of
the
recycling
building.
The
holding
ponds
formerly
received
wastewater
from
the
recycling
operations
building.
The
primary
holding
pond
is
approximately
0.66
acre
and
is
located
between
the
recycling
building
and
the
second
holding
pond.
The
second
holding
pond
is
approximately
0.61
acre,
reportedly
was
never
used,
and
was
originally
constructed
to
provide
backup
capacity.
The
primary
holding
pond
received
treated
and
possibly
untreated
wastewater
from
the

Near
the
recycling
building,
the
ditch
is
lined
with
concrete
for
a
few
feet.
Dredged
sediments
from
the
holding
ponds
was
stored
in
two
concrete­
lined
pits
located
south
of
the
plastic
pellet
plant,
but
the
sediment
pile
was
moved
to
its
current
location
at
the
southern
portion
of
the
recycling
building
and
within
the
plastic

The
fenced
area
is
unpaved,
with
areas
partially
covered
with
grass
and
weeds
and
areas
that
are
bare
and
sandy
with
no
vegetation.
Areas
near
the
production
building
are
partially
barren
and
are
partially
covered
with
plastic
chips
and
other
residue
from
the
battery
recycling
building.
A
large,
agricultural
field
is
located
north
of
the
fenced
area,
and
mixed
woodlands
are
located
on
the
east,
south,
and
west
of
the
fenced
area.
The
nearest
residence
to
the
fenced
area
is
a
farmhouse,
located
about
1,600
feet
to
the
northwest
(Refs.
3;
7,
pp.
8,
9;
8,
p.
5).

Construction
of
the
battery
recycling
facility
began
in
September
1979,
and
plant
operations
began
in
November
1979.
The
president
of
the
company
when
operations
began
was
Howard
Odom.
In
1981,
UMI
processed
10,000
to
12,000
batteries
per
week,
resulting
in
2,500
gallons
of
acidic
wastes
per
day.
Primarily
lead­
acid
batteries
and
nickel
cadmium
batteries
were
recycled
by
UMI.
Batteries
were
offloaded
at
a
loading
dock,
located
at
the
northwestern
side
of
the
recycling
building
and
onto
a
conveyor
belt.
The
conveyor
belt
delivered
the
batteries
to
a
water­
cooled
saw
used
to
cut
the
tops
off
of
the
batteries.
Removed
battery
tops
were
dismantled
and
the
plastic
battery
cases
were
separated
from
the
lead
plates,
then
crushed
and
pelletized.
Lead
oxide,
posts,
and
miscellaneous
parts
were
separated
from
the
crushed
casings.
Lead
components
and
lead
oxide
were
transported
off
site
to
a
smelter,
and
the
plastic
pellets
were
transported
to
an
extruding
facility
(Refs.
7,
p.
9;
8,
p.
5;
9,
pp.
3,
4;
14,
p.
11;
15,
p.
1).

Liquid
from
the
batteries
was
deposited
into
a
settling
basin
and
flowed
through
a
channel
in
the
floor
to
the
concrete
basins.
In
the
concrete
basins,
the
wastewater
was
neutralized
with
lime
and
lead
oxide
residues
were
precipitated
for
reclamation.
The
wastewater
flowed
from
the
basins
through
the
ditch
to
the
unlined
primary
holding
pond;
the
wastewater
system
eventually
was
modified
so
that
wastewater
was
stored
in
tanks,
neutralized,
and
recycled
in
the
plant
process
to
eliminate
discharge
to
the
holding
ponds.
The
wastewater
system
modification
also
included
covering
the
entire
battery
recycling
building
floor
with
stainless­
steel
sheeting.
It
is
reported
that
the
holding
pond
received
processed
wastewater
for
at
least
4
months
and
possibly
more
than
16
months.
The
holding
ponds
eventually
were
abandoned;
pond
sediments
were
dredged,
excavated,
and
stockpiled
on
site;
and
the
ponds
were
backfilled
(Refs.
7,
p.
9;
8,
pp.

through
12;
15,
p.

UMI
applied
to
the
Florida
Department
of
Environmental
Regulation
(FDER)
for
a
permit
to
construct
holding
ponds
on
June
17,
1980.
The
permit
application
indicated
that
the
holding
ponds
already
had
been
constructed
and
were
in
use
and
stated
that
a
permit
application
was
filed
in
order
to
determine
the
necessity
for
a
permit
(Ref.
19,
pp.
1,
11).
On
March
11,
1980,
an
inspection
of
the
facility
by
FDER
noted
that
the
holding
ponds
were
not
in
use
and
process
water
was
being
recycled;
however,
other
file
material
indicates
that
the
ponds
received
wastewater
as
late
as
March
1981
(Ref.
7,
p.
9).
The
holding
ponds
were
acceptable
at
the
time
of
construction
and
applicable
hazardous
waste
regulations
SD­
General
Site
Description
16
were
not
in
effect
at
that
time
(Refs.
7,
pp.
6,
7;
20,
p.
3).
Mr.
Odom
filed
a
Notification
of
Hazardous
Waste
Activity
with
EPA
in
August
1980
(Ref.
21).

In
August
1981,
UMI
and
FDER
entered
into
a
Consent
Order
that
required
several
actions
by
UMI,
including
a
payment
of
a
$500
fine;
submittal
of
a
detailed
and
comprehensive
plan
evaluating
the
wastewater
system;
identification
of
environmental
problems,
and
proposal
of
corrective
action;
submittal
of
a
construction
application
for
the
proposed
modifications;
completion
of
construction
within
specified
time;
and
within
120
days
of
construction
completion,
submittal
of
an
operating
permit
application
to
FDER
(Ref.
22,
pp.
1
through
6).

A
Comprehensive
Plan
was
developed
by
UMI
and
presented
to
FDER
in
October
1982.
The
plan
contained
the
following
measures
that
UMI
would
accomplish
in
order
to
comply
with
the
Consent
Order:
removal
of
contaminated
sediment
from
the
holding
ponds
and
ditches
along
the
entrance
driveway
and
State
Route
71
right­
of­
way;
completion
of
a
limited
groundwater
assessment,
including
the
installation
of
monitoring
wells
and
implementation
of
a
monitoring
program;
and
development
of
a
closed
wastewater
system,
including
a
clarifier
and
pH
control
measures
scheduled
to
begin
in
June
1983(
Ref.
23,
pp.
16,
27,
28,
29).

In
March
1984,
FDER
issued
UMI
Permit
No.
I032­
68020
to
operate
a
closed­
loop
wastewater
treatment
facility
to
process
wastewater
generated
in
the
recycling
of
batteries,
lead,
and
plastic
by
using
lead
removal
and
either
acid
neutralization
and
reuse
of
the
wastewater
in
plant
processes
or
recovery
of
acid
for
resale
as
a
product.
The
permit
was
issued
to
UMI
on
March
2,
1984,
with
an
expiration
date
of
March
1,
1987
(Ref.
24).

The
EPA
conducted
a
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(RCRA)
Program
inspection
of
the
UMI
facility
in
July
1986.
Numerous
violations
were
noted,
including
improper
closure
of
the
holding
ponds
subsequent
to
sediment
removal,
improper
storage
of
hazardous
wastes,
improper
groundwater
monitoring,
and
operation
without
appropriate
permits
for
hazardous
waste
storage
and
treatment.
As
a
result
of
the
findings,
EPA
issued
an
Amended
Complaint
and
Compliance
Order
(Refs.
18,
pp.
1
through
34;
25,
pp.
1
through
15).

The
UMI
facility
was
purchased
by
Herb
Eisenstadter
and
Michael
Chen
of
Taiwan,
and
a
partnership
was
established
to
form
Anrich
Industries,
Inc.(
Anrich).
Subsequent
to
the
purchase
of
the
facility
property,
Anrich
renovated
the
site
and
began
battery
cracking
operations
in
May
1991
(Ref.
7,
p.
7;
26,
p.
2;
27;
28).
On
May
22,
1991,
the
Florida
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
(FDEP)
conducted
a
Hazardous
Waste
Inspection
of
the
facility.
Several
RCRA
violations
were
noted,
including
the
operation
of
a
hazardous
waste
pile
without
a
permit
and
the
transport
of
hazardous
wastes
to
Taiwan
without
complying
with
certain
RCRA
record
keeping
requirements
(Refs.
7,
p.
7;
29;
30;
31).
Anrich
was
ordered
by
FDEP
to
cease
operations
at
the
facility
in
June
1991
(Refs.
7,
p.
7;
32,
p.
1).
The
facility
is
not
currently
regulated
under
RCRA
(Ref.
46)

After
several
attempts
to
resolve
violations
at
the
facility
with
the
present
owners
or
corporate
officers
in
1992,
FDEP
filed
a
complaint
for
injunctive
relief
and
civil
penalties
and
costs
in
the
Jackson
County
Circuit
Court
(Fourteenth
District).
Because
Anrich
was
unable
to
comply
with
the
corrective
actions
noted
in
the
complaint,
the
facility's
equipment
was
sold
and
profits

were
deposited
in
the
Registry
of
the
Jackson

Court,
pursuant
to
a
Court
Order
(Refs.

In
January
1981,
UMI
collected
surface
water
and
sediment
samples
from
the
primary
holding
pond.

material
does
not
indicate
who
collected
the
surface

was
conducted
by
ABB
in
December
1994.
During
the

from
the
wetland
area
located
west
of
the

According
to
a
report
prepared
by
PRC
Environmental
Management,
Inc.,
in
March
1996,
the
EPA
Region
4
Technical
Assistance
Team
(TAT)
conducted
a
site
investigation
at
the
facility
property
in
March
1994.
Reportedly,
TAT
later
returned
to
the
property
in
June
1995,
and
developed
a
complete
inventory
of
all
hazardous
materials
contained
on
the
property.
TAT
collected
samples
from
two
tanks,
a
sump,
and
six
drums,
and
TAT's
subcontracted
laboratory
analyzed
them
for
the
following
compounds:
Toxicity
Characteristic

(TCLP)
metals,
TCLP
volatile
organic
compounds,
and
TCLP
extractable
compounds
(Refs.

The
EPA
Region
4
Removal
Assessment
Team
conducted
a
site
visit
at
UMI
from
March
13
through
March
15,
1995,
to
determine
UMI's
eligibility
for
a
removal
action.
EPA
collected
six
surface
soil,
four
waste
samples
from
55­
gallon
drums
and
three
storage
tanks,
and
two
water
samples
to
identify
the
nature
and
extent
of
contamination,
and
to
identify
the
immediate
threat
to
the
public
and
environment.
Lead
was
detected
in
the
soil
samples
collected,
and
the
waste
in
the
drums
was
determined
to
be
a
flammable
liquid.
In
addition,
a
larger,
onsite
storage
tank
was
determined
to
contain
about
800
gallons
of
sulfuric
acid.
EPA
recommended
that
a
limited
removal
of
the
containers
and
their
contents
be
conducted
at
UMI
(Refs.
34,
p.
4;
35).

On
January
23,
1996,
EPA
returned
to
the
facility
to
begin
removal
activities
of
the
containers
on
site.
OHM
Remediation
Services,
Inc
(OHM),
was
selected
by
EPA
as
the
removal
contractor
under
the
Emergency
Response
Contractor
Services
Program
(Ref.
34,
p.
4).
In
March
1996,
EPA
returned
to
the
facility
to
complete
removal
activities.
Five
drums
of
hazardous
materials
were
recontainerized
and
disposed
of
according
to
all
regulatory
guidelines.
A
sulfuric
acid
tank
was
dismantled,
and
its
contents
were
treated
on
the
facility
property
by
OHM
prior
to
shipment
to
an
appropriate
landfill
(Ref.
34,
pp.
7
through

Runoff
from
UMI
tends
to
flow
radially
from
the
battery
recycling
building,
because
it
was
constructed
originally
above
grade.
Surface
water
runoff
is
then
directed
toward
the
west
or
south
(Refs.
3;
8,
pp.
9,
22).
The
west
and
south
surface
water
migration
routes
comprise
two
separate
watersheds
for
HRS
scoring
purposes
because
there
is
no
apparent
perennial
or
other
HRS­
qualifying
water
body
connection
between
the
two
routes
within
the
15­
mile
target
distance
limit
(Ref
51,
p.
204).

Watershed
1
Surface
water
runoff
directed
towards
the
west
flows
into
a
ditch
located
near
the
entrance
gate.
The
ditch
parallels
the
entrance
driveway
and
drains
west
toward
State
Route
71.
A
culvert
is
located
beneath
the
road
and
drains
the
ditch
into
a
wooded
wetland.
The
confluence
of
the
ditch
and
the
wooded
wetland
is
the
probable
point
of
entry
(PPE)
to
the
surface
water
pathway
in­
water
route
for
this
watershed
and
is
located
about
500
feet
south­
southwest
of
the
entrance
drive
(Refs.
8,
p.
22;
39,
p.
15;
51,
pp.
204
through
208).
Contiguous
wetlands
connect
the
wooded
wetland
to
a
perennial
stream
(an
unnamed
tributary
to
Chipola
River),
which
then
flows
into
to
the
Chipola
River,
located
about
8,800
stream
feet
(1.7
miles)
west
of
the
former
facility.
HRS­
eligible
wetlands
continuously
line
the
in­
water
route
from
the
PPE
to
the
Chipola
River
(Refs.
3;
38).
The
15­
mile
target
distance
limit
for
the
watershed
is
completed
in
the
Chipola
River
(Refs.
3;
8,
pp.
9,
22).
The
Chipola
River
has
a
net
average
annual
flow
rate
of
1,502
cubic
feet
per
second
(cfs)
(Ref.
40,
p.
104).

Watershed
2
Surface
water
runoff,
directed
south­
southeast
of
the
facility,
flows
into
an
intermittent
stream
that
is
located
along
the
south­
southeastern
boundary
of
the
facility.
This
intermittent
stream
discharges
to
a
series
of
interconnected,
wooded
wetlands.
Because
UMI
is
located
in
Marianna,
Florida,
which
has
an
average
annual
precipitation
of
about
54
inches,
the
intermittent
stream
is
not
considered
to
be
part
of
the
in­
water
surface
water
migration
pathway
(Refs.
50;
51,
p.
208).
Therefore,
the
confluence
of
the
intermittent
stream
and
the
interconnected
wooded
wetlands
comprises
the
PPE
for
this
watershed.
Surface
water
then
flows
through
the
wooded
wetlands
to
an
intermittent
stream
that
discharges
into
a
sinkhole
pond
about
1,600
feet
(0.3
mile)
west
of
State
Route
71
(Ref.
3).

As

The
former
UMI
facility
was
a
used
battery
reclaiming
facility,
with
plant
operations
beginning
in
November
1979.
In
1981,
the
facility
processed
10,000
to
12,000
batteries
per
week,
resulting
in
2,500
gallons
of
acidic
wastes
per
day.
Primarily
lead­
acid
batteries
and
nickel
cadmium
batteries
were
recycled
by
the
facility.
Batteries
were
offloaded
at
a
loading
dock
located
at
the
northwestern
side
of
the
recycling
building
onto
a
conveyor
belt.
The
conveyor
belt
delivered
the
batteries
to
a
water­
cooled
saw
used
to
cut
the
tops
off
of
the
batteries.
Removed
battery
tops
were
dismantled,
and
the
plastic
battery
cases
were
separated
from
the
lead
plates,
then
crushed
and
pelletized.
Lead
oxide,
posts,
and
miscellaneous
parts
were
separated
from
the
crushed
casings.
Lead
components
and
lead
oxide
were
transported
by
truck
to
a
smelter,
and
the
plastic
pellets
were
transported
to
an
extruding
facility
(Refs.
7,
pp.
6,
9;
8,
p.
5;
9,
pp.
3,
4;
10,
pp.
9,
11
;
14,
p.
11).

Liquid
from
the
batteries
was
deposited
into
a
reservoir
and
flowed
through
a
channel
in
the
floor
to
the
concrete
basins.
In
the
concrete
basins,
the
wastewater
was
neutralized
with
lime
and
lead
oxide
residues
were
precipitated
for
reclamation.
The
wastewater
flowed
from
the
basins
through
the
ditch
to
the
unlined,
primary
holding
pond;
the
wastewater
system
eventually
was
modified
so
that
wastewater
was
stored
in
tanks,
neutralized,
and
recycled
in
the
plant
process
to
eliminate
discharge
to
the
holding
ponds.
The
holding
ponds
eventually
were
abandoned;
pond
sediments
were
dredged,
excavated,
and
stockpiled
onsite;
and
the
ponds
were
backfilled
(Refs.
7,
p.
9;
8,
pp.
5,
6;
10,
pp.
9
through
13;

p.

18,
p.

EPA
conducted
a
RCRA
Program
inspection
of
the
facility
in
1986.
Numerous
violations
were
noted,
including
improper
closure
of
the
holding
ponds
subsequent
to
sediment
removal,
improper
storage
of
hazardous
wastes,
improper
groundwater
monitoring,
and
operation
without
appropriate
permits
for
hazardous
waste
storage
and
treatment.
The
facility
was
sold
and
purchased
by
Herb
Eisenstader
and
Michael
Chen,
and
a
partnership
was
established
to
form
Anrich.
Subsequent
to
the
purchase
of
the
facility
property,
Anrich
renovated
the
facility
and
began
battery
cracking
operations
in
1991.
On
May
22,
1991,
FDEP
conducted
a
Hazardous
Waste
Inspection
of
the
facility.
Several
RCRA
violations
were
noted,
including
the
operation
of
a
hazardous
waste
pile
without
a
permit
and
the
transport
of
hazardous
wastes
to
Taiwan
without
complying
with
certain
RCRA
record
keeping
requirements.
Anrich
ceased
operations
at
the
facility
in
July
1991
(Refs.
7,
p.
7;
18;
31,
p.
4).

During
the
1986
EPA
RCRA
inspection,
samples
were
collected
from
stockpiled
sediments
excavated
from
the
pond,
ditches,
and
a
hopper
located
in
the
recycling
area.
Lead
was
detected
in
sediment
samples
at
concentrations
ranging
from
8,300
to
13,000
mg/
kg.
The
sample
collected
from
the
hopper
(referred
to
as
lead
product)
contained
lead
at
a
concentration
of
160,000
mg/
kg;
this
sample
also
was
analyzed
for
EP
toxicity
and
exceeded
the
allowable
lead
concentration
of
5
mg/
L
(Refs.
6,
p.
8;
7,
p.
9;
8,
p.

Soil
samples
collected
from
the
reported
burial
or
disposal
sites
and
the
roadside
ditch
were
contaminated
by
lead.
Most
concentrations
of
lead
detected
in
the
soil
were
greater
than
1,000
mg/

During
the
1993
SI,

UMSS06
was
collected
from
the
roadside
drainage
ditch
outside
of
the
