A. OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS PLAN

This community relations pian (CRP) for the Clinton Coal Gas site identifies issues of community concern related to cleanup options. It considers potential community impacts of potential time-critical and/or non-time-critical removal(s) of surface soil contaminated with heavy metals and non-time-critical removal or remediation of buried soil contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons [(PAHs) dr coal tar]. The heavy metals, primarily lead, are thought to have originated in paints used on bridge components constructed by Clinton Bridge and Iron Works and successor companies, starting in 1875, while the coal tar was created during production of gas from coal in a plant that was operated on the site from 1870 until 1952 by Clinton Gas Light and Coke Company and Interstate Power Company.

Although the actions to be taken at this site have not been determined, this CRP has been undertaken to determine how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can best inform and otherwise meet the needs of area residents and other involved parties. In addition to future community relations activities by the EPA, it will observe the community relations activities of companies that have succeeded those that generated the contaminants on the site as they proceed with cleanup.

Removal or remedial activities, whether conducted by EPA or by the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) under consent agreements with EPA, will be carried out under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which is commonly known as Superfund. EPA conducts community relations activities to ensure that the local public has an opportunity to participate in Superfund actions and is adequately informed of the decision-making process and of the progress toward cleanup.

This CRP identifies issues of community concern relating to environmental issues generally and specifically to any cleanups at the Clinton Coal Gas site. Clinton’s residents, as will be discussed in detail in subsequent sections of this CRP, have several environmental and other concerns related to the site.

The identified areas of community concern discussed in this CRP were determined primarily during interviews conducted with local residents, community leaders and representatives of the property owners during February and March 1995. Background information on the site was gathered from files in the Superfund and Emergency Planning & Response branches of the EPA’s Region VII headquarters office, Kansas City, Kansas, including the Site Screening Inspection Report for Site Assessment Activity at the Clinton Former Manufactured Gas Plant, Clinton, Iowa, prepared by CDM Federal Programs Corporation, July 25, 1994, and the Ecology & Environment, Inc., Site Assessment, Clinton Coal Gas, report completed February 20, 1995.

B. SITE DESCRIPTION

The Clinton Coal Gas site is a multi-property site with its western edge at 201 N. 2nd Street, Clinton, Iowa, in Clinton County. Located at River Mile 517 on the west bank of the Mississippi River, the portion of the site occupied by the Former Manufactured Gas Plant encompasses nearly 8 acres. Interstate Power currently owns a portion of that property. The remainder of the former gas plant and additional property lying east and south of the gas plant, property which was formerly owned by Clinton Bridge Works/Allied Structural Steel, also may be contaminated with coal tar wastes. The latter property, which is known to be contaminated with lead, is currently owned by Riverview Partners, Ltd. The exact size of the site is unknown, because the extent of coal tar wastes on and outside of Interstate Power’s property has not been folly determined. The eastern edge of the former gas plant is less than 1,000 feet from the Mississippi River. The areas of contamination are bisected roughly north to south by a track of the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. (Please see Figure 1 :Site Sketch, which is attached, for a map of the site.)

Based on a history of coal gasification on the site, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) initiated a preliminary assessment of the site in 1989. In May 1993, IDNR found lead contamination, which investigation has indicated resulted from use of lead-based paint on structures fabricated by Clinton Bridge and Iron Works and Allied Structural Steel. Other on-site operations also may have contributed to contamination found on the site. From 1986 to 1989, River Gulf Grain Corporation stored grain in the foundry building, raising the possibility the site could have been contaminated with grain fumigants. Another potential contaminant class is polychlorinated biphenyls, which were used in electrical transformers. Seven service stations, with underground storage tanks for gasoline that could have leaked, operated within two blocks of the site’s west edge. A city dump was located in a former river channel in the vicinity of the site and construction of an incinerator to bum paper and household rubbish was begun by the city in 1930. It operated into the 1950’s. The

3

city’s Riverview Park, which lies between Riverview Partner’s property and the Mississippi River, was created after the municipal dump was used to complete the filling of the former river channel.

Under contract to the EPA, personnel of CDM Federal Programs Corporation and ManTech undertook a Site Screening Inspection of the Clinton Coal Gas site May 6-15, 1994. Fourteen water samples, 25 subsurface soil samples, 2 sediment samples - and 14 surface soil samples were collected.

Validated ground water sample results showed detectable levels of 12 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs fall in a grouping referred to as semi-VOCs), 22 total metals and 13 dissolved metals.

Subsurface soil results showed 5 VOCs, 16 semi-VOCs and 24 metals above laboratory detection limits. Surface samples showed 24 metals, 3 pesticides and a polychlorinated biphenyl above background levels, and sediment sample results showed 12 semi-VOCs and 21 metals above background levels. Chrysene, a PAH common in coal-tar wastes, was detected in three of the ground-water samples at concentrations 430, 900 and 2,400 times the proposed regulatory level [maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) under the Safe Drinking Water Act] that would be allowed in public drinking water systems. Benzo(a)pyrene, a PAH that is considered to be carcinogenic, was detected in the same three samples at concentrations 360, 1,300 and 3,100 times its respective MCL. (The ground water sampled is not used as a drinking water source.)

Ecology and Environment, Inc., (E & E), through its Technical Assistance Team contract with EPA, began a site assessment for lead in March 1994 and undertook additional sampling in December 1994. Nineteen of 28 samples collected from the surface soil on the site had lead concentrations in excess of 500 milligrams per kilogram [(mg/Kg) or parts per million (ppm)], which is a removal action level frequently used during lead-related cleanups of properties in residential areas. Lead concentrations found during various sampling efforts ranged from 19 ppm to 90,000 (9 percent lead). Sample results also indicated elevated lead concentrations in limited areas outside the site’s security fence.

Riverview Park, which is owned by the City of Clinton, borders the site on the southeast, east and northeast, with city streets on the southwest, west and northwest. Homes are located approximately 100 feet north of the site. Trinity School is approximately 900 feet west of the site and Kirkwood School is about 1,600 feet west of the site. Numerous businesses are located directly across the street from the Interstate Power building and adjacent to the site on the southwest and northwest comers. The Clinton LumberKings baseball stadium is located a few hundred feet northeast of the Riverview Partners property.

c. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND

1. Community Profile

Clinton, Iowa, is the county seat of Clinton County, and is located on the Mississippi River across from Fulton, Illinois. The 1990 census reported Clinton haH a population of 28,453. Fulton, Illinois, had a population of 3,698 in 1990. The City of Camanche (pop. 4,725) is located along Clinton’s south boundary and the two communities are closely linked by residency arid employment. The majority of Clinton s residents are white, have at least a high school education, own their own homes and have household incomes ranging from $35,000 to $50,000. Many of the residents in the immediate vicinity of the site have lived in the area for relatively short times, with many of them in rented properties. Several businesses, on the other hand; have been in their current locations for a decade or longer.

Clinton’s economy is influenced by its location on the Mississippi River in an agricultural area. Four of its largest employers are in the packaging industry, including International Paper, the largest single employer in Clinton, which has some 770 workers in a plant that makes folding cartons. Custom-Pak, Inc., which produces plastic containers, is the second largest employer, with slightly more than 500 workers. Other companies with more than 400 workers are ADM-Clinton, which employs some 460 to make com products, and Quantum Chemical’s USI Division, which employs about the same number in the polyethylene resins industry

The first white man settled in Clinton County in 1835, and following the establishment of a trading post for the American Fur Trading Company in the area in 1836 the immigrant population grew rapidly. Clinton County was organized by the Territorial Legislature during the winter of 1839-1840. The City of Clinton grew slowly, until the 1850’s. It was incorporated in 1859. By the 1860’s, there was a thriving commerce in the area based on transportation on the Mississippi River. Industrialization grew as logs from farther upriver were floated to Clinton for milling. At one point Clinton was reputed to have the largest sawmill in the world, with processed lumber shipped from Clinton throughout the Upper Midwest. As the forests were logged out, the lumber mills were demolished or the buildings converted to other factories. Gradually, a more diverse industrial base, focused around agriculture, manufacturing and transportation, developed.

The local economy received a boost in 1991, when a gambling boat owned by Robert Kehl of Dubuque was docked in Clinton, directly offshore from the city’s Riverview Park. Riverboat gambling in Clinton has flourished, particularly because for a time the Clinton boat offered the casino nearest to Chicago, Illinois, which is 138 miles east. Kehl replaced the original gambling boat with the Mississippi Belle II in November 1994. The new boat has double the capacity of the original, with five decks, two casinos and capacity of 1,000. The gambling operation employs 300. A local non-profit Future Projects Fund will receive an estimated $800,000 from the gambling boat during the current year, with the money being available for application

by community organizations.

2. History of Community Involvement

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) initiated a preliminary assessment of the Clinton Coal Gas site in 1989, based on the history of coal gasification on the site. On August 20, 1990, interstate Power, which had been working with the IDNR, advised RiverView Partners, Ltd. that it believed coal tar existed under the former steel fabrication building, which Riverview Partners had purchased from the Trust for Public Lands in 1984. The trust had obtained the land when Allied Structural Steel went out of business in Clinton. IDNR completed itspreliminary assessment of the site, which indicated contamination with coal tar wastes,on March 25, 1991. In May 1993, IDNR found lead contamination, which is thought to have resulted from use of lead-based paint on structures fabricated by Allied, Structural Steel. Later in 1993, IDNR referred the site to EPA, which followed up with the previously described Site Screening Assessment Report and the Site Assessment Report. Representatives of Interstate Power, who were interviewed during preparation of this CRP, expressed an opinion that significant additional work remains.before the extent of coal tar contamination under Interstate’s and surrounding properties can be determined. A two-phase Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), conducted under Superfimd procedures, could be scheduled no earlier than the fall of 1995, according to Interstate Power. Remediation of the coal tar contamination is unlikely to begin before 1998, Interstate Power projects.

The Clinton community has not been actively involved in the investigations of contamination at the Clinton Coal Gas site. Residents and other parties are, however, interested in the results and the prpject has attracted significant attention. The contamination itself, the location of the site, the presence of the three-block-long Allied Structural Steel building, which all parties agree is presently an eyesore because it needs repair, and various political and economic interests have combined to bring considerable attention to the site. Those concerns will be discussed in the following section.

f ,

3. Key Community Concerns

Although analytical results and historical records indicate potentially widespread and in some instances high levels of buried PAHs and localized high levels of lead on the Clinton Coal Gas site, more of the attention of local residents and city officials tends to be focused on tangential issues than concerns for human health or the environment. Representatives of IDNR express the most concern for such issues, noting that PAHs may be reaching the Mississippi River, thus impacting the environment through surface water, and that contaminants from the site might ultimately reach drinking water wells for the City of Camanche, though those are several miles away.

The key concerns have been separated into related groups.

6

a. "The IDNR, based on knowledge of what was done at the Clinton Coal Gas site and on experience at other coal gasification facilities, suspects coal tar has reached the Mississippi River and as a result may impact surface water and resident endangered species. The IDNR also has concerns about abandoned wells beneath the site, which might provide an avenue for coal tar contaminants to reach deeper aquifers.

b. Some confusion appears to exist regarding various storm sewer pipes that pass under the site. There is dispute as to whether contamination may have entered some pipes, which pipes the city may be responsible for, and the destination for materials that may be present in the various pipes. Residents believe contamination has been flushed downstream and that coal tar may have been buried or used as fill at undocumented locations around the city during the course of past construction operations.

c. Previously, environmental issues in Clinton have focused on air-quality issues, including dust and sulphur dioxide. While questions about environmental problems in Clinton elicited a wide range of responses, concern over "odor problems" was the predominant issue raised. Some residents said odor problems have been so significant that they have produced a bad image for Clinton. Responsible parties have undertaken remediation at two other large Superfund sites-Dupont and Chemplex-the latter of which was once on the Superfund National Priorities List.

d. Local residents say Camanche is the site of a cluster of cancer victims. No specific source for the cluster was suggested.

e. EPA’s involvement in the Clinton Coal Gas site is generally welcomed by residents. Hope is expressed that EPA can "carry a big hammer" and encourage the responsible parties to effect a rapid cleanup, which will allow Clinton to put perceived environmental problems behind it and proceed with economic development.

II: Riverview Partner’s Building arid Economic Development

a. While some parties interested in Clinton’s economic development express concerns that a hazardous waste site may pose a threat to continued development of the waterfront area, there appears to be more concern over the dilapidated three-block-long building owned by Riverview Partners than there is over either the coal tar or lead contamination. In the minds of many, the hazardous waste site and the building are synonymous. More of those interviewed expressed a desire to see the building removed and the area converted to "green space" than expressed fear over - contamination with lead or coal tar.

b. Concern is expressed that Riverview Partners will drag its feet on any necessary cleanup of lead on its property. There is a belief expressed by some residents that Riverview Partners is miffed at having lost out on getting the Clinton riverboat

casino and may be trying to hold up other development in order to force the City of Clinton to buy out its Clinton property. A spokesman for Riverview Partners said the partnership purchased the building and property with plans to develop it, irrespective of whether it gained the franchise to locate a riverboat in Clinton. Riverview Partners, it was noted, bought its property five years before riverboat casinos became legal in Iowa, without any guarantees that riverboat casinos would materialize.

c. Riverview Partners is concerned that the discovery of lead on its property, particularly when combined with the virtual certainty of coal tar under the property, could significantly delay redevelopment. Riverview Partners indicates it wants to develop its property just as much as residents want to see the building removed or redeveloped.

d. Some residents are concerned that the city, in its eagerness to spark. redevelopment of the riverfront area, will buy Riverview Partners’ property, thus opening itself up to cleanup liability . The city administrator and other officials deny any such intent and express a fear that the EPA might consider them as being responsible for some contamination on the site.

e. There is a concern that a proliferation of gambling nationwide will greatly increase competition for the Mississippi Belle II, which will reduce its profitability. That, it is feared, will reduce the secondary economic benefits the riverboat provides in Clinton, will reduce the money going from the riverboat into Clinton’s non-profit Future Projects Fund, and will simultaneously make it less attractive for Riverview Partners to redevelop its property. Some believe the opportunity to redevelop the waterfront area while there are substantial gambling revenues may not extend beyond two to five years. The time needed to clean up the Clinton Coal Gas site could result in the window of opportunity for redevelopment being missed. The owners of the Mississippi Belle II say riverboat gambling has a long and bright future in Clinton, because of the general attractiveness of the local waterfront and an overall positive outlook for casino gambling in Iowa.

III. Political Issues

The Clinton Coal Gas site has been a subject of friction with the Clinton City Council and also between certain elements of the community and some members of the Clinton City Council and the city’s administrative staff. The dispute reportedly dates back to the mayoralty election of 1989. In terms of the site, the basic contentions are:

a. Critics say the city administrator, certain other city staff and a majority on the city council denied the existence of a coal tar problem until events forced them to admit it; have ignored existence of coal tar in sewer lines, have approved disposal of coal tar excavated during construction in unknown locations, have played down the problem whenever possible; and have indicated a willingness to consider buying the former Allied Steel property (thus becoming a potentially responsible party for lead and possibly coal tar cleanup).

8

b. The city administrator and his supporters say they have acknowledged existence of the coal tar, though they do not believe it constitutes a hazard so long as it remains buried. They say they will not show undue concern about the coal tar, when other materials, such as chlorine used within the city, represent much greater potential threats. They say the city has cooperated with the IDNR and EPA and will do so in the future. Although they would like to see the Allied Steel building removed and the property redeveloped or turned into green space, they said one of their biggest fears is being targeted by the EPA as a responsible party , because of the potential to be saddled with cleanup costs. They deny any burning desire to purchase Riverview Partners’property, much less to acquire it before remediation is complete.

D. HIGHLIGHTS

Under the National Hazardous Substances and Oil Pollution Contingency Plan, which provides guidance for EPA as it undertakes removals and remediation of hazardous substances, community relations plans are normally developed and presented in conjunction with major decisions or milestones in the cleanup process. A decision to undertake a non-time-critical removal, for example, can trigger a need for a community relations plan.

A decision to develop a community relations plan for the Clinton Coal Gas site was made before any final decision was made on how to clean up the varied contamination at the Clinton Coal Gas site. This was done because:

- the site is complicated by the presence of multiple contaminants;

- the site has multiple potentially responsible parties with some probable overlap of contaminants on the same property;

- the cleanup efforts may disrupt the daily activities of and have adverse economic effects on the community;

- there is a tendency to view the run-down building and the contaminants on site as the same problem, though EPA has no responsibility for overseeing removal of buildings just because people find them ugly,

- and because the schism that exists between some members of the community and a segment of the city government may necessitate more information dissemination than normal in order to satisfy all interested parties that the city, PRPs, IDNR and the EPA have acted properly.

The EPA will conduct its community relations process independent of activities by the potentially responsible parties, but will work with them when it is in the interests of the community. Both Interstate Power and Riverview Partners have

expressed their willingness to participate in the EPA’s community relations process.

EPA’s community relations program will include the following approaches:

1. As soon as EPA has determined how to proceed with the cleanup of the Clinton Coal Gas site and has reached any agreements for performance of this work with the potentially responsible parties, EPA should communicate that information directly to residents and businesses owners in the immediate vicinity of the site. Door-to-door distribution of fact sheets or other information is important because a survey of the neighborhood indicated many of the residents have lived in the neighborhood for two years or less and several had no knowledge of the existence of either coal tar or lead on the neighboring property. While some, particularly nearby business owners, expressed satisfaction with the coverage of the local news outlets, several residents indicated they cannot afford to subscribe to The Clinton Herald, do not read newspapers generally, and tend to listen to radio and television from the Quad Cities area, rather than the local stations. Even some who said they were generally satisfied with the local news coverage said they have relied on word-of-mouth or rumors for information about the site.

2. Because a segment of residents and other involved parties relies on rumors and word-of-mouth for information about the Clinton Coal Gas site, and because the City Council and the community are somewhat polarized by the issue, EPA should proceed to provide the public with basic facts on the site as soon as a plan for cleanup is developed. This should be accomplished through a public meeting that includes a formal presentation on the issues. Both Interstate Power and Riverview Partners have indicated their willingness to attend and participate in such a meeting. They should be encouraged, to the extent possible, to present their plans for cleanup and to answer questions that may arise. Representatives of the City of Clinton and the IDNR also will be invited to participate.

3. In order to stimulate interest in the informational meeting, EPA should advise the local radio, television and newspaper of the meeting through a news release. The local radio stations should be advised of the availability of EPA representatives for talk shows in advance of the informational meeting.

4. EPA should establish an information repository in the Clinton Public Library’s Reference Section and promptly provide documents as they become available. The same repository will be used to house an administrative record. Complete site characterization and cleanup of the Clinton Coal site, especially the coal tar itself, is likely to take several years, meaning updates will be needed as information becomes available.

5. Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) will be encouraged to undertake their own informational activities and community relations campaigns as they progress with their respective cleanup activities.

10

6. Interviews with residents and businesses showed that only a few who might be affected by removal of coal tar from the site recognize that traffic, dust and odor problems might accompany such an activity. Considering that a significant number of area residents said odor problems have been Clinton’s most significant environmental issue in recent yeais, EPA and the responsible parties face a major community relations challenge. The site is in the heart of recreational activity for the city. The Clinton LumberKings Stadium and a city parking lot rented by the Mississippi Belle II are adjacent to areas where removal of coal tar, with attendant smells similar to an asphalt or creosote plant, may be necessary. Riverboat Days attracts 10,000 visitors to the same area each July. For these reasons, EPA should encourage the PRPs—because of dust and traffic—to complete any removals during the winter, when smells will be diminished by cold weather and traffic will be reduced.

E. TECHNIQUES AND TIMING

The timetable on the following page (Table 1) displays activities that are essential to properly meeting the goals outlined in this CRP. The precise scheduling of these activities is dependent on the schedule of EPA’s staff, that of the PRPs, the availability of their contractors and other factors. Table 1 is presented to show the order of basic activities associated with the Community Relations Plan. It does not reflect all CRP activities that may be carried out in relation to the Clinton Coal Gas site. Information on sampling, decisions and other developments related to the site will be placed, as generated, in the information repository for the site. The repository will be located in the Reference Section of the Clinton Public Library, 306 8th Avenue South.
