2 SITE BACKGROUND
This section provides a description of the Site and the Site history.
2.1 Site Description
The Bethel Avenue Paint Site is a former paint business located inside a closed strip mall at 3150 Bethel
Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana (Figure 1). The former Bethel Avenue paint business occupies an
approximate area of 3,000 square feet (ft2) in three adjacent business suites - 3138, 3142, and 3150
Bethel Avenue. The Site is physically bounded to the north side by Van Buren Street, to the south by
Bethel Avenue, to the east by open land, and to the west by Perkins Avenue. The Site area is a mix of
residential and commercial properties. A park is located next to the open land on its east side and several
residences are located all around the strip mall. (Figure 2 – Site Features Map).
2.2 Site History
The Site premise was previously utilized as a paint business and it involved paint, stains, sealers, and
strippers. After the paint business shut down its activities, several hundred paint, stain, sealers, and
stripper containers were left abandoned inside the three suites. The Marion County Public Health
Department requested U.S. EPA assistance to address any threats from abandoned paints and other
potentially ignitable and corrosive material at the Site.

3 REMOVAL ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES
On April 22nd, 2016, U.S. EPA On-Scene Coordinator (OSC), Jason Sewell and START members mobilized
to the Site to perform RS activities, which included a site reconnaissance and collection of liquid
samples. On May 27th, 2016 OSC Jason Sewell and START member Katherine Cooper mobilized to
the Site to perform a container inventory. These assessment activities are discussed below.
A site-specific SAP was developed prior to mobilizing for conducting the assessment and to perform
the field work. The SAP described the data quality objectives (DQO), sampling strategy, sampling
locations, sampling methodology, and analytical procedures for analyzing the samples.
This section summarizes site reconnaissance (subsection 3.1) and sampling (subsection 3.2). Table 1
presents a summary of collected samples. Photographic documentation is provided in Appendix A.
3.1 Site Reconnaissance
Site reconnaissance was performed in level “D” personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance
with the approved site-specific HASP. START calibrated U.S. EPA’s MultiRAE® Plus
photoionization detector (PID) multi-gas monitor and the Ludlum model 192 gamma radiation monitor
prior to conducting the Site reconnaissance. The MultiRAE® Plus PID measures carbon monoxide
(CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), lower explosive limit (LEL), and
oxygen(O2). The Ludlum model is a high-sensitivity gamma radiation MicroR survey meter.
The strip mall consisted of one main building, with three access doors to business suites 3138, 3142, and
3150. Inside of each suite were numerous containers of paints, stains, sealers, strippers, and other solvents.
Evidence of multiple roof leaks were observed, including puddles of water on the floor, wet cardboard
boxes, and water pooling on top of containers in each of the suites. Numerous containers were corroded and in
poor condition. A previous investigation performed by the local fire marshal found the wiring of the building
to be a potential threat for electrical fire hazards.
In addition to paints, suite 3138 contained several mattresses (see photograph 3, 4, 5, and 6) indicating
potential residential occupation. Suite 3142 had multiple rooms, all stored with paint and related
containers. Suite 3142 had several containers stored in a hap-hazardous way and physical movement
was restricted due to the quantity and placement of containers. Several corroded and swollen containers
were observed here, including a
Removal Assessment Report

swollen Sherwin Williams container adjacent to a pool of foam near the rear of the first room of suite
3142 (see photograph 7, 8, 9, 10).
The door to suite 3150 had a posted “No Smoking” sign. Evidence of a fire, including burnt debris inside
of a melted garbage can was observed within this suite. A plastic container wrapped in duct tape with a
corrosive label was observed near a container labeled flammable liquid. Two tables have been constructed
using the paint, stains, sealers, and stripper containers as legs and boards as the table top to hold this
container. More containers are stacked on top of similarly constructed tables. Most of the table tops are
bowing from the combined container weight (see photograph 11-18). The adjoining room to the back of
suite 3150 contained bulk containers. Three to five of the bulk containers were labelled flammable (see
photograph 19 and 20). Another room in the back of suite 3150 housed numerous containers stacked from the
floor to the ceiling. Containers occupied the majority of the space inside of the room. The floor of this suite
had pools of water indicating potential roof leaks.
3.2 Field Screening and Sampling
Field screening was performed using a MultiRAE® Plus PID multi-gas monitor to screen samples for
VOCs prior to collection of samples. MultiRAE® Plus readings from a container labelled Sherwin
Williams – Pro Industrial – High Performance Epoxy indicated 100 parts per million (PPM) VOCs. This
container was selected for laboratory sample collection and analysis for Total VOCs. Some of the
containers chosen for sampling and laboratory analysis had labels indicating corrosive or ignitable
contents. The plastic container wrapped in duct tape had a label indicating corrosive contents. Containers
labeled Sherwin Williams Isopropyl Alcohol, Sherwin Williams Sher-Wood Catalyst, and Flood Paint
Solutions Penetrol had flammable warnings on the label.
Seven containers from suite 3150 were chosen to be sampled based on label information and/or on
monitoring instrument readings. Six of the seven containers were moved to a central location within the
suite prior to sampling. The seventh container, labeled corrosive, was left at its original location to avoid
disturbing the container and a sample was collected from its original location (see photograph 30).
A total of nine liquid samples, including two duplicates, were collected during the RS investigation.
Duplicate sample BP-6 was collected for flashpoint analysis, as the duplicate of BP-4. Duplicate sample
BP-7 was collected for pH and Total VOCs analyses, as the duplicate of BP-1.
START collected liquid samples by directly decanting liquid from the containers into lab-supplied

7
glass sample containers. Sample containers were labeled and placed on ice for shipment to the
laboratory. Samples collected at the Site are summarized in Table 1.
Liquids samples were collected from the abandoned containers located on-site. All samples were
collected in level C PPE gear. Samples were submitted to Test America laboratory for corrosivity
determination by pH in accordance with EPA method SW-846 9045D, ignitability determination by
flashpoint in accordance with D92, and Total VOCs in accordance with SW-846 8260B.
3.3 Container Inventory
START conducted the container inventory on May 27th, 2016. START documented approximately
2,520 quarts, 6,858 gallon containers, and 1,175 5-gallon containers of paint, stains, sealers, and
strippers located inside suites 3138, 3142, 3150 (see Table 2). Many stain containers were Sherwin
Williams stains labeled Sher-Wood BAC Wiping Stain. Numerous other containers were labeled
Urethane Hardener, High Performance Epoxy, and Acrylic Enamel. The container inventory is an
estimate due to the volume and organization of the containers at the Site. Containers were stored by
stacking containers on top of one another in numerous rows.

4 SAMPLE ANALYTICAL RESULTS
START reviewed the sample analytical data and supporting quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
data provided by Test America Laboratories Inc. and performed data validation of the results. The
validated analytical data package is included in Appendix B. Based on START’s data validation, the data
are acceptable for use as qualified. The following section summarizes laboratory analytical results for
samples collected during the RS field activities. For purposes of evaluating hazardous characteristics,
samples were compared to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sections which verify the characteristics
of a hazardous waste for ignitability and corrosivity, 40 CFR § 261.21 and § 261.22. Detected
concentrations of Total VOCs were compared against 40 CFR § 261.24 TCLP regulations for determining
toxicity characteristics of the samples. Table 3 summarizes all detected analytical results for liquid
samples.
The analytical results of samples collected and analyzed for corrosivity determination by pH indicated that
four out of five samples exhibited characteristic of corrosivity (Sample BP-1, BP-3, BP-7 and BP-8). A
liquid meets the characteristics of corrosivity as defined by 40 CFR § 261.22, if it has a pH of greater than
or equal to 12.5 SU or less than or equal to 2 SU. Sample BP-8 had the lowest pH at 0.54 standard unit
(SU). Sample BP-8 was collected from the container labeled Vana-Trol and corrosive. The highest pH was
documented in sample BP-3, which was collected from a container labeled SuperTuff Deck and Roof
Cleaner Pro Strength.
Analytical results for ignitability determination by flashpoint indicated that two out of four samples
exhibited characteristic of ignitability. A liquid meets the characteristics of ignitability as defined by 40
CFR § 261.21, if it has a flash point of less than 140 °F. Samples BP-1 and BP-2 documented liquid having
flash point temperatures of 102 °F and 112 °F respectively.
One of the four samples analyzed for Total VOCs indicated benzene and methyl ethyl ketone
concentrations greater than the CFR Regulatory Levels (RLs) (BP-09). Results from sample BP-09
indicated a benzene concentration of 27 ppm and methyl ethyl ketone concentration of 290 ppm, above the
respective RL values of 0.5 ppm and 200 ppm respectively.

5 POTENTIAL SITE RELATED THREATS
Threats posed by on-site contamination and site conditions were evaluated in accordance with The
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) criteria for initiating removal
action listed under Title 40 of the CFR, Section 300.415(b) (2). Paragraph (b) (2) of 40CFR Section
300.415 lists factors to be considered when determining the appropriateness of a potential removal action
at a site. Potential site-related threats to human health and the environment were evaluated based on the
criteria listed in 40 CFR, Sections 261.20 through 261.31. Factors that may be applicable to the Site are
discussed below.
Actual or potential exposure of nearby human populations, animals, or the food chain to hazardous
substances or pollutants or contaminants (40 CFR 300.415(b)(2)(i))
Analytical results from samples BP-1 and BP-2 documented liquid having flash points less than 140°F,
which, per 40 C.F.R. § 261.21 regulation, meets the characteristic of ignitability (D001).
Analytical results from liquid samples BP-1, BP-3, BP-7, and BP-08 indicate pH level greater than or equal
to 12.5 SU or less than or equal to 2 SU. This result, per to 40 C.F.R. § 261.22 regulation, meets the
characteristic of corrosivity (D002).
The presence of confirmed hazardous material inside suites with broken roof pose a threat to vandals and
trespassers through direct exposure. Presence of mattresses inside the suites also indicate potential
inhabitation by vandals or trespassers. Human contact with these materials can result in exposure to
corrosive, ignitable, and other hazardous materials.
Hazardous substances or pollutants or contaminants in drums, barrels, tanks, or other bulk storage
containers that may pose a threat of release (40 CFR 300.415(b)(2)(iii))
During the Site investigation, U.S. EPA and START observed and documented the presence of 1,175 5-
gallon containers, 6,858 gallon containers, and 2,520 quart containers. Many containers contained labels
such as “Flammable” and “Corrosive”. Numerous containers were in poor and dilapidated condition.
Removal Assessment Report
Bethel Avenue Paint Site
TDD: S05-0001-16-03-001
13
Analytical results of the samples confirmed the presence of ignitable and corrosive waste at the Site.
These containers were deteriorating, with visible spilled material on the floors. Leaking roofs may
accelerate deterioration of the containers leading to the release of hazardous substances and migration of
the hazardous material to off-site locations.
Threat of fire or explosion (40 CFR 300.415(b)(2)(vi))
Analytical results from the removal assessment documented that material in the containers were flammable
liquids and pose a threat of fire or explosion. This removal assessment documented two liquid samples
having flashpoint results below 140 °F, which is the criterion for ignitibility for a hazardous waste.
Previous inspection performed by a fire marshal found the wiring of the building to be a potential electrical
fire hazard at the Site which coupled with ignitable and VOC materials pose a threat of fire or explosion at
the site. Any fire at the site has the potential to release hazardous material to the atmosphere and expose
nearby residents to the toxic fumes related to the fire.

6 SUMMARY
On April 22nd, 2016, U.S. EPA and START conducted a removal assessment at the Bethel Avenue Paint
Site located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Field screening with a PID for VOCs was performed on container
contents prior to sampling. During sampling, nine liquid samples were collected and submitted for pH
and/or flashpoint determination, as well as Total VOCs analysis.
The analytical results for samples collected and analyzed for corrosivity determination by pH indicated
four out of five samples as meeting the characteristic of corrosivity. The result according to 40 CFR §
261.22 meets the characteristic of a hazardous waste for corrosivity. Analytical results from samples
BP-1 and BP-2 documented liquid as having flash points less than 140 °F, which, according to 40
CFR§ 261.21, meets the characteristic of a hazardous waste for ignitability. VOCs including benzene
and methyl ethyl ketone were detected above the applicable RLs.
Abandoned containers holding hazardous waste are present on the Bethel Avenue Paint property. Based
on the proximity of residential properties, the corrosive and ignitable wastes pose a potential direct
contact threat to the public. Additionally, the deteriorated condition of the containers poses a threat of
release. The ignitable waste also poses a potential threat of fire and release to the environment.

Prepared by: Richard Baldino, START QAO for Region 5 QA/QC Concurrence by:
Subject: Data Validation for Bethel Avenue Paint Site Indianapolis, IN Project TDD No. S05-0001-16-03-001
Laboratory: Test America, Chicago, IL Sample Delivery Group (SDG): 500-110631
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The START QAO for Region 5 validated analytical data for 9 liquid samples for analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Corrosivity, and Flashpoint. Samples were collected at the Bethel Avenue Paint Site located in Indianapolis, IN on April 22, 2016. The samples were analyzed under SDG 500-110631 by Test America, Inc. of Chicago, IL using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) methods 8260B and 9045D.
Laboratory data were validated using guidelines set forth in the U.S. EPA Contract Laboratory Program National Functional Guidelines (NFG) for Organic Data Review (EPA-540-R-014-002, August 2014), NFG for Inorganic Data Review (EPA-540-R-013-001, August 2014), and applicable methodologies. The purpose of the chemical data quality evaluation process is to assess the usability of data for the project decision-making process. Flashpoint was analyzed using ASTM Method D92.
Organic data validation consisted of a review of the following QC audits:
Chain of custody and sample receipt forms review Sample preservation and holding time Blank results Surrogate recoveries Matrix spike and Matrix Spike Duplicate (MS/MSD) recovery results Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)/Laboratory Control Sample Duplicate (LCSD) recovery results
Inorganic data validation consisted of a review of the following QC audits:
Chain of custody and sample receipt forms review Sample preservation and holding time Blank results Duplicate Sample Results LCS recovery results MS/MSD recovery results
Section 2.0 of this memorandum discusses the results of organic data validation. Section 3.0 of this memorandum discusses the results of inorganic data validation. Section 4.0 presents an overall assessment of
Data Validation for Bethel Avenue paint Project TDD No. S05-0001-16-03-001 Page 2
the data. The attachment to this memorandum contains the laboratory reporting forms as well as START’s handwritten data qualifications where warranted.
2.0 ORGANIC DATA VALIDATION RESULTS
The results of START’s organic data validation are summarized below by QC audit reviewed. The data qualifiers listed below were applied to sample analytical results where warranted (see attachment):
J – The analyte was detected. The reported concentration was considered estimated. U – The analyte was not detected. UJ – The analyte was not detected. The reporting limit was considered estimated.
After the START project staff received the data packages, they were inventoried for completeness and then reviewed according to matrix-specific protocols and data quality objectives established for the project.
2.1 LIQUID SAMPLES BY METHOD 8260B
2.1.1 SAMPLE HANDLING
Chain of custody documentation and sample receipt forms were reviewed to ensure requested analyses were performed and that samples arrived at the laboratory intact. Solid samples were collected on April 22, 2016 and were received on ice by the laboratory on April 23, 2016. No discrepancies were noted.
2.1.2 SAMPLE PRESERVATION AND HOLDING TIME
VOC samples were analyzed within holding time criteria. No discrepancies were noted.
2.1.3 BLANK RESULTS
The purpose of laboratory (or field) blank analysis is to determine the existence and magnitude of contamination resulting from laboratory (or field) activities. A laboratory method blank sample (MB 500-333992/6) was run with this SDG. No method blank detects were noted.
2.1.4 SURROGATE RECOVERIES
Laboratory performance on individual samples is established by means of fortifying each sample with surrogate compounds. Surrogate spike compounds included tetrachloro-m-xylene and decachlorobiphenyl. Surrogate recoveries were acceptable. No discrepancies were noted.
2.1.5 MS/MSD RECOVERY RESULTS
Data for MS/MSDs are generated to determine long-term precision and accuracy of the analytical method on various matrices and to demonstrate acceptable compound recovery by the laboratory at the time of sample analysis.
MS/MSD samples were not requested for this SDG. No qualification was attempted based on missing MS/MSD audit results.
2.1.6 LCS/LCSD RECOVERY RESULTS
Data for the LCS/LCSD is generated to provide information on the accuracy of the analytical method and on the laboratory performance. The LCS/LCSD is fortified with Aroclor 1260 and analyzed with each batch of samples. The LCS/LCSD accuracy performance is measured by Percent Recovery (%R). LCS/LCSD recoveries were acceptable. No discrepancies were noted.
Data Validation for Bethel Avenue paint Project TDD No. S05-0001-16-03-001 Page 3
2.1.7 FIELD DUPLICATES
Data for field duplicates were collected and analyzed for chemical constituents to measure the cumulative uncertainty (i.e., precision) of the sample collection, splitting, handling, storage, preparation and analysis operations, as well as natural sample heterogeneity that is not eliminated through simple mixing in the field. Field duplicates are two samples prepared by mixing a volume of sample and splitting it into two separate sample containers that are labeled as individual field samples.
Field duplicate samples were not collected. No qualification was attempted based on missing field duplicate audit results.
2.1.8 GENERAL LABORATORY OBSERVATIONS
The laboratory noted that multiple samples were diluted due to high native VOC concentrations. The resulting reporting limits were elevated.
3.0 INORGANIC DATA VALIDATION RESULTS
The results of START’s inorganic data validation are summarized below by QC audit reviewed. The data qualifiers listed below were applied to sample analytical results where warranted:
J – The analyte was detected. The reported concentration was considered estimated. U – The analyte was not detected. UJ – The analyte was not detected. The reporting limit was considered estimated.
