SECTION 1 - BACKGROUND

This summary provides informat ion requested by the Massachuset ts

Depar tment of Env i ronmenta l P ro tec t i on (DEP) re lated to Si lver Lake located in

P i t t s f i e l d Massachuset ts Based on the D E P s rev iew of b iweekly air sampl ing

result summaries prepared on behalf of the General Electric Company (GE) by

Zorex Corpo ra t i on P i t t s f i e ld M a s s a c h u s e t t s as part of the ongoing GE f a c i l i t y

Air Moni tor ing Program the DEP bel ieves Si lver Lake to be a l ikely sou rce of

polychlormated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air in the area In a letter dated

October 13 1993 the DEP requested that GE submit the information l isted below

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY OF SILVER LAKE SOIL SEDIMENT AND

WATER-COLUMN DATA

To date the inves t iga t ions of S i lver Lake have focused on sediment and

water-co lumn data co l lect ion and analys is A summary of the data co l lec ted is

provided in Figure 1 This summary presents data col lected by S tewar t

Laboratories Inc (Stewart) Knoxvi l le Tennessee in 1980 and 1982 which

consisted of PCB results of 120 sediment samples col lected from 25 locat ions

Sur face water samples were also col lected by Stewart including eight samples

col lected from the Silver Lake out fa l l to the Housatonic River dur ing a s to rm

event and analyzed for total suspended sol ids (TSS) and PCBs (Stewart 1982)

Figure 1 also summarizes Si lver Lake sediment and water -co lumn data

collected by Blasland amp Bouck Engineers PC (Blasland amp Bouck) as part of the

1990-1991 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Phase II investigation of the

Housatonic River (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991 and August 1992) These

data include the results of the fo l lowing

bull Six sediment samples collected from three locations within the eastern

portion of the lake and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix IX

of 40 CFR Part 264 plus three additional const i tuents (benzidine 2shy

chloroethyl v inyl ether and 12-diphenylhydrazine) (Appendix IX + 3)

bull Water-column samples collected from the center of Silver Lake and at

its outfall to the Housatonic River during high-flow and low-flow

condit ions with analysis for Appendix IX + 3 const i tuents and

11993 2-1 1293927AA

bull Monthly water-column samples col lected over one calendar year f rom

the center of S i l ve r Lake and at i ts ou t fa l l wi th ana lys is for PCBs

TSS and seve ra l m isce l laneous water qual i ty parameters

In addition Figure 1 presents data f rom three miscellaneous sediment

compos i te samples co l lec ted f rom Si lver Lake in November 1992 by B las land amp

Bouck at the reques t of GE (Blas land amp Bouck December 1992)

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

11493 2-2 1293927AA

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

SECTION 4 - CURRENT AND HISTORIC OUTFALLS TO SILVER LAKE

4 1 Cur rent Out fa l l s

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

Outfal l 003

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

point Outfal l M2 discharges stormwater to Si lver Lake near the in te rsec t ion of

Silver Lake Boulevard and East Street This outfall appears to discharge

stormwater from catch basins located along East Street and yard drains located

SECTION 6 - PERMITTED AND NON-PERMITTED DISCHARGES TO SILVER LAKE

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

permit ted under GE s NPDES Permit as wel l as two municipal s to rmwate r ou t fa l l s

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

This summary provides informat ion requested by the Massachuset ts

Depar tment of Env i ronmenta l P ro tec t i on (DEP) re lated to Si lver Lake located in

P i t t s f i e l d Massachuset ts Based on the D E P s rev iew of b iweekly air sampl ing

result summaries prepared on behalf of the General Electric Company (GE) by

Zorex Corpo ra t i on P i t t s f i e ld M a s s a c h u s e t t s as part of the ongoing GE f a c i l i t y

Air Moni tor ing Program the DEP bel ieves Si lver Lake to be a l ikely sou rce of

polychlormated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air in the area In a letter dated

October 13 1993 the DEP requested that GE submit the information l isted below

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY OF SILVER LAKE SOIL SEDIMENT AND

WATER-COLUMN DATA

To date the inves t iga t ions of S i lver Lake have focused on sediment and

water-co lumn data co l lect ion and analys is A summary of the data co l lec ted is

provided in Figure 1 This summary presents data col lected by S tewar t

Laboratories Inc (Stewart) Knoxvi l le Tennessee in 1980 and 1982 which

consisted of PCB results of 120 sediment samples col lected from 25 locat ions

Sur face water samples were also col lected by Stewart including eight samples

col lected from the Silver Lake out fa l l to the Housatonic River dur ing a s to rm

event and analyzed for total suspended sol ids (TSS) and PCBs (Stewart 1982)

Figure 1 also summarizes Si lver Lake sediment and water -co lumn data

collected by Blasland amp Bouck Engineers PC (Blasland amp Bouck) as part of the

1990-1991 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Phase II investigation of the

Housatonic River (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991 and August 1992) These

data include the results of the fo l lowing

bull Six sediment samples collected from three locations within the eastern

portion of the lake and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix IX

of 40 CFR Part 264 plus three additional const i tuents (benzidine 2shy

chloroethyl v inyl ether and 12-diphenylhydrazine) (Appendix IX + 3)

bull Water-column samples collected from the center of Silver Lake and at

its outfall to the Housatonic River during high-flow and low-flow

condit ions with analysis for Appendix IX + 3 const i tuents and

11993 2-1 1293927AA

bull Monthly water-column samples col lected over one calendar year f rom

the center of S i l ve r Lake and at i ts ou t fa l l wi th ana lys is for PCBs

TSS and seve ra l m isce l laneous water qual i ty parameters

In addition Figure 1 presents data f rom three miscellaneous sediment

compos i te samples co l lec ted f rom Si lver Lake in November 1992 by B las land amp

Bouck at the reques t of GE (Blas land amp Bouck December 1992)

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

11493 2-2 1293927AA

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

The brown solid appears to be primarily hydrated iron oxide (rust) possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or a boiler

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 1 - BACKGROUND

This summary provides informat ion requested by the Massachuset ts

Depar tment of Env i ronmenta l P ro tec t i on (DEP) re lated to Si lver Lake located in

P i t t s f i e l d Massachuset ts Based on the D E P s rev iew of b iweekly air sampl ing

result summaries prepared on behalf of the General Electric Company (GE) by

Zorex Corpo ra t i on P i t t s f i e ld M a s s a c h u s e t t s as part of the ongoing GE f a c i l i t y

Air Moni tor ing Program the DEP bel ieves Si lver Lake to be a l ikely sou rce of

polychlormated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air in the area In a letter dated

October 13 1993 the DEP requested that GE submit the information l isted below

with the Air Moni tor ing Summary Report to provide a context to review the air

11993 1-2 1293927AA

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY OF SILVER LAKE SOIL SEDIMENT AND

WATER-COLUMN DATA

To date the inves t iga t ions of S i lver Lake have focused on sediment and

water-co lumn data co l lect ion and analys is A summary of the data co l lec ted is

provided in Figure 1 This summary presents data col lected by S tewar t

Laboratories Inc (Stewart) Knoxvi l le Tennessee in 1980 and 1982 which

consisted of PCB results of 120 sediment samples col lected from 25 locat ions

Sur face water samples were also col lected by Stewart including eight samples

col lected from the Silver Lake out fa l l to the Housatonic River dur ing a s to rm

event and analyzed for total suspended sol ids (TSS) and PCBs (Stewart 1982)

Figure 1 also summarizes Si lver Lake sediment and water -co lumn data

collected by Blasland amp Bouck Engineers PC (Blasland amp Bouck) as part of the

1990-1991 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Phase II investigation of the

Housatonic River (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991 and August 1992) These

data include the results of the fo l lowing

bull Six sediment samples collected from three locations within the eastern

portion of the lake and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix IX

of 40 CFR Part 264 plus three additional const i tuents (benzidine 2shy

chloroethyl v inyl ether and 12-diphenylhydrazine) (Appendix IX + 3)

bull Water-column samples collected from the center of Silver Lake and at

its outfall to the Housatonic River during high-flow and low-flow

condit ions with analysis for Appendix IX + 3 const i tuents and

11993 2-1 1293927AA

bull Monthly water-column samples col lected over one calendar year f rom

the center of S i l ve r Lake and at i ts ou t fa l l wi th ana lys is for PCBs

TSS and seve ra l m isce l laneous water qual i ty parameters

In addition Figure 1 presents data f rom three miscellaneous sediment

compos i te samples co l lec ted f rom Si lver Lake in November 1992 by B las land amp

Bouck at the reques t of GE (Blas land amp Bouck December 1992)

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

11493 2-2 1293927AA

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

SECTION 6 - PERMITTED AND NON-PERMITTED DISCHARGES TO SILVER LAKE

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

permit ted under GE s NPDES Permit as wel l as two municipal s to rmwate r ou t fa l l s

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY OF SILVER LAKE SOIL SEDIMENT AND

WATER-COLUMN DATA

To date the inves t iga t ions of S i lver Lake have focused on sediment and

water-co lumn data co l lect ion and analys is A summary of the data co l lec ted is

provided in Figure 1 This summary presents data col lected by S tewar t

Laboratories Inc (Stewart) Knoxvi l le Tennessee in 1980 and 1982 which

consisted of PCB results of 120 sediment samples col lected from 25 locat ions

Sur face water samples were also col lected by Stewart including eight samples

col lected from the Silver Lake out fa l l to the Housatonic River dur ing a s to rm

event and analyzed for total suspended sol ids (TSS) and PCBs (Stewart 1982)

Figure 1 also summarizes Si lver Lake sediment and water -co lumn data

collected by Blasland amp Bouck Engineers PC (Blasland amp Bouck) as part of the

1990-1991 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Phase II investigation of the

Housatonic River (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991 and August 1992) These

data include the results of the fo l lowing

bull Six sediment samples collected from three locations within the eastern

portion of the lake and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix IX

of 40 CFR Part 264 plus three additional const i tuents (benzidine 2shy

chloroethyl v inyl ether and 12-diphenylhydrazine) (Appendix IX + 3)

bull Water-column samples collected from the center of Silver Lake and at

its outfall to the Housatonic River during high-flow and low-flow

condit ions with analysis for Appendix IX + 3 const i tuents and

11993 2-1 1293927AA

bull Monthly water-column samples col lected over one calendar year f rom

the center of S i l ve r Lake and at i ts ou t fa l l wi th ana lys is for PCBs

TSS and seve ra l m isce l laneous water qual i ty parameters

In addition Figure 1 presents data f rom three miscellaneous sediment

compos i te samples co l lec ted f rom Si lver Lake in November 1992 by B las land amp

Bouck at the reques t of GE (Blas land amp Bouck December 1992)

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

point Outfal l M2 discharges stormwater to Si lver Lake near the in te rsec t ion of

Silver Lake Boulevard and East Street This outfall appears to discharge

stormwater from catch basins located along East Street and yard drains located

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

APPENDIX C

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 2 - SUMMARY OF SILVER LAKE SOIL SEDIMENT AND

WATER-COLUMN DATA

To date the inves t iga t ions of S i lver Lake have focused on sediment and

water-co lumn data co l lect ion and analys is A summary of the data co l lec ted is

provided in Figure 1 This summary presents data col lected by S tewar t

Laboratories Inc (Stewart) Knoxvi l le Tennessee in 1980 and 1982 which

consisted of PCB results of 120 sediment samples col lected from 25 locat ions

Sur face water samples were also col lected by Stewart including eight samples

col lected from the Silver Lake out fa l l to the Housatonic River dur ing a s to rm

event and analyzed for total suspended sol ids (TSS) and PCBs (Stewart 1982)

Figure 1 also summarizes Si lver Lake sediment and water -co lumn data

collected by Blasland amp Bouck Engineers PC (Blasland amp Bouck) as part of the

1990-1991 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Phase II investigation of the

Housatonic River (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991 and August 1992) These

data include the results of the fo l lowing

bull Six sediment samples collected from three locations within the eastern

portion of the lake and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix IX

of 40 CFR Part 264 plus three additional const i tuents (benzidine 2shy

chloroethyl v inyl ether and 12-diphenylhydrazine) (Appendix IX + 3)

bull Water-column samples collected from the center of Silver Lake and at

its outfall to the Housatonic River during high-flow and low-flow

condit ions with analysis for Appendix IX + 3 const i tuents and

11993 2-1 1293927AA

bull Monthly water-column samples col lected over one calendar year f rom

the center of S i l ve r Lake and at i ts ou t fa l l wi th ana lys is for PCBs

TSS and seve ra l m isce l laneous water qual i ty parameters

In addition Figure 1 presents data f rom three miscellaneous sediment

compos i te samples co l lec ted f rom Si lver Lake in November 1992 by B las land amp

Bouck at the reques t of GE (Blas land amp Bouck December 1992)

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

11493 2-2 1293927AA

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

4 1 Cur rent Out fa l l s

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

Outfal l 003

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

The MCP Supplemental Phase II Scope of Work and Proposal for RCRA

Facility Investigation of Housatonic River and Silver Lake included a proposal to

conduct additional sediment and soil sampling and analysis from the edge of the

lake (Blasland amp Bouck Apri l 1993) This work has not been performed to date

and is pending EPADEP direct ion to proceed

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

SECTION 4 - CURRENT AND HISTORIC OUTFALLS TO SILVER LAKE

4 1 Cur rent Out fa l l s

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

point Outfal l M2 discharges stormwater to Si lver Lake near the in te rsec t ion of

Silver Lake Boulevard and East Street This outfall appears to discharge

stormwater from catch basins located along East Street and yard drains located

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

APPENDIX C

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 3 - ESTIMATED VOLUMES OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS AND

PCBs WITHIN SILVER LAKE

According to Stewart (1982) an est imated 63600 pounds of PCBs are

contained m Si lver Lake sediments Stewart further estimated that of this total

approximately 30000 pounds of PCBs are contained in Si lver Lake sed iments

located in the eastern po r t i on of the lake ad jacen t to the GE f a c i l i t y

In addition to the PCS mass estimates calculated by Stewart Blasland amp

Bouck on behalf of GE calculated and presented volume est imates related to

PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver Lake in the document ent i t led MCP

Interim Phase II Report Current Assessment Summary for Housatonic River

(Interim Phase II Report) (Blasland amp Bouck December 1991) These estimates

were calculated for three concentration ranges -- greater than 1 part per million

(ppm) 10 ppm and 50 ppm -- using the available PCB sediment data These

three concentrat ion ranges were selected for i l lustrative purposes only and do

not represent levels of regulatory s igni f icance

In order to obtain the volume est imates three depths were calculated

corresponding to the deepest presence of PCBs at concentrat ions greater than

1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm respectively at each of the sampling locations

The hor izontal surface area associated with each sample locat ion was then

multiplied by the corresponding depths of sediments containing PCBs greater

than 1 ppm 10 ppm and 50 ppm The estimated volumes of sediments

containing PCBs at these concentration ranges were then summed to obtain total

volume est imates Volume estimates of PCB-contammg sediments wi th in Si lver

Lake prev iously presented in the Interim Phase II Report are listed as fo l lows

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

Outfal l 003

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

Aluminum 037 1 32 Boron 017 0 13 Barium 0017 0358 Bismuth 006 081 Calcium 156 116 Cadmium ND 0006 Cobalt ND 0007 Chromium 0008 0058 Copper 0070 0882 Iron 849 236 Magnesi um 606 0228 Manganese 0054 0153 Molybdenum 003 003 Sodium 288 181 Nickel 005 005 Phosphorus 02 06 Lead ND 011 Antimony 017 015 Silicon 237 106 Tin ND 016 Titanium ND 0014 Zinc 0037 107 Zirconium 0081 0043 Strontium 0033 0010

The brown solid appears to be primarily hydrated iron oxide (rust) possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or a boiler

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 4 - CURRENT AND HISTORIC OUTFALLS TO SILVER LAKE

4 1 Cur rent Out fa l l s

F igure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s the ou t fa l l s to S i l ve r Lake c u r r e n t l y being used by GE

These outfalls are denoted as Outfal ls 001002 001A 003 and 004 These

out fa l ls were f i r s t permit ted under the National Pol lu t ion Discharge El iminat ion

Sys tem (NPDES) on December 19 1975 A copy of the f i r s t permi t for t h e s e

out fa l ls is included as Appendix A A copy of the current NPDES Permit related

to these outfal ls issued on May 21 1992 is included as Appendix B A brief

descript ion of the present uses related to each of these outfal ls is provided below

Outfa l l 001002

As shown in Figure 2 the sewer system components for Outfal ls 001 and

002 are combined to faci l i tate one d ischarge point This point of d ischarge

co l lec t ive ly referred to as Outfal l 001002 serves to convey process and

stormwater discharges to Si lver Lake f rom Bldgs 7 11 15 17 19 31 32

33X 41 41A 42 43 and 44 former buildings 26 27 and 29 assoc ia ted

yard drains and city s torm sewers in the northwestern port ion of the GE

facil i ty In addition non-contact cooling water is pumped into this system

f rom Bldgs 1 2 3 12 and 100

In 1992 the discharge line f rom Bldg 31 was sealed and is no longer

in use Discharge lines f rom Bldg 41 are scheduled to be sealed in 1993

Essentially all dry weather flows discharged from Outfall 001002 pass

through OilWater Separator (OWS) 31W (see Figure 3 for schemat ic) prior to

discharge The hydraulic capacity of OWS 31W is approximately 5 000 gallons

per minute (gpm) During rainfal l events if f lows to the OWS 31W exceed

5000 gpm the excess flow is diverted by way of the 31W Diversion Structure

(see Figure 3) to discharge directly to Si lver Lake via Outfal l 001A

11993 4-1 1293927AA

O u t f a l l 001A

As indicated above this out fa l l serves as a bypass for OWS 31W in

the event that s y s t e m f l o w r a t e s exceed app rox ima te l y 5 000 gpm (dur ing a

ra i n f a l l event o f s u f f i c i e n t magnitude) In addi t ion s u r f a c e runo f f f r o m c i t y

Outfal l 003

As shown in Figure 2 this outfal l conveys only stormwater f rom a yard

drain located in the western por t ion of the GE fac i l i t y along the east s ide

of S i l ver Lake Boulevard to Si lver Lake

Outfal l 004

The sewer system components associated with Outfal l 004 convey

process and stormwater from Bldgs 33 33A and 34 and related yard

areas as well as p rocess cool ing water which is pumped into the sys tem

f rom Bldgs 61 63 and 65 (see Figure 2)

In addition to the outfal ls described above Figure 2 i l lustrates the locat ions

of two additional currently active municipal outfal ls which discharge to Silver

Lake along its east side These out fa l ls are denoted in Figure 2 as M1 and

M2 Outfall M1 appears to discharge stormwater to Silver Lake near Outfal l 003

f rom a catch basin located ac ross Si lver Lake Boulevard f rom its d ischarge

point Outfal l M2 discharges stormwater to Si lver Lake near the in te rsec t ion of

Silver Lake Boulevard and East Street This outfall appears to discharge

stormwater from catch basins located along East Street and yard drains located

in the sou thwes te rn port ion of the GE fac i l i t y

SECTION 6 - PERMITTED AND NON-PERMITTED DISCHARGES TO SILVER LAKE

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 6 - PERMITTED AND NON-PERMITTED DISCHARGES TO SILVER LAKE

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

permit ted under GE s NPDES Permit as wel l as two municipal s to rmwate r ou t fa l l s

which discharge to Si lver Lake Figure 4 i l lustrates the locations of f i ve

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

APPENDIX C

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

SECTION 6 - PERMITTED AND NON-PERMITTED DISCHARGES TO SILVER LAKE

Sec t ion 4 p rov ides a d iscuss ion of severa l ou t f a l l s used by GE wh ich are

permit ted under GE s NPDES Permit as wel l as two municipal s to rmwate r ou t fa l l s

which discharge to Si lver Lake Figure 4 i l lustrates the locations of f i ve

Silver Lake

Whi le histor ic releases f rom the GE fac i l i t y to Si lver Lake have occur red

over a long period of time (as evidenced by the presence of PCBs m

sediments) GE began monitor ing e f f luen t quality in 1975 fo l lowing the issuance

of their NPDES permit In addit ion GE has maintained records of sudden

releases (i e spi l ls) at the GE fac i l i t y since the late 1980s GE reco rds f rom

the late 1980s to the present indicate that GE has experienced re leases of

materials to Silver Lake on three separate occasions (apart from regularly

permitted discharges) Details regarding these releases are provided in Appendix

C while a brief summary of each release is provided below

bull The f i r s t incident was reported on January 13 1989 and involved the

release of a rust-colored oily plume of material near Outfall 004 The

plume covered an area of Silver Lake of about 200 to 400 square feet

near Outfall 004 The origin of the material could not be determined

This plume dissipated shortly after being observed (GE January 1989)

bull The second release which was documented and reported on May 1

1990 involved the release of detergent to Si lver Lake via Out fa l l 004

This release apparently occurred during the washing of test equipment

related to Ordnance manufacturing operat ions Upon realizing the

11993 6-1 1293927M

initial release related equipment was shut down the residual wash

mater ials were removed drummed and disposed of and the equipment

was t h o r o u g h l y c leaned pr io r to r e s t o r i n g i ts use (GE May 1990)

The third incident occurr ing on May 3 1990 involved the release of

an estimated 200 to 300 gallons of si l icone oil to Silver Lake via OWS

31W and Out fa l l 001002 Wi th in 15 minutes of d i s c o v e r i n g the sp i l l

the area at the storm dram north of Building 3 had been bermed and

oil on the pavement was soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the

catch basin i t se l f and cal ls were made to al l operat ional personnel

along the route to OWS 31W to ins t ruc t them to turn off all nonshy

essential wastewater discharges (air condit ioning and batch

d ischarges) Four manholes along the route were opened af ter

checking for oxygen and other rest r ic ted access cr i ter ia and f low

barriers were created with sorbent

A watch was placed on OWS 31W including hourly oil and grease

sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in OWS-31W

to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to

f loat to the sur face for co l lect ion by the skimmer belts By mid-

afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at Outfall 001002 and by

late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area

to which Outfal l 001002 discharges

Discharge water at Outfal l 001002 was sampled for oil and grease

hourly beginning at 9 2 5 am on Thursday May 3 1990 and ending at

8 40 am on Friday May 4 1990 Oil and grease values exceeding

GEs NPDES Permit l imit of 15 mghter occurred over the e ight-hour

11993 6-2 1293927AA

period between 11 24 am to 6 30 pm on May 3 1990 Based on

water f l o w a to ta l of app rox ima te l y 28 pounds of oil and g rease was

d ischarged (approx imate ly 4 ga l lons)

During May 3 - 4 1990 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the

area of the outfal l and it is GEs belief f rom visual observat ion that

over 90 of the four gal lons was recovered Clean Harbors personne l

remained at OWS 31W around the clock through Monday morning May

7 1990 when it was clear that no additional release from the spill

was enter ing OWS 31W

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 1990 On

Saturday May 5 1990 at approximately 9 am an additional 600 feet

of harbor boom was placed to completely surround both the OWS 31W

discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of OWS 31W (Outfa l l

001A) Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there

was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was

deemed prudent to take the extra precaution (GE June 1990)

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

APPENDIX C

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

G Grant Bowman Manager - Environmental Engineering

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

Aluminum 037 1 32 Boron 017 0 13 Barium 0017 0358 Bismuth 006 081 Calcium 156 116 Cadmium ND 0006 Cobalt ND 0007 Chromium 0008 0058 Copper 0070 0882 Iron 849 236 Magnesi um 606 0228 Manganese 0054 0153 Molybdenum 003 003 Sodium 288 181 Nickel 005 005 Phosphorus 02 06 Lead ND 011 Antimony 017 015 Silicon 237 106 Tin ND 016 Titanium ND 0014 Zinc 0037 107 Zirconium 0081 0043 Strontium 0033 0010

The brown solid appears to be primarily hydrated iron oxide (rust) possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or a boiler

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

APPENDIX C

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

G Grant Bowman Manager - Environmental Engineering

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

1293927AA

11493

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Yours truly

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

The brown solid appears to be primarily hydrated iron oxide (rust) possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or a boiler

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3

Documentation Related to GE Releases to Silver Lake

January 17 1989

Mr Craig Goff Department of Environmental Quality Engineering 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Craig

This is a follow-up of my January 13 1989 phone call at approximately 1140 AM to report an apparent spill to Silver Lake I had been alerted to a discoloration in the lake by our plant guard force at approximately 1135 AM

After calling I went to the site to observe the location extending some 25 to 40 feet along the southwesterly shore up to a maximum of 8 to 10 feet from shore The plume appeared stationary and exhibited no foaming or oiliness There was a light sheen very close to shore which did not appear to be associated with the brown rusty appearing water

The plume existed some 15 to 20 feet south of the visible outfall pipe at our NPDES discharge point 004 There was no evidence of any discoloration in the pipe or the stone under the outfall itself Just south of the southerly end of the plume is another water inlet source this one draining East Street from our main South gate to the lake Attached is a sketch showing the location of the plume

By 1230 PM we had sampled the discolored water and by 500 PM had determined it to be unusually oily with a 236 iron content in the total suspended solids

Mr Craig Goff January 17 1989 Page - 2 shy

I have enclosed a copy of our lab report While a comment appears that it may be possibly from pumping out a rusty tank or boiler I have checked for such a possibility and found no activity of that nature Additionally boilers and tanks are not permitted to be cleaned and discharged through any of our outfalls

The plume had dissipated by Monday morning without any increase in size

Title Analysis of Brown Water at Outfall 004 Number EL-89-003 Date January 16 1989

Test by GJ Desnoyers Requested by GG Bowman Report by WA Fessler Approved 4WA]sjAslt-^

On January 13 1989a brown discoloration was noted in Silver Lake around the outfall 004A sample of the water was collected by P Jahn and brought to the laboratory for analysis The following results were obtained

Sample Identification No 01453 Chain of Custody No 00544

Measured Value Permit Limit PH 66 Oil and Grease 179 rog1 150 mg1 Total Suspended Solids 400 mg1 Phenol 003 mg1

The metals contents of the water sample and of the solid collected in the TSS measurement were determined

TO File FROM WA Fessler DATE May 1 1990

SUBJECT Cloudy water in Silver Lake

Grant Bowman called me at 10^5 and told me that cloudy water had been reported in Silver lake in the area of outfall OOt

I went to the lake and observed an area of turbid aroa-along the shore of the lake south of outfall 00 The water coming from OO^t at that time was clear This looked like a repeat of the cloudy water from last Thursday except that there appeared to be floating material this time

I collected a grab sample for Oil and Grease (0ampG) from an area about 20 feet south of the outfall along the shore where there was a very turbid area of water

There were many tadpoles and fish swimming in the water They did not seem to try to avoid the turbid areas Many tadpoles scurried away when I collected the sample There was a dead raccoon on the shore in the area but it appeared to have been there for a while

Don Moore was contacted and he arranged to collect a grab sample for OampG from the normal OO^t sampling point

Since there was more floating material than I observed in last weeks incident Clean Harbors was instructed to boom and clean up the patches of cloudy water along the east shore of Silver Lake both north and south of outfall OO^t

Ed Verminski was contacted to investigate the cause of this incident in the Ordnance manufacturing operations discharging to outfall 00 + He reported that the discharge occurred as a result of people washing down the test cell While the separators were working properly under normal load there was apparently enough residual detergent in the separator to cause the formation of an emulsion when the high flow from the wash down hit the separator The separators have been shut down and the holding tanks are being pumped out to drums for disposal According to Kevin Biernacki the separators w i l l be pumped into the holding tanks which w i l l again be pumped out The separators and the tanks will be thoroughly cleaned before they are restored to use

Incident was reported by phone to Larry Galonka ( DEP Western Region) at 00 PM on May 1 1990

June 13 1990

Mr Robert Terenzi Department of Environmental Protection 436 Dwight Street Springfield MA 01103

Dear Mr Terenzi

The spill of an originally estimated 200-to-300 gallons of silicone oil to the drains leading to oilwater separator 31W at Silver Lake NPDES outfall 001 was reported to your office (Mr Sloweick) on May 3 1990 at 845 AM and a follow-up letter of May 7 1990 You personally responded visiting the site and observing the spill cleanup actions during the afternoon of May 3

Responding to the spill were GEs Plant Protection and Facilities personnel Clean Harbors on-site personnel and Clean Berkshires Pittsfield Within 15 minutes of the spills discovery the area at the storm drain north of Building 3 had been bermed and oil on the pavement soaked up Sorbent pads were placed in the catch basin itself and calls made to all operational personnel on the route to 31W to turn off all non-essential wastewater discharges (air conditioning and batch discharges) Four manholes on the route were opened with personnel creating under flow barriers backed up by sorbent after checking for oxygen and other restricted access criteria

A watch was placed on 31W including hourly oil and grease sampling Harbor booms and sorbent pads were deployed in the separator to provide for minimum turbulence and maximum time for the oil to float to the surface for pickup on the skimmer belts By mid-afternoon a harbor boom had been placed at outfall 001 and by late afternoon the boom had been extended outside the marshy area to which 001 discharges

At your request the Pittsfield Conservation Commission was contacted and a message regarding the situation left on their

Mr Robert Terenzi June 13 1990 Page - 2 shy

answering machine You called and discussed the situation with the Pittsfield Department of Health office

Discharge water at 001 was sampled for oil and grease hourly beginning at 925 AM on Thursday May 3 and ending at 840 AM on Friday May 4 Those sample results are attached OampG values exceeding our NPDES limit of 15 ingliter occurred over the eight hour period 1124 AM to 630 PM May 3 Based on water flow a total of approximately 28 pounds of OampG was discharged (approximately 4 gallons)

During May 3 and May 4 conditions on Silver Lake were calm in the area of the outfall and it is our belief from visual observation that over 90 of the four gallons was absorbed to sorbent pads

Clean Harbors personnel remained at 31W around the clock through Monday morning May 7 when it was clear no continuing release from the spill was entering the separator

A fairly significant rainfall began on the evening of May 4 On Saturday May 5 at approximately 9 AM an additional 600 feet of harbor boom was ordered to completely surround both the 31W discharge and the stormwater bypass discharge of 31W Although no oil was observed coming out of the bypass there was a sheen outside of the harbor boom at the bypass and it was deemed prudent to take the extra precaution

Since May 7 several storms have caused Silver Lake to rise and fall in the area of the 31W outfall with a slight sheen appearing In the past week no sheen has been observed in the area It is my belief that the spill events immediate effects have been cleaned up and the small amount that entered the lake has been recovered Based on estimates of Clean Harbors and Clean Berkshire personnel something less than 100 total gallons of oil was recovered from the event Considering the return to background levels of 3 mg1 of oil and grease observed at 31W by 1130 PM May 3 it is my opinion that the original estimate of 200-to-300 gallons was in error by a factor of 2-to-3
