EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT CONSULTATION NO. 37-26-1296-96

79TII ARMY RESERVE COMMAND, NEW JERSEY APRIL - DECEMBER 1995

1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to identify which electrical transformers are owned by the 79th Army Reserve Command (ARCOM) activities and to determine if the associated dielectric fluid contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

2. SUMMARY. Telephonic and written correspondence with local utility companies was conducted to determine which electrical transformers servicing the centers were owned by the 79th ARCOM. A site visit involving USACHPPM personnel and a utility representative confirmed ownership of transformers that could not be determined by correspondence. Transformers located at the Sievers-Sandberg U.S. Army Reserve Center (USARC), Kilmer USARC, and the Cavens Point USARC were sampled between 11 and I 5 December I 995, by USACHPPM personnel and linesmen from the 287th Engineering Detachment, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR). The sampling procedure employed was delineated in a sampling plan developed by the Hazardous and Medical Waste Program of the USACHPPM. All other electrical transformers located at 79th ARCOM centers were either determined to be owned by the local utility or not under the jurisdiction of the 79th AR COM.

3. CONCLUSIONS

a. A total of three centers in New Jersey have electrical transformers owned by the 79th ARCOM. Electrical transformers at the reserve centers located at Fort Dix and Picatinny Arsenal were determined to be under the jurisdiction of the installation Environmental Management Office of these respective jurisdictions.

b. The sampling mission identified two large (500 KVA) pad-mounted transformers at the Sievers-Sandburg USARC that contained 430,000 ppm for PCBs and two pad-mounted transformers that contained 530 ppm and 1450 ppm, respectively. These transformers were classified as PCB-containing in accordance with 40 CFR 76 I .30 ( equipment over 500 ppm for PCBs ). These transformers were located in buildings that were part of an abandoned NIKE missile site at the Center. Three pole-mounted transformers and a pad-mounted transformer at the Sievers-Sandburg USARC and four pole-mounted transformers at the Cavens Point USARC were classified as PCB-contaminated in accordance with 40 CFR 761.30 (equipment between 50 and 500 ppm for PCBs).

c. Seventy-four additional electrical transformers: 39 at the Sievers-Sandburg USARC, 8 at the Kilmer USARC and 27 at the Cavens Point USARC were determined to be non-PCB.

b. Telephone conversation between Ms. Betsy Kimmerly, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -Baltimore District, Maryland, and 2LT Lisa Selke, USACHPPM, 11 January 1995, subject: Beginning Work on the Polychlorinated Biphenyl Transformer Survey.

3. PURPOSE. The purpose of this survey is to collect data for identifying the 79th Army Reserve Command Center (ARCOM) electrical transformers as containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or mineral oil (non-PCB) and to oversee san,pling ifneeded.

4. REGULATIONS.

a. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Title 40 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 761.30, requires that transformers containing dielectric fluid in excess of500 parts per million (ppm) be labeled as PCB-containing transformers and registered with fire response personnel and the building owner. In order to remain in service, PCB-containing transformers must be replaced with non-PCB equipment, retro filled with non-PCB oil and reclassified, or retrofitted with electrical surge protection and inspected on a quarterly basis.

b. Executive Order 12856 has committed Federal facilities to comply with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). In addition, the Executive Order has established pollution prevention (P2) goals for reducing the release and/or offsite transfer of certain chemicals by 50 percent by 1999. Compliance with the TSCA provides Community Right-to-Know information and reduces the potential for a toxic release in the spirit of Executive Order 12856.

5. BACKGROUND.

a. The 79th Army Reserve Command (ARCOM) is comprised of 16 active reserve operations throughout New Jersey. Each operation has various missions associated with the preparation and training of combat, combat service, and combat service support troops. The ownership of electrical transformers at these operations was unknown. A survey to determine ownership of electrical transformers and testing of transformers determined to be the property of the 79th ARCOM for polychlorinated biphenyls was requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District. These facilities and their status are delineated in the Table.

b. Polychlorinated biphenyls were the primary dielectric fluid used in transformer oil for several years. It was a nonflammable, dense, viscous liquid ideal for cooling the electrical coils in high current equipment. The usage and handling of PCBs was regulated by the USEP A subsequent to the assessment of safety and environmental concerns. Polychlorinated biphenyls are a carcinogen that have been scientifically proven to bioaccumulate by being stored in the fatty tissues of organisms that ingest or absorb PCBs, becoming concentrated in higher organisms that prey upon them. The regulation ofPCBs protects human health and the environment by recommending the removal ofPCB-containing equipment and requiring additional protection against accidental spills for PCB equipment remaining in service.

c. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) states that the owner ofPCB transformers are responsible for maintenance and possible releases to the environment (Appendix B). Leased facilities and those utilizing utility-owned equipment are exempted from liability unless a contractual agreement or negligence on the part of Reserve personnel is involved. Therefore, only the Federally-owned transformers containing PCBs cause concern in this regard.

d. Transformers which exceed a concentration of 500 ppm require labeling as a PCBcontaining transformer, registration with the local fire department, and quarterly inspections for integrity to be noted in the installation files according to 40 CFR 761.30, sections vi through ix, and 761.40 Subpart C, "Marking Requirements". Transformers determined to be PCBcontaining can remain in service provided they are retrofitted with electrical surge protection (such as a current limiting fuse) and automatic-disconnect equipment to de-energize the transformer in the event of over-pressure or overheating in accordance with 40 CFR 761 .30, section v. A PCB-containing transformer may .be reclassified as PCB-contaminated or non-PCB by replacing the dielectric fluid with non-PCB oil and re-sampling in accordance with conditions stated in 40 CFR 761.30, section v. These options vary with the type of transformer, the location, and the method of installation. In most cases, action must be taken within I 8 months of the discovery of a transformer containing over 500 ppm PCBs. Replacement of the PCB transformer with a non-PCB transformer may be a cost effective option when considering the age

2


of the transformer and costs associated with retrofitting or reclassification. Transformers discovered to contain between 50 and 500 ppm for PCBs are classified as PCB-contaminated; these transformers require labeling as PCB-contaminated but can remain in service without modification for the life of the transformer. Consult Title 40 CFR 761 in Appendix B for complete details.

e. Complying with 40 CFR 761 without removing the PCB-containing transformer leaves potential for a release should the transformer begin to leak. Cleaning up PCB spills is expensive, and may involve soil removal and ground water remediation. Eliminating the potential for an expensive spill reflects the spirit of the Pollution Prevention portion ofExecutive Order 12856.

are owned by the local utility. 79th; PCB - These facilities possess transformers which are owned by the 79th ARCOM, who

maintains operational, maintenance, and regulatory responsibility. The dielectric fluids have been characterized as containing PCBs.

79th; non-PCB - Same as above, except dielectric fluids characterized as not containing PCBs.

6. DISCUSSION.

a. Facility managers at the U.S. Army Reserve Centers (USARCs) were interviewed to determine if electrical transformers used by their Centers were owned by the 79th ARCOM. Local utility representatives were also contacted to determine the disposition ofelectrical transformers servicing the centers. Transformers that could not be determined by other means of correspondence, were confirmed by a site visit involving USACHPPM personnel and a representative from the local utility.

b. Transformers located at the Sievers-Sandberg USARC, Kilmer USARC, and the Cavens Point USARC were sampled for PCB-containing oils on 11 through 15 December 1995. Field supervision for the mission was conducted by USACHPPM; mission support was provided by electrical linesmen from the 287th Engineering Detachment USAR, located in Attleboro, MA. All sampling was conducted according to the sampling plan and site safety and health plan prepared by the Hazardous and Medical Waste Program at USACHPPM found in Appendix C Laboratory analysis was accomplished using the ASTM method D4059 by the USACHPPM Directorate of Laboratory Sciences at APG, MD.

MCHB-DC-EHM SUBJECT: Hazardous Waste Management Consultation No. 37-26-12%-96, Apr-Dec 1995

7. FINDINGS.

a. A total of 13 Centers in New Jersey were determined to be serviced by transformers that were not owned by 79th ARCOM. These Centers either did not have a transformer on the property, were serviced by utility owned transformers, or were a tenant activity at a Federal installation. The TSCA regulations (Appendix B) exempts these facilities from liability unless a contractual agreement or negligence is involved. A complete listing of these centers can be in the Table and in Appendix D.

b. Electrical transformers at the Kilmer USARC were determined to be non-PCB through sampling conducted by USACHPPM on 14 December, 1995. Observations made at these Centers can be found in Appendix D; laboratory analyses for the Kilmer USARC can be found in Appendix E, Table I.

c. Two Reserve Centers had Federally-owned transformers that were determined to be PCBcontaminated (50-500 ppm for PCBs) or PCB-containing transformers (over 500 ppm for PCBs), as defined by 40 CFR 761.40 (see Appendix B). Activities at these Centers and sampling results are summarized below.

(I) Sievers-Sandburg USARC, Edison, NJ

(a) Two General Electric 500 KVA pad mounted transformers were located in a missile launch control building (Missile Master) that was part ofan abandoned NIKE missile site at the center. One transformer (serial# C-504108) was sampled (sample PT22P) and found to be PCBcontaining (430,000 ppm); the second transformer (serial# C-504107) could not be sampled for fear of causing damage to the equipment. The second transformer was assumed to be PCBcontaining for the following reasons: the serial numbers indicated that the transformers were manufactured in sequence and probably filled from the same batch of dielectric fluid, both transformers were listed as containing 'Pyranol' a General Electric brand name for PCBcontaining oil, and both were manufactured during the 1956-1960 timeframe (when PCB use was prevalent). Three Westinghouse 50 KVA pad mounted transformers located in an auxiliary building at the NIKE site were also sampled. Two transformers, (serial# 57E3514, and# 57E3516) were PCB-containing, holding 530 ppm (sample PT24P) and 1450 ppm (sample PT25P) respectively. The third transformer (serial# 57E3511) was PCB- contaminated, containing 161 ppm for PCBs (sample PT23P). An oil-cooled switch located in the auxiliary building was sampled and found to be non-PCB. These transformers should be removed from service immediately and disposed of in an appropriate manner. They are located in areas no longer used by the Center, precluding the need for continuous power supply. Further, the relative age (greater than 36 years) of this equipment would make it difficult to effectively retrofit with

5


another dielectric fluid and use for an extended period of time. Costs would prove extreme for the briefpayback period that would incur.

(b) A total of41 transformers (in addition to those at the NIKE site) were sampled on December I I through 13, 1995. A pole-mounted transformer (serial# D442572-59P; sample PT! SP) located adjacent to building 474 and a pole-mounted oil switch (serial# 46093; sample PT20P) located by building 404 were found to be PCB-contaminated, containing 86 ppm and 120 ppm PCBs respectively. A pole-mounted transformer (serial# 2426-4; sample PT33P) located in a parade field by route 130 was PCB-contaminated (150 ppm PCBs). The remaining transformers were determined to be non-PCB. Laboratory analyses can be found in Appendix E, Table 2.

(2) Cavens Point USARC, Jersey City, NJ.

(a) A total of21 transformers (I pad-mounted and 20 pole-mounted) which support the Center were sampled on December 14 through 15, 1995. Two pole-mounted transformers (serial# 15410, and 15407; samples PT58C and PT60C) located by building 198 and two polemounted transformers (serial# 15409 and 15404; samples PT68C and PT70C) located adjacent to building 204 contained PCB levels between 40 ppm, and 42 ppm. These transformers had reportedly not been in use for many years, as the serviced buildings had been unused/abandoned. The necessity ofretaining such utilities should be reviewed. In these instances it would appear prudent to remove the transformers in question and dispose ofappropriately. Also, access to the dielectric fluids in these pieces of equipment was limited at the time of this investigation. Therefore, samples were coIJected from the surface of each reservoir. The PCBs, which are viscous and possess a high-molecular weight, may have settled to the bottom ofthe reservoirs after such extended periods ofdisuse. The fluids in question are considered to be PCBcontaminated (between 50-500 ppm), as a conservative assumption, due to these considerations and the elevated concentrations observed in the surface samples. As depicted, these transformers should be removed and handled as PCB-contaminated equipment for final disposition. All other transformers located at the site were contained less than I 9 ppm PCBs and are classified as nonPCB. The corresponding laboratory analyses can be found in Appendix E, Table 3.

(b) A total ofnine transformers at the Cavens Point USARC were located in outlying areas east of building 204 that are no longer used by the center. Some of these transformers remained energized, while others had been abandoned in place. These transformers presented a potential fire and environmental hazard due to the age and poor condition of the poles and overhead wires to which they are attached. The entire area has not been used by the Center for several years. If there are no plans to revitalize this region, remove all transformers and dispose of in an appropriate manner.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS.

a. Kilmer USARC: The site is currently under contract to have electrical transformers replaced; transformers removed from the site should be re-used or properly disposed of as nonPCB transformers. Transformers remaining in service should be labeled as non-PCB in accordance with 40 CFR 761.45.

b. Sievers-Sandburg USARC: The pad-mounted transformers at the abandoned NIKE site should be removed from service and disposed of as PCB-containing transformers. Transformers determined to contain between 50ppm and 500ppm PCBs (samples PT15P, and PT33P) should be labeled as PCB-contaminated in accordance with 40 CFR 761.45 and remain in service. All other transformers located at the site should be labeled as non-PCB and remain in service. Refer to Table 2, Appendix E and the site plan for transformer locations and PCB determination.

c. Cavens Point USARC: Transformers determined to contain between 40ppm and 500ppm PCBs (samples PT58C, PT60C, PT68C and PT70C) should be labeled as PCBcontaminated, as described in paragraph 7c(2)(a) of this report, and remain in service. All other transformers located at the site should be labeled as non-PCB. Transformers servicing areas no longer used by the Center should be taken out of service for disposal or reuse. Electrical transformers that have been abandoned in place should be properly disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 761.45. Refer to Table 3, Appendix E and the site plan for transformer locations and PCB determination.
