    QUESTIONS

    BY

    T.
    REOTT AND
    THE ILLINOIS
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    REGULATORY
    GROUP
    QUESTIONS
    FROM
    RAYMOND
    REOTT
    Question
    1: Which studies
    or data, if
    any, submitted to the
    Board correlate the
    proposed
    predicted
    indoor concentrations
    in
    the
    Johnson
    &
    Ettinger model
    to
    actual
    indoor
    air
    sampling?
    Of those studies,
    which
    correlate the
    proposed model to
    actual indoor sampling
    at sites in
    Illinois?
    Answer 1:
    The
    principal
    document is
    U.S. EPA’s OSWER
    Draft
    Guidance,
    Evaluating
    the Vapor
    Intrusion
    to Indoor Air Pathwayfrom
    Groundwater
    and Soils, published
    in 2002.
    None of
    the publications
    referenced
    by
    Illinois EPA, including
    U.S.
    EPA’s
    Draft Guidance,
    are
    specific
    to actual sites in
    Illinois;
    that is
    not the intent
    of these documents.
    -
    Question
    2: Why should
    depth
    to
    contamination
    matter
    for
    the outdoor inhalation
    pathway where the
    outdoor inhalation
    pathway
    for contamination
    deeper than 10
    feet is
    excluded
    based upon
    10 feet of
    any overlying clean soil,
    even sand, 35 Ill.
    Admin. Code
    742
    §
    11
    05(c)(3)(C)(iii), but not
    matter
    in Tier 1 for the proposed
    indoor inhalation
    pathway?
    Answer
    2:
    Illinois EPA used
    different fate
    and transport
    models to
    develop these
    two
    pathways.
    As
    a
    result
    of
    Illinois
    EPA’s work in developing
    the
    indoor
    inhalation
    proposal,
    the
    1

    outdoor inhalation
    pathway
    needs
    to
    be
    reviewed
    to account for
    the disparity. Illinois
    EPA
    did
    not re-evaluate the
    outdoor inhalation pathway
    as
    part
    of
    this
    rulemaking.
    Question
    3:
    What
    are
    the assumptions
    used
    in the
    Johnson
    &
    Ettinger model?
    Answer
    3:
    The
    Johnson & Ettinger
    parameter
    values
    and their
    sources
    are
    set
    forth
    in
    Appendix
    C,
    Table
    M.
    Question
    4: Which of
    the assumptions
    in the Johnson
    &
    Ettinger model
    have the
    highest
    sensitivity
    in
    terms
    of the
    values
    proposed
    by the agency in its
    Tier 1
    Table
    G?
    Answer
    4:
    The most
    sensitive
    parameters
    are water-filled
    soil porosity
    and fraction
    organic
    carbon content.
    Question
    5: What is the basis for
    believing that the chosen
    assumptions
    reflect
    representative Illinois
    conditions for the
    various parameters?
    Answer 5: Illinois
    EPA used numbers in
    the existing TACO
    rule
    as
    default
    parameters.
    Question
    6: Is the default porosity
    value
    chosen for the model
    for Tier 1
    representative
    of typical Illinois
    soil
    conditions? Is
    the FOC value selected
    as a
    default
    condition in
    the
    proposed model for Tier
    1
    representative
    of typical Illinois
    soil conditions? (Illinois
    EPA’s
    Proposed Amendments,
    35 Ill. Admin.
    Code §742, Appendix
    C,
    Table M)
    Answer
    6: If
    “typical” means
    average,
    then the answer
    to both
    questions
    is no. Using
    an
    average concept for
    these parameters
    would
    not be
    consistent
    with TACO. Illinois
    EPA chose
    Tier 1 default parameter
    values that
    are protective when
    applied statewide.
    Question
    7: Did
    the agency review
    any of the
    articles
    critical
    of the cumulative
    conservative
    assumptions
    of the
    Johnson
    &
    Ettinger
    model such
    as
    those published
    by
    USEPA?
    (See
    USEPA, Sept. 2005,
    J.
    Weaver and
    F. Tillman, Uncertainty
    and the Johnson-Ettinger
    Model
    for Vapor Intrusion
    Calculations;
    USEPA,
    Sept.
    2005, F. Tiliman
    and J.
    Weaver, Review
    of
    2

    Recent
    Research
    on Vapor
    Intrusion).
    If
    so,
    why
    are
    those
    criticisms not
    appropriate
    to
    consider
    as the
    Board
    evaluates
    whether
    to adopt
    regulatory
    standards
    based
    on the Johnson
    &
    Ettinger
    model?
    Answer
    7:
    Yes, Illinois
    EPA
    did review
    those
    articles.
    It
    is
    appropriate
    for the
    Board
    to
    consider
    any
    relevant
    information.
    Question
    8:
    Why is
    Illinois EPA
    proposing
    to apply
    the Johnson
    &
    Ettinger
    model
    to
    Illinois
    LUST
    sites
    when USEPA
    recommends
    against
    its use for
    LUST sites?
    Answer
    8: Key contaminants
    addressed
    in the
    LUST
    program
    — BTEX,
    MTBE,
    and
    naphthalene
    — are
    volatile
    chemicals.
    The program
    exclusion
    suggested
    here
    would
    not
    be
    consistent
    with
    TACO
    because TACO
    is
    a
    cross-program
    methodology
    that
    does
    not care
    whether
    the
    environmental
    release
    comes
    from
    a tank
    or a
    drum or a
    spill.
    Question
    9: Why
    is Illinois
    proposing
    to use
    the Johnson
    &
    Ettinger
    model in
    other
    contexts
    where
    USEPA
    does no
    recommend
    its use
    such as sites
    with
    buried
    pipelines
    where
    significant
    lateral
    flow of vapors
    occurs
    and
    sites
    with very
    shallow groundwater
    where
    the
    groundwater
    wets
    the building
    foundation?
    (USEPA’s
    User
    Guide
    for
    Evaluating
    Subsurface
    Vapor
    Intrusion
    into
    Buildings,
    Feb. 22,2004,
    p.
    69-70).
    Answer
    9:
    Illinois
    EPA is
    not
    recommending
    the
    use of this
    model where
    the
    underlying
    assumptions
    of the model
    are violated.
    At sites
    where there
    are known
    preferential
    pathways,
    as
    mentioned
    in the above
    question,
    the J&E
    model
    will
    not he used
    and the speeifi
    evhitign
    must
    take into
    account the
    site
    specific
    conditions,
    i.e. the
    nature
    and
    extent
    of the
    preferential
    pathways.
    This
    also
    applies to
    situations
    where the
    groundwater
    level
    is very shallow.
    Question
    10: What
    is
    the effect
    on the
    Tier
    1 values
    in Table
    G
    of
    assuming
    that
    the
    default
    building
    has
    a basement
    rather than
    slab
    on
    grade construction?
    3

    Answer
    10:
    It raises
    the
    Tier
    1 values.
    Question
    11:
    Did Illinois
    EPA
    review
    any
    studies
    of
    typical
    building
    size
    in
    Illinois
    before
    choosing
    the
    assumed
    dimensions in the
    proposed rule?
    Answer
    11:
    Illinois
    EPA
    did not
    use
    a
    typical
    building
    size
    because
    that
    would
    be
    an
    average
    and
    not
    sufficiently
    protective.
    Using
    an
    average
    approach
    would
    have
    required
    conditioning
    of every
    No
    Further
    Remediation
    letter
    based
    on
    building
    size.
    illinois
    EPA
    based
    its default
    dimensions
    on
    older,
    smaller
    homes
    and
    small
    retail
    sites.
    QUESTIONS
    FROM
    THE
    ILLINOIS
    ENVIRONMENTAL.
    REGULATORY
    GROUP
    Question
    1:
    What
    actions
    will
    the
    Agency
    take
    is
    an
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    is
    discovered at a
    leaking
    underground
    storage tank (“LUST”) site
    where
    the
    owner
    or
    operator
    has
    already
    been
    issued
    a
    No
    Further
    Remediation
    (“NER”)
    letter
    for.a
    prior
    release?
    a.
    What
    actions
    will
    the Agency take if
    the
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    is
    related
    to
    the
    prior
    release?
    b.
    Can
    the
    prior
    LUST
    incident
    be
    re-opened?
    c.
    Would
    the owner
    or operator
    report
    the
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    as
    a new
    release?
    Answer
    1: The
    Agency’s
    intent
    is not
    to
    reopen
    LUST
    site,
    due to
    an indoor
    inhalation
    issue,
    for which
    an NFR
    Letter
    has
    been
    issued.
    If
    the
    tank
    owner
    or
    operator
    wishes
    to
    address
    an indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    at
    a LUST
    site
    and
    to
    obtain
    a
    new NFR
    Letter,
    the
    owner
    or operator
    would
    need
    to
    enroll
    the
    site in
    the
    Agency’s Site Remediation
    Program
    (or
    Voluntary
    Cleanup
    Program).
    4

    a.
    The
    owner
    or operator
    would
    be
    referred
    to the
    Site
    Remediation
    Program.
    b.
    No. The
    LUST
    incident
    will
    not
    be
    reopened.
    c. No.
    The
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue should
    not
    be
    reported
    as a
    new release.
    Question
    2:
    Will
    corrective
    action
    to address
    the
    indoor
    inhalation
    pathway
    be
    eligible
    for
    reimbursement
    from
    the
    LUST
    Fund
    for releases
    where
    an
    NFR
    letter
    has
    already
    been
    issued?
    Answer
    2:
    No.
    If the
    owner
    or operator
    of
    a LUST
    site
    enrolls
    the
    site in
    the
    Site
    Remediation
    Program,
    the owner
    or
    operator
    would
    be
    responsible
    for paying
    corrective
    action
    costs at
    the site.
    Question
    3:
    Will
    the Illinois
    Pollution
    Control
    Board’s
    LUST
    regulations
    need
    to
    be
    amended
    to
    address
    issues
    related
    to reimbursement
    from the
    LUST
    Fund
    for indoor
    inhalation
    activities?
    Answer
    3: Yes.
    The
    LUST
    Program
    regulations
    will
    need to
    be
    amended
    to
    address
    issues
    related
    to reimbursement
    for the
    sites that
    have
    not
    received
    an
    NFR
    Letter.
    Question
    4:
    In
    the past,
    the Agency
    has
    indicated
    that it will
    void
    NFR letters
    at sites
    where
    an
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    is discovered.
    Is
    there
    an
    alternative
    process
    by
    which
    the
    indoor
    inhalation
    issue
    can
    be addressed
    at
    the
    site
    without
    voiding
    the
    NFR
    letter?
    Answer
    4: The
    owner
    or
    operator
    should
    enroll
    the
    site
    in the
    Site
    Remediation
    Program
    for an
    NFR
    Letter
    addressing
    the indoor
    inhalation
    exposure
    route.

    SUPPLEMENTAL
    TESTIMONY
    OF
    TRACEY
    HURLEY
    This testimony
    is in support
    of
    changes
    contained
    in Errata
    Sheet
    Number
    4.
    The
    remediation
    objectives
    listed
    in
    Appendix
    B, Tables
    A,
    B,
    C,
    D,
    and
    G
    should
    be rounded
    to two
    significant
    figures.
    This
    has
    been
    our practice
    since
    the
    original
    TACO.
    During
    our
    review
    of comments
    and
    other
    Errata,
    we
    noticed
    that some
    Of
    the
    remediation
    objectives
    have
    not been
    rounded
    correctly.
    We
    are
    not
    changing
    the
    soil
    remediation
    objectives
    for PCBs,
    the groundwater
    remediation
    objectives
    based
    on MCLs,
    or the
    values

    :For
    Arsenic
    the
    Class
    I Groundwater
    Remediation
    Objective
    listed
    in
    Appendix
    B, Table
    E
    has
    been lowered
    to
    reflect
    the
    change
    in
    the
    proposed
    Groundwater
    Quality
    Standards
    (35 Ill.
    Adm.
    Code
    620,
    R-08-18)
    for Class
    I
    groundwater.
    The
    pH
    Specific
    Soil Remediation
    Objectives
    for
    the Soil Component
    of
    the
    Groundwater
    Ingestion
    Route
    (Class I Groundwater)
    listed
    in Appendix
    B,
    Table
    C
    are
    based
    on the
    Class I
    groundwater
    remediation
    objective.
    The
    values for
    arsenic
    in Appendix
    B,
    Table
    C
    are
    now
    less than
    the
    soil
    background
    values listed
    in Appendix
    A,
    Table
    G. It was
    not our
    intent to
    have
    a
    soil
    remediation
    objective
    less than
    the soil
    background
    value.
    Therefore,
    we
    are deleting
    the
    numerical
    values
    for arsenic
    for all
    of the
    pH
    ranges
    and replacing
    them with
    “---i”.
    We are adding
    a corresponding
    footnote
    b which
    states
    “For arsenic,
    3

    see 742.Appendix
    A, Table
    G.”
    This
    is similar
    to the way
    we
    have treated arsenic
    for the
    ingestion
    route of exposure in Appendix
    B, Tables
    A and
    B.
    There is no change to
    the
    arsenic
    values listed in Appendix B,
    Table D
    for Class II groundwater because the
    Class
    II groundwater
    objectives have not
    changed.
    For
    2,4,6-Trichlorophenol
    change
    the
    value for pH 5.25 to 5.74 from 1 to
    1.0.
    Appendix B, Table
    D
    For 2,4-Dichiorophenol change
    the value for
    pH
    7.75
    to
    8.24
    from 9 to 9.0.
    For Pentachiorophenol change
    the
    value for
    pH
    4.75 to. 5.24
    from 7 to 7.0.
    For 2,4,6-Trichiorophenol change
    the value
    for
    pH 8.75
    to
    9.0
    from 0.8 to 0.80.
    Appendix
    B.
    Table
    G
    For Bis(2-chloroethyl)ether change
    the Soil Residential value from
    0.5’ to
    050d
    For Chloroform change the Soil Industrial/Commercial
    value
    from 0.2’ to
    0.20’
    and
    change the Groundwater Industrial/Commercialvalue
    from
    to
    1.0(1.
    For Hexachlorocyclopefltadiene change the Soil Residential
    value from
    51)
    toS.Ob.
    For Polychiorinated biphenyls change the
    Soil Gas Industrial/Commercial
    value
    from
    9g
    to
    90g
    -.
    For Trichioroethylene change the Groundwater Industrial/Commercial
    value from
    6
    d1to
    6
    .Od.
    Appendix
    C,
    Table
    E
    For Methyl tertiary-butyl ether the value for First Order
    Degradation
    Constant
    should
    be
    changed from
    1
    .93E-03 to No Data. Recall that during
    the hearings
    for the
    TACO
    R00- 19
    amendments,
    the
    Illinois EPA presented evidence
    that Methyl
    tertiary
    butyl ether does
    not
    degrade under some circumstances and
    therefore
    recommended
    that
    4

    the
    value for this
    parameter should
    be zero
    (page 3 of Dr. Hornshaw’s
    testimony). The
    Board
    agreed
    as stated in its First
    Notice
    Opinion and Order
    for the ROO-1
    9(C)
    docket
    at
    pages
    5 and 6. During
    our updating
    of the physical/chemical
    constants used in TACO
    equations,
    we mistakenly replaced
    the
    No
    Data
    entry with the value
    of 1 .9E-03 available
    from
    the
    literature source. As discussed
    above,
    this value should not
    be used and the
    original
    No Data entry should
    be
    relisted.
    Appendix
    C, Table L
    For equation J&El we are
    correcting the units to fig/mg after
    the 1000
    conversion
    factor
    in the denominator.
    This is correction
    to a
    change
    made in Errata
    Sheet 3. The
    units were correctly listed in
    my
    pre-filed
    testimony of February 20,
    2009 (pages 2-3)
    but
    were incorrectly listed in Errata Sheet 3 as Ig/g.
    This concludes my testimony.
