Section 1.0 Introduction and Backqround
The Augusta-Richmond County is seeking proposals from professional
environmental consulting firms with experience in hazardous site investigation & risk
evaluation and Brownfields site assessment and redevelopment preferably in the
State of Georgia and experience in development of EPA Quality Control Project
Plan document.
EPA has selected the City of Augusta for a Brownfields Pilot. The Pilot targets the
1 0.8-acre Goldberg Brothers salvage yard. The site is located on Dan Bowls Road
in Hyde Park Subdivision, next to a residential area and creates a real health and
safety hazard. The site has operated as a salvage yard for the past 30 years with
historic environmental hazards. The salvage yard was closed in 1998. The former
use of the site prior to salvage yard was community vegetable gardens.
The neighborhood residents suffer from numerous health problems perceived to be
associated with exposure to toxic chemicals. Community complaints led to limited
investigation by Federal and State regulatory agencies. High levels of Metals and
PCBs were found in soil and mercury was found in groundwater.
The site appears to present a health risk via exposure to soil, groundwater and
surface water. The Augusta-Richmond County with the assistance of residents of
the area and business community wants to redevelop the site for
commercial/industrial use. The Brownfields Grant provides resources for
assessment of nature and extent of the contaminants suspected to be present at
the site.
Section 1.2 Professional Services
Requested selected major services are:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment;
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment;
Risk Based Corrective Action Remedial Standard;

The Elam Residence Site is located at 2027 Walnut
Street in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. The site
occupies one residential property located in the Hyde
Park neighborhood adjacent to an area called the
Southeastern Augusta Industrial Site.

In 1993, the U.S. EPA conducted a site
investigation at several facilities located within the
Southeastern Augusta Industrial Site. The study area
also included the neighboring Hyde Park residential
area which borders a portion of the industrial area.
The study indicated that elevated levels of PCB's and
metals were detected in soil samples collected on the
Goldberg Brothers Recycling, Inc. property. The
Goldberg facility is a metal recycling facility which
occupies 9.7 acres adjacent to the Hyde Park
neighborhood. These contaminants were also detected in
a drainage ditch which runs through the Hyde Park
neighborhood. These contaminants appeared to be
migrating from the Goldberg property.
In 1994, Goldberg signed a consent order with the
Ga. EPD to address on-site contamination and surface
water drainage. As a result of the order, Goldberg
constructed a berm around a portion of the facility to .
prevent any additional runoff from impacting the
adjacent residential area. The Ga. EPD also utilized
State Superfund money to remove the contaminated
sediment from the drainage ditch that runs through the
Hyde Park neighborhood.
In 1997, at the request of the Hyde Park and
Aragon Park Improvement Committee Inc., the U.S. EPA
conducted a site investigation at the Goldberg
facility. This investigation included an on-site
radiation survey, and off-site soil sampling. Samples
were collected from residential yards that border the
Goldberg facility, and of drainage pathways leading
from the facility through the Hyde Park neighborhood.
The residential samples were collected from areas in
the backyards that appeared to have been impacted by
past runoff from Goldberg. Lead and PCB's were
detected in some of the samples,
In November, 1997, EPA conducted a second round of
soil. sampling (Phase II) in the Hyde Park Neighborhood.
The purpose of this investigation was to further
characterize soil conditions in the residential yards
of concern. The data from the phase II sampling
investigation indicted that lead was detected in the
surficial soils at levels of a public health concern at
the Elarn residence only. Laboratory analysis from the
1997 soil sampling investigations revealed lead levels
as high as 1,400 parts per million (ppm).

The OSC determined that the 'si~ met the criteria
for a time critical removal action as defined under 40
CFR part 300, of the National Con~ingency Plan (NCP) ,
section 300.415(b) (2).
The lead in the surficial soils pose an immediate
threat to the health and safety of residents of the
property, neighbors, and trespassers who may enter the
site. Human exposure to site related contaminants may
occur via inhalation of windborne dust, inadvertent
ingestion of contaminated soil and direct contact with
the contaminated surficial soils.
Surface water runoff migrates away from the site
and enters the Hyde Park surface water drainage system.
The Hyde Park drainage is expected to eventually reach
Phinizy Swamp, a large wetland area approximately 6000
feet to the east of the site. The swamp extends
approximately 5-6 miles to the south-southeast before
meeting with the main channel of the Savannah River.
The contaminants of concern pose a threat to the
terrestrial flora and fauna of the above mentioned
surface water migration pathways.

I
I
I
I
I
I
Using the analytical data from the 1997 sampling
investigations, EPA's Office of Technical Services
conducted a Health Consultation/Risk Assessment for the
site. In determining whether or not the concentrations
detected in the surface soil samples were at
unacceptable risk levels, the arithmetic average of the
detected concentrations in each yard/residence was
calculated. The average concentration of lead in the .'
Elam yard was 808 ppm. Every sample collected in the
Elam yard had a detection of lead above EPA's screening
level of 400 ppm. The detected concentrations of lead
in the Elam yard were determined to be at an
unacceptable level for exposure to children.
On 6/22/98, EPA along with the ERRS and START
contractors mobilized to the Elam property site to
initiate removal activities.
The ERRS contractor, IT Corporation began
excavating the backyard of the Elam residence.
Approximately one foot of soil was removed from four 50

foot by 50 foot grids. During exca~tion, a water
spray was applied to the soil to minimize airborne
dust. The soil was loaded direct~y onto trucks and
transported offsite to the BFI Hickory Ridge landfill
in Conley, Ga. Approximately 200 cubic yards of lead
contaminated soil was transported Off-site.
Following the excavation, the START contractor
collected confirmation soil samples from the excavated
grids. Lead levels in the confirmation soil samples
were well below the 400 ppm cleanup goal established
for the site, The excavated grids .were then backfilled
with clean fill, regraded to original grade and
revegetated.
Start collected pre-excavation and post-
excavation wipe samples for lead from inside of the
Elam residence. Both samples were non-detect for lead.
On 6/26/98, the EPA, ERRS, and START demobilized from
the site concluding the removal activities.
B. Community Involvement:
The Hyde Park and Aragon Park Improvement
Committee were kept informed of all activities
pertaining to the Elam Residence site from the initial
site investigation through the completion of the
removal activities.

SITE INVESTIGATION LETTER REPORT
GOLDBERG RECYCLING SITE
AUGUSTA, RICHMOND COUNTY, GEORGIA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Direction
Document (TOO) No. 04-9710-0007, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region
4, assigned to the PRC Environmental Management, Inc. (PRC), Superfund Technical Assessment and
Response Team (START). The overall scope of this TOO, monitored by On-Scene Coordinator (OSC)
John Nolen, was to perfonn soil sampling of residential yards adjacent to the Goldberg Recycling
facility in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. Specific elements of this TOO included conducting
soil sampling, documenting all on-site activities with written log notes (see Appendix A), collecting
photographic documentation of site activities (see Appendix B), and preparing a letter report.
2.0 SITE BACKGROUND
-
The Goldberg Recycling site (Goldberg) is located at 241 Bowles Road in Augusta, Richmond County,
Georgia (see Figures I and 2). The 9.7-acre site is a metal recycling facility that consists of two large
buildings with attached offices and a vehicle maintenance area. A large portion of the property is
covered wirh scrap meral. Several roadways, including Bowles Road, run through rhe faciliry to allow
trucks to deliver and remove scrap metal. The portion of the site south of Bowles Road, known as
Richmond Recycling, began operation in 1990, but was used to store prefabricated lumber prior to that,,'
date, The portion of the site north of Bowles road, which Goldberg purchased in 1979, has been an
active scrap yard since 1952, The Goldberg facility is bound to the northwest by a railroad line, to the
northeast by a highway bridge and drainage ditch, to the southeast by a residential area, and to the
southwest by M's Salvage (see Figure 3). Runoff from the northern side of the site tends to flow
northeast before being controlled and directed by drainage ditches into the stonn runoff drainage ditch.
At the request of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the Hyde Park and Aragon Park
Improvement Community, Jnc., the EP A conducted a site investigation at the Goldberg site on May 13,
1997.

3,0 SAMPLING SUMMARY
On November 5, 1997 , START mobilized to the Goldberg site to conduct soil sampling of the
residential yards east of the facility. After receiving access to the residential properties, EPA requested
that START collect 13 composite surface soil samples from designated yards on Walnut Road (see
Figure 3).
START began soil sampling activities at the Elam residence. The backyard was gridded into four
equally sized grids (see Figure 4), A five-point composite surface sample was collected from each of
the four grids (GR-SS-01 through GR-SS-04). An additional surface composite sample was collected
from the Elam residence, in an area 3 feet from the scrap yard fence line (GR-SS-05). This sample
was collected in an attempt to replicate sampling results from the May 1997 sampling evem.
START then gridded and sampled the Brown residence yard and the Jackson residence yard. The
backyards of these residences were measured, gridded, and sampled in the same manner as the Elam
residence yard. Samples GR-SS-06 through -09 were collected from the Brown residence (see Figure
5), and samples GR-SS-lO through -13 were collected from the Jackson residence (see Figure 6).
START members collected 13 composite surface soil samples from three yards adjacent to the
Goldberg facility. All samples were collected in accordance with the EPA Region 4 Science and
Ecosystem Support Division Envirorunental Investigations Standard Operating Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual. The soil samples were assigned numbers corresponding to the designated grid that
was sampled, individually tagged and sealed, and chain-of-custody reports were completed. START
demobilized from the site, returning to the Atlanta START office on November 5, 1997. START
delivered the samples to Analytical Envirorunental Services, Inc. (AES), in'Norcross, Georgia 6n
November 6, 1997.
4,0 ANAL YTICAL RESULTS
EPA used a special project TOO, No. 04-9710-0007, to authorize the costs associated with providing
the analytical services for this project. AES was contracted by START to analyze the 13 composite soil
samples for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), volatile

organic compounds, and semivolatile organic compounds. AES delive~ the analytical results to
START on November 21, 1997. START's analytical coordinator generated an analytical repon, with
summary tables showing analytical results (see Attachment A).
Of the 13 samples analyzed, six samples contained lead levels above the 400 milligrams per kilogram
(mg/kg) EPA-established screening level. One sample contained elevated arsenic levels, and five
samples exhibited PCB levels above the laboratory reponing limits.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Under TDD No. 04-9710-0007 , START performed soil sampling of residential yards adjacent to the
Goldberg facility. Analytical results indicated elevated levels of lead and PCBs in the Elam residence
backyard. Lead levels ranged from 506 mg/kg to 1,280 mg/kg, and PCB levels ranged from 7.9
mg/kg to 16.0 mg/kg. Soil samples collected from the grids adjacent to the Goldberg facility contained
the highest contaminant levels. EPA will use these results ro derermine future actions ar these sires. At
rhis time, no funher action is required by START under this TD D.

(QC) sample analyses were performed:
......IIi
· VOC on batch QC sample: The matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD)
each showed one of five spiked component percent
recoveries below the quality assurance/quality control
(QA/Qc) recommendation of 80 to 120 percent;
however, all were within method limits. In addition,
sample surrogate and laboratory control sample percent
recoveries were within method QC limits. Analytical
precision was within the QA/QC guideline of 20 relative
percent difference (RPD).
· SVOC on sample GR-SS-13: The MS showed 8 of 11 spiked component percent
recoveries exceeding the QA/QC recommendation of 80
to 120 percent. The MSD showed similar results, with
10 of 11 percent recoveries exceeding. guidelines.
However, all were within method QC limits. Soil
sample GR-SS-03 showed some matrix interferences with."
two of six surrogate recoveries below recommended
method limits. All other sample surrogate recoveries
were within the guideline and all laboratory control
sample percent recoveries were within method QC
limits. Analytical precision was within the
recommended 20 RPD.
· PCB on sample GR-SS-13: The MS/MSD showed the spiked component percent
recoveries below the QA/QC recommendation of 80 to
120 percent.. However, both were within method
guidelines. Analytical precision was 20 RPD.
· Metals on sample GR-SS-Ol: The MS showed all percent recoveries within the
QA/QC recommendation of 75 to 125 percent, except,"'
for cadmium (73 percent), and chromium (69 percent).
The recovery for lead could not be calculated due to the
elevated lead concentration within the sample. The
laboratory control sample percent recoveries were within
the QA/QC guidelines. Analytical precision was within
20 RPD.
A summary of the sample data is presented in Table 1.

......IIi
1.0 SITUATION
This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Direction Document
(TDD) No. 04-9705-0007, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Emergency
Response and Removal Branch, assigned to the PRC Environmental Management, Inc. (PRC),
Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START). Under this TDD, EPA tasked
START to prepare a health and safety plan, conduct air monitoring and multimedia sampling, provide
written and photographic documentation of site activities, and prepare a letter report including site
diagrams and maps. The field logbook notes and the site photograph log are included in Appendices
A and B, respectively. All figures follow the text portion of this repon.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The Goldberg Recycling (Goldberg) site is located at 241 Bowles Road in Augusta, Richland County,
Georgia (see Figures 1 and 2). The 9.7-acre site is a metal recycling facility which consisting of two
large buildings with offices and operations such as vehicle maintenance. The majority of the property
is covered with scrap metal. Several roadways, including Bowles Road, run through the facility to
allow trucks to deliver and remove scrap metal. The portion. of the site south of Bowles Road, known
as Richmond Recycling, began operation in 1990, but was used to store prefabicated lumber prior to
that date, The ponion of the site north of Bowles road, which Goldberg purchased in 1979, has been
an active scrap yard since 1952. The facility is bound to the northwest by a railroad line, to the
northeast by a highway bridge and drainage ditch, to the southeast by a residential area, and to the
southwest by M's Salvage. (see Figure 3). Runoff from the northern side of the site tends to flow to
the northeast before being controlled and directed by drainage ditches into the storm runoff drainage
ditch, At the request of the State and the Hyde Park and Aragon Park, Improvement Cummunity,
Inc" the EPA conducted a site investigation at the Goldberg site on May 13,1997,

3.0 SUMMARY OF FIELD ACTMTIES
On May 13, 1997, prior to START intiating sample collection, EP A's radiation survey team
conducted an air monitoring investigation for a suspected radiation source allegedly located on the
Goldberg property. The radiation source was subsequently located and isolated. Upon arrival at the
site, START met with the EPA Task Monitor, representatives from the Georgia Environmental
Protection Division, and Arthur Smith, an advisory board member of the Hyde Park and Aragon
Park, Improvement Community, Inc. After meeting with Mr. Smith to recieve access to the
residential properties, EPA requested that START collect eight samples from designated areas and
split samples from each location. After conducting air monitoring with a Foxboro Organic Vapor
Analyzer around the perimeter, START collected four surface grap samples and one subsurface grab
sample from an area southeast of the earthen berm adjacent to the homes bordering the Goldberg
facility. Additionally , START collected two samples from the storm water drainage ditches where
water migrates off the Goldberg site to the southwest towards Walnut Street, and one sample from the
drainage ditch located on Leona Street near the Jenkins Elementary School. The table below lists
sample locations which are presented on Figure 2.

The analytical data package was received within the required 2-week period, and all sample analyses
holding times were met, Laboratory blanks showed some acetone, methylene chloride,
di-n-butylphthalate, and bis(2-Ethylhexyl)phthalate contamination. Their concentrations are presented in
the summary tables at the end of this report. Background corrections were applied to the TAL metals
data,
The following matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates (MS/MSD) were performed:
· VOC on soil sample SS-05: The MS/MSD showed all spiked component percent
recoveries within the quality assurance/quality control (QA/Qc) recommendation of 80
to 120 percent. Analytical precision showed all recoveries within the QA/QC guideline
of 20 relative percent difference (RPD), All VOC sample surrogate re~overies and
laboratory control sample percent recoveries were within the method QC limits,
· SVQC on soil sample SS-O 1: Both the MS and MSD showed 6 out of 11 spiked
component percent recoveries below the QA/QC guideline of 80 percent. However, all
percent recoveries were within the method QC limits. Analytical precision showed all
duplicate recoveries within the method RPD guidelines, All SVOC sample surrogate
recoveries, if not diluted out, were within the method QC limits. All SVOC laboratory
control sample percent recoveries were within method QC limits.
· Pesticide on soil sample SS-02: MS/MSD percent recoveries were not determined for
sample SS-02 due to elevated levels of PCBs, which caused severe matrix interference
during pesticide analysis. Soil samples SS-OI, SS-03, SS-04, SS-05, SS-06, and SS-07,'
were not analyzed for pesticides since they contained elevated levels of PCBs. N9 PCBs
were detected in sample SS-08. All pesticide sample surrogate recoveries and laboratory
control sample percent recoveries were within method QC limits.
· PCB on soil sample SS-05: The MS/MSD percent recoveries were within the QA/QC
recommendation of 80 to 120 percent. Duplicate analysis showed analytical precision
within the guideline of 20 RPD. All PCB sample surrogate recoveries and laboratory
control sample percent recoveries were within the QA/QC guideline of 80 to 120 percent.

· TAL on soil sample SS-Ol; mercury on soil sample SS-08: The MSIMSD showed all
spiked component percent recoveries within the QAlQC guideline of 80 to 120 percent,
except for antimony (63%, 51 %), chromium (130%, 121 %), and manganese (142%,
150%). High percent recoveries for aluminum, copper, iron, lead, and zinc were
attributed to elevated concentrations of these metals in the sample, Duplicate analyses
showed analytical precision within the QA/QC guideline of 20 RPD. The TAL
laboratory control sample percent recoveries were all within the QA/QC
recommendation, except for cyanide (59%), This indicates that sample cyanide
concentrations may be higher than reponed,
Due to matrix interferences, elevated detection limits were reponed for SVOC analysis on ~ples SS-03
and SS-04. A summary of the sample data is presented in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4,

In March 1993, US EPA, Region IV, Colllected twenty-six ditch sediment samples in the
Hyde Park Subdivision. PCBs and lead were at. levels identified by ATSDR to be a public health
concern i one ditch that flows from The GoldbeJrg Brothers Recycling property line to the .
railroad tracks near Jenkin's School (see attachment 1). The highest level of lead detected was
1800 mglkg, and the highest level of PCBs was 13.2 mglkg. ditch surface water also showed
elevated levels of lead (0.049 mg/l). All the maximum levels were detected at the north end of
the ditch near Goldberg Brothers Recycling.
SITE DESCRIPTION (directions to site, general site map, relevant site features and site
conditions):
The ditch is' located in the Hyde Park Subdivision between Goldberg Brothers Recycling
and the railroad track near Jenkin's School in southeast Augusta. The ditch has a trapezoidal
shape and is concrete lined.

DATE OF TRIP:
March 20, 1995
OFFIOALS CONTACTED:
None,
REFERENCE:
HSRA
BACKGROUND:
This investigation focused on the verification of current site conditions to
determine the accuracy of the Reportable Quantities Screening Method (RQSM)
evaluation.
The Goldberg Brothers facility. operates as a scrap metal recycler. In March 1993,
USEP A, Region IV, collected sediment samples from an unlined surface water drainage
ditch originating from the Goldberg Brothers Recycling property. Laboratory analyses
indicate elevated levels of lead and PCBs are present in the drainage ditch. .
The drainage ditch traverses four residential streets within the Hyde Park
Subdivision. Ultimately the drainage ditch empties into a larger unlined surface
drainage ditch which borders the Jenkins Elementary School property. .
SUMMARY:
No officials from the Goldberg Brothers facility were contacted. A windshield
survey was conducted to verify the accuracy of the RQSM evaluation. The windshield

survey largely consisted of identifying residential drinking water wells in the Hyde Park
Subdivision. It was determined the residents living at 2062 Walnut Street utilize a
private well to obtain drinking water. The location of the well is less than ~ mile from
the Goldberg Brothers property.
CONCLUSIONS:
A reportable release is present at the subject site, The regulated substances
detected in the surface water drainage ditch are attributable to the Goldberg operations,
The abundance of source material present at the facility suggests off-site migration of
contaminants will continue, No evidence of containment structures was observed which
would reduce the possibility of contaminants migrating off-site via the surface water or
air pathways, .
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FOLLOW-up REQUIRED:
It is recommended that the Goldberg Brothers facility be listed on the Georgia
Hazardous Site Inventory. Additional investigations required under the Hazardous Site
Response Act will allow the responsible party and/or EPD to define the extent of
contamination and determine the actions necessary to effectively remediate the site,

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report has been prepared under Contract #561755-4-2 for sediment and surface
water sampling and analysis performed during 18-20 April 1995 at the Hyde Park Subdivision
Ditch in Augusta. Georgia. The scope of work was performed in accordance with the EP A
approved Sediment Characterization and Removal Workp1an and KEMRON's site specific
Sampling and Analysis Plan.

2.0 SUMMARY OF FIELD INVENTORY
. 2.1 SAMPLING l\1ETHODS
Soil sediment samples were collected from each approximately 100 foot interval of the ditch.
Three samples from each 100 feet were collected and compo sited into a single sample for
laboratory analysis. All samples were analyzed for total metals (EPA Method 6010) and PCBs
(EPA Method 8080). A total of 15 s~ent samples were collected along the estimated 1,500
foot ditch. Sediment samples were collected using a decontaminated stainless steel spoon and
composited in a decontaminated stainless steel bowl. One duplicate soil sample was collected to
document quality assurance/quality control.
One surface water sample was collected from within the ditch. Most of the ditch was found to be
- ' .
. dry, The water was analyzed for total metals, PCBs, total suspended solids, COD, oil and grease,
and pH.
Samples were placed in properly preserved and labeled containers, cooled to 40C, and
transported to Accura Analytical Laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia for analysis.
.
2.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS
-:
The di"tch was divided into five sections separated by roads and one composite sample was
collected from approximately each 100 fcCt within each section. Due to the variation of le~gth,
segment lengths varied from 85 ft to 30 ft. Figure 1 illustrates the sections and sampling points
along each section.

2.3 SEDIMENT AND WATER VOLUME CALCULATIONS
Sediment within the ditch ranged in thickness from less than one inch to approximately four
inches. Three sediment thickness and width measurements were removed from each sampling
grid. The average thickness and width was used to calculate the amount of sedim~nt present
within each sampling segment The volume of soil sediment in the ditch is estimated to be
approximately 35 cubic yards.
Very little water was found to be present in the ditch at the time of the soil sediment collection.
However, after a V2 to I inch rain event. which occurred immediately following sediment sample
collection, all of the ditch contained water. The water was measured to vary from 0.17 to 0,58
. .
feet deep along the ditch. The average width of the water in the ditch was between 6 and 7 feet
The total estimated volume of water in the ditch is slightly over 30.000 gallons. Soil and water
. volume calculations are presented in Appendix 1.

All 15 soil samples collected contained cadmium. lead, and mercury above the Type 1 risk
standards of 2 mglkg, 75 mglkg, and 0.5 mglkg, respectively. Four of the samples contained
chromium that was above the 100 mglkg Type 1 standard. Arsenic, barium. and silver were not
detected above the standards. One sample was found to contain selenium above'the standard of
2 mg/kg, No PCBs were detected in the sediment samples, however, a matrix interference
. resulted in detection limits above the Type 1 risk standard of 1.55 mglkg. The interference was
determined to be oil and coolant.
Lead, at a concentration of 0.12 mgll, was the only constituent found in the surface water sample
to be above the Type 1 risk standard of 0.015 mgIL. Table 1 summarizes the analytical results of
the laboratory analyses. Laboratory data is included in Appendix 2.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
Soil sediments within the ditch are contaminated above the Type 1 risk standards for the State of
Georgia. An estim::lted 35 cubic yards of sediment will need to be removed and properly
disposed.
The lead concentration in the ditch water was determined to be above the Type 1 risk standards.
Approximate~y 30,000 gallons of water is estimated that will have to be removed prior to
addressing/removing the underlying sediments.

publication of the HSI. At time of 1996 HSI preparation, the database had no provision
for tax parcel ID numbers, so the data were added at that time directly to the compiled
