Dear Ms Williams:
Enclosed for your review is the Site Reassessment (SRA) Report for the Redwood Road
Dump site (referred to as the "Site"). The Site was the primary landfill for Salt Lake City from 1923
until 1962. The Site is estimated to contain approximately 1,340,000 cubic yards of refuse and fill.
Interstate 215 was constructed through the center of the Site in 1988 creating an eastem and westem
refuse pile.
The northem portion of the westem landfill is used for the City's automobile impound lot. Salt
and gravel are stored on the southem portion of the westem landfill. A City vehicle washing and
refueling facility is under construction on City property northwest of the eastem landfill. Snow
cleared from downtown Salt Lake City in the winter is placed on the highest portion of the eastem
landfill by City streets personnel, potentially increasing the volume of contaminated landfill leachate.
A 1991 Site Investigation and a 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment have established the
following:
Elevated concentrations of lead (2,610 mg/kg), benzo (a) pyrene (5,000 /ig/kg) and dibenz (a, h)
anthracene (1,000 /xg/kg) were identified in subsurface soils. Elevated concentrations of arsenic.
(1,290 ng/L) antimony (34.2 /ig/L), selenium (14.8 /ig/L) and pentachlorophenol (3 /ig/L) have
been found in Site groundwater. The sampling of downgradient wells was not included in the
previous studies. Therefore, the extent of downgradient groundwater contamination is unknown.
City Drain Canal surface water lead concentrations rise from a non-detectable background
concentration to a high of 59.2 /ig/L downstream from the Site. This concentration significandy
exceeds the surface water Criteria Continuous Concentration of 2.5 /ig/L. Arsenic levels increase
from a background concentration of 61 /ig/L to 82.8 /ig/L after surface water passes the Site. A
wetland environment exists ten miles downstream of the Site at the Great Salt Lake.
Approximately 50 miles of wetland frontage occur within the 15 mile target distance Hmit.
Several duck hundng clubs are located within these wedand areas. Site.drainage enters the Great
Salt Lake at Farmington Bay Wildlife Refuge.

We recommend that an Expanded Site Invesdgation include; (1) the sampling of downgradient
shallow wells and wedands and, (2) the resampling of groundwater and surface water. Inorganic and
organic sampling data can then be evaluated with previously collected results to better understand
threats to wedands and wildlife and the potential for site listing on the Nadonal Priorides List.
After reviewing the SRA report, please inform us of any comments or changes that need to be
incorporated in the final version of the document. Please contact Neil Taylor at (801) 536-4102 if you

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Under authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensafion, and
Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorizadon Act (SARA), and in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Nadonal Confingency Plan, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of
Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) has prepared this Site Reassessment
Report (SRA) for the Redwood Road Dump, UTD980961502 (referred to as the "Site")
in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah. This SRA was prepared under a cooperadve
agreement between DERR and the U.S. Environmental Protecdon Agency, Region 8
(EPA). The purpose of the Site details described herein is to report informafion
conceming current Site conditions, assess the threat posed to human health and the
environment from hazardous materials or potendal releases of hazardous materials and to
support decisions regarding further invesdgadon under CERCLA or other appropriate
authority. Addidonally, contaminant pathways/targets and near future uses of the Site
were examined to identify if any possible changes to the property were imminent. The
Site Visit Report is included as Appendix A. The EPA Preliminary Assessment
Worksheet is provided as Appendix B.
2.0 SITE OBJECTIVES
The objecdves of the acdvides performed during the SRA were related to assessing if
hazardous substances located on-site pose a threat to human health or the environment.
The objectives of this SRA were to:
Determine the condnued presence of contamination in selected media;
Assess the potendal contaminadon characterisdcs;
Assess the potendal routes for contaminant migradon;
Assess the suspected exposure pathways;
Idendfy potendal targets that may be affected by on-site contaminadon as
well as other targets that may be impacted by the migradon of the
contamination via the suspected exposure pathways; and
• Determine if condnued assessment under CERCLA is warranted.
3.0 SITE LOCATION DESCRIPTION
3:1 SITE HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK
The Site extends west from 1900 West Street to 2200 West Street, and south from 500
South Street to Indiana Avenue (800 South) in Salt Lake City, Utah (Figure 1). The Site
is approximately 70 acres in size and is owned by Salt Lake City Corporation (DERR,
1995). The Site is located in the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 9,
Township 1 South, Range 1 West, Salt Lake Base Meridian (USGS, 1962). The Site is
bisected by Interstate 215 (1-215) and includes an eastem and westem refuse pile. The
Salt Lake City Road Maintenance and Automobile Impound Lot is located directly north
(across 500 South Street) of the westem portion of the Site.
The Site was the primary landfill for Salt Lake City from 1923 to 1962, when it was
closed to public dumping (DERR, 1995). The Site is estimated to contain approximately
1,340,000 cubic yards of refuse and fill (DERR, 1995). A manifest system was not in
place at the landfill during its operation and no records remain of waste content or
quantities dumped at the Site (UBSHW, 1987). In addition, no regulations were in place
to limit possible hazardous waste additions to the landfill. The Site was reported to take
in household, commercial and industrial wastes. The Site has experienced numerous sub-
surface fires, occasional bad odors, caving and differential settling due to decomposing
refuse (UBSHW, 1987).
The eastem portion of the Site was used from 1962 to 1995 by Salt Lake City
Corporation's Parks and Recreation Department and Public Services Department for the
disposal of leaves, grass clippings, tree trimmings and storm sewer sludge (DERR, 1995).
1-215 was constructed through the center of the Site in 1988 creating an eastem and .
westem refuse pile. It is believed that waste characteristics at the Site include municipal
wastes such as household, commercial, industrial and organic materials.
A report entitled "Preliminary Investigations Disposition of Garbage Materials in
Abandoned Landfill" (PI) was prepared for the Utah Department of Transportation
(UDOT), Salt Lake City, Utah, by Dr. David W. Eckhoff in July of 1977 (Eckoff, 1977).
The investigation found that mixed garbage and refuse had been dumped and burned on
the Site. Twenty auger holes were drilled into the landfill. Forty three measurements for
explosive gas were taken at five foot intervals within the drill holes. The borehole
explosive gas concentrations are provided in Appendix C, Table 1.
The refuse and cover material in the interstate right-of-way was moved to the east pile
during the construction of 1-215 in 1988 (DERR, 1995). A Preliminary Assessment (PA)
of the Site was prepared by the Utah Department of Health's Bureau of Solid and
Hazardous Waste in 1987. A 1991 Site Inspection (SI) sampling event included seven
groundwater samples, three surface water samples, ten soil samples and three sediment
samples (DERR, 1992). The monitoring well physical groundwater parameters are
provided in Appendix C, Table 2. The organic data results for groundwater and surface
water samples are provided in Appendix C, Table 3. The inorganic analyses for
groundwater and surface water samples are provided in Appendix C, Table 4. The
organic analyses for soil and sediment samples are provided in Appendix C, Table 5.
The inorganic analyses for soil and sediment samples are provided in Appendix C, Table
6. The original report sample location map is provided as Appendix C, Figure 5. Figure
5a places the approximate sample locations on a 2008 satellite photograph. Figure 5b
provides arsenic concentrations for soil and groundwater samples. The original report
Site groundwater map is provided as Figure 6.
EPA Region 8 gave the Site a higher priority for further investigation under CERCLA on
January 27, 1992 (USEPA, 1992). DERR conducted a Site Inspection Prioritization
(SIP) for the Site in September, 1995. The report concluded that the Site may present
hazards to those working and living near it, as well as to transients and bottle collectors
(DERR, 1995). Although the Site is vegetated and surface runoff is slow, the SIP
concluded that the accumulated refuse, soil, and shallow groundwater contain hazardous
substances and these present a threat to human health and the environment.
Chromium and lead contaminated soils were illegally placed on the central part of the
eastem landfill some time during December of 1991 by Tool Design Engineering and
Manufacturing facility personnel (DSHW, 2010). Chromium concentrations in samples
collected from the soil ranged from 1,240 mg/kg to 3,300 mg/kg. Lead concentrations
ranged from 1,000 mg/kg to 1,800 mg/kg. The contaminated soils were discovered in
1992.. Approximately 310 cubic yards of soil was removed from the landfill under the
supervision of the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste and Terracon Consultants in
November 1997. All eight cleanup verification samples were non-detect for chromium.
Seven of eight confirmation samples were non-detect for lead with the remaining sample
yielding 0.1 mg/kg lead (Terracon, 1997). The EPA residential screening level for lead is
generally 400 mg/kg.
DERR conducted a Targeted Brownsfields Assessment (TBA) for the westem portion of
the Site and the Salt Lake City Road Maintenance and Automobile Impound Lot in June,
2000. Selected figures from that assessment together with 2008 satellite photo overlays
are provided as Appendix D. Field work was conducted to assist Salt Lake City
Corporation in gathering additional information about the Site (DERR, 2001). Appendix
D, Figure 1 identifies the approximate location of trenches cut and sample locations.
Phase I consisted of using a backhoe to cut trenches into the subsuiface to evaluate the
extent and type of refuse present. Soil samples were collected from selected locations.
Phase II consisted of installing 15 direct push borings across the westem landfill. Soil,
soil gas, groundwater and surface water samples were collected and submitted for
laboratory analysis of volatile organics, semivolatile organics, metals and pesticides.
Field observations from the June 15, 2000 trenching and investigation activities suggest
the extent of refuse in the westem landfill is potentially limited to the landfill's eastem
bench.
The Portland Cement Superfund site is located directly south of the eastem landfill and
Indiana Avenue on approximately 71 acres. The risks posed by the Portland cement site
were derived from cement kiln dust and chromium bearing bricks which were landfilled
within the Site boundaries. The dust contained several heavy metals including: arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese and molybdenum. The contaminated soil, kiln
dust and chromium bricks were removed from the Portland cement site from 1992
through 1997. The Portland Cement site Record of Decision for Operable Unit Three
(groundwater) states that groundwater contamination is contained in the shallowest
aquifer within the Portland Cement site boundaries by a canal on the eastem boundary of
the Portland Cement site known as the "City Drain", a City sewer line on the east and
north of the site, and a storm water ditch west of 1-215. Analytical results of semiannual
groundwater monitoring beneath the Portland Cement site indicate that the contaminant
plume is limited to shallow groundwater within the Portland Cement site boundaries
(DERR, 2007).
3.2 CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS AND NEAR FUTURE USES
The northem portion of the westem landfill and the sliver of land directly north of the
westem landfill across 500 South Street are used for Salt Lake City's automobile
impound lot. Salt and gravel are stored on the southem portion of the westem landfill.
Both landfills are perimeter fenced (DERR, 2010a). The landfills are closed to the public
with no dumping allowed (Pope, 2010). The eastem landfill is elevated about 10 feet
above the natural ground surface and is covered with soil and natural vegetation. The
landfill is about 300 yards wide and 400 yards long. Various materials are stored on a
flat area northeast of the eastem landfill. Some of these materials include soil from the
City cemetery, wooden posts, large flowerpots for decorative downtown projects, and
large utility poles.
A City vehicle washing and refueling facility is under construction on City property
northwest of the eastem landfill. The City chips trees, limbs and leaves on a large
asphalted area southeast of the eastem landfill. This material is later hauled to the county
landfill for composting. Plans are being considered to extend this asphalted area further
north and convert the area into a temporary model airplane airport. Access to the landfill
outside the asphalted area will remain restricted (Pope, 2010).
Snow cleared from downtown Salt Lake City is placed on the highest portion of the
eastem landfill by City streets personnel. An area on the elevated eastem landfill has
been leveled and covered with clay and gravel for this purpose.
3.3 GEOLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY, HYDROLOGY AND METEOROLOGY
The Site is located within the Jordan River Valley of the Great Basin Section of the Basin
and Range Physiographic Province. The Jordan River Valley is bounded by the Wasatch
Mountains to the east, the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, the Traverse Mountain Range ,
to the south, and the Great Salt Lake to the north. Basin-fill deposits were eroded from
the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains and deposited in the Salt Lake Valley. The general
stratigraphy of the area is characterized by several hundred to several thousand feet of
unconsolidated and semi-consolidated basin fill deposits. Mountain streams and
historical lakes carried most of the sediment into the basin and ancient Lake Bonneville.
The fine-grained sediments were deposited in deeper portions of Lake Bonneville. The
coarser-grained sediments were deposited along the margins of ancient Lake Bonneville
near the mountains as its level eventually receded to its present level as the Great Salt
Lake (Waddell, et al, 1987).
Precipitation that falls as rain or snow in the mountain ranges flows down the range
fronts and recharges the deep aquifer within the Salt Lake Valley. The shallow water
table aquifer is geiierally recharged by downward infiltration from precipitation, canals,
irrigated lands and streams as well as by upward leakage from the underlying confined
aquifer (Waddell, et al, 1987). Surficial basin fill deposits within the Salt Lake Valley
generally consist of a series of Quaternary lacustrine, alluvial fan, sand dune, mud-rock
flow, ash falls, glacial and flood plain sediments. Groundwater occurs within these
valley fill deposits as a complex series of aquifers (Waddell, et al, 1987). The deeper
aquifer lies in Quaternary deposits of clay, silt, sand, and gravels that are hydraulically
interconnected with individual beds of sand and gravel ranging in thickness from less
than one foot to tens of feet. The maximum thickness of the principal aquifer is greater
than 1,000 feet in the northem portion of the valley. Most deep wells in the Salt Lake
Valley are completed in sediments at depths of less than 1,200 feet.
Municipal wells within four miles of the Site are completed at depths of 1,100 feet and
less (DERR, 1992). There are no wells currently in use on-site (DERR, 2010a). Drilling
logs from the four monitoring wells installed at the Site in 1991, in addition to the well
logs from the neighboring Portland Cement site (UTD980718670) reveal a lithology of
clay, silt and sand beneath the landfill (DERR, 1995). A soil survey of the Salt Lake area
identified the soils at the Site as dumps (Du), Salt Air Siity Clay Loam (Sa), Loamy
Borrow Pits (Lo), Sandy Terrace Escarpments (Sc), and Decker Fine Sandy Loam (De)
(DERR, 1992).
Groundwater flow in the shallow aquifer although complex, due to the interaction with
local surface water and underground utility pathways, is generally to the northwest.
Appendix C, Figure 6 provides known groundwater contours and the anticipated
groundwater flow direction. A 42 inch sanitary sewer is buried at an average depth of 17
feet below grade on the eastem border of the Site. The bedding material of the sewer line
appears to be removing groundwater from the shallow aquifer and routing it to the City
Drain. Groundwater flow under the eastem landfill also appears to be toward the City
Drain (DERR, 1992).
The Salt Lake Valley is located in the Great Basin drainage system, which is a closed
system with no outlets. The Jordan River and its tributaries form the main drainage for
the valley. The Jordan River is a Class 3C stream and discharges into the Great Salt
Lake. The Surplus Canal and the City Drain are located in close proximity to the Site.
The City Drain is located west of 1-215 and just east of the westem landfill. The surplus
Canal is a losing stream and likely receives no contribution from contaminated
groundwater (EPA, 1998). The "North Ditch" drains the City property northeast of the ;
eastem landfill. The ditch is piped to a storm drain that flows to the City Drain. The
City Drain is the primary groundwater discharge point. The City Drain joins the Sewer
Canal approximately six miles to the north of the site. The Sewer Canal eventually
discharges into the Great Salt Lake. The Surplus Canal is located approximately 1,000
feet to the west of the Site. The discharge points for the Jordan River, the Surplus Canal
and the Sewer Canal into the Great Salt Lake are characterized by freshwater marshes.
The discharge points are within the confines of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl
Management Area (DERR, 1992).
The Salt Lake Valley is characterized as being semiarid. The normal maximum
temperature ranges from 37.0° F. in January to 93.7° F in July. The normal minimum
temperature ranges from 19.7° F in January to 61.8° F in July. The average annual
rainfall is 15.31 inches per year with a normal monthly high of 2.21 inches in April and a
normal monthly low of 0.72 inches in July. The average annual snowfall is 58.0 inches.
The estimated pan evaporation is a 3.91 inches per year. The winds are predominantly
from the south and southeast and have a mean speed of four to five miles per hour
(Ashcroft, 1992).
3.4 SITE CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Water from precipitation and snow dumping flow through the unlined landfill waste. The
leachate contaminates shallow groundwater. The contaminated groundwater flows to the
City Drain Canal which bisects the site and is carried north by surface water flow into
wetlands and bird habitats. Contaminated groundwater also flows to the northwest in the
subsurface, potentially contaminating shallow, private water wells. The site conceptual
model is illustrated as a flow chart in Figure 3.
4.0 PATHWAY ANALYSIS
4.1 SITE WASTE SOURCES QUANTITY AND CHARACTERISTICS
Both west and east landfills contain municipal trash and unknown quantities of hazardous
materials. Both petroleum and chemical wastes were found in soil borings that were part
of a 1977 UDOT landfill waste investigation. The volume of the landfills is calculated at
approximately 1,338,000 cubic yards (Eckoff, 1977). The landfills are not properly
contained to minimize leaching of materials into the shallow groundwater.
4.2 GROUNDWATER MIGRATION PATHWAY
4.2.1 TARGETS
Seventeen municipal wells from three cities are located within the four mile target
distance range. All wells are located east or south of the Site and hydraulically
upgradient (DDW, 2010a; DDW, 2010b). All three city water systems are blended with
multiple groundwater and surface water sources. Table 1 identifies the population served
by the three public water systems having wells located within four miles of the Site.
Table 1
Population Receiving Groundwater from Wells Located
within Four Miles of the Site
System Name Population Served
Granger-Hunter Improvement District 106,000
Salt Lake City 387,506
South Salt Lake 18,000
Total Population Served 511,506
Approximately 4,102 underground points of diversion are located within four miles ofthe
Site. The uses for the large majority are for "domestic" or irrigation purposes and most
are upgradient of the Site (DWR, 2010). The closest downgradient well is approximately
400 yards northwest of the Site, north of 500 South and east of the Surplus Canal. The
well is 2 inches in diameter, 280 feet deep and was drilled in 1947. All downgradient
wells within 1.5 miles are from 200 to 400 feet deep, artesian wells, drawing from the
deeper, confined aquifer. It is likely that shallow groundwater flows into the City Drain
Canal that bisects the site.
4.2.2 SUMMARY OF PAST RESULTS
4.2.2.1 DERR 1991 Site Inspection
Four monitoring wells installed by EPA and two Portland Cement CERCLA Site
monitoring wells to the south of the Site were sampled (Appendix C, Figure 5). A
duplicate sample was also collected from RD-MW-02.
Appendix C, Tables 3 and 4 summarize the analytical results for the seven groundwater
samples. All samples were analyzed for volatiles, base-neutral/acid extractables,
pesticides, PCBs and metals. There were no pesticide or volatile compounds detected in
the groundwater samples. There were no organic chemical concentrations found above
Superfund Chemical Data Matrix (SCDM) benchmarks (SCDM, 2004). Appendix C,
Table 4 lists the inorganic analyses. A summary of the metals detected near or above
SCDM benchmarks is provided in the table below. Arsenic was detected at 314 /ig/L,
248 /ig/L and 179 /ig/L in three of the four downgradient wells compared to 19 /ig/L in
the background well.. Sample RD-MW-05 contained 34.2 /ig/L antimony. Selenium was
detected in RD-MW-01 at 14.8 /ig/L.

4.2.2.2 DERR 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment
Approximately 15 direct push borings were installed across the Site during the 2000
TBA. Soil, soil gas, groundwater and surface water samples were collected and
submitted for volatile organic, semivolatile organic, pesticides, PCBs and dissolved
metals analysis.
Sampling results from the June 2000 TBA revealed pentachlorophenol in sample RRD-
11 at an estimated concentration of 3 /ig/L. The MCL for this compound is 1 /ig/L. No .
other organics were detected in the groundwater above SCDM benchmarks (DERR,
2001).
Arsenic was detected in many groundwater samples above the MCL of 10 /ig/L. Arsenic
was found in sample RRD-1 at 1,290 /ig/L and in RRD- 2 at 1,000 /ig/L. Both sample
locations are north of the Site (Appendix D, Figure 5). Dissolved arsenic was reported in
RRD-7 at an estimated concentration of 1,170 /tg/L. Other groundwater samples ranged
from 2.4 /ig/L to 236 /xg/L. No other dissolved metals were detected in the groundwater
above SCDM benchmarks. The sampling locations and groundwater arsenic
concentrations from the June 2000 sampling event are included as Appendix D, Figure 5.
4.2.3 DATA GAPS
No shallow groundwater samples have been collected farther downgradient (northwest)
ofthe Site than the City impound lot north of 500 South. The closest downgradient well,
located approximately 400 yards northwest of the Site, has not been sampled. No
groundwater sampling has been conducted since June 2000. The present extent of
downgradient arsenic groundwater contamination is therefore unknown.
4.3 SOIL EXPOSURE PATHWAY.
4.3.1 TARGETS
The Redwood Road Dump is enclosed by chain link and barbed wire fences. This barrier
prevents unauthorized vehicle access (DERR, 2010a). There is no on-site population or
residences. There are no schools or day cares located within 200 feet of the site.
4.3.2 SUMMARY OF PAST RESULTS
4.3.2.1 UDOT 1977 Prehminary Inspection
One rotary hole and 19 auger holes were drilled into the landfill from April to May 1977.
Forty three refuse (soil) samples were analyzed for total solids, volatile solids, BOD, and
moisture content. Explosive gas concentrations were measured for a few holes in April
1977 and measured twice in May 1977 for all holes at various depths. Borehole
explosive gas concentrations ranged from zero to 27 percent by volume (Eckoff, 1977).
Explosive gas concentrations are provided as Appendix C, Table 1.
Several locations repeatedly yielded methane concentrations above the lower explosive
limit (LEL). Two of the sampling locations showed methane concentrations above 10
percent by volume. In 12 of the 20 borings, petroleum products were found at or near the
water table. One of the drill holes, G-3C, cited the presence of a "chemical waste" at a
depth of 8-10 feet. Thickness of the refuse in the landfill was determined to vary
between one foot and 29 feet, with the refuse-natural ground interface undulating
between elevations of 4216-4224 feet above sea level.
4.3.2.2 DERR 1991 Site Inspection
Ten soil samples were collected numbering RD-SO-01 through RD-SO-10. Sample
locations are shown in Appendix C, Figure 5 and 5a. Eight of the ten were surface
samples. Sample RD-SO-02 is the background sample. Samples RD-SO-06 and RD-SO-
07 can be considered source samples of "oily waste" taken near the water table from
monitoring wells MW- 2 and MW-4. It does not appear that these two samples were
submitted for inorganic analysis. Sample results can be found in Appendix C, Tables 5-
6.
Appendix C, Tables 5 and 6 sunmfiarize the analytical data results for soil and sediment
samples. Site soils contain above background concentrations of 21 BNA compounds,
five VOA compounds, 12 pesticide compounds, and one PCB compound. None are
above SCDM benchmarks. The PCB compound, aroclor-1260, was detected in RD-SO-
09 at 150 ppb. Table 6 indicates a release of at least 10 metals to the soil has occurred at
the Site. Concentrations of barium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury,
nickel, sodium, and zinc were detected over three times that of the background sample.
None were above SCDM benchmarks. However, lead has no established SCDM
benchmark. Lead was detected in sample SO-10 at 2,610 mg/kg in the northem comer of
the westem landfill. This sample was taken directly above the refuse inside a hole
previously used to excavate old bottles about three feet below ground surface.
4.3.2.3 DERR 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment
Soil samples were collected during installation of the direct push groundwater samples
and from selected trench locations across the Site. Soil samples were collected directly at
the soil/water interface. Most soil samples were collected between seven to nine feet
below ground surface. Soil sample locations are provided as Appendix D, Figure 1 and
provide 2008 satellite imagery for the sample locations.
Lead was reported in sample T-3 at 1,760 mg/kg. Lead was reported in sample SB-2 at an
estimated concentration of 1,930 mg/kg. Poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds
were detected from the base of a trench cut (SB-2) along the central portion of the east
bench. Soil samples collected from the base of the 10 foot trench cut revealed benzo (a)
pyrene at 5,000 ug/kg and dibenz (a,h) anthracene at 1,000 ug/kg. The SCDM CRSC for
both compounds is 880 ug/kg. Selected figures from the study are provided in Appendix
D. Figure 4 is the original report sample map identifying the benzo (a) pyrene
concentrations found in soil samples from the westem landfill. Figure 4a is the historic
report sample map detailing the lead concentrations at the westem landfill.
No VOCs, SVOCs or PCBs/Pesticides were detected in any other samples above SCDM
benchmarks or the EPA Region 3 commercial/industrial soil screening criteria. Arsenic
was reported in all soil samples collected from the westem landfill. The highest reported
concentration was 43.9 mg/kg with the remaining concentrations ranging from 6.0 mg/kg
to 25 mg/kg.
4.3.3 DATA GAPS
Only limited subsurface soil hazardous constituent analysis has'been conducted for the
eastem landfill. .
4.4 SURFACE WATER PATHWAY
4.4.1 TARGETS
There are no surface drinking water sources within the 15 mile target distance limit.
Surface waters are not used for fishing within 15 downstream miles. A wetland
environment exists at the Great Salt Lake which is approximately 10 miles downstream
of the Site (Appendix B, Figures on pages 10 and 11). Approximately 50 miles of
wedand frontage occur within the 15 mile target distance limit (USDI, 1990). Several
duck hundng clubs are located within these wetland areas (DWLR, 2010). The Site is
located in a 100 year flood zone (FEMA, 2010).
4.4.2 SUMMARY OF PAST RESULTS
4.4.2.1 DERR 1991 Site Inspection
Three surface water samples were collected at the Site, as well as three sediment samples
(see Appendix C, Figure 5 and 5a). A quality control trip blank water sample was also
taken. Upgradient and downgradient water samples were collected from the City Drain
and a water sample was taken from the unnamed north ditch. The up-gradient City Drain
sample served as the background sample. Sediment samples were taken in the same
general location as the surface water samples.
Surface water sample results tables from this investigation are provided in Appendix C
(Tables 3-6). The SCDM surface water environmental pathway benchmark for acute
exposure is the Criteria Maximum Concentration (CMC) and the benchmark for chronic
exposure is the Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC). The environmental toxicity of
metals in surface water depends upon water hardness. As the water hardness of the City
Drain has not been determined, the default CMC and CCC values for a water hardness of
100 mg/L is provided. Lead was detected in the north ditch sample at 23.6 /ig/L. The
CMC for lead is 65 /tg/L and the CCC for lead is 2.5 /ig/L. Antimony was detected at 25
/ig/L from RD-SW-02. No CMC or CCC for antimony has been established. Arsenic
was also detected in the upgradient City Drain sample at 53.4 /ig/L and in the
downgradient sample at 59.2 /tg/L (CMC = 340 /ig/L, CCC = 150 /ig/L). .
Appendix C, Table 5 identifies the 11 BNA, six pesticide and two VOA compounds that
were detected in the sediment samples. The majority of these contaminants were
detected in the north ditch, indicating they most probably originated from the landfill.
10
The north ditch sediment sample contained three metal concentrations that were more
than three times the concentration in the upgradient City Drain sediment sample. These
metals include lead (68.2 mg/kg), magnesium (33,000 mg/kg) and zinc (222 mg/kg).
4.4.2.2 DERR 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment
Surface water samples RRD-SW-1, RRD-SW-2 and RRD-SW-3 were collected from the
City Drain which borders the westem landfill on the east. RRD-SW-4 was collected
from the northem portion of a possible wedand area identified on the central portion of
the eastem landfill. RRD-SW-5 was a duplicate of RRD-SW-4.
Appendix D, Tables 3, 6, 9 and 12 summarize the surface water analytical results.
Arsenic was reported in the southemmost (background) surface water sample (RRD-SW-
1) at 61 /ig/L, in RRD-SW-2 at 79.7 /ig/L and in RRD-SW-3 at 82.8 /ig/L. All measured
surface water arsenic concentrations were below the CMC (340 /tg/L) and the CCC (150
/ig/L). Lead increased from the background non-detect concentration to 56.1 /ig/L at
RRD-SW-2 and 50.3 /ig/L at RRD-SW-3 (CMC = 65 /ig/L, CCC = 2.5 /ig/L). No other
metals were reported above SCDM benchmarks.
4.4.3 DATA GAPS
Determining the appropriate metal toxicity benchmark requires knowing the average
hardness of City Drain surface water. This value has not yet been determined.
4.5 AIR MIGRATION PATHWAY
4.5.1 TARGETS
There is no on-site population or residences at the Redwood Road Dump. There are no
schools or day cares located within 200 feet of the site. There is a population of 130,095
within the four-mile Target Distance Limit (DERR, 2010b). Table 3 lists the target
population within various distances. Both westem and eastem landfills are fenced. Two
means of access are available to the eastem landfill; one is from the north through a gate
which is locked at night, and one from the south through a road barrier. Approximately
50 miles of wedand frontage occur within the 15 mile target distance limit (USDI, 1990).

4.5.2 SUMMARY OF PAST RESULTS
4.5.2.1 UDOT 1977 Preliminary Inspection
One rotary hole and 19 auger holes were drilled into the landfill from April to May 1977.
Explosive gas concentrations were measured for a few holes in April 1977 and measured
twice in May 1977 for all holes at various depths. Several locations repeatedly yielded
methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL).
4.5.2.2 DERR 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment
Soil gas samples were collected from two locations along the eastem bench of the
westem landfill in accordance with the protocol established in the TBA Workplan and
analyzed for methane. Methane was reported in SG-1 at 23,000 ppmV (46 percent of the
lower explosive limit). Methane was not reported in SG-2 above the level of detection.
4.5.3 DATA GAPS
None identified.
5.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The Site was the primary landfill for Salt Lake City from 1923 until 1962 and is .
estimated to contain approximately 1,340,000 cubic yards of refuse and fill. The Site was
reported to take in household, commercial and industrial wastes. 1-215 was constmcted
through the center of the Site in 1988 creating an eastem and westem refuse pile. The
refuse and cover material in the interstate right-of-way was moved to the east pile during
the construction. Thickness of the refuse in the landfill varies between one foot and 29
feet, with the refuse-natural ground interface undulafing between elevations of 4216-4224
feet.
Chromium and lead contaminated soils were illegally placed on the central part of the
eastem landfill some time during December of 1991. The contaminated soils were
removed from the landfill in November 1997.
The northem portion of the westem landfill is used for Salt Lake City's automobile
impound lot. Salt and gravel are stored on the southem portion of the westem landfill.
The eastem landfill is elevated about 10 feet above the natural ground surface and is
covered with soil and natural vegetafion. The eastem landfill is about 300 yards wide and
400 yards long. Various materials are being stored on a flat area northeast of the eastem
landfill.
A City vehicle washing and refueling facility is under constmction on City property
northwest of the eastem landfill. Plans are being considered to extend this asphalted area
further north and convert the area into a temporary model airplane airport. Snow cleared
12
from downtown Salt Lake City in the winter is placed on the highest portion of the
eastem landfill by City streets personnel.
The Portland Cement Superfund site is located directly south of the eastem landfill and
south of Indiana Avenue. Semiannual monitoring of the contaminated groundwater
beneath the Portland Cement site indicates that the shallow aquifer contaminant plume
confinues to be contained within the Portland Cement site boundaries.
The 1991 SI and 2000 Targeted Brownfields Assessment have established the following:
• Soil - Concentrations of barium, calcium, chromilim, copper, iron, mercury,
nickel, sodium, and zinc were detected in surface soils over 3 times that ofthe
background sample. In particular, lead was detected in the subsurface soils as
high as 2,610 mg/kg.
Concentrations of benzo (a) pyrene (5,000 /ig/kg) and dibenz (a, h) anthracene
(1,000 /xg/kg) were identified in subsurface soils above SCDM benchmarks. The
SCDM CRSC for both compounds is 880 /xg/kg. There is no on-site population
or residences at the Redwood Road Dump. There are no schools or day cares
located within 200 feet of the site.
• Groundwater - The presence of arsenic (1,290 Mg/L) antimony (34.2 /xg/L),
selenium (14.8 /xg/L), pentachlorophenol (3 Mg/L) have been found in Site
groundwater above SCDM benchmarks. Arsenic contamination above the 10
ng/L groundwater MCL is widespread. However, the closest downgradient
well, located approximately 400 yards northwest of the Site, has not been
sampled. The extent of downgradient groundwater contamination to the
northwest is, therefore, unknown. Seventeen municipal wells from three cities are
located within the four mile target distance limit. All are located east or south of
the Site and hydraulically upgradient. All downgradient wells are privately
owned.
Surface water - The City Drain Canal bisects the site. Water from the canal
eventually enters the Great Salt Lake at Farmington Bay Wildlife Refuge
approximately 10 miles downstream of the site. Approximately 50 miles of
wetland frontage occur within the 15 mile target distance limit (USDI, 1990).
Several duck hunting clubs are located within these wetland areas. There are no
surface drinking water sources within the 15 mile target distance limit of the Site.
Surface waters are not used for fishing within 15 downstream miles.
City Drain Canal surface water lead concentrations rise from a non-detectable
background concentration to a high of 59.2 /xg/L downstream of the Site. This
concentration significantly exceeds the surface water CCC of 2.5 /xg/L. However,
although elevated levels of lead have been detected in subsurface site soils,
elevated levels of lead have not been detected in Site groundwater. Arsenic levels
13
increase from a background concentration of 61 /xg/L to 82.8 /ig/L downstream of
the Site.

SITE VISIT REPORT
SITE VISIT REPORT
For the Redwood Road Dump
CERCLIS ID UTD980961502
On March 9 and 22, 2010 Neil Taylor with the Utah Department of Environmental
Quality, Division of Environmental Response and Remediation conducted a site visit of
properties associated with the investigation of the Redwood Road Dump (Site). This
report describes the Site visits. Supporting photographs can be found at the end of the
visit description. On March 22, Neil Taylor was accompanied by Val Pope, Parks ^
Division Manager with the Salt Lake City Department of Public Services.
The Site is located between 500 South on the North and Indiana Avenue on the South and
from 1900 West on the East to 2200 West on the West. The Redwood Road Dump
consists of westem and eastem covered landfills. Historically the landfills were one unit
but are now bisected by 1-215. Both landfills are covered with soil and vegetated with
native grasses.
We first entered the eastem landfill using an access road located directly behind the Parks
Division building which is located at 1963 West 500 South. Various materials are being
stored on the flat area northeast of the elevated and covered eastem landfill. Some of
these materials include soil from the city cemetery, wooden posts, large flowerpots for
decorative use downtown, and large utility poles.
A city vehicle washing and refueling facility is under construction just northwest of the
eastem landfill. Trees limbs and leaves are chipped up on a large asphalted area
southeast of the eastem landfill. This material is later hauled to the county landfill for
composting. Snow cleared from downtown in the winter is dumped on the highest
portion of the eastem landfill. An area on the elevated eastem landfill has been leveled
and covered with clay and gravel for this purpose.
An open ditch runs north northeast from the Southeastem property drainage to behind the
Parks Division building. The drainage is then piped from the Southwest quarter of the
Parks building to a storm drain on 500 South. The "North Drain" described in previous
site investigation reports, no longer appears to exist.
The narrow, elevated, westem portion of the landfill is located just west of 1-215 and the
City Drain canal and east of a variety of city and private properties mnning down Delong
Street (2105 West). A row of commercial businesses are located on the northem portion
of Delong Street. The city impound lot is located east of these properties. The northem
half of the westem landfill is located east of the city impound lot.
The Salt Lake City Streets Division owns the southem half of Delong Street. This
includes the southem half of the westem landfill. The elevated southem half of the
landfill is being used for storage of a variety of gravel used in street repair and tree limbs.

BACKGROUND/OPERATING HISTORY
6. DESCRIBE OPERATING HISTORY OF SITE: The Site was the primary landfill for Salt Lake
City from 1923 until 1962. The Site is estimated to contain approximately 1,340,000
cubic yards of refuse and fill. The Site was reported to take in household,
commercial and industrial wastes. 1-215 was constructed through the center of the
Site in 1988 creating an eastern and western refuse pile. The refuse and cover
material in the Interstate right-of-way was moved to the east pile during the
construction. Thickness of the refuse in the landfill varies between one foot and 29
feet, with the refuse-natural ground interface undulating between elevations of 4216-
4224 feet.
Source of information: BSHW, 1987; DERR, 1995; Eckoff, 1977
7. DESCRIBE THE NATURE OF SITE OPERATIONS (property size, manufacturing, waste disposal,
storage, etc.): The northern portion of the western landfill is used for the-City's
automobile impound lot. Salt and gravel are stored on the southern portion of the
western landfill. The eastern landfill is elevated about 10 feet above the natural
ground surface and is covered with soil and natural vegetation. The landfill is about
300 yards wide and 400 yards long. Various materials are being stored on a flat area
northeast of the eastern landfill.

8. DESCRIBE ANY EMERGENCY OR REMEDIAL ACTIONS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AT THE SITE: Chromium
and lead contaminated soils were illegally placed on the central part of the eastern
landfill some time during December of 1991. The contaminated soils were removed from
the landfill in November 1997. Several drums were removed on August 10, 1993 that
contained investigation derived wastes from monitoring well installation by EPA
contractors during sampling activities in the spring of 1991.
Source of information: Terracon, 1997; DERR, 1995
ARE THERE RECORDS OR KNOWLEDGE OF ACCIDENTS OR SPILLS INVOLVING SITE WASTES?
• YES NO
Describe:
Source of information:
DISCUSS EXISTING SAMPLING DATA AND BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE DATA QUALITY (e.g., sample
objective, age/comparability, analytical methods, detections limits and QA/QC):
Samples collected during the 1991 SI and 2001 TBA were collected according to the EPA
protocols and analyzed at EPA contract laboratories. Data collected from the site was
validated by EPA or EPA contractors.
Source of information: DERR, 1992; DERR 2001
WASTE CONTAINMENT/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE IDENTIFICATION
11. FOR EACH SOURCE AT THE SITE, SUMMARIZE ON TABLE 1 (attached): 1) Methods of ha,zardous
substance disposal, storage or handling; 2) size/volume/area of all features/
structures that might contain hazardous waste; 3) condition/integrity of each storage
disposal feature or structure; 4) types of hazardous substances handled.
12.BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW WASTE QUANTITY WAS ESTIMATED (e.g., historical records or
manifests, permit applications, air photo measurements, etc.): A report entitled
"Preliminary Investigations Disposition of Garbage Materials in Abandoned Landfill"
(PI) was prepared for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Salt Lake City,
Utah, by Dr. David W. Eckhoff in July of 1977. The investigation found that mixed
garbage and refuse had been dumped and burned on the site. Twenty auger holes were
drilled into the landfill from which the volume and type of waste was calculated.
Source of information: Eckhoff, 1977

GROUNDWATER CHARACTERISTICS
14. IS THERE ANY POSITIVE OR CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OF A RELEASE TO GROtJNDWATER?
^ YES • NO
Describe: In 1991, arsenic was detected at 314 ug/'L, 248 /xg/L and 179 ixg/'h in three of
four downgradient wells compared to 19 /xg/L in a background well. Antimony was
detected at 34.2 /xg/L in one well and above background concentrations. In 2000,
arsenic was detected in many groundwater samples above the MCL of 10 /xg/L. Arsenic
was found at 1,2 90 /xg/L and at 1,000 /xg/L in two sample wells located noriih of the
Site. Dissolved arsenic was reported in on the western edge of the western landfill
at an estimated concentration of 1,170 /xg/L. Other groundwater samples ranged from
2.4 /xg/L to 236 /xg/L

18. DISCUSS THE PROBABLE SURFACE RUNOFF PATTERNS FROM THE SITE TO StIRFACE WATERS: The
Surplus Canal and the City Drain are located in close proximity to the site. The
"North Ditch" drains the City property northeast of the eastern landfill. The ditch
is piped to a storm drain that flows to the City Drain. The City Drain is located
west of 1-215 and just east of the western landfill. The City Drain is the primary
groundwater discharge point. The City Drain joins the Sewer Canal approximately six
miles to the north. The Sewer Canal eventually discharges into the Great Salt Lake
approximately 10 miles downstream of the Site. The Surplus Canal is located
approximately 1,000 feet to the west of the Site. The discharge points for the
Jordan River, the Surplus Canal and the Sewer Canal into the Great Salt Lake are
characterized by freshwater marshes. The discharge points are within the confines of
the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area
19. PROVIDE A SIMPLIFIED SKETCH OF SURFACE RtJNOFF AND StJRFACE WATER FLOW SYSTEM FOR 15
DOWNSTREAM MILES (see item #35).

Describe: Arsenic was reported in the background City Drain water sample at 61 /xg/L
and at 82.8 /xg/L downstream of the Site. Lead rose from the background non-detect
concentration to 56.1 /xg/L downstream of the Site.

TARGETS
27. DISCUSS GROUNDWATER USAGE WITHIN FOUR MILES OF THE SITE: Seventeen municipal wells
from three cities are located within the 4-mile target distance range. All are
located east or south of the Site and hydraulically up-gradient. Approximately 4,102
underground points of diversion are located within four miles of the Site. The uses
for the large majority are for "domestic" or irrigation purposes and most are
upgradient of the Site. The closest downgradient well is approximately 400 yards
northwest of the site, north of 500 South and east of the surplus canal. The well is
2 inches in diameter, 280 feet deep and was drilled in 1947.
