The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has now completed a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (Phase II ESA) at the Joliet Correctional Center -West Side located at 1125 N. Collins Street in Joliet, Illinois. The results and conclusions of this Phase I ESA are based on analytical laboratory results of soil and groundwater samples collected on March 16 — 18, 2015 as well as previous review of user-provided information, available records pertaining to the property and the surrounding area, interviews with local government officials, key site ‘mangers, former employees and others. The Phase II ESA was performed using a Section 128(2) federal Brownfields grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 5, grant number RP-96507908, to assist the Forest Preserve District and the City of Joliet in their assessment of abandoned or underutilized brownfield properties within the community, Construction of the original Joliet Correctional Center (the prison facility now refecred to in this ESA as Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side) was initiated in 1858. Construction of the initial prison was completed in 1869. The prison closed in 2002. Various activities were conducted on site, including laundry, machine shop work, furniture manufacture, wire fence manufscture, and building projects used to keep the inmates occupied. The Joliet Correctional Center is located on the western portion of Section 3 Township 35 North and Range 10 East of the Third Principle Meridian. In June 2006, the City of Joliet requested Illinois EPA’s assistance in conducting environmental investigations of the Joliet Correctional Center. Subsequently the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (Illinois EPA) Office of Site Evaluation (OSE) initiated work on a Redevelopment Assessinent at the property. Part I of the Redevelopment Assessment began October 2006 and consisted of investigating the southwest and northeast comers of the Correctional Center property east of Collins Street. Part II of the Redevelopment Assessment began in April 2007 and consisted of investigating the middle portion of the eastern parcel of the Correctional Center property as well as the Joliet Correctional Center Prison (currently termed Joliet Correctional Center —West Side), west of Collins Street. In January 2014 a Phase I ESA at the Joliet Correctional Center — East Side was conducted by Carlson Environmental. In June 2014 through Resolution No. 14-16 the Forest Preserve District of Will County requested the assistance and participation of the linois EPA to further investigate the Joliet Correctional Center property. In September 2014 the Illinois EPA’s OSE conducted a Phase II ESA at the Joliet Correctional Center — East Side, The Phase I ESA completed by the Illinois EPA’s OSE in January 2015 at Joliet Correctional Center -West Side identified potential areas of concern that may pose an undue risk to human health and the environment. The Assessment provided the Forest Preserve District of Will County and the City of Joliet with the environmental data necessary to make decisions about future redevelopment on the Joliet Correctional Center property. Future development of the property is planned to be a mix of industrial/commereial and residential property.The Phase II ESA at Joliet Correctional Center -West Side included advancement of fifteen Geoprobe borings within the prison walls and three borings outside of the west wall of the prison. Twenty-nine (29) soil samples were collected from the borings for laboratory analysis. Three groundwater samples were collected from two screen point locations outside the west wall for laboratory analysis. Analytical results identified Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) that may warrant additional investigation or remediation, or the establishment of institutional property controls at three (3) locations. ‘There are three soil sample locations with several semi-volatile compounds exceeding residential ingestion standards and one semi-volatile compound in one of the samples that also exceeds industrial/commercial ingestion standards for benzo(a)pyrene. Several soil samples exceed the industrial/commercial inhalation standard for a construction worker for mercury and one for lead. Analysis of a groundwater sample collected west of the southwest comer of the prison wall indicates iron, manganese, and mercury exceed the Soil Component of the Groundwater Ingestion Exposure Route. It is recommended that the subject property be enrolled in the Illinois EPA’s Voluntary Sire Remediation Program (SRP) so that site specific corrective action objectives may be determined. Once these objectives are established, compounds present on the property greater than corrective action objectives may be remediated or managed in accordance with the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 742 to levels protective of human health and the environment.1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) has received federal funds from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 5, to conduct assessments on properties that aid in the property’s redevelopment, on behalf of municipalities. On October 1, 2014, Illinois EPA’s Office of Site Evaluation initiated work on a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase ESA) at Joliet Correctional Center - West Side in Joliet, Illinois. This report presents the findings of the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment conducted in March 2015, which was initiated based on findings of the Phase I. ‘The Phase II ESA was conducted and prepared to meet the following objectives: a) review readily available historical information related to the subject property to identify potential Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) that exist on the subject property and data gaps existing in previous environmental assessments; b) characterize the subsurface geology at the subject property; c) provide site specific chemical analysis of soil and groundwater to further identify releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, petroleum and petroleum products, and controlled substances on, at, in, or to the subject property within the meaning of CERCLA; 4) provide information relevant to identifying, defining, and evaluating property conditions associated with target analytes that exceed 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 742 Remediation Objectives (ROs), therefore posing risk to human health or the environment, or risk of bodily injury to persons on the property; and, e) provide information relevant in assessing the redevelopment potential of the subject property.Ilinois EPA's OSE conducted the Phase II ESA investigation March 16 ~ 18, 2015. ‘Twenty-nine (29) soil samples were collected from eighteen borings using the Illinois EPA’s Geoprobe 6600 direct push rig. All soils brought to the surface by the Geoprobe were inspected and characterized utilizing field-based technology of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and soil vapor analysis by photo ionization detector (PID) prior to sample collection. After samples were collected in appropriate containers they were packaged and placed in sample coolers with blue ice for shipment to the Hlinois EPA’s analytical laboratory. In addition to collection of soil samples, three (3) groundwater samples were collected adjacent to two boring locations. The groundwater samples were also shipped to the Illinois EPA’s analytical laboratory. A description of field investigative activities is provided in subsequent sections of this report. 1.2 General Conditions and Limitations ‘The Illinois EPA used experienced and trained professionals to conduct and prepare the Phase II ESA. Al findings in this report are based on user provided information, governmental records, visual observations from site reconnaissance, analytical results from samples collected on-site, interviews with the site manager, local government officials, and adjacent property owners. Laboratory analytical samples results were compared to Illinois BPA risk based ROs identified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Part 742, “Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives” (TACO), to determine potential risk to human health and the environment posed by the subject property. The redevelopment potential of the property is discussed in Scetion 5 of this report. This report is not intended to completely define the lateral or vertical extent of contamination of the entire property. This Phase II ESA is intended toprovide the Forest Preserve District of Will County, the City of Joliet, the Illinois Department of Correction, State of Illinois Central Management Services, and the Collins Street Task Force, environmental data necessary to make decisions about future development of the property. This report should not be viewed as conclusive evidence that additional contamination does not exist at the subject property.2.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 Site Location ‘The Joliet Correctional Center is located at 1125 N. Collins Street in Joliet, Joliet Township, Will County, Illinois (Figure 1). The site is located on the western portion of Section 3 Township 35 North and Range 10 East of the Third Principle Meridian. The specific location of the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side property is 41.546911 North Latitude, 8.074231 West Longitude, comprising an area of approximately 25 acres, The property is in the 4" Congressional District. Local land use surrounding the property west of Collins Street includes residential and commercial properties surrounding the site on the north, east and south sides. In addition, there is a local park (A.F. Hill Park) northeast of the Correctional Center. To the north of the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side are residential and commercial properties. To the south of the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side is U.S. Steel property. The area to the west of the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side is comprised of a set of railroad tracks followed by the Des Plaines River. East of the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side are commercial properties and open areas, abandoned quarries and two former firing ranges belonging to the Joliet Correctional Center. Please refer to Figure 2.2.2 Site and Vicinity Description Joliet Correctional Center-West Side is composed of approximately 20 buildings. The site is completely surrounded by 20 - 24 foot tall limestone block walls topped with rolled razor-wire in most locations. Chain-link fence topped with rolled razor-wire is also present at many locations outside the limestone walls. A storage building is located outside the enclosed area, to the west side of the correctional center. Along with the storage building, this area was used for refueling and storage. This area is bounded by railroad tracks to the west, Just south of the storage areas are two depressions which channel surface water to a storm water sewer system. The prison property is flat with no discernable slope. The interior of the prison is composed of various buildings and open srass covered areas. Chain-link fence topped with razor-wire separate much of these interior open areas, Figures 2 and 3 depict the interior of the prison (inside the yellow outline in Figure 2). The surrounding property use is a mixture of commercial, industrial, and residential Soil borings completed during this Phase II ESA as well as previous investigations at the Prison property consist of fill material comprised of loam, black cinders, limestone cobbles and gravel, and black silty clay material. Generally this material was found to range from ground surface to approximately four feet below ground surface (bgs). Silt, clay and weathered limestone were generally found between two feet and twelve feet bgs., with the underlying limestone bedrock encountered ranging from two feet to twelve feet bgs. Surface water drainage from the prison is through multiple storm water collection grates located on the ground, in grass covered areas and also in paved areas, which areconnected to an underground drainage system that discharges to the Des Plaines River approximately 0.5 miles west of the prison property. This discharge is regulated by Illinois EPA with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Refer to Figure 4 for the topography of the site, The nearest groundwater wells to the property were formerly found onsite and provided water to the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side. The City of Joliet draws its ‘groundwater fiom fifteen deep (bedrock) wells (pumping water from 1,000 feet below the surface) and five shallow (gravel) wells (pumping from 80 feet below ground surface) located throughout the city. The Joliet public water supply primarily serves residents within the corporate limits of the city; some provisions are in effect for shared resources with other municipalities. There are no known surface water intakes within 15 miles of the site along the Des Plaines River. Sensitive Environments near the prison property include a limited number of wetlands. The nearest is 100 feet northeast, indicated by the United States Department of the Interior, National Wetlands Inventory as palustrine unconsolidated bottom intermittently exposed (PUBG). This feature is one of two limestone quarries where all limestone was quarried for use in building the prison. There are no other known sensitive environments located near the prison property. The Flood Insurance Rate Map for Joliet — Panel 162 of 585, number 170702 indicates that the prison is not within a 100 year or 500 year flood zone. The nearest school to the prison property is approximately 1215 feet southeast. The nearest day care facility is approximately 5,680 feet southwest of the prison property. The nearest residences to the site are within 100 feet north of the prison site. 1023 Current Property Use The Joliet Correctional Center — West Side is currently not in use. The property formerly was under ownership of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Transfer of ownership to Illinois Central Management Services is proposed. Also, the City of Joliet - Joliet Area Historical Museum is secking to establish guided tours of the penitentiary for Route 66 travelers. Illinois Department of Corrections personnel conduct daily inspections throughout the entire prison property including inside cach building and make note of necessary maintenance issues. 2.4 Property History and Past Uses The Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side is located at 1125 N. Collins Street in Joliet, Illinois. The site is located over a layer of limestone bedrock which is encountered at two to twelve feet below ground surface. One building with a stockade around it was constructed by civilian workers in 1858 from limestone quarried at the site. The first thirty-three prisoners arrived on May 22, 1858, so they could be used to construct the walls and buildings. Construction of the initial prison was completed in 1869. A women's prison was added east of the prison across Collins Street in 1896, but closed in 1932 when the new women’s prison in Dwight was opened. The number of inmates at the ‘men’s prison peaked at 1,300 in 1990 and wes still 1,156 in 2000, although capacity had been raised to 1,300 over 1999-2000, from 1,180 previously, To make use of prisoner labor, the inmates were loaned to the various manufacturing businesses located within the prison to assist in construction of fumiture, boots, shoes, leather goods, mattresses, sheets, and pillow cases, among other items. A dry cleaning facility was also on site ulwhere prisoners cleaned officers uniforms for those staffing Joliet Correctional Center and Stateville Correctional Center. In 2000, there was 541 staff members at Joliet Correctional Center. From the 1990s the prison worked more as a reception and classification center for northern Illinois, holding prisoners for less than a month and processing over 20,000 a year. The Joliet Correctional Center closed as a holding prison in February 2002. Budget cuts and the obsolete and dangerous nature of the buildings were the cited reasons, All inmates end most staff were transferred to new buildings built at Stateville, the maximum security prison located in Crest Hill. Joliet continued as an intake center until March 2004. The Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side was previously investigated during Part II of Illinois EPA's Redevelopment Assessment in April 2007. 2.5 Site Geology Three major aquifer systems exist in the Joliet area: (1) the uppermost glacial drift aquifer, (2) a shallow bedrock aquifer (the Silurian Dolomite aquifer), and (3) a confined deep bedrock aquifer (upper part of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer). The glacial drift aquifer ranges in thickness from zero to approximately 90 feet. This aquifer is not utilized by public drinking water systems due to yielding low volumes of water. The shallow Dedrock aquifer is approximately 100 feet thick and can produce usable quantities of water. However, the shallow bedrock aquifer has a strong sulfur odor and causes iron staining which limits its use. Despite the shallow bedrock aquifer's neturally poor water quality, it supplies some water to local homeowners (Brattstrom 2000). According to the Illinois EPA Source Water Assessment Survey Database, there are 25 community water supplies and 25 non-community water supplies within 4 miles of the site. The deep 12bedrock aquifer is separated fiom the shallow bedrock aquifer by 100 feet of impermeable shale. This layer prevents water from moving from the shallow bedrock aquifer to the deeper bedrock aquifer (Army 1997). Will County is made up of ground moraines, end moraines, glacial outwash plains, stream terraces, flood plains, and bogs. The county is in the Till Plains and Great Lake Sections of the Central Lowland Province (Leighton and others 1948). Two further subdivisions make up the county. The Wheaton Moraine Country occurs in the eastem two-thirds of the county, and the Kankakee Plain makes up the rest of the county. Will County has relatively low relief. Blevation ranges from about 500 feet above sea level in the areas where the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers leave the county to about 830 feet on the Valparaiso Moraine, directly west of Monee. Several moraines extend through the county. The Minooka Moraine forms a north-south ridge along the Will-Kendall County border. It does not extend south of the Des Plaines River. The Rockdale Moraine begins in northern Will County, where it emerges from under the Valparaiso Moraine and extends southward between the Du Page and Des Plaines Rivers, Three small valleys, formerly glacial drainage ways, are traceable through the Rockdale Moraine. A wide break occurs in the Des Plaines River Valley. South of this valley, the moraine extends to Elwood and southeast to about Symerton. The Manhattan Moraine begins directly south of Joliet and extends in a southeasterly direction into Kankakee County. It is broken in several places by small valleys of streams arising in the Valparaiso Moraine to the northeast. The Valparaiso Moraine, a very broad moraine, is the largest of the moraine ridges in Will county, covering most of the northeastern part of the county. It extends into Du Page and Cook Counties on the north and eastward into Indiana. A fairly prominent front occurs along 13much of its outer margin. In the past this moraine formed a drainage divide between the Illinois and Mississippi River systems and the St. Lawrence River system. The Tinley Moraine touches the extreme northeast corner of Will County at Steger. (Soil Survey of Will County, Illinois, 2001). Most drainage waters in Will County now flow into the Illinois River through the Du Page, Des Plaines, and Kankakee Rivers. The waters from Plum Creek and other north-flowing streams formerly flowed into Lake Michigan, however, after construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the opening of the Calumet Sag Channel these waters were mostly diverted to the Illinois River (Wascher and others, 1962). ‘The soil on which the Joliet Prison is situated is comprised of Orthents. The United States Department of Agriculture soil taxonomy describes Orthents as exceedingly shallow soils that are of loamy and clayey material with no defined horizons. This type of soil develops on steep slopes or areas of bedrock that has been subject to erosional conditions. Soil borings completed during this Phase II ESA and previous investigations at the prison property consist of fill material comprised of loam, black cinders, limestone cobbles and gravel, and black silty clay material. Geoprobe borings were advanced to refusal as shallow as two (2) feet below ground surface to a maximum of 12.5 feet below ground surface due to the presence of limestone bedrock at the indicated depths Drinking water for the City of Joliet is supplied by fifleen deep (bedrock) wells (pumping water from 1,000 feet below the surface) and five shallow (gravel) wells (pumping from 80 feet below ground surface) located throughout the city. The Joliet public water supply primarily serves residents within the corporate limits of the city; 4some provisions are in effet for shared resources with other municipalities. Joliet provides wholesale service to a portion of the Village of Channahon, which in turn distributes this water to its consumers. Joliet also provides water to the Village of Rockdale and Southeast Joliet Sanitary District systems during times when their supplies are not able to meet the demands of the users of their systems. An interconnection is also maintained with the Village of Shorewood. This interchangeable connection was last used in the summer of 1998 to provide water from the Shorewood system to the Joliet system. 153.0 FIELD INVESTGATION ACTIVITIES and ANALYTICAL RESULTS 3.1. Sampling Activities ‘The Illinois EPA’s OSE conducted a Phase II investigation at the subject property on March 16 ~ 18, 2015. The investigation was performed in accordance with the February 19, 2015, Illinois EPA Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Work Plan. Potential boring locations and sampling points were selected at the property based on. review of historical information, a site reconnaissance of the property, results of previous investigations at the property, and current site conditions. In order to characterize subsurface conditions and environmental impacts from historical operations soil borings were performed using direct push technology utilizing the Illinois EPA's Geoprobe 6600. Both soil and groundwater laboratory analytical samples were collected as part of the Phase II ESA investigation. Soil samples were collected at various locations and depths throughout the property. Groundwater samples were collected outside the west wall of the prison as groundwater was encountered in that area only. The Joliet Correctional Center - West Side property, the prison, is composed of approximately 20 buildings. Due to the ground surface within the prison area being covered mostly with asphalt and concrete, the sample locations were placed in grassy areas where there was not interference from underground utilities. The buildings and surrounding grounds with the greatest potential for impact from possible use of hazardous materials include the laundry building, metal fabrication shop, wire manufacturing operation, and the power house/boiler house. Also of environmental concern was an area west of the west wall of the prison which was historically a location for vehicle fueling and a storage area. This area was targeted due to possible fuel spills. Figure 3 identifies soil sampling locations from the April 2007 Redevelopment Assessment, Figure 5 16identifies the groundwater sample location from the April 2007 Redevelopment Assessment, and Figure 7 identifies the March 2015 Geoprobe soil boring locations as well as soil and groundwater sample locations. Soil cores obtained fiom soil borings were field analyzed for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and total metal analytes using a PBB-RAE photo-ionization detector (PID) and an Innov-X X-Ray Tube analyzer (XRF). Each core was screened for VOCs and heavy metal analytes at various intervals throughout each core. Bach core was also evaluated for the presence of groundwater. The results assisted in determining if a soil sample was to be collected at a certain interval, and if a groundwater sample was feasible. Samples collected for laboratory analysis were either shipped to the Illinois EPA. laboratory in Springfield or delivered directly to the laboratory by Illinois EPA personnel, Laboratory analysis included VOCs, Semi-Volatile Compounds (SVOCs), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), total metals, mercury, and cyanide for each sample. All field activities were completed and all laboratory analytical samples were collected and maintained in accordance with Illinois EPA Bureau of Land Standard Operating Procedures, Sample material was transferred to containers provided by Illinois EPA’s Contract Laboratory Program. Proper Chain of Custody (COC) procedures were followed regarding sample collection, preservation, and delivery to the laboratory. Copies of the COC forms, analytical data package, including quality assurance review sheets are available upon request. Laboratory analytical results and corresponding Remediation Objectives (ROs) can be found in Tables 1 and 2 of this report. Photo documentation of sample collection is presented in Appendix B. Soil boring locations and all sample locations were recorded during the Phase Il ESA using a Trimble Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. 173.1.1 Soil Sampling Activities During this investigation subsurface materials were continuously cored at eighteen (18) soil boring locations throughout the subject property utilizing the Illinois EPA's Geoprobe 6600, A S-foot continuous Macro-core sampler was advanced at 4-foot intervals to obtain soil cores for characterization and analysis. On this property borings were advanced to refusal to limestone bedrock which varies from 1.7 feet below ground surface (bgs) at Geoprobe boring GP-17 to 12 feet bgs at Geoprobe boring GP-S. Each soil core was visually inspected, field analyzed at various depths for the presence of VOCs and total metals using @ PID and XRF instruments, and logged by Illinois EPA field personnel. ‘Twenty-nine (29) soil samples were collected from eighteen (18) boring locations and analyzed for volatile, semi-volatile, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and inorganic compounds. Samples were collected by utilizing the Illinois EPA’s Geoprobe 6600. At the majority of the Geoprobe boring locations two laboratory analytical soil samples were collected. Twenty (20) of the soil samples were collected from the upper three feet of surface material, nine (9) samples were collected from deeper soil horizons based on observations during field based screening. Factors influencing the selection of sampling intervals included visual observations, field analytical results, soil type, and depth considerations. If evidence of contamination was not apparent, laboratory analytical samples were collected to satisfy the data requirements of Illinois EPA’s Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) as related to various human exposure routes, Refer to Table 4 for sample descriptions. 183.1.2. Groundwater Sampling Activities Three laboratory analytical groundwater samples were collected during the Phase II ESA investigation at the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side (Figure 5). Groundwater samples were collected from location G101/G102 (Duplicate of G101) (the same location, as soil samples X124, X125/X126 (Duplicate of X125)), and G104 (the same location as soil samples X128 and X129), utilizing the Illinois EPA’s Geoprobe and a Screen Point 16 Groundwater Sampler. The sampler consists of a four foot stainless steel wire wrapped screen within a sealed steel sheath. At the desired depth the drive rods are retracted four feet which deploys the screen. During this investigation sample collection was facilitated using polyethylene tubing, inserted through the drive rods and into the screen. Groundwater was extracted from the desired depth using a variable speed peristaltic pump. Groundwater was purged until water quality measurements indicated stabilization and groundwater showed signs of clearing, at which time the sample was collected. The Geoprobe advanced the Sereen Point 16 groundwater sampling device to 10.5 feet below ground surface at sample location G101/G102. The sampling screen was then exposed from 6.5 feet bgs to 10.5 feet bgs in black to dark brown soft silty clay and weathered yellow limestone. Groundwater was collected as a grab sample. At sample location G104 the Geoprabe advanced the Screen Point 16 groundwater sampling device to 9.0 feet bgs. The sampling screen was exposed from 5.0 feet bgs to 9.0 feet bgs in black silty clay and ‘weathered yellow limestone, Groundwater was collected as a grab sample. The bore holes used for sample collection were backfilled with granular bentonite following removal of the rod string and screen. Sample G103 was prepared and designated as the field blank for this investigation. Collection of a field blank consists of filling groundwater sample containers with de- 19ionized water from a glass container which has been prepared by the Illinois EPA’s Laboratory. Groundwater in the area is determined to be Class I. The City of Joliet public water supply system draws its groundwater ftom fifteen (15) deep (bedrock) wells, and five (5) sand and gravel wells. The bedrock wells obtain groundwater from approximately 1000 feet below ground surface, while the shallow sand and gravel wells obtain groundwater ffom approximately 80 feet below ground surface, The wells are located in different areas throughout the city. The Joliet public water supply system primarily serves residents within the corporate limits, however, some provisions are in effect for shared resources with other municipalities. In addition to the community water supply systems in the area, numerous private drinking water wells also exist throughout the area, 3.2 Analytical Results Laboratory analytical soil and groundwater samples collected during the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side Phase II ESA were analyzed by the Illinois EPA laboratory. The sample containers were packaged, sealed, and tracked in accordance with Illinois BPA’s OSE’s Standard Operating Procedures. A list of individual compounds analyzed by the laboratory may be referenced in Appendix C. A complete analytical data package is provided under separate cover as Appendix D. 3.2.1 Soil Sampling Analytical Results As each soil core was extracted fiom its respective boring, it was visually inspected and field analyzed at various depths for the presence of VOCs and total metals using a PID and XRF. Most PID readings indicated ambient conditions. However, elevated PID 20readings were encountered in cores removed from borings GP-2/X104 (1043 units at 8 feet bgs), GP-12/X119 (89 units at 6 inches bgs), and GP-16/X127 (114 units at 36 inches bgs). Laboratory analytical results of the twenty-nine (29) soil samples collected at Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side did not reveal any volatile compounds. Soil samples 103 ~X105, X108 ~ X111, X114, X116, X119, X122 ~X124, X127 and X128 exceeded the TACO Tier 1 Remediation Objectives for Residential Exposure Routes for ‘benzo(a)pyrene (Table 1). Soil samples X104 and X127 also exceeded corresponding objectives for several other PNA compounds (Table 1). Inorganic analysis revealed arsenic exceeded TACO Tier 1 ROs for Residential Exposure Routes in samples X103, X105, X113, X115, X119, X120, X122, X124, and X127. Residential ROs for lead were also exceeded in samples X103, X105, X117, and X120. TACO Tier 1 ROs for mercury were exceeded for the construction worker inhalation route in soil samples X103, X105, X108, X109, X111, X112, X114, X116 — 120, X12, X123, X127, and X128. During the time frame the prison operated, there were no known processes that may have used arsenic or mercury. However, the combustion of fossil fuels, particularly coal, introduces large quantities of arsenic and mercury into the environment. Arsenic may also occur as a result of former pesticide, insecticide and/or herbicide applications. 3.2.2 Groundwater Sampling Analytical Results Laboratory analytical results of the Phase II ESA groundwater samples (G101/G102, and G104) collected at Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side revealed one organic compound in G101 (diethylphthalate), however it did not exceed Class I 21Groundwater ROs. Inorganic analytical results revealed iron and manganese exceeded Class ] Groundwater ROs in G101 and G102. Lead, iron, and manganese exceeded Class 1 Groundwater ROs in groundwater sample G104 (Table 3). 224.0 | ENDANGERMENT ASSESSMENT 4.1 Hazardous Substances in Connection with Identified Uses Within the prison, of the approximately twenty buildings, four may potentially be areas where hazardous substances could have been used and are present within them or around them. These buildings are the laundry building, the metal fabrication shop, wire manufacturing building, and the power/boiler house. Just beyond the prison walls, to the southwest, the former fueling area may contain various hazardous substances. Chemicals typically used in laundry and dry cleaning facilities were/are hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, naphthas, chlorine, benzaldehyde, perchlorethylene and carbontetrachloride among other compounds. Chemicals and substances utilized in metal fabrication shops and wire manufacture typically are waste oils which may contain chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus compounds; solvents - halogenated and non- halogenated; alkaline and acid cleaners; and if plating is involved cadmium cyanide, copper, nickel, and chromium among others may be utilized in the electroplating operation. Typically a power house/boiler house is fueled with coal, oil, or natural gas. Wastes can consist of spent coal ash, spilled fuel oil, spilled or spent lubrication oils and spent solvents from general maintenance and cleaning of motors and generators. 4.2 Recognized Environmental Conditions Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) are defined in the ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-05 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum 23products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. Conditions determined to be de minimus are not RECs (ASTM, 2005). As specified in the Phase I ESA for the Joliet Correctional Center — West Side, given the past operational history of the subject property there are several known or suspected RECs that may be associated with or suspected to be associated with past uses of facilities within the prison complex. Further investigation of these RECs during the Phase II ESA, consisting of collection of laboratory analytical soil samples, has indicated exceedances of TACO Tier 1 Remediation Objectives (ROs). Of the twenty-nine (29) soil samples submitted for laboratory analysis, fifteen (15) contained contaminant concentrations exceeding ROs of one or more of the following SVOCs: benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and indeno(1,2,3-ed)pyrene; and seventeen (17) contained contaminant concentrations exceeding ROs of one or more of the following total metal analytes: antimony, arsenic, lead, manganese, and mercury. With the exception of three soil samples (X104, X110, and X117) containing concentrations exceeding ROs, all of the other soil samples identified exceeding ROs were collected at depths less than three (3) feet below ground surface. Analytical results of the groundwater samples collected during the Phase II ESA indicate iron and manganese concentrations exceed ROs for Class I groundwater in samples G101, G102, and G104. Analysis also indicated lead concentrations exceeded ROs in G104. Remediation of areas containing soil and groundwater concentrations exceeding TACO Tier 1 ROs must be addressed pursuant to the statutory guidelines provided inTACO before the property would be eligible for a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the Illinois BPA. 4.3 Migration Pathways and Exposure Assessment Migration pathways discussed in this section include the Soil Exposure Pathway, the Groundwater Migration Pathway, the surface water Pathway, and the Air Migration Pathway. In consideration of the Soil Exposure Pathway, contaminants (benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(b)fluoranthene, lead, mercury) impacting the shallow soil within the prison and within close proximity of the prison may pose a tisk to persons working at or moving around the site due to SVOC and metal concentrations exceeding TACO Tier 1 ROs. At the current time, access to the property is restricted. However, if the property is developed for public access, exposure to contaminants would be an issue. Ifexcavation occurs in areas of concern precautions should be taken to limit or prevent contact with the contaminated soil. Offsite migration via the Groundwater Migration Pathway is considered a slight concern since groundwater is determined to be Class I and lead, iron, and manganese concentrations in onsite groundwater execed Class I groundwater ROs. The Illinois State Geological Survey — Illinois Water and Related Wells database indicates that approximately seven private drinking water wells and two commercial wells exist within a one mile radius of the Joliet Correctional Center-West Side. Depths ranged from 60 feet to 250 feet. The majority of these wells were drilled and utilized in the 1920's, however a few were drilled and utilized in the 1970's. Given the age of the private well data and the existing drinking water infrastructure within Joliet, the use and viability of the private 25wells is questionable. The City of Joliet obtains its drinking water from fifteen (15) deep wells and five (5) shallow wells located throughout the city. The deep wells draw water from approximately 1000 feet bgs, the shallow wells draw from approximately 80 feet bgs. The aquifer utilized by the deep wells is isolated from potentially contaminated shallow groundwater by a thick layer of shale existing in the area. The city also continually monitors groundwater utilized by its customers. Ifthe shallow bedrock aquifer is utilized by local area businesses and residents there is a possibility that this could be an avenue for ingesting contaminated groundwater. Local surface water may be impacted and of concern if surface water percolates, through contaminated soil and leaches into nearby water bodies particularly the former quarries east of the prison and a depression immediately southwest of the prison, Surface drainage fiom within the prison and the depression outside of the prison is collected in area storm water drains placed throughout the prison grounds then enters an underground storm water drainage system which discharges to the Des Plaines River approximately 0.5 miles west of the prison property. However, the discharge is regulated by the Illinois EPA by means of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and there are no known violations. Migration of contaminants through the Air Migration Pathway is unlikely since most of the property is covered by grass and concrete or asphalt. However, mowing within the prison grounds may cause individuals to come into contact with airborne particulates and windy conditions may also cause dust and particulates from bare areas to become airborne and come into contact with individuals. Modifications to the surface of the property could increase the risk of airborne contamination due to the presence of 26SVOCs and metals in near surface material at concentrations exceeding TACO Tier 1 ROs. 275.0 REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL This section includes a summary of the analytical data gathered during the Phase IT ESA investigation activities, a description of the TACO process for establishing remediation objectives, and identifies information gaps where additional information or investigation may be needed. The soil and groundwater samples collected by Illinois EPA’s Office of Site Evaluation focused upon identifying the presence of hazardous substances and petroleum or petroleum products at concentrations above applicable Illinois EPA ROs, not to define the complete extent of contamination. 5.1 Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) Illinois EPA’s Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) guidance document (effective July 15, 2013, under 35 IL. Adm. Code Part 742), presents an approach for developing remediation objectives that include an option for exclusion of pathways from further consideration, use of area background concentrations as remediation objectives, and three tiers for selecting applicable remediation objectives (35 TAC Part 742, July 15, 2013). The Illinois EPA will use this guidance, and the groundwater standards established in 35 IL. Adm. Code Part 620, to determine soil and groundwater remediation objectives at redevelopment assessment sites. ‘The goal of the risk-based approach is to protect human health and the environment, while using specific data to allow for more cost-effective remedial actions. The ris -based approach allows remediation efforts to be focused upon specific exposure routes that pose a threat to either human health and/or the environment. The following paragraphs discuss three tiers and two alternative methods of evaluation in the Illinois 28EPA TACO guidance document. Tier 1 consists of “look-up” tables, which consider limited site-specific information and are based on simple, numeric models. Depending on future land use, two Tier 1 tables exist, one for the residential scenario, and one for the industrial/eommercial scenario. The industrial/commercial scenario includes a construction worker scenario as well. The Tier 1 table contains objectives (or in some cases groundwater standards) for the groundwater and soil exposure route, These exposure routes include the groundwater ingestion route, the soil component of the groundwater ingestion route (migration to groundwater), the soil ingestion route and the soil inhalation route. The Tier | approach requires knowledge of contaminant concentrations and extent, the groundwater classification, and potential receptors. ‘Tier 2 allows for the use of more site-specific information (such as soil and hydrogeologic characteristics, and institutional controls). Tier 2 is useful where actual site conditions do not reflect the assumptions used to derive the Tier 1 values. Tier 2 uses simple analytical models and is still conservative in nature, but allows for site specific data to be considered. Analytical models similar to the Soil Screening Levels (SSLs) proposed by U.S. EPA and Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA) guidance prepared by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are used to determine site-specific remediation objectives for a site ‘Tier 3 evaluations address all other situations that cannot be addressed under Tier 1 or Tier 2. Any situation in which an ecological threat is present must be evaluated under Tier 3. Tier 3 evaluations include, but ate not limited to: risk assessments, use of models different from those in Tier 2, impractical remediation due to physical barriers, and the modification of parameters not allowed under Tier 2. 29In addition to the individual tiers of analysis, there are two alternative means for addressing the presence of contamination: exclusion of pathways, and reliance on area background. The first option, exclusion of pathways, is based on the premise that an exposure pathway must exist for contamination to present a threat to human health. [fit can be shown that a pathway does not exist for any contaminants of concern, then that exposure pathway for those contaminants need not be addressed. The methods for evaluating and excluding exposure routes are set forth in Subpart C of the TACO guidance document. The second option, reliance on area background, is based on Section 58.5(b)(1) of the Act, which provides that the property owner(s) or property custodian(s) shall not be required to remediate contaminants of concern to levels that are less than area background levels. If it can be shown that a contaminant of concern is present at levels that do not exceed area background levels for the property, then that contaminant need not be addressed further. Under appropriate circumstances, background concentrations are set forth in Subpart D of the TACO guidance document. Institutional controls must be placed on a property when ROs are based on one or more assumptions outlined in Section 742.1000 of the TACO guidance document. Institutional controls are legal mechanisms for imposing restrictions and conditions on land use. Subpart J of TACO outlines the various types of institutional controls and provides guidance on how they are applied to modify site specific ROs. Institutional controls, engineered barriers and groundwater ordinances are frequently used to exclude exposure routes from further consideration. Since the proposed future use of the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side property is to establish it as a museum, contaminant concentrations identified at the property were compared to residential remediation objectives. 305.2. Areas Requiring Further Investigation Boring locations were selected throughout the subject property in an attempt to identify the presence of hazardous substances and petroleum or petroleum products at concentrations above applicable Illinois EPA ROs. Although attempts were made to characterize as much of the subject property as possible, contamination may exist at locations which could not be accessed at the time of the investigation, were located in areas between soil boring locations, or were beyond the scope of this Phase II ESA. Some additional soil sampling may be required in areas where SVOCs and inorganics were detected above the ingestion ROs (soil boring locations GP-2, GP-3, GP-S through GP-18) to accurately determine the horizontal extent of contamination. To further assess the migration to groundwater exceedances for metals, additional soil samples could be collected from elevated locations and analyzed for Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) for additional comparison to migration to groundwater ROs. Groundwater samples collected during the Phase II ESA were grab samples collected using the Illinois EPA Geoprobe®. Analytical results for samples G101, G102, and G104 identified metal concentrations greater than ROs for iron and manganese. In addition, analytical results for sample G104 identified lead at a concentration greater than groundwater ROs. Metal concentrations could be artificially elevated based on the presence of suspended solids. Additional groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells using low flow sampling could reduce the amount of suspended solids in the sample. Collection of filtered and unfiltered samples could also demonstrate that metal exceedances were related to the presence of suspended solids. Also, a demonstration 31could also be made that the elevated metal concentrations were indicative of background conditions rather than impacts from the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side property. 5.3 Exposure Pathway Assessment Exposure pathways discussed below include the soil ingestion, soil inhalation (construction worker), soil component of the groundwater ingestion (migration to groundwater), and groundwater ingestion pathways. The current site exposure scenario is as follows: 1) The site is currently inactive with approximately 20 structures. Surrounding the structures are four 20 to 24 foot tall stone walls. The walls and structures have a high level of attractiveness; 2) Within the walls, the prison grounds are covered largely by grass and to a lesser degree, concrete and asphalt sidewalks and roadways. Some gravel areas also are present; and 3) Although travelers along Route 66 as well as. local residents routinely visit an adjacent parking lot that contains informational plaques describing the history of the Joliet Correctional Center, entrance to the interior of the prison is restricted. 5.3.1 Soil Ingestion Pathway Fifteen (15) soil samples contained contaminant concentrations exceeding residential ingestion ROs of one or more of the following SVOCs: benzo(a)pyrene, ‘benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b) luoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, Gibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and indeno( ,2,3-cd)pyrene. Bighteen (18) soil samples contained contaminant concentrations exceeding residential ingestion ROs of one or more of the following total metal analytes: antimony, arsenic, lead, manganese, and mercury. Based on the results of Illinois EPA sampling, additional investigative activities are 32necessary near GP-107 and GP-109 to identify the extent of contamination above soil ROs. Once the extent of contamination has been identified, multiple options are available to address RO exceedances. As groundwater is determined to be Class I, site specific Tier 2 ROs can be calculated for chemical compounds exceeding soil ROs. If contaminant concentrations in soil exceed Tier 2 ROs, remediation of contaminated soil may be required to meet ROs. Institutional controls and engineered barriers can be used to modify exposure scenarios and remove exposure pathways from further consideration. 5.3.2. Soil Inhalation Pathway (construc yn worker) Sixteen (16) soil samples contained contaminant concentrations exceeding construction worker inhalation ROs for mercury. A construction worker caution should be established if there is any excavations conducted in the future on-site 5.3.3. Soil Component of the Groundwater Ingestion Pathway (migration to groundwater) One (1) soil sample contained contaminant concentrations exceeding migration to ground water ROs for benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene. Eighteen (18) soil samples contained contaminant concentrations exceeding residential ingestion ROs of one or more of the following total metal analytes: antimony, arsenic, lead, manganese, and mercury. To further assess the migration to groundwater exceedances for metals, additional soil sample analysis is required by Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) for additional comparison to migration to groundwater ROs.5.3.4 Groundwater Ingestion Pathway Three (3) groundwater samples contained contaminant concentrations exceeding groundwater ingestion Class I ROs for iron, and manganese. In addition, one of the groundwater samples contained lead exceeding Class I ROs. The presence of metals in groundwater above Illinois EPA ROs may be the result of elevated background concentrations or may be related to the sampling techniques used to collect the groundwater samples from the groundwater sample location adjacent to the soil boring locations. Procedures for determining area background concentrations in groundwater are outlined in Subpart D of TACO. Ifthe elevated metal concentrations are the result of suspended solids in the groundwater samples, filtered and non-filtered samples could be collected in the future for comparison. 346.0 | RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ‘The purpose of this Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was to characterize subsurface conditions, determine the magnitude of contamination at known and suspected sources, and to determine if groundwater was subject to contamination in order to evaluate the property’s redevelopment potential. Although a comprehensive investigation was conducted by the Illinois EPA, no assurances can be made that all areas of contamination and their extent have been fully identified. This information may be used by the Forest Preserve District of Will County, the City of Joliet, the Illinois Department of Correction, State of Illinois Central Management Services, or any perspective purchasers to determine the redevelopment potential of the property. Currently inactive, the future use of the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side property is to establish it as a museum. ‘The author is unaware of any property use restrictions that may currently be imposed on the property. Illinois EPA used historical information and the results of previous Illinois EPA investigations at the site to develop an investigation plan for this Phase II ESA. Illinois EPA completed Phase II soil borings to characterize subsurface conditions near known and suspected source areas, Laboratory analytical soil and groundwater samples were collected from soil borings near potential sources of contamination within the walls of the prison as well as outside the walls. Benzo(a)pyrene was present in fifteen soil samples, exceeding Illinois EPA residential ROs. A few additional SVOCs were present in two of those soil samples exceeding Illinois EPA residential ROs. Arsenic and mercury were each detected in a number of soil samples exceeding Illinois EPA residential ROs. During the time frame the prison operated, there were no known processes that may have used arsenic or mercury. However, the combustion of fossil fuels, particularly coal, 35introduces large quantities of SVOCs, arsenic and mereury into the environment. Arsenic may also occur as a result of former pesticide, insecticide and/or herbicide applications Various metals were also detected in groundwater samples from Screen Point-16 sample locations exceeding Illinois EPA ROs. Elevated metal concentrations in the groundwater samples are likely indicative of background conditions, or may have been the caused by the presence of suspended solids in the groundwater samples. It is recommended that the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side be enrolled in the Illinois EPA’s Site Remediation Program (SRP) to address environmental concerns identified on the property. Once enrolled, if Tier 1 ROs are not desired, site specific Tier 2 ROs can be calculated. Once site specific ROs are established, soil and groundwater contamination above ROs may be remediated or managed in accordance with the provisions of 35 IAC Part 742 (TACO) to levels protective of human health and the environment. Various institutional controls including property use restrictions, engineered barriers, and groundwater use restrictions are viable options available through the SRP to minimize exposure to contaminants related to releases identified at the subject property. Those entities associate with Joliet Coreetional Center ~ West Side should consider dialog with Illinois EPA’s SRP personnel on how to proceed through the SRP program to address contamination identified on the prison property. ‘The physical condition of various buildings on site represents an additional hazard to anyone entering them. Building materials may contain hazardous substances that pose a risk to human health and the environment, The Illinois EPA recommends that an assessment of the buildings be performed by a qualified inspector to identify hazardous substances present within the buildings.Recognized environmental conditions that may impact the redevelopment potential for the Joliet Correctional Center ~ West Side property include: 1) the presence of SVOC contaminants in soil exceeding Illinois EPA Tiet 1 ROs; 2) the potential off-site migration of contaminated groundwater; 3) the presence of metals in soil and ‘groundwater above Illinois EPA Tier 1 ROs; and 4) the condition of various buildings on- site and their potential for containing hazardous materials. 37FIGURES and TABLESa © nS og 50 > Dah ic ok 7)Figure 3 Prison Soil Sample Locations iFigure 4 Topographic Map z Miles 12Figure 5 Groundwater Sample Locations 0370 740 1,480 2,220Figure 6 1939 Aerial PhotographSee] pera . \ana)-thtx—— Peer) Pit 0 oa Clie) ED oy q eure SFdo = a Cre e aay ae) ee ce cid ene cor >: | ag J Es ac a | ce icv cent Stone Cultihg [Yorn Eoeeer ores) fern esacas ais) Peer cuel Ba econcerca compose opto one!
