MDEQ would like to know if anyone from Region 5, or EPA Headquarters is attending the meeting

described below. This is the first that I have heard about the two day meeting. MDEQ has not seen an

agenda for the meeting yet, so I do not know what the purpose is.

Al,

Yesterday, I sent an e-mail to the Natural Resourec Trustees on behalf

of Dow inviting them to attend the April 9th and 10th meetings in

Lansing. I have not heard back from any of them as yet.

For planning purposes, it would be helpful if you could let me know as


soon as possible how many from MDEQ and USEPA Region 5 we might expect

to attend.

Give me a call if you have any questions...

Joe

FYI -

Does Dow know that Ells and Greenbery are not going to the meeting per Gade?

>>> "Joseph Heimbuch" <heimbuch@demaximis.com> 4/1/2008 4:33 PM >>>

All...

In order to make the upcoming April 9th and 10th technical meetings as

productive and efficient as possible for Steve Ells and Marc

Greenberg,
we (Dow) wanted to offer them the opportunity to get caught with the

rest

of the folks from MDEQ and USEPA, Region 5 - who have been involved

over a

longer period. As a result, we are setting up a brief web meeting for

Steve

and Marc sometime this week. This web meeting will basically include

the

powerpoints and/or information that was presented recently in a couple

of different meetings with MDEQ and others on the site background; the

geomorphological features of the two rivers; and an overview of sample

results.

An exact date and time has not been determined; however, we are

currently

looking at Wednesday or Thursday afternoons or Friday (except for early

afternoon).

Representatives from MDEQ or USEPA, Region 5 are certainly welcome to

participate.

Please let me know as soon as possible as to you participation so I can

provide the call-in number and web link information in advance.

Attached is the letter that was completed late this afternoon on the IRAs that

are being requested of Dow. I thought we would share this with you in draft

form to see if you have any comment. The City of Midland will be handled as a

separate IRA.

It would be helpful to have any comments that you would like to provide by

9:00 am on Friday April 11, or sooner. We are targeting this letter to go out

late on April 11th.

DRAFT 4/10/2008 3:00 PM

April __, 2008 DRAFT

VIA E-MAIL and U.S. MAIL

Mr. Greg Cochran, Director


Michigan Dioxin Initiative

Michigan Operations

The Dow Chemical Company

1790 Building, Washington Street

Midland, Michigan 48674

Dear Mr. Cochran:

SUBJECT: 2008 Interim Response Activities (IRA)/Pilot Corrective Action Plans (PCAP)

Notice for the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw River; The Dow Chemical

Company (Dow); MID 000 724 724

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has determined that IRAs for

portions of the Tittabawassee River are necessary in accordance with Conditions XI.B.9.

and XI.G. of the hazardous waste management facility operating license (License) issued to

Dow on June 12, 2003, pursuant to Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of the Natural

Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (Act 451). In some

cases these IRAs are a continuation of work that Dow began implementing in 2007 as IRAs

and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)

removal actions.

Pursuant to Condition XI.G.1. of the License, Dow is required to submit written IRA Work

Plan(s) to the Chief of the Waste and Hazardous Materials Division (WHMD) for review and

approval within 60 days of this notification. Condition XI.B.9. of the License provides that the

WHMD Chief may require Dow to implement IRAs to prevent, minimize, or mitigate injury to

public health, safety, welfare, or the environment in accordance with Condition XI.G. of the

License at any of the specific off-site area(s) identified in Condition XI.B.2. of the License

(which includes the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw River sediments and/or floodplain) at

any time during the corrective action process where information indicates that injury has, or

may have, resulted directly or indirectly from the facility. Condition XI.G. of the License

requires such activities to conform with or be substantively equivalent to the IRA provisions

of Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of Act 451, and Conditions XI.G.1. - XI.G.7. of the

License.

Consistent with discussions held between Dow and the MDEQ in 2007, and most recently

on March 25, 2008, the MDEQ supports the implementation of certain IRAs, once approved,

as PCAPs. If successful, the information obtained from implementation of these PCAPs may

be used to address areas that require IRAs and/or possibly final corrective actions in other

portions of the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw River. Mr. Greg Cochran 2 April __, 2008

DRAFT

Specific IRAs/PCAPs Required by this Notification

At this time, the MDEQ has determined that the following IRAs are necessary for the

Tittabawassee River and Saginaw River:

Reach D

1. Dow recently notified the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the

MDEQ that the performance-based work required by the July 2007, CERCLA Removal

Order was complete and that Dow would begin restoration activities at Reach D

beginning in April 2008. During the March 25, 2008, meeting between Dow and the

MDEQ, Dow was notified by the MDEQ that additional corrective action work would be

necessary at the Reach D area because elevated levels of dioxins and furans continue
to be present in the Reach D area. In addition, other contaminants of concern, such as

chlorobenzenes and hexachlorobutadiene, which were not specifically addressed by the

CERCLA removal action, remain at levels that require further interim response work.

Dow and the MDEQ agreed to a follow-up meeting with the U.S. EPA to further discuss

these issues; that meeting took place on April 3, 2008. During the meeting on April 3,

2008, the MDEQ, Dow, and the U.S. EPA agreed that in order to close out work under

the CERCLA Removal Order, Dow would complete a number of “micro removals” to

address high levels of residual dioxin contamination followed by verification sampling in

these areas. As agreed at this meeting, the verification sampling is to include analysis

for dioxin and furans as well as: (a) the list of other contaminants of concern and (b)

detailed descriptions of the sampled media to distinguish resuspended sediments versus

bottom sediments. This would complete work required under the CERCLA Removal

Order and remaining work on elevated levels of dioxins and other contaminants of

concern would be conducted under an IRA Work Plan approved by the MDEQ. This

work is also to include additional delineation of contamination in the Reach D area and

probable additional sediment removal and/or capping and maintenance and monitoring.

Although not discussed during the meeting on April 3, 2008, it may appropriate to

evaluate this area as a candidate for the design and operation of a sediment trap,

depending on the results of the additional characterization work and the nature of the

remaining contaminants.

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege


2. Tittabawassee Bank Stabilization Interim Response Activity/Pilot Corrective Action Plan

Large areas of bank erosion are present along the Tittabawassee River. In many cases

these eroding areas are highly contaminated with dioxins and furans. Consistent with the

U.S. EPA’s December 2005 Contaminated Sediment Guidance Document and in

follow-up to the MDEQ’s 2007 requirement to conduct IRAs on eroding banks in the

upper six miles of the Tittabawassee River Study Area, the MDEQ is now requiring Dow

to prioritize and propose three areas where bank stabilization will be implemented in

2008. In addition to controlling active sources of contamination early, the goal of these

projects would be to evaluate the effectiveness of bank stabilization technologies for

further use along the Tittabawassee River. Monitoring before and after bank stabilization

will be necessary for this evaluation.

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege


Mr. Greg Cochran 3 April __, 2008 DRAFT

As previously discussed with Dow, the MDEQ and the Natural Resource Damage

Assessment (NRDA) Trustees believe that it is important to evaluate technologies that have

a “soft footprint” and are less intrusive than the CERCLA removal action proposed and

implemented by Dow on Reach J/K. The MDEQ has identified several areas that are of high

concern along the upper and middle Tittabawassee River, and we would like to discuss

these areas with Dow in light of the data that was submitted on March 1, 2008 (2007

Tittabawassee River Characterization Report), and April 1, 2008 (River Bank Stabilization

Pilot Corrective Action Project Report for the Tittabawassee River). The MDEQ considers

this work to be a very high priority. Without controls to stabilize or remove active eroding

bank sources, any other areas in the river channel or on the floodplain that have had

remedial actions completed are at risk of becoming recontaminated.

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege

3. Saginaw River Sediment Trap Pilot Ongoing studies that have been conducted under the

Alternative Dispute Resolution/NRDA process have demonstrated the merits of

designing and proceeding with a pilot sediment trap on the Saginaw River. The February

1, 2008, Saginaw River and Bay Scope of Work (SRB SOW) Approval with Modifications

requires Dow to begin removing sediments from the Saginaw River as an IRA.

Consistent with the SRB SOW Approval with Modifications, Dow is required to develop

and submit a work plan to begin removing sediments from the Sixth Street Turning Basin

Area as an IRA.

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege


Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege

4. Tittabawassee In-Channel Deposits During the implementation of the sampling plans to

characterize contaminated sediments in the Tittabawassee River during 2006 and 2007,

Dow identified a number of areas where high levels of contamination are present in river

sediments. Dow is required to evaluate and remove, cap, or otherwise stabilize, where

necessary, any areas in the Tittabawassee River where sediment concentrations in the

upper one foot the of sediment profile exceed 10,000 parts per trillion (ppt) TEQ. Where

sediment concentrations are greater than 10,000 ppt at the sediment surface, as an

interim response, Dow is required to propose removal or capping of these areas.

In the cases of the Reach L and Reach J/K deposits, Dow has indicated that these

deposits are stable in the short term and are unlikely to be remobilized by routine river

events, and Dow has not proposed removal or stabilization of these deposits as IRAs.

The MDEQ has identified several technical concerns with Dow’s evaluation and as an

IRA is now requiring Dow to develop and submit additional data to confirm the short-term

stability of these deposits and to provide additional empirical data on the behavior of

these types of deposits in the Tittabawassee River system. Dow is required to collect

this information early in the 2008 field season in order to determine if it will be necessary

to remove or otherwise stabilize one or both of these high concentration deposits in

advance of the implementation of a final remedy. Note that the surficial concentrations in

excess of 10,000 ppt TEQ that were identified at Reach J/K need to be removed or

capped as noted above as an IRA. Any removal and/or stabilization of these deposits

will need to be sequenced with the removal and/or stabilization of upstream in-channel

and eroding bank deposits to prevent recontamination of these areas after response

activities have been completed.

Mr. Greg Cochran 4 April __, 2008 DRAFT

The following additional information is needed in order to evaluate Dow’s conclusion that the

Reach L and Reach J/K deposits are stable in the short term:

· Characterization of the deposits for other potential constituents of interest (PCOIs).

Samples of the high TEQ material and the “cap” material need to be evaluated for

the other Dow-related PCOIs. Note that the diffusion modeling conducted in the Dow

analysis is likely to be more appropriate for the nondioxin PCOIs.

· Bedload and suspended load sampling conducted on, and adjacent to, upstream and

downstream of the Reach L and Reach J/K deposits.

· Repetition of high resolution bathymetry in late spring of 2008 so that the geometry of

the deposit and adjacent thalweg can be compared to 2007 conditions.

· In-channel measurements to evaluate the stability and movement of the deposit (i.e.,

scour chains and elevation surveys of the top of sediment) over the spring and

summer.

· Additional information on the modeling that was conducted to evaluate the potential for
scour:

- Does the modeling take into account the upstream bridge structures at

Gordonville Road for the upper Reach L deposit?

- What were the results of the model for the 7-10 year flood event and

typical/non-flood flow conditions (especially given the presence of the upstream

constricting bridge structures)?

- What would be the effect of ice damming and/or ice scour on the upper Reach L

deposit, especially given the proximity of the Gordonville Road bridge structure?

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege

The above information will also be useful in the future evaluation of in-channel deposits and

for the Tittabawassee River Remedial Investigation Work Plan.

Ex. 5 - Deliberative Process Privilege


5. Continued Signage and Advisory Outreach on the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw

River

The escrow account that Dow funded to address the placement of advisory signage along

the Tittabawassee River has been exhausted. The posting of additional signs and the

replacement and maintenance of the original signs on the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw

River needs to continue to be addressed as an IRA to advise the public to limit their

exposure to contaminated fish, wild game, and soils.

In addition, since the MDEQ’s supply of the informational pamphlets that were produced as

part of the Communications IRA for use in public outreach activities is nearly depleted, Dow

needs to provide additional copies of these pamphlets to the MDEQ. Mr. Greg Cochran 5

April __, 2008 DRAFT

Therefore, as a continuation of the Communications IRA, Dow is required to refresh the

escrow account so that sign placement and maintenance can continue. Dow is also required

to provide 1000 copies each of the Health Questions - Dioxins and Furans and Reducing

Exposure at Homes informational pamphlets and 300 copies of the Reducing Exposure from

Agricultural Activities informational pamphlets to the MDEQ for continued public outreach

activities.

6. Work Plan to Address the Disturbance and Management of Soils in Areas with Potential

Dioxin/Furan Contamination and Provision of Extent of Contaminated Floodplain

Notification to Miss Dig

Based upon the dioxin and furan investigation results to date that show the portions of the

Tittabawassee River floodplain that are contaminated with greater than 1,000 ppt TEQ

dioxins and furans, Dow is required submit the “Appendix C - Work Plan to Address the

Disturbance and Management of Soils in Areas with Potential Dioxin/Furan Contamination”

portion of the Communications IRA Work Plan that was deferred for later review and

approval at the time the Communications IRA Work Plan was approved in October 2004. In

particular, as part of this IRA, Dow is to provide a notification to the Miss Dig system of the

areas where safety and soil handling precautions should be taken by utility workers,

residents, etc. for any construction activities in these areas. The MDEQ can provide Dow

with a copy of the previous working draft of the Appendix C language.

In conjunction with this IRA, the MDEQ also requires Dow to submit a work plan for working

with the MDEQ to develop and print the informational pamphlet, Management of Disturbed

Soils and Dredged Sediments , required in Section 2.2, Informational Materials to be

Developed, of the February 2004 Communications IRA Work Plan that was approved with

modifications by the MDEQ on October 7, 2004.

Areas Where Follow-up IRAs are Likely to be Necessary in the Near Future

7. Follow-up on Exposure Unit Sampling Areas

The MDEQ, in coordination with U.S. EPA and the Michigan Department of Community

Health (MDCH), is conducting an independent assessment of certain areas along the

Tittabawassee River where the MDEQ has determined that there is high potential for human

exposure to dioxins and furans at levels that may require additional IRAs beyond those

implemented by Dow in 2005 and 2006. Following the review of sampling results and data

interpretation for sampling that is currently being conducted at the Riverside Boulevard Area

and the West Michigan Park Area, the MDEQ, in consultation with the U.S. EPA, MDCH,

and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, will determine what additional

actions, if any, need to be initiated as IRAs.


Although the MDEQ is not requiring additional IRAs in these areas at this time, it is quite

possible, based on initial chemical characterization information, that IRAs beyond those

completed in 2005 and 2006 by Dow, will be required in the near future.

Schedule

As noted above, Condition XI.G.1. of the License requires Dow to submit a written IRA Work

Plan to the Chief of the WHMD for review and approval within 60 days after the licensee

receives written notification by the WHMD Chief that IRAs are necessary. Accordingly, the

Mr. Greg Cochran 6 April __, 2008 DRAFT

IRA/PCAP Work Plan for Reach L must be submitted to this office by June __, 2008. In the

meantime, the MDEQ remains available to meet with Dow to discuss the specific technical

requirements of these IRAs.

Please contact Mr. Al Taylor, Hazardous Waste Section, WHMD, at 517-335-4799 or

taylora@michigan.gov, to schedule a follow-up meeting or if you have any questions

regarding this notification.

Sincerely,
