Michigan Operations
SUBJECT: 2008 Interim Response Activities (IRA)/Pilot Corrective Action Plans (PCAP)
Notice for the Tittabawassee River and Saginaw River; The Dow Chemical
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
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
At this time, the MDEQ has determined that the following IRAs are necessary for the
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
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
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)
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.
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
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
further use along the Tittabawassee River. Monitoring before and after bank stabilization
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
3. Saginaw River Sediment Trap Pilot Ongoing studies that have been conducted under the
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.
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
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
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
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:
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

- What were the results of the model for the 7-10 year flood event and
- 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?
The above information will also be useful in the future evaluation of in-channel deposits and

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

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

Agricultural Activities informational pamphlets to the MDEQ for continued public outreach
activities.

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
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
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

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

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
