Evaluation of Alternatives. The summary of the technical evaluation for the remedial action alternatives for VOC soils contamination in the vadose zone is presented in Table 5-20. Target Areas B and C overlap; consequently, these target areas were combined in the evaluation. Although not presented, excavation may be required for MEK-
and acetone-contaminated soils. Additional field investigation will be conducted during and after soils remedial actions to determine the extent of MEK and acetonecontaminated soils requiring excavation and treatment.
GROUNDWATER
Listing of Alternatives A wide range of alternatives was identified for the UPI portion of the PGA site. The general process and technology options were identified in part based on their potential application to the specific objectives for groundwater at the UPI site. These remedial response actions were:
o o o o
No action Limited action Containment Pumping and onsite treatment
Initial screening of the technologies and process options was based on technical implementability or feasibility. Entire technologies and individual process options were eliminated from further consideration if they could not be implemented because of physical constraints at the site, chemical characteristics, or if their implementation could potentially result in a greater risk to human health and the environment than presently exists.

Groundwater extraction from Subunit C at a higher rate than Option 4, treatment that exceeds background by air stripping, granular activated carbon polishing, and discharge to Subunit C by reinjection or incorporation of treated water into the potable water supply
Three options were considered for the removal of MEK from Subunit A sroundwater:
o o _____ ___,____ Steam stripping, vacuum steam stripping Hot air stripping
The technology evaluation process examined a number of extraction, treatment, and end use alternatives. These are discussed in the Unidynamics Feasibility Study, Chapter 4, and the EPA September 7, 1989, memo listed in the Administrative Record Index (Appendix A).
Screening of Alternatives
The groundwater options were screened based on the requirements outlined in SARA and CERCLA and based on effectiveness, implementability, and cost. Comparative analyses were performed so that options that may be unprotective, ineffective, difficult to implement, or excessively costly would be screened from the list of potentially viable options and dropped from further consideration. Based on this rationale, two alternatives were eliminated:
o o
Ultraviolet/ozone treatment for MEK removal Steam stripping, vacuum steam stripping for MEK removal
H
M
-- ·
The summary of the technical evaluation for the remedial action alternatives for groundwater contaminated by VOCs is presented in Table 5-22.
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
The evaluation of alternatives was undertaken to provide the information needed to select an appropriate action that protects human health and the environment and is cost-effective. The evaluation was performed within the statutory and policy framework mandated by CERCLA and SARA. The evaluation of the various alternatives was based on the following factors:

Effectiveness in meeting remedial action objectives, implementability, and cost-effectiveness
A summary of the detailed analysis of groundwater alternatives is presented in Table 5-23. Detailed costs are
presented in Table 5-24. No Action Alternative. The no action alternative would
allow the groundwater contamination to spread over an everwidening area and would likely have continuing adverse environmental and health consequences. These include exposure to carcinogens and other harmful contaminants through ingestion of water and soil and inhalation of soil gas released from pumped groundwater. Extraction/Treatment Alternatives. The pumping alternatives for both Subunit A and C accomplish the objective of stopping migration of contaminants at the UPI site. When coupled with treatment, they also reduce the volume, mobility, and toxicity of the groundwater contaminants. Pumping
to extract contaminated groundwater would prevent migration
of contaminants from the chosen pumping area. This technol-
ogy has been demonstrated to be successful in other areas.
Aquifer rehabilitation estimations are based on hydrogeo-
logic principles and regional flow characteristics; consequently, the rate of extraction will impact the time required for rehabilitation. Analysis of water samples from monitoring wells for contaminant levels will indicate aquifer cleanup. Operation is relatively simple and is not expected to significantly affect the alternative's reliability. It is likely that during the remedial action, some components will require maintenance or replacement. No impediments to well construction are foreseen; however, safety hazards may be present during construction. These
