Soil
Exposure:
The

hvimntnent
Department
(NMED)
conducted
a
limited
shallow
soil
vapor
study
in
the
source

m
1995.
During
this
study,
small
bore

were
installed
to
depths
of
approximately
2

3
feet
below
ground
surface
(bgs).

SUMMARY
The
McGaffey
and
Main
Groundwater
Plume
site
is
located
Roswell,
Chaves
County,
New
Mexico,
88201
near
the
intersectionof
SouthMain
Street
and
McGaffey
Street
inan
area
ofmixedcommercialand
industrialuse.
Residential
areas
are
located
further
southofthesite
(Ref.
3,
pp.
1­
2).
Essentially,
thereisnoopenor
undeveloped
land
within
the
immediate
vicinity
ofthe
site
(Ref
3,
pp
.I
­2).
The
site
consists
of
perchloroethylene
(PCE)
contamination
that
has
been
identified
throughout
the
upper
aquifer
as
a
ground
water
plume
that
extends
for
approximately
one
mile
in
a
southeasterly
directioh
(Ref
5,
p.
2;
Ref
9,
p.
3).

The
boundary
of
the
ground
water
plume
is
defined
by
groimd
water
samples
kom
domestic,
monitoring,
and
municipal
supply
wells.
The
precise
extent
of
the
plume
has
not
yet
been
identified,
but
appears
to
measure
approximately
one
mile
in
length
(Ref
5
,
p
.2).
There
q
e
additional
ground
water
plumes
in
the
vicinity,
however,
only
one
ground
water
plume
has
been
consid&
ed
for
the
puiposes
of
this
documentation
record
since
it
is
not
known
at
this
time'whether
the

or

h
e
(Ref.

The
evidence.
gathered
to
date
appears
to
pqoint
a
former
dry
cleaning
facility
as
the
most
likely
source
of
the
PCE
contap&
ation
(Ref
4,
p.
6;
Ref.
9,
p:
10).

The
New
Mexico
Environment
Department
­Dl
has
been
the
primary
agency
involved
in
the
investigation
of
this
ground
water
plume.
The
NMED
discovekd
the
grouniwater
plume
in
November
B
994
following
the
investigation
of
a
leaky
underground
storage
tank
at
the
former
Pepsi
Cola
bottling
plant
(Ref
4,
p.
3;
Ref
20,
p.

Ground
water
samples
collected
from
moIiito&
g
wells
installed
as
part
of
the
investigation
conducted
at
the
former
bottling
plant
revealed
the
presence
o
f
w
concentrations
of
PCE
and
gasoline
ConstikJents.
The
highest
concentrations
ofPCE
were
observed
across
Southhkin
Street
fi­
omthe
former
bottling
plant,
in
anarea
referred
to
as
the

A
large
dry
cleaning
facility
occupied
a
buildmg
located
at
I
107
South
Main
Street
of
the
Highland
Center
(Ref
4,
p.
3).
Records
show
that
the
dry
cleaning
facility
operated
from
1956
until
1963.
The
dry
cleaning
facility
was
known
by
the
name
of
Lee
Mack
Laundry
and
Dry
Cleaners
(Lee
Mack
Cleaners)
and
ceased
operation
some
time
in
1963
(Ref.
4,
p.
3;
Ref.
20,
p.
4).
The
owner
ofthe
dry
cleaning
facility
is
currently
deceased
(Ref

(Ref.

at
concentrations
up

25,000
micrograms
per
liter
(ug/
L)
(Ref
5,
p.
1
;
Ref
6,
p.
I).
During
a
site
investigation
in
1994,
following
a
review
of
the
locations
of
the
PCE
plume
and
the
local
dry
cleaning
facilities,
it
appeared
that
the
PCE
contamination
could
be
a
result
of
PCE
discharges
to
the
sewer
line
location
in
an
alley
east
of
Main
Street
(Ref.
20,
pp.
5­
6).
Possible
leakage
ofthese
sewer
lines
could
have
conkibuted
to'the
discharge
ofthe
PCE
to
the
subsurface
ground
water
(Ref
4,
p.
3;
Ref.
6,
p.
1;
Ref
20,
p.
6).
There
are
several
dry
cleaning
facilities
(both
former
and
active)
in
the
vicinity
of
the
site
(Ref.
4,
pp.

The
NMED
has
conducted
several
soil
and
ground
water
investigations
in
the
area
(Ref
4,
p.
3).
However,
the
precise
extent
of
the
PCE
contamination
in
the
ground
water
has
not
yet
been
determined.
A
brief
s
m
a
r
y
of
the
investigations
conducted
by
the
NMED
is
provided
in
the
following
paragraphs.

In
February
1995,
the
NMED
identified
and
sampled
a
total
of
15
private
domestic
ground
water
wells
and
irrigation
wells
downgradient
of
the
dry
cleaning
facility.
These
particular
wells
were
identified
by
the
NMED
through
a
well
record
search
and
door­
to­
door
surveys
(Ref.
4,
p.
4).
The
presence
of
PCE
was
detected
in
1
1
of
the
15
ground
water
wells.
Concentrations
of
PCE
ranged
from
2.2
ug/
L
to
250
ug/
L
(Ref.
4,
p.
4).
The

MCL)
for
PCE,
as
established.
bythe
Safe
Drinking
Water
Act
(SDWA),
is
5
ug/
L
(Ref
2).

At
this
time,
the
NMED
discovered
three
residences
whose
sole
source
of
water
(including
drinking)
was
from
their
domestic
wells,
which
are
completed
in
the
shallow
alluvial
aquifer
(Ref
4,
p.
5;
Ref
5,
p.
2).
PCE
had
b,
een
detected
in
two
of
the
three
domestic
wells
at
concentrations
of
79
ug/
L
and
105
ugiL
(Ref
6,
p.
3).
The
NMED
provided
emergency
funding
to
connect
these
residences
to
the
City
of
Roswell
system
which
receives
its
water
from
a
deeper
carbonate­
rock
(artesian)
aquifer
(Ref
7,
p.
1;
Ref
8,
p.
1).

A
limited
shallow
ground
water
investigation
was
conducted
by
the
NMED
m
1995.
A
total
of
13
monitoring
wells
were
installed
during
this
investigation
at
shallow,
intermediate,
and
deep
depths
within
the
alluvial
aquifer
(Ref
4,
p.
9.
Ground
water
samples
were
collected
by
the
NMED
from
these'monitoring
wells
in
1995.
The
PCE
concentrations
rangedfrom44
ugL
to
25,000
ug/

Thehighest
concentrations
ofPCE
were
lbcated
directly

facility.
The
PCE
concentrations
ranged
from
1,000
ug/
L
t6
14,000
ug/

in
the
intermediate
wells
(Ref
4,
p.

A
limited
soil
vapor
investigationwas
also
conducted
by
the
NMED
in
1995.
The
limited
soil
vapor
investigation
consisted
of

feet
bgs.
Soil
vapor
concentrations
were
then
measured
using
a
Photo
Ionization
Detector
(PID).
The
results
of
this
investigation
revealed
a
high
concentration
of
PCE
located
immediately
south
of
the
former
Lee
Mack
Cleaners
building
(Ref
4,
p.
7
).

A
nested
soil
vapor
well
wak
later
insialled
in
October
1995
as
a
result
of
the
initial
soil
vapor
investigation.
Soil
vapor
samples
were
collected
and
analyzed
for
PCE.
Concentrations
of
PCE
ranged
from
340
ppm
VN
at
6
feet
bgs
and
increasing
to
1,600
ppm
VN
at
38
feet
bgs.
This
data
suggested
a
substantial
PCE
residual
in
the
vadose
zone
(Ref
4,
p.
6).

Due
to
the
need
to
carefiilly
monitor
changes
m
the
plume
chamcteristics,
two
ground
water
monitoring
events
were
conducted
in
the
vicinity
of
the
glume
during
1998
(Ref
9,
p.
2).
The
first
ground
water
monitoring
event
was
conducted
between
23
and
24
June
1998.
Dunng
this
event,
the
integrity
of
the
monitoring
wells
installed
in
1995
were
checked,
static
water
levels
were
measured
m
these

and
PCE

identified
were
re­
sampled
in

has
5
municipal

located
within
2

Routine

for
all

to
ensure

in
the
Safe

Act
(SDWA)
(Ref.

(Ref.

*I
.,

Based
on
the
analytical
data
accumulated
to
date,
the
concentrations
of
PCE
in
the
ground
water
appear
to
be
increasing
with
depth
(Ref
9,
p.
3).
PCE
is
considered
a
dense
non­
dgueous
phase
liquid
@NAPL)
that
is
heavier
than
water
and,
therefore,
.w
i
l
l
sink
in
yater
(Ref
6,
pp.
'2­
3).
Due
to
the
high
concentptions
ofPCE
that
have
been
detected,
it
is
probable
that
this
DNAPL
is
not
oniy
present
in
the
shallow
ground
water
but
.may
also
be
remobilizing
to
greater
depths
within
the
aquifer
(Ref
4,
p.
7).
Further,
the
confining
unit
present
between
the
alluvial
and
artesian
aqu$
ers,
the
Queen
aquitard,
,is
a
leaky,
confining
unit
thereby
providing
the
flow
path
for
the
PCE
to
reach
the
lower
aquifers
(Ref.
4,
p.

6,

This
source
consists
of
a

ground
water
and
will
be
classified
and
evaluated
as
the
HRS
source
type
"Other
(Ground
Water
Plume)"
(Ref
10,
p.

Although
the
contamination
might
be
partially
attributed
to
operations
at
the
former
Lee
Mack
Cleaners,
the
exact
source
of
the
contamination
has
not
been
identified.
Therefore,
Source
1
will
be
defined
as
a
ground
water
plume
with
an
unidentified
source.

The
boundary
of
the
ground
water
plume
is
defined
by
ground
water
samples
.collected
from
private
domestic
wells,
monitoring
wells,
and
municipal
supply
wells
meeting
observed
release
criteria.
Private
domestic
wells
used
to
define
the

HazardousSubstancesAssociatedwithaSource
Because
this
source
is
being
evaluated
and
scored
as
a
ground
water
plume
with
an
unidentified
source,
all
CERCLA­
eligible
substances
meeting
observed
release
criteria
have
been,
considered.

An
observed
release
to
an
aquifer
is
established
by
demonstrating
that
the
site
has
released
a
hazardous
substance
to
the
@er
based
either
on
direct
observation
or
chemicalanalysis
(Ref
1
,
Sec.
3.1.1).
An
observed
release
based
on
chemical
analysis
is
established
as
follows:,

If
the
background
concentration
is
not
detected
(or
is
less
than
the
detectionlimit),
an
observed
release
is
established
when
the
sample
measurement
equals
or
exceeds
the
sample
quantitation
limit
(SQL).
If
the
SQL
cannot
be
established,
the1
EPX
coitract­
required
quantitationlimit
(CRQL)
is
used
in
place
of
the
SQL
for
samples
analyzed
under
the.
EPA'Contract

(CLP).
If
sample
analysis
is
not
performed
under

detection
limit
(DL)
is
used
in
place
of
the
SQL
(Ref

Ifthe
background

The
City
of
Roswell
is
located
within
the
Pecos
River
Valley
in
southeastern
New
Mexico
(Ref.
6,
p.
2).
The
Roswell
area
has
a
semi­
arid
climate
which
averages
approximately
12
inches
of
precipitation
per
year,
most
of
which
occurs
during
summer
thunderstorms
(Ref.
18,
p.
2).
The
mean
mual
air
temperature
in
Roswell
is
approximately
59
degrees
Fahrenheit
with
mild
winters
and
hot
summers
(Ref
18,
pp.
2,5).

The
City
of
Roswell
is
located
in
the
northern
portion
of
the
Roswell
Ground
Water
Basin.
Large
volumes
of
ground
water
are
withdrawn
fiom
a
shallow
alluvial
aquifer
and
underlying
carbonate­
rock
(artesian)
aquifer
m
the
Roswell
Basin.
These
two
aquifers
form
the
Koswell
Basin
Aquifer
system
(Ref
19,
p.
10).
The
aquifer
system
undkrlies
part
of
the
Pecos
River
and
extends
though
an
area
of
about
2,200
square
miles
fiom.
north
of
Roswell
to
northwest
of
Carlsbad,
New
Mexico
(Ref.
19,
p.
10).

Ground
water
in
.@
e
Permian­
aged
carbonate
rocks
is
present
in
openings
formed
by
dissolution
of
part
of
the
limestone,
dolomite,
and
gypsuq­~
that
are
prevalent
m
the
rock.
The
most
permeable
and
extensively
utilized
aqder
in
the
carbonate
rocks
is
in
the
Roswell
Basin.
This
carbonate­
rock
aquifer
and
the
hydraulically
connected
aquifer
mthe
alhmiumhave
been
studied
extensively
because
ofthe
importance
ofthis
source
ofground
water
(Ref
19,
p.
IO).

Ground
water
that
flows
through
joints,
fractures,
or
faults
m
soluble
rocks
composed
of
carbonate
(limestone
or
dolomite)
or
evaporite
(gypsum
or
halite)
minerals
can
dissolve
the
surrounding
rock
and
enlarge
the
openings.
Over
geologic
time,
a
vast
network
of
interconnected
openings
can
develop
in
the
rock,
and
large
volumes
of
ground
water
can
flow
through
the
openings
(Ref
19,
p.
10).
When
solution­
altered
rock
becomes
sufficiently
porous,
it
may
lack
the
strength
to
support
the
weight
of
overlying
materials,
and
a
broad
gradual
collapse
of
the
rock
can
occur.
The
collapse
reduces
the
thickness
of
the
formation
and
creates
additional
h
t
u
r
e
s
that
are
subject
to
M
e
r
dissolution.
A
local,
and
sometimes
rapid,
collapse
of
the
rock
can
produce
sinkholes
and
create
a
crater­
like
appearance
known
as
karst
topography
of
the
land
surface
(Ref.
19,
p.
lo)..

Where
carbonate
rocks
are
exposed
at
land
surface,
solution
features
create
the
karst
topography.
Because
water,
enters
the
carbonate
rocks
rapidly
through
sinkholes
and
other
large
openings,
any
contaminants
present
in
the'
water
can­
rapidly
enter
an6
spread
through
the
aquifer(

Historically,
regonal
ground

However,
both
vertical
and
horizontal
flow
directions
have
been
altered
locally
by
ground
water
withdrawal
(Ref

Locally,
the
direction
of

In
1978,
approximately
95
percent
of
the
ground

was
used
for
irrigation..
In

Regionally,
ground
water
flow
in
the
Roswell
area
has
historically
been
to
the
southeast
toward
the
Pecos
River.
Locally,
'ground

the
vicinity
of
the
site
is
to
the
southeast
(Ref.
4,
p.

Ref.
20,
p.
5).
Thus,
ground
water
wells
representative
of
background
conditions
for
the
area
were
chosen
based
on
their
location
beirig
upgradient
or
cross­

of
the

(Ref.

and
analyzed
in
a

manner
(i.

collected

Further,
all
of

were
collected
by
the

were
analyzed
by
the

(Ref

PCE
is
a
manufactured

solvent
and
does
not
occur

(Ref

PLING
EVENT
In
1995,
the
NMED
identified
and
sampled
a
tog1
of
15'
domestic
and
higation
wells
located
downgradient
of
the
former
dry
cleaning
facility­
These
particular
wells
were
identified
by
the
NMED
through
a
well
record
search
and
door­
to­
door
surveys
(Ref.
4,
p.
4).
Ground
water
samples
were
collected
between
January
1995
and
June
1995
(Ref.
11,
pp.
6­
59).

At
this
time,
the
NMED
discovered
three
residences
whose
sole
source
of
water,
including
drinking,
was
fi­
om
their
domestic
wells.
Concentrations
of
PCE
m
two
of
the
three
wells
exceeded
the
MCL
for
PCE.
These
domestic
wells
were
completed
within
the
shallow
alluvial
aquifer
(Ref
4,
p
.5).
,The
NMED
provided
emergency
hding
to
close
these
wells
and
connect
these
residences
to
the,
City
,of
Roswell
municipal
supply
system
(Ref
5,.
p.
2;
Ref.
8,
p.
1).
The
three
domestic
wells
whichwere
closed
included
the
following
wells:.
2305
S.
Cahoon,
1706
S.
Atkinson,
and
1
801
S.
Atkinson.
It
shoddbe
noted
that
wen
though
the
wells
wek'closed
for
drinking
water
supplies,
the
wells
were
not
plugged
in
'order
to
continue
the
collection
of
samples
h
m
these
weils
in
an
effort
to
'monitor
the
characteristics
of
the
PCE
contamination.

A
limited
ground
water
investigation
was
conducted
m
1995
by
the
NMED.
The
ground
water
investigation
focused
on
the
area
surrounding
the
former
dry
cleaning
facility.
A
total
of
13
monitoring
wells
were
installed
during
this
investigation:
ED95­
1
through
ED95­
13.
Shallow,
intermediate,
and
deep
ground
water
monitoring
wells
were
installed
(Ref
4,
pp.
6­
7).
Shallow
ground
water
wells
are
classified
as
those
wells
completed
between
40
feet
and
60
feet
bgs
and
screened
approximately
5
'feet
to
10

Intermediate
wells
are
classified
as
$hose
wells
completed
between
70
feet
and
95
feet
bgs
and
screened
approximately
20
feet

Further,
the
carbonate­,

and
the
hydraulically
comiected

together
comprise
the

that
extends
from

(Ref

The
precise

ofthe

but
appears
to
measure
approximately
one
mile
in
length.
As
such,
only
one
ground

has
been
considered
for
the
purposes
of
this
documentation
record
since
the
contaminants
identified
wih

There
are
at

three
other
ground

plumes
in

it
is
not
known
at
this
time
if
these
plumes
are
commingled
(Ref.

The
NMED
has
been
the
primary
agency
involved
in
the
investigation
of
this
groid
water
plume.
The
NMED
discovered
the
ground

inNovember
1
994
following
the
investigation
of
a
leaky

tank
at

of
the
investigation
conducted
at
the
former

The

The
source
of
the
ground
water
contamination
is
unidentified
However,
there
are
several
potential
sources
of
the
contamination
m
the
area.
Previous
studies
have
indicated
that
operations
at
the
former
Lee
Mack
dry
cleaning
fxility
may
have
contxibuted
to
the
ground
water
plume,
'but
no
specific
sources
at
the
former
facility
property
have
been
identified
(Ref
4,
p.
3;,
Ref
5
,
p.
1).
Extremely
high
concentrations
of
PCE
have
been
detected
in
a
monitoring
well
located
approximately
40
feet
southeast
of
the
former
dry
cleaning
facility
suggest
that
past
disposal
practices
at
the
dry
cleaning
facility
may
have
including
discharging
waste
PCE
behind
the
facility
(Ref.
6,
p.
1).
PCE
has
been
detected
in
this
well
at
concentrations
up
to
25,000
micrograms
per
liter
(ugiL)
(Ref
5,
p.
1;
Ref.
6,
p.
1).
During
a
site
investigation
in
1994,
following
a
review
of
the
locations
of
the
PCE
plume
and
the
local
dry
cleaning
facilities,
it
appeared
that
the
PCE
contamination
could
be
a
result
of
PCE
discharges
to
the
sewer
line
locationman
alley
east
o
f
W
Street
(Ref.
20,
pp.
5­
6).
Possible
leakage
of
these
sewer
lines
could
have
contributed
to
the
discharge
ofthe
PCE
to
the
subsurface
ground
water
(Ref
4,
p.
3;
Ref
6,
p.
1;
Ref.

In

there
are
at

six
other

the

WASTECHARACTERISTICS
The

is
evaluated
based
on
two
factors:
toxicity/
mobility
and
hazardous
waste
quantity.
Only
those
hazardous
substances
that
are
mailable
to
the
ground
water
migration
pathway
canbe
considered
(Ref,

Sec.
3.2).
PCE
is
the
only
hazardous
substance
that
is
considered
available
to
the
ground

pathway
for
this
site.
A
