1.0 SUMMARY<br />

Vicinity Property No. CA-401<br />

Remedial action was completed on Vicinity Property CA-401. A total <strong>of</strong><br />

752.6 cubic yards <strong>of</strong> material was removed from the property.<br />

Radiological surveys conducted following removal <strong>of</strong> contaminated<br />

materials, but before property restoration, demonstrate that the property<br />

has been cleaned up to the EPA standards. This completion report<br />

recommends certification <strong>of</strong> the property as having been cleaned up to<br />

below the EPA standards.<br />

2.0 OPERATIONS SUMMARY<br />

2.1 Remedial Action Plan<br />

The basic remedial action on this property was performed according to<br />

the Remedial Action Plan. A total <strong>of</strong> 752.6 cubic yards <strong>of</strong> material<br />

was removed from the property, compared with an estimated excavation<br />

<strong>of</strong> 280 cubic yards.<br />

2.2 Previously Unidentified Contamination<br />

Areas B, C, N, and N were larger than estimated, and Area N required<br />

excavation to greater depths than estimated.<br />

2.3 Unanticipated Items During Remedial Action<br />

No unanticipated items occurred during remedial action on this<br />

property.<br />

3.0 VERIFICATION SUMMARY<br />

3.1 Radiological Survey Data<br />

All survey data were acquired according to approved procedures.<br />

3.1.1 Pro-Remedial Action Survey<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> the survey defining the contaminated area<br />

requiring remedial action are presented on Drawing<br />

CA-401-015.<br />

3.1.2 Pro-Restoration Survey<br />

Exterior:<br />

After removal <strong>of</strong> contamination, and prior to backfilling, a<br />

soil sample survey was conducted in the excavated areas.<br />

Soil samples were aliquoted from each <strong>of</strong> the 25<br />

verification grids and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy with<br />

the opposed crystal system in accordance with Health<br />

Physics Procedure 015. The radium concentrations in these<br />

soil samples ranged from less than 1.3 to 5.9 pCi/g, as<br />

described in Table 3.1.<br />

5345F -4-<br />

^ .: . 4 .- ^. ., „ , __ ^


Vicinity Property No. CA-401<br />

Outdoor gamma readings in the excavated area ranged from 11<br />

to 13 micro R/hr. The readings are given in Table 3.2.<br />

Drawings CA-401-020, CA-401-021, and CA-401-022 show the<br />

actual areas <strong>of</strong> excavation.<br />

These results confirm that exterior contamination has been<br />

reduced to levels below the EPA standards for radium in<br />

soil. Background for the Canonsburg site is 8 to 11 micro<br />

R/hr and 1.2 pCi/g.<br />

Interior:<br />

Remedial action was performed indoors only in Building 14A<br />

on this property. A gamma scan in the excavated regions<br />

showed gamma levels up to a maximum <strong>of</strong> 12 micro R/hr, which<br />

is less than the EPA standard <strong>of</strong> background plus 20 micro<br />

R/hr. These results are described in Table 3.2.<br />

"Grab" radon daughter concentration (RDC) measurements were<br />

made in 4 locations, as described in Table 3.4. These<br />

measurements were made under standard conditions as<br />

described in the VPMIM. Measurements were not made in<br />

Building 14A as close-up conditions cannot be met.<br />

3.2 Recommendation for Certification<br />

3.2.1 Exterior:<br />

3.2.2 Interior:<br />

Fourteen areas <strong>of</strong> contamination were identified and<br />

removed. Soil samples after excavation and prior to<br />

backfilling indicate that the limits <strong>of</strong> 5 pCi/g in the<br />

surface 15 cm. and 15 pCi/g in any 15 cm. layer below the<br />

surface are not exceeded. Based on this information, we<br />

recommend that the exterior <strong>of</strong> this vicinity property be<br />

certified to be in compliance with EPA standards for the<br />

UNTRA Project.<br />

Remedial action was conducted in the structure. All gammu<br />

readings taken in the structure following remedial action<br />

were less than the 20 micro R/hr above background limit.<br />

Radon daughter concentrations are below the 0.01 WL limit<br />

for grab samples. Based on this information, we reconmend<br />

that the interior be certified to be within the limits <strong>of</strong><br />

the EPA standards for the UNTRA Project.<br />

The enclosed report <strong>of</strong> the V.C.A. milling practice and<br />

development for carnotite ores at Naturita and Mexican Hat<br />

has been written from the V.C.A. report submitted to your<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice, from personal notes and also personal observations<br />

during my term <strong>of</strong> service with the V.C.A.<br />

I have endeavored to present an unbiased report and to present<br />

the data and observation in the best light possible.<br />

M.any <strong>of</strong> the troubles and problems incidental to test work<br />

have not been mentioned and as nearly as possible the fiscal<br />

results <strong>of</strong> the V.C.A. work and developments presented.<br />

I have drawn freely upon the technical reports you left in<br />

Grand Junction on scrubbers and their use in comparison <strong>of</strong><br />

the ¥teirni scrubber with other known scrubbers.<br />

It is my opinion that if the investment atiounts mentioned<br />

by V.C.A. as being spent on tie concentration process were<br />

compared with those stated in their concentration report, it<br />

Aould be found that a large proportion <strong>of</strong> the EifiOunt was<br />

invested in the form <strong>of</strong> rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> their salt roast-<br />

*.G soda leach vanadium plant at Naturita which is being operated<br />

specifically for raw ore treatment.<br />

SUMARiY OF MILIJNG OPkiATIONS rLY V.U.A.<br />

The Vanadium Corporation <strong>of</strong> America conduc ted sandl slilbe concentration tests<br />

at the Naturita plant fronm July, 1946 to May, 1947. The essentials <strong>of</strong> the<br />

method used were crushing carnotite ores, grindinrt the ore in pebble mills<br />

or rod mills, scrubbing the ground ores in an attrition machine developed by<br />

Mr. A.J. Weinig, separating the sands and slimes by conventiontal cassi' fiCa.tioln<br />

methods, settling the slimes and filtering the slimes. The above method used<br />

by the V.C.A. is commonly known as the sand-slime concentration <strong>of</strong> carnotite<br />

ores .<br />

The Vanadium Corporation <strong>of</strong> America constructed and used two concentration<br />

plants usini the sand-sli.me concentration method. The metallurtjical results<br />

from both <strong>of</strong> these plants did not achieve the recoveries end ratios <strong>of</strong> concentration<br />

indicated by test work and pilot plant work.<br />

The concentrator at Naturita treated both carnotite ores and roscoelite ores,<br />

and the mletallurgical results were a 3:1 ratio <strong>of</strong> concentration with a 75%<br />

recovery <strong>of</strong> the vanadium. This concentrator was dismantled and the parts<br />

sh.ipped to Mexican ilat, Utah where a similar concentrator was erected. The<br />

plant at .,!exican ib.t treated ores from tht% Navajo Reservation. The carnotite<br />

in this region occurs in the shinarump conglomerates which for efficient concenltyrtion<br />

require a ntodified treatnrent from t}hat cf the method used on the<br />

uniforrm size sai.nd grair ores treated at Naturita. However, tU:e plant at ?,lexican<br />

Hat is virtually a duplication <strong>of</strong> the Naturita plant. The mietallurgical results<br />

frowm t.,e fiexican |iit mill are approximately 60' recovery <strong>of</strong> tr.e metal values at<br />

a 7:1 ratio <strong>of</strong> concentration. The work indicated an 80% recovery with a 10:1<br />

ratio <strong>of</strong> concentration.<br />

The scrubber as developed by the Vanadium Corporetion was not used in any continuous<br />

oper~ating mill. It was found in the plant scale testing to be restricted<br />

in its use, anad the excessive wear on parts was not, satisfactorily solved.<br />

REPORT OF COiCEN'TiATION METli;l: f FOh CAR1OilIir lil) hO. (COELITE<br />

ORES USED LY V.I ...<br />

The V.C.A. Corporation conducted laboratiory scale sand slime ep; ration tests<br />

at Bridgeville, Pennsylvania fron April, 1944 to December, 1945. The concentration<br />

tests consisted <strong>of</strong> carnotite ore scrubbing by continuous circui ation<br />

through centrifugal laboratory pumps. Also, during this period, laborat 0or<br />

roesting and lesching tests were conducted on the slime concentraticns to uetermine<br />

their amenability to the salt roast and soda ash leach process. The<br />

laboratory results obtained encouraged the V.C.A Corporation to conduct experimental<br />

work for the development <strong>of</strong> a scrubber suitable for plant operation.<br />

This phase was carried on at the experimental plant <strong>of</strong> the Colorado School <strong>of</strong><br />

Mines at Golden, Colorado under the direction <strong>of</strong>' Messrs. Weinig and Sproul from<br />

April, 194A to January, 1945. The result <strong>of</strong> this work w.s the developement <strong>of</strong><br />

the Weinig scr.bber.<br />

Three scrubbers, six inches in diameter, twelve inches in diameter, and twentyfour<br />

inches in diameter were developed. The scrubber that was developed consisted<br />

<strong>of</strong> two rubber discs, one <strong>of</strong> which is stationary, and the second fastened<br />

to a rotating shaft. The operation <strong>of</strong> the machine depenes upon the admission<br />

<strong>of</strong> an ore ;rrlp through the center <strong>of</strong> the stationary rubber disc. The ore pulp<br />

is then forced beetv.een the two rubber discs by centrifugal force and Pmping<br />

action. The scrubber operates with many <strong>of</strong> the characteristics <strong>of</strong> a centrifugal<br />

p1ll p ·<br />

Two types <strong>of</strong>' macilines were developed, a horizontal scrubber and a vertical scrubber.<br />

both machines proved to behave metallurgically in a similar manner and<br />

with like poser consumption (30-22 H.P. Hr. per ton). Difficulty ;as experienced<br />

in obtaining rubber scrubbing plates having a long life.<br />

Minor acterations were made to the VCA Vansdium Plant at Niturita, Colorado, and<br />

pabble mill reaainned us the basic grinding unit while five scrubbing devices<br />

were tried. They were:<br />

(1) Horizontal scrubber with sleeve bearings.<br />

(2) Horizontal scrubber with ball bearings.<br />

(3) Vertical Scrubber.<br />

(4) Rubber covered rod mill.<br />

(5) Wilfley pump as a scrubber.<br />

The pilot plant work deternlned that scrubbing efficiency is dependent upon the<br />

ore grind, coarser grinds requiring excessive amounts <strong>of</strong> scrubbing for re:asonable<br />

recoveries. It was determined that the Wilfley pump was an efficient scrubber,<br />

and that it was possible to achieve 33% recovery by pebble mill grinding with the<br />

use <strong>of</strong> Wilfley pumps as scrubbers.<br />

The rubber covered rod mill was used for a scrubbing unit and indicated tnat<br />

82/% recovery <strong>of</strong> vanadium could be achieved, and that in view <strong>of</strong> the performance<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Weinig scrubber that an additional increment <strong>of</strong> vanadium recovery might<br />

be obtained by restricted application <strong>of</strong> a single Weinig unit to the tailing <strong>of</strong><br />

a rubber rod nill.<br />

The use <strong>of</strong> pine poles as a grinding media yielded negative results. A comparison<br />

ta.ble <strong>of</strong> the results' obtained on pilot plant concentration testing is included.<br />

Througifnot all <strong>of</strong> thie test work, the V.C.A. report indicates insufficient classifier<br />

capacity.<br />

It is interesting to note that with the methods; as usei. tiii- ratio as ue t :.aterially<br />

improved over the ratios <strong>of</strong> concentration reported by Siegfrieda lisler<br />

in 1912. The average extraction for all batch pilot plant tests was 79.3Ah <strong>of</strong><br />

the vanadium, and 8A.4.1% <strong>of</strong> the U30. The Standard Cne:.iical Coipany reports a<br />

recovery <strong>of</strong> 88.6% <strong>of</strong> the U308 for the period <strong>of</strong> 1)19 throagh 19l2.<br />

Continuous milling operations were started in January, 1947, and continued until<br />

April 30, 1947. For this continuous milling operation, the Weinig scrubber was<br />

not used. The flow sheet consisted <strong>of</strong> crushing the ore, grinding in a 3 x b rod<br />

mill charged with steel rods, and classifying with a drag classifier and Akins<br />

classifier in series, the classifier overflow was further classified in a 9'<br />

Callow cone. During the period <strong>of</strong> continuous operation, the avwage grade <strong>of</strong><br />

concentrate was s approximately 5'% V2O, and the average recovery was i.,proxir:tely<br />

75; V2 0 5 at a concentration ratio o 3 to 1. The mill was ouer.ted at a feed<br />

rate <strong>of</strong> thirty-five tons per day. Both carnotite and roscoelite ores were concentrated.<br />

The slime concentrates were laundered to settling ponds,. After the<br />

mill tng prorTanm h% d been completed, the concentrates were allowed to settle and<br />

dry,, ,nd wer, thien treated in the operating vanadium mill. It was found th-.t the<br />

sodluza cnrl-ionate added to the grind circuit improved tile recovery <strong>of</strong> vanadiutn.<br />

It . ns thoullt t tthis hhlt was due to the deflocculation <strong>of</strong>' the slimes drin.- classl<br />

lcti ion. Tne 7 ;tinlnard Chemical Conpany, in 1919 deter.lined ;Jalso that the addition<br />

<strong>of</strong> soda ash to a slime-sand concentration circuit was beneficial. No data<br />

was gatihered daring the V.C.A. operations as to the affect <strong>of</strong> mill water t ;nperaturRs<br />

!1'lon recoverj. efficiencies.<br />

lTe "ilPVl::/ puirps were included in the contiguous concentration circuit as scrubrnern,<br />

and are shown on the attached flow sheet. Each pump in the circuit indicated<br />

the P.rfect <strong>of</strong> decreasing the vanadliuna value in the a.zids by 0.1l V 20 5 8pproachin(r<br />

Laboratory testing <strong>of</strong> the Mexican Hat ores indicated 75% to 80o, recoveries <strong>of</strong><br />

the vanadium and uranium in a slime concentrate, however, due to poor classification<br />

and poorly controlled grinding, the Mexica-n Hat concentra:tor <strong>of</strong> tne V.C.A.<br />

has achieved recoveries in the order <strong>of</strong> 60% <strong>of</strong> the values. This concentrator was.<br />

ooerated at q rate <strong>of</strong> forty-five tons <strong>of</strong> ore feed per day, tie i;rinding meia was<br />

2' diameter steel rods. The laboratory work indicated the proper media to be<br />

pebbles or smnall steel balls. The two continuous concentration plaints evolved<br />

from all plant testing work at Naturita consisted in tne final form <strong>of</strong> c(rusililg<br />

the ore, grinding the crushed ore in an open circuit mill with steel rods, Wad<br />

classifying tahe ground ore with drag classifiers. No scrubbers other than<br />

Rifl.ev jlumr. Were used in either the Naturita continuous plant or the :Aexican<br />

Hat plaint. The final flow sheets <strong>of</strong> these two concentrators taerefore does not<br />

differ materially from the nethods used in concentration units oper!iting in this<br />

same field during the early 1900's.<br />

A study was made <strong>of</strong> the detailed co-ts for the V.C.A. research<br />

program on concentration methods during my visit to the V.C.A.<br />

<strong>of</strong>fices in New York May 17, 1948.<br />

The costs presented by the V.C.A. w.ere grouped as laboratory<br />

research work, and experimental work at Golden, Colorado leading<br />

tc tie development <strong>of</strong> the WeiniE scrubber, batch testing at<br />

Naturita, operation <strong>of</strong> the continuous concentrator at Naturite,<br />

and operation <strong>of</strong> the Mexican Hat concentrator. The grouping <strong>of</strong><br />

tlhe costs in this manner shows the amount spent on each phase <strong>of</strong><br />

the work, and affords a clearer understanding than the summbry table<br />

slhovn in Mr. Bransome's letter <strong>of</strong> March 19, 1948.<br />

I hrfveyrranged some <strong>of</strong> the costs, especially overhead expenses, to<br />

conforr with the different phases <strong>of</strong> their research program. This was<br />

done in accordance with the atteched letter received f'romn r. LrLnd<br />

the V.C.A. comptroller. At the time <strong>of</strong> the visit to the hew York <strong>of</strong>fices<br />

<strong>of</strong> V.C.A., I did not ask for a further trezc.dcwn <strong>of</strong> costs otner<br />

t1isn the grouping as shown on the attached report, out it is my Delief<br />

that this method <strong>of</strong> showirn the costs is sufficiently eccurate<br />

to esteblish the values <strong>of</strong> the work they have done on concentration.<br />

While visiting the AEC <strong>of</strong>fices in New York, qr. Yerritt advised me<br />

that similar negotiations hed been conducted with the V.C.A. by the<br />

New York Proup some time previously, end that the New Ycrk Prw Msterials<br />

Subject: RI;SEAFPCH AND OPERATING COSTS OF V.C.A. CONCETRATION PRO(;AM<br />

Symbol: P:MGM<br />

A study was made <strong>of</strong> the detailed coets for the V.C.A. research<br />

program on concentration methods during my visit to the V.C.A.<br />

<strong>of</strong>fices in New York May 17, 1948.<br />

The costs presented by the V.C.A. t.ere grouped as laboratory<br />

research work, and experimental work at Golden, Colorado leading<br />

tc tie development <strong>of</strong> the Weinig scrubber, batch testing at<br />

Naturita, operation <strong>of</strong> the continuous concentrator at Naturite,<br />

and operation <strong>of</strong> the Mexican Hat concentrator. The grouping <strong>of</strong><br />

the costs in this manner shows the amount spent on each phase <strong>of</strong><br />

the work, and affords a clearer understanding than the summa.ry table<br />

shoin in Mr. Bransome's letter <strong>of</strong> March 19, 1948.<br />

I havezrrranged some <strong>of</strong> the costs, especially overhead expenses, to<br />

conform with the different phases <strong>of</strong> their research program. This was<br />

done in accordance with the attached letter received from Mr. Brand<br />

the V.C.A. comptroller. At the time <strong>of</strong> the visit to the New York <strong>of</strong>fices<br />

<strong>of</strong> V.C.A., I did not ask for a further kreakdcwn <strong>of</strong> costs other<br />

tisn the grouping as shown on the attached report, but it is my belief<br />

that this method <strong>of</strong> showing the costs is sufficiently accurate<br />

to establish the values <strong>of</strong> the work they have done on concentration.<br />

While visiting the AEC <strong>of</strong>fices in New York, qr. Merritt advised me<br />

that similar negotiations hed been conducted with the V.C.A. by the<br />

New York group some time previously, and that the Niew York Raw Materials<br />

group had rejected the V.C.A. proposal <strong>of</strong> the sale <strong>of</strong> their<br />

concertration process.<br />

After compiling the breakdovn <strong>of</strong> the V.C.A. cost;, it is mry opinion<br />

that the only true research work they coudlctt'd w'ias ta.t <strong>of</strong> the lti:toratory<br />

at Bridgeville the eyperimental work at Go].enr, Col:rlido,<br />

and the batcF sts at Natur:ta. The totel cost <strong>of</strong> tni: iWork vias approximately<br />

' The modern accepted laboratory research practice to develop the lowest cost<br />

and most efficient method <strong>of</strong> mineral dressing is, first, to attempt ccnce:tration<br />

<strong>of</strong> the ore minerals, with subsequent treatment <strong>of</strong> the concentrated<br />

product. It is only after thorough research efforts <strong>of</strong> concentration have<br />

failed thAt treatment <strong>of</strong> the total ore is considered. The benefits cf<br />

conceritra.tio.n are several-fold and include lower plant initial capital in-<br />

ores ehocild receive the same consideration that is normally awarded mineral<br />

dressir.q- reseorch efforts directed toward the concentration <strong>of</strong> any type <strong>of</strong> ore.<br />

Cotnceltrast.ion <strong>of</strong> the Colorado Plateau ores is not new, as an early stidy <strong>of</strong> the<br />

- occ-urewc <strong>of</strong> the uranium and vanadium minerals disclosed the fact that concelntration<br />

c.-,uld be obtained by grinding the sandstone to individual grai. size to<br />

Fon 1 919 to 1923, approximately 22,000 tons <strong>of</strong> ore were xiternittently<br />

,l '3.ed in a 35 ton per day plant by wet grinding and classification. It is<br />

r orto. that initial recovery <strong>of</strong> the uranium was approximately 78o, with a<br />

In recent years the Vanadium Corporation <strong>of</strong> America attempted devcloi-mnt<br />

<strong>of</strong> a new rethod <strong>of</strong> mechanical colcentration by the use <strong>of</strong> s bcubcors on he<br />

ground ore pulp. This conpany should be awarded credit for revivirg interest<br />

in concentration <strong>of</strong> these ores.<br />

Mr. Bransome telephoned this <strong>of</strong>fice from New York and said he was willing to<br />

send us a complete report covering all phases <strong>of</strong> investigations and the research<br />

work his company had performed. It was definitely stated that we could<br />

not accept this report if in so doing we were committed in any way. Mr.<br />

Bra.some. assured us that his company was completely covered through patent applications<br />

and that the Commission assumed no obligations through receiving<br />

this report.<br />

The report sent by Mr. Bransome was accompanied by a letter showing an expenditure,<br />

related to the development <strong>of</strong> the VCA concentration project, <strong>of</strong><br />

:186,661.94. This report was thoroughly reviewed by both <strong>of</strong> us and the New<br />

Y:ork <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> the Raw Materials Division. An investigation was made <strong>of</strong> available<br />

literature pertaining to this subject. The concentration work done by<br />

- V A can be broken down into the following divisions:<br />

1. Research work at the.Bridgeville, Pennsylvania laboratory. (July 1944<br />

through September 1946.)<br />

2. Research work at the Colorado School <strong>of</strong> Mines Experimental Station,<br />

under the direction <strong>of</strong> Mr. Arthur Weinig. (July 1944 through January<br />

1948.)<br />

3. Batch testing <strong>of</strong> concentration methods at Naturita to January 1947.<br />

A review <strong>of</strong> the work done under the VCA concentration i .ject quite definitely<br />

indicated that the work following batch testing at Naturita was not related<br />

to research work for the development <strong>of</strong> a concentration process. This phese<br />

<strong>of</strong> the work was not well directed and is not in the channel in which v;e are<br />

done. The actual cost for this work was as follows:

It is proposed that VCA be paid the sum <strong>of</strong> $50,000 which is less than 50% <strong>of</strong><br />

the actu?. cost <strong>of</strong> this work. Approximately $27,000.00 was spent nt the<br />

Colorado School <strong>of</strong> Mines under the supervision <strong>of</strong> Arthur Weinig. It i3 believed<br />

tl}t this phrase <strong>of</strong> work done for VCA was capably performed and probably at a<br />

lower cost thsn the AEC could have had it done.<br />

The following proposition was discussed with Mr. Bransome in New York on June<br />

3, 1948: In consideration <strong>of</strong> the sum <strong>of</strong> $50,000.00 paid by the AEC to VCA for<br />

the work performed, VCA will sell to AEC certain patent rights, metallurgical<br />

resul.ts, "khow-how", and all other data pertaining to the subject <strong>of</strong> mechanical<br />

concentration <strong>of</strong> carnotite and roscoelite ores.<br />

It was rather difficult to appraise the money value <strong>of</strong> the VCA work, as it was<br />

- . indicated more eaphasis should have been put on attrition grinding rather than<br />

on scrubbing; however, the Colorado School <strong>of</strong> Mine;,. atte-npte to develop a<br />

scrubber for theoe ores, and as 'r. Weinig is an outstrand',g - lemell.r;.>al<br />

engineer and has been a practicing metallurgist in the State <strong>of</strong> Co ,.oro for<br />

over 40 years, he undoubtelly selected this method <strong>of</strong> concentr.tion as: prer-:)ting<br />

a more favorable solution than attrition grinding.<br />

The <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>of</strong> the VCA is liberal and we believe the AEC will be cuomen.atted for<br />

this expenditure by obtaining the VGA concentration report alorng iithl t.he<br />

"know-how" <strong>of</strong> its technical staff and through discussion with M!r. '1eini .<br />

The proposed expenditure <strong>of</strong> t50,00J0.00 appears to be justified by the obtainng<br />

<strong>of</strong> a substauitial portion <strong>of</strong> a carnotite ore dressing program in +he fotrm <strong>of</strong><br />

complete-l research work by a reput.able company. The value <strong>of</strong> parents ncw hr'ld<br />

or possibly granted to VCA do not appear as important to the A-FC as the "knowhow"<br />

and results obtained from their concentration projeet.

PLANT, BRIDGEVILLE, PA<br />

This site conducted work for the Manhattan Engineer District in the<br />

early to mid 1940's to support processing being performed at several sites<br />

covered under the uranium mill tailings Remedial Action program. These<br />

include Canonsburg, Naturita and Mexican Hat.<br />

The facility was utilized to grind pitchblende ore being processed at<br />

Canonsburg. The material was trucked under guard from Vitro Canonsburg to<br />

the Bridgeville plant, was ground and generally returned the same day.<br />

Records suggest in at least one instance the material was stored at<br />

Bridegville over night. The material was highgrade pitchblende (greater<br />

than 50% U308 and the uranium was in equilibrium with its daughters).<br />

It was processed in quantities <strong>of</strong> hundreds <strong>of</strong> tons at a time. The period<br />

<strong>of</strong> time the processing was performed is not known.<br />

The site also conducted developed research for the VCA processing<br />

plants at Naturita and Mexican Hat. The work was paid for by the<br />

government and was conducted between July 1944 and September 1946. The<br />

work included lao and benchscale separation tests and roasting and<br />

leaching testing on western ores from the Naturita or Mexican Hat area.<br />

Atomic <strong>Energy</strong> Commission Memoranda from the period contain detailed<br />

discussions concerning the work and its relation to the western milling<br />

operations and whether or not the Commission should pay for the research.<br />

They ultimately decided that the research was in direct support <strong>of</strong><br />

Commission projects and paid for the research.<br />

Site Location<br />

The site was located near Bridgeville, Pennsylvania <strong>of</strong>f PA Route 50<br />

near Interstate 79 about 6 miles southwest <strong>of</strong> Pittsburgh. It is located<br />

in Collier Township at Kirwan Heights. The plant is now owned by Cyclops<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Location Number: CA00401<br />

An inclusion radiological survey <strong>of</strong> location CA00401 was conducted on September<br />

27, 1985 by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This property, located<br />

at Mayer Street, is classified as a commercial manufacturer. This survey<br />

was conducted using methods as defined in the Vicinity Properties<br />

Management and Implementation Manual, UMTRA-DOE/AL-050601 (June 1984) and<br />

the RASA UMTRA Procedures Manual (June 1985). General location information<br />

is provided in Table 1, radiological survey results are given in Table 2<br />

and 3, and supporting graphics are provided in Figure 1. Different views<br />

<strong>of</strong> the property are provided in Figures 2 through 10. All measurements are<br />

gross readings; background has not been subtracted.<br />

The conversion formula used is y = x/CF, where 'y' equals the exposure rate<br />

in iR/h, 'x' equals the scintillometer measurements in kcpm, and 'CF'<br />

equals the conversions factor determined in the field through a direct<br />

correlation between PIC and scintillometer measurements in kcpm/CiR/h. For<br />

this property, CF equals 2.<br />

SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS<br />

The nineteen contaminated regions found outdoors in scattered areas about<br />

the vanadium parcel <strong>of</strong> the property as shown on Figure 1, encompass -3600<br />

m2. The high outdoor gamma (300 pR/h) was measured in a 965 m 2 area <strong>of</strong> the<br />

*large parking lot northwest <strong>of</strong> the ore storage and shipping building<br />

(building #2), Region L. Regions C, D, L, and P, as noted on Figure 1,<br />

were found to exceed the outdoor gamma inclusion criterion <strong>of</strong> background<br />

plus 25 pR/h when averaged over an area <strong>of</strong> 100 m2. Many <strong>of</strong> these regions<br />

had scattered contaminated material within its boundaries. Elevated gamma<br />

levels were also spotty in Regions A, K, and O, as noted on Figure 1.<br />

Elevated gamma levels ranging from 20 to 30 pIR/h, found northwest <strong>of</strong> building<br />

#14A, are the result <strong>of</strong> natural radiation inherent in phosphate residues.<br />

In addition, gamma levels ranging from 16 to 30 pR/h, found in a<br />

slag dump west <strong>of</strong> Region D, are due to scattered pieces <strong>of</strong> ore in the pile;<br />

whereas, gamma levels south <strong>of</strong> Region P (14-18 pR/h), are the result <strong>of</strong><br />

natural radiation inherent in gravel and rock material. Three point<br />

sources scanning 100, 80, and 70 pR/h, were found north <strong>of</strong> Region 0, east<br />

<strong>of</strong> Region 0, and north <strong>of</strong> Region M, respectively, as denoted by an asterisk<br />

on Figure 1. Indoor gamma scans were not conducted since outdoor contamination<br />

deemed the property includable.<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> the radionuclide analyses demonstrate that the net areaweighted<br />

average concentration <strong>of</strong> 2 2 6 Ra in the surface soil at locations<br />

S15 (Region Q) and S16 (Region M), are 25 and 5 pCi/g, respectively.<br />

Furthermore, if the mean 2 26Ra concentrations are calculated from surface<br />

samples taken in Regions A, D, L, and P, their respective net area-weighted<br />

averages are 20, 7.4, 54, and 14 pCi/g. These values exceed the surface<br />

soil inclusion criterion <strong>of</strong> 5 pCi/g above background when averaged over an<br />

area <strong>of</strong> 100 m2.<br />

Based on these screening results, it is recommended that location CA00401<br />

be included for further consideration by the UMTRA Project.

DETERMINATION OF AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT REMEMDIAL ACTION<br />

BRIDGEVILLE (VCA) SITE - BRIDGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this letter is to provide an interim response to<br />

your request for Aerospace review <strong>of</strong> the Report <strong>of</strong> Inclusion Survey<br />

at Location CA0401, Mayer Street, Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, dated<br />

December 1985; and to examine the considerations necessary to determine<br />

if the <strong>Department</strong> has authority to conduct remedial action at<br />

the site <strong>of</strong> the former Vanadium Corporation <strong>of</strong> America (VCA) Bridgeville<br />

laboratory facility.<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> the Inclusion Survey referenced above are sufficient<br />

to indicate that the levels <strong>of</strong> residual radioactive contamination on the<br />

site exceed the criteria requiring remedial action under both FUSRAP and<br />

UMTRAP. The question that must be resolved concerns the <strong>Department</strong>'s<br />

authority to conduct remedial action at this site.<br />

There are three scenarios that warrant consideration in determining<br />

if the <strong>Department</strong> has authority to conduct remedial action at the site.<br />

The first concerns work done by VCA at their Bridgeville facility in<br />

support <strong>of</strong> operations at the Canonsburg Site. <strong>Document</strong>s dated in October<br />

and November 1943 indicate that African ore was ground at the Bridgeville<br />

facility in preparation for processing at the Vitro plant in Canonsburg,<br />

PA. The ore, packaged in drums, was delivered from storage to the<br />

Bridgeville facility by truck, was ground and repackaged in the same<br />

drums. The drums were covered with burlap and delivered to the plant<br />

in Canonsburg the same day that the ore was ground. These actions were<br />

apparently carried out under guard and witnessed by several parties.<br />

Therefore, the propensity for loss <strong>of</strong> significant quantities <strong>of</strong> this<br />

material seems remote. Furthermore, it is reasonable to assume that any<br />

residual radioactive material from the processing <strong>of</strong> this high grade ore<br />

would be in the form <strong>of</strong> surface contamination which, over the years, may<br />

have mixed with soil, but it would not be expected to be in the form <strong>of</strong><br />

a tailings pile. Approximately five lots <strong>of</strong> ore were known to have been<br />

ground. The quantity <strong>of</strong> ore ground is unknown except for indications<br />

that there were 45 drums in Lot 1.<br />

An Affirmative Action Employer


Mr. L.C. Brazley 2 20 March 1986<br />

The second indication <strong>of</strong> involvement between AEC and the work done<br />

at the Bridgeville facility is a research project carried out by VCA<br />

to improve methods for the mechanical concentration <strong>of</strong> carnotite ores.<br />

Although information is limited, it is apparent that the AEC was interested<br />

in obtaining the "know-how" <strong>of</strong> the VCA technical staff and the<br />

results from their concentration project so that the methods and data<br />

could be used as a starting point for an AEC carnotite ore dressing or<br />

concentration research program.<br />

Research work on this project was carried out at the Bridgeville site<br />

during the period July 1944 through 1946. Experimental work and pilot<br />

plant testing <strong>of</strong> the methods developed was done at Golden, Colorado, and<br />

the VCA Mexican Hat and Naturita plants through late 1947. Compilation<br />

<strong>of</strong> costs incurred during the project indicate that less than 10% <strong>of</strong> the<br />

total project cost <strong>of</strong> approximately $100,000.00 was attributed to work<br />

done at the Bridgeville facility. Therefore, if we accept the premise<br />

that only laboratory bench scale testing was done at Bridgeville, and<br />

use project cost as an indicator <strong>of</strong> the volume <strong>of</strong> material (ore and/or<br />

ore concentrates) processed, it is logical to assume that the quantity<br />

<strong>of</strong> residual radioactive material that might be attributed to the project<br />

would be small compared to the total volume <strong>of</strong> tailings deposited at the<br />

site over the years by VCA. Another factor pertinent to the consideration<br />

<strong>of</strong> AEC involvement is that their (AEC) interest in the work apparently did<br />

not materialize until the spring <strong>of</strong> 1948. Furthermore, the proposed AEC<br />

expenditure <strong>of</strong> $50,000.00 was to obtain "...a substantial portion <strong>of</strong> a<br />

carnotite ore dressing program in the form <strong>of</strong> completed research work by<br />

a reputable company." There is no indication in the documents reviewed<br />

<strong>of</strong> any AEC involvement in the work until after the project was completed.<br />

Although somewhat remote, there is a possibility that the Bridgeville<br />

site might have been used as a holding or storage area for VCA concentrates<br />

(50% slimes) from their Monticello and Naturita plants. It is known that<br />

all these concentrates were processed at Vitro Manufacturing Company's<br />

plant in Canonsburg. Available information would indicate that these<br />

concentrates were shipped directly from the western sites to the Canonsburg<br />

plant. However, it is possible that the VCA facility in Bridgeville, less<br />

than twenty road miles from the Canonsburg plant, could have been used as a<br />

holding area for these concentrates. As previously indicated, documentation<br />

to confirm this scenario has not been found.<br />

Sufficient historical documentation has not been found to clearly define<br />

MED/AEC involvement in the operations at the Bridgeville site. Therefore,<br />

as has been discussed with you and with ORNL representatives, the only<br />

avenue available for determining if the <strong>Department</strong> has authority to conduct<br />

remedial action at this site is through laboratory analysis <strong>of</strong> the samples<br />

collected during the Inclusion Survey. The presence <strong>of</strong> significant quantities<br />

<strong>of</strong> highgrade pitchblende characteristic <strong>of</strong> the African ores or <strong>of</strong><br />

ore/concentrates identifiable with the Monticello, Mexican Hat or Naturita<br />

sites would suggest authority for remedial action under UMTRAP. Absent a


Mr. I..C. Brazley 3 20 March 1986<br />

correlation between the laboratory analyses and the scenarios described<br />

above, the <strong>Department</strong> might consider refering the site to EPA for consideration<br />

as a candidate for the Superfund Program.<br />

Further consideration <strong>of</strong> this matter by Aerospace will be held in<br />

abeyance until the results <strong>of</strong> the laboratory analyses are available.<br />

In the meantime, I would be happy to respond to any questions or comments<br />

you might have regarding the material presented herein.<br />

SUMMARY FOR THE VCA<br />

(VANADIUM CORPORATION OF AMERICA)<br />

PLANT, BRIDGEVILLE, PA<br />

This site conducted work for the Manhattan Engineer District in the<br />

early to mid 1940's to support processing being performed at several sites<br />

covered under the uranium mill tailings Remedial Action program. These<br />

include Canonsburg, Naturita and Mexican Hat.<br />

The facility was utilizea to grind pitchblende ore being processed at<br />

Canonsburg. The material was trucked under guard from Vitro Canonsburg to<br />

the Bridgeville plant, was ground and generally returned the same day.<br />

Records suggest in at least one instance the material was stored at<br />

Bridegville over night. The material was highgrade pitchblende (greater<br />

than 50% U308 and the uranium was in equilibrium with its daughters).<br />

It was processed in quantities <strong>of</strong> hundreds <strong>of</strong> tons at a time. The period<br />

<strong>of</strong> time the processing was performed is not known.<br />

The site also conducted developed research for the VCA processing<br />

plants at Naturita and Mexican Hat. The work was paid for by the<br />

government and was conducted between July 1944 and September 1946. The<br />

work included lao and benchscale separation tests and roasting and<br />

leaching testing on western ores from the Naturita or Mexican Hat area.<br />

Atomic <strong>Energy</strong> Commission Memoranda from the period contain detailed<br />

discussions concerning the work and its relation to the western milling<br />

operations and whether or not the Commission should pay for the research.<br />

They ultimately decided that the research was in direct support <strong>of</strong><br />

Commission projects and paid for the research.<br />

Site Location<br />

The site was located near Bridgeville, Pennsylvania <strong>of</strong>f PA Route 50<br />

near Interstate 79 about 6 miles southwest <strong>of</strong> Pittsburgh. It is located<br />

in Collier Township at Kirwan Heights. The plant is now owned by Cyclops<br />

Corporation and is in an industrial area near a General Electric glass<br />

plant. The location <strong>of</strong> the plant with respect to Canonsburg is shown in<br />
