1. INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START-2) contractor, Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON?), was tasked by EPA Region 6 Response and Protection Branch (EPA-RPB) under Contract Number 68-W-01005, Technical Direction Document (TDD) Nos. 06-04-01-0010 and 06-04-08-0008 to conduct a pilot study for placement of chat into existing mine workings at the Tar Creek Superfund Site in Ottawa County, Oklahoma. The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) Number assigned to the site is OKD980629844. This document is provided in partial fulfillment of the scope of work described in the abovementioned TDDs, issued on 27 January 2004 and 23 August 2004.

As described in the TDDs, the START-2 goals at the Tar Creek Superfund site have been to "provide technical and field support for the placement of chat and chat fines into the abandoned mines... at two separate locations utilizing a dry method of placement for the pile run chat, and a wet method of placement for the chat fines," (TDD 06-04-01-0010 with Amendments A through E) and "installation of borings, sampling and analysis of chat and mine water, physical surveys of above and below ground features, and collection and evaluation of historical data," (TDD 0604-08-0008 with Amendment A). In both cases, the chat and the fines were constantly in a previously contaminated on-site area and disposed of in a previously contaminated on-site area. This Interim Data Report is intended for the transmittal of data that have been collected to date for the two pilot studies. Evaluations of the data and development of conclusions will be presented in the final report on the pilot studies that will be prepared after they are completed.
