1 Newton Creek & Hog Island Inlet Contaminated Sediment Remediation Project
2 The St. Louis River is the largest U.S. tributary to Lake Superior The Area of Concern is shared by Minnesota and Wisconsin AOC includes the 39 miles of the St. Louis River, its estuary & bays, including Superior & Allouez Bays, & the Nemadji River. Newton Creek flows 1.5 miles into Hog Island Inlet a 17 acre embayment of Superior Bay.
3 Site Location
4 Murphy Oil s Impoundment

13 Project History Early 1990 s studies found elevated levels of PAHs, diesel range organics, oil, grease, and heavy metals 1995 Murphy Oil constructs new Wastewater Treatment Plant Memorandum of Understanding Murphy Oil removes contaminated sediment from their impoundment and Segment A of Newton Creek Department removes 7,400 tons of contaminated sediment and soil from Segments B-K, of Newton Creek Murphy Oil constructs wetland treatment system 2004 Application for Great Lakes Legacy Act Funding

15 Key Studies WDNR Newton Creek System Site Characterization Report indicated: Elevated levels of contaminants exist in Newton Creek and Hog Island Inlet Toxicity to exposed laboratory organisms Ecological impacts severe in several segments of Newton Creek and Hog Island Inlet SEH confirmed findings
16 Toxicity Studies Found To aquatic organisms To tree swallows Human Health Human exposures to chemical contaminants found in soils, sediments and surface water Exposure scenarios include swimming, recreational wading and fish ingestion Risks exceed regulatory guidelines due to exposure to surface water with suspended sediment concentrations
17 Newton Creek/Hog Island Inlet Sediment and Soil Contamination Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) TPAHs List of 18 nd to 11,280 ug/kg Expanded list 11,354 to 100,000 ug/kg Diesel range organics (DRO) 6.8 to 600 mg/kg Lead 7.8 to 86 mg/kg
18
19 Project Goals To use community based partnerships to: Remediate the Newton Creek and Hog Island Inlet system Protect human health and the environment, Provide for healthy and safe recreational area(s), Provide quality productive aquatic habitat in Hog Island Inlet.

28 2005 Activities Cleanup Segment L of Newton Creek approximately 900 feet Remove approximately 40,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediments from Hog Island Inlet Funding through the Great Lakes Legacy Act, GLNPO provided 65% funding and EPA provided contract oversight to project. Earth Tech began work in early July Last sediments removed from the Inlet on November 6th
