Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 UNIFORM FEDERAL POLICY FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLANS FOR TUTU WELLS SUPERFUND SITE FOCUSED SOURCE REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION/FEASIBILITY STUDY INTRODUCTION This Uniform Federal Policy Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP-QAPP) was developed by the Project Team to confirm that environmental data gathered will be consistent with data quality objectives (DQOs) defined for this phase of the Tutu Wells Superfund Site Focused Source Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (FSRI/FS) project. The UFP-QAPP was prepared in accordance with the following guidance documents:  Intergovernmental Data Quality Task Force (IDQTF) Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans, Final, Version 1 (UFP-QAPP) dated March 2005 and Revision 1 dated March 2012.  EPA Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/G-5) dated December 2002. The UFP-QAPP was developed as a joint initiative between the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of Energy (DoE). Its purpose is to provide a single national consensus document for consistently and systematically implementing the project-specific requirements for Section 6 (Part B) of American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality (ANSI/ASQ) Quality Systems for Environmental Data and Technology Programs - Requirements with Guidance for Use, ANSI/ASQ E4 (February 2004) across the Federal agencies involved in the IDQTF. It is consistent with EPA’s Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/G-5) dated December 2002 and Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/R-5) dated March 2001. Additionally, implementation of the UFP-QAPP helps to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of environmental information that the Federal government disseminates as required by the Information Quality Guidelines Staff (EPA/260R-02-008) dated October 2002. A series of worksheets were completed (following Part 2A of the UFP-QAPP) for this project. Each worksheet addresses specific requirements of the UFP-QAPP. The Optimized UFP-QAPP Worksheets as revised in March 2012 were used. Table 1 provides a crosswalk between the worksheets and the respective elements of this QAPP. Site Description The Tutu Wellfield site is located on the eastern end of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), in the Anna’s Retreat section. See Figure 1. The site is situated within the upper Turpentine Run surface drainage basin. This basin, which covers approximately 2.3 square miles, trends roughly north-south and is bounded by the steep slopes of the surrounding hills. Investigation work began at the Tutu Wellfield site in 1987 in response to complaints from local residents of an odor emanating from their groundwater supply wells. The EPA directed its Technical Assistance Team to collect groundwater samples from several wells in the Tutu area. The sampling results revealed the presence of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) contaminants in the groundwater above Federal maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for drinking water supply. The incident was classified as major, and the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) Commissioner requested EPA to assume the role of lead agency. EPA condemned the contaminated supply wells, made arrangements to provide an alternate drinking water supply to the affected residents and initiated investigations to identify the sources of contamination. A Hazard Ranking System package was prepared and the site was added to the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 29, 1995. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 Geraghty & Miller (April 1995) conducted remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) activities at the site from 1992 to 1995 on behalf of the Tutu Environmental Investigation Committee. The Record of Decision (ROD) for the site was signed on August 5, 1996. During the multi-phased RI conducted by Geraghty & Miller, groundwater samples were collected from 51 monitoring wells and 15 supply wells in the Tutu Valley. These samples were analyzed for organic compounds, metals, and various inorganic water quality parameters. In addition, eight rounds of groundwater samples were collected from the water supply well and subsequently analyzed. Results of the groundwater sampling identified four main plumes of contamination at the Tutu Wells Site: two chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC plumes) (northern and southern), and two BTEX (Texaco and Esso) plumes. Two sources of CVOC plumes were identified: Curriculum Center and O’Henry. While the plumes from these sources have comingled, they can be distinguished based on concentration levels. The northern plume is located at Curriculum Center while the southern plume is located at O’Henry. The BTEX plumes are not discussed further since they are being remediated by Texaco and Esso. The Record of Decision (ROD) was signed on August 5, 1996; it calls for area-wide plume/source containment and treatment of contaminated groundwater. Soils that are sources of groundwater contamination will be addressed at the various impacted facilities by a combination of in-situ and ex-situ soil vapor extraction (SVE) and soil disposal methods. On May 1998, EPA issued separate Unilateral Administrative Orders (UAOs) to Texaco, Esso and O’Henry. The focus of this work assignment is the Curriculum Center groundwater; the following sections of the QAPP focus on Curriculum Center only. Details on the Tutu Site history are available in the Final Pre-Design Report (CDM, 2001). The following historical information has been obtained from the Final Pre-Design Report and the April 2013 Annual Remedial Action Progress Report by CDM Smith. Curriculum Center Background, History, and Summary of Contamination The northern-most (upgradient) source of CVOC groundwater contamination is located on the Curriculum Center property, which is currently owned and operated by the USVI Department of Education. According to Arthur D. Little Inc.'s 1994 report, the Curriculum Center building and property were previously occupied by LAGA Industries, Ltd (LAGA), who owned and operated a textile manufacturing plant at this location from 1971 to 1978. The plant included an industrial-sized dry cleaning process that used tetrachloroethene (PCE) as the dry cleaning solvent. Testimony by former LAGA employees (Smith and Richards) indicated that spent PCE and residue from the dry cleaning process were disposed in an outdoor pit located to the north of the building. However, the accuracy of this testimony was questioned by LAGA after re-interviewing the employees and based on the fact that no "pit" was located during the RIs. The northern CVOC plume, which originates at the Curriculum Center, was identified in the 1995 RI to extend approximately 1,600 feet south, in the direction of the groundwater flow, to a point just southeast of Four Winds Plaza, and was estimated to be 500 feet wide. The highest concentrations of total CVOCs occurred in shallow zone monitoring wells near the source, where CVOC concentrations greater than 1,000 microgram/liter (ug/1) were detected (Figure 2). Concentrations of VOCs in the northern part of the northern plume had not decreased with time, nor had the shape or general extent of VOC contamination changed in this area. This pattern suggested the presence of a continuing source of VOCs to groundwater in the vicinity of the Curriculum Center. Deeper groundwater zones (> 50 feet below ground surface (bgs)) at the Curriculum Center were not investigated during the RI. The principal CVOCs detected in the northern plume were cis-1,2- dichloroethene (DCE), PCE, and trichloroethene (TCE). Vinyl chloride was also detected at high concentrations in the northern plume, but its detection was restricted to the immediate vicinity of the Curriculum Center. The maximum concentrations detected in the northern plume during the RI were DCE at 2,100 ug/l, vinyl chloride at 1,300 ug/l, PCE at 360 ug/l and TCE at 78 ug/l, all of which exceeded their respective MCLs. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 In the southern part of the northern CVOC plume, south of Tillett Gardens, CVOC concentrations were generally lower than near the Curriculum Center. The highest concentrations of VOCs detected in this part of the plume during the RI were PCE at 140 ug/l, DCE at 100 ug/l and TCE at 33 ug/l. Unlike the northern part of this plume, CVOC concentrations in the southern part of the plume were higher in deeper monitoring wells than in shallow wells. During the RI, underground piping that contained oil and 30% PCE solvent was discovered by EPA and the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) beneath the Curriculum Center building. This piping did not appear on the as-built plans provided to EPA. In March 1995, EPA was able to trace the piping from the floor drainpipes to a room that apparently held the PCE reclamation still to the former dry cleaning room. There was no evidence of leakage in the section of pipe investigated; however, the full extent of the piping and its integrity remained unknown. During the RI at the Curriculum Center, 3 to 1,800 ug/l of PCE was detected in eight samples at the north-central side of the main building in the vicinity of the former discharge pipe and presumed former waste pit. TCE was detected in four samples at concentrations from 1 to 130 ug/l. One CVOC, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), was detected above EPA's soil screening levels. Although no samples were collected from beneath the building, it was suspected that higher concentrations of CVOCs may be present in the soil beneath the building or in the unsaturated bedrock. The elevated concentrations of CVOCs in groundwater adjacent to and immediately down gradient of the Curriculum Center indicated a high probability that an additional source of PCE is present in the bedrock. At the northeast corner of the Curriculum Center, in an area where a drain from the paint shop sink discharged to the ground, BTEX compounds exceeded EPA's soil screening levels in two surface soil samples. Benzene was detected at 2,700 ug/l and toluene was detected at 500,000 ug/l. Pre-design field investigations were completed by CDM Smith for the USEPA (hereon referred to USEPA) from August 1998 through October 1999 to further define the extent of CVOCs in Curriculum Center soil and site-wide groundwater and to collect hydrologic and geologic information to be used in the remedial design (RD). The USEPA installed and/or collected environmental samples from seven shallow interior building soil borings, nine shallow exterior building soil borings, seven deep soil borings, nine monitoring wells, two extraction wells, and 26 vapor probes. Subfloor pipe tracing was completed at the Curriculum Center using building architectural drawings, visual observation, hand augering, and concrete coring. The objective was to determine unknown discharge points. Six core holes inside the building and three hand auger boreholes outside the building were drilled to confirm the existence of known and suspected pipes. Solvents encountered in the pipes was sampled and removed by wet vacuuming. The existence of vadose-zone CVOC contamination at the Curriculum Center was confirmed during the SVE pilot study completed from October to November 2000. Based upon data collected during this test, the extent of vadose-zone contamination is limited to the immediate area of the work shop behind the Curriculum Center. Approximately 40 pounds of CVOCs were removed during a 5-day SVE performance test, with a final mass removal rate of approximately four pounds per day. The USEPA completed the RD for the Curriculum Center soils and site-wide groundwater in September 2001. The remedial action (RA) construction activities were initiated in September 2003 and completed in April 2004. The treatment facility at the Curriculum Center includes a groundwater treatment system and an SVE system. The groundwater treatment system includes three recovery wells (RW-6, RW-7, and RW-9) and was operated by the USEPA until subsequently operational responsibilities were transferred to the USVI in 2013. The SVE system includes two wells (SVE-1 and SVE-7), and is located within the groundwater treatment building at the Curriculum Center. The SVE system met it’s beneficial use goal and was shut down in 2006. Based on the second 5-year review by the USEPA and the analytical results showing a possible continual contamination in the deep part of the Curriculum Center aquifer, the USEPA created Operable Unit (OU) 2 to further investigate this source. The purpose of this QAPP is to support the OU2 field activities. The following sections of the QAPP focus on Curriculum Center groundwater only.

Information provided in this Worksheet has been obtained from the Final PDI Report referenced in this QAPP. The primary site CVOCs and contaminant daughter products that are representative of the Curriculum Center contaminant source area include PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride. The PDI investigation(s) at the Curriculum Center showed that the subsurface structural geological conditions have a large impact on the migration of contamination. The overburden, which ranges in thickness from less than one foot to more than 30 feet, appears to be the thickest in the vicinity of the suspected discharges on the north side of the building. This trough or depression in the bedrock surface likely acted as a “sink” for discharges, resulting in three regimes that affect the fate and transport of contaminants: (1) the thicker zones of overburden contain variable amounts of clay, which likely affected the vertical and horizontal migration of releases from the building. (2) the bedrock down to approximately 80 feet below ground surface (bgs) in this area is highly fractured, with good vertical and horizontal permeability. Liquid wastes most likely migrated readily through this zone. (3) the deeper bedrock, from 80 feet bgs to approximately 130 feet bgs, has minimal fracturing, resulting in much lower permeability. It is likely that liquid contaminants have become trapped in rock matrix in this zone, as evidenced by the extremely high levels of contamination. Based on these observations, it was concluded that significant CVOC concentrations are present in the aquifer at the Curriculum Center, and: ‐ Shallow groundwater contamination, from the water table to approximately 70 feet bgs, is in a highly productive zone. ‐ Deep groundwater contamination, from approximately 80 feet to 130 feet bgs, is extremely high, with levels of PCE representing highly saturated conditions. This aquifer zone has minimal fracture permeability and, therefore, is not considered a productive zone. According to the April 2013 Annual Remedial Action Progress Report, data indicates that the treatment facility at the Curriculum Center is successfully removing contaminant mass and retarding the migration of the CVOC groundwater plume. However, the consistency of contaminant concentrations over the past few years in the shallow zone just downgradient of the facility suggest that some contamination from the highly contaminated deep zone maybe migrating to the shallow zone. The source is known, but the mechanisms of transport and the interaction between the upper and lower zones are not well understood. The bottom of the Tutu aquifer is not well defined but is dependent, to a great extent, upon the characteristics of bedrock fracturing.. The focus of the FSRI is to confirm the presence of DNAPL on or in the bedrock. Information obtained during the FSRI will be used to further develop the CSM. The FSRI will focus on primary site CVOCs listed above since sufficient information is available for the contaminants at the Curriculum Center.HDR will then evaluate if it is feasible to remediate or recover DNAPL and present the findings in the focused source FS report. Data colelcted during the FSRI will be used to determine if hydraulic capture of DNAPL and contaminated groundwater with the existing Curriculum Center treatment facility is feasible or if any upgradies or modifications need to be made to the facility in order to accomplish the same. Existing operations and maintenance (O&M) performance data and mass flux will be used to estimate remedial timeframes and costs in the focused source FS report. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 QAPP Worksheet #11 Project/Data Quality Objectives/ Systematic Planning Process Statements (UFP-QAPP Manual Section 2.6.1) (EPA 2106-G-05 Section 2.2.6) The problem to be addressed by the project: Site history, background, and a summary of contamination at the Curriculum Center were provided in the Introduction section. Figure 2 shows the Curriculum Center. Data needs to be gathered at the Curriculum Center during FSRI activities to delineate the nature and extent of contamination in the bedrock aquifer, and develop remedial alternatives in an FS in support of a ROD, and to prepare a Technical Impracticability (TI) waiver, if appropriate. The source is known, but the mechanisms of transport and the interaction between the upper and lower zones of the bedrock aquifer are not well understood. The contaminants of concern (COCs) at the Curriculum Center predominantly include PCE, TCE, cis 1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride. A surface geophysical evaluation will be completed using three different surface geophysical methods. Seismic techniques will be used to determine the depth and shape of the bedrock surface. This data will be used to identify locations where CVOCs could have pooled in low areas on the surface and entered bedrock. An Aestus GeoTrax electrical conductivity survey will be conducted to assess the potential location and distribution of high concentrations of CVOCs within bedrock. A Willowstick geophysical survey will be conducted to identify water bearing fractures that could be transporting CVOCs through the bedrock aquifer. A Matrix Diffusion Evaluation consisting of rock coring will be completed at two locations to document the potential presence and vertical distribution of CVOCs in bedrock pore water. Water level monitoring of 29 monitoring and recovery wells, capture zone evaluation of 12 wells to understand the ROI and hydraulic capture of the existing treatment system, surface geophysical surveys, borehole drilling/coring, 6 monitoring well installations, borehole geophysics in 9 existing wells and 6 new wells, packer testing, and groundwater sampling will be conducted during the investigation to support the preparation of an RI report and an FS. The environmental questions being asked: The questions being asked are: What is the nature and extent of contamination in the bedrock aquifer? What are the characteristics of the waste for off-site disposal and how will the waste be disposed? What are the fate and transport processes that effect the migration of CVOCs in the bedrock aquifer? What are the current and potential future impacts on contamination on human health and the environment? What are the most appropriate remedial alternatives for the contaminated groundwater to eliminate, reduce, or control risks to human health and the environment? Is a Technical Impracticability waiver appropriate? Alternative actions or outcomes that may result based on the answers to the key questions being asked: Existing database information and on-going site remedial practices will be evaluated, and a limited amount of field work will be performed to identify data gaps, which will aid in defining the overall CSM. Based on the results of the FSRI, recommendations will be given for additional site characterization and/or analytical parameters that should be used for future investigations, if required. The results of the FSRI and site conditions will be used to identify remedial alternatives in the FS. The results of the FSRI will determine how and where the waste is disposed. A synopsis of secondary data or information from site reports: Information from previous investigations has revealed the presence of a continuing source of CVOCs in groundwater in the vicinity of Curriculum Center. The primary COCs identified were PCE, TCE, cis 1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride. The possible classes of contaminants and the affected matrices: The focus of the FSRI is groundwater, but other matrices will be sampled to fill in data gaps, support the FS and identify the need for a TI waiver. The other matrices to be sampled are pore water and rock. Based on historical data available for the Curriculum Center, the contaminants of concern are CVOCs. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 The rationale for inclusion of chemical and nonchemical analyses: HDR will collect samples for trace level Target Compound List (TCL) VOCs in groundwater and rock coring samples. Rock coring (matrix diffusion) samples will also be analyzed for non-chemical parameters: specific gravity, bulk density, percent moisture and total organic carbon (TOC). The rock core samples will be collected and analyzed by a subcontractor, who will be operating under a separate approved QAPP. These parameters will be analyzed to gain a current understanding of the nature and extent of contamination at the study site. Waste disposal characterization of drummed soil cuttings will be in accordance with disposal facility requirements. The waste characterization requirements will be confirmed following selection/identification of the treatment and disposal facilities. It is assumed that wastewater samples will be sent to the treatment system for disposal. This QAPP will be updated when more information is available regarding the waste characterization requirements. Information concerning various environmental indicators: Environmental indicators have been observed during previous investigations as summarized above. Project decision conditions (“If..., then...” statements): The primary decision statement for the FSRI sampling through the collection of samples is: If insufficient usable data (less than 95% complete) is obtained, then additional activities may be required to refine the CSM and aid in the understanding of bedrock aquifer conditions. Completeness of the data is defined as a measure of the samples collected versus the number of samples analyzed that yielded valid, or useable, results. If remedial groundwater alternatives are considered impracticable for the bedrock aquifer, then a TI waiver will be prepared. Who will use the data? HDR, and USEPA Region 2 will use the data. What will the data be used for?  Groundwater data will be used to confirm the presence or absence of groundwater contamination in the bedrock aquifer, to determine the extent of contamination horizontally and vertically, and to evaluate groundwater as an exposure medium.  Rock coring data will be used to calculate rock pore water concentrations, diffusion, and evaluate the rock matrix as a potential continuing source of contamination. What type of data are needed? How much data are needed? HDR will collect groundwater and rock core samples in accordance with Table 1 of the June 2015 Draft FSRI/FS Work Plan and as summarized in this QAPP. QA/QC samples are described in Worksheet #20. The sampling program will include the following: -Limited site surveys and reconnaissance, and well surveys -Surface geophysical investigations consisting of seismic survey, Aestus GeoTrax survey (11 transects), and Willowstick geophysical survey (2 locations). -Rock coring/matrix diffusion samples will be collected from two borings (upto 20 per boring; total upto 40 samples) and analyzed for CVOCs, wet and dry bulk density, % moisture, specific gravity and TOC. These results will be used to convert the laboratory results into pore water concentrations. Prior to sampling, the core will be photographed. -Continuous water level measurements via six existing transducers and six additional transducers in selected wells for capture zone evaluation; one round of synoptic groundwater elevation measurements from 29 monitoring wells and recovery wells; and barometric and rainfall data from National Weather Service. -Installation of one shallow bedrock monitoring well and five deep bedrock monitoring wells. Target depth for shallow well is assumed as 80 feet below ground surface (bgs). Target depth for deep bedrock wells assumed as 140 feet bgs. Actual well depths will be established based on the results from the initial hydrogeologic and geophysical assessments conducted during the investigation. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 -Borehole geophysics (fluid temperature, fluid resistivity, caliper, heat pulse flowmeter, and acoustic televiewer) in nine existing wells and six new wells. -Packer testing of three discrete intervals will be conducted at each of the six new bedrock wells for a total of 18 samples. -One groundwater sample from 23 existing monitoring wells and six newly installed monitoring wells for a total of 29 samples will be analyzed for TCL VOCs. -Field screening using a photoionization (PID) or flame ionization detector (FID) will be performed during well installation and during sample collection. Field screening parameters using a water quality meter (e.g., Horiba U-22 or equivalent) will be performed during groundwater sampling. -Soil drill cuttings for waste characterization are anticipated. It is assumed that EPA/HDR will coordinate with the USVI Government operating the Curriculum Center groundwater treatment system and sampling wastewater will be sent to the Curriculum Center treatment system. This QAPP will be updated with waste characterization criteria when a decision on the disposal facility is made. HDR is exploring green options for reducing and managing the Investigative Derived Waste (IDW), including local disposal and recycling options. How “good” do the data need to be in order to support the environmental decision? The investigation is defined as a critical step in the planning process to assess bedrock aquifer conditions, provide the data necessary to support the remedial alternatives and a TI waiver, if applicable. The data needs to be of sufficient quality to verify that results were obtained using applicable processes and protocols and are adequate in satisfying the above project DQOs as well as for risk assessment and other decision-making purposes. The parameters for assessing the usability of the data are outlined in Worksheet #37. Where, when, and how should the data be collected/generated? Worksheet #20 presents the project schedule. Worksheet #17 presents the sampling design and rationale. Worksheet #18 presents the sampling locations and methods. Worksheet #18 lists the SOPs that govern various types of sampling. The SOPs are provided in Attachment A. Who will collect and generate the data? HDR’s field crews will conduct all sampling activities. Procurement of analytical services will follow the FASTAC process. It is unknown which labs will perform these services at the time of the issuance of the QAPP. It is assumed that all samples except rock cores will be analyzed by DESA/CLP; therefore, both relevant information for DESA (included within the QAPP worksheets) and CLP (Attachment B) are provided. It is assumed that rock core samples for CVOCs will be analyzed by a real-time on-site non-RAS subcontracted laboratory. Rock core sample analysis for parameters other than CVOCs will also be conducted by a non-RAS subcontracted laboratory. How will the data be reported? All data from DESA/CLP will be validated by EPA for use by HDR to provide data evaluation and overall usability in its reports to EPA. Analytical data will be received in electronic Region 2 Electronic Data Deliverable (EDD) format and loaded into EQuIS. EQuIS will be used to generate summary tables for use in HDR’s reports and to generate text files for upload by EPA into their own database. As necessary, GIS and other graphics software will be used to prepare figures for reports and presentations. Who will collect and generate the data? HDR’s field crews will conduct all sampling activities. It is currently assumed that rock core sample analysis for CVOCs will be conducted by an on-site non-RAS subcontracted laboratory. Rock core sample analysis for parameters other than CVOCs will be shipped to a subcontractor laboratory for analysis. All other samples will be shipped to DESA/CLP for chemical analysis. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 QAPP Worksheet #12 Measurement Performance Criteria Table (UFP-QAPP Manual Section 2.6.2) (EPA 2106-G-05 Section 2.2.6) Data quality indicators (DQIs), measurement performance criteria (MPC), and QC sample and/or activity are used to assess the measurement performance for both the sampling and analytical measurement systems. DQIs include the PARCC (precision, accuracy, representativeness, comparability, and completeness) parameters; a method of assessing the validity of environmental data. Precision, accuracy, and completeness can be measured quantitatively based on techniques described below and in Worksheet #37. Representativeness and comparability are qualitative measurements. Precision is a measure of the variation among individual measurements of the same sample (i.e., the relative percent difference of the results obtained for a sample and a split/blind duplicate sample collected at the same time and in the same way as the original sample). Accuracy is a measure of the distortion of a measurement from its true value (i.e., the percent recovery of a sample spiked with a known concentration of the analytes being tested for (matrix spike). Representativeness is a measure of how closely the results received reflect the actual concentrations or distribution of compounds in a sample, as well as field conditions and environmental conditions. Sampling plan design, sample collection techniques, and sample handling protocols have been developed to ensure the collection of representative samples. Field and laboratory blanks will be analyzed to assess sample contamination. Comparability expresses the confidence with which one data set can be compared to another. To ensure comparability, standard operating/sampling procedures will be followed. Completeness is a measure of the number of samples collected versus the number of samples analyzed that yielded valid, or useable, results. Data completeness determines whether planned DQOs have been satisfied and is based upon the usability calculation; described further in Worksheet #37. This worksheet will be updated with waste characterization requirements when more information is obtained from a suitable waste disposal facility. The following table summarizes the EPA’s Division of Environmental Science and Assessment (DESA) laboratory’s MPCs for Tutu Wells Site. It is not known at the time the QAPP is being prepared whether DESA or CLP will analyze the samples; therefore, CLP values are provided as an attachment.

HDR will collect groundwater samples from 23 existing monitoring wells and 6 new monitoring wells for a total of 29 bedrock locations as shown on Figure 2. The goal of the FSRI is to characterize the bedrock aquifer conditions and define the nature and extent of contamination. This QAPP will be revised as necessary to document changes in proposed sampling strategy as data becomes available for the site. Groundwater: Monitoring wells will be installed in the bedrock aquifer to define the extent of the groundwater plume and delineate the source or sources of contamination. Twenty-three existing wells at Curriculum Center are currently used to define the nature and extent of groundwater contamination. Six new wells will be installed as part of this scope of work. One well will be installed in the deep water bearing zone near RD-5 to define the concentration of VOCs in the deep water bearing zone at this location. Two monitoring wells will be installed at selected locations to confirm the Aestus survey. Two additional wells (one in the shallow water bearing zone and one in the deep water bearing zone) will be installed to facilitate the completion of the Willowstick geophysical survey. One bedrock core will be installed which maybe converted to a well. Groundwater samples will be collected from 26 wells to further define the nature and extent of groundwater contamination. The need to collect groundwater samples from the two Willowstick wells will be determined as the investigation proceeds. A total of 29 groundwater samples are anticipated. The hydrogeological assessment includes a well redevelopment and hydraulic testing, well condition survey, downhole geophysics, capture zone evaluation, monitoring well installation, groundwater elevation survey, packer sampling, groundwater elevation measurements, and groundwater sampling. Rock: Due to the possibility of contaminant mass transfer between fractures and the rock matrix, rock core sampling and matrix diffusion analysis will be performed. A minimum of one boring will be drilled in the core of the mapped plume at Curriculum Center to determine if the VOCs have diffused into the matrix of the bedrock. Whole rock samples will be collected at a minimum of 2 foot intervals for whole rock analysis of VOCs. Whole rock samples will be collected and analyzed until the concentration of VOCs in the whole rock core samples is less than the PQL. This component of the sampling will be conducted by a subcontractor whose QAPP will be provided separately. ‐ Analytical data will be compared to State and Federal standards appropriate for the respective media and their potential use to determine whether standards are exceeded. The COCs identified for the Curriculum Center to date are CVOCs (PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride) in groundwater. Waste characterization sampling requirements will depend upon disposal facility requirements and this QAPP will be updated accordingly once those requirements are known. Wastewater IDW will likely be disposed of in the groundwater treatment system to minimize off-site disposal. Non-analytical Data (not from laboratory analysis) ‐ Groundwater elevation data collected during the investigation (synoptic measurements and continuous long-term measurements using transducers) will be used to establish groundwater flow direction and fluctuations in bedrock aquifer, to support the placement of new monitoring wells, to support the investigation and modeling of area hydrogeology, and to understand the radius of influence and hydraulic capture of the existing groundwater extraction system. Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 ‐ Barometric data may be collected by transducers to document the potential effect changes in barometric pressure could have on the water levels. Rainfall measurements will be obtained from the nearest precipitation station or airport to evaluate precipitation’s potential effect on groundwater levels. ‐ Seismic geophysical data will be used to determine depth and shape of bedrock and identify locations where CVOCs could have pooled in low areas on the surface and entered bedrock. ‐ Aestus GeoTrax electrical conductivity survey will be used to assess the potential location and distribution of high concentrations of CVOCs within bedrock. ‐ Willowstick geophysical survey will be conducted to identify water bearing fractures that could be transporting CVOCs through the bedrock aquifer. ‐ Matrix diffusion data will be used to assess the fate and transport of CVOCs in the bedrock and to evaluate potential remedies and remedial time frames. ‐ Downhole geophysical data generated during the investigation will be used to identify discrete water-bearing depths in fractured bedrock, strike and dip of bedrock, and flow data. The data will be used to determine packer testing intervals for chemical and flow testing and as input for hydrogeological modeling. Field screening results (soil core screening) from PIDs (or FIDs) will be used to determine if IDW is highly contaminated and segregate it from the other IDW in order to minimize the volume of IDW that will require management as hazardous. Analytical Data - Groundwater Sampling and Rock Coring The process that will be used to make decisions based on the data collected is provided in Worksheet #10. All groundwater analytical data generated during the investigation will be used to define the nature and extent of CVOCs, confirm CVOC anomalies identified in the Aestus survey, and complete the Willowstick survey. The data will also be used to guide the placement of new monitoring or recovery wells, if needed in the future. Packer testing chemical data will be used to determine a vertical groundwater contamination profile within the bedrock aquifer. Groundwater data will be considered sufficient when sufficient data is available to define the nature and extent of groundwater contamination. Analytical data for physical properties and CVOCs of bedrock cores generated during the investigation will be used to convert the laboratory results into rock pore water concentrations. Rock data will be considered sufficient when sufficient data is available to define the nature and extent of contamination in the rock matrix.

The general frequency will be one field duplicate for every 20 investigative samples collected (frequency of 5%). Field duplicates will be submitted to the laboratory as “blind” samples (i.e., the actual sampling location will be recorded in the field logbook but not on the chain-of-custody). Equipment (rinsate) Blanks: Equipment blanks, or equipment rinsates, are analyzed to check for procedural contamination at the site that may cause sample contamination. Equipment blanks will be prepared in the field, using laboratory-grade deionized water, by allowing the water to flow over/through the sampling implement and into sample containers with the appropriate preservative. Equipment blanks will be collected from non-dedicated and non-disposable equipment. The general frequency of submittal will be a minimum of 5% or one field blank per day of sampling depending on the size of the project. Field Blanks: A blank used to provide information about contaminants that may be introduced during sample collection, storage, and transport; also a clean sample exposed to sampling conditions, transported to the laboratory, and treated as an environmental sample. Field blanks will be collected once per day of sampling. Trip Blanks: Trip blanks are used to assess whether cross-over of constituents between samples occurs during sample shipment and storage. One laboratory-supplied trip blank, consisting of high-grade deionized water (e.g., laboratory “purge” water) will be included along with each shipment of samples to be analyzed for VOCs. Matrix Spikes: Matrix spikes provide information about the effect of the sample matrix on the preparation and measurement methodology.

This includes checking the manufacturers’ operating and instruction manual(s) for each instrument to maintain conformance with recommended operation and maintenance and calibration procedures. The instruments will also be calibrated/checked at the end of each day in the field. If abnormal readings are observed throughout the day, either as a result of weather or field conditions, the instruments may be calibrated/checked in order to determine whether any “drift” in the accuracy of the meter’s ability to record measurements has occurred. In the event that an internally calibrated field instrument fails to meet calibration/checkout procedures, it will be returned to the manufacturer for service.

HDR’s QA/QC program requires QC reviews commensurate with the stage of the project beginning with proposal submittal, scope of work, schedule and budget development. At notice to proceed (NTP), a “zero percent” review will be conducted, proceeded by reviews staged at major project milestones/delivery points. Initial reviews will focus on business issues, client expectations, and resource related elements. Subsequent reviews escalate in detail, including design calculations and analysis (i.e., design checks), scope compliance, inter-disciplinary coordination, drawing projection standards (client and HDR standards), and subcontractor review and coordination. The HDR QA team will be selected by the QA/QC Manager. QA/QC reviewers will be “senior level” engineers, scientists, and/or specialists not involved with the specific project or work assignment. Reviews will be documented on the HDR Management Review Form (MRF) (see Attachment D). Field activities performed by both HDR staff and subcontractors will be audited for each phase of work conducted in the field. The audit will be conducted by the Field Activities Manager and will consist of a comprehensive review of field work and health and safety practices to ensure that the procedures employed adhere to the QAPP and SSHP. In general, a field audit will be conducted once per week for each week field activities are occurring. Results of the audit will be summarized on the HDR Field Quality Control Audit (FQCA) form ( see Attachment D) and forwarded to the EPA upon completion. In addition, a Daily Quality Control Report (DQCR) will be completed for each day in the field that will document all activities, visitors, conditions, corrective actions, etc. (see Attachment D). EPA Region 2 will audit the CLP laboratories, as necessary, and will perform these audits on a program rather than project-specific basis. For analyses that are carried out by a subcontracted laboratory, onsite laboratory audits will be conducted on an as-needed basis and scheduled before laboratory work begins. Results of these audits will be summarized and forwarded to the EPA upon completion. A member of the HDR IT team will be assigned to periodically conduct verification of computer models and software to verify correctness, reasonableness, and user competence. The audits will be conducted by entering known data sets or by double entry, cross checking, or range checking. Verification of the models and software performance will be included in the specific reports, as appropriate. It will be the responsibility of the HDR Project Manager to develop and initiate corrective action as necessary if unacceptable conditions are discovered as a result of the QC audits. The EPA Contracting Officer will be notified if conditions are such that the overall program is affected and a Corrective Action Report will be issued (see Attachment E).

The PARCC (precision, accuracy, representativeness, comparability, and completeness) parameters are a method of assessing the validity and usability of environmental data. Following validation, the HDR project team will assess the data. Assessment will include incorporation of the data validation findings into a database by entering data qualifiers. Assessment will also include review of the quantitative DQOs and the preparation of a summary report. The final report will include an evaluation of the overall usability of the data. The quantitative DQOs are defined below. Precision If calculated from duplicate measurements: RPD = (C1 - C2) x 100% (C1 + C2) / 2 where, RPD = relative percent difference C1 = larger of the two observed values C2 = smaller of the two observed values Accuracy For measurements where matrix spikes are used: %R = 100% x S - U Csa where, %R = percent recovery S = measured concentration in spike aliquot U = measured concentration in unspiked aliquot Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 Csa = actual concentration of spike added Completeness Defined as follows for all measurements: %C = 100% x V T where, %C = percent completeness V = number of measurements judged valid T = total number of measurements Comparability is the degree of confidence with which results from two or more data sets, or two or more laboratories, may be compared. To achieve comparability, standard environmental methodologies will be employed in the field and in the laboratory, including:  Using identified standard procedures/methods for both sampling and analysis phases of the project;  Ensuring traceability of all analytical standards and/or source materials;  Verifying all calibrations;  Using standard reporting units and reporting formats, including the reporting of QA/QC data;  Validating analytical results, including using data qualifiers in all cases where appropriate;  Requiring that validation qualifiers be provided at all times (e.g., text, tables, figures, etc.) with the associated analytical result; and  Requiring that any metadata on the data set (i.e., information for purposes of description, administration, technical functionality and requirements, use and usage, and/or preservation) be documented and provided with the data set at all times. These steps will ensure all future users of either the data or the conclusions drawn from them will have a basis for establishing the acceptance criteria for its use and will be able to judge the comparability of these data and conclusions. When a definitive off-site laboratory analysis is performed to verify field screening results (e.g., the soil gas survey samples), the comparability between the two sets of results must be established. This evaluation will determine the acceptability of the screening results for use in meeting PQOs and making project decisions. Acceptability will be based on a Percent Different (%D) criterion of 20 percent, calculated using the following equation: Vd – Vs %D = x 100 Vd Title: Quality Assurance Project Plan Revision Number: 0 Revision Date: October 2015 Project-Specific QAPP Tutu Wells Site FSRI/FS St. Thomas, USVI Document Control No. 147 254794-0 where Vd is the definitive value and Vs is the screening method sample concentration value. For the overall evaluation of comparability, at least 75 percent of the calculated %Ds must meet the 20 percent acceptance criteria. Representativeness is the degree to which the results of the analyses accurately and precisely represent a characteristic of a population, a process condition, or an environmental condition. In this case, representativeness is the degree to which the data reflect the contaminants present and their concentration magnitudes in the sampled site areas. Sample homogeneity and sampling/subsampling variability must be considered during project planning to obtain a higher degree of representativeness. Representativeness of data will be obtained through the proper selection of sampling locations and implementation of approved sampling and analytical procedures. Results from environmental field duplicate sample analyses can be used to assess representativeness, in addition to precision. The HDR Project Manager will be responsible for information in the usability assessment. The data usability assessment will be conducted on validated data; the results will be presented with each measurement report. After the data usability has been performed, data deemed appropriate for use will then be used with each measurement report. The HDR chemist will determine if quality control data is within MPCs through the data assessment validation process IIb. The usability report will include a discussion of the accuracy, precision, representativeness, completeness, and comparability of the data set and deviations from planned procedures and analysis and the impact on the project objectives. Tables will be prepared, including a summary of planned samples, collected samples and parameters analyzed, detection in field blanks and trip blanks, comparison of field duplicates, estimated and rejected data, and a comparison of planned and actual detection limits.

SOP-FS-02 Mobilization and Demobilization HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1.0 Purpose & Application This procedure describes mobilization and demobilization activities for planned field work. Any variation from this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. 2.0 Equipment & Materials Equipment & materials to be mobilized to the site are identified in the SOPs for each specific activity. 3.0 Procedure This field investigation activity consists of field personnel orientation, equipment mobilization, the determination of sampling locations, and demobilization. Each field team member will attend an on-site orientation meeting to become familiar with the history of the site, health and safety requirements, and field investigation procedures. Equipment mobilization will entail the ordering, purchase, and if necessary, fabrication of all sampling supplies and equipment needed for the field investigation. An inventory of available HDR, Inc. supplies/equipment will be conducted prior to initiating field activities, and all additional equipment required will be secured. Proactive communications will be initiated with property owners and managers. At sites with substantial activities, a field office trailer may be set up and necessary utility hookups will be made as part of the mobilization effort. For the Site Reconnaissance, sample locations shall be determined and marked with stakes or marking paint, as applicable, and recorded with GPS, where appropriate. Utility clearance will be conducted, as per Work Plan, at locations planned for drilling or earth moving. Equipment and personnel will be demobilized at the completion of each portion of the field activities as necessary. Equipment demobilization may include (but will not be limited to) sampling equipment, drilling subcontractor equipment, and field office trailer and utility hookups. Demobilization will also consist of site-area clean-up, staging and inventory of investigation-derived wastes, and organization of investigation records. Site restoration may be required. 4.0 References None. SOP-FS-02 Mobilization and Demobilization HDR Engineering, Inc.

Their location will be collected with a “mapping grade” GPS unit accurate to within one meter. These locations will be recovered prior to sample collection and marked with spray paint, survey nails, stakes, and/or survey tape depending on site conditions. After sample collection, the exact location(s) from where the sample was collected will be collected with the GPS. Sample locations requiring a full survey will be surveyed by a subcontracted licensed surveyor. Monitoring well coordinates (latitude and longitude) and elevations will be established for each monitoring well and will be referenced to mean sea level (msl). The horizontal control will be to the closest one foot and referenced to local State Plane Coordinate System (North American Datum (NAD) of 1983). The vertical control will be to the nearest 0.01 foot and referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Measurements will be established for ground surface, top of riser and top of casing at each monitoring well. Soil borings and surface soil sample locations requiring a full survey will be located vertically and horizontally, as above. Each surveyed point will include the following information: SOP-FS-03 Site Location and Elevation Survey HDR Engineering, Inc.

Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1.0 Purpose & Application This procedure describes techniques that will be used when air monitoring is required. Real-time air monitoring will be conducted during all intrusive site program activities to ensure the safety of all field personnel. Air monitoring will be conducted at the borehole and in the breathing zone during drilling operations using a PID or FID. In addition, the PID (or FID) will be used to measure for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at the well head, prior to groundwater sampling and to guide soil sample collection. In instances where conditions are unknown a portable gas multi meter should also be used. When conducting activities within a landfill, a RAD meter should be used. When monitoring for dust or as part of community air monitoring, aerosol monitors should also be used. Air monitoring will be conducted by a trained HDR person. Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. 2.0 Equipment & Materials  MiniRae 2000 PID, 10.6 eV lamp  PE Photovac Micro FID  MultiRAE PLUS Gas Monitor  DR-4000 DataRAM Real-Time Aerosol Monitor  pDR-1000 Real-Time Aerosol Monitor 2.1 Application PIDs and FIDs are used to detect organic vapors during drilling and sampling activities. They are broad band detectors and are not selective, as the PID may ionize or oxidize, respectively, everything with an ionization energy less than or equal to the lamp output, and the FID will combust everything that is organic in nature. The PID will be used to guide sample collection, and determine if drilling activities should be stopped for health and safety purposes (action levels are provided in Section 6b). The multi-gas meter measures LEL, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide. This meter should be used for confined space entry and also should be used to monitor the borehole and breathing zone during drilling activities and during tank inspections/closures to detect combustible gas leaks. The dataRAMs measure particulates in the air and should be used for any intrusive activities that may generate dust and as part of community air monitoring plans. SOP-FS-04 Air Monitoring HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 2.2 Detection Method The first application of photoionization detection was as a gas chromatography (GC) ion detector. In a PID, high-energy photons, typically in the ultraviolet (UV) range, break molecules into positively charged ions. As compounds elute from the GC's column they are bombarded by high-energy photons and are ionized when molecules absorb high energy UV light. UV light excites the molecules, resulting in temporary loss of electrons in the molecules and the formation of positively charged ions. The gas becomes electrically charged and the ions produce an electric current, which is the signal output of the detector. The greater the concentration of the component, the more ions are produced, and the greater the current. The current is amplified and displayed on an ammeter. It is widely held that the ions recombine after passing the detector to reform their original molecules, however only a small portion of the airborne analytes are ionized to begin with so the practical impact of this (if it occurs) is probably negligible. The operation of the FID is based on the detection of ions formed during combustion of organic compounds in a hydrogen flame. The generation of these ions is proportional to the concentration of organic species in the sample gas stream. Hydrocarbons generally have molar response factors that are equal to number of carbon atoms in their molecule, while oxygenates and other species that contain heteroatoms tend to have a lower response factor. Multi-gas meter uses a catalytic style sensor to measure combustible gases in the LEL range and a thermal conductivity sensor to measure combustible gases in the percent volume range. DataRAM is a nephelometric monitor with a light scattering sensing configuration that measures the fine particle fraction of airborne dust, smoke, fumes, and mists 2.3 Limitations The signal produced by a PID may be quenched when measuring in high humidity environments, or when a compound such as methane is present at high concentrations. This attenuation is due to the ability of water, methane, and other compounds with high ionization potential (IP) values to absorb the photons emitted by the UV lamp without leading to the production of ion current. This reduces the number of energetic photons available to ionize target analytes. Compounds with an IP greater than 10.6 eV will either provide a limited response or no response. Compounds such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane (IP=11.25 eV) provides a limited response and if needed, would require an upgrade to an 11.7 eV lamp (see attachment for a list of IPs and instrument responses). The proper collection of VOCs is also affected by high winds. All electronic instruments should be protected during inclement weather or around water. SOP-FS-04 Air Monitoring HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 The FID will combust all organic compounds including methane, which may give a false reading especially when monitoring landfills (a methane filter should be used). Similarly, the FID will only give an overall sense of the relative concentration of organics present. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are not detectable by an FID. The multi-gas meter will only read with 100% accuracy the gas that was used for calibration. DataRAMs measure particulates; too much moisture in the air can have an adverse impact on the levels that are measured. DataRAMs are sensitive to select range of particle sizes; the appropriate meter needs to be chosen to meet the needs of the project or plan. 3.0 Procedure The manuals for each unit being used for a specific-project shall be attached to this SOP and will provide an overview of the operation, calibration, and maintenance for air monitoring equipment. 3.1 Testing and Calibration Procedures 1. Ensure that the unit has been fully charged. 2. Turn unit on. 3. At the start of each day’s activities, and as appropriate during the day, and at the end of the day’s activities, check the calibration by performing a calibration response verification check. 4. Complete a fresh air (0 ppm) check and a standard gas (provided by the rental company) check. The reading must be within ±10% of gas concentration. If not, perform a full calibration as described in the manuals. 3.2 Field Measurement Procedures 1. Turn on the unit. 2. Allow the unit to go through the standard menu of automatic “checks”, if applicable. 3. Follow the procedures in 3.1 (Testing and Calibration Procedures). 4. Record all information in the field log book and log sheet. a. Record ambient readings in the log book. b. Record core and other readings in the log book. SOP-FS-04 Air Monitoring HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 5. Position the probe assembly close to the area to be monitored (boring or well). Do not immerse the probe tip in liquid. 6. During drilling and monitoring well installation activities, confined space entry, tank inspection/closure activities, etc. air monitoring readings will be measured at the borehole (or investigation point) and in the breathing zone. Air sampling for particulates should be measured within the area of investigation and upwind/downwind. Readings will also be measured during sample collection (e.g., to guide appropriate soil sample intervals to be collected, see Headspace Screening Method, and prior to opening monitoring wells). 3.3 Headspace Screening Method The following steps will be taken to field-screen VOCs in soil samples: 1. Immediately upon opening the split-spoon or acetate liner and after collecting the VOC sample, collect a representative portion of soil sample and place in a clean, unpreserved wide mouth glass jar. The sample will be placed in a new, clean plastic sandwich bag inside the jar to minimize the number of new jars required. When using this method, readings will be taken from inside empty bags to ensure no external contamination has been introduced. 2. If the volume of sample recovered is insufficient for all analytical requirements, then the material used for the headspace reading will be used for non-volatile sampling (i.e., geotechnical sampling). Any leftover soil will be added to the drums for each respective boring and disposed in accordance with the SOP for Investigation-Derived Waste. 3. The mouth of the jar will be sealed with one continuous sheet of aluminum foil (shiny side out). The foil shall cover the mouth of the jar tightly and the jar lid will be used to secure the foil. 4. Vigorously agitate the sample jar for at least fifteen seconds and then allow a minimum of ten minutes for the sample to adequately volatilize. 5. During cold weather, the samples will be warmed to room temperature prior to taking the headspace measurement. 6. Re-shake the jar and then removed the jar lid. Quickly insert the vapor sampling probe through the aluminum foil and record the maximum meter response (within the first two to five seconds). Erratic responses will be SOP-FS-04 Air Monitoring HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 evaluated in terms of high organic vapor concentrations or conditions of elevated headspace moisture. 7. Record headspace reading data and ambient background readings on the boring log and in the field book as appropriate. 3.4 Variables Affecting Outdoor Air Monitoring See Limitations. For areas of high methane, a methane filter can be applied. For high winds, a windblock (body or vehicle) should be used to reduce the effect of the wind. High humidity will be reduced using the supplied vapor filter. These should be replaced monthly unless the filter becomes clogged, or weekly in highly humid conditions. 4.0 References None 5.0 Attachments (to be added as needed on a project-specific basis to reflect the actual meter being used in the field; obtain the manual from the rental company or online) Photoionization Characteristics of Selected Compounds MiniRae 2000 Manual PE Photovac Micro FID Manual MultiRAE PLUS Gas Monitor Manual DR-4000 DataRAM Real-Time Aerosol Monitor Manual pDR-1000 Real-Time Aerosol Monitor Manual SOP-FS-05 Decontamination HDR Engineering, Inc.

Drill equipment cleaning activities will be conducted on a decontamination pad, which will be constructed on-site by the drilling subcontractor for the field investigation in the site staging area. The decontamination pad will consist of a wooden frame, lined with plastic sheeting and sloped or configured to drain to one corner, where a sump will be constructed. Decontamination water will be pumped and disposed. 3.2 Decontamination of Non-disposable Sampling Equipment Decontamination of non-disposable sampling equipment used to collect samples for chemical analyses (i.e., spoons/trowels, bowls, carbon-steel split-spoon samplers, etc.) will be conducted prior to each sampling use as described below. Larger items may be decontaminated at the decontamination pad. Smaller items may be decontaminated over 5-gallon buckets. Wastewater will be disposed. 1. Alconox detergent and potable water will be used to scrub the equipment. 2. Equipment will be first rinsed with potable water and then rinsed with distilled/deionized water. 3. Equipment will be air dried on plastic sheeting. 4. After drying, exposed ends of equipment will be wrapped or covered with aluminum foil for transport and handling. 3.3 Decontamination of Field Instrumentation Field instrumentation (such as interface probes, water quality meters, etc.) will be decontaminated between sample locations by rinsing with deionized water. If visible contamination still exists on the equipment after the rinse, an Alconox detergent scrub will be added and the probe thoroughly rinsed again. Decontamination of probes and meters will take place in a 5-gallon bucket. The decontamination water will be handled and disposed. 3.4 Decontamination of Groundwater Sampling Equipment Non-disposable groundwater sampling equipment, including the pump, support cable and electrical wires in contact with the sample will be thoroughly decontaminated as described below: SOP-FS-05 Decontamination HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1. As a pre-rinse, the pump will be operated in a deep basin containing 8 to 10 gallons of potable water. Other equipment will be flushed with potable water. 2. The pump will be washed by operating it in a deep basin containing phosphate detergent solution, such as Alconox, and other equipment will be flushed with a fresh detergent solution. Detergent will be used sparingly, as needed. 3. Afterwards, the pump will be rinsed by operating it in a deep basin of potable water and other equipment will be flushed with potable water. 4. The pump will then be disassembled and washed in a deep basin containing non-phosphate detergent solution. All pump parts will be scrubbed with a test tube brush. 5.

Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. 2.0 Equipment & Materials  Air Rotary drill rig fitted for dual percussion or an ODEX-type casing advancement drilling  Rock coring enabled drill rig  30-yard roll-off dumpster 3.0 Procedure 3.1 Air Rotary Drilling 1. Mobilize drill equipment to the borehole location. 2. Set up IDW management. Driller should install diverter at deck of drill rig to divert cuttings from the borehole to a containment vessel (typically 30-yard dumpster) via hose. 3. Drill 9.875-inch borehole through overburden to the bedrock surface. Dual pneumatic percussion rotary or an ODEX-type casing system will be used to minimize the potential for borehole collapse. 4. Install temporary steel casing in borehole. 5. Continue drilling with 6-inch air hammer ten feet into competent bedrock. 6. Install permanent 6-inch casing 10 feet into competent bedrock and grout in place from bottom of the borehole to land surface. Wait 24 hours for grout to harden before continuing to drill in bedrock. 7. Continue drilling with 6-inch air hammer to desired depth, and/or rock coring equipment (Section 3.2). 8. If using air rotary, collect drill cuttings every 10 feet, or project-specific intervals, and note material present, color, odors, etc. 9. Note any fractures (especially water bearing fractures) and changes in blown yield. SOP-FS-09 Bedrock Drilling HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue DateJuly 2015 10. Estimate blown yield during the drilling. 11. Monitor breathing zone and borehole for air contaminants. 3.2 Rock Coring and Matrix Diffusion Sampling 1. Advance boring to bedrock. Conduct bedrock coring using a HQ-size core barrel, which produces a 5-foot long by 2.5 inch diameter core. Use a triple- tube core barrel to minimize disturbance to the core. 2. Instruct the drilling subcontractor personnel to place the recovered rock core in aluminum foil-lined poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) trays out of direct sunlight and windy conditions to minimize volatilization of organic contaminants, so that the cores can be logged and sampled for chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). Minimize the time between recovery of the rock cores and sampling as much as possible to reduce potential for minimize volatilization of CVOCs. 3. Inspect the recovered core for rock core sample locations based on lithology, presence of fractures, bedding plane partings, and evidence for groundwater and/or DNAPL fluid flow. Record all observations in the core log. 4. Photograph each core before proceeding with sampling. 5. Determine sampling locations based on fracture distributions and lithology. Samples will be collected both from the fractures and the intervening unfractured rock matrix. 6. Samples collected for VOC analysis will be processed on site (trimmed to remove the outer portion of the sample impacted by coring, crushed, and transferred into pre-preserved [methanol-filled] extraction vials). Samples will be crushed using an Enerpac™ or comparable system capable of generating approximately 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. The CVOC samples will be analyzed on-Site by the subcontractor. 7. Rock crushing and sampling activities will be conducted by a specialty subcontractor and follow procedures outlined in Protocol for Collecting and Analyzing Rock Core Samples for Volatile Organic Chemical Concentrations and Physical Property Measurements (Parker et al, 2005). 8. Following the collection of the CVOC samples, samples for physical characterization and total organic carbon (TOC) will be collected. 9. After completion of the sampling, the remainder of the core will be transferred into wooden core boxes . Ensure that boxes are labeled with borehole SOP-FS-09 Bedrock Drilling HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue DateJuly 2015 location, and start and end depths of each run with blocks separating the runs. Artificial breaks for fitting purposes are typically marked on the core. 10. Photograph each core box with the core run identification clearly indicated. 11. Record the following observations of the coring process and the recovered rock core in the field logbook: • The coring run length; • The total recovery (the recovered core length divided by the total run length expressed in percentage); • A description of the rock, including lithology and texture, color, hardness, weathering, structural discontinuities, and local geologic names; • Information on fracture frequency, fracture fit, fracture spacing, fracture orientation, and odors/discoloration; and • The Rock Quality Designation (RQD) value (the sum of all unbroken sections of core greater than or equal to 4 inches in length divided by the total run length, expressed in percentage). • The coring rate will be measured and recorded in the field logbook. Rate will be measured in feet per minute or feet per hour, whichever is applicable. • Loss or gain of drilling fluid will be monitored and recorded in the field logbook. • Change in color, odor, or character of drilling fluid will be documented in the field logbook. 3.3 Borehole Protection Surface runoff or other fluids will not be allowed to enter any boring or well during or after drilling/construction. Likewise, fluids generated during drilling (e.g. purged groundwater) will be contained in the work area during installation of borings and not allowed to runoff onto surrounding areas. The drill rig and associated equipment will be maintained in good working order and will not be allowed to leak fluids in the work area. 3.4 Materials from Field Activities All drill cuttings and related wastes will be handled in accordance with site-specific procedures. 3.5 Borehole Abandonment Upon completion of the boring if a permanent groundwater monitoring well is not installed and completed, the borehole will be grouted with cement-bentonite grout. SOP-FS-09 Bedrock Drilling HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue DateJuly 2015 Note: no grease will be used. Decontamination of the drilling equipment will be performed in accordance with the SOP for Decontamination. All disturbance (such as ruts from equipment, tracks etc.) as a result of the investigation work will be backfilled and repaired to pre-investigation conditions. 4.0 References None 5.0 Attachments None SOP-FS-14 Groundwater Level Measurements HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1.0 Purpose & Application The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to describe the protocol for measuring water level and well-depths in conventional monitoring wells. In this SOP, the term “well” is used to designate both wells and piezometers. Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook 2.0 Equipment & Materials  Water-level/Interface Indicator with cable measured at 0.01 foot increments  Plastic sheeting  Folding ruler or pocket steel tape  Field logbook  Photoionization detector (PID)  Squirt bottle with DI water and paper towel  5 gallon bucket 3.0 Procedure The steps will be followed to complete groundwater level measurements in wells. 3.1 Preliminary Steps 1. The batteries of the water level/interface indicator will be checked each time the instrument is used and the indicator will be maintained, inspected, and tested in accordance with the manual. 2. All measurements and observations will be maintained in the field logbook. 3. Locate the well and verify its position on the site map. Record whether positive identification was obtained, including the well number and any identifying marks or codes contained on the well casing or protective casing. Remove the well cap and check for organic vapors using a PID. 4. Locate and record the specified benchmark or survey point for the well, which may be a mark at the top of the casing or surveyors pin embedded in the protective structure. Determine from the well records and record in the field logbook the elevation of this point. Measure and record the vertical distance from the bench mark to the top of the well casing, to the nearest 0.01 feet. Measure and record the metal casing stick-up (the distance between the top of the casing and nominal ground (level). SOP-FS-14 Groundwater Level Measurements HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 5. Record any observations and remarks regarding the completion characteristics and well condition, such as evidence of cracked casing or surface seals, security of the well (locked cap), and evidence of tampering. 6. Keep all equipment and supplies protected from contamination and on top of plastic sheeting, where applicable. Keep the water level indicator probe in its protective case when not in use. 3.2 Operation 1. Remove the water level indicator probe from the case, turn on the sounder, and test check the battery and sensitivity scale by pushing the red button. Adjust the sensitivity scale until you can hear the buzzer. 2. Slowly lower the probe and cable into the well, allowing the cable reel to unwind. Continue lowering until the meter buzzes. Very slowly, raise and lower the probe until the point is reached where the meter just begins to buzz. Marking the spot by grasping the cable with the thumb and forefingers at the top of the casing, withdraw the cable and record the depth. 3. If LNAPL is present, the interface probe will intermittently beep at the top of the product. 4. Record this depth in the field logbook. 5. Continue to lower the probe until the solid buzz is heard, which is the water level/ LNAPL interface. Record this depth in the field logbook and/or sampling data sheet. 6. To measure the well depth, lower the probe until slack is noted in the cable. Very slowly raise and lower the cable until the exact bottom of the well is "felt." Measure and record the depth. 7. Withdraw the cable and probe, and decontaminate in accordance with the SOP for Decontamination. 8. Decontamination water will be managed in accordance with Investigation- Derived Waste SOP. 3.3 Data Recording and Manipulation The following computations will be recorded in the field logbook:  casing elevation = bench mark elevation + casing stick-up  top of product elevation = casing elevation - depth to product  thickness of product = depth to water – depth to product  water level elevation = casing elevation - depth to water well SOP-FS-14 Groundwater Level Measurements HDR Engineering, Inc.

Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1.0 Purpose & Application The purpose of the low stress purging and sampling procedure is to collect groundwater samples from monitoring wells that are representative of groundwater conditions in the geological formation. This is accomplished by minimizing stress on the geological formation, minimizing disturbance of sediment that has collected in the well, and by setting the intake velocity of the sampling pump to a flow rate that limits drawdown inside the well casing. Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. For newly installed wells, after development, the wells will be allowed to stabilize for a minimum of two weeks prior to sampling. 2.0 Equipment & Materials • Well construction data, location map, field data from last sampling event (if applicable) • Clean polyethylene sheeting • Photo Ionization Detector (PID) • Clean, decontaminated adjustable rate, positive displacement groundwater sampling pump (e.g., bladder pumps constructed of stainless steel). • Clean, decontaminated bladder pump • Clean, factory wrapped polyethylene tubing • Clean, decontaminated Water level measuring device/interface probe, minimum 0.01 foot accuracy, (electronic preferred for tracking water level drawdown during all pumping operations) • Flow measurement supplies (e.g., graduated cylinder and stop watch or in- line flow meter) • Power source (generator, etc.)Note: If a generator or vehicle is used, these should be down wind with the exhaust facing away from the equipment. • Clean, decontaminated Horiba U-22 or U-52, for measuring indicator parameters • Decontamination supplies • Logbook • Sample bottles • Sample tags or labels, chain of custody SOP-FS-15 Groundwater Sampling (Low Stress Purge Procedure) HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 3.0 Procedure 3.1 Pre-Sampling Activities The following steps will be performed prior to sampling: 1. Start at the well known or believed to have the least contaminated groundwater and proceed systematically to the well with the most contaminated groundwater. Measure VOCs at the rim of the unopened well with a PID instrument and record the reading in the field logbook. Check the well, the lock, and the locking cap for damage or evidence of tampering. Record observations. If the PID reading is > 5 ppm in the breathing zone, vacate the area for 30 minutes. Check the readings until < 1 ppm in the breathing zone. 2. Lay out a sheet of polyethylene for placement of monitoring and sampling equipment. 3. Remove well cap. 4. If the well casing does not have a reference point (usually a V-out or indelible mark in the well casing), make one. Note that the reference point will be surveyed in accordance with the Site Location and Elevation Survey SOP, for correction of groundwater elevations to the 1988 North American Vertical Datum (NAVD88). 5. Measure and record the depth to water (to 0.01 ft.) in all wells to be sampled prior to purging. Follow the procedures provided in the Groundwater Level Measurements SOP. Care will be taken to minimize disturbance in the water column and dislodging of any particulate matter attached to the sides or settled at the bottom of the well. 6. Prior to purging, determine the presence of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) at the top and bottom of the water column. Follow the procedures provided in the Groundwater Level Measurements SOP. When turbidity is a concern and DNAPLs are suspected, the depth of the well will not be measured prior to purging and sampling. Well volumes, where needed, will be calculated based on as-built depths and the bottom of the actual depth will be measured upon completion of sampling activities. 3.2 Sampling Procedures Special care will be taken not to contaminate samples. This includes storing samples in a secure location to preclude conditions which could alter the properties of the sample. Samples will be custody sealed for shipment to the laboratory. Collected samples will remain in iced, coolers (to 4°C) and in the custody of the sampler or sample custodian until the samples are relinquished to another party. A clean pair of new, non-powdered, disposable gloves will be worn each time a different location is sampled. Gloves will be donned immediately prior to sampling. SOP-FS-15 Groundwater Sampling (Low Stress Purge Procedure) HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 The gloves will not be allowed to come into contact with the media being sampled and will be changed any time during sample collection when their cleanliness is compromised. The following steps will be performed during sampling: 1. Install Pump: Attach and secure the tubing to the low-flow stainless steel submersible bladder pump. Set the pump at approximately the middle of the screen and/or the best depth based on the stratigraphy of the well. The pump intake will be kept at least two (2) feet above the bottom of the well to prevent disturbance and re-suspension of any sediment present in the bottom of the well. Record the depth to which the pump is lowered and the rationale used in selecting this depth. 2. Measure Water Level: Before starting the pump, measure the water level again with the pump in the well. Leave the water level measuring device in the well. 3. Purge Well: Purge the well at a low flow rate (from 0.2 to 0.5 liters per minute). During purging, monitor the field indicator parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity, specific conductivity, eH, and DO) approximately every 3 to 5 minutes. A flow-through cell will be used to monitor the field parameters. Begin measuring field parameters after the flow-through cell has been “flushed” with groundwater twice (See Section 3.3). Ideally, a steady flow rate will be maintained that results in a stabilized water level (drawdown of 0.3 ft. or less). Pumping rates will, if needed, be reduced to the minimum capabilities of the pump (0.1 to 0.2 liters per minute) to ensure stabilization of the water level. As noted above, care will be taken to maintain pump suction and to avoid entrainment of air in the tubing. Record each adjustment made to the pumping rate and the water level measured immediately after each adjustment. 4. Monitor Indicator Parameters: During purging of the well, monitor and record the field indicator parameters in the field logbook approximately every five minutes. The well is considered stabilized and ready for sample collection when the indicator parameters have stabilized for three consecutive readings, as follows: ± 1°C for temperature ± 0.1 for pH ± 0.01 mS/cm or ± 3 percent (whichever is less) for specific conductance ± 0.3 mg/l or ± 10 percent (whichever is less) for dissolved oxygen ± 10 percent for turbidity ± 10 mV or ± 10 percent (whichever is less) for Eh 5. Dissolved oxygen and turbidity usually require the longest time to achieve stabilization. Ideally an attempt will be made to purge until SOP-FS-15 Groundwater Sampling (Low Stress Purge Procedure) HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 turbidity drops below 10 NTU, but this is not a requirement. Removal of a specific volume of water is also not required, provided all water quality parameters are stable as noted above. The pump will not be removed from the well between purging and sampling. 6. Wells will not be purged dry, which can cause aeration as groundwater cascades back into the well. Water table wells with slow recharge that result in significant drawdown (greater than 0.33 feet) while purging at the lowest possible rate, will be pumped at a rate between 0.1 to 0.2 liters per minute for a minimum of one hour, unless drawdown exceeds 2 feet. If a drawdown greater than 2 feet occurs in a water table well, purging will be stopped to allow the well to recover before sampling. 7. Pertinent sampling measurements including intake depth, extraction rate, final pump dial settings, and drawdown information from the sampling event for each well will be recorded in the field book. During subsequent sampling events, these measurements will be duplicated to the extent practicable. 8. During purging and sampling, the tubing will remain filled with water so as to minimize possible changes in water chemistry upon contact with the atmosphere. A ¼ inch or 3/8 inch diameter tubing will be utilized, where practicable, to help insure that the sample tubing remains water filled. If the tubing is not completely filled to the sampling point, one of the following procedures will be used: (1) add clamp, connector or valve to constrict sampling end of tubing; (2) insert small diameter Teflon tubing into water filled portion of pump tubing allowing the end to protrude beyond the end of the pump tubing, collect sample from small diameter tubing; (3) collect VOC samples first, then increase the flow rate slightly until the water completely fills the tubing, collect non- VOC samples and record new drawdown, flow rate and new indicator field parameter values. 9. Collect Samples: Once the field parameters have stabilized, samples will be immediately collected directly from the end of the tubing. The pumping rate will remain the same or lower than the purging rate to minimize aeration, bubble formation, or turbulent filling of sample containers. Volatiles and analyses that degrade by aeration will be collected first. In the event that a well has poor recovery, priority for sample collection should be determined based on the project requirements. VOC samples will be collected first and directly into sample containers. All sample containers will be filled with minimal turbulence by allowing the groundwater to flow from the tubing gently down the inside of the container. Each bottle will be capped once it is filled. 10. The filling procedures will be:  TCL VOCs - Fill each container with sample to just overflowing. The vial will be filled so that there is a reverse or convex meniscus at the top of the vial and such that no bubbles or headspace are present in the vial SOP-FS-15 Groundwater Sampling (Low Stress Purge Procedure) HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 after it is capped. After the cap is securely tightened, the vial will be inverted and tapped on the palm of one hand to see if any undetected bubbles are dislodged. If a bubble or bubbles are present, the vial will be topped off using a minimal amount of sample to re-establish the meniscus. Care will be taken to not flush any preservative out of the vial during topping off. If, after topping off and capping the vial, bubbles are still present, a new vial will be obtained and the sample re-collected.  Other Parameters - Fill each container directly from the sample tubing. 11. Pack samples according to the Sample Packing SOP. 12. Carefully remove the pump assembly from the well. The Teflon-lined polyethylene tubing will be dedicated to each well. The tubing will be left in the well casing for use on subsequent sampling events. When subsequent sampling events are not expected, the tubing will be discarded as municipal waste. 13. After sampling is complete, measure and record well depth. 14. Close and lock the well. 15. Purge water will be handled on a project-specific basis. 3.3 Field Parameter Measurement The following steps will be used to evaluate water quality during monitoring well and surface water sampling: 1) Calibrate the water quality meter as per manufacturer’s instructions prior to the sampling each day. If the meter does not calibrate properly, contact the rental company for a replacement. 2) For low stress purging of the monitoring wells: • Position the water quality meter probe in the flow-through cell. Attach the flow-through cell to the tubing. Attach a separate piece of tubing between the “out” port and the 5 gallon bucket or other purge water collection vessel. • After the cell has been “flushed” at least twice, begin monitoring the field parameters, and continue approximately every 3 to 5 minutes during purging. All water quality measurements will be recorded in the appropriate field logbook or on a well purge data sheet. • When the indicator parameters have, the well is considered stabilized and ready for sample collection. Remove the flow-through cell from the tubing. 3) Decontaminate the probe of the water quality meter between locations in accordance with the SOP for Decontamination. 4) Record water quality measurements in the appropriate field logbook/data sheets, noting well identification or surface water location, sample date and time, and observations.

Overburden Borehole: drilling for the installation of monitoring wells will be completed in accordance with Hollow Stem Auger Drilling SOP. The borehole will be completed using a 4.25-inch inside diameter hollow stem augers which will provide sufficient diameter to permit at least two inches of annular space between the boring wall and the sides of the riser and screen. 2. Bedrock Borehole: drilling for the installation of monitoring wells will be completed in accordance with Bedrock Drilling SOP. A borehole will be drilled through the overburden and to the bedrock surface. A temporary steel casing will then be installed. The borehole will be completed using a 6-inch air hammer or other method specified in the Bedrock Drilling SOP. The borehole will then be advanced ten feet into bedrock and a permanent 6-inch steel casing will be installed and grouted into place. After curing, the borehole will be drilled to the target depth as specified in the Bedrock Drilling SOP. 3.3 Monitoring Well Materials Specifications and Design Standard monitoring well materials (10-slot screen and 10 x 20 silica sand filter pack) will be used unless otherwise required for the project. All screens, casing, and fittings will be delivered to the site in factory sealed protective wrapping. In the event that the protective wrapping has been compromised, the well materials will be decontaminated at the site and wrapped in plastic sheeting until installed. 3.3.1 Well Riser Well riser will consist of Schedule 40 PVC. PVC pipe will be new, threaded, flush joint, and conform to the requirements of ASTM F 480. Threaded flush-joint couplings with chemically inert O-rings, to form watertight unions, will join casing sections. A single spring type stainless steel centralizer will be attached to the riser pipe approximately mid-point of the borehole. Adhesives or solvents will not be used SOP-FS-16 Monitoring Well Installation, Completion & Development HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 to join the casing sections. Teflon tape on threaded joints, if used, will be noted on the well construction log. No lead shot or lead wool will be employed in producing seals at any point in the well. 3.3.2 Well Screen Well screens will consist of flush-threaded, 2-inch diameter (nominal size), Schedule 40 PVC with factory machined 0.010 inch size screen slotting (10-slot). All screens will have a flush threaded bottom cap. The screen material will be non- contaminating, non-clogging design. All screen sections will be threaded, flush joint design. Unless otherwise required by the project, the screen length will be ten feet, installed five feet into the water table, which will allow for normal, seasonal fluctuations in the water table elevation so that monitoring will be possible throughout an average year. For wells completed to bedrock, the bottom ten feet of each well will be screened. Sediment traps (sumps, tailpipe) will not be used below the screened portion in monitoring wells unless specifically called for by the project requirements. Field-slotted screen will not be used. 3.3.3 Filter Pack The annular space around the well screen will be backfilled with clean, washed, well- rounded silica sand sized to perform as a filter between the formation material and the well screen. Certified clean silica sand (10 x 20) compatible with 10-slot well screen and the aquifer materials will be used in the filter pack around the well screen. The grain size of the filter pack that is used will be included on the well construction log. The filter pack material will be tremied into place to avoid bridging and ensure a continuous filter pack throughout the screened interval of the well. The filter pack will extend approximately 1 foot below, and 3 to 5 feet above the well screen. Relative depths and thicknesses will be recorded in the field logbook. 3.3.4 Bentonite Seal A 3 to 5 foot thick bentonite seal will be placed in the annular space above the well screen and filter pack sand. The seal will be composed of commercially manufactured, solvent-free, sodium-bentonite pellets. Bentonite pellets will not exceed one-half inch diameter. Where the bentonite seal is positioned above the water table, the bentonite will be installed in 1-foot lifts with each hydrated a minimum of 30 minutes between lifts before proceeding. Clean, potable water will be added to hydrate the bentonite. After the placement of the final lift, the bentonite seal will be allowed to hydrate a minimum of an additional two hours or until HDR’s field geologist is confident the seal will function as designed before grouting begins. The bentonite seal will be placed immediately after installing the filter pack. Relative depths and thicknesses will be recorded in the field logbook. SOP-FS-16 Monitoring Well Installation, Completion & Development HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 3.3.5 Annular Seal - Grout Cement grout will be placed above the bentonite seal to the ground surface. The cement grout will consist of a mixture of Portland cement (ASTM C 150) and water in the proportion of not more than 7 gallons of approved water per bag of cement (94 pounds). Additionally, 3 to 5 percent by weight of sodium bentonite powder will be added. Grout will be placed by pumping through a side discharging tremie pipe with the lower end of the tremie pipe located within 3 feet of the top of the bentonite seal. Pumping will continue until undiluted grout flows from the boring at the ground surface. The annular seal will be placed within 48 hours, but no sooner than two hours after the final lift of the bentonite seal installation. Prior to surface completion, the grout annular seal will be filled to design elevation. 3.4 Monitoring Well Completion Each monitoring well installed will be completed in accordance with the following procedure: 1. A fitting cap will be installed to prevent material from entering the well. 2. Stick-up Well Completion – the well riser will be surrounded by a larger diameter protective non-corrosive steel or aluminum casing rising 2 to 3 feet above ground level and set an equal distance below the ground surface into the cement grout backfill. The casing will be installed in a manner that does not hinder access to the monitoring well for purposes of cap removal, sample collection or water level measurements. The north side of the casing will be notched as a reference point for horizontal and vertical control and for groundwater measurements. The outside protective casing will be painted blaze orange. 4. The protective casing will be provided with a locking cap and lock. The cap will be designed to prevent water from entering the protective casing. All locks will be brass and keyed alike. 5. A concrete (cement, aggregate and water) pad, 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 inches thick (minimum), sloped away from the well will be constructed around the well casing with the top outer edge at the final ground level elevation. 6. A weep hole of 1/8 inch diameter will be drilled into the outer protective casing within three inches above the pad to permit drainage of fluids that may accumulate. 7. Flush-Mount Well Completion – a flush mounted manhole protective casing will be installed over the PVC well casing. The north side of the casing will be notched as a reference point for horizontal and vertical control and for groundwater measurements. The collar of the manhole will be filled with SOP-FS-16 Monitoring Well Installation, Completion & Development HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 sand as a weep for accumulated rainwater. The manhole will be set in a concrete pad as described in step 5 above and the pad will be sloped from the center to direct drainage away from the well. 3.5 Monitoring Well Development Each monitoring well will be developed within one week but not less than 48 hours after completion in accordance with the following procedure: 1. Development will a) assure that groundwater enters the well screen freely, thus yielding a representative groundwater sample and an accurate water level measurement b) remove 3 to 5 times the well volume and volume introduced or lost during drilling and well installation, c) remove very fine- grained sediment in the filter pack and nearby formation so that groundwater samples are not highly turbid and so that silting of the well does not occur. 2. Development will consist of alternating cycles of mechanical surging and pumping or bailing until little or no sediment enters the well. 3. Well development will continue for a minimum of 2 hours. Sediment that enters the well during this time will be removed. At the end of this time, the well will be continuously pumped using an electric submersible pump (i.e., Whale pump). 4. Temperature, pH, specific conductivity, and turbidity will be monitored during pumping (one reading per well volume). Pumping will continue until these parameters have stabilized (10 percent change for the other parameters between four consecutive readings) and the water is clear and free of fines. If the parameters do not stabilize after 4 hours of continuous pumping, then the Project Manager should be contacted for further instruction based on the project requirements. 5. If the addition of water is required to facilitate surging and pumping/bailing, only formation water from the well shall be used. If this is not practical due to tightness of the formation then only bailing will be done. 6. In all cases, the utmost care will be taken to not collapse well screens during development activities and at least 3 times the water introduced or lost during drilling shall be removed from each well. 7. The entire well cap and interior of the well casing above the water table will be washed using water from the well. This will be conducted during development, not after development is complete. Washing will not be performed if free phase contamination is present. 8. Well Development records shall be recorded in the field logbook and include the following information: SOP-FS-16 Monitoring Well Installation, Completion & Development HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 a. Name of project and site, well ID number and date b.

Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 1.0 Purpose & Application The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to describe procedures to record and analyze measurements of physical properties in wells or boreholes. Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. 2.0 Equipment & Materials The following equipment and materials will be used for downhole geophysics:  Static water level meter  Multi-parameter logging tool  Gamma ray apparatus  Camera apparatus  Wireline cable  Field logbook 3.0 Procedure 1. Secure system drawworks so that it will not move during the logging process. 2. Measure the static water level in the borehole and sound the bottom of the borehole, referencing each measured depth to the surface reference point (i.e., top of overburden casing). 3. Attach system wireline cable to the multi-parameter (or spec tool to be used) and insert it into the borehole. 4. Align the collar, or point of connection between the wireline cable and the multi-parameter logging tool, with the surface reference point (i.e., top of overburden casing) prior to the logging of each borehole. The depth reference will be set to 0 on the computer of the logging system with the anticipation of accurate elevation of the surface reference point to be acquired and appended to the data at a later date (i.e., after surveying). 5. Set the logging direction on the drawworks to DOWN and begin to slowly acquire borehole geophysical data from the surface to depth in the borehole with the tool apparatus. Pay close attention to the cable speed while logging downhole. Once cable appears to go slack stop the drawworks and end data collection. SOP-FS-20 Downhole Geophysics HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: July 2015 6. Change logging direction on drawworks to UP and raise the tool until it hangs freely in the borehole. Reinitiate data collection and log the borehole from depth to the surface, decontaminating the wireline cable at the well head as it is withdrawn from the borehole. 7. Once collar has passed the surface reference point, stop the drawworks and end data collection. 8. Disconnect tool from cablehead, and decontaminate. 9. Attach gamma-ray probe to the cable and insert into the borehole. 10. Repeat Steps 3 through 8 for the gamma-ray apparatus. 11. Attach the video camera to the cable and insert into the borehole. 12. Repeat Steps 3 through 8 for the camera apparatus. 13. Record logging operations and other pertinent information for each borehole in the field logbook. 3.1 Decontamination Decontamination will be performed in accordance with the Decontamination SOP. 3.2 Materials from Field Activities All materials generated during field activities that are segregated as potentially contaminated will be handled in accordance with the Investigation-Derived Waste SOP. 4.0 References None 5.0 Attachments None SOP-FS-24 Packer Sampling 1.0 Procedure 1. Prior to placing the packer test equipment in the borehole, the static water level and total depth will be measured. All the equipment will be decontaminated as per Decontamination [Field Instrumentation] and Decontamination [Low Flow Groundwater Sampling Equipment] SOPs #6B and 7. 2. The packer assembly and the submersible pump will be lowered into the borehole straddling the upper-most zone to be tested. As the packer rods are being lowered, the length of each packer rod will be measured so that the packer depths may be accurately determined. 3. The packers will be inflated using the nitrogen pressure bottle. 4. Once the packers and related equipment are in place, the well interval will be purged. Each isolated fracture interval will be pumped at the maximum sustainable rate for a minimum of 15 minutes or until at least five borehole volumes (over the length of the test interval) plus the volume contained in the rod have been pumped. During purging, the total volume of extracted water will be recorded. If specified in the Work Plan, monitor potentiometric levels in other zones, e.g., above and below the packer interval, and in nearby wells. 5. After purging, collect water samples from the pump discharge. 6. Deflate the packers, lower and reposition the assembly in the next sampling interval. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until all selected intervals are sampled. 2.0 Materials and Equipment • A submersible pump (e.g., Grundfos Redi-Flo2 or other approved by EPA) to be located either between the two packers or inside the rod on the top of the packers; • Auxiliary sampling pump equipment, including electric power generator, converter and tubing of composition specified in the Work Plan; • One set of appropriately-sized pneumatic straddle packer apparatus separated by an adjustable, 5- to 20-foot length of galvanized perforated pipe (of a diameter adapted to that of the pump); • A nitrogen bottle and a 300-psi pressure regulator to inflate the packers; • Auxiliary equipment, such as tubing, valves, adaptors and rods (with diameter adapted to that of the pump); and • Transducers. SOP-FS-25 Investigation Derived Waste HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 1.0 Purpose & Application This document provides the basis, policy guidance and standard procedures for management of Investigation Derived Waste (IDW). Any variation from this SOP must be approved by the Project Manager prior to implementation and a description of the variance will be documented in the field logbook. HDR’s approach to IDW Management includes:  Leaving a site in no worse condition than existed prior to the investigation.  Removing wastes that pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment  Leaving on-site, wastes that do not require off-site disposal or extended aboveground containerization  Careful planning and coordination for IDW management  Minimizing the quantity of generated wastes All IDW, both hazardous and non-hazardous, should be kept to a minimum to conserve resources. Many of the non-hazardous personal protective equipment (PPE) and disposable equipment (DE) IDW may be disposed of in municipal dumpsters if care is taken to properly bag these items and to keep them segregated from hazardous waste. Contaminated PPE and DE can often be cleaned to render them non-hazardous by cleaning with water or aqueous based cleaner. Other waste minimization techniques will be used, such as:  Limiting traffic between “clean” and “contaminated areas”  Use of drilling methods and sampling techniques that generate a minimal amount of waste  Segregating hazardous waste from non-hazardous waste to prevent cross- contamination 2.0 Equipment & Materials Water tight containers for transporting and disposing of IDW will include:  New 55 gallon drums  Plastic garbage bags  Skid steer with drum grappler SOP-FS-25 Investigation Derived Waste HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 3.0 Procedure IDW includes: drill cuttings, purge water from development and sampling of monitoring wells; soil from collection of samples; PPE, solutions used to decontaminate non-disposable protective clothing and sampling equipment; and disposable equipment used during field investigation activities. 3.1 Materials from Field Activities All materials generated during field activities that are segregated as potentially contaminated will be placed in water-tight containers. 3.1.1 Drill Cuttings In general, unless gross contamination is observed, drill cuttings may be used as backfill at the sample site. In some instances, project or contract requirements may call for all material that have come into contact with contaminated or potentially contaminated material during sampling to be disposed as IDW. In this instance, all drill cuttings created during the installation of monitoring wells and soil borings will be collected in water-tight, new 55 gallon drums that are approved by DOT and EPA to transport waste and transported to the designated staging area. 3.1.2 Surface Water & Sediments Excess surface water and sediment material collected for sampling, will be released at the sample source. 3.1.3 Liquids Liquids generated during field activities (purge and decontamination water) in general may be released the ground surface, upgradient of the site, unless there is evidence of gross contamination (i.e., NAPL). In some instances, project or contract requirements may call for these materials to be disposed as IDW, regardless of the conditions at the sample site. Liquids will be placed in water-tight new 55-gallon drums that are approved by DOT and EPA to transport waste. 3.2 PPE & Decontamination Material Disposable sampling equipment (tubing, bladders, etc.) and disposable PPE will be placed in plastic garbage bags and managed as municipal solid waste. SOP-FS-25 Investigation Derived Waste HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014 3.3 Drum Labeling The following information will be placed on all drum labels and an inventory will be kept in the field logbook:  Type of material (i.e., purge water, development water)  Site number and location  Boring number (and depths for soils)  Contact information (i.e., HDR name, point of contact name, telephone number)  Date when the waste was first accumulated Labeling will be of a permanent nature, unaffected by exposure to outdoor elements for an extended period of time. Labels will be placed on the side of the drum and positioned to be easily viewed when drums are staged. IDW-Test Pending: Self adhesive, weather resistant, white background label material will be used. The size will be at least 6 x 6 inches. The words “IDW-Test Pending”, sample code date filled, and Project Manager’s name and telephone number will be written on the label. The label will be revised to reflect test results. 3.4 Storage IDW will be transferred to the site staging area at the end of each day and drums will be secured on wooden pallets. The pallets will be arranged to allow access between them for container inspection. The staging area will be secured within temporary fencing and gate with lock. IDW will be disposed of as soon as feasibly possible but will not be allowed to be on- site longer than 90 days. Until disposal, containers will be inventoried, stored as securely as possible, and inspected regularly, as a general good practice. 3.4.1 Drum Management  Staging are for drums will be lined with a plastic liner SOP-FS-25 Investigation Derived Waste HDR Engineering, Inc. Approved By: Revision Date: Rev No. 0 Issue Date: December 2014  Drums will be stored within the staging area upon completion of the sample location and at the end of each day  Drums will be transported from the sample location to the staging area by the drilling subcontractor utilizing a skid steer with drum grappler  Individual drums will be labeled per Section 3.3  Add IDW information to the field logbook  Drums will be stored within a fenced storage area  When drums are delivered or IDW is picked up by a waste hauling subcontractor, the activity will be noted in the field logbook 3.5 Waste profile IDW will be characterized for the analytes and frequency required by the disposal facility. Results from laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater samples collected during the field investigation will be utilized further to segregate contaminated and uncontaminated drummed materials. Drummed materials identified as clean will be disposed of as uncontaminated materials. 3.6 Disposal All waste generated during the field activities will be stored, transported, and disposed of according to applicable state, federal and local regulations. A licensed hauler will transport municipal solid waste material. HDR will coordinate a hauler to transport waste. Shipped waste will be disposed of in accordance with all RCRA/DOT/USEPA requirements. All waste manifests or bills of lading will be prepared by HDR in coordination with the disposal facility and will be signed by the generator/owner unless contractual requirements allow HDR to sign “as agent for”. 4.0 References 40 CFR 261-264 49 CFR 172 SOP-FS-25 Investigation Derived Waste HDR Engineering, Inc.

II SOP HW-32 Date: December, 2006 Rev. 6 Page 2 of 22 Overview Superfund’s Field and Analytical Services Teaming Advisory Committee (FASTAC) analytical services strategy requires Agency personnel to utilize a tiered decision tree for procuring Superfund analytical services for all non-time critical data collection projects. Region 2 has and continues to utilize that sequential decision tree for procuring Superfund analytical services. The decision tree is as follows: Tier 1: EPA Region 2 DESA laboratory (including ESAT support) Tier 2: National Analytical Services Contract Laboratories (CLP RAS and Non-RAS) Tier 3: Region Specific Analytical Services (SAS) Contract Laboratories Tier 4: Contractor, IAGs and Field Contractor Subcontract laboratories Region 2 has taken many steps to assure that the FASTAC process is being followed and that Regional and National laboratory resources are being utilized to the fullest extent by the Superfund program. Some of these steps include: 1. Centralization of all Superfund analytical services procurement activities through the Regional Sample Control Coordinator (RSCC). 2. Coordination between the RSCC and the Regional DESA laboratory. 3. Outreach/training on the FASTAC process and procuring analytical services to the Superfund Program Office on a regular basis. 4. Participation in annual (or more frequent as needed) meetings with Superfund field contractors and their EPA Project Officers to outline the FASTAC process and associated requirements . 5. Operation of a Regional non-RAS tracking database, in addition to the National Analytical Services Tracking System (ANSETS) database, to track what non-RAS analytical services are being provided by the Regional DESA laboratory and what is being subcontracted out. The Regional database and ANSETS are compared on a monthly basis to assure that the FASTAC sequential decision tree for procuring analytical services is being followed. The following is the step by step process by which the RSCC receives and processes RAS and non -RAS analytical requests. Region 2 Policy for Implementing the National Strategy for Procuring Analytical Services for all OSWER Programs (Superfund, RCRA, and Brownfields) USEPA REG. II SOP HW-32 Date: December, 2006 Rev. 6 Page 3 of 22 Definitions: Routine Analytical Services (RAS): Standard Target Compound List (TCL) (VOA/Semi-VOA/Pesticide/PCB Aroclors) and Target Analyte List (TAL) (metals and cyanide) Non-Routine Analytical Services (Non-RAS): All analytical services not considered as RAS as follows: 1. Non-RAS analytical services able to be performed using the CLP RAS contracts flex clause 2. Non-RAS National CLP methods (Dioxin, PCB Congener, Air, etc.) 3. All other Non-RAS Analytical Service Requestor: The EPA site Project Manager (OSC, RPM, etc.) or their designated representative (i.e., field contractor, State, Army Corp of Engineers, etc.). Process: RSCC Contact Information Jennifer Feranda: RSCC and CLP Project Officer, Non-RAS Contracts TOPO e-mail: feranda.jennifer@epa.gov ; phone# (732) 321-6687 Adly Michael: Primary RSCC, Database Coordinator, e-mail: Michael.adly@epa.gov; phone# (732) 906-6161 Robert Toth: RSCC, e-mail: toth.robert@epa.gov; phone# (732) 906-6171 The procurement of analytical services often starts with EPA PMs and/or their representatives contacting the RSCC to determine appropriate steps for procuring their analytical services and what documentation is required to submit these requests. The following steps delineate the process beginning with the RSCC’s receipt of the formal request for analytical services: 1. All analytical requests should be submitted to the RSCC at the earliest possible date. Requests for all Superfund analytical services, both RAS and Non-RAS, are submitted to the RSCC up to one week prior to the sampling event. It is strongly recommended that all requests for non -Routine services be submitted at least four (4) weeks prior to the actual sampling event.* All requests should be submitted to RSCC by noon Tuesday. Any requests submitted after noon on Tuesday may not be considered until the following week. 2. DESA supplies analytical service requestors with electronic vers ions of the following analytical request forms: “U.S. EPA Region 2 CLP Analytical Services Request Form” (Attachment 1) and “U.S. EPA Region 2 Laboratory Analysis Request Form” (Attachment 2). All requests and subsequent correspondence relating to the request for booking are required to be transmitted electronically via e- mail. All requests should be Region 2 Policy for Implementing the National Strategy for Procuring Analytical Services for all OSWER Programs (Superfund, RCRA, and Brownfields) USEPA REG. II SOP HW-32 Date: December, 2006 Rev. 6 Page 4 of 22 E-mailed to the RSCC, Adly Michael, with a cc: to Jennifer Feranda, and Robert Toth per the contact information provided above. This assures timely consideration of the analytical services request and serves as a Record of Communication (ROC) and the basis for hard copy documentation , as well as traceability for all requests being made. 3. Upon RSCC receipt of a request, a case folder is generated for that project. Hard copies of requests, ROC(s), additional e-mail and documentation relating to that case are placed in the file as they are received. 4. Upon receipt, analytical services requests are reviewed for completeness, accurate content, and confirmation of an approved (or approval pending) QAPP for the project. No analytical services will be scheduled without an approved QAPP. 5. Once requests have been reviewed for accuracy, completeness and QAPP status, they are submitted via e-mail to the DESA Lab. The DESA Lab holds booking meetings on Tuesday afternoons or Wednesday mornings to determine what projects (or portions thereof ) they can accommodate. 6. No later then noon of Wednesday following the submittal of the request, the DESA Lab responds to the RSCC as to what analytical services they will provide. All communications are done via e-mail in order to provide timely communication and a basis for a documented record. 7. When the RSCC receives the information from the DESA Lab as to what services they will provide, several things occur: a. For RAS requests that will not be conducted by the DESA laboratory, the information is entered into the Superfund Project Request System (SUPRS) to be processed through the CLP. SUPRS is a national web based database that provides regional information to the Sample Management Office (SMO) to enable them to procure the appropriate CLP laboratory for the services requested. b. For non-RAS samples the CLP Organic and Inorganic Program Managers (PM) (located in HQ- Analytical Services Branch [ASB]) are consulted to see if special analys es can be performed through the CLP RAS contract(s) using the contracts “Flexibility Clause”. If they can be analyzed through the CLP, RAS contract flex clause modifications are written by the PMs and requests are entered into SUPRS. c. Requests for Non-RAS national contracts (Dioxin, PCB Congener and Air analysis) are provide d to the DESA Non-RAS program Task Order Project Officer (TOPO) for processing. The TOPO will write a specific Task Order Request for each individual project and submit it to ASB and the HQ Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) Contracting Officer (CO) for review and to be offered for bid to contract labs under the National Non-RAS Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). Once the lab(s) come back with a bid price, a lab is selected by the OAM CO and a procurement is prepared by the Region to transfer funds Region 2 Policy for Implementing the National Strategy for Procuring Analytical Services for all OSWER Programs (Superfund, RCRA, and Brownfields) USEPA REG. II SOP HW-32 Date: December, 2006 Rev. 6 Page 5 of 22 in to the national Non-RAS contracts. Laboratory information and special instructions are forwarded, via-email, to the EPA PM and their sampling representative at the time the procurement is to be prepared. Analytical services can be initiated upon OAM’s receipt of the procurement. d. For non-RAS requests that can be accommodated by DESA and/or the CLP flex clause, the analytical service requestor will be notified of such and will be provided contact and delivery, as well as any special, instructions. e. For non-RAS requests that can not be accommodated through the DESA Lab , the CLP flex clause or the national Non-RAS program, the analytical services requestor is notified via e-mail that alternative means for analytical services will have to be obtained i.e., subcontract . 8. For work to be performed by the CLP for RAS and flexibility clause Non -RAS, SMO provides the RSCC, via e-mail, a Case number and laboratory assignments. 9. Once laboratory and case information are received from SMO (for CLP RAS and flex clause non-RAS), RSCC transmits this information, via e-mail to analytical services requestor. This information is transmitted via e-mail. 10. Two databases are maintained by the RSCC: a. Database #1: This database tracks all RAS, flexibility clause non-RAS, and national contract non-RAS which are analyzed through the DESA Laboratory and the CLP (this database tracks all information from the time the samples are booked through sampling, analysis, data validation, and archiving). RAS analyses performed by the DESA lab are entered into this database, but only to the point of sample scheduling by the DESA lab. All work done aft er the scheduling is tracked by the DESA lab. (Attachment 3) b. Database #2: This database tracks all other non-RAS analyses whether handled by the DESA laboratory or subcontracted out. It tracks non-RAS Superfund analytical work not tracked in Database #1(flex clause non-RAS and Non-RAS done through national contracts). The information in this database includes specifics about the project , the required analysis, number of samples, how those samples are analyzed (DESA vs. sub-contract lab), etc. (Attachment 4) By COB Friday of each week, all new projects and relevant information are entered into each database as appropriate. The databases are updated with new information as needed. 11. At the end of each month, ANSETS (non-RAS tracking) information is provided to the RSCC by the analytical service requestors (Attachment 5). The information is entered into the Regional Database # 2 and the national ANSETS database. Monthly ANSETS reports are sent to the RSCC , by SMO, for their review. Concurrently, these reports are compared to the Regional Database #2 to try and determine whether the Superfund program and their representatives are following the FASTAC process as outlined by EPA HQ and Region 2.

II SOP HW-32 Date: December, 2006 Rev. 6 Page 6 of 22 12. If, after lab assignments are made, there is a change in the sampling event (i.e., change in date; cancellation; change in the number of samples being collected, etc.) the RSCC must be notified immediately upon the knowledge of any changes to the project, via e -mail. If there is a change in the sampling date or the number of samples being collected, a new laboratory request form (for the DESA laboratory or the CLP, as appropriate) must be submitted to the RSCC. (Reference Attachment 6). * In FY’ 03/04 DESA staff initiated a concerted effort to have RPMs involve DESA staff in scoping meetings for their projects. Early involvement in project planning enables the DESA lab to better accommodate the needs for the individual projects.
