HomeMy WebLinkAboutDERR-2024-006545 February 7, 2024 Scope of Work for Additional Off-Site Groundwater Assessment GE North Salt Lake 130 E 1100 North North Salt Lake, Utah Groundwater sampling was completed during five (5) separate quarters on the adjoining property in 2022 and 2023 at 50 E 1100 North, located approximately 200 feet west of the Site, which is owned by DS Investments and occupied by 3D Storage and Advanced Metal Finishing. Nine (9) consecutive quarters of groundwater sampling has been completed on the General Electric (GE) Site. Since concentrations of specific VOC constituents were detected in groundwater near the western property boundary above applicable criteria, additional off-site delineation has been requested by DERR. Based on individual constituent molar fraction analysis, the chlorinated solvent constituents (e.g., trichloroethylene {TCE}) observed in offsite wells (“A-1 and A-2”) appear to be from a separate offsite source unrelated to the GE North Salt Lake Site. Therefore, the primary purpose of the proposed off-site groundwater assessment is to support the delineation of 1,4-Dioxane in off-site, downgradient groundwater. The assessment will include the installation of a total of eleven (11) permanently constructed groundwater wells including four (4) on adjoining properties (3D Storage, Advanced Metal Finishing, and Accurate Cut Carbide) and seven (7) permanently constructed groundwater monitoring wells along North Main Street to the west and E 1100 North (W 2600 S) to the northwest of the Site 1. Activities will be completed in general accordance with the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) competed in July 2021 and approved by DERR in August 2021. HASP WSP will prepare the project Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) prior to initiating the field activities. The HASP will address potential worker safety risks based on previous site assessments and to address risks associated with the assessment activities proposed in the right-of-way. The HASP will include a requirement that only WSP and its subcontractors who are properly trained individuals are permitted to conduct field activities. Site personnel will be required to have valid HAZWOPER certifications in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. The HASP will also require the subcontractor’s personnel to adhere to WSP’s and GE’s health and safety contractor policies and OSHA, state, local, and applicable federal laws and regulations. Additionally, WSP will work with each contractor/vendor to thoroughly plan the field work tasks, sequence, and sampling to protect human health and 1 Installation of groundwater monitoring wells and sampling is dependent on GE & WSP being permitted access to the property by each property owner, through preparation of an access agreement GE North Salt Lake Off-Site, Downgradient Groundwater Assessment WSP February 7, 2024 Page 2 the environment. WSP will review required Contractor submittals (permits, health and safety plan, project execution plan, and final project schedule) prior to mobilization. Off-Site Well Installation and Sampling – Right of Way In preparation of the field work, WSP will manage communications with the City of North Salt Lake to obtain all required permits and authorizations to complete work along North Main Street and E 1100 North (W 2600 S). Since these right-of-ways include vehicular traffic and access to adjoining properties, a professional traffic control company will be required, which will be procured by WSP. WSP will notify Utah One Call to mark utilities around the periphery of the area prior to conducting the well installation activities. The proposed locations will be cleared by a private utility locator using ground penetrating radar (GPR). Utilities in the vicinity of the well locations will be marked and boring and monitoring locations adjusted in the field, as necessary. As an additional precaution, WSP’s drilling subcontractor will utilize a hand auger for the top two feet of the locations in the vicinity of utilities identified by GPR. WSP personnel will be on Site during the clearance activities. Eleven (11) permanently constructed groundwater wells will be advanced in the right-of- ways and adjoining properties to further delineate off-site, downgradient groundwater in the area. The proposed well locations are depicted on Figure 1. Each well will be advanced with 4.25-inch interior diameter hollow stem augers into the upper groundwater bearing unit, which is anticipated to be encountered between 10 feet and 20 feet bgs. Augers will be decontaminated between well locations. The wells will be constructed of 2-inch PVC with a 5-foot to 10-foot 0.010-inch slotted screen section. The annular space around the well screen will be filled with clean filter pack sand to approximately two feet above the top of the screen, and a hydrated bentonite seal with a minimum thickness of two feet will be placed above the filter pack. The remaining annular space will be sealed with a Portland Type I bentonite/cement slurry to the ground surface. Each permanent monitoring well will be completed with a flush mounted well vault and bolted manway cover, monitoring well tag, and locking well cap. Once the grout and bentonite seals are set, approximately 24 hours after installation, the wells will be developed using a pump with dedicated tubing or disposable bailer until the water is clear or the well is purged dry. Groundwater samples from the existing and new wells will be collected using low flow techniques, with a peristaltic pump with dedicated tubing attached to a flow-through cell with probes to monitor water quality parameters. The water quality parameters will include temperature, pH, specific conductance, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and dissolved oxygen (DO). Turbidity will also be monitored during purging. Turbidity will be measured with a LaMotte™ 2020 (or similar) turbidity meter. The probes/meters will be calibrated according to manufacturer specifications for each parameter prior to sampling, and on a daily basis thereafter. The pumping rate will be maintained between 100 and 300 milliliters per minute (mL/min) to maintain minimal water level drawdown and to minimize GE North Salt Lake Off-Site, Downgradient Groundwater Assessment WSP February 7, 2024 Page 3 suspension of fine-grained sediments and aeration of the water. The water level in the well will be monitored to document that drawdown does not increase during purging. Drawdown and water quality parameters will be monitored and recorded approximately every three to five minutes. Water quality parameters will be documented on WSP groundwater sampling forms. Groundwater samples will be collected when monitoring parameters have stabilized for three successive readings, taken at 3 to 5-minute intervals. Stability is achieved when readings are within ± 0.2 standard units (s.u.) for pH, ± 3 percent for specific conductance, ± 20 millivolts (mV) for ORP, and ± 10 percent or ± 2.0 milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml) for DO. Stabilization of turbidity will occur when three successive turbidity values are within 10 percent for values greater than 10 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) or if three turbidity values are less than 10 NTU, turbidity will be considered stabilized. Sampling will be performed by disconnecting the down hole tubing, prior to the flow-through cell, and placing it into the appropriate certified clean laboratory sample containers. New disposable sample tubing will be used at each well. Groundwater samples will be collected from each of the wells using the dedicated tubing. Groundwater samples will be submitted to Eurofins Laboratories, Inc. A summary of the proposed number of wells, number of water samples, and laboratory analyses is provided in Table 1.
