HomeMy WebLinkAboutDERR-2024-0046414895-1244-6096\3 Water Monitoring Plan 2023-2024 Big Dutch Pete Hollow This proposed plan is a continuation of the previous water management and monitoring strategies implemented at the Mayflower VCP site (the “Site”). The 2022-2023 Water Monitoring Plan’s updated monitoring strategy was a successful approach to development of a final remedy for water management at the Site. Accordingly, BLX Mayflower LLC (“BLXM”) will continue the same monitoring approach in this plan. BLXM shall have the right to assign its monitoring obligations under this agreement to an affiliated party who will take on the management of the Site. BLXM will perform testing at the McHenry Campground sampling location every two weeks for Zinc and Cadmium by EPA Method 200.8, and Iron by EPA Method 200.7 through December 2024. BLXM will also perform additional metals testing as described in the table below once every quarter through December 2024 at the McHenry Campground sampling location. The McHenry Campground sampling location is identified on the site map attached as Exhibit A. BLXM will also continue to measure groundwater levels in accessible groundwater wells and piezometers on a monthly schedule, other than during April through June 2024, when the groundwater wells and piezometers will be measured twice a month. On or around the middle of June 2024, BLXM will also perform water quality sampling of the groundwater wells (GW2 and GW4) and piezometers (GW6, GW7c, GW8, GW9a) using EPA’s Low-Flow Sampling Methodology and the samples will be analyzed for Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Selenium, Silver, and Zinc using the analytical methods identified herein. The June 2024 groundwater sampling event will coincide with the final regularly scheduled RAP groundwater monitoring. This groundwater sampling event will also coincide with the June 2024 sampling of McHenry Campground for the same constituents. A summary chart of the sampling program is below: Proposed Sample Location Sampling Frequency Contaminant of Concern Type of Analysis Groundwater Monitoring Wells GW2 and GW4 near the property boundary, Property Line Sump June 2024 Metals (Arsenic, Barium, Chromium, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Selenium, Silver, Zinc) Dissolved Metals Analysis Water Quality monitoring at Groundwater piezometers (GW6, GW7c, GW8, GW9a) June 2024 Metals (Arsenic, Barium, Chromium, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Selenium, Silver, Zinc) Dissolved Metals Analysis McHenry Campground sampling point (4997675) Every two weeks through December 2024 Metals (Cadmium, Zinc, Iron) Total Metals Analysis McHenry Campground sampling point (4997675) Quarterly (Second week of April, second week of July, second week of October, and final sampling event during the second week of December 2024) Metals (Arsenic, Barium, Chromium Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Selenium, Silver, Zinc) Total Metals Analysis Water level monitoring of accessible Groundwater Monitoring Wells and Piezometers (GW6, GW7c, GW8, GW9a, GW2, GW4) Monthly from December 2023 – March 2024, twice a month April 2024 – June 2024, monthly July 2024 – December 2024 Water levels will be measured and plotted on graphs to show trends over time BLXM will pump water from the Property Line Sump and discharge the water into the on-site sanitary sewer system if, at any time, analytical results from the sampling at the McHenry Campground sampling location exceed the site surface water quality screening levels in the table below, with the exception of turbidity. At such time, BLXM will, in conjunction with DERR, reevaluate this water monitoring program and implement corrective measures, as appropriate, in consultation with DERR. BLXM will compile, tabulate, and assess water level and water quality trends and make submittals to the DERR monthly starting in January 2024. 2 4895-1244-6096\3 Screening Level Table: Analyte Surface Water Screening Level (mg/L) Groundwater Screening Levels (mg/L) Analytical Testing Method for Surface Water Analytical Testing Method for Groundwater Arsenic 0.010 0.010 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6020 Barium 1.0 2.0 EPA Method 200.7 EPA Method 6010 Cadmium 0.00239 0.005 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6020 Chromium 0.268 0.1 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6010 Copper 0.0305 1.3 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6010 Iron 1.0 14.0 EPA Method 200.7 EPA Method 6010 Lead 0.0186 0.015 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6020 Mercury 0.000012 0.002 EPA Method 245.1 EPA Method 7470 Selenium 0.0046 0.05 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6020 Silver 0.0411 0.10 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6010 Zinc 0.388 5.0 EPA Method 200.8 EPA Method 6010 Turbidity (NTU) < 20 NTU Goal Field Meter Stabilization in accordance with EPA Low-Flow Sampling Methodology Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) Chemtech-Ford Analytical Laboratory (Chemtech) has a robust quality control (QC) program that is required for their State Certification. They monitor the precision and accuracy of their analytical procedures through analysis of laboratory QC samples. Laboratory Analysis will be performed under the direction of Chemtech’s Laboratory Director, in accordance with appropriate Accreditations and Certifications. The National Environmental Lab Accreditation Program and United States Environmental Protection Agency quality control standards will be met for all samples analyzed by Chemtech. All laboratory analytical reports will include Level 3 documentation, including a Case Narrative provided by Chemtech. On a frequency of one for every five sampling events (10% of samples) BLXM will also collect a field duplicate sample for analysis. BLXM will collect one Field Blank during the sampling program to assess potential sample contamination due to sample bottles, preservative, ambient site conditions, or cross-contamination during transport. The field duplicate will be collected closely in time and location to the actual sample and will be placed in an identical sample container fixed with nitric acid (HNO3). The duplicate sample will be handled in the same way as the other samples and will be secured in the same cooler for laboratory analysis. The field duplicate will measure the additive effects of field precision (i.e. sample collection, handling, and transportation) and lab precision (such as sample handling and analysis). Chain-Of-Custody Documentation All samples submitted for laboratory analysis will be accompanied by completed Chain-of-Custody (COC) forms. Forms will be completed and submitted with the samples to the laboratory during each sampling event. The COC will identify the contents of each shipment and maintain the custodial integrity of the samples. Samples will be in the custody of the sampler, locked up, or kept in a secured area that is restricted to authorized personnel. Samples will remain in the custody of the sampler until released to Chemtech. Upon arrival at the lab, the sampler will sign the COC form in the “relinquished by” box and note date and time. 0 125 250 375 500Feet !. !. !.!. !.!.!. @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @?
