INTRODUCTION In accordance with the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (DWMRC) request, Wasatch Environmental, Inc. (Wasatch) has prepared this Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for conducting subsurface investigative activities at the LearnKey facility. The facility is currently owned by Basix Financial, LP, and is located at 633 North 400 West in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Utah DWMRC requested that the distribution for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and metal impacts to soil and groundwater be evaluated at the facility. Currently, Price Realty Group is in the process of purchasing this facility and wishes to obtain a Comfort Letter from the Utah DWMRC. The objectives of this SAP are to: • Collect additional soil samples at the facility for analysis of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) D-list metals and PAHs to characterize impacts to the facility in an effort to receive a Comfort Letter for Price Realty Group prior to purchase of the facility; and • Install, develop, survey, and sample five groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate the facility groundwater flow direction and magnitude, and to evaluate dissolved phase PAH and metal impacts at the facility. Price Realty Group intends that the sampling activities be conducted under a SAP that has been reviewed and approved by the Utah DWMRC. This SAP describes the sampling and analytical procedures that will be used for sampling to be performed during investigation activities at the facility. 2. SITE BACKGROUND Wasatch prepared a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on the facility dated March 27, 2018, on behalf of Price Realty Group. Wasatch identified the following recognized environmental conditions during the completion of the March 2018 Phase I ESA: • The facility was originally developed in 1961, and included additions of warehouses to the west and an expansion of the office to the north through 1968. A map from 1965 shows a sand trap to the north of the original office, and this area was subsequently developed with an expansion of the current office. Tenants have included an electronics company (Geotron Corp., 1962), an engineering and manufacturing company (Specialty Engineering & Manufacturing Company, machine shop (1963 through 1982), a printing business (Quality Press, 1983 through 2004), an automotive restoration company that included a paint booth (at least 2007), and advertising companies (2007 to present). Former tenants from 1962 through 2007 would have likely used a combination of petroleum products and hazardous substances, including solvents, in daily business operations. The potential release of petroleum products and hazardous substances at the facility for over 45 years is considered a recognized environmental condition. Price Realty Group requested that Wasatch complete a Phase II ESA to address the recognized environmental conditions identified. Wasatch Environmental, Inc. Page 1 LearnKey Property Sampling and Analysis Plan Project No. 1955-013B On April 6, 2018, Wasatch directed the completion of seven soil borings (GP-1 through GP-7), using direct-push drilling techniques, to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions at the facility. The boring locations are shown on Figure 1. Groundwater samples were collected from each soil boring. Only one soil sample was collected (from boring GP-2) and submitted for laboratory analysis due to field observation of soil staining and petroleum odors. Both soil and groundwater samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). Additionally, one sub-slab soil gas sample was collected near the suspected former sand trap and submitted for analysis of VOCs. Only a single soil sample was collected from boring GP-2 and was submitted for laboratory analysis. Several SVOCs (benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, naphthalene, and dibenz(a,h)anthracene) were detected in the soil sample at concentrations in excess of their applicable United State Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Regional Screening Levels (RSL) for Industrial Soil, as well as other SVOCs that exceeded the U.S. EPA RSL for Residential soil. Fill material was observed across the facility and ranged from 5 to 7 feet in thickness. The fill material consisted mainly of gravelly sand and some silty clay with red bricks, concrete, trace glossy rubber like material, and wood debris. Benzo(a)pyrene in groundwater was detected at concentrations above the U.S. EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) in four of the seven groundwater samples (GP-2, GP-5, GP-6, and GP-7) collected. Increased benzo(a)pyrene concentrations in groundwater may have been elevated due to the turbidity of the groundwater samples collected. Wasatch concluded that given the benzo(a)pyrene impacts to groundwater, it appears the highest concentrations were observed near the center of the building, where there was no field indication of a release. It is Wasatch's opinion, that the fill material located at the facility may be the source of the SVOC-impacts at the facility. The origins of the fill material are unknown at this time, and it has been Wasatch's experience that SVOC-impacted fill material has been used in the Salt Lake Valley area in the past. Wasatch recommended that the SVOC impacts to soil and groundwater at the facility be reported to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The Utah DEQ requested that additional investigational activities be completed. At the request of Price Realty Group, in May 2018, Wasatch requested the oversight of the Utah DWMRC to guide the facility to a No Further Action determination. Wasatch provided the Utah DWMRC with previous environmental site assessments including the March 27, 2018, Phase I ESA, and the April 24, 2018, Phase II ESA — Subsurface Investigation report. Upon review of the aforementioned documents and based on a meeting with Wasatch and DWMRC personnel, the Utah DWMRC requested that Wasatch author a SAP, collect additional discrete soil samples, install and sample five groundwater monitoring wells, and analyze soil samples for RCRA D-list metals and PAHs to better evaluate the facility and move the facility to a No Further Action determination. 3. SITE INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES 3.1 Soil Sampling To further evaluate the distribution of PAHs and metal impacts to soils at the facility, Wasatch will complete ten soil borings (GP-8 through GP-17) across the facility in a grid-like pattern to provide spatial distribution. See Figure 1 for the proposed boring locations. Soil borings will be advanced to a depth of approximately 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). Three soil samples will be collected for laboratory analysis from each soil boring completed. One soil sample will be collected within the top foot of fill material. One soil sample will be collected from the area of fill material exhibiting the most significant indication of impacts (odors, staining, or elevated photoionization detector [RD] readings); however, if no significant field indications of impacts are observed, this sample will be collected from a random depth Wasatch Environmental, inc. Page 2 LearnKey Property Sampling and Analysis Plan Project No. 1955-013B within the fill material. One soil sample will be collected approximately two feet below the fill/native soil interface. After completion of the soil borings, all soil cuttings will be placed back into the soil boring from which they came, bentonite chips will be placed within the remainder of the boring and hydrated, and the boring surface will be restored to match the surround ground surface. All sample locations will be surveyed. 3.2 Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation and Development In order to collect low turbidity groundwater samples at the facility, five monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-5) will be installed, properly developed, and top-of-casings (TOC) surveyed. Proposed groundwater monitoring well locations are depicted on Figure 1. 3.3 Groundwater Sampling Following monitoring well installation, development, and surveying activities, groundwater samples will be collected from each monitoring well. Depth to groundwater measurements will also be obtained from each monitoring well to determine groundwater flow direction. 4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 Soil Sampling Wasatch will advance exploratory soil borings using direct-push drilling techniques to evaluate soil conditions. The borings will be advanced with a GeoProbe drill rig. Soil core samples will be collected from 5-foot long by 1.5-inch diameter discrete interval push samplers equipped with disposable polybutyrate liners. Soil samples will be collected continuously, and field logged by an experienced geologist. The field logging will include a description of color, moisture content, consistency, odor, staining, and soil type based on the Unified Soil Classification System. The soil borings will be advanced to a depth of 15 feet bgs. Three soil samples will be collected for laboratory analysis from each soil boring completed as discussed in Section 3.1. The soil samples will be collected using gloved hands and dispensed into appropriate containers and immediately placed in iced coolers. The soil samples will be submitted under chain-of-custody protocol to a Utah certified laboratory for analysis. As requested by Utah DWMRC personnel, the soil samples collected will be analyzed for the following analytes: • RCRA D-List metals using U.S. EPA Methods 6020B and 7470A/7471B, and • PAHs using U.S. EPA Method 8270D Select Ion Monitoring (SIM). 4.2 Groundwater Monitoring Well installation and Development Wasatch will supervise the installation of five groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-5) at the facility. Monitoring well MW-1 will be installed on the hydraulically upgradient side of the facility near the eastern property boundary. Monitoring wells MW-2 and MW-3, will be installed at locations in the central portion of the facility within the on-site building. Monitoring wells MW-4 and MW-5, will be installed on the hydraulically down-gradient (west) boundary of the facility. The monitoring wells will be installed using hollow stem auger techniques using a GeoProbe drill rig. The proposed monitoring well locations are depicted on Figure 1. The monitoring wells will be installed to a depth of approximately 15 feet bgs using hollow stem auger techniques. Monitoring well screens will be set from approximately 15 to 5 feet bgs straddling the vadose/saturated zone interface. The monitoring wells will be constructed of 2-inch diameter, schedule Wasatch Environmental, Mc. Page 3 LearnKey Property Sampling and Analysis Plan Project No. 1955-013B 40 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) well casing; and 2-inch diameter, schedule 40 PVC, 0.010-inch slotted well screen. A sand pack consisting of 10/20 Colorado Silica sand will be installed from the bottom of the well screen to approximately 1 foot above the screen, and a hydrated bentonite seal will be installed above the sand pack. Surface completions will consist of 7-inch diameter, flush-mounted, traffic-rated, well vaults set in concrete. The monitoring wells will be developed to remove fines by surging and purging with a disposable bailer, and by pumping with a submersible or peristaltic pump. All development water will be placed in 55-gallon drums labeled "This Container on Hold Pending Analysis." The drums will remain at the facility pending the analytical results. The purge water will be disposed of properly as determined based on the analytical results. The monitoring well TOC elevations will be surveyed to a temporary benchmark assigned an arbitrary elevation of 100.00 feet above mean sea level. 4.3 Groundwater Sampling Subsequent to monitoring well development and surveying activities, Wasatch will obtain depth to groundwater measurements from each monitoring well using an electronic water level probe. The electronic probe and tape will be decontaminated before measuring the water level in the first monitoring well, and also between each monitoring well, with a phosphate free soap, rinsed with potable water, and then rinsed with de-ionized water. Depth to groundwater measurements will be obtained from each newly installed monitoring well to evaluate groundwater flow direction and magnitude. Groundwater samples will be collected from each newly installed monitoring well using low-flow sampling techniques. Monitoring well sampling will involve inserting 1/4-inch outside diameter, low-density polyethylene tubing into the middle of the screened portions of each monitoring well. The tubing will be run through a peristaltic pump, then to a flow cell to which a multi-parameter Troll 9500 meter will be attached, and finally to a 5-gallon bucket to collect the purge water. Initial water levels would be measured and recorded prior to the initiation of pumping. Once pumping is initiated, water levels, pumping rate, cumulative volume purged, water temperature, specific conductivity, pH, oxygen reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity will be recorded at three to five-minute intervals until either stabilization is achieved or the well pumps dry. Pumping rates will be maintained at a rate of 50 to 100 milliliters per minute (where possible) to minimize drawdown. Stabilization is defined as three consecutive measurement intervals where temperature and specific conductivity were +/- 3%, pH was +/- 0.1, DO was +/-10% (or less than 0.5 mg/L), and turbidity was +/- 10% (or less than 5 nephelometric turbidity units [NTUs]). If monitoring wells pump dry, they will be allowed to recharge to a minimum of at least 90% of their static water level prior to sampling. After stabilization is achieved, the tubing would be disconnected from the flow cell and the groundwater samples would be dispensed into appropriate, laboratory supplied, sample containers using gloved hands. Groundwater samples collected for RCRA D- list metals would be filtered in the field using 0.45-micron filters prior to dispensing the groundwater sample into the appropriate laboratory supplied container. The sample jars will be labeled, immediately placed in an iced cooler, and transported under chain-of-custody documentation to AWAL for analysis of RCRA D-List metals using U.S. EPA Methods 6020B/7470A/7471B, and PAHs using U.S. EPA Method 8270D SIM 5. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC) QC checks will be performed for both field sampling and laboratory analysis of the environmental samples to allow for the evaluation of data quality, documentation of data quality, and to help identify irregularities in the field sampling or laboratory analyses that may require correction. • Results outside precision and accuracy goals should be flagged. • All detection limits should be less than the applicable U.S. EPA RSLs and MCLs. 5.1 Field QA/QC A variety of QC samples will be collected to facilitate the evaluation of the data quality parameters. An explanation of each type of field QC sample is provided below. Wasatch Environmental, Mc. Page 4 LearnKey Property Sampling and Analysis Plan Project No. 1955-013B 5.1.1 Accuracy Goals - Matrix Spike (MS)/Matrix Spike Duplicate (MSD) MS/MSDs are QC samples collected in the field for use by the analytical laboratory. The MS/MSDs are selected to be representative of the environmental matrix at the facility. The laboratory spikes the MS/MSDs with a known quantity of the analyte of interest. The MS and MSD are then analyzed by the laboratory along with an un-spiked sample and the environmental samples from the site to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the analytical method for that specific sample. One MS/MSD will be collected for each matrix (soil and groundwater samples only) for every 20 environmental samples for each matrix. 5.1.2 Precision Goals - Field Duplicate Field precision will be assessed through the collection and analysis of field duplicate samples. A field duplicate is a QC sample collected from the same location as an environmental sample, and collected simultaneously, or immediately following, the collection of the environmental sample. Field duplicates are collected, handled, and analyzed in an identical manner to the environmental samples. The sample labeling and chain of custody documentation will not indicate that a sample is a field duplicate (they are blind duplicates) so the analytical laboratory is not aware that the field duplicate is a QC sample. Field duplicates are analyzed by the laboratory along with the environmental samples. The analytical results for the field duplicate are then compared to the analytical results for the environmental sample as an indicator of the overall sampling and analytical precision. One field duplicate will be collected for each matrix (soil and groundwater only) for every 10 environmental samples for each matrix. Laboratory precision will be assessed through the calculation the relative percent difference (RPD) for duplicate samples. If the RPD exceeds 30% the sample will be flagged. 5.1.3 Split Samples A split sample is a QC sample collected from the same location as an environmental sample, and collected simultaneously, or immediately following, the collection of the environmental sample. Spilt samples are transported and analyzed separately (and by a different analytical laboratory) than the environmental samples. The analytical results for the split sample are then compared to the analytical results for the environmental sample as an indicator of the overall analytical accuracy and precision. The Utah DWMRC may collect split samples at their discretion. In addition, the laboratory will use level 3 QA/QC reporting. A Data Validation Report will be completed by an independent third-party. 6. REPORTING All data generated during the sampling and monitoring well installation will be documented in a final report. This report will include text, data tables, boring logs, appropriate maps, chain-of-custody forms, laboratory analytical results, third-party data validation report, and survey data. The results of the sampling and analysis will be summarized in the report. Data will be presented in table format. Conclusions based on the data as well as field observations will be included in the report. After the laboratory data has been received, and reviewed, the report will be completed and submitted to Price Realty Group, to be forwarded on to Utah DWMRC. Wasatch Environmental, Mc.
