It was discussed during this inspection that additional sampling was proposed for ) these sites as each had one soil sample that exceeded the cyanide risk based standard. These ) results are found the August 2000 RFI Report1. Agreement was reached for the locations and depths for the additional sampling and that the sampling should proceed as agreed. This report details the sampling process and results of the additional investigation at both sites. ) 1.1 BACKGROUND ) SWMU 285 is associated a waste water discharge comprised of BAC cooling and water softening waste water with building M-570 at the ATK facility. This building was historically ) used as an employee change house for the HMX grinding area. An investigation of the soil at ) the discharge location was approved by the Division with the results included in the August 2000 RFI report. Two locations were sampled one at the point of discharge and another 44 feet down ) gradient at both the surface and 2 feet in depth. The surface sample at 44 feet reported a cyanide value of 178 mg/Kg with all other samples showing a non-detect. The residential Regional ) Screening Values (RSLs) for cyanide are 23 mg/Kg; therefore additional investigation was concluded in the RFI report. J SWMU 620 is associated with an old waste water discharge consisting of BAC cooling and boiler condensate from building M-702. It is noted in the 2000 RFI report that this flow was considered substantially identical to SWMU 285. This building was used as a dryer for HMX. ) Two soil locations were sampled one at the point of discharge and the other 25 feet down gradient at both the surface and at 2 feet in depth. Cyanide was reported in the 25 ft. surface sample at 175 mg/kg; with all other samples at non-detect. 3 1.

Agreement was reached that the additional sampling would be surface samples at three ) locations, one up gradient of the high sample point, one at the same location as the high value D 3 and one down gradient. It was also agreed, that the samples be collected at a depth of 3 to 6 ) inches after removing approximately two inches from the surface to account for sediment that ) likely covered the original sample surface. ) ) Proper sampling protocol was used. A stainless steel scoop was used and decontaminated ) between sampling locations with Iconox soap wash water and a distilled water rinse. New 4 oz. ) sample jars were used and samples were preserved at 4 degrees C and sent to ALS analytical a ) Utah certified laboratory for cyanide under a chain of custody. D 3 3 D 2.1 SWMU 285 Investigation D 3 The original investigation collected soil samples at the point of discharge and at the location D where the cyanide was detected at 44 ft. down gradient. On October 29, 2018 soil samples were 3 collected at 5.5 feet, 44 feet and 66 feet from the discharge point at a depth interval of 3 to six D inches. The 44 ft. and 66 ft. samples locations are on the downgradient side of culverts that went 3 under the two roads. A duplicate sample was collected at the 44 ft. location labeled 44A. The D sample locations are shown in Figure 1. 3 D D D 3 3 D 3lPage Novernber 2018 ) -.

This indicates that the previous cyanide detections were very limited in area and have since degaded or were possibly a false positive. ATK proposes that SWMUs 285 and 620 be designated as closed with no further action.
