Dear Ms. Anderson:
WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc. (WSP), on behalf of GE Vernova (GE) is providing
this Groundwater Remedial Action Plan (RAP) Addendum for the former GE facility located at
130 East 1100 North, in North Salt Lake, Utah (Site). This document is an addendum to the Soil
Remedial Action Plan (Soil RAP) (WSP, 2023a) that was approved by the Utah Department of
Environmental Quality (UDEQ), Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR)
in March 2023 (UDEQ DERR, 2023a), and implemented at the Site in August 2023. As noted in
the Soil RAP, the remedial action proposed for groundwater was to be provided under
separate cover, and the Groundwater RAP is presented herein.
GROUNDWATER RAP ADDENDUM
Site-wide assessment activities are complete, and the horizontal and vertical nature and extent
of impact to both soil and groundwater have been fully delineated. Soil impacts were
confined to the Site, and the soil source areas were removed in 2023 during implementation of
the Soil RAP. The Soil Remedial Action Closure Report (WSP, 2023b) was approved by the
DERR in October 2023 (UDEQ DERR, 2023b).
Groundwater impacts have been monitored since 2017 through the gauging and sampling of
the 22 monitoring wells installed on the Site (MW-1 through MW-8 and MW-10 through MW-
23). In addition, at the request of the DERR, 12 additional monitoring wells were installed on
the downgradient off-site properties. With the completion of the focused additional on-site
investigations and installation of the additional off-site monitoring wells, groundwater impacts
from site-related activities have been horizontally and vertically delineated to the residential

1E-06 acceptable cancer risk level. Figure 1 (Site Plan) and Figure 2 (Off-Site Well Locations)
identify the locations of the groundwater monitoring wells. The constituents of concern (COCs)
in groundwater, their location, and proposed remedy are discussed further below
Objective
The objective of the Groundwater RAP Addendum is to identify monitored natural attenuation
(MNA) as the remedy selected to address the COCs in groundwater and to identify the
groundwater performance objectives for the Site.
Background
The Site is owned by GE and comprises approximately 14.95 acres and includes two vacant
buildings. It is located at 130 East 1100 North in North Salt Lake City, Davis County, Utah
According to historical documents, General Motors Division built the facility in 1955 as a
locomotive repair shop. General Motors sold the property in 1968 to Univac Guidance Systems,
who operated at the Site until they sold the property to GE in 1971. GE utilized the Site for the
cleaning, maintenance, and repair of transformers and electric motors until 2017 when it
closed.
Historical operations and previous environmental assessments are summarized in the Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (Amec, 2017), the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
Wood, 2020), the Site Characterization Work Plan (Wood, 2021), and the Human Health and
Ecological Risk Assessment (HHERA) (Wood, 2022).
Based on the assessments conducted at the Site, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), total
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and arsenic were identified as COCs in soil. The soil removal
action approved and executed in accordance with the Soil RAP addressed the PCBs and TPH
in soil. Arsenic was determined to be well distributed in soil throughout the Site with elevated
concentrations found at depths of generally greater than 10 feet below ground surface (bgs).
Therefore, a soil removal action for arsenic was not practical or warranted, and the DERR
agreed that arsenic in soil would be addressed through site and soil management, select
engineering controls, and the future environmental covenant.
Twenty-two monitoring wells have been installed on the Site (MW-1 through MW-8 and MW-10
through MW-23) constructed to depths that range from 9.5 ft below top of casing (ft below
TOC) (MW-17) to 20.0 ft below TOC (MW-8) (Figure 1). Monitoring of these wells began in 2017,
and a quarterly monitoring program was initiated in January 2022.
Based on evaluation of the groundwater data collected at the Site, eight COCs were identified
in groundwater including 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), cis-1,2-
dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE), 1,4-dioxane, trichloroethylene (TCE), arsenic, PCB-1254, and TPH-

DRO (at MW-7 only). The DERR previously approved the removal of PCBs from the site-wide
groundwater monitoring program. TPH-DRO has been addressed through the removal of
impacted soil in accordance with the Soil RAP, and as approved by the DERR in the Soil
Remedial Action Closure Report. Due to the soil removal action, MW-7 required re-installation
which was completed in August 2023. Three monitoring events have been conducted since
soil RAP completion and re-installation of MW-7, and TPH-DRO concentrations have decreased
from 1.1 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in December 2022 to 0.37 mg/L in April 2024. Based on
these data, no further monitoring of TPH-DRO is warranted.
For the purposes of the Groundwater RAP Addendum, therefore, the COCs in on-site
groundwater include the five volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 1,1-DCA, 1,1-DCE, cis-1,2-DCE,
1,4-dioxane, TCE; and arsenic.
Conceptual Site Model and Risk Evaluation
The Site is currently vacant, and the on-site buildings are not currently occupied. Based on
data collected at the Site from 2017 through April 2024, the average depth to water is 7.80 ft
below TOC. Access to the Site building and storage areas is fenced and each monitoring well is
capped and locked. Based on the current site conditions there are no current receptors or
complete exposure pathways associated with groundwater at the Site.
Land use within a 0.5-mile radius of the Site consists of industrial/commercial facilities to the
north, west, and south. A mobile home park, Colonial Woods II Mobile Home Park, borders the
Site to the east which is upgradient of the groundwater flow direction. The property to the
west of the Site includes a railroad easement (4 tracks total), followed by 3D Storage property, a
self-storage facility. Also, the North Salt Lake Municipal Well is located approximately 200 feet
west of the Site boundary.
There are no residential receptors located downgradient of the Site to the west and the closest
downgradient residential district is approximately one (1) mile west of the Site (City of North
Salt Lake, 2023). The Site, as well as the downgradient properties to the west, are zoned and
used for manufacturing-distribution (MD) use. A residential development is located
approximately one-half mile to the northwest of the Site across Highway 2600S. Property
between the Site and the residential development is zoned Light Industrial/Business Park Zone
(I-1) and is also in industrial/commercial use (Woods Cross City, 2021).
A recent water well search on the Utah Division of Water Rights well log dataset (2024) did not
identify any potable water wells other than the North Salt Lake Municipal Well located
downgradient from the Site. A brief summary of the well logs identified include:
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
• Four well borings east of the mobile home park installed in 2009. Three wells were
completed and the well log records identified them as “test” wells abandoned in
September 2023.
• Six well logs within approximately one-half mile downgradient of the Site.
o (1) a nonproduction well (Holly Energy) bored to 280 feet but not completed;
o (2) a well (no owner identified) installed to 390 feet with a well intake depth of
305 feet, a pump intake depth of 200 feet;
o (3) a well (Bountiful East Stake) finished to 221 feet, with a water intake depth of
211 feet;
o (4) an irrigation well owned by Lynn Trenbeath installed to 157 feet with a well
intake depth of 147 feet;
o (5) a boring associated with the municipal well located approximately 200 feet
west of the Site that was installed to 320 feet and subsequently abandoned; and
(6) the well log for the municipal well identified to have a finished well depth of
300 feet with a well intake depth of 180 feet.
Groundwater flow at the Site is generally to the west/northwest and toward the municipal
well; however, the municipal well is located in a separate confined aquifer, with the water-
bearing zone identified as 80 to 130 feet below ground surface (bgs).
At DERR’s request, two monitoring wells were installed off-site on the 3D Storage property in
2022 to further evaluate the potential horizontal migration of COCs in groundwater. The two
wells, offsite A-1 and offsite A-2, were installed to total depths of 20 feet. During the sampling
event in April 2024, depth to water in these wells was measured at 4.39 feet from top of casing
(ft TOC) and 6.65 ft TOC, respectively. Groundwater on the 3D Storage property, as well as on
the GE Site, is shallow in nature and there is no evidence of any connection to the deeper
water bearing zone from which the municipal well draws water.
To further evaluate the potential for vertical migration, WSP reviewed available soil boring logs
from wells from the water well search. The review of the well logs identified the presence of a
clay layer extending from as shallow as 5 ft to 100+ ft-bgs. At DERR’s request, and upon
approval of the scope of work, two deep soil borings were advanced on-site near the western
property boundary in September 2023 to complete vertical delineation of on-site subsurface
geologic conditions and to evaluate for the presence of a deeper water bearing zone. The
results of the vertical delineation indicated soil conditions consisted of approximately 20 feet
of predominantly clay soil with no water bearing zone at depth. Soil samples collected at the
terminus of the two borings were non-detect for VOCs (WSP, 2023c) indicating no vertical
migration of COCs to the deeper water bearing zone associated with the municipal well.
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum

Initial groundwater samples collected from the two off-site monitoring wells, A-1 and A-2,
exhibited TCE concentrations higher than those detected in the on-site property boundary
monitoring wells. To evaluate the possible presence of an off-site source of chlorinated VOCs
(CVOCs) in groundwater downgradient from the Site, groundwater samples were collected
from on-site well MW-3 (highest TCE concentration on-site) and offsite A-1 in March 2023 and
submitted for stable isotope analysis (WSP, 2023d). The results of the isotope analysis show
that the TCE detected at the downgradient offsite A-1 is less fractionated then the TCE
detected at MW-3 indicating the samples are isotopically different. In addition, the results
indicate the TCE at offsite A-1 is younger and likely due to a release that occurred more
recently. The isotope data provide clear evidence that the TCE observed in offsite A-1 is from a
separate off-site source and is unrelated to the TCE observed on the GE Site (WSP, 2023d).
WSP has performed detailed Groundwater Plume Analytics® groundwater modeling since
2023 to obtain a better understanding of the overall stability of various constituent plumes at
the Site. The Groundwater Plume Analytics® Services included the Ricker Method® Plume
Stability Analysis, Center of Mass Movement Analysis, Spatial Change Indicator™ Analysis (US
Pat. No. 10,400,583), and Molar Fractional Analysis. The Groundwater Plume Analytics® are
being updated as new groundwater sampling event laboratory analytical data become
available. The results of each Groundwater Plume Analytics® model are presented to the DERR
under separate cover. Since the initial Groundwater Plume Analytics® were conducted in
2023, the results have demonstrated evidence of an off-site source of TCE, unrelated to the GE
Site. This was demonstrated through comparison of the TCE concentrations at the property
boundary (<0.3 to 3 ug/L; July 2022) to those reported for the off-site downgradient wells (22 to
74 µg/L, July 2022) which showed an increase in TCE concentrations off-site. In addition, the
Groundwater Plume Analytics® demonstrated significantly different plume signatures with
the on-site plume comprised largely of cis-1,2-DCE (67%) (a TCE biodegradation daughter
product) while the off-site plume was comprised largely of TCE (72%) (a parent compound)
(WSP, 2023e).
The Groundwater Plume Analytics® also concluded that only low concentrations of CVOCs are
migrating off-site in groundwater and these concentrations would be expected to attenuate or
degrade to within acceptable concentrations immediately downgradient of the Site. The non-
chlorinated VOC, 1,4-dioxane, however, was shown to have migrated off-site at low-level
concentrations which were generally detected above the screening level of 0.46 µg/L (WSP,
2023e). Therefore, as discussed below, an additional assessment was conducted to delineate
1,4-dioxane in off-site groundwater.
At the request of DERR, an additional off-site assessment was completed in April 2024 to
complete the delineation of 1,4-dioxane in off-site groundwater. The proposed well locations
were selected to demonstrate whether 1,4-dioxane was migrating further downgradient from
the Site, or bound, i.e., delineated to acceptable levels, by the monitoring wells proposed to be
installed on the immediately downgradient properties. Upon approval of the scope of work
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
and proposed off-site monitoring well locations by DERR, ten additional off-site wells were
installed in March and April 2024, identified as A-3 through A-12.
Off-site wells A-1 through A-12 were sampled during the April 2024 groundwater monitoring
event with analytical results for 1,4-dioxane summarized on Figure 2. These results indicate 1,4-
dioxane was non-detect in 11 of the 12 off-site wells including A-1 and A-3 through A-12. 1,4-
Dioxane was detected at 3.35 µg/L in well A-2. These results were provided to DERR on June
19, 2024 in the April 2024 Additional Offsite Groundwater Delineation Report (WSP, 2024a).
The laboratory method detection limit (MDL) for the off-site samples that were non-detect for
1,4-dioxane was 0.597 µg/L (i.e., at off-site wells A-1, and A-3 through A-12). The non-detect data
at 0.597 µg/L delineate or bound the presence of 1,4-dioxane in off-site groundwater (Figure 2)
and represent an acceptable cancer risk of 1E-06 based on residential use of off-site
groundwater as a potable water supply.
The information presented above indicates that the COCs in shallow groundwater do not have
the potential to migrate vertically to deeper groundwater that is used as a source of potable
water supply (i.e., the municipal well). Since the COCs, with the exception of arsenic, are
volatile compounds, the only potentially complete migration pathway associated with the Site
and downgradient locations is considered to be the potential for vapor intrusion from
groundwater to indoor air. The information presented previously indicates there are no
residential receptors downgradient in the immediate vicinity of the Site, and an environmental
covenant, discuss further below, will be placed on the Site to preclude future residential
development. Therefore, the only complete exposure pathway is considered to be the
potential for worker exposure to constituents that may volatilize from groundwater to indoor
air. This exposure pathway is considered a current/future exposure pathway for the off-site
worker for potential exposure to 1,4-dioxane, the only site-related COC in off-site groundwater
at concentrations of potential concern, volatilizing from groundwater to indoor air. On-site,
this exposure pathway would be considered a future potential worker exposure pathway until
the property is redeveloped. On-site, the potential for vapor intrusion is evaluated for all five
volatile COCs in groundwater.
To further evaluate this potential exposure pathway, the range of detection of the COCs in on-
site groundwater, and of 1,4-dioxane in off-site groundwater, are presented in Table 1 in
comparison to the USEPA Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels (VISLs) for both residential and
industrial properties (TR=1E-06, HQ=1; USEPA, 2024).

(3) An anomalous result from 2022 reported TCE at MW-21 at a concentration of 9.9 µg/L. TCE
was non-detect in 11 other samples collected from this well.
In summary, there is no potential for residential exposure to the on-site shallow groundwater
as the Site is currently vacant and will have an environmental covenant to preclude future
residential development. The downgradient properties are located in and currently used for
industrial/commercial use. There are no known residences within one-half mile of the Site. In
addition, there is no use of shallow groundwater on-site or directly downgradient; therefore,
there is no potential for industrial or commercial worker exposure to shallow groundwater
through its use as a potable water supply. The N. Salt Lake municipal well, as noted above, is
associated with a water-bearing zone located 80 to 130 feet bgs.
The only complete exposure pathway is considered to be the potential for worker exposure to
constituents that may volatilize from groundwater to indoor air. Evaluation of the
groundwater data as presented in Table 1, above, indicates that this pathway is not of concern
for the off-site groundwater COC 1,4-dioxane. On-site, the pathway is of concern for TCE but
only at locations associated with monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-11, MW-13, and MW-17
which are not located within the vicinity of the current on-site building. The one detection of
TCE at 9.9 µg/L at MW-21 in August 2022 was preceded by five non-detect results and followed
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
by an additional six non-detect results. The observation from August 2022 (1 out of 12 samples)
is considered an anomaly and TCE is considered non-detect at this location.
A draft environmental covenant and Site Management Plan (SMP) have been developed, and
when finalized and approved by DERR, will be recorded with Davis County. These
administrative controls will restrict groundwater use to monitoring purposes only, restrict the
property to industrial/ commercial use only and eliminate or control the potential for exposure
to construction or future Site workers to any remaining on-site COCs. Similarly, these
restrictions will eliminate the potential for on-site direct contact exposure to shallow
groundwater through its use as a potable water supply. In addition, the environmental
covenant will restrict the property to include the need for additional vapor assessment and/or
potential vapor engineering controls, if future construction of a new building is planned near
monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-11, or MW-17.
Remedial Objective and Design
The selected groundwater remedy for the Site is MNA. This remedy will work in conjunction
with the implementation of engineering controls and the above referenced administrative
controls including an environmental covenant and Site Management Plan in place for the Site.
The overall remedial objective of the MNA is to bring individual COC concentrations to within
the UDERR and USEPA acceptable cancer risk range of 1E-06 to 1E-04, or, for noncarcinogenic
compounds, to achieve concentrations that equate to a hazard quotient less than or equal to 1.
Proposed Performance Objectives
The proposed performance objectives for the COCs in groundwater at the Site and their basis
are summarized in Table 2 below.

NC = Noncarcinogen
Q = Sample was prepared and/or analyzed past holding time as defined in the method.
Concentrations should be considered minimum values.
Upon DERR approval, the environmental covenant to be placed on the Site will preclude
future residential development and, with the use of engineering and other site administrative
controls placed upon the property, will also prevent the future use of on-site groundwater as a
source of potable water supply. Based on these restrictions, the selection of performance
objectives that are representative of either MCLs for public water systems, or risk-based
screening criteria based on residential use of groundwater as a potable water supply are
considered protective of future non-residential exposure where the groundwater direct
contact exposure pathway is considered incomplete. The industrial VISLs were not selected as
performance objectives as the environmental covenant will also restrict the property to include
the need for additional vapor assessment and/or potential vapor engineering controls, if future
construction of a new building is planned near monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-11, or MW-
17; thus, requiring a future evaluation of potential vapor intrusion for the majority of the Site.
The selected performance objectives are discussed further below by COC, and the method for
comparing Site data to the performance objectives is presented in the following section.
• 1,1-DCA –This COC has both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic properties. The USEPA
Regional Screening Level (RSL) for residential use of tapwater (i.e., the Tapwater RSL) of
280 µg/L which is based on a target cancer risk of 1E-04 was selected as the
performance objective for 1,1-DCA. This value is within the DERR’s acceptable cancer
risk range and is less than the Tapwater RSL of 3,800 µg/L calculated based on the
DERR’s acceptable hazard quotient (HQ) of 1. In addition, a MCL has not been
established for 1,1-DCA.
• 1,1-DCE – The MCL for 1,1-DCE in public water systems is 7 µg/L. 1,1-DCE is a
noncarcinogen and the Tapwater RSL based on DERR’s acceptable hazard quotient of 1
is 280 µg/L. Therefore, as the on-site shallow groundwater is not a source of public
water supply, 280 µg/L was selected as the performance objective for 1,1-DCE.
• Cis-1,2-DCE – The MCL for cis-1,2-DCE in public water systems is 70 µg/L. This COC is a
noncarcinogen and the Tapwater RSL based on DERR’s acceptable hazard quotient of 1
is 25 µg/L. Since 70 µg/L is the maximum concentrations allowed for public water
systems, the Site performance objective does not need to be more restrictive as the
environmental covenant will restrict potable use of groundwater. Therefore, the MCL of
70 µg/L was selected as the performance objective for cis-1,2-DCE.
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
• 1,4-Dioxane - This COC has both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic properties. The
Tapwater RSL of 46 µg/L which is based on a target cancer risk of 1E-04 was selected as
the on-site performance objective for 1,4-dioxane. This value is within the DERR’s
acceptable cancer risk range and is less than the Tapwater RSL of 57 µg/L calculated
based on the DERR’s acceptable hazard quotient (HQ) of 1. An MCL has not been
established for 1,4-dioxane.
• TCE – The MCL for TCE in public water systems is 5 µg/L. This COC has both carcinogenic
and noncarcinogenic properties. The Tapwater RSL of 49 µg/L which is based on a
target cancer risk of 1E-04 was selected as the performance objective for TCE. This value
is within the DERR’s acceptable cancer risk range and is higher than both the MCL and
the Tapwater RSL of 2.8 µg/L calculated based on the DERR’s acceptable hazard
quotient (HQ) of 1. The Site performance objective does not need to be more restrictive
as the environmental covenant will restrict potable use of groundwater.
• Arsenic –Concentrations of arsenic in groundwater are well distributed across the Site
with fluctuating concentrations in individual wells (low concentrations estimated below
the laboratory reporting limit to higher concentrations that exceed the MCL), with no
known or documented operational source other than the geologic setting. Therefore,
the performance objective for arsenic is maintaining Site compliance with the
institutional control that will prevent use of on-site groundwater as a source of potable
water supply.
• Off-site 1,4-dioxane - Based on the EPA Tapwater RSL for 1,4-Dioxane (0.46 µg/l), on-site
and off-site groundwater was further evaluated as presented above in the Conceptual
Site Model and Risk Evaluation. GE does not control the off-site property and cannot
ensure no future use of groundwater as a drinking water source. Therefore, the off-site
performance objective for 1,4-dioxane in groundwater is set to a concentration or
detection limit equivalent to a 1E-06 residential cancer risk based on potable use of
groundwater.
Application of Performance Objectives
Groundwater monitoring will continue to be conducted at the Site in accordance with the
UDERR-approved groundwater monitoring program and Quality Assurance Project Plan
(QAPP). Proposed modifications to the on-site groundwater monitoring program were
submitted to the DERR dated July 19, 2024 (WSP, 2024b); GE is awaiting comments on the
proposed modifications. The primary proposed on-site groundwater monitoring program
modification included changing the frequency of monitoring to semi-annual, and to focus the
sampling effort on select monitoring wells present at the Site.
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
With the selection of MNA as the groundwater remedy, long-term monitoring activities will be
utilized to identify when groundwater concentrations meet the performance objectives
included herein. Sampling of select VOCs will continue until the data indicate the
performance objectives have been met. To evaluate Site-wide achievement of the
performance objectives, a 95 percent upper confidence limit (UCL) will be calculated for each
COC using the current version of USEPA’s ProUCL. The 95% UCL will be calculated using the
conservative approach to only consider Site data from MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, MW-6, MW-11
through MW-13 and MW-15 through MW-19 from January 2022 to the present date. These
wells are “focused” wells where VOCs remain of interest in groundwater. The selection of these
wells conservatively eliminates utilizing groundwater sample results from consideration that
are non-detect or have very low VOC concentrations (e.g., groundwater samples from
monitoring wells MW-20 through MW-23). Further to the evaluate the Site groundwater
performance objectives, individual concentrations of the COCs will be monitored at the
boundary wells. (i.e., MW-15 through MW-19) and compared to the performance objectives.
To support the evaluation of MNA at the Site, constituent concentrations will also be evaluated
to determine concentrations trends (i.e., stable or decreasing). WSP proposes to complete the
data evaluations on an annual basis using USEPA’s ProUCL, Groundwater Plume Analytics®,
Mann-Kendall statistical tests, or similar data evaluations as appropriate.
In support of the Groundwater RAP Addendum, GE also proposes to conduct two additional
semi-annual groundwater monitoring events for off-site wells A-1 through A-12 to monitor the
concentrations of 1,4-dioxane in off-site groundwater in relation to the established off-site
performance objective. Only 1,4-dioxane will be monitored as GE has successfully
demonstrated that the CVOCs detected in off-site groundwater are the result of an off-site
source. This was demonstrated through Groundwater Plume Analytics® as well as the isotope
analysis described above and in detail in previous correspondence. The off-site wells to be
monitored will include A-1, A-2, A-3, A-5, and A-10. In support of DERR’s request regarding the
presence of the off-site source of TCE, off-site wells A-1, A-2, and A-10 will also be monitored for
TCE.
Contingency Sampling
If the data analyses described above identify the exceedance of a performance objective in a
boundary well at the Site, the specific boundary well of interest will be re-sampled in the
following month to determine if the analytical result accurately reflects groundwater
conditions. If the laboratory analytical result still exceeds the performance objective, then GE
will report the exceedance to the DERR and will evaluate potential corrective actions to be
taken.
If an exceedance of a performance objective is noted for an “interior well” (i.e., not a boundary
well), the analytical result will be incorporated into the 95% UCL of the focused wells (MW-2,
MW-3, MW-4, MW-6, MW-11 through MW-13 and MW-15 through MW-19). If the 95% UCL of the
Groundwater Remedial Action Plan Addendum
-102 October 22
focused wells exceeds a performance objective, the well in question will be resampled in the
following month. If replacement of the analytical datapoint with the new result still results in a
95% UCL that exceeds a performance objective, GE will report the exceedance to the DERR
and will evaluate future potential corrective actions to be taken, as deemed appropriate.
Environmental Covenant
An environmental covenant, when finalized, will be recorded on the deed to:
• Restrict the property to industrial/commercial use only.
• Restrict groundwater use to assessment and monitoring only
• Manage impacted soils in accordance with the Environmental Covenant
requirements and the SMP.
• Evaluate whether environmental conditions pose a threat of vapor intrusion prior to
construction of new building(s) and install a Vapor Mitigation System if appropriate.
Final Report and Certificate of Completion
The Soil RAP was successfully implemented in 2023 followed by DERR approval of the Soil
Remedial Action Closure Report. With submittal of this Groundwater RAP Addendum, it is our
understanding that Site will be “un-bifurcated”, i.e., brought back together so that final steps
will address both soil and groundwater.
The results of the groundwater sampling events conducted in support of the RAP will be
documented in an annual groundwater monitoring report. We will also develop the Final
Report that documents the activities conducted at the Site and request closure through a
Certificate of Completion with continued monitoring of MNA as noted.
Please contact Brad Glisson at brad.glisson@wsp.com if you have any questions or comments
regarding this report.
