SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality

Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA

Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for

further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions

Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team

(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site

which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which

is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work

for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating

E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No

Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this

inspection is to supplement the information gained from the

preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field

in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential

II OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following

paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is

provided in Appendix A

1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data

which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true

for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and

swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was

previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E

will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued

The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to

better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the

quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly

contaminated areas

During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives

established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a

shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located

approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the

hazardous waste sit

After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision

was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four

downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As

planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site

topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses

property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition

waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen

to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the

site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and

the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and

the site

During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground

surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to

warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of

groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a

monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the

wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the

following conclusions

1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more

northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of

the sit

2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State

Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more

detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater

Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to

the east of the dumping area

3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the

boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the

ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available

after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for

additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the

dumping area

4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be

carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south

through the ait

5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the

south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed

hydrogeologic study

6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu

Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need

for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground

penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

31 ON-SITE WELLS

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure

34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site

1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E

plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump

area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results

of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken

at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor

will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached

A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods

All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected

samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract

laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and

analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will

be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil

samples

A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore

hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point

All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet

below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured

from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures

will be followed

The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet

If extra footage is available after the installation of the six

wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling

and analyzing both types of samples

341 Soil Samples

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will

obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground

surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at

intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached

Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will

be representative of the material encountered during drilling

E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile

organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A

small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to

a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial

A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and

injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth

For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from

each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two

(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All

samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of

custody procedures will be followed

One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local

contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in

Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the

latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds

available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The

samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

342 Water Samples

Following the instal lat ion and development of Phase I monitoring

wells a water sampling and analysis program will be instituted

This prograa wil l consist of the following elements

1 Samples for priority pollutant volati le organic analysis (VOA)

will be taken from a l l monitoring wells

2 VOA samples wi l l be taken from the unnamed pond and stream on

Roses property

B-14

T1 Analysis 1M1

3 VOA sjiiplos w i l l be taken of rip i t c r from the dr ink ing

witer w e l l s at the Rose Al l nl iiiJ Oparowski r e s i d e n c e s

Rock Road

5 Samples will be taken for priority pollutant cxtractable

organics and metals from the monitoring well or wells within

the boundaries of the alleged dumping area

6 Hater levels at each of Che monitoring wells will be taken

whenever well water samples are taken

All samples will be analyzed through the EPA national

contract laboratory system VOA samples will be taken in

triplicate Duplicate VOA samples will be shipped to the

contract laboratory and a single sample will be retained by

E 6 E for screening on a portable organic vapor analyzer

Duplicate extractable organic and metals samples will be taken

and shipped to national contract laboratories

After receiving and reviewing the results of the extractable

organic and metals analysis for the on-site aonitoring well

water samples E amp E will determine if a saapling plan is needed

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS

Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from

the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for

approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work

The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon

completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well

l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations

for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent

of the contamination problem

Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of

a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of

contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit
