Executive Summary
This Indoor Air Quality Report #11 focuses on the results from sampling events completed at the
former Raritan Arsenal during September 2014 and January/March 2015. The report summarizes
the recent results relative to prior sampling events. The following types of samples were
collected: indoor air (IA), subslab soil gas (SSSG), vapor recovery (VR), and ambient air (AA).
Buildings requiring ongoing investigation for vapor intrusion (VI) concerns based on prior
results from groundwater and VI sampling were sampled for volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). Figure ES-1 presents an overview of the VI sampling program at the former Raritan
Arsenal. It depicts the various Groundwater Areas of Concern (AOCs) along with the buildings
included in the sampling program.
The primary site Contaminants of Potential Concern (COPCs) for the Groundwater AOCs have
been determined by comparing the most recent groundwater sample results with groundwater
screening levels that are protective of the VI pathway. Tetrachloroethylene (PCE),
trichloroethylene (TCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) are the Groundwater AOC 2 COPCs (see Table
3-1). TCE is the COPC for Groundwater AOC 8 A/B (see Table 5-1).
The analytical results for all sample types were evaluated collectively to determine whether the
VI pathway is complete for each building, to make recommendations for future action(s) and
where applicable, to determine if existing subslab vapor mitigation systems are operating
effectively in removing contamination in subslab soil gas. The analytical results were compared
with screening levels from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
and site-specific screening levels developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
The recommendations for each building are described in the following paragraphs and presented
in Tables ES-1 through ES-3.
Groundwater AOC 2
ES-2
USACE continues to monitor three buildings within Groundwater AOC 2 for potential VI issues:
160 Fieldcrest, 165 Fieldcrest, and Campus Plaza 4. Two buildings (165 Fieldcrest and Campus
Plaza 4) are sampled semi-annually. The third building (160 Fieldcrest) is sampled every 5 years
with annual inspections of the subslab vapor mitigation system. Table ES-1 presents a summary
of the recent sampling results along with proposed actions for Groundwater AOC 2.
160 Fieldcrest – This building had a passive subslab vapor mitigation system installed in June
2008. Subsequent sampling has shown VOC concentrations in VR samples above soil gas
screening levels. VOCs have not been observed in the indoor air. The absence of VOCs in
indoor air illustrates that the VR system at 160 Fieldcrest is operating as designed. USACE
performs an annual inspection of the subslab vapor mitigation system to ensure that the system is
operating properly. Appendix A contains the most recent Remedial Action Progress Report
(Geosyntec, 2015a) that presents a summary of the activities conducted between 6 November
2013 and 18 November 2014 and the system inspection conducted on 18 November 2014. It is
recommended that system inspections continue on an annual basis to ensure the VR system
continues to operate properly. The next analytical sampling round is scheduled for 2017.
165 Fieldcrest – The NJDEP installed a subslab depressurization (SSD) system at 165 Fieldcrest
in August 2003. At that time, lines of evidence for vapor intrusion and building use factors led
NJDEP to conclude that the VI pathway was possibly complete. Elevated levels of both TCE and
PCE in groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the building, elevated levels of TCE and PCE
in soil gas samples collected beneath the building, levels of PCE in indoor air, and the presence
of a child care facility in the building were all factors leading to the decision to install the
system.
The data from the September 2014 and March 2015 sampling events for 165 Fieldcrest showed
that the VI pathway is potentially complete but the detected concentrations are below levels of
concern. Neither PCE nor TCE were detected in SSSG or IA at levels of concern even during the
September 2014 sampling event when a portion of the SSD system was intentionally turned off.
SSSG Results – None of the SSSG sample results from the recent sampling for PCE and
TCE were greater than the soil gas screening levels. The chloroform SSSG sample result
from one location collected in September 2014 exceeded the NJDEP VIG nonresidential
ES-3
soil gas screening level. The chloroform SSSG level in the March 2015 sample collected
from the same location was less than the screening level. No other VOCs were detected
in subslab soil gas at concentrations greater than the site-specific or the NJDEP VIG
screening levels.
VR Results – There were no screening level exceedances in the VR samples collected
during the September 2014 and March 2015 sampling events.
IA Results – The site COPCs (PCE, TCE, and VC) were not detected in the September
2014 IA samples even when a portion of the SSD system was turned off. TCE was
detected in one IA sample collected in March 2015. PCE was detected at four locations
in March 2015. All detected PCE and TCE concentrations were less than the screening
levels. 1,2-Dichloroethane slightly exceeded its screening level at one location (165-5) in
September 2014. Other VOCs detected in indoor air at concentrations above the NJDEP
VIG screening levels included benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform. Benzene and
ethylbenzene exceeded screening levels in September 2014 and March 2015. Chloroform
exceeded screening levels in March 2015 only. The IA levels of these constituents were
likely from an indoor source and not the VI pathway as demonstrated by the absence of
these chemicals in the SSSG.
USACE conducted an intentional, partial shutdown of the SSD system in August 2014 in
advance of the planned September 2014 sampling event. The SSD system was turned off so that
confirmation tests could be performed as part of the initial phase of the system closure plan.
Upon completion of the September 2014 sampling event, the system was turned back on.
USACE submitted a work plan (USACE, 2014) to NJDEP to seek concurrence on a protocol to
allow for a full or partial SSD system shutdown at 165 Fieldcrest Avenue, such that the final
evaluation phase of the soil vapor intrusion pathway may be completed. The next steps to be
taken at 165 Fieldcrest are contingent on the results of a focused groundwater sampling event
that was completed in August 2015. Appendix B contains the work plan and subsequent
comments from NJDEP and responses from USACE.
Campus Plaza 4 – Campus Plaza 4 does not have a subslab vapor mitigation system. The
results from the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events are summarized by below.
SSSG Results – TCE concentrations in SSSG samples collected in September 2014 and
January 2015 exceeded the nonresidential soil gas screening level at two of five sample
locations. The recent TCE levels are similar to those that have been observed previously.
No other site COPCs had SSSG levels greater than screening levels.
ES-4
IA Results – None of the site COPCs were detected in the IA samples collected during
the September 2014 sampling event. The site COPCs were detected in the January 2015
samples but the concentrations were less than the nonresidential screening levels. Since
TCE was detected in both soil gas and indoor air, a potentially complete exposure
pathway exists at Campus Plaza 4, but the IA concentrations are not a concern.
There has been a significant reduction in TCE levels in IA at Campus Plaza 4 when
compared to previous sampling events. The previous TCE levels were due to a previous
tenant’s undocumented use of TCE. Since the departure of that tenant from Campus Plaza
4, TCE has not been an indoor air concern.
The ambient ethylbenzene concentration from the September 2014 sampling event
exceeded its nonresidential NJDEP screening level.
USACE plans to reduce the frequency of subslab and indoor air sampling for Campus Plaza 4.
The next sampling event is planned for winter 2016 at which time the data will be reevaluated, as
will the determination of the need and frequency of future sampling events.
In their comments to IAQ Report #10 (Avatar, 2014), NJDEP recommended implementation of
remedial measures to address the VI pathway at Campus Plaza 4 in a letter dated November 6,
2014. This recommendation was based on NJDEP’s assessment that the observed relationship
among historical groundwater, soil gas and indoor air data indicates the presence of TCE in
indoor air is due to vapor intrusion. A comprehensive review of the data, including a temporal
trends analysis, collected from the building was performed and submitted to NJDEP in a letter
dated April 20, 2015 (see Appendix C). This review concluded that the observed historical TCE
exceedances are primarily attributable to background TCE sources inside the building from a
former tenant rather than vapor intrusion. Consequently, it is USACE’s position that the
installation of a SSD system to mitigate VI is not required and that additional sampling at a
reduced frequency will be performed. NJDEP responded to USACE’s 20 April 2015 letter on 3
August 2015 (see Appendix C) and determined that the VI pathway cannot be completely ruled
out and that continued monitoring at a reduced frequency is acceptable.
Groundwater AOC 6
One building within AOC 6 (102-168 Fernwood) is being monitored. USACE installed a subslab
vapor mitigation system on October 2, 2009 to address VOCs in soil gas. The site COPCs (TCE
ES-5
and vinyl chloride) were either non-detect or were detected at levels that were less than the
nonresidential screening levels.
In April 2011, PCE and TCE were detected in SSSG at concentrations greater than NJDEP VIG
screening levels at the same sample location. However, neither TCE nor PCE were detected
above NJDEP VIG screening levels for indoor air. This indicates that while TCE and PCE do not
pose health risks in indoor air, the remaining concentrations of both constituents in soil gas
should continue to be monitored (Table ES-2)
The subslab vapor mitigation system was modified in March 2011 from an active (electric)
system to solar powered system. Annual inspections of the subslab vapor mitigation system are
performed to ensure that the system is operating properly (see Appendix D). USACE conducts a
monthly visual inspection including measuring the vacuum at each vapor extraction point to
verify the system is operating. USACE recommends annual inspection of the passive treatment
system to ensure the system is properly functioning with sampling every 5 years. The next
sampling round is scheduled for 2017.
Groundwater AOC 8 A/B
Four U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) buildings (Buildings 10, 18, 200, and 205)
were sampled within Groundwater AOC 8 A/B during September 2014 and January 2015.
Buildings 10, 200, and 205 have a subslab vapor mitigation system in place. Building 18 also
has a subslab vapor mitigation system in place but the building has been vacant for years and the
system has not been running. EPA reportedly has plans to reoccupy Building 18 in the future
although the re-occupancy timeframe is unclear. Table ES-3 presents a summary of the recent
sampling results along with proposed actions for Groundwater AOC 8.
Building 10 – VOCs have not been migrating into the indoor air from the subslab at levels of
concern. This is due to the effectiveness of the subslab mitigation system. Semi-annual
monitoring of the remedial system has demonstrated that the system is operating properly.
SSSG Results – TCE exceeded its nonresidential site-specific soil gas screening level in
September 2014 at one location. The TCE levels in January 2015 were less than the
ES-6
screening level. There were no other VOCs detected above the nonresidential screening
levels that were sampled during the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events at
Building 10.
IA Results – During September 2014, TCE (10 µg/m3) exceeded its nonresidential site-
specific screening level at one location. TCE was detected at 31 µg/m3 at the paired soil
gas sample location. The TCE IA level is about one-third of the level found in the SSSG.
One would expect significantly more attenuation from the SSSG and a lower IA level
based on the SSSG level that was observed if the TCE source was from the subslab. The
empirical data suggest that the TCE exceedance in IA is indicative of an indoor source
and not the VI pathway. Further, the TCE results from September 2014 from the other
IA sample location were non-detect. TCE was non-detect in the January 2015 sample
results. There were no other VOC concentrations detected in indoor air samples above the
site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels.
USACE recommends continuing semi-annual monitoring for another year at which time the data
will be evaluated to determine the need for further sampling, frequency of sampling, and
operation of the mitigation system. USACE performed an optimization study (Geosyntec, 2015c)
of the mitigation system in May 2015 to determine the proper flow-rate and operation of the
mitigation system and need for future sampling (see Appendix E).
As a result of the optimization evaluation, a reduction in the SSD system operation is
appropriate. There is a potential for fluctuations in the building pressure over time that could
potentially result in intermittent, short-term TCE concentrations of concern. Therefore, ongoing
operation at a reduced level is prudent. Of the three vents pipes that comprise the SSD system,
SSD-2 has the greatest mass flux so it would be appropriate to focus SSD optimization efforts at
SSD-2. It is recommended that the current SSD system be modified to operate with only
extraction point SSD-2. NJDEP provided comments on the Building 10 optimization study on 14
July 2015 (see Appendix E). NJDEP indicated that the proposed modification to the SSD system
is acceptable and provided recommendations regarding the next steps in the system optimization
process.
Building 18 – This building was last sampled in September 2011. Following the September
2011 sampling event, the building was vacated and the utilities were turned off during the winter
of 2012. USACE and NJDEP agreed to halt sampling as a result. Although no definitive plans
exist, EPA reported that Building 18 could be re-occupied in the future. As such, USACE
ES-7
collected samples from EPA Building 18 in September 2014 and January 2015. The results of the
September 2014 and January 2015 sampling indicate that VOCs have not been migrating into the
indoor air at concentrations of concern.
SSSG Results – TCE exceeded its nonresidential site-specific soil gas screening levels in
September 2014 at three of four locations. TCE did not exceed its soil gas screening level
in January 2015. There were no other VOCs detected above the nonresidential screening
levels that were sampled during the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events at
Building 18.
IA Results – TCE was not detected in any of the IA samples collected in September 2014
and January 2015. There were no other VOC concentrations detected in indoor air
samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels.
USACE will consult with EPA to determine the future use plans for Building 18. If it is
determined that Building 18 is planned for near-term future use, another round of semi-annual
monitoring will be performed at which time the data will be evaluated to determine the need for
further sampling.
Building 200 – Based on the analytical data from September 2014 and January 2015 which
shows that while there were detections of TCE above nonresidential site-specific screening levels
for subslab soil gas, it appears that levels of TCE in the indoor air were less than the
nonresidential screening level.
SSSG Results – During September 2014 and January 2015, TCE concentrations were
detected in soil gas above the nonresidential site-specific screening level. No other VOCs
were detected above their screening levels for subslab soil gas.
IA Results – TCE was not detected in September 2014. The two locations sampled in
January 2015 had detected TCE concentrations that were less than the site-specific
nonresidential level. None of the other VOCs had concentrations detected above the
nonresidential site-specific or the NJDEP VIG screening levels at the indoor air locations.
The vapor intrusion pathway may be complete but the indoor air levels are not a concern. It is
recommended that the monitoring continue at the same semi-annual frequency for the next year.
USACE will evaluate the data to determine the optimum flow-rate and operation of the
mitigation system and need for future sampling. This optimization study was performed in the
summer of 2015.
ES-8
Building 205 – The results from the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events are
summarized by below.
SSSG Results – During the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events, TCE was
detected in all of the samples. However, TCE exceeded its site-specific nonresidential
soil gas screening level at only one location. Additionally, chloroform was detected at a
concentration above both the nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening levels at one location
in September 2014. There were no other VOC concentrations detected above NJDEP
VIG nonresidential screening levels in the subslab soil gas samples.
IA Results – TCE was not detected in any of the samples collected during September
2014 and January 2015. There were no other VOCs detected in indoor air samples above
the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels.
The VI exposure pathway for TCE, the only COPC for AOC 8 A/B, is incomplete and
successfully mitigated as demonstrated by the non-detect sample results in the IA samples.
Continued semi-annual subslab and indoor air sampling of this building is recommended for the
next year. USACE will evaluate the data to determine future sampling needs.
Building 209 – IAQ Report #10 (Avatar, 2014) recommended that no further sampling was
needed at Building 209 due to a consistent lack of VOC concentrations in IA and SSSG greater
than nonresidential screening levels.

160 Fieldcrest The subslab vapor mitigation system was inspected to determine that the system was working properly. A copy of the annual inspection report is located in Appendix A (Geosyntec, 2015a).
Continue annual inspections of the subslab vapor mitigation system with 5-year sampling frequency. The next sampling event is scheduled for 2017.
A workplan was developed by USACE to seek NJDEP concurrence on a protocol to allow for a full or partial vapor mitigation system shutdown at 165 Fieldcrest Avenue, such that the final evaluation phase of the soil vapor intrusion pathway may be completed. The full report summarizing this information along with comments from NJDEP and responses from USACE can be found in Appendix B (USACE, 2014).
SSSG Results – None of the SSSG sample results from the recent sampling for PCE and TCE were greater than the soil gas screening levels. The chloroform SSSG sample result from one location collected in September 2014 exceeded the NJDEP VIG nonresidential soil gas screening level. The chloroform SSSG level in the March 2015 sample collected from the same location was less than the screening level. No other VOCs were detected in subslab soil gas at concentrations greater than the site-specific or the NJDEP VIG screening levels.
VR Results – There were no exceedances in the VR samples collected during the September 2014 and March 2015 sampling events.
IA Results – PCE and TCE were not detected in the September 2014 IA samples. Low levels of PCE and TCE were detected in March 2015. All detected PCE and TCE concentrations were less than the screening levels. 1,2-Dichloroethane slightly exceeded its screening level at one location in September 2014. Other VOCs detected in indoor air at concentrations above the screening levels included benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform. Benzene and ethylbenzene exceeded screening levels in September 2014 and March 2015. Chlorform exceeded screening levels in March 2015 only.
SSSG Results - TCE concentrations in SSSG samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 exceeded nonresidential site-specific soil gas screening levels at two of five sample locations. The recent TCE levels are similar to those that have been observed previously. No other site COPCs had SSSG levels greater than screening levels. Chloroform slightly exceeded its NJDEP screening level at a single location.
IA Results - None of the site COPCs were detected in the IA samples collected during the September 2014 sampling event. PCE and TCE levels were detected in January 2015 but the levels were less than the nonresidential indoor air screening levels. There has been a significant reduction in TCE levels in IA when compared to previous sampling events. The previous TCE levels were due to a previous tenant’s undocumented use of TCE. Since the departure of that tenant from Campus Plaza 4, TCE has not been an indoor air concern.
165 Fieldcrest
USACE conducted an intentional, partial shutdown of the SSD system in August 2014 in advance of the planned September 2014 sampling event. The sample results from September 2014 for the AOC 2 COPCs were not a concern even during the partial shutdown. Upon completion of the September 2014 sampling event, the system was turned back on. USACE submitted a work plan (USACE, 2014) to NJDEP to seek concurrence on a protocol to allow for a full or partial SSD system shutdown at 165 Fieldcrest Avenue, such that the final evaluation phase of the soil vapor intrusion pathway may be completed (see Appendix B). The next steps to be taken at 165 Fieldcrest are based on the scenarios outlined in the workplan.
Campus Plaza 4USACE plans to reduce the sampling frequency. The next sampling event is planned for winter 2016 at which time the data will be reevaluated, as will the determination of the need and frequency of future sampling events.

Building Results Summary Proposed Action
SSSG Results - TCE exceeded site-specific soil gas screening level in September 2014 at one location. The TCE levels in January 2015 were less than screening levels. There were no other VOCs detected above the nonresidential screening levels during the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events at Building 10.
IA Results - During September 2014, TCE (10 µg/m3) exceeded its nonresidential site-specific screening level at one location (010-3). TCE was detected at 31 µg/m3 at the paired soil gas sample location. The TCE IA level is about one-third of the level found in the SSSG. One would expect significantly more attenuation and a ower IA level based on the SSSG levels that were observed if the TCE source was from the subslab. The empirical data suggest that the TCE exceedance in IA is indicative of an indoor source and not the VI pathway. Further, the TCE results from September 2014 from the other IA sample location were non-detect and TCE was non-detect in the January 2015 sample results. There were no other VOC concentrations detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels.
SSSG Results - TCE exceeded its nonresidential site-specific soil gas screening levels in September 2014 at three of four sample locations. There were no other VOCs detected above the nonresidential screening levels that were sampled during the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events at Building 18.
IA Results - TCE was not detected in any of the IA samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015. There were no other VOC concentrations detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels. SSSG Resuts - During September 2014 and January 2015, TCE concentrations were detected in soil gas above the nonresidential site-specific screening level. No other VOCs were detected above their screening levels for subslab soil gas.
IA Results - TCE was either not detected or the detected levels were less than the site-specific nonresidential level. None of the other VOCs had concentrations detected above the nonresidential site-specific or the NJDEP VIG screening levels at the indoor air locations.
SSSG Results - During the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events, TCE was detected in all of the samples. TCE exceeded its the site-specific nonresidential soil gas screening level at one location. Additionally, chloroform was detected at a concentration above the nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening level at one location in September 2014. There were no other VOC concentrations detected above NJDEP VIG nonresidential screening levels in the subslab soil gas samples.
IA Results - TCE was not detected in any of the samples collected during September 2014 and January 2015. There were no other VOCs detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening levels.

Building 200
It is recommended that the monitoring continue at the same semi-annual frequency for the next year (summer 2015 and winter 2016). USACE will evaluate the data to determine the proper flow-rate and operation of the mitigation system and need for future sampling. This optimization study was performed in the summer of 2015.
Building 10
USACE recommends continuing semi-annual monitoring for another year (summer 2015 and winter 2016) at which time the data will be evaluated to determine the need for further sampling, frequency of sampling, and operation of the mitigation system. USACE performed an optimization study of the mitigation system in May 2015 and the results of the study along with comments from NJDEP can be found in Appendix E.
Building 205Continued semi-annual subslab and indoor air sampling of this building is recommended for the next year (summer 2015 and winter 2016). USACE will evaluate the data to determine future sampling needs.
Building 18
USACE will consult with EPA to determine the future use plans for Building 18. If it is determined that Building 18 is planned for near-term future use, another round of semi-annual monitoring will be performed at which time the data will be evaluated to determine the need for further sampling.
Based on there being no site COPCs above the site-specific screening levels for a number of sampling rounds, the USACE recommended no further sampling at Building 209 in Indoor Air Quality Report #10 (Avatar, 2014).

February 2016
1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Avatar Environmental, LLC (Avatar) evaluated the potential for vapor intrusion (VI) into
buildings from contaminated groundwater at the former Raritan Arsenal site in Edison, NJ. This
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Report #11 is a continuation of the ongoing IAQ monitoring program
and was prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New York and New England
Districts under USACE Contract W912WJ-11-D-0002, Delivery Order 0005.
The objectives of this report are:
To summarize and evaluate indoor air, subslab soil gas, and historical groundwater
sampling results at each of the buildings recommended for sampling in Indoor Air
Quality Report #10 (Avatar, 2014);
To assess whether a complete VI exposure pathway exists; and
To provide recommendations on the need for further action.
This report presents the analytical results for buildings sampled during September 2014 and
January/March 2015 within Groundwater Areas of Concern (AOCs) 2 and 8 A/B. These
Groundwater AOCs have historically exhibited exceedances of the groundwater screening levels
in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) Vapor Intrusion
Guidance (VIG) (March 2013). Further, an update is provided in this report for work completed
in Groundwater AOC 6. Table 1-1 provides a status of the vapor intrusion concerns for all of the
Groundwater AOCs.
As recommended in previous reports (Weston, 2006a, 2008a, and 2012), the buildings associated
with Groundwater AOCs 4 and 10 do not require any further investigation or action and are not
discussed in this report.
1.1 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND AGENCY COORDINATION
Activities at the former Raritan Arsenal are being administered by the USACE under the Defense
Environmental Restoration Program/Formerly Used Defense Sites (DERP/FUDS) program. The
Army is the executive agent on behalf of the Department of Defense (DOD) charged with
meeting all applicable environmental restoration requirements at FUDS, regardless of which
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02
1-2
February 2016
DOD branch previously owned or used the property. The Secretary of the Army further
delegated the program management and execution responsibility for FUDS to the USACE.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the USACE must comply with the DERP statute (10 USC
2701 et seq.), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA, 42 USC § 9601 et seq.), Executive Orders (EOs) 12580 and 13016, the National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), and all applicable DOD (e.g.,
DOD Management Guidance for the DERP) and Army policies in managing and executing the
FUDS program.
For FUDS properties not included on the National Priorities List (NPL), the DERP statute
requires that response actions addressing DOD hazardous substances, pollutants, and
contaminants be conducted in accordance with CERCLA. In all other cases, CERCLA is DOD’s
preferred framework for environmental restoration. States or tribes are generally the lead
regulator for environmental investigations and responses at non-NPL FUDS. DOD maintains
lead agency authority at non-NPL FUDS, coordinates project activities with the lead regulatory
agency, and provides notice and opportunity for comment to the appropriate state, tribal, and
local authorities.
The former Raritan Arsenal property was identified as eligible for action under the FUDS
program. The property is not on the NPL. Therefore, the NJDEP is the lead regulatory agency.
Under the DERP-FUDS program, only known or potential contamination or hazards on the
former Raritan Arsenal attributable to former DOD activities (prior to October 17, 1986) can be
addressed.
1.2 BACKGROUND
USACE is conducting various Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) and Remedial
Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) activities at the former Raritan Arsenal under DERP-FUDS.
Through these activities, USACE and NJDEP identified Groundwater AOCs containing volatile
organic compounds (VOC) that required evaluation for indoor air quality as presented in the
Final Groundwater Natural Attenuation Report (NAR) dated May 2003 (Weston, 2003a) and in
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11

February 2016
the IAQ Evaluation (Steps One through Four) (Weston, 2005a) and the Final Supplemental
Groundwater Data Report (Weston, 2006b).
In a March 2003 comment letter concerning the Draft Final Groundwater NAR (Weston, 2002),
NJDEP agreed to natural attenuation as a means of addressing remaining groundwater
contamination at the former Raritan Arsenal, provided no VI pathway existed in buildings
located above the plumes. NJDEP requested USACE to evaluate potential vapor risks at 151
Fieldcrest Avenue, 165 Fieldcrest Avenue, and other buildings near monitoring well MW-114,
which is considered to be a “source well” of chlorinated solvents located within Groundwater
AOC 2 and historically has exhibited the highest detected concentrations of VOCs in
groundwater at the former Raritan Arsenal.
In May 2003, prior to the initiation of USACE’s indoor air program, the property owner at 165
Fieldcrest conducted indoor air sampling that indicated the presence of tetrachloroethylene
(PCE). Follow-up indoor air and subslab soil gas samples collected by USACE in June 2003
showed no PCE in indoor air, but did show PCE in the accompanying subslab soil gas samples.
A subslab depressurization (SSD) system was subsequently installed jointly by USACE and
NJDEP. This system is still in operation as of April 2015.
As a result of the findings at 165 Fieldcrest, awareness of the potential for intrusion of VOCs
from soil and/or groundwater into indoor air at the former Raritan Arsenal was heightened. The
NJDEP requested that USACE evaluate the VI pathway for all other Groundwater AOCs at the
former Raritan Arsenal.
In October 2004, NJDEP agreed that assessment of the indoor air exposure pathway at the
former Raritan Arsenal should be performed in accordance with the Approach for Evaluating
Potential IAQ Impacts (USACE, 2004), referred to hereafter as “The IAQ Approach”. In
accordance with The IAQ Approach, USACE began evaluating buildings located within 100 feet
(ft) of the Groundwater AOCs.
The Groundwater AOCs originally identified by USACE and NJDEP to be evaluated for IAQ
were narrowed from seven to three since the primary contaminants of potential concern (COPCs)

in groundwater are VOCs, mainly trichloroethylene (TCE) and PCE (see Table 1-1).
Groundwater AOCs 2, 8, and 10 became the focus and were evaluated due to historical
concentrations of VOCs in groundwater. In addition, Groundwater AOC 2 includes a building
(165 Fieldcrest Avenue) with sensitive receptors (e.g., daycare center). Subsequent to the
evaluation of Groundwater AOCs 2, 8, and 10, Groundwater AOCs 4 and 6 were evaluated for
the potential of VI into indoor air in accordance with work plans developed in accordance with
the NJDEP’s VIG that was current at the time. Table 1-1 presents the VI status for all of the
Groundwater AOCs.
1.2.1 Previous Reporting
A series of IAQ reports have been developed over the past decade as part of the ongoing
monitoring program. Each report discusses the buildings within the Groundwater AOCs that
were evaluated and monitored along with the recommendations based on the analytical results
for future action by USACE. The following is a list of the IAQ reports:
IAQ Report (Weston, 2005b);
IAQ Report #2, (Weston, 2006a);
IAQ Report #3, (Weston, 2008a);

1.2.1.1 Groundwater AOCs Requiring No Further Action for Vapor Intrusion
The recommendations from the previous IAQ reports have helped to focus the ongoing IAQ/VI
monitoring program. No further action for VI was recommended for the three Groundwater
AOCs listed below based on existing analytical data that were below levels of concern.
Groundwater AOC 4 – IAQ Report #3 (Weston, 2008a) recommended no further
action at buildings within Groundwater AOC 4 based on existing groundwater, soil
gas, and indoor air levels. NJDEP agreed with this recommendation.
Groundwater AOC 6 – IAQ Report #4 (Shaw, 2009) recommended no further action
for all buildings within Groundwater AOC 6 except for 102-168 Fernwood Avenue
based on existing soil gas and indoor air levels. Installation of a vapor mitigation
system was recommended for 102-168 Fernwood along with monitoring on a 5 year
frequency.
Groundwater AOC 10 – IAQ Report #2 (Weston, 2006a) recommended no further
action was necessary at buildings within Groundwater AOC 10 due to insignificant
levels of existing soil gas and indoor air levels. NJDEP agreed with this
recommendation.
Groundwater AOCs 1, 3, 5, and 7 require no further VI action because the groundwater
contamination is not related to former DOD activities. Lastly, there are no volatile contaminants
associated with AOC 9. Therefore, there are no VI concerns for AOC 9.
1.2.1.2 IAQ Report #7 Recommendations
The following are the recommendations from IAQ Report #7 based on the sampling activities
conducted during September 2010 and April 2011 by Groundwater AOC:
Groundwater AOC 2
160 Fieldcrest Avenue – Continue annual inspection of the vapor mitigation system
with a 5-year sampling frequency for indoor air and subslab soil gas. The next
sampling round scheduled for 2017.
165 Fieldcrest Avenue – Continue semi-annual sampling to monitor and confirm that
the vapor mitigation system is operating effectively.
Campus Plaza 4 – Continue semi-annual sampling to evaluate the potential for the VI
pathway.

Building 209 – Continue semi-annual sampling.
1.2.1.3 IAQ Report #8 Recommendations
The following are the recommendations of IAQ Report #8 (Weston, 2014b) based on sampling
activities performed during September 2011 and April 2012 by Groundwater AOC:
Groundwater AOC 2
160 Fieldcrest – Continue annual inspections of the vapor mitigation system with 5-
year sampling frequency. Last sampling event was conducted in November 2011 and
next sampling event is scheduled for 2017.
165 Fieldcrest – Continued monitoring for the next year (summer 2012 and winter
2013) is recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the subslab mitigation system.
USACE takes ownership of the vapor mitigation system beginning in February 2013.
Additionally, USACE will begin evaluations for potential modifications to the vapor
mitigation system beginning in 2013.
Campus Plaza 4 – Since there is a potential for a complete exposure pathway from
groundwater to soil gas to indoor air, continued monitoring for this building was
recommended. USACE will continue to monitor both subslab and indoor air semi-
annually (summer 2012 and winter 2013) and then re-evaluate. Additionally, a
separate study will be conducted in 2013 to investigate likely sources of indoor air

contaminants using isotopes to distinguish between indoor air sources and subslab
sources.
Groundwater AOC 6
102-168 Fernwood Avenue – Continue annual inspections of the vapor mitigation
system with 5-year sampling frequency. Last sampling event was conducted in June
2012 and next sampling event is scheduled for 2017. Continue monthly visual
inspection of subslab system by USACE including vacuum checks.
Groundwater AOC 8 A/B
Building 10 – Although there is not a complete exposure pathway, continued semi-
annual monitoring was recommended (summer 2012 and winter 2013) to confirm
proper operation of the mitigation system. After a year, the data will be evaluated to
determine sampling needs, sampling frequency, and if continued operation of the
system is necessary.
Building 18 – Sample results from this investigation do not indicate a complete VI
pathway. Since the building is no longer in use and has been vacated, USACE and
NJDEP agreed that monitoring will not continue.
Building 200 – USACE will continue to monitor both subslab and indoor air semi-
annually over the next year (summer 2012 and winter 2013). After a year, the data
will be evaluated to determine sampling needs, sampling frequency, and if continued
operation of the system is necessary. Continue monthly inspection of subslab system
including vacuum and velocity checks to ensure system is working.
Building 205 – Continued semi-annual subslab and indoor air sampling of this
building is recommended for the next year (summer 2012 and winter 2013). After a
year, the data will be evaluated to determine sampling needs, sampling frequency,
and if continued operation of the system is necessary.
Building 209 – Although there is not a complete exposure pathway, continued semi-
annual monitoring of this building is recommended for the next year (summer 2012
and winter 2013). After a year, the data will be evaluated to determine sampling
needs, sampling frequency, and if continued operation of the system is necessary.
1.2.1.4 IAQ Report #9 Recommendations

160 Fieldcrest – Continue annual inspections of the vapor mitigation system with 5-
year sampling frequency. Continue monthly visual inspection of subslab system by
USACE including vacuum checks. Last sampling event was conducted in November
2011 and next sampling event is scheduled for 2017.
165 Fieldcrest – Continued monitoring for the next year (summer 2014 and winter
2015) is recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the subslab mitigation system.
USACE will continue evaluations for potential modifications to the vapor mitigation
system that began in 2013. USACE conducted a partial shutdown of the SSD system
in August 2014 in advance of the planned September 2014 sampling event. Upon
completion of the September 2014 sampling event, the system was turned back on.
USACE and NJDEP are discussing the conditions for system termination. If the data
collected in September 2014 and winter 2015 indicate that operation of the SSD is
necessary, it is recommended to replace the current SSD blowers with radon fans,
which are smaller and more energy efficient.

determine sampling needs, sampling frequency, and if continued operation of the
system is necessary. USACE will also perform an optimization study of the
mitigation system to determine the proper flow-rate and operation of the mitigation
system and need for future sampling.
Building 18 – This building is not discussed in IAQ Report #10 because it has been
vacant and was not sampled in summer 2013 or winter 2014. EPA reportedly has
plans to re-occupy Building 18 at some point in the future. As a result, Building 18
was planned to be sampled in summer 2014 and winter 2015.
Building 200 – USACE will continue to monitor both subslab and indoor air semi-
annually over the next year (summer 2014 and winter 2015). After a year, the data

included in the investigation described in this report.
1.3 VAPOR MIGRATION PATHWAY
This report evaluates the potential migration pathway of VOCs from groundwater and soils to
indoor air. Due to their high vapor pressures, VOCs dissolved in groundwater readily volatilize
from the groundwater and move by diffusion and advection (which is actually the more dominant
mechanism) through the capillary and unsaturated zones of the soil, eventually discharging to the
atmosphere at the ground surface. Lateral and vertical migration of soil gas occurs in response to
variations in pressure and can be quite complex. For example, high-pressure weather systems
tend to keep soil gas in the subsurface, while low pressure weather systems allow the soil gas to
move readily into the atmosphere. Variations in soil texture and permeability greatly affect the
movement of soil gas, as do the presence of underground utilities and other structures that may
act as conduits.
In areas where the ground surface is covered by a building or paved surface, VOCs in soil gas
can become trapped beneath these structures resulting in a mounding effect. These vapors are
capable of entering structures through minute cracks in foundations, pipe, or utility penetrations
through the concrete floor slabs or walls, and through foundation drains.
Soil gas entry into structures is usually the result of pressure differentials which are mainly
caused by indoor-outdoor thermal differences, wind loading on structures, and unbalanced
ventilation systems that can result in the depressurization of a building (Hodgson, et al. 1992).
Most buildings maintain an indoor air pressure that is often lower than outdoor air. Under this
negative pressure, subsurface soil gas may be drawn to cracks in the basement or slab floor and

Indoor Air Quality Report #11

February 2016
into the building. A building in this situation has an “area of influence” which may draw
subsurface soil gas toward the building slab from surrounding areas.
Many factors influence the rate of soil gas entry into a building at any given time. Increased soil
moisture, which often occurs in the spring after the ground thaws and snow melts, can drive soil
gas from surrounding areas into the relatively dry soils beneath structures, increasing the
potential for vapor infiltration. Heavy rainfall can also result in a lens/layer of clean water at the
water table reducing the source soil gas concentrations. Frozen ground can also limit the vertical
migration of subsurface gases and increase mounding effects and lateral migration.
Under heating conditions, building basements or the first floor above the concrete slab can be
under less pressure relative to the surrounding soil (Hodgson, et al. 1992). This is sometimes
referred to as the “stack or chimney effect,” and can greatly increase the rate of soil gas
infiltration. For the above reasons, winter and spring conditions tend to promote the infiltration
of soil gas into structures and generally represent “worst-case” conditions. As indicated in
Section 6.1.3.3 of the NJDEP VIG (2013), indoor air samples collected from November through
March are required prior to making remedial decisions as this timeframe is considered as being
most representative of the presumed “worst case” conditions.
1.4 USACE INDOOR AIR EVALUATION PROCESS
The IAQ Approach for the former Raritan Arsenal establishes the priorities for further
investigation of potential IAQ impacts (Figure 1-1). The IAQ Approach, which has been agreed
to by the NJDEP, is a step-wise approach to evaluate the potential for IAQ impacts from
contaminated groundwater and residual soil sources at the former Raritan Arsenal. Steps One
through Four of the IAQ Approach are:
Step One: Complete preliminary inventory of buildings potentially affected by
Groundwater AOC plumes.
Step Two: Develop a conceptual model for each Groundwater AOC plume.
Step Three: Determine contaminants of potential concern (COPC) for further
evaluation by comparing historical groundwater data to Table 2C-GW screening
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02
1-12
February 2016
benchmarks from the Draft Guidance for Evaluating the Vapor Intrusion to Indoor
Air Pathway from Groundwater and Soils (EPA, 2002).
Step Four: Prioritize Groundwater AOC plumes to be evaluated for potential VI based
on sensitive receptors and historical groundwater data. Expedite an evaluation process
where groundwater concentrations are 50 times greater than Table 2C-GW screening
benchmarks. It should be noted that going forward, the decision process set forth in
the NJDEP VIG will be used to determine the need for expedited review of the
potential for VI at the former Raritan Arsenal, if specific Groundwater AOCs and the
buildings associated with those AOCs have not yet been evaluated.
The information gathered under Steps One through Four provide a basis for Steps Five through
Twelve of the IAQ Approach.
Step Five: Using existing groundwater quality data, assess whether there is potential
for a complete VI pathway from groundwater to indoor air and evaluate the potential
IAQ impacts. If groundwater data indicate the potential for VI concerns (i.e., exceed
screening criteria), then go to Step Six.
Step Six: Conduct subslab soil gas sampling.
Step Seven: Compare soil gas concentrations to the subslab soil gas screening
benchmarks. Predict concentrations of VOCs in indoor air based on subslab soil gas
data. If soil gas data indicate potential exceedance of residential indoor air screening
benchmarks, then go to Step Eight. While The IAQ Approach originally required
comparison of site-specific data to the EPA Generic Screening Benchmarks for
Target Indoor Air Concentrations (EPA Table 2C [EPA, 2002]) criteria, this approach
was developed prior to publication of the NJDEP VIG. Moving forward, site-specific
data have been, and will continue to be, compared with the most recent screening
levels provided in the NJDEP VIG and site-specific risk-based screening levels for
select COPCs (see Appendix I).
Step Eight: Evaluate indoor air impacts by conducting sampling to determine if
indoor VOC concentrations exceed ambient air sample results and/or residential
indoor air limits. Identify other buildings for soil gas sampling.
Step Nine: Perform confirmatory sampling of subslab soil gas and indoor air at the
building (to assess temporal variability and verify the initial findings).
Step Ten: If the confirmatory sampling verifies the initial results, evaluate remedial
alternatives for the building.
Step Eleven: Implement remedy for the building and collect post-remedial indoor air
and subslab soil gas samples to document system effectiveness.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 SAMPLING DESIGN
Subslab soil gas (SSSG), ambient air (AA), vapor recovery (VR), and indoor air (IA) samples
were collected in September 2014, January 2015, and March 2015 at selected buildings within
Groundwater AOCs 2 and 8 for VOC analysis. Specific sample locations, parameters, methods,
and dates sampled are presented in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 (Groundwater AOC 2) and Tables 2-3 and
2-4 (Groundwater AOC 8 A/B). The approach is based on the Approach for Evaluating Potential
IAQ Impacts (USACE, 2004).
Under ‘The IAQ Approach’ for the former Raritan Arsenal, the decision to sample indoor air was
originally based upon whether concentrations of VOCs in SSSG exceeded VIG screening levels.
The decision to sample SSSG was determined by the presence of VOCs in groundwater at
concentrations exceeding groundwater screening levels (previously evaluated against EPA Table
2C values, but currently evaluated against the Table 1 groundwater screening levels identified in
the NJDEP VIG, March 2013 version).
In some cases, individual landowners have opted to sample indoor air directly before SSSG or
groundwater was fully evaluated by USACE. In those cases, USACE proceeded to sample both
SSSG and IA for analysis of VOCs at those buildings. The objectives were to confirm the
landowner’s initial findings and to monitor the situation at each building where landowner
testing indicated a potential VI concern.
USACE evaluated the remaining buildings by identifying the buildings that fall within 100 ft of
each groundwater plume, comparing recent groundwater concentrations in each plume to the
NJDEP Table 1 Generic VI Screening Levels for Groundwater (NJDEP Table 1-GW), and
analyzing SSSG below each building potentially affected by DOD-related COPCs in
groundwater and soil. Methods for each element of this IAQ approach are described in the
following subsections.

2.2 SAMPLING METHODS
2.2.1 Groundwater Evaluation
The evaluation of groundwater for a potential VI threat for any buildings within 100 ft of a VOC
groundwater plume has already been completed in the Supplemental Groundwater Data Report
(Weston, 2006b). The following section provides a summary of the methodology used.
The process of identifying COPCs originally consisted of comparing the maximum detected
concentrations of VOCs in wells within a groundwater plume to the EPA Table 2C criteria (EPA,
2002) to determine if the criteria were exceeded at any well location. This approach is
conservative from the perspective that in some cases the only groundwater data available may be
from wells located several hundred feet away from a given building. Generally, VOC
concentrations in groundwater have been attenuating over time, and so in many cases, the
maximum concentrations do not reflect current conditions.
Once it was determined that a groundwater plume contained VOCs at concentrations presenting
a potential VI pathway threat, SSSG was sampled from below buildings potentially affected by
the contamination. The process of evaluating which specific buildings required SSSG sampling
was determined on a building basis in accordance with The IAQ Approach (USACE, 2004).
Specific methods for groundwater sampling, by which the groundwater data were collected, have
been described in prior reports including the following:
Final Site-Wide Hydrogeology Report for the Former Raritan Arsenal Phase 2
Remedial Investigation (Weston, 1996);
Final Groundwater NAR for the Former Raritan Arsenal (Weston, 2003a);
Final Supplemental Groundwater Data Report (Weston, 2006b);
Final Groundwater Compliance Monitoring Progress Report for the Former Raritan
Arsenal (Weston, 2011); and
Draft Groundwater AOC 2 and 8 A/B Progress Report (Weston, 2014c).

2.2.2 Subslab Soil Gas Sampling Method
If a given building required SSSG sampling, a work plan with proposed sampling locations was
submitted to the NJDEP for concurrence. Locations were chosen in concurrence with the
property owner to avoid interrupting daily operations. Where practical, sample locations were
conservatively biased to locations anticipated to have the highest concentrations of VOCs. Based
on the state of science at the time, it was thought that mounding effects would be more
pronounced toward the center of a building. Therefore, sample locations were generally oriented
toward the center of the building and/or plume.
The permanent subslab sampling ports that were sampled during the recent sampling events
(September 2014 and January/March 2015) were installed several sampling events prior to the
events presented in this report. The SSSG sampling point installation procedure followed the
NJDEP Vapor Intrusion Guidance that was current at the time.
Shut-in checks, leak tests (i.e., helium tracer tests) and sample collection procedures were
conducted at each SSSG sampling location following the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
presented in the Uniform Federal Policy – Quality Assurance Project Plan, Former Raritan
Arsenal Remedial Investigation, Area 4 and Area 18A/B and Vapor Intrusion Pathway
Evaluation (UFP-QAPP) (Avatar, 2013).
Per the NJDEP VIG (March, 2013), independent of the helium tracer leak check on the soil gas
probe, a shut-in test of the sampling train was performed at each location during each sampling
event to verify aboveground fittings do not contain leaks. A shut-in test consisted of assembling
the aboveground apparatus (valves, lines, and fittings downstream of the top of the probe), and
evacuating the lines to a measured vacuum of about 10 in-Hg, then shutting the vacuum in with
closed valves on opposite ends of the sample train. The vacuum gauge was observed for at least
1 min, and if there was any observable loss of vacuum, the fittings were adjusted as needed until
the vacuum in the aboveground portion of the sample train did not noticeably dissipate. The leak
test serves as a quality control measure to evaluate the potential for dilution of a sample from
ambient air. The shut-in checks for all of the sampling ports passed (no leaks present).

Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02

February 2016
As noted in the Field Sheets in Appendix F, the helium leak tests (tracer tests) failed for the
following sample ports: CP4-SG-02, 205-SG-11, 165-SG-01, 165-SG-03, and 165-SG-04. The
leak tests were run multiple times at each sampling port where the test failed. Actions such as
adding putty around the sample ports were implemented. These ports will be abandoned and
replaced with new ports.
Results of the shut-in checks and leak tests are presented in Appendix F. Subslab soil gas
samples were collected over a 1-hour (approximate) period using evacuated stainless-steel
SUMMA canisters equipped with the appropriate pre-programmed flow-control valves
(regulators).
A round of SSSG samples were collected from the buildings associated with AOC 2 (165
Fieldcrest and Campus Plaza 4) and AOC 8 A/B (Buildings 10, 18, 200, and 205) in September
2014 and January/March 2015. Tables 2-5 and 2-6 summarize the number of SSSG samples
collected from each building associated with AOC 2 and AOC 8 A/B, respectively. All samples
were analyzed by EPA Method TO-15.
2.2.3 Building Survey Method
Prior to indoor air sampling, it was necessary to evaluate the interior of each building proposed
for sampling to determine if there were any conditions or interior sources of volatile chemicals
that could affect the sampling results. Avatar personnel conducted an inspection of each building
being investigated to confirm the sampling locations, as well as identify any chemical use within
each building. Avatar personnel completed the Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Form
(the Form) for each building tenant space with a tenant representative and/or the landlord during
a walkthrough of the building. The building surveys are presented in Appendix G.
The Form was completed to identify and evaluate site conditions that could impact the sample
results, including any possible indoor air emission sources that could generate target VOCs.
Possible emission sources include cleaning products, new carpet, recent painting, new furniture,
indoor smoking areas, insecticides, and gasoline storage and/or gasoline-powered equipment.

Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02

February 2016
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. That is, there
were no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular TCE and PCE) observed.
The Form includes a list of the products identified during the survey that could impact the indoor
air sampling results. If available, material safety data sheets (MSDS) were provided by some
tenants for the products or chemicals observed. Prior to subsequent sampling events, Avatar re-
evaluated conditions for new products and chemicals being used or stored by building tenants
that could potentially impact the IAQ results, and updated the Form with the date and
observations.
2.2.4 Indoor Air Sampling Method
Indoor air sampling was conducted at locations selected in advance and agreed to by NJDEP.
Indoor air samples were collected over a 24-hour (approximate) period using evacuated stainless-
steel SUMMA canisters equipped with the appropriate pre-programmed flow-control valves
(regulators). The indoor samples were collected from the breathing zone height, when practical.
All windows and overhead doors were closed to the extent possible during IA sample collection.
Appliances that induce large pressure differences (e.g., exhaust fans) were not used 12 hours
before measurements began and during sample collection. Ventilation systems were operated as
normal. Vacuum readings on the SUMMA canisters were recorded before and after the start of
each sample collection and after the completion of each sample collection to ensure that all
regulators were working properly.
At buildings in which both SSSG and IA samples were collected concurrently, the IA samples
were collected prior to collection of the SSSG samples. This was done to reduce the potential for
contaminants that may be present in the subslab soil gas from impacting the indoor air samples.
Two rounds of IA samples were collected from Campus Plaza 4 and the buildings associated
with AOC 8 A/B (EPA Buildings 10, 18, 200, and 205) in September 2014 and January 2015. IA
samples were also collected from 165 Fieldcrest in September 2014. The winter sampling event
at 165 Fieldcrest was conducted in March 2015, approximately one and a half months after the
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02
2-6
February 2016
winter sampling event for the other buildings. This delay was because renovations were being
performed at 165 Fieldcrest during the January 2015 timeframe that could impact the IA
sampling results.
Tables 2-7 and 2-8 summarize the number of IA samples collected from AOC 2 and AOC 8 A/B,
respectively. All samples were analyzed by EPA Method TO-15.
2.2.5 Vapor Recovery Air Sampling Method
An SSD system is operational at 165 Fieldcrest. The SSD system consists of two zones that are
connected to separate fans. They are referred to as soil vapor extraction 1 (SVE-1) and SVE-2.
While located in the same building, each zone is independent from the other. SVE-1 serves the
daycare facility and the adjacent tenant on the southwest portion of the building. SVE-2 serves
the remainder of the building. VR samples are typically collected from each system.
As part of an ongoing investigation to determine if the SSD systems are needed for 165
Fieldcrest, USACE conducted a shutdown of the SVE-2 in August 2014 in advance of the
September 2014 sampling event. SVE-1 remained active during the shutdown of SVE-2. A VR
sample was collected during September 2014 from SVE-1. After the completion of the
September 2014 sampling, SVE-2 was powered on and both SSD systems have been running.
Both SSD systems were operational during the March 2015 sampling event. VR samples were
collected from SVE-1 and SVE-2 in March 2015.
The VR samples were collected over a 24-hour (approximate) period using evacuated stainless-
steel, 6-liter SUMMA canisters equipped with the appropriate pre-programmed flow-control
regulators. The SUMMA canister was connected to a port located on the out-going pipe of the
system using polyethylene tubing and a brass connector. Once the tubing was secure, vacuum
readings on the SUMMA canister were recorded at the start of each sample collection. After the
24-hour sample interval, the SUMMA canister was turned off and the completion time and
vacuum reading were recorded to ensure that all regulators were working properly. The VR
samples were collected simultaneously with the indoor air and ambient air samples. All samples
were analyzed by EPA Method TO-15.

February 2016
2.2.6 Ambient Air Sampling Method
Background ambient (outdoor) air samples were collected for comparison with indoor air
sampling results at each building in order to interpret whether the IA results from each building
were potentially related to ambient sources outside of the building. Background air samples were
collected over a 24-hour (approximate) period using evacuated stainless-steel SUMMA canisters
equipped with the appropriate pre-programmed flow-control regulators. One background sample
was collected while indoor air samples were being collected at each building. The results of the
AA samples were compared with NJDEP residential and nonresidential VIG indoor air screening
levels so that results from the indoor air sampling could be viewed in an appropriate context
reflective of the local air quality. All samples were analyzed by EPA Method TO-15.
2.2.7 Meteorological Data
Meteorological data were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) National Climatic Data Center located at Newark Liberty International Airport in
Newark, New Jersey. Data were collected by the National Weather Service. This location was
considered to be a representative and reliable collection point for the entire former Raritan
Arsenal project area. The meteorological data were included in the indoor air survey forms, in
data tables included in the introductory sections for each AOC, and daily summaries for each
sampling event area located in Appendix H. There were no unusual barometric readings during
the sampling days that could have significantly impacted the results of the samples.
2.2.8 Quality Assurance/Control
Field quality control (QC) samples, consisting of field blanks and field duplicates, are not
required according to the guidelines outlined in the NJDEP VIG. However, during the September
2014 and January/March 2015 sampling events, field duplicate samples were collected for both
SSSG and IA samples. The purpose of the duplicate samples was to ensure accuracy in the
sampling and analytical procedures.
In the September 2014 sampling event, a total of five duplicate IA and four duplicate SSSG
samples were collected. Four IA duplicates and three SSSG duplicates were collected in January

February 2016
2015. During the March 2015 sampling event, one IA duplicate and one SSSG duplicate were
collected. IA duplicate samples were collected by co-locating two SUMMA canisters side by
side and opening and closing the flow regulators at the same time. SSSG duplicate samples were
collected by connecting a “T” valve to the subslab sampling apparatus allowing for two samples
to be collected from one sample port at the same time.
2.2.9 Sample Handling and Shipping
Certified clean, 6-liter SUMMA canisters and regulators were obtained from a New Jersey
certified analytical laboratory as outlined in the Indoor Air VOC Sampling Analysis
Requirements (NJDEP, 2003) and the NJDEP VIG (NJDEP, 2013). After sampling, all SUMMA
canisters were packaged in a box and transported by van to the selected New Jersey certified
laboratory. The laboratory used for samples presented in this report was Test America
(Burlington, VT). This lab is both NJDEP and DOD ELAP certified for EPA Method TO-15.
2.2.10 Data Validation Procedures
The sample data were reviewed to verify that holding times were met and that the laboratory QC
sample data were appropriate and met QC limits. Data verification and validation was performed
by Laboratory Data Consultants for data package completeness, correctness, and compliance
against the analytical method, procedural, and contractual requirements of the project. The Data
Validation Reports (see Appendix L) present Stage 2A data validation results for the samples
collected in September 2014 and January/March 2015.
The overall assessment of QA/QC data review by automated and manual validation of the
September 2014 and January/March sampling events met project requirements and analytical
completeness levels with the minor exceptions noted in Appendix L and the building-specific
results discussions presented in Sections 3 and 5.
The field chain-of-custody and the internal chain-of-custody forms were reviewed to verify
proper sample receipt, storage, sample preparation, and sample analysis. Data validation was
completed using the Automated Data Review software with manual review of any flagged data.

Deviations from the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and project laboratory quality
assurance (QA) Plan and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) were documented, often in the
form of a case narrative included with the data package.
Field duplicate soil gas sample results were compared to assess field sampling precision. If the
relative percent difference (RPD) of an analyte between the duplicate pair is greater than 25%,
the analyte results was estimated (J) for both samples. If the analyte was detected in only one
sample, it also was flagged estimated.
To assess field precision, co-located SUMMA canisters were placed side-by-side for IA sample
collection to simulate the collection of field duplicate samples that are typically collected for
other sample matrices such as soil, as SUMMA canisters were not alternately filled by the same
air “aliquot”.
2.3 AVAILABLE SCREENING LEVELS
Analytical data results were compared to applicable screening levels to assess potential adverse
impacts. The screening levels available for comparison, included:
NJDEP Residential and Nonresidential Vapor Intrusion Guidance Screening Levels
for Subslab Soil Gas (March 2013);
NJDEP Residential and Nonresidential Vapor Intrusion Guidance Screening Levels
for Indoor Air (March 2013);
Site-Specific Screening Levels for Subslab Soil Gas (Appendix I); and
Site-Specific Screening Levels for Indoor Air (Appendix I).
The following is a brief discussion of each screening benchmark, including assumptions and
applicability. None of these benchmarks are promulgated regulatory criteria. The screening
levels that are most applicable to the specific use of the buildings under evaluation were
identified and used for comparisons.

2.3.1 NJDEP Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels
NJDEP has published Screening Levels for residential and nonresidential scenarios for both
indoor air and soil gas. In October 2005, the NJDEP published its VIG. As the title implies, the
VIG is intended as a guidance document and is not a regulatory requirement. However, while the
NJDEP will consider alternative methods for VI investigations, it generally prefers that the
analytical results of any VI investigation be compared with the (current) benchmarks included in
Table 1 (NJDEP Master Table; Generic VI Screening Levels, originally issued October 2005) of
the VIG. Table 1 consists of benchmark concentrations for a number of COPCs, as both
residential and nonresidential concentrations. These concentrations have been revised
periodically as the “state of the science” of VI changes, the most recent revision being in March
2013.
In this report, the sample results tables in Sections 3 and 5 highlight any values where
concentrations of VOCs from the current sampling events as well as historical data from
previous sampling rounds exceed the current (March 2013) NJDEP VIG benchmarks. These
tables are specific to individual buildings within each AOC, and specific table numbers are
referenced within the text in association with each building.
2.3.2 Site-Specific Screening Levels
USACE developed site-specific IA and SSSG screening levels for Building 102-168 Fernwood
Avenue and 160 Fieldcrest Avenue for PCE and TCE. These screening numbers were accepted
by the NJDEP and documented in a letter dated March 8, 2010. However, based on revisions to
EPA toxicity values after 2010 for PCE (revised February 2012) and TCE (revised September
2011), USACE updated the site-specific screening levels as presented in the Draft Final
Groundwater and Vapor Intrusion Feasibility Study (Weston, 2015). Site-specific screening
levels were also derived for PCE and TCE degradation products including 1,2-dichlorethane, cis-
1,2-dichlroethene, and vinyl chloride (VC).
All buildings that are currently being monitored by USACE are of commercial use and are
located in relative close proximity to one another. All buildings are slab-on-grade construction

with similar soil types and all are used as office space and/or light industrial. It should be noted
that 165 Fieldcrest has a daycare facility in use. Site-specific screening levels were developed
for daycare children and adult workers in order to provide the appropriate protective criteria for
165 Fieldcrest. Site-specific screening levels were also developed for residential use. The site-
specific screening levels are presented in Table 2-9. A discussion of the derivation of these
numbers is provided in Appendix I.
2.3.3 Screening Levels Used for Comparisons
The objective of the data comparisons with screening levels presented in the following sections
is to determine if the levels detected in the IA and SSSG (if any) pose a concern for the building
inhabitants. Therefore, it is appropriate to compare the observed concentrations in IA and SSSG
with the screening levels that are most reflective of the actual use of the building.
Screening levels for residential use are available from NJDEP and site-specific residential
screening levels have been developed by USACE. The residential screening levels represent
worst case exposure conditions and over-estimate the type of exposure that is occurring within
the buildings under evaluation including 165 Fieldcrest where a daycare facility is present.
However, for conservatism the NJDEP and site-specific residential screening levels were used to
evaluate the indoor air results for 165 Fieldcrest. The NJDEP and site-specific nonresidential
screening levels best represent the exposure occurring at the majority of buildings.
The list below summarizes the screening levels used for each building.
165 Fieldcrest: as a conservative screening step for indoor air, the NJDEP and site-
specific residential and nonresidential screening levels were used for 165 Fieldcrest.
The NJDEP nonresidential screening levels or the lower of the daycare child and
nonresidential site-specific screening levels (when available) were used for soil gas
screening.
Campus Plaza 4: this building is clearly used for commercial and/or industrial
purposes. The NJDEP and the site-specific nonresidential screening levels (when
available) were used for Campus Plaza 4.

3. SAMPLING RESULTS FOR GROUNDWATER AOC 2
Per the recommendations from IAQ Report #10 (Avatar, 2014), two buildings continue to be
monitored for potential VI issues in AOC 2. The buildings being evaluated are:
165 Fieldcrest Avenue; and
Campus Plaza 4.
This section focuses on analytical results from these buildings for IA and SSSG samples
collected in September 2014 (both buildings), January 2015 (Campus Plaza 4 only), and March
2015 (165 Fieldcrest only). A complete set of samples from both buildings was collected in
September 2014. A complete set of samples was collected from Campus Plaza 4 in January
2015. The winter sampling event at 165 Fieldcrest was conducted in March 2015, approximately
one and a half months after the winter sampling event for Campus Plaza 4. The sampling delay
at 165 Fieldcrest was because renovations were being performed during January 2015 that could
have impacted the IA sampling results.
A third building, 160 Fieldcrest, is being sampled every five years with annual inspections of the
vapor mitigation system to ensure it is operating effectively. Appendix A contains the most
recent annual Remedial Action Progress Report that presents a summary of the activities
conducted between 6 November 2013 and 18 November 2014 (Geosyntec, 2015a) and the
system inspection conducted report based on monitoring on 18 November 2014. The list below
briefly summarizes previous 160 Fieldcrest reports:
The May 12, 2010 progress report (Geosyntec, 2010) included details on the
installation and monitoring of the solar powered fan installed in vent pipe PVE-3, as
well as the system performance data between October 5, 2009 and March 18, 2010;
The January 6, 2012 progress report (Geosyntec, 2012) covered system performance
from March 19, 2010 through the monitoring event of November 4 to 16, 2011. In the
January 2012 progress report, Geosyntec proposed a monitoring schedule consisting
of annual inspections to download wind speed data from the Newark Airport and
confirm proper performance of the wind and solar venting systems. Annual system
inspections have been conducted since November 2012; and

The January 3, 2014 progress report (Geosyntec, 2014) covered system performance
from November 29, 2012 through the monitoring event of November 5, 2013.
The 160 Fieldcrest building was not sampled in September 2014 or during the winter of 2015.
The next sampling event for 160 Fieldcrest is scheduled for 2017.
3.1 OVERVIEW OF GROUNDWATER AOC 2
Groundwater AOC 2 is located within the north central portion of the former Raritan Arsenal
beginning near historical Building 256 in soil Investigation Area 18C. Building 256 has
previously been identified as the source of AOC 2 and has undergone extensive remedial
activities (Weston 2002b and 2004). Building 256 was demolished in 2014. All that remains is
the concrete slab.
Groundwater analytical data from 2005 to 2013 for monitoring wells within 100 feet of the
established AOC 2 boundary were reviewed to identify the COPCs in Groundwater AOC 2. Any
chemical with an analytical result above either the Groundwater Screening Levels from the
March 2013 NJDEP VIG or the November 2002 EPA Table 2C Screening Level for
Groundwater was considered a COPC.
COPCs in Groundwater AOC 2 are PCE, TCE, and vinyl chloride, as shown in Table 3-1. A
subset of wells associated with AOC 2 groundwater were most recently sampled in May 2012,
September 2012, and July 2013. Results from these samples show an overall decrease in VOC
levels. The most notable decrease was observed in MW-114 (a former source area well) that had
historical maximum concentrations of 405 µg/L and 9,820 µg/L observed in December 2000 for
PCE and TCE, respectively. PCE and TCE were both nondetect in MW-114 in the July 2013
sample results.
The VOC concentrations in groundwater at and near the source area in Groundwater AOC 2
historically were the highest encountered at the former Raritan Arsenal, exceeding the NJDEP

Groundwater Quality Standards (GWQS) for TCE, PCE, and vinyl chloride. However, the main
source of contamination (the Building 256 underground storage tank [UST] system and leach
field) was remediated in 1998 through the removal of approximately 2,450 cubic yards of
contaminated soil (Weston, 2002b).
USACE conducted additional remedial activities from August to December 2002, when an
additional 3,500 cubic yards (approximately) of contaminated soil were removed from the
Investigation Area 18C Building 265 Ramp Area, in the immediate vicinity of the earlier source
removal, but from deeper within the subsurface (Weston, 2004). Monitoring well MW-114 is
located immediately down-gradient of the former source area and up-gradient of 151 Fieldcrest
Avenue and 165 Fieldcrest Avenue.
Two groundwater treatment pilot studies were conducted in the Groundwater AOC 2 plume from
2008 to 2010. The first treatment was injection of an in-situ chemical oxidation compound,
focused north of 165 Fieldcrest. The second pilot study consisted of
biostimulation/bioaugmentation at Building 256 (northern portion of AOC 2). This groundwater
treatment has proven to be effective in decreasing groundwater contamination within AOC 2.
3.1.1 Building Survey
The NJDEP Building Survey and Sampling Form was completed for each tenant space
approximately two weeks prior to sample collection activities. The building survey forms for
each building are presented in Appendix G.
The results of the building surveys indicate that the primary use is office space combined with
warehouse storage. One tenant uses their space for a daycare facility. Common cleaning
products, paint, and paint thinners were found in all of the buildings evaluated, but generally in
small quantities and properly stored. As a result, in most cases, these cleaners do not necessarily
constitute “significant” potential VOC sources. The building surveys also concluded that there
were no carpet cleanings or pest exterminations scheduled within two weeks prior to sampling or
during the sampling event.

3.1.4 Meteorological Data
Meteorological data for the September 2014, January 2015, and March 2015 sampling events
were downloaded from National Climatic Data Center consistent with guidance provided in the
NJDEP VIG. The data were taken from the Local Climatological Data (LCD) for the weather
station located at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, NJ. The average
meteorological parameters collected for the dates that the AOC 2 buildings were sampled are
summarized in Table 3-7. See Appendix H for the complete meteorological data.
3.2 165 FIELDCREST AVENUE
165 Fieldcrest is a one-story concrete and steel building built on a concrete slab on grade located
at 165 Fieldcrest Avenue along the western boundary of the Groundwater AOC 2 plume. 165
Fieldcrest is surrounded by a parking lot with a small landscaped lawn area. The building
consists of warehouse, laboratory, daycare, and office space. A SSD system was installed in
August 2003 by the NJDEP.
Two complete sampling rounds occurred in September 2014 and March 2015 and included
SSSG, VR, and IA sample collection. As mentioned in Section 2.2.5, a SSD system is
operational at 165 Fieldcrest. The SSD system consists of two zones that are connected to
separate fans. They are referred to as soil vapor extraction (SVE-1) and SVE-2. While located in

the same building, each zone is independent from the other. SVE-1 serves the daycare facility
and the adjacent tenant on the southwest portion of the building. SVE-2 serves the remainder of
the building. VR samples are typically collected from each system. As part of an ongoing
investigation to determine if the SSD systems are needed for 165 Fieldcrest, USACE conducted
a shutdown of SVE-2 in August 2014 in advance of the September 2014 sampling event. SVE-1
remained active during the shutdown of SVE-2. A VR sample was collected during September
2014 from SVE-1. After the completion of the September 2014 sampling, SVE-2 was powered
on and both SSD systems have been running. Both SSD systems were operational during the
March 2015 sampling event. VR samples were collected from SVE-1 and SVE-2 in March
2015.
3.2.1 Prior Investigations
165 Fieldcrest is located near soil Investigation Area 18C on the eastern side of former Building
256. Several phases of investigation and remediation have been completed within Investigation
Area 18C, including a Supplemental Phase II Remedial Investigation (Weston, 1999). This
investigation led to the removal of one 6,000-gallon steel UST, three smaller concrete USTs,
former leach field piping, and contaminated soils. Additional oil-contaminated soil and buried
construction debris were encountered beneath the asphalt pavement northeast of Building 256
and west of the UST excavation area during the 1998 remediation of the leach field system.
USACE removed approximately 2,450 cubic yards of contaminated soil from this area in 1998
(Weston, 2002b), and additional TCE-contaminated soils were removed from this area in 2002
(Weston, 2004). In addition, pilot studies using in situ chemical oxidation (165 Fieldcrest
Avenue Area) have been performed to address vapor sources for AOC 2. Results indicated
substantial reductions in TCE concentrations since the 2008 baseline (pre-injection) sampling
event in the majority of the wells sampled (Shaw, 2010c). Reductions were also noted for other
related compounds such as PCE, 1,2-DCE, and VC but not to the same degree as the TCE
reduction.
Additional investigations were completed in Investigation Area 18C and in the vicinity of 165
Fieldcrest. The investigations included the collection of additional soil, soil gas, and groundwater

samples for VOC analysis. The results of analyses of the soil, soil gas, and groundwater samples
from the additional investigations were submitted to the NJDEP in the Final Supplemental
Remedial Investigation Report Areas 18C - Ramp Area and Buildings 151/165 (Weston, 2005c).
Indoor air sampling was conducted in May 2003 at 165 Fieldcrest by the property owner’s
consultant, Environmental Waste Management Associates (EWMA). PCE was detected in the
indoor air in building tenant spaces. Historical analytical results for the samples collected from
165 Fieldcrest are provided in Appendix J (Tables J-1, J-2, and J-3).
Subsequent indoor air sampling conducted by USACE in June 2003 did not detect any PCE in
the indoor air. However, PCE was detected in four SSSG samples and in one soil sample
collected from below the building, indicating a potential subsurface source of PCE. Other VOCs
that were detected in the indoor air samples collected during the June 2003 sampling event at
concentrations above the indoor air guidance values were either not detected in the subslab soil
gas samples or detected at concentrations below those detected in the indoor air samples.
The NJDEP installed the SSD system at 165 Fieldcrest in August 2003 because vapor intrusion
lines of evidence and building use factors existed at the time that led NJDEP to conclude that the
VI pathway was either complete or sufficiently threatened to be complete. Evidence included
elevated levels of both TCE and PCE in groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the building,
elevated levels of TCE and PCE in soil gas samples collected beneath the building, levels of PCE
in indoor air, and the presence of a child care facility in the building. The SSD system consists of
20 subslab vapor extraction points spaced throughout the building in order to obtain coverage of
the entire floor space. The 20 extraction points are connected to two blowers that apply vacuum
to the vapors beneath the building. Indoor air and the VR system sample ports were sampled for
one year on a quarterly basis (October 2003 through July 2004) to evaluate the effectiveness of
the subsurface vapor mitigation system in compliance with the Indoor Air Monitoring Work Plan
for Building 165 (Weston, 2003b).

After four quarters of post-mitigation sampling, the NJDEP and USACE agreed to semi-annual
sampling at 165 Fieldcrest. VR samples are also collected during each monitoring event to
monitor the SSD system.
During the January 2005 sampling event (the first semi-annual event following the quarterly
post-mitigation sampling program), four subslab soil gas points were installed in the same
locations as were first sampled in June 2003, including the space used for the daycare facility. In
addition, a total of seven IA samples and one background (ambient) air sample were collected.
Figure 3-1 presents the locations of the samples. All samples were analyzed for VOCs.
Historically, the background air sample was collected from next to the playground at the daycare
facility. During September 2010, the background location was moved to the roof of the daycare
facility and has continued to be sampled from this location or in the immediate vicinity. The two
VR samples were collected from the shed behind the building (west side) and the shed on the
side of the building (north side). These have been designated as the sampling locations for 165
Fieldcrest vapor recovery system since the January 2005 sampling event.
One pre-mitigation (June 2003) and numerous post-mitigation rounds of sampling have been
performed by USACE at 165 Fieldcrest. Sampling events from August 2007 through September
2008 showed decreasing levels of PCE in subslab soil gas. Exceedance of PCE in subslab soil
gas only occurred in August 2007. It was not detected above NJDEP VIG subslab screening
levels in May and September 2008. From August 2007 through September 2008, PCE was not
detected above NJDEP VIG screening levels from samples collected from the VR sampling
ports. During sampling events in August 2007 and September 2008, chloroform and methylene
chloride were detected in the vapor extraction system above NJDEP VIG subslab screening
levels. From August 2007 through September 2008, the following compounds were detected in
indoor air above NJDEP VIG screening levels: methylene chloride, benzene, chloroform and
1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB).
The results from the March 2009 sampling event at 165 Fieldcrest showed a decreasing trend in
VOC concentrations in the subslab soil gas in comparison with previous sampling results. PCE

concentrations in soil gas exceeded NJDEP VIG screening levels at one sampling port (SG-04).
No other VOCs were detected at concentrations exceeding subslab site-specific or NJDEP
screening levels. VOCs continued to be detected above NJDEP VIG screening levels within the
VR system indicating that the system is functioning to remove VOCs from the soil gas as
intended. Although VOCs were detected in indoor air in March 2009, they were likely due to a
non-DOD source(s).
The September 2009 and February 2010 results indicated benzene was the only VOC detected in
subslab soil gas at concentrations exceeding the VIG (SG-02 in February 2010 only). Benzene,
1,4-DCB, methylene chloride, chloroform, and PCE were all detected in indoor air at a minimum
of one sampling location at concentrations exceeding the VIG screening levels indicating that
most of these were not groundwater related.
During the September 2010 sampling event, only 1,4-DCB was detected in a soil gas sample
above NJDEP VIG screening levels. No other VOCs were detected in SSSG or VR samples at
concentrations greater than the NJDEP VIG screening levels during the September 2010 and
February 2011 sampling events. VOCs detected in indoor air at concentrations above the NJDEP
VIG screening levels included 1,4-DCB and chloroform. The main groundwater COPCs for
AOC 2 (PCE and TCE) were not detected in indoor air above the screening levels during
September 2010 and February 2011.
Benzene, chloroform, ethylbenzene, and PCE exceeded NJDEP IA screening levels during the
September 2011 sampling events at 165 Fieldcrest. These analytes were also detected in the
SSSG from the same sampling event. A review of the IA and SSSG results for these analytes
suggested an indoor or ambient (background) source. However, the VI pathway cannot be ruled
out. There were no exceedances of IA or SSSG screening levels in the February 2012 sampling
event. The September 2011 exceedances occurred when the SSD system had malfunctioned and
shut down in August 2011 for an unknown amount of time. At that time, there were no alarms on
the system to alert NJDEP or the system owner that the system was not functioning properly. An
alert system has since been installed in the event that the system malfunctions in the future.

TCE concentrations did not exceed the NJDEP VIG screening levels in subslab soil gas or indoor
air (Weston, 2008a). There was one instance during January 2012 where TCE concentrations in
indoor air were slightly above the site-specific level. Chloroform and ethylbenzene were also
detected above NJDEP VIG screening levels at indoor air sample location points but were not
detected in subslab soil gas above the NJDEP VIG screening levels. The analytical results from
the two VR sampling ports did not have any constituents exceeding the NJDEP VIG subslab soil
gas screening levels. These analytical results further confirm that the groundwater COPCs are
not posing a VI threat and that exceedances are likely from a tenant source.
Data collected in October 2012 and February 2013 showed decreasing concentrations or
continued non-detects for VOCs in subslab soil gas in comparison with those found in previous
sampling events. Indoor air results fluctuate depending on sampling rounds suggesting potential
indoor air sources. TCE in SSSG did not exceed the strictest screening levels. Chloroform was
detected in SSSG above the NJDEP nonresidential screening levels during the October 2012
event. While TCE and PCE and a number of other contaminants were detected in the VR
samples, the results were less than the screening levels. TCE was detected in indoor air above its
site-specific nonresidential screening level. PCE was detected in indoor air above its
nonresidential screening level during the February 2013 sampling event. The PCE and TCE
exceedances are indicative of an indoor source since low levels were observed in the SSSG and
VR sample results. Other VOCs including 1,4-DCB, benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform
were detected in indoor air above NJDEP screening levels but these compounds are not
groundwater COPCs and their presence in IA is not DOD-related.
None of the SSSG sample results collected during the September 2013, October 2013, and
February 2014 events from 165 Fieldcrest for the AOC 2 COPCs were greater than the soil gas
screening levels. The September 2013 SSSG sample result for chloroform at one location
exceeded the NJDEP VIG nonresidential soil gas screening level. The chloroform SSSG level in
the February 2014 sample collected from the same location was less than the screening level. No
other VOCs were detected in subslab soil gas at concentrations greater than the site-specific or
the NJDEP VIG screening levels. The site COPCs (PCE, TCE, and VC) were detected in the VR

samples collected during the September 2013, October 2013, and February 2014 sampling
events. However, the detected levels of the site COPCs were less than the screening levels. A
number of other contaminants were detected in the VR samples but the concentrations were less
than the screening levels.
PCE exceeded its site-specific indoor air screening level at multiple locations in the September
2013 sample results. The September 2013 PCE exceedances prompted the October 2013 sample
event. Prior to the October 2013 sampling, Avatar along with representatives from USACE and
FBC performed a targeted inspection of the warehouse space used by Cembre, Inc. that appeared
to be the source of the PCE. A PCE-containing degreasing/parts cleaner product was observed in
the Cembre warehouse. The tenant was instructed to remove the product immediately and use a
non-PCE-containing product in the future. The October 2013 sampling occurred approximately
two weeks after the PCE containing product was removed. The October 2013 IA samples
targeted the locations with the most elevated PCE levels in September 2013. The PCE results for
the October 2013 IA samples were less than the screening levels indicating that the source of
PCE was removed. None of the COPCs exceeded their nonresidential site-specific indoor air
screening levels in the February 2014 samples.
Benzene, chloroform, and ethylbenzene exceeded NJDEP IA screening levels in some of the
samples collected during September 2013, October 2013, and February 2014 sample events.
Benzene, chloroform, and ethylbenzene are not site COPCs, none of these chemicals are found in
the groundwater or soil gas above screening levels, suggesting that the presence of these
chemicals in IA is due to an indoor source.
3.2.2 Current Investigation
The IA and SSSG samples collected during the September 2014 and March 2015 events were
from the same locations as those in previous sampling events. The most recent indoor air sample
results were compared with the site-specific and NJDEP residential and nonresidential screening
levels. The most recent SSSG sample results were compared with the NJDEP nonresidential
screening levels or the lower of the daycare child or nonresidential site-specific screening levels
(when available).

February 2016
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE and PCE) observed.
The Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs) are provided in Appendix K and the laboratory
analytical reports are provided in Appendix L. All data have been validated as documented in the
Data Validation Reports presented in Appendix L. Table 3-8 summarizes the samples collected
during the current investigation at 165 Fieldcrest.
3.2.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas and Vapor Recovery System Results
A summary of SSSG and VR sample results collected from 165 Fieldcrest and comparisons with
the screening levels are provided in Tables 3-2 and 3-3, respectively. Figure 3-1 presents the
analytical results for PCE and TCE from October 2013 to March 2015.
None of the SSSG sample results from 165 Fieldcrest for the AOC 2 COPCs were greater than
the soil gas screening levels (see Table 3-2). As mentioned in Section 3.2, there was a partial
shutdown (intentional) of the SSD system during the September 2014 sampling. Even during
this shutdown, the SSSG results collected from the area affected by the shutdown were not a
concern for the site COPCs as they were either nondetect or significantly less than the screening
levels. The SSSG sample results from location Celsis 04 for chloroform collected in September
2014 exceeded its NJDEP VIG nonresidential soil gas screening level. The chloroform SSSG
levels in the March 2015 results collected from location Celsis 04 were significantly less than the
screening level. No other VOCs were detected in subslab soil gas at concentrations greater than
the screening levels.
Low levels of PCE and TCE along with other contaminants were observed in the VR samples.
However, there were no screening level exceedances in the VR samples collected during the
September 2014 and March 2015 sampling events (see Table 3-3).

3.2.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
The IA and background (AA) sample results from September 2014 and March 2015 are shown in
Table 3-5. Figure 3-1 presents the analytical results for PCE and TCE from October 2012 to
March 2015.
The site COPCs were not detected in the September 2014 IA samples when there was a partial
shutdown of the SSD system. TCE was detected in one IA sample collected in March 2015.
PCE was detected at four locations in March 2015. All detected PCE and TCE concentrations
were less than the screening levels. For some samples collected in September 2014, the reporting
limits for TCE and other compounds were slightly elevated. This was a result of elevated
ethanol concentrations that required sample dilutions. These dilutions caused the slight increase
in the reporting limits for TCE and possibly other analytes. Samples collected in March 2015
were not diluted in order to preserve the reporting limits for the target compounds.
1,2-Dichloroethane slightly exceeded its screening level at one location (165-5) in September
2014. Other VOCs detected in indoor air at concentrations above the screening levels included
benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform. Benzene and ethylbenzene exceeded screening levels in
September 2014 and March 2015. Chloroform exceeded screening levels in March 2015 only.
The site COPCs were not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and March
2015 (see Table 3-5). There were no significant concentrations of other contaminants observed in
the AA samples collected in September 2014 and March 2015 (see Table 3-5).
3.2.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
The data from the September 2014 and March 2015 sampling events for 165 Fieldcrest showed
that the VI pathway is potentially complete but the detected concentrations are well below levels
of concern. PCE and TCE were not detected in SSSG or IA at levels of concern even during the
September 2014 sampling event when a portion of the SSD system was intentionally turned off.
Other chemicals (1,2-dichlroethane, benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform) were detected in the
indoor air above screening levels. The IA levels of these constituents were likely from an indoor

source and not the VI pathway as demonstrated by the lack of SSSG concentrations. The
analytical results from the two VR sampling ports did not have any constituents exceeding the
subslab soil gas screening levels.
3.2.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
USACE conducted a partial shutdown of the SSD system in August 2014 in advance of the
planned September 2014 sampling event. The sample results from September 2014 for the AOC
2 COPCs are not a concern even during the partial shutdown. Upon completion of the
September 2014 sampling event, the system was turned back on.
USACE submitted a work plan (USACE, 2014) to NJDEP to seek concurrence on a protocol to
allow for a full or partial SSD system shutdown at 165 Fieldcrest Avenue, such that the final
evaluation phase of the soil vapor intrusion pathway may be completed (see Appendix B). The
next steps to be taken at 165 Fieldcrest as outlined in the work plan are contingent on the results
of a groundwater sampling event that was completed in August 2015. Appendix B also includes
NJDEP comments on the work plan plus USACE responses to NJDEP’s comments.
Benzene, ethylbenzene, chloroform, and 1,2-dichloroethane were detected in the indoor air at
levels that exceeded NJDEP indoor air screening levels. However, these chemicals are not
attributed to DOD-sources. Benzene, ethylbenzene, and chloroform were also detected in SSSG
samples but not at levels of concern that would suggest the VI pathway is complete.
3.3 CAMPUS PLAZA 4
Campus Plaza 4 is a single-story concrete and steel building built on a concrete slab on grade
located within the footprint of the Groundwater AOC 2 plume. The building consists of office
and warehouse space and is occupied by three tenants and the property owner’s firm. All four
tenant locations were chosen as sample sites (Figure 3-2). Campus Plaza 4 is surrounded by a
parking lot with a small landscaped lawn area. Campus Plaza 4 does not have a SSD system
installed.

Twenty rounds of IA and SSSG samples were collected at Campus Plaza 4 from October 2004
through February 2014. Current investigation activities included SSSG and IA sample collection
during September 2014 and January 2015.
3.3.1 Prior Investigations
The original indoor air sampling at Campus Plaza 4 was conducted in May 2004 by EWMA
under contract with Federal Business Center (FBC), the property owner. At the time, the levels
of PCE and TCE were reported below detection limits. However, benchmark exceedances were
reported for both benzene and methylene chloride.
Weston collected a round of indoor air, subslab soil, and subslab soil gas samples in October and
November 2004. The results of this investigation indicated the possibility of a complete VI
pathway based on the presence of TCE in both SSSG and IA. However, a Campus Plaza 4 tenant
utilized a number of VOCs in their business operations which could have contributed to the
indoor air exceedances detected during the initial 2004 sampling event. The VOCs with
concentrations in soil gas that previously exceeded the EPA Table 2C guidelines were benzene,
ethylbenzene, methylene chloride, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and toluene, as well as
PCE and TCE. A confirmatory round of indoor air sampling was recommended per The IAQ
Approach (USACE, 2004).
A second round of IA and SSSG samples were collected in January 2006. TCE was the only
VOC detected in SSSG at concentrations above NJDEP VIG screening levels (in three of five
samples). The indoor air sampling results showed exceedances of NJDEP VIG screening levels
for TCE, PCE, and methylene chloride in one of five samples; MTBE in two of five samples;
and 1,4-DCB and benzene in four of five indoor air samples. USACE recommended continued
semi-annual monitoring of SSSG and IA along with an evaluation of potential remedial
alternatives. Subsequently, USACE and NJDEP agreed to increase the monitoring frequency for
Campus Plaza 4 to quarterly monitoring, beginning with the September 2006 sampling event.
However, after the September 2008 summer sampling event, USACE and NJDEP agreed to
continue sampling on a semi-annual basis.

February 2016
The March 2009 SSSG analytical results for Campus Plaza 4 continued to show concentrations
of PCE and TCE above screening levels. However, the concentrations of these constituents in
indoor air did not exceed screening levels. Because of the VOC concentrations in soil gas,
USACE agreed to continue both subslab and indoor air sampling for this building. PCE and TCE
concentrations in subslab soil gas were detected above the screening levels between the
September 2009 and February 2011 sampling events.
The data from the September 2011 and February/April 2012 sampling events for Campus Plaza 4
showed a potentially complete VI exposure pathway for TCE concentrations in the subslab soil
gas and indoor air. TCE concentrations in SSSG were detected above the site-specific screening
levels. Chloroform concentrations were above NJDEP VIG screening levels in subslab soil gas
but not in indoor air. Ethylbenzene and 1,2- DCA were detected in indoor air at concentrations
above NJDEP VIG screening levels, but they did not exceed screening levels in the subslab soil
gas samples.
The data collected during October 2012 and February 2013 continued to show a potential vapor
intrusion pathway for TCE. TCE levels in subslab soil gas were above screening levels. TCE
was detected in indoor air above the nonresidential screening level. Benzene and ethylbenzene
were also detected in indoor air above screening levels. During this period, USACE conducted
an isotope study at Campus Plaza 4 (GSI Environmental, 2013). The isotope study concluded it
is likely that the TCE measured in the indoor air is related to an indoor source.
The data from the September 2013 and February 2014 sampling events for Campus Plaza 4 show
a potentially complete VI exposure pathway for TCE concentrations in the subslab soil gas and
indoor air. TCE concentrations in SSSG and IA were detected above the site-specific screening
levels. At one location, chloroform was detected above NJDEP VIG screening levels in subslab
soil gas but not within indoor air.
Historical analytical results for samples collected from Campus Plaza 4 are provided in
Appendix J (Tables J-4 and J-5).

3.3.2 Current Investigation
For continuity, the samples that were collected in September 2014 and January 2015 were from
the same or similar locations as those used during past sampling events (see Figure 3-2). The
most recent sample results were compared with the NJDEP nonresidential screening levels or the
nonresidential site-specific screening levels (when available).
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE and PCE) observed.
The EDDs are provided in Appendix K and the laboratory analytical reports are provided in
Appendix L. All data have been validated as documented in the Data Validation Reports
presented in Appendix L. Table 3-9 summarizes the samples collected under the current
investigation at Campus Plaza 4.
3.3.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas Results
TCE concentrations in SSSG samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 exceeded
the nonresidential soil gas screening level at two locations (see Table 3-4). The recent TCE
levels are similar to those that have been observed previously. No other site COPCs (i.e., PCE
and VC) or other compounds had SSSG levels greater than screening levels. Figure 3-2 presents
the analytical results for PCE and TCE from October 2012 to January 2015.
3.3.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
None of the site COPCs were detected in the IA samples collected during the September 2014
sampling event (see Table 3-6). Low levels of PCE and TCE were detected in the January 2015
samples but all concentrations were less than the nonresidential screening levels. The IA sample
results for the other compounds were all less than the IA screening levels.
For some samples collected in September 2014, the reporting limits for certain compounds were
slightly elevated. This was a result of elevated ethanol concentrations that required sample

dilutions. These dilutions caused the slight increase in the reporting limits. Samples collected in
January 2015 were not diluted in order to preserve the reporting limits for the target compounds.
The site COPCs were not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and January
2015 (see Table 3-6). The ambient ethylbenzene concentration from the September 2014
sampling event exceeded its nonresidential NJDEP screening level. There were no significant
concentrations of other contaminants observed in the AA samples collected in September 2014
and January 2015 (see Table 3-6).
The analytical data from October 2012 to January 2015 are shown on Figure 3-2.
3.3.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
The data from the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events for Campus Plaza 4 show
a potentially complete VI exposure pathway but the observed IA levels for the site COPCs are
less than the screening levels. TCE concentrations in SSSG were detected above its site-specific
screening level. However, TCE concentrations in IA were less than the site-specific
nonresidential screening level, which represents the actual use of Campus Plaza 4.
3.3.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
The SSSG analytical results from the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events for
Campus Plaza 4 continue to show concentrations of TCE above its nonresidential site-specific
screening levels for soil gas. However, the indoor air analytical results for TCE were less than
the nonresidential level. Since TCE was detected in both soil gas and indoor air, a potentially
complete exposure pathway exists at Campus Plaza 4. There has been a significant reduction in
TCE levels in IA when compared to previous sampling events. The previous TCE levels were
due to a previous tenant’s undocumented use of TCE. Since the departure of that tenant from
Campus Plaza 4, TCE has not been an indoor air concern.
USACE plans to reduce the frequency of the subslab and indoor air sampling for Campus Plaza
4. The next sampling event is planned for the winter of 2016 at which time the data will be
reevaluated, as will the determination of the need and frequency of future sampling events.

In their comments to IAQ Report #10 (Avatar, 2014), NJDEP recommended implementation of
remedial measures to address the VI pathway at Campus Plaza 4 in a letter dated November 6,
2014. This recommendation was based on NJDEP’s assessment that the observed relationship
among historical groundwater, soil gas and indoor air data indicates the presence of TCE in
indoor air is due to vapor intrusion. A comprehensive review of the data, including a temporal
trends analysis, collected from the building was performed (see USACE letter dated 20 April
2015 in Appendix C). This review concluded that the observed historical TCE exceedances in
indoor air are primarily attributable to background TCE sources inside the building from a
former tenant rather than vapor intrusion. Consequently, it is USACE’s position that the
installation of an SSD system to mitigate VI is not required and that additional sampling at a
reduced frequency will be performed. NJDEP responded to USACE’s 20 April 2015 letter on 3
August 2015 (see Appendix C) and determined that the VI pathway cannot be completely ruled
out and that continued monitoring at a reduced frequency is acceptable.

4. GROUNDWATER AOC 6
4.1 OVERVIEW
Groundwater AOC 6 is located in the central portion of the former Raritan Arsenal. AOC 6
consists of three smaller plumes, Groundwater AOC 6A, AOC 6B, and AOC 6C. The northern
extent of Groundwater AOC 6A lies north of the building located at 110 Fernwood Avenue and
underlies a portion of soil Investigation Area 10 within Raritan Center and a portion of Soil
Investigation Area 9. This plume extends into the wetland south of the building located at 45
Fernwood Avenue. The northern extent of Groundwater AOC 6B lies north of the building
located at 104 Sunfield Avenue and extends just south of the southern boundary of Area 19. The
Groundwater AOC 6C boundary begins just south of the southeastern side of the Raritan Expo
Center and encompasses a portion of a parking lot, a landscaped area, a portion of a wetland
area, and an undeveloped area of Area 8.
With the exception of possible DOD-related storage activities associated with Building 520
(Groundwater AOC 6C), source area(s) have not been identified for the AOC as a whole. Other
potential sources identified during a previously conducted file review may have included site
activities not related to DOD activities (e.g., light manufacturing or industrial processes).
The Supplemental Groundwater Data Report (Weston, 2006b) summarized findings of the
evaluation of groundwater for VI potential. A total of nine buildings within Groundwater AOC 6
were previously evaluated to determine which specific buildings would require subslab soil gas
sampling. Of the nine buildings evaluated, two were not included in the sampling program based
on existing groundwater data near the buildings that showed little to no contamination. The
remaining seven buildings were sampled for subslab soil gas during the initial sampling effort
conducted in March/April 2006. Since that time, only 102-168 Fernwood Avenue remains under
evaluation and was last sampled in April 2011 (Weston, 2012). Figure 4-1 developed previously
by Weston depicts PCE and TCE results that were reported in IAQ Report #7 (Weston, 2012).
Groundwater analytical data from 2005 to the present were reviewed and compared to the
screening levels presented in Table 1 of NJDEP’s VIG (March 2013) and EPA Table 2C to
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11

identify the COPCs in Groundwater AOC 6A. Table 4-1 provides data for all VOCs detected in
groundwater samples within 100 ft of Groundwater AOC 6A since 2005. The COPCs in
Groundwater AOC 6A are TCE and vinyl chloride.
4.2 102-168 FERNWOOD AVENUE
Based on past investigations of VI potential, 102-168 Fernwood Avenue is the only building
within Groundwater AOC 6 that requires periodic monitoring under the VI monitoring program.
Building 102-168 Fernwood, is being sampled on a 5-year frequency with annual inspections of
the subslab vapor mitigation system to ensure it is operating effectively and monthly checks of
the vacuum at ports. The building is currently occupied and is being used for
commercial/industrial use such as warehouse and office space. It is surrounded by parking areas
and roadways with some landscaped areas.
4.2.1 Prior Investigations
Since March 2006, there have been eight sampling events in 102-168 Fernwood with the most
recent round of sampling in April 2011. Historical results showed elevated levels of TCE and
PCE in subslab soil gas samples and intermittently in indoor air samples.
Between September 28, 2009 and October 2, 2009, USACE installed an electrically-powered
subslab venting (SSV) system as a pre-emptive vapor mitigation measure to protect against
potential future exposures. In March 2011, USACE converted the existing SSV system to a solar
powered system and performed subsequent monitoring to assess performance. This system does
not have an alarm. It is inspected monthly to ensure it is operating effectively.
The most recent samples collected as part of the ongoing monitoring program were collected in
April 2011 and presented in IAQ Report #7 (Weston, 2012). The April 2011 results showed TCE
concentrations detected in subslab soil gas samples above the nonresidential screening levels.
Indoor air samples were collected concurrent with the subslab soil gas samples and there were no
TCE concentrations above the nonresidential screening level.

February 2016
Additional subslab soil gas and indoor air samples were collected in November 2011 and June
2012 as part of a performance evaluation of the SSV system. The results of the performance
evaluation are presented in IAQ Report #9 (Weston, 2014a). Both sampling rounds showed
TCE results above the nonresidential subslab soil gas criteria. No other compounds were
detected above criteria. TCE results were less than the NJDEP VIG criteria for indoor air and the
site-specific nonresidential criteria for indoor air during the November 2011 sampling event. All
other sample results were below the nonresidential NJDEP VIG and site-specific subslab soil gas
criteria. VR samples were collected in March 2011, June 2011, November 2011, and June 2012
for TCE, PCE, and cis-1,2-DCE. All results were below the NJDEP VIG and site-specific
subslab soil gas criteria. These sample results show the recovery system is operating as designed
and the soil gas concentrations have been decreasing over time.
4.2.2 Current Investigation
No sampling activities were performed in September 2014 or January 2015. The annual
inspection report is provided in Appendix D.
4.2.3 Conclusions and Recommendations
The historical presence of TCE in both the subslab soil gas and nearby downgradient
groundwater sampling location at MW-47, 100 ft away, suggests the possibility of a VI pathway
into the 102-168 Fernwood Avenue building. However, based on the most recent analytical
results for SSSG, IA, and VR samples, the installation of the subslab vapor mitigation system
appears to have addressed this potential. To ensure continued effectiveness of the VR system,
monthly visual inspections of subslab system by USACE including vacuum checks is
recommended, along with an annual inspection of the VR system and 5 year frequency sampling.
The next sampling round is scheduled for 2017.

5. SAMPLING RESULTS FOR GROUNDWATER AOC 8 A/B
The following buildings were evaluated and/or monitored for VI issues in AOC 8 A/B:
EPA Building 10;
EPA Building 18:
EPA Building 200; and
EPA Building 205.
This section focuses on sampling results for subslab soil gas and indoor air collected from
September 2014 and January 2015 to evaluate the potential for VI at the four buildings in the
vicinity of Groundwater AOC 8 A/B. Prior to the discussion of the SSSG and IA results, a
historical description of Groundwater AOC 8 is presented.
5.1 OVERVIEW OF GROUNDWATER AOC 8
Groundwater AOC 8 is located near the northern boundary of the former Raritan Arsenal in the
central portion of the site, in the vicinity of soil Investigation Area 18E. On the basis of
groundwater data from the Supplemental Groundwater Data Report (Weston, 2006b),
Groundwater AOC 8 has been further subdivided into three smaller plumes: AOC 8A/B, AOC
8C, and AOC 8D. The footprint of AOC 8A/B encompasses the former motor pool (Building
238) and the former GSA automotive shop (Building 241), which are known DOD-related
sources of chlorinated solvents. Due to historical VOC concentrations detected in soil and
groundwater within AOC 8A/B, IAQ sampling has been conducted at buildings within 100 ft of
the groundwater plume. The historical SSSG and IA analytical results for the four buildings
potentially impacted by AOC 8A/B are provided in Appendix M.
In contrast, there are no buildings within 100 ft of AOC 8C and AOC 8D. The Groundwater
Remedial Action Work Plan (GWRAWP, Weston, 2008b) recommended monitored natural
attenuation (MNA) as the remedial action for Groundwater AOCs 8C and 8D. The Final
GWRAWP Amendment was submitted to the NJDEP and recommended including AOC 8A/B in

February 2016
the MNA program. In a letter dated 14 February 2014, NJDEP agreed that MNA was a viable
alternative for AOC 8A/B.
The only COPC in Groundwater AOC 8A/B is TCE as described in the Draft GW/VI FS
(Weston, 2013). Groundwater analytical data from 2005-present were reviewed and compared to
screening levels presented in Table 1 of NJDEP’s VIG (March 2013) and EPA Table 2C (2002)
to identify the COPCs in Groundwater AOC 8 A/B. Table 5-1 provides data for all VOCs
detected in groundwater samples within 100 ft of Groundwater AOC 8 A/B since 2005. TCE was
the only constituent with concentrations that exceeded screening criteria.
5.1.1 Building Survey
Two weeks prior to the collection of the IA samples, a site walk-through was conducted and a
NJDEP Building Survey and Sampling Form was completed for each building. No products or
chemicals were observed during the building inspections that could be considered a potential
VOC emissions source. The Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Forms are included as
Appendix G.
5.1.2 Subslab Soil Gas
SSSG sample results in the vicinity of Groundwater AOC 8 A/B are discussed in the following
subsections and are provided in Tables 5-2 (Building 10), 5-3 (Building 18), 5-4 (Building 200),
and 5-5 (Building 205).
5.1.3 Indoor Air
The indoor air analytical results for the buildings within Groundwater AOC 8 A/B are discussed
in the following subsections and are provided in Tables 5-6 (Building 10), 5-7 (Building 18), 5-8
(Building 200), and 5-9 (Building 205).
5.1.4 Meteorological Data
Meteorological data corresponding to each sampling event were obtained from the National
Climatic Data Center for Newark Liberty International Airport. The meteorological data during

the sampling of the Groundwater AOC 8 A/B buildings are summarized in Table 5-10. See
Appendix H for the complete meteorological data.
5.2 EPA BUILDING 10
EPA Building 10 is located within the western portion of Groundwater AOC 8A/B and
upgradient of Building 205. Building 10 is a two-story brick building built on a concrete slab on
grade located within the Groundwater AOC 8A/B plume. The building consists of office space
and is surrounded by a parking lot with a small landscaped lawn area. This building has never
been identified as an area of investigation or a former DOD occupancy requiring investigation.
From January 2005 through February 2014, 20 sampling events were conducted by USACE.
During the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events, investigation activities included
collecting subslab soil gas, indoor air, and background ambient air samples for analysis.
5.2.1 Prior Investigations
Subslab soil gas samples have been collected at Building 10 since December 2004 by the EPA
and USACE. TCE, PCE, benzene, and chloroform concentrations have been detected in soil gas
and indoor air exceeding the nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening levels that were available at
the time of the sampling.
Investigation Area 18E soil and groundwater historical analytical results, less than 100 ft away
from Building 10, indicated the presence of TCE in both media. The available data suggested
that soil may be a potential source of TCE concentrations in subslab soil gas beneath and within
Building 10. During investigations performed by EPA in 2004, TCE was detected in the indoor
air within Building 10. EPA installed a subslab mitigation system at Building 10 in 2005 due to
the presence of TCE in the indoor air.
Since the installation of the subslab mitigation system, PCE concentrations have periodically
been detected in indoor air exceeding nonresidential screening levels. PCE and TCE have also
been occasionally detected in subslab soil gas exceeding site-specific nonresidential screening
levels.

February 2016
Methylene chloride concentrations in indoor air exceeded nonresidential screening levels in the
past. However, methylene chloride was not detected in the groundwater and is considered a non-
DOD compound of concern along with being a common laboratory contaminant.
Subslab and indoor air analytical results from September 2011 and February 2012 sampling
events indicate there is not a complete VI exposure pathway. Subslab soil gas concentrations of
TCE during the February 2013 event exceeded its nonresidential screening level. However, TCE
did not exceed indoor air screening levels. No other VOCs exceeded screening levels.
Subslab and indoor air analytical results from September 2013 and February 2014 sampling
events indicated there is not a complete VI exposure pathway.
5.2.2 Current Investigation
During September 2014 and January 2015, two SSSG locations and two IA locations were
sampled at Building 10 from the same locations as those sampled during past sampling events
(see Figure 5-1). The most recent sample results were compared with the NJDEP nonresidential
screening levels or the nonresidential site-specific screening levels (when available).
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE) observed.
The EDDs are provided in Appendix K and the laboratory analytical reports are provided in
Appendix L. All data have been validated as documented in the Data Validation Reports
presented in Appendix L. Table 5-11 summarizes the samples collected during the current
investigation at Building 10.
5.2.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas Results
TCE exceeded its nonresidential site-specific soil gas screening level in September 2014 at one
location (010-SG-04). TCE did not exceed its soil gas screening level in January 2015. There
were no other VOCs detected above the nonresidential screening levels during the September

Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02

February 2016
2014 and January 2015 sampling events at Building 10. A summary of the analytical data is
provided on Table 5-2. The TCE and PCE analytical subslab soil gas results from October 2012
to January 2015 are shown on Figure 5-1. The SSD system was operating at the time of the
sampling.
5.2.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
During September 2014, TCE (10 µg/m3) exceeded its nonresidential site-specific screening
level at one location (010-3). TCE was detected at 31 µg/m3 in the paired soil gas sample
location (see Table 5-2). The TCE IA concentration is about one-third of the level found in the
SSSG. One would expect significantly more attenuation from the SSSG and a lower IA level
based on the SSSG level that was observed if the TCE source was from the subslab. The
empirical data suggest that the TCE in IA is indicative of an indoor source and not the VI
pathway.
Further, the TCE result from September 2014 from the other IA sample location was non-detect.
TCE was also non-detect in the January 2015 sample results. There were no other VOC
concentrations detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG screening
levels. The complete indoor air sampling results for the current investigation are shown on Table
5-6 and on Figure 5-1.
TCE was not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see
Table 5-6). There were no significant concentrations of other contaminants observed in the AA
samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see Table 5-6).
5.2.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
While there was a TCE exceedance in one September 2014 IA sample, the IA level was likely
the result of an IA source and not from the VI pathway. Thus, the subslab and indoor air
analytical results from September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events continue to indicate
that the VI pathway has been successfully mitigated.

5.2.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
VOCs have not been migrating into the indoor air at concentrations of concern. This is due to the
effectiveness of the subslab mitigation system. Semi-annual monitoring of the remedial system
has proven that the system is operating properly. USACE recommends continuing semi-annual
monitoring for another year at which time the data will be evaluated to determine the need for
further sampling, frequency of sampling, and operation of the mitigation system. USACE
submitted an optimization study of the mitigation system in May 2015 to determine the proper
flow-rate and operation of the mitigation system and need for future sampling (see Appendix E).
Results of the optimization study indicate that the mass flux available to enter Building 10 does
not appear to be sufficient to pose a risk to occupants in a long-term average condition (see
Appendix E). Therefore, a reduction in the SSD system operation is appropriate. There is a
potential for fluctuations in the building pressure over time that could potentially result in
intermittent short-term TCE concentrations of concern. Therefore, ongoing operation at a
reduced level is prudent. SSD-2 is the vent-pipe with the highest mass flux so it would be
appropriate to focus future SSD operation efforts there. It is recommended that the current SSD
system be modified to operate with only extraction point SSD-2. A flow of 10 standard cubic
feet per minute (scfm) is sufficient to capture enough mass to maintain SSD concentrations of
TCE below the site-specific soil gas screening level and indoor concentrations below the site-
specific indoor air screening level.
It is recommended that the system modifications be completed at least 30-days prior to a planned
semi-annual indoor air and sub-slab sampling event. Results of this sampling event will be
compared to the projected indoor air concentrations based on the mass flux evaluation to assess
the performance of the modified SSD system. Thereafter, replacement of the existing SSD-2 fan
with a less powerful and more energy efficient unit would be considered.
NJDEP provided comments on the Building 10 optimization study on 14 July 2015 (see
Appendix E). NJDEP indicated that the proposed modification to the SSD system is acceptable
and provided recommendations regarding the next steps in the system optimization process.

5.3 EPA BUILDING 18
EPA Building 18 is located near the border of soil Investigation Area 18E. Building 18 is a two-
story brick building built on a concrete slab on grade and is located within the Groundwater
AOC 8A/B plume. The building consists of office space and is surrounded by a parking lot with
a small landscaped lawn area.
Fourteen sampling events were conducted at EPA Building 18 from February 2006 through
September 2011. After the September 2011 sampling event, the building was vacated and the
utilities were turned off during the winter of 2012. USACE and NJDEP agreed to halt sampling
as a result. Although no definitive plans exist, EPA reported that Building 18 could be re-
occupied in the future. As such, USACE collected samples from EPA Building 18 in September
2014 and January 2015.
5.3.1 Prior Investigations
During Area 18E investigations, TCE concentrations were detected in both soil and groundwater
exceeding their respective NJDEP criteria at locations within 100 ft of the building. Subslab soil
gas samples have been collected at Building 18 since December 2004 by the EPA and USACE.
TCE, PCE, and benzene concentrations have been detected in soil gas or indoor air exceeding the
nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening levels. The data suggested a complete VI pathway existed
at Building 18. The EPA decided to install a subslab mitigation system in 2005. USACE re-
sampled both SSSG and IA to confirm prior EPA results in January 2006. The results of this
investigation did not support the presence of a VI pathway as no VOCs were detected in either
media exceeding the NJDEP VIG screening levels. However, sampling events continued with
events from June 2006 to February 2011. PCE has only once been detected in indoor air samples
greater than nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening levels However, TCE and PCE were detected
in the subslab soil gas above the NJDEP VIG screening levels during various sampling events.
The March 2009 analytical results for Building 18 showed TCE and benzene concentrations
detected in one SSSG sample exceeding the current regulatory screening levels. Benzene, PCE,
and TCE concentrations in indoor air did not exceed regulatory screening levels for any samples;

February 2016
however, methylene chloride was detected at two locations (018-04 and 018-05) above
regulatory screening levels. Since methylene chloride concentrations were not detected in
groundwater or in any subslab soil gas samples, it was assumed to be related to non-DOD
activities and is also a common laboratory contaminant.
During both September 2010 and February 2011 sampling events, TCE concentrations in SSSG
exceeded regulatory limits at sampling location 018-05. However, IA and AA sample results for
Building 18 did not detect any VOC concentrations above NJDEP VIG screening levels for
either sampling event.
During the September 2011 sampling event, there were no VOC concentrations detected in the
SSSG or IA exceeding the nonresidential screening levels.
5.3.2 Current Investigation
During September 2014 and January 2015, two SSSG locations and three IA locations were
sampled from the same locations as those sampled during past sampling events at Building 18
(see Figure 5-2). The most recent sample results were compared with the NJDEP nonresidential
screening levels or the nonresidential site-specific screening levels (when available).
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE) observed.
Two samples were also collected from the SSD system vent pipes located outside of the building.
These samples were intended to supplement the existing subslab sample locations and represent
subslab conditions as the SSD system has not been running for close to three years at the time of
the sampling. The vent pipes were capped and purged prior to sample collection. During the
September 2014 sample event, the sample tubing was inserted into the vent pipe in an attempt to
get as close to beneath the slab as possible. This technique could not be followed during the
January 2015 sampling as cold temperatures precluded the sample tubing from being inserted to

the desired length without it crimping and impinging flow to the flow regulator. For the January
2015 samples, the sample tubing was attached to barbed sampling ports on the vent pipe.
The EDDs are provided in Appendix K and the laboratory analytical reports are provided in
Appendix L. All data have been validated as documented in the Data Validation Reports
presented in Appendix L. Table 5-12 summarizes the samples collected during the current
investigation at Building 18.
5.3.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas Results
TCE was detected in all of the SSSG samples and exceeded its nonresidential site-specific soil
gas screening levels in September 2014 at three of four sample locations. There were no TCE
exceedances in the January 2015 samples. There were no other VOCs detected above the
nonresidential screening levels that were sampled during the September 2014 and January 2015
sampling events at Building 18. The SSD system was not operating at the time of the sampling
events.
A summary of the analytical data is provided on Table 5-3. The TCE and PCE analytical subslab
soil gas results from September 2014 and January 2015 are shown on Figure 5-2.
5.3.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
TCE was not detected in any of the IA samples collected in September 2014 or January 2015.
There were no other VOC concentrations detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific
or NJDEP VIG screening levels. The complete indoor air sampling results for the current
investigation are shown on Table 5-7 and on Figure 5-2.
TCE was not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see
Table 5-7). There were no significant concentrations of other contaminants observed in the AA
samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see Table 5-7).

5.3.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
The subslab and indoor air analytical results from the September 2014 and January 2015
sampling events indicate there is not a complete VI exposure pathway for TCE, the site COPC.
Note that the SSD system for Building 18 was not running during the time of the sampling.
5.3.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
TCE was not detected in the indoor air and other contaminants have not been migrating into the
indoor air at concentrations of concern. USACE will consult with EPA to determine the future
use plans for Building 18. If it is determined that Building 18 is planned to be used, semi-annual
monitoring will be performed for another year at which time the data will be evaluated to
determine the need for further sampling.
5.4 EPA BUILDING 200
EPA Building 200 is a single-story brick building built on a concrete slab on grade located
within the Groundwater AOC 8A/B plume. The building consists of office space and is
surrounded by a parking lot with a small landscaped lawn area. The building is currently used as
a medical facility (nurse’s station).
Twenty-four rounds of subslab soil gas sampling were conducted at EPA Building 200 from
January 2005 through February 2014, and 24 rounds of indoor air sampling were conducted from
January 2006 through February 2014. Current investigation activities include SSSG and IA
sample collection during September 2014 and January 2015.
5.4.1 Prior Investigations
TCE concentrations were detected in both soil and groundwater exceeding the NJDEP criteria at
locations within 100 ft of Building 200 during sampling activities at Investigation Area 18E.
Subslab soil gas samples have been collected at Building 200 since December 2004 by EPA and
USACE. TCE, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride concentrations have been detected in soil
gas or indoor air exceeding the nonresidential NJDEP VIG screening levels in the past. Results
indicated that a complete VI pathway from SSSG to IA existed for Building 200. A subslab

mitigation system was installed by the NJDEP in 2005 and taken over by the USACE in January
2013. Monthly inspections of the system including vacuum and velocity measurements are
conducted to ensure that the system is working properly.
Analytical data from sampling events through February 2011 continued to show sporadic
concentrations of TCE detected above subslab soil gas screening levels (Weston, 2012).
During the September 2011 and February 2012 sampling events, TCE was detected above its
nonresidential site-specific and NJDEP VIG screening levels for subslab soil gas. However, the
indoor air samples in both rounds did not show VOC concentrations exceeding screening levels,
indicating there is not a complete exposure pathway which is likely due to the proper operation
of the subslab mitigation system.
Subslab soil gas concentrations of TCE from the October 2012 and February 2013 sampling
events exceeded its nonresidential screening level. No VOCs exceeded the indoor air screening
levels.
The IA results from February 2014 for TCE were less than the nonresidential screening level that
is reflective of the actual use of Building 200. While the VI pathway could be complete at this
building, the levels are not of concern for the current use of the building.
5.4.2 Current Investigation
One SSSG location and two IA locations were sampled during the September 2014 and January
2015 sampling events from the same sample locations as previous sampling events. SSSG and
IA sample locations for EPA Building 200 are shown on Figure 5-3. The most recent sample
results were compared with the NJDEP nonresidential screening levels or the nonresidential site-
specific screening levels (when available).
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE) observed.

presented in Appendix L. Table 5-13 summarizes the samples collected during the current
investigation at Building 200.
5.4.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas Sampling Results
During September 2014 and January 2015, TCE concentrations were detected in soil gas above
its nonresidential site-specific screening level. No other VOCs were detected above their
screening levels for subslab soil gas. The complete subslab soil gas results for the current
investigation (September 2014 and January 2015) are shown on Table 5-4 and on Figure 5-3.
The SSD system was operating at the time of the sampling.
5.4.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
TCE was either not detected or was detected at levels that were less than its site-specific
nonresidential screening level in the September 2014 and January 2015 samples. None of the
other VOCs had concentrations detected above the nonresidential site-specific or the NJDEP
VIG screening levels at the indoor air locations. The indoor air analytical results of all
compounds are provided on Table 5-8. The TCE and PCE analytical results for indoor air are
shown on Figure 5-3.
TCE was not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see
Table 5-8). There were no significant concentrations of other contaminants observed in the AA
samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see Table 5-8).
5.4.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
During the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events, TCE was detected above its
nonresidential site-specific screening levels for subslab soil gas. However, the IA results for TCE
were either not detected or were detected at levels that were less than its nonresidential screening
level. While the VI pathway could be complete at this building, the levels are not of concern for
the current use of the building.

5.4.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the analytical data from September 2014 and January 2015 which shows that while
there were detections of TCE above its nonresidential site-specific screening levels for subslab
soil gas, the levels of TCE in the indoor air were less than the nonresidential screening level. The
incomplete exposure pathway via subslab soil gas is likely due to the presence of the subslab
mitigation system. It should be noted that there is no vent on this system that would allow VR
samples to be collected. It is recommended that the monitoring continue at the same semi-annual
frequency for the next year. USACE will evaluate the data to determine the optimum flow-rate
and operation of the mitigation system and need for future sampling. This optimization study
was scheduled to be performed in the summer of 2015.
5.5 EPA BUILDING 205
EPA Building 205 is a single-story brick building built on a concrete slab on grade, located
within the Groundwater AOC 8A/B plume. The building is surrounded by a parking lot with a
small landscaped area and contains EPA offices and warehouse space.
Twenty-one rounds of subslab soil gas sampling events were conducted by USACE from
January 2005 through February 2014, and 21 rounds of indoor air sampling were conducted from
January 2006 through February 2014. Current investigation activities include SSSG and IA
sample collection during the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events.
5.5.1 Prior Investigations
TCE concentrations were detected in both soil and groundwater exceeding NJDEP criteria
(current at the time) at locations within 100 ft of Building 205 during sampling activities at
Investigation Area 18E. Subslab soil gas samples have been collected at Building 205 since
December 2004 by EPA and January 2005 by USACE. Benzene, carbon tetrachloride,
chloroform, and TCE were detected in subslab soil gas exceeding the EPA Table 2C-SSG
screening benchmarks (EPA, 2002). In addition, TCE concentrations were detected in the indoor
air by EPA, suggesting soil gas as a source of the TCE concentrations detected during the EPA
investigation. The EPA installed a subslab mitigation system in 2005.
Former Raritan Arsenal
Indoor Air Quality Report #11
FUDS Project Number C02NJ0084-02
5-14
February 2016
USACE collected a subsequent round of subslab soil gas and indoor air samples in January 2006.
The results of this investigation did not suggest the presence of a complete VI pathway as TCE
was detected in subslab soil gas at a concentration exceeding the nonresidential NJDEP VIG
screening levels; but was not detected in indoor air above these levels.
In June 2008, September 2008, and March 2009, PCE and TCE were not detected above the
NJDEP VIG regulatory screening levels. However, the September 2010 and February 2011
results did show the presence of TCE and PCE in the SSSG samples. Building 205 was
undergoing renovations during these sampling events and sampling results could have been
affected by those activities. Methylene chloride was also detected in the subslab soil gas above
NJDEP VIG screening levels during previous investigations and in indoor air at two locations
(205-11 and 205-19). Since methylene chloride was not detected in groundwater, it is assumed to
be related to non-DOD activities and is also a common laboratory contaminant. Continued semi-
annual subslab and indoor air sampling of this building was recommended in IAQ Report #7
(Weston, 2012).
As described in IAQ Report #8 (Weston, 2014b), while TCE and chloroform were detected in
soil gas during both sampling events, neither was detected in the indoor air above NJDEP VIG
screening levels. This is likely due to Building 205 having a subslab mitigation system. The
methylene chloride concentrations in the indoor air analytical results are likely to be from an
indoor source or a laboratory contaminant since it was not detected in subslab soil gas.
Sampling conducted in October 2012 and February 2013 identified subslab soil gas
concentrations of TCE from both sampling events that exceeded its nonresidential screening
level. Chloroform was detected in the subslab soil gas above nonresidential criteria. There were
no groundwater-related VOCs exceeding the indoor air screening levels.
While TCE and chloroform were detected in soil gas during both the September 2013 and
February 2014 sampling events, neither was detected in the indoor air above screening levels.
This is likely due to Building 205 having a subslab mitigation system. The methylene chloride
concentrations in the indoor air are likely due to laboratory contamination or an indoor source

since there is not a complete exposure pathway as it was not detected to any significant degree in
SSSG.
5.5.2 Current Investigation
Five SSSG locations and five IA locations were sampled during the September 2014 and January
2015 sampling events from the same sample locations as previous sampling events. The SSD
system was running at the time of the sampling. Subslab soil gas and indoor air sample locations
for EPA Building 205 are shown on Figure 5-4. The most recent sample results were compared
with the NJDEP nonresidential screening levels or the nonresidential site-specific screening
levels (when available).
A pre-sampling walk-through was conducted two weeks prior to sampling to verify the locations
of the subslab soil gas sampling points and to update the building survey (see Appendix G).
There were no significant changes to the inventory forms since the previous event. There were
no clearly identifiable sources of VOCs (in particular, TCE) observed.
The EDDs are provided in Appendix K and the laboratory analytical reports are provided in
Appendix L. All data have been validated as documented in the Data Validation Reports
presented in Appendix L. Table 5-14 summarizes the samples collected during the current
investigation at Building 205.
5.5.2.1 Subslab Soil Gas Sampling Results
The subslab soil gas results for the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events at
Building 205 are shown on Table 5-5. The sample locations along with the PCE and TCE results
are depicted on Figure 5-4.
During the September 2014 and January 2015 sampling events, the analytical results of subslab
soil gas indicated that TCE was detected at every location but only had one concentration above
its site-specific nonresidential soil gas screening level.
Additionally, chloroform was detected at a concentration above both the nonresidential NJDEP
VIG screening levels at one location in September 2014. There were no other VOC

concentrations detected above NJDEP VIG residential and nonresidential screening levels in the
subslab soil gas samples.
5.5.2.2 Indoor Air and Background Sampling Results
TCE was not detected in any of the samples collected during September 2014 and January 2015.
There were no other VOCs detected in indoor air samples above the site-specific or NJDEP VIG
screening levels. The indoor air sampling results for the current investigation are shown on
Table 5-9 and on Figure 5-4.
TCE was not detected in the AA samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see
Table 5-9). There were no significant concentrations of other contaminants observed in the AA
samples collected in September 2014 and January 2015 (see Table 5-9).
5.5.3 Integrated Discussion of Results
While TCE and chloroform were detected in soil gas during both sampling events, neither was
detected in the indoor air above screening levels. This is likely due to Building 205 having a
subslab mitigation system.
5.5.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
Since TCE was not detected in indoor air at any significant levels, it is assumed that the VI
exposure pathway is incomplete and successfully mitigated. It is concluded that the installation
of a subslab mitigation system at Building 205 has successfully addressed the potential for VI.
Continued semi-annual subslab and indoor air sampling of this building is recommended for the
next year. USACE will evaluate the data to determine future sampling needs.
