Seismic Survey

* Not determined

1.2 gcQpa of Work

The scope of work for this management unit shall consist of the following field activities:

• Fracture Trace Analysis—Analysis of aerial photographs

• Bedrock coring/testing—Approximately five borings are to be cored across thesite in order to define the subsurface geologic conditions and identify potentialmajor groundwater migration pathways within bedrock at the site.

• . Installation and sampling of new monitoring wells—A total of 43 monitoringwells will be installed (27 in the overburden and 16 into bedrock). Subsurfacesoil samples will also be collected during some overburden well installations.Groundwater sampling will be conducted within two weeks of installation.

• Sampling of existing monitoring wells—Groundwater sampling will beconducted during a comprehensive sampling event.

• Bedrock outcrop mapping—A limited field survey of nearby bedrock outcropswill be performed to identify rock types and bedrock fracture types andpatterns. Because onsite bedrock outcrops are extremely limited, most of thesurvey will be performed in areas adjacent to the site.

• Seismic survey—A shallow seismic refraction survey will be performed acrossthe site to aid in determining bedrock surface topography, to delineate anychannels that may be cut into the bedrock surface, and in identifying potentialzones of weakness in the shallow bedrock that may indicate areas of higher

direction and two aligned in an approximate east-west direction. The threenorth-south traverses will run the length of the Avtex property near the easternproperty boundary, near the railroad tracks, and near the river. The two east*west traverses will run from the eastern property line to the river, oneextending from north of the main building to the wastewater treatment plant(WWTP) and the other from south of the main plant building to the river nearSulfate Basin 4. The traverses will be shifted and/or broken into segments asneeded to adjust for surficial site features that may interfere with the survey.A low intensity seismic source such as a shotgun or sledge hammer and platewilt be used for the survey, with geophones spaced out along the seismictraverses at intervals sufficient to achieve 50- to 80-foot depth penetration.Both forward and reverse lines will be run. Supplemental single point verticalprofiling will be performed at discrete locations where depth anomalies aresuspected based on the initial traverse results, and in areas along the seismictraverses where continuous lines cannot be run due to cultural or otherinterferences.

1.3 Unique Problems

The following are unique problems involved with drilling operations:

• Contact with overhead power tines• Contact with underground power/utility lines• Physical hazards associated with the use of mechanical equipment
