Groundwater is present beneath the Site at depths ranging from less than 2 ft bgs to 18 ft bgs; therefore, <br /> dewatering may be necessary to facilitate excavation and backfilling. <br /> 4.3.5 Test Pit <br /> S-1: Based on the soil analytical data, EEC anticipates the approximate depth of the test pit will be 9 ft <br /> bgs. As soil is removed, subsurface conditions will be inspected for soil lithology and visual and/or <br /> olfactory evidence of impact (e.g. staining, odors, etc.). Grab soil samples will be collected every <br /> approximate 2 ft bgs and screened using a PID to the maximum depth of the test pit. If no evidence of <br /> impact is observed, one soil sample will be selected for laboratory analysis from terminus depth of the <br /> test pit (approximately 9 ft bgs). The purpose of the test pit is to confirm soil at this location is below <br /> MTCA Method A screening levels. If evidence of impact is observed during the completion of the test <br /> pit, impacted soils will be excavated. Confirmatory soil samples will be collected once the anticipated <br /> excavation vertical and lateral extents are achieved. A minimum of five confirmatory soil samples will <br /> be collected from the excavation. One confirmatory soil sample will be collected from the base of the <br /> excavation at approximately 9 ft bgs. One confirmatory soil sample will be collected from each <br /> sidewall of the excavation. Soil samples will be selected for laboratory analysis based on the highest <br /> PID reading or area exhibiting visual or olfactory evidence of impact. The purpose of this area <br /> excavation is to remove soil exceeding the MTCA Method A Cleanup Levels. <br /> Soil samples will be analyzed for TPHo using Method NWTPH-Dx in conjunction with the silica gel <br /> method. Soil samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory with an expedited, three-day TAT. <br /> Upon completion of the sampling activities, the test pit and/or excavation will be backfilled with <br /> "clean" soil as detailed in Section 4.3.4. <br /> 4.4 Groundwater Monitoring <br /> Long-term compliance groundwater monitoring will be conducted on monitoring wells MW-1, MW-7, <br /> and MW-8 at a quarterly frequency for one year, analyzing for TPHo only. Based on the monitoring <br /> results, additional groundwater monitoring or well decommissioning activities may be recommended. <br /> Groundwater sampling will be conducted via the low flow sampling technique. Groundwater samples <br /> will be analyzed for TPHo using Method NWTPH-Dx in conjunction with the silica gel cleanup. The <br /> groundwater samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory on a standard (two-week) TAT. <br /> 4.5 Remediation Waste Disposal <br /> Excavated materials will be staged either in on-Site roll-off bins pending waste characterization and <br /> subsequent off-Site disposal at a properly permitted facility or placed onto plastic sheeting for <br /> subsequent use as backfill material as described in Section 4.3. Materials placed into the on-Site <br /> roll-off bins should be free of moisture to the extent practical. Water generated during excavation <br /> activities (dewatering) will be placed in 55-gallon drums staged on Site pending waste characterization <br /> and subsequent off-Site disposal at a properly permitted facility. Depending on the volume of water <br /> encountered during excavation activities, a vacuum truck (vac truck) may be required. <br /> Decontamination and development water generated during groundwater sampling activities will be <br /> 017386-174(123) 9 THIS DOCUMENT IS PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER <br /> Encore Environmental Consortium,LLC <br />
