COMPREHENSIVE GROUND WATER MONITORING EVALUATIONSOLUTIA, INC.

ANNISTON, ALABAMA99-0370

INTRODUCTION

On April 7-9, 1999, a comprehensive ground water monitoring evaluation (CME) wasconducted at the Solutia, Inc. facility in Anniston, Alabama. This CME was requested by theUSEP A RCRA Enforcement and Compliance Branch to determine compliance with the applicableground water monitoring regulations and to evaluate quality assurance and quality control(QA/QC) of the ground water sample collection/handling procedures. The CME also determinesif the monitoring well system will yield representative ground water samples, reliable hydrologicdata and to identify any deficiencies in the present ground water monitoring system.

The CME was performed by USEPA Science and Ecosystem Division (SESD) HazardousWaste Section (HWS) personnel S.E. Matthews. The CME consisted of a review of the USEPARegion IV files, facility files and a site visit. The Alabama Department of EnvironmentalManagement (ADEM) performed an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) inspection at the sametime. The following personnel were present during all or most of the well sampling:

Jerry Hopper Solutia, Inc. (205)231-8483Richard Williams R.S. Williams & Assoc. (630) 579-0275KathyKeller ADEM (334)271-7700JimGrassiano ADEM (334)271-7700Gayle Pittman Colder Assoc.

ADEM personnel elected not to split samples with Solutia for the ground watermonitoring wells. SESD-HWS personnel requested lab data packages for monitoring wells MW-1B, MW-11 A, OW-16A and OW-19 for laboratory QA/QC evaluation. The evaluation of the labdata packages will be reported in a separate memo prepared by the SESD Office of QualityAssurance.

ADEM personnel conducted the CME in a professional and knowledgeable manner andwere very familiar with facility operations and applicable regulatory requirements. Solutiapersonnel answered questions and conducted well purging and sample handling techniques in acompetent manner. All documents requested as part of the SESD-CME were made readilyavailable for review. At the time of the SESD-CME, the ground water monitoring system was incompliance with the applicable ground water monitoring requirements. Problems noted duringthe April 1997 ADEM CME had been adequately corrected. A copy of the USEPA CMEChecklist used during the evaluation is included in Appendix A.

SITE BACKGROUND

Facility Description and Operations

The Solutia plant is located on Alabama Highway 202, west of the City of Anniston, inCalhoun County (Figure 1). The facility began operations in 1917, with the formation of theSouthern Manganese Corporation (SMC). The company initially manufactured ferro-manganese,ferro-silicon, ferro-phosphorus and later phosphoric acid. In the 1920's, the facility beganproducing Aroclor (PCBs), phosphoric acid and polyphenyl, which is still today one of the majorproduct families. Monsanto held a permit to discharge its process wastewater from the operationto Snow Creek. SMC became Swann Chemical Company in 1930. The facility was purchased byMonsanto in 1935 and became the new Phosphate Division. The plant became the InorganicDivision in 1954, but was then transferred to the Organic Chemicals Division. The plant remainedpart of that division until the early 1970's, when the site passed to the Agricultural ProductsCompany.

In 1957, parathion and methyl parathion production began and the production of biphenylwas started in 1960. From the 1950's to 1969 the facility also manufactured chlorine for use inthe synthesis of other products. In 1971 Aroclor production ceased and in 1972 the productionunit was dismantled. In 1985 Monsanto announced its intent to withdraw from the parathion andmethyl parathion pesticide manufacturing business and in June 1986, ceased operations. Thatidled about two-thirds of the plant, leaving only the manufacturing of industrial organic chemicals.In January 1987, the Chemical Company of Monsanto took over control of the plant site.P-nitrophenol production began in 1965 and is manufactured through the hydrolysis of para-nitrochlorobenzene. Polyphenyl, produced by the pyrolysis of benzene, began production in 1960.Para nitrophenol (PNP) and polyphenyl are still produced at the facility. Monsanto spun itschemical business off as a separate company under the name Solutia, Inc. in September 1997.

Monsanto owned and operated a fully permitted hazardous waste landfill, containerstorage area, and storage tank until they were closed as per ADEM-approved closure plans in1989 and 1993. The landfill is currently maintained under a post-closure care plan. The landfillwas used for the disposal of production wastes that were collected into dumpsters. The landfillwas closed in June 1989. The container storage area was inside an existing warehouse and wasused to store wastes in drums prior to shipment for disposal in off-site permitted hazardous wastetreatment, storage and disposal facilities. The container storage area was certified closed byADEM in August 1989. The hazardous waste storage tank containing Therminol® ends (benzenecontent of 1.0 ppm) became hazardous in September 1990 due to the Toxicity CharacteristicRule. The tank was certified closed by ADEM in October 1993.

Aqueous production wastes flow through sewers to a facility-owned and operatedbiological industrial wastewater treatment plant. This treatment plant was built in 1961 to carryout primary and secondary waste treatment prior to discharge to the Anniston Publicly OwnedTreatment Works. A portion of the wastewater influent was partially neutralized prior tobiological treatment in a non-disposal surface impoundment limestone bed. This unit was certifiedclosed by ADEM in July 1988.

Page 4: MEMORANDUM FROM S.E. MATTHEWS, USEPA TO LAURIE …the characteristic of corrosivity (D002). Also, the column bottoms from an acetone recovery distillation column (F003) flowed through

The facility currently operates only mixed laboratory solvents (F003/F005) and wastebenzene solutions (U019) which are stored less than 90 days prior to being shipped off fordisposal at a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility.

There are two closed permitted hazardous waste management areas where wastes weredisposed of or where waste residues remain. These areas require ground water monitoring. Theareas include landfill Cells 4E and 5E known as Waste Management Area I (WMA-I) and thenon-disposal limestone bed surface impoundment known as Waste Management Area II (WMA-II). In addition to the waste management areas, the facility is required to monitor the groundwater remediation activities at Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs), which include aneutralization impoundment and seven closed landfill cells.

Monsanto received EPA and ADEM Hazardous Waste permits in September 1986, forthe operation of a hazardous waste container storage areas, a surface impoundment and twolandfill cells. The permit also included ground water corrective action systems for the closedlandfills and a closed surface impoundment to remediate parathion and PNP contamination.

In January 1997, the Renewed Post-Closure Permit was issued to Monsanto incorporatinga combined ground water monitoring program for the SWMUs and the WMAs. Under thecurrent permit, the facility is required to monitor ground water quality from selected wells at theSWMUs and WMAs on a semi-annual basis and report the ground water flow rate and directionon an annual basis.

Landfill Cells 4E and 5E (WMA-D - SWMU 1

Landfill cells 4E and 5E were used for the disposal of general trash generated within theparathion and p-nitrophenol production areas. This trash was potentially contaminated withparathion (P089), methyl parathion (P071) and p-nitrophenol (U170). These wastes werecollected in dumpsters located at various points within the manufacturing area. The landfill cellswere also permitted for the disposal of residue or contaminated soil and other debris resultingfrom the cleanup of spills of acetone (U002), benzene (U019), cumene (U055), methylenechloride (U080), methanol (U154) and/or xylene (U239).

Landfill cell 4E was built in the mid 1970's on an undisturbed natural clay base and did notinclude a liner. Landfill cell 5E was built in 1980-81 on an undisturbed natural clay layer with apermeability of about 1 x 10~7 cm/sec and had a three layer liner system.

Non-disposal Surface Impoundment Limestone Bed (WMA-ID - SWMU 8

This unit was used to partially neutralize an aqueous process wastewater stream havingthe characteristic of corrosivity (D002). Also, the column bottoms from an acetone recoverydistillation column (F003) flowed through this surface impoundment. This impoundment wasclosed as a landfill cell in 1988 with about 25 pounds of p-nitrophenol and 200 pounds ofparathion incorporated into about 4800 cubic yards of clay soil.

REGULATORY HISTORY

ADEM has jurisdiction over most of the environmental matters at this site by way ofoverseeing implementation of all existing state and federal environmental laws and regulations.Pursuant to these laws, ADEM has determined that the Solutia facility and adjacent off-site areasof contamination (drainage ditches exiting the property, Snow and Choccolocco Creeks, etc.) aresubject to regulation under several state and federal environmental laws. The post-closure permitaddresses contamination from PCB materials and also soil and ground water contaminationresulting from the manufacture of other chemicals such as para-nitrophenol, polyphenyl,Therminol 59, parathion and phosphorous pentasulfide. Solutia has implemented a ground waterrecovery and treatment system to address defined areas of contamination unrelated to PCBs.PCB-related contamination has affected on-site and adjacent off-site areas generally described aslocated downstream and within the watershed basin of the facility. Studies are still underway toevaluate the impacts of PCB contamination in downstream areas of Snow Creek, ChoccoloccoCreek and Lake Logan Martin.

SITE CHARACTERIZATION

Geology/Hydrology

Approximately 90 percent of Calhoun County lies within the Valley and Ridgephysiographic province. The geology of the area is characterized by folding and thrust faulting.The dominant structural features in this province are the numerous thrust faults. The upwardfolding of rocks and cutting to streams has formed a series of sharp ridges and valleys. Theremaining area of Calhoun County, which is located in the extreme southeastern part of thecounty, lies within the Piedmont physiographic province. The Piedmont province consists of well-dissected uplands developed on metamorphic rocks. The Talledaga-Cartersville fault separatesthese two physiographic provinces. Various tributaries in the eastern and southern portions of thebasin originate in the Piedmont province.

Topography of the area is flat to gently rolling, with northeastward-trending valleys thatare paralleled by ridges and low mountains. Maximum relief in the area is about 1,500 feet. Thehighest points in Calhoun County are about 2,100 feet above mean sea level (msl) along the crestof Coldwater Mountain.

The area is underlain by sedimentary and slightly metamorphosed sedimentary rocksranging in age from Cambrian to Ordovician. Fluvial deposits and residuum overlie these rocks insome areas. The ridges are composed of sandstone units and the valleys are composed of the lessresistant carbonate units.

Available literature indicates that there are several water-bearing units in the area. TheLower Cambrian Shady Dolomite and its overlying weathered zone lie directly beneath thefacility. The residuum consists of low permeability silts and clays which are products of residualweathering. The residuum extends in excess of 100 feet. Karst topography, characteristic of the

Shady Dolomite, has been produced by solution channeling and fracturing near the top of theformation. The Shady Dolomite deposits consist primarily of limestone containing occasionallenses of shale and clay.

Borings constructed on-site indicate an upper stratum of fine to coarse-grained sandy clay,ranging from about 5 to 20 feet in thickness and extending areally throughout most of the site.Below the sandy clay is a layer of slightly to moderately silty clay with localized lenses of very fineto fine-grained sand and tight, dense clay. The surficial deposits consist of low-permeablematerials that act as confining deposits to the underlying limestone units of the Shady Dolomite.Core samples collected during boring activities were analyzed for the determination of verticalhydraulic conductivities. The range was from 2.1 x 10 ~7 to 1.3 x 10~9 cm/sec. Horizontalhydraulic conductivity has been calculated to be between 1.3 x 10 ~5 to 3.8 x 10~5 cm/sec.Vertical flow rate has been calculated to range from 0.05 ft/yr to 0.87 ft/yr.

According to the "Second 1998 Semi-Annual and 1998 Annual Groundwater DetectionMonitoring and Corrective Action Effectiveness Report" the geometric mean hydraulicconductivity value of the surficial sediments at WMA-I is 8.22 x 10~2 ft/day and the hydraulicgradient is 0.0856 feet/foot. The horizontal ground water flow was calculated to be about 12.5ft/yr. The hydraulic conductivity value of the surficial sediments at WMA-II is 8.22 x 10~2 ft/dayand 30 ft/yr. The hydraulic gradient is 0.0266 feet/foot and the horizontal ground water flow wascalculated to be about 3.9 ft/yr.

Data from piezometers indicates that shallow ground water movement at the landfill isbasically in a northerly direction and at the surface impoundment is north-northwest. A steep anduniform gradient exists at the landfill, which reflects the high topographic relief in this area. Thecorrective action system at WMA-II is influencing ground water flow in the area. A cone ofdepression has developed around the recovery wells system which is capable of capturing groundwater flow from upgradient portions of this area. Historical data shows that prior to installationof the recovery well system, ground water flow was to the northwest, consistent with thetopography of the area. The topography in the vicinity of WMA-II is not as steep as thetopography in the vicinity of WMA-I; therefore, the influence of the recovery well systemadjacent to WMA-II is more pronounced.

Applicable Requirements

As stated previously, ADEM has jurisdiction over most of the environmental matters atthis site by way of overseeing implementation of all existing state and federal environmental lawsand regulations. The facility's RCRA ground water monitoring system is part of the post-closurepermit, issued in January 1997, pursuant with the Alabama Hazardous Wastes Management andMinimization Act, Code of Alabama. Section 22-30-1, et.seq.. as amended. The permit coverspost-closure care for cells 4E and 5E of the closed hazardous waste landfill WMA-I and thesurface impoundment closed as landfill WMA-II. The permit also included corrective action forground water contamination at the facility.

Monitoring Well History/ Design/Construction and Maintenance

WMA-I and WMA-II Monitoring Well Systems

A ground water monitoring system was installed in 1981 for the entire landfill area(WMA-I) and surface impoundment (WMA-II) to comply with the 40 CFR Part 265 Subpart FGround Water Monitoring regulations. A network of one upgradient (MW-1) and fivedowngradient (MW-2, MW-3, MW-7, MW-8 and MW-9) wells were installed around the wastemanagement areas. Monitor wells MW-4, MW-5 and MW-6 were installed around the closedportion of the landfill. During monitor well installation, a soil-boring program was conducted tocharacterize the subsurface geologic conditions with a total of 46 borings installed. Selectedborings were converted to monitor wells by reaming the borehole to a larger diameter andinserting 2 or 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC pipe with a 5-foot well screen attached to thebottom. A fine-grained gravel pack with a sand cap was then installed with the tremie method.Grout of Class A cement was placed by the tremie method to land surface to prevent surface-water infiltration. The wells were developed by surging and air-lift for a minimum of one hour oruntil clear formation water was removed from the well.

To better determine ground water flow direction, several of the borings were convertedinto piezometers. Selected borings were converted by reaming the borehole to a 4-inch diameterand inserting 1.25-inch diameter PVC pipe with a 5-foot well screen attached to the bottom. Thepiezometers were gravel packed and a cement grout placed by tremie method to land surface.

In 1985, nine additional monitor wells were installed around WMA-I and WMA-II. Themonitoring well network was expanded by the installation of new upgradient well MW-1B, andnew downgradient wells MW-11, MW-12 and MW-13. Well MW-3 was consistently dry and wasreplaced by wells MW-11, MW-12 and MW-13. Those three wells were also consistently dry andwere replaced in October 1985 by wells MW-11 A, MW-12A and MW-13 A. They were locatedimmediately next to the wells they replaced; however, they were drilled to a greater depth to gainmore water. Wells MW-4, MW-5 and MW-6 remained as observation wells OW-6, OW-5 andOW-15, respectively.

The WMA-II monitoring well network was also modified in 1985-86. An additionaldowngradient well MW-14 was installed in 1985. New downgradient wells MW-15 thru MW-19were installed around WMA-H Monitoring wells MW-17, MW-18 and MW-19 weredowngradient observation wells for the Old Limestone Bed Surface Impoundment (OLBSI) andtheir designations were changed to OW-18, OW-19 and OW-20, respectively. MW-20 wasinstalled immediately adjacent to WMA-II in June 1986. This well was destroyed in March 1988and replaced with MW-20A in May 1988. In 1998, wells OW-6, OW-8 and OW-16 werereplaced with monitoring wells OW-6 A, OW-8 A, and OW-16 A.

Well construction for the additional wells was similar to that of the original six, with theexception of reaming the borehole to a 6-inch diameter and installing 2-inch diameter PVC casingand screen. The annular space was filled with fine-grained sand from the bottom of the boreholeto about 5 feet above the screen setting. The remaining annular space was then grouted to landsurface by the tremie method with either Class A neat cement or bentonite pellets.

The present ground water monitoring system consists of three downgradient Point-of-Compliance monitoring wells and one background well, which monitor WMA-I. Under theHazardous Waste Facility Permit issued to Solutia in January 1997, four ground water correctiveaction systems were combined into the monitoring system for WMA-II and SWMU 1. TheWMA-II Corrective Action System (CAS) addresses potential impacts from the Old LimestoneBed Surface Impoundment (OLBSI), SWMU 8 and SWMU9. The SWMU 1 CAS combines theWestern and Northern CAS for the South Landfill along with the Plant Site CAS. Each of theCAS includes a series of recovery wells (IW series and DW-1) and monitoring wells (OW, MWand SBP series). The monitoring wells are designated as Effectiveness wells, Point-of-Compliance wells and Boundary wells.

Detection Monitoring Program

The Detection Monitoring Program applies to WMA-I, which includes closed SouthLandfill cells 4E and 5E. The WMA-I monitoring system consists of three point-of-compliancewells MW-11 A, MW-12A, and MW-13A and the background well MW-1B. Wells MW-11 A,MW-12 A, and MW-13A are located hydraulically downgradient from WMA-I and monitorground water within the bedrock. Each monitoring well is equipped with a dedicated Teflonbladder pump for purging and sample collection.

WMA-II Corrective Action System

The WMA-n CAS consists of seven recovery wells: IW-16, IW-17, IW-18, IW-19, IW-20, IW-21 and DW-1 and nine monitoring wells: MW-1B, MW-15, MW-16, MW-20A, OW-19,OW-21, OW-22, OW-24 and SBP-5. The IW recovery wells were installed in late 1988. DW-1was added to recover ground water from the OLBSI. The recovery wells are equipped with asubmersible pump, automatic level control start/stop switch and a totalizer flow meter to measuretotal discharge from all recovery wells.

Page 9: MEMORANDUM FROM S.E. MATTHEWS, USEPA TO LAURIE …the characteristic of corrosivity (D002). Also, the column bottoms from an acetone recovery distillation column (F003) flowed through

Groundwater from the recovery wells is pumped to a collection tank and then to an on-sitebiological wastewater treatment facility. All monitoring wells associated with WMA-II, exceptfor MW-20A, are located hydraulically downgradient from the recovery well system and are usedto evaluate the effectiveness of the CAS in capturing and containing ground water. Thesemonitoring wells are equipped with dedicated Teflon bladder pumps for purging and samplecollection.

SWMU 1 Corrective Action System

SWMU 1 CAS is comprised of the western and northern portions of the closed SouthLandfill and the Plant Site area. There are 11 recovery wells in the system: IW-2, IW-5, IW-6,IW-7, IW-8, IW-9, IW-10, IW-11, IW-12, IW-13 and IW-14. The eight monitoring/observationwells are MW-1B, OW-2, OW-4, OW-6A, OW-7, OW-8A, OW-15 and OW-16A. IW-2 wasinstalled in 1982 to intercept and recover shallow ground water from the western side of theclosed South Landfill. IW-5 and IW-6 were installed in 1982; IW-7 thru IW-14 were installed in1987-88 to intercept and recover shallow ground water along the northern side of the closedSouth Landfill. The pumping system was installed in early 1988 to intercept and recover shallowground water from the Plant Site area. Recovery wells IW-1, IW-3, IW-4 and IW-15 wereremoved from the CAS pursuant to the Permit.

Each recovery wells is equipped with a submersible pump, an automatic level controlstart/stop switch, and a count recorder to monitor pumping cycles. Groundwater from therecovery wells is pumped to a collection tank and then to an on-site biological wastewatertreatment facility. All monitoring wells associated with SWMU 1, except for MW-1B, are locatedhydraulically downgradient from the recovery well system and are used to evaluate theeffectiveness of the CAS in capturing and containing ground water. These monitoring wells areequipped with dedicated Teflon bladder pumps for purging and sample collection.

Corrective Action Systems (CAS)

In addition to the ground water monitoring system for the RCRA regulated units WMA-Iand WMA-II, ground water monitoring is also conducted in connection with four solid wastemanagement units (SWMUs) These are the Western Landfill, the Northern Landfill, the Plant Siteand the Old Limestone Bed Surface Impoundment (OLBSI). These systems consist of interceptorwells (IW) designed to recover ground water flowing hydraulically downgradient from eachSWMU. A network of observation wells (OW) have also been installed to measure ground waterquality and the effectiveness of the correction action system designed for each SWMU.

Western Landfill CAS

This system consists of four interceptor wells IW-1 thru IW-4 designed to recover groundwater from the upper water-bearing zone along the western border at the closed landfill area. Thewells are 25 to 26 feet deep. Observation wells OW-1 thru OW-4, OW-11 and OW-12 werewere installed to evaluate the effectiveness of the interceptor well system in capturing constituentsin the upper water bearing zone. These wells range from 24 to 27 feet deep.

Northern Landfill CAS

This system consists of nine interceptor wells IW-5 thru IW-13 designed to recoverground water that flows north across the landfill area in the upper water-bearing zone. Thesewells are 39 to 68 feet deep. Observation wells OW-5, OW-6, OW-13, OW-14, OW-16 andOW-17 were installed to evaluate the effectiveness of the interceptor well system in capturingconstituents in the upper water bearing zone. These wells range from 24 to 27 feet deep.

Plant Site CAS

This system consists of two interceptor wells IW-14 and IW-15 designed to recoverground water from the upper water-bearing zone. These wells are 45 to 46 feet deep.Observation wells OW-7, OW-8, OW-9, OW-10 and OW-15 were installed to evaluate theeffectiveness of the interceptor well system in capturing constituents in the upper water bearingzone. These wells range from 40 feet deep.

Old Limestone Bed Surface Impoundment CAS

This system consists of six interceptor wells (IW-16 thru IW-21) designed to recoverground water from the upper water-bearing zone that flows northeast across the OLBSI area.These wells are 30 to 35 feet deep. Observation wells OW-18 thru OW-24 were installed toevaluate the effectiveness of the interceptor well system in capturing constituents in the upperwater bearing zone. These wells range from 23 to 36 feet deep.

Bedrock Wells

Five bedrock wells have been installed at the facility to evaluate the lithology and waterquality of the lower water bearing zone. Well depths range between 149 ft BLS and 419 ft BLS.The wells were constructed with telescoping casing diameter from 10 inch steel casing to 4-inchPVC casing threaded to 0.010-inch slotted PVC screen. A 20/40 graded silica sand pack wastremied into the annular space and extended from bottom of the borehole to 3 feet above thescreen. A bentonite seal was placed on the sand pack and extended to about 6 feet BLS, followedby grout to land surface. Wells were developed with the air lift method.

Ground Water Quality Summary

Monitor wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-7, MW-8 and MW-9 were sampledperiodically since December 1981 for the water quality analyses required by RCRA. Somemetals were above the maximum levels, but the facility contended that the clayey sediments werethe source of those constituents. The high pH and conductivities were attributed to groutinterference. The variations in TOX were attributed to changes in the water quality laboratoriesperforming the analyses. Semi-annual reporting of ground water monitoring well data for WMA-Iand WMA-II has been sent to ADEM and USEPA Region 4 since 1987. Some wellsdowngradient of WMA-II indicated the presence of parathion and 4-nitrophenol. A correctiveaction system was implemented to address this concern.

Analytical data collected from July to December 1998 indicated there were no detectionsof constituents above the Permit-established Concentration Limits in any of the monitoring wellsfor WMA-I and the only potential constituent of potential concern was o,o,o-triethylphos-phorothioate. For the WMA-II monitoring system, cobalt, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and pentachlorophenol were detected above the concentration limit in one ormore of the wells. Mercury, o-dichlorobenzene, aroclor 1242 and aroclor 1254 were alsodetected in one or more of the WMA-II wells during the November 1997 through June 1998sampling period. For the SWMU 1 CAS, cobalt, aroclor 1221 and aroclor 1242 were detectedabove the concentration limit in one or more of the wells. Chlorobenzene and aroclor 1248 werealso detected in one or more of the SWMU 1 wells during the November 1997 through June 1998sampling period.

Ground Water Sampling and Analysis Procedures

The facility routinely inspects the monitoring wells for damage and signs of deteriorationIn high traffic areas, monitoring wells are protected by steel pipe bumper guards. At the time ofthe CME all wells were locked and most were numbered for identification. Most wells hadconcrete pads, except in those areas still undergoing remediation. Pads will be added after thatwork is completed.

Ground water samples are collected by Colder Associates and HGS Engineeringpersonnel. Samples are shipped to Gulf Coast Analytical Laboratories and Savannah Laboratoriesand Environmental Services for analysis with a chain-of-custody that documents what analyses arerequired.

Water levels are measured with a QED Sample Pro water level indicator to the nearest0.01 foot prior to purging. This number is subtracted from the total depth and plugged into theformula for calculating the static volume to determine the well volume to be purged. Wells arepurged for a minimum of three well volumes or to dryness and until the field parametermeasurements for pH, temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and Redoxstabilize. Field meters include Horiba, Hanna and Lomotte equipment and are calibrated in themorning prior to field work. For the CAS wells, the low flow purge technique is used in an effortto reduce turbidity. Some wells are low-flow purged up to three days to obtain a representativesample. Purge water is collected for ultimate disposal into the wastewater treatment plant on-site.

It was noted that the well purging/sampling procedures used in the field had been modifiedfrom the procedures given in the sampling and analysis plan in the Permit. Because of the highturbidity problem in some of the wells, the facility filters samples for PCBs and metals, in additionto collecting total PCB and metals. Ground water is filtered thru an in-line 0.45 micron filter.This water is then pumped thru a 0.1 micron tripod filter system. This modification has beensubmitted to ADEM for review.

Samples are collected using the dedicated Teflon bladder pumps. The wells are sampledfrom least to most contaminated with the most volatile samples collected first. Disposable glovesare worn for well purging/ sampling and changed between each well. Samples are collecteddirectly into the appropriate sample containers, pre-cleaned by the lab, with labels affixed to eachcontainer documenting the sample location, time, analysis required, etc. Sample containers arepre-preserved, as needed. Trip blanks, field blanks and matrix spike/duplicates are collected forQA/QC purposes.

The following EPA SW-846 analyses are performed on the samples:

Method 8260 for Volatile Organics Method 8080 for PCBs,Method 8270 for Semivolatile Organics, Method 6010 for Cobalt andMethod 8141 for Organophosphorus Pesticides, Method 7470 for Mercury.

Samples were tagged, bagged and iced for transport to the lab. Chain-of-Custody formswere completed in the field for the samples. The field techniques for performing water level andtotal depth measurements, well purging/sampling procedures, sampling sequence, samplepreservation and handling, equipment decontamination procedures, and QA/QC procedures wereevaluated for adequacy. No problems were noted and any questions asked by the SESD HWSinspector were answered in a knowledgeable manner.

Maintaining Ground Water Monitoring Data - Record keeping and Reporting

A review of the files indicated that reports and work plans are submitted in a timelyfashion. At the time of the CME evaluation, all documents requested by the USEPA inspectorwere made readily available for review.

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS

Facility and sampling personnel answered questions and conducted well purging andsample handling techniques in a competent manner. Documents requested as part of the overviewwere made readily available for review. At the time of the overview, sample collection andhandling techniques were basically in accordance with the most recent Sampling and AnalysisPlan. Modifications to the plan have been submitted to the State for review. State personnelconducted their O&M in a professional and knowledgeable manner and were very familiar withfacility operations and applicable regulatory requirements. Problems noted during an April 1997CME had been adequately corrected. It was recommended that all wells have some type ofidentification in the field.
