Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 1-1 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
1.0 INTRODUCTION This Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report (Report) prepared by Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech), on
behalf of Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC), presents the results of the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First
Quarter 2008 groundwater quality monitoring activities of the Beaumont Site 2 (Site) Groundwater
Monitoring Program (GMP). The Site is located southwest of the City of Beaumont, Riverside County,
California (Figure 1-1). Currently, the Site is inactive with the exception of ongoing investigative
activities performed under Consent Order (88/89 034) with the Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC).
The objectives of this Report are to:
• Briefly summarize the Site history;
• Document the water quality monitoring procedures and results;
• Analyze and evaluate the water quality monitoring data generated; and
• Re-evaluate the current Site GMP.
This Report is organized into the following sections: 1) Introduction, 2) Summary of Monitoring
Activities, 3) Groundwater Monitoring results, 4) Summary and Conclusions.
1.1 SITE BACKGROUND
The Site is a 2,668 acre parcel located southwest of Beaumont, California. The parcels that comprise the
Site were owned by individuals and the United States (U.S.) government prior to 1958. Between 1958 and
1960, portions of the Site were purchased by the Grand Central Rocket Company (GCR) and utilized as a
remote test facility for early space and defense program efforts. In 1960, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation
(LAC) purchased one-half interest in GCR. GCR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of LAC in 1961.
The remaining parcels of land that comprise the Site were purchased from the U.S. government between
1961 and 1964. In 1963, Lockheed Propulsion Company (LPC) became an operating division of LAC and
was responsible for the operation of the Site until its closure in 1974. The Site was utilized by GCR and
LPC from 1958 to 1974 for small rocket motor assembly, testing operations, propellant incineration, and
minor disposal activities. Ogden Labs is known to have leased portions of the Site in the 1970s (Radian,
1986a).
In 1989, the DTSC issued a consent order requiring LMC to cleanup contamination at the Site related to
past testing activities (CDHS, 1989). Based on investigative and cleanup activities performed at the Site,
the DTSC issued a no further remedial action letter to LMC in 1993.

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 1-3 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
Based on regulatory interest in perchlorate and 1,4-dioxane, a groundwater sample was collected from an
inactive groundwater production well (identified as W2-3) at the Site in January 2003. The sample was
analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), perchlorate, and 1,4-dioxane to determine the potential
presence and concentration of those chemicals in groundwater. The analytical results indicated that VOCs
and 1,4-dioxane were not present at or above their respective method detection limits (MDLs). However,
perchlorate was reported at a concentration of 4,080 micrograms per liter (µg/L), which exceeded the
California Department of Health Services drinking water notification level (DWNL) of 6 µg/L. Based on
the detection of perchlorate in the groundwater sample collected, the DTSC reopened the Site for further
assessment.
Four (4) primary historical operational areas have been identified at the Site (Figure 1-2). Each
operational area was responsible for various activities associated with rocket motor assembly, testing, and
propellant incineration. A brief description of each operational area follows:
Historical Operational Area J (Area J) –Final Assembly
Rocket motor casings with solid propellant were transported to Building 250 where final assembly of the
rocket hardware was conducted. The building was used from 1970 to 1974 for final assembly and
shipment of short range attack missile rocket motors. Rocket motor assembly operations included
installation of the nozzle and headcap, pressure check of the motor, installation of electrical systems, and
preparations for shipment. During plant closure in 1974, all usable parts of this facility were dismantled,
taken off the Site, and sold (Radian, 1986a).
Historical Operational Area K (Area K) – Test Bays and Miscellaneous Facilities
The primary features included a large earthen structure known as the “Prism,” conditioning chambers, a
centrifuge, and four test bays and two associated bunkers.
The Prism was reportedly built between 1984 and 1990 and was used to test radar by General Dynamics
(Tetra Tech, 2007a). Details concerning construction of the Prism are not available, but it appears to have
been constructed with soils from near the test bays.
The conditioning chambers were used to examine the effects of extreme temperatures on rocket motors
and to meet specification requirements (Radian, 1986a). A centrifuge was located in the northwestern
portion of Area K, where rocket motors were tested in order to determine if the solid propellant would
separate from its casing under increased gravitational forces.

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 1-5 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
Previously, only three test bays were known; however, a former employee reported during a recent
interview that a fourth test bay [located north of the other three bays] was also previously used in Area K.
The initial testing activities had a history of explosions that destroyed complete test areas, especially
during the period when GCR operated at the Site (Radian, 1986a). While vestiges from three test bays are
currently visible at the Site, the fourth was reportedly destroyed by such an explosion during testing. Also
reportedly, after motor failure, the area was checked to recover unburned propellant.
Historical Operational Area L (Area L) – Propellant Burn Area
Solid propellant was reportedly transported to the burn area and set directly on the ground surface for
burning (Radian, 1986a). No pits or trenches were dug as part of the burning process. The solid propellant
was saturated with diesel fuel to initiate combustion. Reportedly, the solid propellant would burn rapidly.
There is no evidence or physical features that identify the precise location of burning activities. Two
production wells were located in this area (W2-1 and W2-3). W2-1 was reported to have been part of the
agricultural homestead. The origin of W2-3 is unknown. The use of the wells is unknown. A waste
discharge permit from 1962 was recently discovered indicating that up to 5,000 gallons per year of waste
water from rocket testing operations could be discharged into small surface depressions located in a small
side canyon just south of Area L.
Historical Operational Area M (Area M) – Garbage Disposal Site
A garbage disposal area was located adjacent to a small creek at the Site (Radian, 1986a). Scrap metal,
paper, wood, and concrete materials were disposed of at the disposal site by LPC. Hazardous materials,
including explosives and propellants, were never disposed of at the disposal site by LPC according to
employee interviews. Ogden Labs, a company that tested valves and explosive items, also used this
disposal site. Reportedly, Ogden Labs disposed hazardous waste at the disposal site. In 1972, a Lockheed
Safety Technician was exposed to toxic vapors of unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (u-DMH) from a
pressurized gas container located within the disposal site. Based on potential exposure risks to occupants,
LPC’s safety group required Ogden Labs to take measures to remove any potentially hazardous materials
at the disposal site. Shortly thereafter, a disposal company was contracted by Ogden Labs to clean up the
disposal site (Radian, 1986a)

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 2-1 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
2.0 SUMMARY OF MONITORING ACTIVITIES Section 2 summarizes the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events
conducted at the Site. The results from these monitoring events are discussed in Section 3.0.
2.1 GROUNDWATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
The Fourth Quarter 2007 groundwater level measurements were collected from 21 monitoring wells and
one (1) piezometer on November 8, 2007. Prior to the start of the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event,
five (5) new wells were installed at the site. Therefore, for the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event
groundwater level measurements were collected from 26 monitoring wells and one (1) piezometer on
February 18, 2008. Figure 2-1 presents a site map showing the well locations. Copies of the field data
sheets from the water quality monitoring events are presented in Appendix D. A summary of well
construction details is presented in Appendix E.
2.2 GROUNDWATER SAMPLING
The groundwater monitoring schedule is reviewed annually during the Second Quarter groundwater
monitoring event. Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 follow the schedule proposed in the
Second and Third Quarter 2006 monitoring report (Tetra Tech, 2007a) which was presented to the DTSC
in February 2007 and approved with no comments. The Fourth Quarter 2007 groundwater samples were
collected from 24 monitoring wells between November 15, 2007 and January 9, 2008. The First Quarter
2008 groundwater samples were collected from 18 monitoring wells between March 27 and 30, 2008.
Table 2-1 and 2-2 lists the wells monitored for the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008
monitoring events, analytical methods, sampling dates, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
samples collected. Groundwater sampling, analytical, and QA/QC procedures for the monitoring event
were described in the Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation Work Plan (Tetra Tech, 2004a) and the
Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plan (Tetra Tech, 2007b). Figures 2-2 and 2-3 illustrate the well
locations sampled.
The following water quality field parameters were observed and recorded on field data sheets (Appendix
D) during well purging activities: water level, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity,
dissolved oxygen (DO) and oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Collection of water quality parameters
was initiated when at least one (1) discharge hose / pump volume had been removed and purging was
considered complete when the above parameters had stabilized, or the well was purged dry (evacuated).
Stabilization of water quality parameters was used as an indication that representative formation water
had entered the well and was being purged. The criteria for stabilization of these parameters are as
follows: water level ± 0.1 foot, pH ± 0.1, and EC ± 3%, turbidity < 10 nephelometric turbidity units

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 2-2 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
(NTUs) (if > 10 NTUs ± 10%), DO ± 0.3 mg/L and ORP ± 10 mV. Sampling instruments and equipment
were maintained, calibrated, and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications,
guidelines, and recommendations. Groundwater samples were collected from the monitoring wells by
low-flow purging and sampling through bladder-type pumps. Dedicated bladder type pumps are installed
in all of the monitoring wells on the Site with the exception of TT-MW2-3 where a portable bladder pump
is used.
For the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events, every effort was made to collect
groundwater samples in order of increasing perchlorate concentration. Samples were placed in
appropriate EPA method specified containers. A sample identification label was affixed to each sample
container, and sample custody was maintained by a chain-of-custody record. Groundwater samples
collected for the monitoring events were chilled and transported to Emax Laboratories, Inc., a state-
accredited analytical laboratory, via courier, thus maintaining proper temperatures and sample integrity.
Trip blanks (LTBs) were collected for the monitoring events to assess cross-contamination potential of
water samples while in transit. Equipment blanks (LEBs) were collected when sampling with non-
dedicated equipment to assess cross-contamination potential of water samples via sampling equipment.

TETRA TECH, INC. MARCH 2009
Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 2-8 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
2.3 SURFACE WATER SAMPLING
Surface water samples were collected from six (6) locations during a storm event on January 28, 2008.
Samples were tested for VOCs, perchlorate and total and dissolved Title 22 metals. No other surface
water samples were collected during this reporting period. Figure 2-4 presents the storm water locations
sampled.
2.4 ANALYTICAL DATA QA/QC
The groundwater samples collected were analyzed using approved EPA methods. Since the analytical
data were obtained by following EPA-approved method criteria, the data were validated using the EPA-
approved evaluation methods described in the National Functional Guidelines (EPA, 1999 and EPA,
2004).
Quality control parameters used in validating data results include: holding times, field blanks, laboratory
control samples, method blanks, duplicate environmental samples, spiked samples, and surrogate and
spike recovery data.
2.5 HABITAT CONSERVATION
All monitoring activities were performed in accordance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) [USFWS, 2005] and subsequent clarifications (LMC, 2006a and 2006b)
of the HCP. Groundwater sampling activities were conducted with light duty vehicles and as specified in
the Low Affect HCP do not require biological monitoring.

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 3-1 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
3.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING RESULTS The results of the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events are
presented in the following subsections. These subsections include tabulated summaries of the
groundwater elevation and water quality data collected groundwater elevation maps, and analyte results
figures.
3.1 GROUNDWATER ELEVATION
Based on the groundwater levels measured during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008
monitoring events, depth to groundwater at the Site ranges from about 60 feet bgs in the northern portion
(elevation of 2,078 feet msl, TT-MW2-16) to about 18 feet bgs in the southern portion (elevation of 1,818
feet msl, TT-MW2-8). A tabulated summary of groundwater depths and elevations is presented in Table
3-1. Changes in groundwater elevations from the previous monitoring event for wells monitored for the
Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events are shown on Figures 3-1 and 3-2,
respectively, and hydrographs for individual wells are presented in Appendix C.
In comparison to the Third Quarter 2007 quarterly monitoring event, groundwater levels measured during
the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event increased in QAL/wSTF screened monitoring wells an average
of 0.08 feet and decreased in STF screened monitoring wells an average of 0.10 feet.
In comparison to the Fourth Quarter 2007 quarterly monitoring event, groundwater levels measured
during the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event increased in QAL/wSTF screened monitoring wells an
average of 0.04 feet and increased in STF screened monitoring wells an average of 0.01 feet.
3.2 GROUNDWATER FLOW
Groundwater contour maps for first groundwater and the STF HSU from Fourth Quarter 2007
groundwater levels are presented in Figures 3-3 and 3-4 and from First Quarter 2008 groundwater levels
are presented in Figures 3-5 and 3-6, respectively. Hydrographs for individual wells are presented in
Appendix C.
3.3 GROUNDWATER GRADIENTS
The horizontal groundwater gradients calculated between TT-MW2-16 and TT-MW2-6S from the Fourth
Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events for the QAL/wSTF HSU were 0.029
ft/ft. The horizontal groundwater gradients calculated between TT-MW2-2 and TT-MW2-6D for the
Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events for the STF HSU was 0.030
ft/ft

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 3-10 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
3.4 ANALYTICAL DATA SUMMARY
Groundwater samples collected during the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event were tested for VOCs,
perchlorate, and select wells were sampled for SVOCs, total and dissolved CAM 17 metals. VOCs and
perchlorate are contaminants of potential concern at the Site. Groundwater samples collected during the
First Quarter 2008 monitoring event were tested for VOCs and perchlorate.
Summaries of validated laboratory analytical results for analytes detected above their respective MDLs
during the monitoring events are presented in Tables 3-3 and 3-4. A complete list of the analytes tested
along with validated sample results by analytical method are provided in Appendix G. VOC and
perchlorate sample results above the published MCL (federal or state, whichever is lower) or DWNL are
bolded in Tables 3-3 and 3-4. Laboratory analytical data packages, which include all environmental, field
QC, and laboratory QC results, are provided in Appendix H. A consolidated laboratory data summary
table is presented in Appendix B.
3.4.1 Data Quality Review
The quality control samples were reviewed as described in the Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plan
(Tetra Tech, 2007). The data for the groundwater sampling activities were contained in nine analytical
data packages (07K249, 07K269, 07K298, 08A073, 08A259, 08B274, 08B286, 08B306, and 08B326).
The results for groundwater samples collected for analytical testing were reviewed using the latest
versions of the National Functional Guidelines for Organic and Inorganic Data Review documents from
the EPA (EPA, 1999 and 2004).
Holding times, field blanks, laboratory control samples, method blanks, duplicate environmental samples,
spiked samples, and surrogate and spike recovery data were reviewed. Within each environmental sample
the sample specific quality control spike recoveries were examined. These data examinations include
comparing statistically calculated control limits to percent recoveries of all spiked analytes and duplicate
spiked analytes. The results are compared to Relative Percent Difference control limits. Surrogate
recoveries were examined for all organic compound analyses and compared to their control limits.
Environmental samples were analyzed by the following methods: Method E314.0 for perchlorate, Method
SW6010B for CAM 17 metals, Methods SW7470A and SW7471A for mercury, Method SW8260B for
VOCs, and Method SW8270C for SVOCs. Unless discussed below, all data results met required criteria,
are of known precision and accuracy, did not require any qualification, and may be used as reported.
Methylene chloride was detected in the field and/or laboratory blanks collected during the Third Quarter
2007 monitoring event. Qualified data results are denoted with a “B” flag. The validity of “B” qualified
data is suspect because the results are considered to have not originated from the native sample. These
TETRA TECH, INC. MARCH 2009
Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 3-11 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
results are considered to be due to cross-contamination from field and/or laboratory operations. The levels
of contaminants detected in the field or method blanks will qualify similar levels of the same detected
analytes in environmental samples. These blank detections qualified three methylene chloride
environmental samples. Data so qualified are denoted with a “B” flag, are generally considered not usable
and will not be included in subsequent analysis.
For Method SW8260B, holding time violations qualified 25 percent of the data as estimated. The holding
time violations were minor (less then a few hours) and are not expected to degrade target analyte
concentrations in the samples. Therefore, data comparability with historic data should not be affected by
these holding time violations. The laboratory was contacted, and they are undertaking corrective action to
avoid a recurrence of this error. The data was “J” qualified and are usable for their intended purpose.

3.5 CHEMICALS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN
COPCs are evaluated annually as part of the summer monitoring event. Because a significant number of
new wells have been installed and are being monitored quarterly for their first year after installation,
COPCs will be evaluated at this time as well. The results were screened against the MCLs or DWNLs (if
an MCL is not established). The analytes were organized and evaluated in two (2) groups, organic and
inorganic analytes, and divided into primary and secondary COPC. Laboratory analytical results from the
Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events are presented in the following two (2)
subsections. Table 3-5 presents a summary of validated organic and inorganic analytes detected during
the monitoring events. Data which are B qualified because of association with either laboratory or field
contamination are not included in the COPC evaluation. Trend analysis was not performed, this task will
be performed annually as part of the summer monitoring event.
3.5.1 Organic Analytes
Three organic analytes (TCE, 1,2-DCA and methylene chloride) were detected above a published MCL or
DWNL. Table 3-3 presents a summary of validated organic analyte concentrations reported in
groundwater samples collected during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater
monitoring events
1,2-DCA was reported in groundwater samples collected from two monitoring wells in Liquid Waste
Discharge Area sampled during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events at
concentrations ranging from 0.55 to 2.1 µg/L. The MCL for 1,2-DCA is 0.5 µg/L.
Methylene chloride was reported in groundwater samples collected from two monitoring wells in two
locations sampled during the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event at concentrations ranging from 83 to
170 µg/L. During the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event, methylene chloride was reported in
groundwater samples collected from three monitoring wells in two locations sampled at concentrations
ranging from 0.76 to 200 µg/L. The MCL for methylene chloride is 5 µg/L.
TCE was reported in groundwater samples collected from five monitoring wells in three locations
sampled during the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event at concentrations ranging from 0.55 to 58 µg/L.
During the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event, TCE was reported in groundwater samples collected
from four monitoring wells in three locations sampled at concentrations ranging from 0.46 to 86 µg/L.
The TCE MCL is 5 µg/L. TCE has not been reported in any of the other groundwater samples collected.
Figures 3-7 and 3-8 present groundwater sampling analytical results for TCE concentrations reported for
the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events, respectively. Time-series graphs of
TCE and perchlorate are provided in Appendix I.

Other organic analytes detected at low levels and below their respective MCLs or DWNLs during the
Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events were carbon disulfide,
chloromethane, chloroform, 1,1-DCA, 1,1-DCE, toluene, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and vinyl chloride. None
of these compounds exceeded their MCL or DWNL, and generally they were not detected consistently
from monitoring event to event.

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 3-17 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
3.5.2 Organic COPCs
Based on the analysis above and the concentrations detected during previous groundwater monitoring
events, no organic primary COPCs have been identified at the Site. Based on the limited and relatively
low TCE, methylene chloride, and RDX concentrations reported in groundwater samples collected from
the Site, they are regarded as secondary COPCs. Their distribution and concentration in groundwater will
continue to be monitored and the results evaluated.
3.5.3 Inorganic Analytes
Three inorganic analytes (perchlorate, arsenic, and lead) were detected in groundwater above a published
MCL. Table 3-4 presents a summary of validated inorganic analyte concentrations reported in
groundwater samples collected during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater
monitoring events.
Perchlorate was reported in groundwater samples collected from 12 of 24 locations sampled during the
Fourth Quarter 2007 groundwater monitoring event and 12 of 18 locations sampled during the First
Quarter 2008 monitoring event, at concentrations up to 109,000 and 136,000 µg/L, respectively. The
MCL for perchlorate is 6 µg/L.
Figure 3-7 presents groundwater sampling analytical results for perchlorate concentrations reported for
the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event. Figure 3-8 presents groundwater sampling analytical results
for perchlorate concentrations reported for the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event. Time-series graphs of
perchlorate are provided in Appendix I.
Arsenic was detected in five groundwater monitoring wells during the Fourth Quarter 2007 groundwater
monitoring event. The concentrations ranged from 0.00547 to 0.0223 mg/L. Two of the wells had
concentration that exceeded the 0.01 mg/L MCL for arsenic.
Lead was detected in five groundwater monitoring wells during the Fourth Quarter 2007 groundwater
monitoring event. The concentration ranged from 0.00494 to 0.0224 mg/L with one well, TT-MW2-23,
exceeding the MCL of 0.015 mg/L.

3.5.4 Inorganic COPCs
Based on the analysis above and the concentrations detected during previous groundwater monitoring
events, perchlorate is the only inorganic primary COPC identified at the Site. No secondary COPCs were
identified. Metals will continue to be evaluated on an annual basis and as additional monitoring points are
added to the network.
3.6 SURFACE WATER SAMPLING RESULTS
Surface water samples were collected from six locations during a storm event on January 28, 2008. One
organic analyte (acetone) was detected at a concentration of 7.2 µg/L. Acetone does not have a published
MCL or DWNL. Seven inorganic analytes (perchlorate, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, lead, and
vanadium) were detected above a published MCL. Table 3-6 presents a summary of validated organic and
inorganic analyte concentrations reported in surface water samples collected during the First Quarter 2008
groundwater monitoring event.
Perchlorate was detected in one sample (SW-02) located in Area K downgradient of the Prism at a
concentration of 38.3 µg/L. The MCL for perchlorate is 6 µg/L.
Lead was detected in all six of the surface water samples; five of the six had a concentration that
exceeded the MCL of 0.015 mg/L. The concentration ranged from 0.0065 to 0.0725 mg/L. Vanadium was
detected in all six of the surface water samples; two of the six had a concentration that exceeded the
DWNL of 0.05 mg/L. The concentration ranged from 0.0113 to 0.21 mg/L. Arsenic, barium, beryllium,
and cadmium, were detected above the MCLs in one sample (SW-07).
3.7 HABITAT CONSERVATION
Consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) approved HCP (USFWS, 2005) and
subsequent clarifications (LMC, 2006a and 2006b) of the HCP describing environmental activities
proposed at the Site, all field activities were performed under the supervision of a Section 10A permitted
or sub-permitted biologist who monitored each work location. As a result, no impact to SKR occurred
during the performance of the field activities related to the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008
monitoring events.

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 4-1 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
4.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS These subsections summarize the results of the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 groundwater
monitoring events. During the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event 21 monitoring well locations and
one piezometer were measured for groundwater levels and 24 monitoring wells were sampled for
groundwater quality. During the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event 26 monitoring well locations and
one piezometer were measured for groundwater levels and 18 monitoring wells were sampled for
groundwater quality. Additionally surface water samples were collected from six locations during a storm
event.
4.1 GROUNDWATER ELEVATION AND FLOW
During the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events, depth to water at the Site
ranged from approximately 60 feet bgs (elevation of 2,078 feet msl) upgradient in the northern most well
to 18 feet bgs (elevation of 1,818 feet msl) downgradient in the southern most well.
Based on the measured groundwater elevations, the current CSM, and the southward sloping topography
at the Site, groundwater flow in the QAL/wSTF and STF HSUs appears to be southerly and generally
follow the topography of Laborde Canyon. Groundwater flow will be refined as additional data are
acquired.
Generally, groundwater elevation at the Site is relatively stable demonstrating a limited but delayed
seasonal rise and fall. There is insufficient data to discuss any long term trends in groundwater elevation
at this time.
4.1.1 Groundwater Gradients
Horizontal groundwater gradients across the Site are relatively constant. The horizontal groundwater
gradients calculated between TT-MW2-16 and TT-MW2-6S from the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First
Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events for the QAL/wSTF HSU were 0.029 ft/ft. The horizontal
groundwater gradients calculated between TT-MW2-2 and TT-MW2-6D for the Fourth Quarter 2007 and
First Quarter 2008 groundwater monitoring events for the STF HSU was 0.030 ft/ft.
Vertical groundwater gradients are calculated from individual clusters of wells. Well clusters are used to
measure the differences in static water level at different depths within the aquifer. The vertical gradient is
a comparison of static water level between wells at different depths within the aquifer and is an indication
of the vertical flow of groundwater (downward – negative gradient, upward – positive gradient). Vertical
groundwater gradients at the Site are generally downward. The vertical gradients range from negative
TETRA TECH, INC. MARCH 2009
Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 4-2 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
0.229 to positive 0.022. A summary of calculated horizontal and vertical groundwater gradients is
presented in Table 3-2 and in Appendix F.
4.2 WATER QUALITY MONITORING
Groundwater samples collected during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events
were tested for VOCs and perchlorate. Select wells were tested for total and dissolved metals and SVOCs.
Based on the historical operations at the Site and groundwater monitoring results, perchlorate was
identified as a primary COPC and TCE; methylene chloride and RDX were identified as secondary
COPCs.
Perchlorate was reported in groundwater samples collected from 12 of 24 and 12 of 18 locations sampled
during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events, respectively. During the Fourth
Quarter 2007 monitoring event, perchlorate was reported in groundwater samples collected ranging from
2.72 to 109,000 µg/L, and the perchlorate MCL of 6 µg/L was exceeded in 14 of the 24 groundwater
samples collected. During the First Quarter 2008 monitoring event, perchlorate was reported in
groundwater samples collected ranging from 1.94 to 136,000 µg/L and the perchlorate MCL was
exceeded in 10 of the 18 groundwater samples collected. The highest concentrations of perchlorate were
detected in groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells TT-MW2-24, located in the Liquid
Waste Discharge Area and TT-MW2-14, located in Area K.
Perchlorate has been detected in the groundwater in Area J below the MCL (6.0 µg/L). In area K,
perchlorate in the groundwater has been detected as high as 79,300 µg/L (TT-MW2-17D, Second Quarter
2008). Area L, downgradient of both Areas J and K has had concentrations as high as 19,700 µg/L
detected in the groundwater (TT-MW2-18, Fourth Quarter 2006). There are currently no indications that a
source of perchlorate is present in Area L. The perchlorate detected in the groundwater in this Area
appears to have originated in Area K. Concentrations as high as 469 µg/L (TT-MW2-11, Fourth Quarter
2007) have been detected in the groundwater in Area M. The highest concentrations of perchlorate,
136,000 µg/L (TT-MW2-24, First Quarter 2008), have been detected in the Liquid Waste Discharge Area
which is downgradient of the operational areas (areas J, K, L, and M). Concentrations as high as 1070
µg/L (TT-MW2-5, Fourth Quarter 2006) have been detected in the groundwater in the lower section of
Laborde Canyon, downgradient of both the Operational Areas and the Liquid Waste Discharge Area. The
available data suggests the waste discharge disposal area may be the source of the perchlorate found in
the groundwater in this downgradient area.
TCE was reported in groundwater samples from 5 of 24 and 4 of 18 locations sampled during the Fourth
Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring events, respectively. TCE was reported in groundwater
TETRA TECH, INC. MARCH 2009
Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 4-3 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
samples collected from monitoring wells TT-MW2-3, TT-MW2-11, TT-MW2-17D, TT-MW2-22, and
TT-MW2-24 sampled during the Fourth Quarter 2007 monitoring event at concentrations of 3.7, 7.3,
0.55, 47, and 58 µg/L, respectively. During the First Quarter monitoring event groundwater samples
collected from monitoring wells TT-MW2-11 TT-MW2-17D, TT-MW2-22, and TT-MW2-24 had
concentrations of 7.6, 0.46, 50, and 86 µg/L, respectively. The TCE MCL of 5 µg/L was exceeded in the
samples from TT-MW2-11, TT-MW2-22, and TT-MW2-24 during Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter
2008. Based on the data available at this time, the extent of the TCE plumes in groundwater appear to be
isolated to three small areas and it does not extend off Site.
Methylene chloride was initially reported in groundwater samples collected from TT-MW2-14 during the
Fourth Quarter 2006 at a concentration of 380 µg/L. Since the initial detection the concentration of
methylene chloride in TT-MW2-14 has dropped each quarter to the present concentration of 4.6 µg/L
(First Quarter 2008). Methylene chloride has recently been detected in a newly installed well located in
the Former Liquid Waste Discharge Area (TT-MW2-22) during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First
Quarter 2008 monitoring events at concentrations of 170 and 200 µg/L, respectively. The methylene
chloride MCL is 5 µg/L. The source of the methylene chloride is not known at this time; however,
repeated detections seems to indicate its presence is not spurious or related to undetected laboratory cross-
contamination.
RDX samples were not collected during the Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 monitoring
events. RDX samples are collected annually during the Second Quarter sampling event.
4.3 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PROGRAM AND THE GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK
Fourteen (14) quarters of water quality monitoring have been conducted at the Site since the September
2004 well installation activities. Groundwater samples have been routinely analyzed for VOCs and
perchlorate. Selected testing for CAM 17 metals, general minerals, 1,4-dioxane, RDX, NDMA, 1,2,3-
TCP and hexavalent chromium has also been performed. A groundwater monitoring sampling and
analysis plan (SAP) was prepared to optimize and better define the GMP at the Site (Tetra Tech, 2007b).
In concurrence with the DTSC, groundwater monitoring will be performed in accordance with the SAP.
Perchlorate was the only analyte identified to be a primary COPC and all monitored wells will be tested
for perchlorate semiannually. Two VOCs, TCE and methylene chloride were identified as secondary
COPCs, and all monitored wells will be tested for VOCs annually. Because of the continued low level
detection of RDX in well TT-MW2-1and the recent detection in well TT-MW2-13, sampling for RDX
will continue to be conducted annually in and around these wells. Because of the detection of arsenic and

Semiannual Groundwater Monitoring Report 4-4 Fourth Quarter 2007 and First Quarter 2008 Beaumont Site 2
vanadium above the MCL, until background levels for metals can be determined, metals will be tested for
in all monitored wells annually.
The analytical scheme will be evaluated annually and changes may be proposed to accommodate
expanded Site knowledge or changing Site conditions. The classifications of the wells in the network and
the corresponding sampling frequency will also be evaluated annually and modified to accommodate
expanded Site knowledge or changing Site conditions.
