1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Distribution List The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Division was asked by the City of New Haven,

Missouri for assistance in conducting long-term monitoring (LTM) at Operable Unit 3 (OU3) of the Riverfront Superfund Site. Activities to be conducted for the LTM are specified in the Record of Decision (ROD) for OU3 (USEPA, 2003) and a consent decree between the USEPA Region 7 and the City of New Haven. LTM at OU3 is a small effort involving sampling of four monitoring wells, a seep, and four nearby domestic wells for VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and selected inorganic compounds and heavy metals identified in the ROD. The USGS will conduct this sampling effort as part of a larger USGS-USEPA cooperative ground-water monitoring program for the entire Riverfront site. Copies of this Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) were submitted to the following:

Jeff Field EPA Region 7, Project Manager Steve Roth City Administrator, City of New Haven, Missouri Mike Slifer Chief, Missouri Water Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey 1.2 Project Organization and Personnel

Under the consent decree the City of New Haven is required to prepare and submit a Remedial Action

work plan to the USEPA for approval. The Remedial Action work plan describes how the City intends to implement the remedy set forth in the OU3 ROD. The remedy for OU3 includes two major efforts (1) environmental monitoring of the site, and (2) implementation of Institutional Controls for the site. The environmental monitoring of the site will be addressed by a project team consisting of the City of New Haven, the USGS, and USEPA. The City and USGS will jointly prepare appropriate plans, USGS will conduct monitoring, and the USEPA will review and approve such plans and data collected and prepare and conduct the periodic (5-year) review of the site using data provided. There are five primary deliverables required to fulfill the remedy at OU3:

a. Work Plan b. Quality Assurance Project Plan (combined QAPP-SAP) c. Sampling and Analysis Plan (combined QAPP-SAP) d. Operation and Maintenance Plan e. Reporting of periodic environmental monitoring data to USEPA (“Environmental Monitoring

Report”) The City of New Haven will be the overall coordinator of the remedy for OU3. The City has

requested that the USGS conduct the environmental monitoring of the site as part of their larger USGS-USEPA ground-water monitoring program. The USGS will prepare items a, b, c, and e above, and assist the City in preparation of items d. Documents prepared by USGS will be reviewed by the City who will submit them to the USEPA for review and approval. The following is a general description of general responsibilities of the project team and personnel.

City of New Haven The city is responsible for securing a qualified project manager, providing access to OU3, obtaining

access to monitoring wells on private property, submitting deliverables to the USEPA for review, ensuring that schedules are met, and implementing restrictive covenants (CD) at the site. The Mayor for the City of New Haven is the overall representative for the City and ultimately responsible for ensuring


2

that the City provides and meets the requirements of the OU3 Consent Decree between the USEPA and City of New Haven (Case No. O6CV01429 ERW). Steve Roth is the current (2007-2008) New Haven City Administrator and is the designated City Project Manager. Mr. Roth will fulfill the role of project manager as specified in the Consent Decree and is responsible for securing the services of a competent entity to perform all field activities for LTM at OU3, including preparation of all plans and reporting, or ensuring that City staff has the appropriate training to conduct such themselves. All project documents and deliverables will be submitted to the USEPA by Steve on behalf of the City of New Haven. Steve is also the final authority responsible for ensuring that all schedules are met and USEPA review comments are addressed. Monitoring wells at OU3 are on private property adjacent to the site and Mr. Roth is responsible for obtaining access to these wells (BW-03, BW-31, BW31A, BW-32) and nearby domestic wells. In addition to the LTM activities, Steve is also responsible for ensuring that environmental convents are implemented.

The City utilities manager, Julius Gatzmeyer, is responsible for daily operations at OU3 (now a city

compost site) and implementation of the O&M plan including routine inspections and monitoring site activities. Mr. Gatzmeyer will coordinate with the USGS for access to the site during field activities and on the preparation of the O&M plan.

USEPA The USEPA is responsible for ensuring that the selected remedy continues to meet the protectiveness

goals set forth in the ROD. This is done through periodic review (five-year review) of the site. Jeff Field is the EPA Region 7 project manager for the Riverfront Site and all project correspondence, documents, and data submittals will be submitted through the City of New Haven directly to him. Mr. Field will ensure that project plans (QAPP, SAP, O&M, and final Environmental Monitoring Data Report) are reviewed to meet USEPA standards and will provide comments on such plans to the City.

USGS The USGS has been conducting RI activities for various OUs at the Riverfront Site since 1999.

Because of their experience with the site, the City of New Haven requested that the USGS Missouri Water Science Center assist the City in conducting the LTM of OU3. As such, the USGS will prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), and Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M). The QAPP and SAP have been combined in this document.

Mike Slifer is the Director of the Missouri Water Science Center (MWSC) and is responsible for all

MWSC projects in Missouri. Mike has final approval authority on MWSC project proposals, work plans, SAP and QAPP, and all reports transmitting project data. Mr. Slifer is a senior-level manager with a background in civil engineering. He is responsible for ensuring that the USGS meets its obligations for the OU3 LTM and providing adequate resources to meet project schedules.

John Schumacher is the project manager for all USGS activities conducted as part of the Riverfront

Site and has been working at the site since 1999. John is a senior-level hydrologist, and chief of the USGS Missouri Water Science Center, Hydrologic Investigations Section with a background in geology, geochemistry, and ground-water hydrology. John is responsible for preparation of deliverables, coordination of all field activities, implementation of the QAPP and SAP, and providing updates to the EPA through the City of New Haven. John will also function as the project QA (quality assurance) officer, and will be responsible for reviewing and interpreting all environmental data collected, and preparing the final environmental monitoring report to the City of New Haven for submittal to the


3

USEPA. John may be assisted by other hydrologists, such as Doug Mugel, whom are under his direct supervision. Doug Mugel is a senior hydrologist with the MWSC and has worked as a USGS team member on many parts of the Riverfront Site RI. Doug will serve as a reviewer for items prepared by the USGS Project Manager as summaried in section 3.1.

Field sampling activities will be conducted by a two member team consisting of Paul Brenden (senior

hydrologic technician), and Brianna Force (student hydrologic technician) under the oversight of the USGS Project Manager. Paul will be responsible for following the project SAP and QAPP and daily field schedules. The following is a summary of project personnel.

1.3 Project Background Prior to its closure between 1972 and 1974, the old city dump was used by New Haven, its citizens,

and industries in the area for refuse disposal. An investigation of the New Haven site by the MDNR during 1989 included a reconnaissance of the old city dump. The dump was reported to be in an old quarry. A drainage immediately north and downhill of the dump contained pieces of dozens of drums. The soil had an organic chemical odor and, in places, was discolored with a blue tint (MDNR, 1989). A composite soil sample (0 to 7 ft deep) collected from the old city dump contained PCE (0.15 mg/kg) and 2-butanone (0.17 mg/kg). Since its closure, demolition material from excavations and tree trimmings have been placed over the dump site.

In 2003, a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) was completed. The RI/FS included

installation of monitoring wells and sampling of vegetation, monitoring wells, domestic wells, seeps, and surface-water near the site. Small (less than 1.0 ug/L [micrograms per liter) PCE concentrations, along with elevated levels of metals (antimony, boron, manganese, and nitrate) were detected through sampling at the site. The human-health risk assessment of OU3 indicated that the site posed a risk to human-health with concentrations of antimony in a seep from the dump being the primary driver for the risk (Missouri Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). The USEPA signed a Record of Decision (ROD) for OU3 in September 2003. The ROD specified one year of quarterly monitoring of monitoring wells and a seep at OU3 followed by monitoring every four years (within the year preceding the USEPA five-year review of the Riverfront Site) unless PCE is detected above MCL in any samples collected during the first year of quarterly monitoring. The first year of quarterly monitoring was completed in July 2004 and PCE was detected only in two monitoring wells at concentrations less than 1.0 ug/L.

As part of the ROD, an environmental covenant and possibly city ordinances or easements will be put

into action in order to eliminate or minimize exposure to the contaminants at OU3 and to limit the possibility of further contamination. The environmental covenant will also give notice of the contaminated area to future owners and users to guarantee that current and future owners grant access to federal and state officials for future monitoring.

1.4 Problem

Results from the Remedial Investigation showed a small (less than 1.0 ug/L [micrograms per liter])

PCE concentrations in monitoring wells and seeps at the site. No PCE was detected in nearby domestic wells. Since the PCE concentrations were all below the MCL of 5 micrograms per liter, it is unlikely that the aquifer and bedrock below OU3 has been severely contaminated with PCE. However, elevated levels of the metals antimony (Sb) and boron (B) were also discovered in the ground-water seeps at the dump. The MCL for antimony is 6 ug/L (micrograms per liter) and the maximum concentration detected from the ground-water seeps at OU3 was 82 ug/L (USEPA 2003). The USEPA does not have a MCL for boron, however the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has a ground water standard of 2,000 ug/L for boron. The maximum boron concentration detected in ground water at OU3 was 2,710 ug/L (USEPA, 2003). The human-health risk assessment indicated that OU3 posed potential risk to human-health, primarily from the elevated levels of antimony in the seeps and there was potential for contamination of nearby domestic wells.

1.5 Project Objectives and Scope


5

The selected remedy for OU-3 the old city dump is to monitor the site to ensure that contaminants do not migrate to new receptors. The LTM for OU3 outlined in the ROD specifies periodic sampling of four monitoring wells, one surface water seep, and four nearby domestic wells. This monitoring is to occur during the year preceding the USEPA five-year review of the site unless PCE is detected in monitoring wells at concentrations above the 5 ug/L (micrograms per liter) MCL (maximum contaminant level) or detected in a domestic well above the laboratory reporting level, upon which monitoring will be required more frequently.

The ROD was signed in 2003 and the first year of quarterly sampling of monitoring wells and seep

was completed in July 2004. The samples were analyzed for the following:

1. VOC’s; target COCs for the superfund investigation -- confirm that there are no VOCs above the MCL migrating from the site.

2. Inorganics; to determine levels of other COPC’s at OU3 (antimony, boron), and determine concentrations of indicators of landfill leachate such as sodium, chloride, and ammonia.

3. Field parameters (water level, dissolved oxygen [DO], iron II, pH, oxidation-reduction potential [ORP], and temperature) to determine hydrologic and geochemical conditions of ground water and ensure wells are properly purged before sampling.

The above suite and analytical and field parameters will be determined in all samples collected during

the OU3 LTM. In addition, a field equipment blank, and field duplicate sample also will be collected and analyzed for all constituents and VOC trip blanks will be submitted with each sample set.

The project schedule is listed in the OU3 LTM work plan. The USGS will conduct the required

domestic well inventory, 2008 annual inspection of site (with City Utilities Manager), conduct minor routine monitoring well maintenance (replace locks, painting, debris removal, etc.), and collect and analyze ground-water samples as specified in the ROD (four monitoring wells, four domestic wells, one seep, one duplicate, one equipment blank, and one trip blank). Sampling and laboratory analysis will be done according to approved USEPA protocols (described in the above documents). Samples will be collected before March 10, 2008 and results submitted to the City of New Haven by May 31, 2008 for delivery to the USEPA. Sample submittal will be written report (2008 Environmental Monitoring Report) summarizing field activities, sample results, interpretation of current results and comparison to historic results and trends. USGS also will address USEPA comments on the final report. USGS will also assist the City in preparation of an annual O&M monitoring report that will be submitted to the USEPA by July 1.

1.6 Quality Objectives and Criteria

The quality objective of the project is to provide valid data of known and documented quality from

the old city dump site (OU3) and vicinity shallow ground water in the area. The QA objectives for all measurement data include considerations for precision, accuracy, completeness, representativeness, and comparability. The effectiveness of a QA program is measured by the quality of data generated. Data quality is judged in terms of its accuracy, precision, completeness, representativeness, and comparability.

Standardized USGS field sample collection procedures and published USEPA and USGS analytical

methods will be used during this study. Analytical methods were selected to represent a balance between the need for low reporting levels and optimum accuracy with the need for minimal cost. Specific data objectives and analytical procedures are discussed in the following sections


6

1.6.1 Accuracy The degree of agreement of a measurement with an accepted reference or true value, usually

expressed as the difference between the two values, or the difference as a percentage of the reference or true value. Accuracy is a measure of the bias in a system.

1-Accuracy of field measurements will be evaluated by: (a) Standard methods-- Methods of measurement shall be used which, whenever possible, are

recognized and considered as standard by the scientific community. USGS field methods are standardized and described in the USGS National field manual for the collection of water-quality Data (USGS, 2007).

(b) Calibration and calibration checks of field instruments and equipment shall be performed at a frequency that will ensure each measurement is accurate.

(c) QA field standards -- All USGS personnel involved in the collection of water-quality samples are required to participate in a blind sample program. Standard reference water samples are analyzed by each person in the field for pH, specific conductance, and alkalinity.

2-Accuracy of laboratory analytical data will be evaluated by: (a) Standard methods-- Methods of analysis shall be used which, whenever possible, are

recognized and considered as standard by the scientific community. Standards methods established by the USGS or USEPA shall be used for this study as summarized in Section 2.4

(b) Calibration standards-- Primary standards shall be obtained from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly the National Bureau of Standards), USEPA repository, or other reliable commercial sources.

(c) Audit samples-- Audit samples monitor laboratory performance. The USGS laboratory participates in performance-evaluation studies through U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA); U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Branch of Quality Systems (BQS); National Research Council of Canada; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The USGS laboratory maintains NELAC certification and participates in the USEPA water-supply (WS) and water-pollution (WP) performance-evaluation studies. These national studies are conducted twice annually. The WS study is used to maintain certification for the determination of drinking-water constituents. The WP study assesses laboratory performance for measuring concentrations of constituents greater than those found in WS studies. The USGS laboratory analyzes about 30 constituents for the WS study and about 70 constituents for the WP study. VOC analyses for this study will be analyzed by a USGS contract laboratory, Test America Inc. in Arvada, Colorado. The contract laboratory is NELAC certified and also participates in USGS BQS QA program, among others.

(d) Surrogate spikes --Recovery of organic surrogate analytes shall be within three standard deviations of the laboratory established average recovery of the surrogate analyte. Deviation of more than two standard deviations will indicate a warning condition that may initiate further review by the analyst. Deviation of more than three standard deviations indicates an out-of-control condition and initiates a review by the analyst to determine the cause. For multi-analyte schedules, generally 80 percent of the analytes must be within control limits; however, each method is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

(e) Reagent spikes -- USGS laboratories monitors the recovery of analytes by using reagent spikes submitted at a minimum of 1 reagent spike per 10 samples. Selected analytes are charted and reported.

(f) Matrix spikes --The USGS laboratory does not routinely use matrix spikes to monitor analyte recovery in the laboratory and routine matrix spikes for inorganic constituents and nutrients analyzed at the USGS laboratory (schedule 1260 and 318) will not be prepared. Two matrix spikes are done for each sample batch of VOCs at the USGS contract laboratory. Because each


7

sample batch may include samples from several sites, matrix spike recoveries are not necessarily from a specific site.

1.6.2 Precision

Precision is the degree to which the measurement is reproducible. Precision is a measure of mutual agreement among individual measurements of the same property, usually under prescribed similar conditions. Precision is best expressed in terms of the standard deviation.

1-Precision of field measurements will be evaluated by: (a) Duplicate measurements of field properties, such as discharge, water level, pH, temperature,

specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen, ferrous iron.

2-Precision of laboratory analytical data will be evaluated by: (a) Reagent spike duplicates--The precision of all USGS methods has been determined and

published in Friedman and Erdmann (1982), Skougstad and others (1979), Wershaw and others (1987), and other USGS Open-File Reports. Reagent spikes submitted during each analytical run serve as precision checks. A summary of USGS laboratory analytical performance is provided at the National water-quality Laboratory website at http://wwwnwql.cr.usgs.gov/USGS/USGS_srv.html.

(b) Matrix (sample) duplicates --Agreement between duplicate analyses of environmental samples generally shall be within 20 to 30 relative percent difference.

1.6.3 Representativeness

The degree to which data accurately and precision represents a characteristic of a population, parameter variations at a sampling point, a process condition, or an environmental condition.

1- Representativeness of field data will be evaluated by: (a) Use of standard methods of measurement and sample collection. Sample representativeness and

comparability will be addressed by collecting samples according to established USGS sampling protocols referenced in this document. The USGS collects tens of thousands of water-quality samples from across the United States under strict data collection protocols published in the USGS National Field Manual for the Collection of Water-Quality Data (USGS, 2007). The USGS National Field Manual is available online at http://water.usgs.gov/owq/FieldManual/index.html. Strict adherence or documentation of variation from these protocols provides samples that accurately represent the water quality during the time of collection.

(b) Following manufacture directions and specifications for colorimetric determination of dissolved oxygen and ferrous iron.

(c) Documentation of reasons for use of nonstandard techniques. Variations in field sample collection protocols will be documented in the USGS field form. The reason for variation from standard protocols will be listed.

(d) Adherence to USGS chain of custody (COC) procedures.

2-Representativeness of laboratory analytical data will be evaluated by: (a) Use of preservation techniques (such as chilling or acidification during shipment) to minimize

sample degradation, which may occur between sample collection and sample analysis. (b) Holding times prescribed in 40 CFR 136 shall be adhered to by the analytical laboratory. (c) Field and laboratory blank analyses will be used to determine if samples have been

contaminated. (d) Matrix spikes for VOC and surrogate spikes will be used to determine the presence of matrix

effects.


8

1.6.4 Comparability

Comparability expresses the confidence with which one data set can be compared to another data set measuring the same property.

1-Comparability of field measurements will be evaluated by: (a) Standard methods --Methods of measurement shall be used which, whenever possible, are

recognized and considered as standard by the scientific community. (b) Reporting units --Data shall be consistently reported in units specified in the USGS Laboratory

Handbook. 2-Comparability of laboratory analytical data will be evaluated by: (a) Standard methods-Methods of analysis shall be used which, whenever possible, are recognized

and considered as standard by the scientific community. Standards methods established by the USGS or USEPA shall be used for this study as summarized in Section 2.4

(b) Reporting units-Data shall be consistently reported in units specified in the USGS Laboratory Handbook or USEPA method.

1.6.5 Completeness

Completeness is a measure of the amount of valid data obtained from a measurement system compared to the amount that was expected to be obtained under normal conditions. A completeness goal of 95 percent is desired for this project. The critical samples to meet the project objectives are those collected from the four established monitoring wells and a completeness goal of 100 percent is required for these samples. Depending upon weather conditions, the seep on the north side of the dump may not be flowing at the time of sampling; however, sampling is proposed for the winter/spring months when the seep is most likely to be flowing. Four domestic wells within 1,500 ft of the dump (JS-26, JS-28, JS-31, PB-17) were sampled during the RI/FS. Sampling of these wells is dependent upon owner consent and while the goal is to sample all four wells, sampling of any three of the wells will be considered successful. In addition to sampling of domestic wells, an inventory of all wells in the area will be made to identify any new (post 2004) domestic wells in proximity to OU3. If new wells are located, their location and well construction information will be provided to the USEPA project manager to determine if they should be sampled.

1-Completeness of field data will be evaluated by: (a) All measurements and observations shall be recorded in a notebook and reviewed in terms of

stated goals. (b) All deviations from standard operating procedure (SOP) shall be recorded and documented. 2-Completeness of laboratory analytical data will be evaluated by: (a) Each data set (batch) shall contain all QC check analyses verifying precision and accuracy for

the analytical protocol. (b) Each data set (batch) shall contain a field and trip blank analysis. (c) All pertinent dates are recorded (for example, dates received, extracted, analyzed). (d) All requested analyses shall be performed or documentation provided as to the reason for

nonperformance. 1.7 USGS Project Personnel and Training

All USGS personnel working on the project have completed a USGS National Water-Quality field

methods course and participate in the USGS field quality assurance (QA) program. The field QA program provides semi-annual blind samples to all personnel performing field water-quality measurements. The


9

two specific objectives of the NFQA Program are to provide precision data for the field measurements and to identify water-quality analysts who need additional training. Annual proficiency samples are distributed to individuals who determine alkalinity, pH and specific conductance in the field. The data are summarized and the most probable value (MPV) is determined from all the data. No distinction is made between USGS measurements or data provided by the contract or cooperator personnel when determining the MPV. After the samples are analyzed and the results returned, a proficiency report is prepared by the NFQA manager and submitted to the appropriate USGS offices for review. An annual proficiency report rates values reported by the water-quality analysts as satisfactory, marginal or unsatisfactory. These criteria are:

Acceptance Criteria for USGS National Field Quality Assurance (NFQA) Program. [uS/cm, microsiemens per centimeter as 25 degrees Celsius; MPV, most probably value]

Determination Satisfactory Marginal Unsatisfactory pH, units +- 0.1 unit +- .0.1-0.2 units +- greater than 0.2 units Specific conductance, less than 67 uS/cm

+- 2.0 uS/cm +- 2.0 to 4.0 uS/cm Greater than =- 4 uS/cm

Specific conductance, greater than 67 uS/cm

within 4% of MPV

4 to 6 percent of MPV Greater than 6% MPV

Alkalinity MPV +- 1.5 SD MPV +- (1.5-2.0) SD MPV +- greater than 2.0 SD Corrective actions None required Local USGS water-quality

specialist and employee review procedure, check meters, probes

Local USGS water-quality specialist and employee review procedure and re-train if needed. Also check meters, probes, and rerun new blind sample..

Results of the blind QA samples are reviewed by the USGS Missouri Water-Quality Specialist (Jerri

Davis) whom oversees program results at the USGS State-level, and the local USGS project chief John Schumacher. Corrective actions will be implemented by the USGS Missouri Water-Quality Specialist according to criteria listed above. In addition to the NFQA, all personnel will have completed the basic 40-hour health and safety training course “Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response” (HAZWOPER) and annual 8-hour refresher courses or work directly with someone with such training.

USGS project personnel are the following: John Schumacher Hydrologist/geochemist 40 hour HAZWOPER 17 years experience Doug Mugel Hydrogeologist 40 hour HAZWOPER 18 years experience Paul Brenden Hydrologic technician 40 hour HAZWOPER 10 years experience Brianna Force Student Hydrologic technician 1 year experience 1.8 Documentation and Records

A copy of the approval project QAPP will be placed in the USGS field vehicle for reference by the

project chief. USGS personnel will record all pertinent field activities associated with the collection of water samples. Each sample location will be assigned a 15 digit number comprised of the location’s latitude and longitude, plus a 2 digit sequence number. For example, a NWIS ID 372736091063001 indicates a site at latitude 370 27’ 36” and longitude 0910 06’ 30” and site 01 at this location. The USGS permanently stores water information (field and laboratory measurements) in the NWIS electronic database. The system is made up of three linked databases; water quality (QW DATA), ground water (GWSI), and surface water (ADAPS).

Detailed documentation of water samples collected from monitoring wells, sample-collection method,

and variation from standard protocols (if needed) will be made on a USGS water-quality field notes form.


10

An example of this form is given as Appendix A. Results of the sampling effort will be compiled into a “2008 OU3 Environmental Monitoring Report”. Contents of the report are described in the OU3 LTM work plan but will include a summary of current data, comparison to previous sample results and trends, and comparison to criteria in the ROD and CD. The report also will include the complete analytical data package from the laboratory (on CDROM) and scans of field notes (pdf format).

All samples will be clearly labeled with 15 digit NWIS site ID, Project ID number, Bottle type and

preservation code, field ID (alphabetic character representing the order that the samples were collected (A, B, C, etc.), date, time, analytical method requested; USGS project number, and collector. Sample labels will be pre-printed at the USGS office with blank spaces for sample collection date and time. Labels will be placed on sample bottles at the collection site and covered with clear plastic tape immediately before filling to ensure labels do not smudge or become detached from sample bottles. The following is an example sample bottle label:

1.8.2 Field Records

A standard USGS ground-water field form will be used to record sample collection method, ambient

conditions, field measurements, instruments used, meter make and serial number, calibration notes, sample preservative type and lot number, weather conditions, sample equipment, collector(s), and any other pertinent information (Appendix A). In addition to the 15-digit location number, each sample site also has a Riverfront site project number that is tied to the superfund site project database. This project ID number will be used in addition to the 15 digit number on sample collection forms, sample media (ground water, surface water), sample date and time, to track data in USGS electronic databases. In addition to field sheets, a bound project field book will be used to document daily site activities (arrival time, general activities, personnel present, sample collected, contacts, etc.).

1.8.3 Sample custody and analytical request forms

A USGS analytical services request (ASR) form will be submitted with each sample to the USGS

National Water Quality Laboratory (inorganic constituents and nutrients). The USGS ASR form is used by the USGS as a general custody form as it contains sampler shipper signature. A standard Chain-of_Custody (COC) form also will be sent with each sample shipment. Example of both forms are provides in Appendix B. Samples in both laboratories are tracked by a unique Laboratory Information

This number is cross-checked with the sample number (15-digit number indicating sample latitude and longitude and 2-digit user assigned sequence number for USGS lab (USGS project ID number 8611-9D629 for the contract laboratory), sample name, field ID, sample date and time.

1.8.4 Electronic Data Management

Water information for sample associated with a specific site is stored by date, time, and a 6-digit

parameter code for each physical property or chemical constituent. Several thousand parameter codes are available including sample collection descriptors, domestic and monitoring well information descriptors, and a variety of inorganic and organic constituent descriptors. All water information in the District NWIS system is transferred to the National USGS National Water-Data Storage and Retrieval System (WATSTORE) database maintained in Reston, Virginia. Information in the WASTORE database also is transferred to the USEPA STORET database. Analytical data not entered into the LIMS or NWIS systems, such as estimated values for constituents that do not have appropriate WATSTORE parameter codes, or values that were obtained using non-approved methods (screening methods), are entered into a project water-quality database on a personal computer. The SPC and QA Officer will summarize all analytical data (including screening data) in a table format for inclusion into the final 2008 environmental monitoring report.

Inorganic constituent and nutrient data will be analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality

Laboratory in Denver, Colorado and data will be automatically entered into the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) electronic database. Volatile organic compound analyses will be performed by the USGS contract laboratory in Arvada, Colorado (method 8260) or Savannah, GA (method 524.2). VOC data is transmitted from the contract laboratory electronically in addition to the full analytical data package (both hard copy and pdf format on CDROM). Electronic data from the VOC analysis at the contract laboratory will be loaded into the USGS NWIS.

1.8.5 Archives

All project field sheets, analytical services request forms, chain-of-custody forms, contract laboratory

data packages, and miscellaneous notes (such well inventory notes, survey notes, bound field book pages etc.) will be scanned and archived as Adobe Portable Document™ (pdf) files and included in the environmental monitoring report in hard copy and an attached CD-ROM. Original paper copies will be part of the USGS archives and stored onsite at the USGS office in Rolla, Missouri. Electronic data entered into the USGS NWIS database is considered a permanent record of data results. In addition, the USGS and contract laboratories maintain permanent offsite record repositories or all raw laboratory files, and sample custody forms.

2.0 MEASUREMENTS AND DATA ACQUISITION The following sections describe methods used for the collection and water samples and methods used

for the collection and evaluation of field and laboratory data. All data used in this project, except construction information for domestic wells, will be collected as part of this immediate project or part of the overall USEPA Riverfront site RI, which is being conducted by the USGS using identical methods, personnel, and equipment to that described in the QAPP. Domestic well construction information is obtained from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Wellhead Protection Section or actual well owner. This information is generally limited to well depth, casing depth, water depth, well pump depth and capacity, well location. There will be no attempt to verify the accuracy of well construction information beyond comparison of information provided by the well owner to that entered in the Wellhead Protection Section database and well coordinate information that will be obtained at the time of sample collection using a WASS enabled hand-held GPS. Well coordinate information obtained from the GPS (reported in degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds, NAD83) will be used to enter the well into the USGS-USEPA project GIS database. The well location will be verified by comparing the GPS result, and the MDNR database location (if provided) to the image on a 2004 digital orthophotoquadrangle (DOQ). The GPS coordinates may be adjusted to match the DOQ if they appear more than 60 ft in error.

2.1 General Sample Design

The USGS has conducted monitoring well, seep, stream, soil, and domestic well sampling at the

Riverfront Site since 1999 under several approved QAPP and SAPs. Field and laboratory procedures and sampling personnel for the OU3 LTM will be similar if not identical to those used across the site at other OUs. This consistency has the advantage of ensuring that sample results, regardless of OU or collection time, are directly comparable and of standardized quality.

Prior to beginning sampling activities, an inventory of domestic wells within 0.5-mi (mile) of OU3

will be done to identify domestic wells that may have been installed since the ROD. The USGS routinely conducts well inventories throughout Missouri. This inventory will consist of a search of USGS NWIS and the Missouri DNR wellhead protection section electronic database of well registration records 30 days before beginning field activities, and a “drive around” search of the area the first day of field activities. The location and construction information of any new domestic wells identified will be reported to the City project manager and the USEPA within 7 days of field verification of the wells. Any “new” wells identified during the well inventory will be added to the USGS/USEPA Riverfront site GIS database. Wells will be given a 5 character project ID number, such as “JS-53”, comprised of a two letter code indicating the USGS person whom inventoried the well (e.g. JS= John Schumacher, DM=Doug Mugel) or consultant (e.g. PA=Parsons Engineering) and a sequence number from 01-99. GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) will be used to assign each a well a USGS National Water System Information System (NWIS) 15 digit ID number as described in section 1.9. After the completion of the well inventory, sampling of domestic wells, followed by sampling of monitoring wells and seep M will be done. A summary of samples to be collected and analytes is provided in Table 2-1.

Samples to be collected

Parameter/suite Analysis source Rationale and goals

Riverfront Site Analytical Constituents 1 sample from each well, 1 duplicate sample, one field equipment blank, and one trip blank. 11 total samples plus one trip blank per cooler

VOC USGS contract laboratory (method 8260 or 524.2)

Primary COC at the site. Although monitoring wells and seep M are not used for drinking water, use of method 524.2 for all samples will provide low (sub part per billion) and consistent reporting for all VOCs and all samples (including blanks) will be run at the same time and same analytical equipment. Because of the infrequent monitoring of the site (every 5 years unless above MCL levels are found) use of method 524.2 will provide the most protectiveness through its low (sub- part per billion) reporting levels

1 sample from each well and 1 duplicate sample and one equipment blank (10 total samples)

Dissolved major ions, and trace elements, and nutrients

USGS Laboratory , USGS schedule 1260 (dissolved inorganics), schedule 318 (dissolved nutrients)

Determine general water quality and determine if contamination by inorganic constituents in landfill leachate is present. Concentrations of nitrogen species, dissolved iron, and manganese aid in establishing limits on the oxidizing-reducing potential of ground water.

Field Measurements Purge parameter and recorded at time of sampling

Water level Field (follow standard USGS ground-water level measurement protocols)

Determine altitude of water in each monitoring and domestic well. Data used to construct map showing the attitude of the water table during sampling trip to estimate direction of shallow ground-water flow at the time of sampling. Also monitored during well purging to provide an estimate of well yield.

Purge parameter and recorded at time of sampling

Specific conductance Field (according to standard USGS water-quality guidelines)

General parameter indicating the relative quantity of dissolved solids in the water. Useful indicator of gross inorganic contamination of water. Also used as stabilization parameter during well purging.


Temperature Field (according to standard USGS water-quality guidelines)

Standard field measurement. Variations in temperature can indicate influx of surface water or areas of rapid infiltration. Also used as stabilization parameter during well purging.


pH Field Field (according to standard USGS water-quality guidelines)

General water-quality parameter and can influence solubility of inorganic constituents. Also used as stabilization parameter during well purging.


Dissolved oxygen Field colorimetric Indicator of general geochemical conditions in the aquifer. Also useful in determining if reductive dechlorination of solvents may occur. Also used as stabilization parameter during well purging.


Alkalinity Field (according to standard USGS water-quality guidelines)

Incremental titration to determine concentrations of bicarbonate and carbonate. When combined with specific conductance, helps in determining gross contamination of ground water. Also, excessive alkalinity may indicate degradation of reduced organic compounds or presence of excessive organic acids, the anions of which, are titrated when determining total alkalinity.

Oxidizing-Reducing Potential

2.2 Water Sampling Methods

Contamination of water samples during collection and processing is a major concern. To minimize

the potential for such contamination the USGS uses a “clean hands” “dirty hands” approach to the collection of environmental samples. All personnel involved in sample collection will wear a clean pair of non-contaminating disposable gloves such as powder-free latex or polyethylene gloves. Gloves will be changed between sample collection and sample preservation. Generally, one person will perform sample collection and splitting activities (dirty hands), and a second person will perform sample filtering and


14

preservation (clean hands). All sample processing (filtering, preservation, alkalinity titration) will be done inside a dedicated “clean” USGS water-quality sampling vehicle. Because the water-quality vehicle is dedicated for processing of water samples, no fuels, generators, paints, solvents, lubricants, and other equipment that could cause contamination of samples is permitted inside the vehicle. Sampling pumps used for collection of monitoring well samples require the use of a gasoline-powered generator and this equipment will be carried in a separate vehicle or on rack mounted on the front of the water-quality vehicle. Actual sample pump may be carried inside the water-quality vehicle but are stored away from sample processing areas and inside of plastic covers. Operation of the generator, including fueling, will not be done by the same person processing water-quality samples and gloves will be changed between operation of the generator and handling of any sampling collection or processing equipment. In addition, experience has shown that vapors on hands or clothing from fueling vehicles or generators can be a source of VOC contamination and these activities will NOT be done on the same day as sample collection but at the end of the field day after all samples are processed and stored in appropriate coolers. In addition, permanent markers such as Sharpie™ are not used for labeling VOC samples because they contain large quantities of acetone and other ketones that have been known to contaminate VOC samples.

2.2.1 Domestic wells

A total of four domestic wells (JS-26, JS-28, JS-31, PB-17) will be sampled for this project (fig. 2). Wells sampled will be those sampled once during the initial year of quarterly RA monitoring performed by the USEPA during 2003-2004. With USEPA concurrence, other wells may be substituted if owner consent is not obtained or new wells are identified during the well inventory. Before sampling, a brief interview with well owners will be made to obtain consent to sample and to determine any problems (such as odor, taste, water quantity, recent well/pump work, installation of softeners, chlorination of well, etc.) with the well that might have bearing on interpretation of sample results. A Well inventory form (Appendix A) will be completed or updated (previously sampled wells) to documents results of interview. In addition, the area around the well will be inspected to determine, if possible, location of septic tanks, animal pens, equipment storage areas, etc. The well cap will be removed and the depth to water measured. After the depth to water has been measured, a short (3-5 ft long) section of standard water hose will be attached to the faucet and the faucet/tap open to discharge into a 5-gal (gallon) bucket and allowed to overflow. The discharge rate will be measured by recording the time to fill the bucket. A longer hose may be used to divert purge water away from high-use areas or buildings.

Specific conductance and temperature will be monitored using a combination

conductance/temperature probe in the bucket (this allows the probe to cool or warm to the approximate water temperature). Periodically (about every 5 minutes), a 250 ml (milliliter) beaker will be filled, and the specific conductance, temperature, and pH will be determined by placing the appropriate probes in the beaker. Dissolved oxygen readings will be made periodically during purging to monitor D.O. trends. After approximately one well volume and 3 successive stable measurements (criteria listed in section 2.4), the faucet flow will be decreased to less than 250 ml per minute, the water hose replaced with a stainless steel 0.25-in. barb, and ferrous iron and a final dissolved oxygen measurement will be done using the Chemetrics snap vials. Following ferrous iron and the final D.O. reading, VOC samples will be collected in 40 ml septum vials. Following collection of VOC samples, samples for unfiltered (raw) inorganic constituents (RU bottle designation) will be collected in appropriate bottles. For dissolved inorganic constituents, a 3-L (liter) tefon ® bottle will be used to collect a raw water sample for transport to the USGS water-quality van where the water will be filtered through a 0.45 um (micrometer) cellulose-acetate disposable capsule filter into the appropriate sample bottles (FCC or FA bottle designations).

2.2.2 Monitoring wells


15

Four monitoring wells are to be sampled during this project (BW-03, BW-31, BW-31A, BW-32). Construction drawing for these wells are provided in Appendix E. Monitoring wells will be purged and sampled using a non-contaminating submersible pump placed 5 to 10 ft below the water surface in the well. Prior to sampling, water-level measurements will first be taken in all monitoring wells. A Grundfos Rediflow-2™ stainless steel and Teflon® submersible pump will be used to purge and sample monitoring wells. Well purge rate will depend upon the yield of the individual well but will be adjusted to keep the water-level above the top of the well screen (BW-31A) or a maximum of about 1.5 gpm. The goal is to avoid substantial drawdown in the well bore that could introduce air into the aquifer or result in increased turbidity.

Sample pumps will be cleaned at the USGS Rolla, Missouri before sampling and decontaminated

between each monitoring well sample. Water pumped will be discharged into a 5 gallon bucket and allowed to overflow onto the land surface (historic data indicates no COCs above MCLs in any monitoring wells that would necessitate containment of the purge water). Specific conductance and temperature will be monitored using a combination conductance/temperature probe in the bucket (this allows the probe itself to cool or warm to the approximate water temperature). Periodically (about every 5 minutes), a 250 ml (milliliter) beaker will be filled, and the specific conductance, temperature, and pH determined by placing the appropriate probes in the beaker. Dissolved oxygen readings will be made periodically during purging to monitoring D.O. trends. After 3 successive stable measurements (criteria listed in section 2.4), the flow will be decreased to less than 250 ml per minute and ferrous iron and a final dissolved oxygen measurement will be obtained using the Chemetrics snap vials. Following ferrous iron and the final D.O. reading, VOC samples will be collected directly from the pump outlet in 40 ml septum vials. After the collection of VOC samples, the raw inorganic constituent (RU) bottle will be filled directly from the hose outlet and a 3-L (liter) tefon ® bottle will be used to collect a raw water sample for transport to the USGS water-quality van where the water will be filtered through a 0.45 um (micrometer) cellulose-acetate disposable capsule filter into the appropriate (FCC and FA) sample bottles.

2.2.3 Seep M

Samples from seep M at the old city dump will be collected by filling 40 ml VOC vials directly from the seep. If insufficient flow is available for this method, water from the seep will be pooled by digging a small hole at or beneath the seep orifice with a hand spade. After the pool has filled and overflowed for 10 to 15 minutes, VOC vials will be filled by removing the cap, immersing the vial and cap beneath the surface, and capping the vial beneath the surface. After the collection of VOC samples, samples for inorganic constituents and nutrients will be collected. A clean 250-mL or 1,000 mL Teflon ® bottle will be used to dip aliquots of water from the seep pool and fill the 3-L Teflon ® compositing bottle. Care will be used to place the bottle opening beneath the pool surface and avoid contact with the bottom of the pool. After a minimum of 1.5-L of raw water has been placed into the 3-L Teflon® compositing bottle, the bottle will be quickly transferred to the water-quality van where the water will be filtered through a 0.45 um (micrometer) cellulose-acetate disposable capsule filter into the appropriate sample bottles.

After collection of water samples from the seep pool, field measurements of specific conductance,

temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen will be measured by immersing the appropriate electrodes directly in the seep or seep pool. These measurements are done after collection of water samples to minimize disturbance of the seep pool causing suspension of particulates and avoid potential cross contamination of the seep pool from probes. Care will be used to ensure that pH bulbs do not contact objects and that the level of electrolyte in the reference electrode remains above the surface of the pool.

2.2.4 Quality Control Samples


16

In addition to the 9 proposed environmental samples (4 domestic wells, 4 monitoring wells, one seep), two additional quality-control samples will be collected for this project. One duplicate sample will be collected from monitoring well BW-32. This well was selected because it contained a trace PCE concentration (0.55 ug/L) during the July 2004 quarterly sampling event. A field equipment blank also will be collected from the submersible pump/hose assembly used to collected water-samples from monitoring wells. The equipment blank will be collected at the end of the monitoring well sampling to verify that cross-contamination between monitoring wells is not a concern. The pump will be cleaned as described in section 2.5.2 after which 3-gal of laboratory-grade deionized water will be run through the sample pump. This volume of water will not fill the entire 200 ft of pump hose but will fill about 30-40 ft of the hose. The water will be allowed to sit in the hose for 5 minutes, then the hose will be disconnected from the pump and water expelled by applying a small positive pressure to the discharge end of the hose using a small nitrogen tank and regulator. The expelled water will be collected in the 3-L Teflon® composite bottle. VOC vials, and the RU bottle will be filled directly from the compositing bottle and samples for filtered inorganic constituents will be processed as described section 2.3.

In addition to duplicate and field equipment blank samples, a VOC field blank will be processed. The

VOC field blank will be a set of three VOC vials containing laboratory certified VOC-free water that are opened and acidified in the water-quality van at the same time as one of the monitoring well samples. VOC trip blanks will be carried in each cooler where VOC samples are placed. The number of VOC trip blanks used will depend upon the number of sample coolers used for VOC storage and shipment.

2.3 Sample Handling and Processing

Sample handling and processing of water samples for the determination of VOCs and inorganic

constituents will follow standard USGS protocols defined in the USGS Office of Water Quality Technical Memorandum 94.09 and Sheldon (1994) and National field manual (USGS. 2007). Personnel involved in sample collection will wear a clean pair of non-contaminating disposable polyethylene gloves and follow the “clean hands/dirty hands” protocol discussed in section 2.4. Documentation of field collection techniques, equipment used, samples collection, and field measurements are made using a USGS ground-water quality field form (Appendix A).

2.3.1 Sample collection order

Specific sampling procedures vary slightly depending upon the media (monitoring well, domestic well, seep) and are described in section 2.4. General procedures applicable to all media sampled are outlined to minimize potential for cross-contamination of samples during collection samples. A primary procedure is to fill and preserve sample bottles in a specific order: VOC, RU, followed by 3-L or 1-L Teflon® composite bottle for filtered samples (FCC then FA bottle, see Appendix D for a description of bottle codes). VOC vials will be filled directly from the tap/faucet (domestic wells) or directly from the pump outlet (monitoring wells). After collection of VOC samples, bottles for unfiltered inorganic constituents (RU bottle designation) will be filled directly from the tap/pump outlet.

2.3.2 Sample Filtration

Samples for dissolved constituents will be processed by first filling a 3-L (liter) Teflon® bottle from the tap or pump outlet. This bottle will be carried to the USGS water-quality van where a 30-mL aliquot will be poured for field alkalinity titration. After removal of the alkalinity aliquot filtered samples will be processed by placing a peristaltic pump hose into the 3-L bottle (outside of hose field rinsed first), 250 mL purged through the hose and discharged to waste, then the appropriate sample volumes filtered. The filtration of samples for inorganic constituents is accomplished using a variable speed, reversible-flow battery-operated peristaltic pump that forces the raw sample water through a 0.45 μm (micrometer) pore-size disposable capsule filter. The peristaltic pump will be equipped with Tygon™ tubing. If a


17

submersible pump is used, the capsule filter can be attached directly to the pump hose outlet (flow rate reduced to 250 ml per minute or less). A summary of the bottle type designations, required sample volumes and preservation codes are provided in Appendixs C and D.

2.3.3 Sample preservation and shipping

After collection, samples will be preserved with the appropriate preservatives and placed on ice for shipment to the appropriate laboratories. A summary of sample bottle preservation is provided in Appendix D. Samples for anions are not preserved. Samples for dissolved major and trace inorganic constituents are preserved with ultra-pure nitric acid at a rate of 1 mL of acid per 250 mL of sample. Samples for nutrients are preserved with 1 mL of 1:4 N sulfuric acid and chilled. Because inorganic constituents are preserved with ultra-pure nitric acid (Bottle code FA, Appendix C), which can contaminant nutrient samples (Bottle code FCC), gloves will be changed between preserving the FCC and FA sample bottles with the FA sample bottle preserved last.

Samples will be shipped to the appropriate laboratories as soon as possible by priority overnight carrier. It is anticipated that 2 days will be required to collect and process all samples with domestic wells sampled on the first day, followed by monitoring wells and seep M on day two. All samples will be shipped within 24 hours after the last samples are collected and within 72 hours of the collection of the first sample. In addition, field work will be scheduled such that sampling will occur to the early part of the work week (Monday-Wednesday) with samples scheduled to be shipped on Wednesday or Thursday. Shipment of samples on Fridays or before holidays will be avoided to ensure samples are not held at the air carrier depot and arrive at the laboratory above 4oC or outside of holding times.

2.4 Analytical Methods and Quality Assurance Goals

For this project only proven and documented USGS or USEPA analytical methods will be used. The

USGS methods are validated (including precision and accuracy data), are externally reviewed, and published either as a USGS Techniques of Water- Resources Investigation Report (TWRI) or Open-File Report (OFR). USGS can also use interim and custom methods that internally reviewed and validated, but these methods are not applicable to the OU3 LTM. Before a USGS laboratory uses a non-USGS method, the laboratory first demonstrates its ability to run the methods according to published criteria. External performance audits also may be done.

The numerical quality-assurance goals for field and laboratory measured data are as follows: CONSTITUENT ACCURACY PRECISION (Relative percent difference) Water level + 0.01 feet Within .2 percent

Water temperature + 0.5 degrees Celsius Within 5 percent Specific conductance + 2 percent Within 2 percent pH + 0.05 pH unit Within 5 percent

Dissolved Oxygen + 0.1 mg/L (<1mg/L) + 0.5 mg/L (>1mg/L) Within 20 percent Ferrous Iron + 0.1 mg/L Within 20 percent Alkalinity + 5 percent Within 5 percent Laboratory analytes + 3 standard deviations Generally within 5 percent (30 percent for VOCs) Failure to achieve these criteria generally will result in re-sampling and re-analyses. Corrective actions for USGS laboratory QA issues will be addressed according to Maloney (2007).

Dissolved inorganic constituents will be determined using USGS schedule 1260 that provides a


18

comprehensive suite of major and trace cations and anions using several published USGS methods (Appendix C). Cations are determined by a combination of ICP-AES (inductively coupled argon plasma-atomic emission spectrometry), ICP (inductively coupled argon plasma), ICP-MS (inductively coupled argon plasma-mass spectrometry), AAGF (Atomic adsorption graphic furnace). Anions are determine by IC (ion chromatograph) except for fluoride which is by ion-specific electrode (Appendix C). Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus species) are determined by one of two USGS colorimetric or colorimetric-cadmium-reduction methods. A summary of analytical methods, required sample volumes, preservation codes, and laboratory reporting levels is provided below in Table 2-1 and details provided in Appendix C.

2.5 Instrument Calibration, Equipment Decontamination, Supplies, and Maintenance

The project field team leader (Paul Brenden) is responsible for the proper operation, calibration,

decontamination, routine maintenance, and storage of all field instruments and equipment, and documentation of calibrations. The following are general descriptions of instrument calibration and equipment decontamination procedures, and supplies to be used in this investigation. All field equipment is stored at room temperature in a designated equipment storage area at the USGS Rolla office. While in the field, equipment is transported in protective containers and stored inside the locked field vehicle unless overnight temperatures are expected to be below freezing, upon which, meters and calibration standards are removed from the vehicle and stored in a motel room or USGS office.

2.5.1 Field Instrument Calibration and Maintenance

All water-quality field instrumentation MUST be calibrated at the beginning of each sampling day according to manufacturer’s specifications. Additionally, a calibration check of pH meters must be performed every 4 hours thereafter. At the end of the sampling day, a calibration check of all field instruments MUST be performed to ensure that the calibration curve has not changed beyond acceptable limits. Field meters will be maintained according to manufacture recommendations. Meter batteries will be replaced as needed and spares batteries will be carried in the field vehicle. In addition to spare batteries, backup meters and probes also are carried in the field vehicle in the event of malfunction or breakage in the field.

Water Level meters The USGS uses electric tape water-level meters. These tapes have a sensor that closes an electrical

circuit when the sensor tip contacts the water surface in the well. The tape is marked every 0.01 feet. The USGS maintains a calibration log on each electric tape meter used in the field. Annually each tape is compared to a steel survey-grade chain to (every ten feet) to check for stretching of the electric tape. A table is kept with each electric tape (identified by meter serial number) and water-level measurements adjusted accordingly. Water level measurements will be made from a marked point at the top of the well casing. Meters will be rinsed with deionized water between wells and rinsed with a 0.1 percent bleach solution before each domestic well measurement (to prevent bacterial contamination of the domestic well). Before use, the meter will be checked to ensure that the sensor properly indicates when the water surface is encountered. This check will include use of the shorting switch on the meter to ensure the battery charge is sufficient to run the instrument and an inspection of the meter probe for debris and abrasions to the insulation. The meter probe also will be immersed in a tap water solution before use to ensure that the contact light and buzzer are working properly. After use, the meter will be decontaminated and dried for next use.

Specific conductance meters Routine calibration is a two-point calibration check bracketing the expected operating range. Two

conductance standards that bracket the expected sample value will be used. The water-quality van will have specific standards ranging from 250 to 2,500 uS/cm. If one or both of these readings do not fall within 2 percent of the expected reading, the cables, battery, and probe, will be checked and the calibration attempted again. If readings remain outside the limits, the meter will be calibrated by adjusting the slope factor and measurements checked again to verify calibration. The calibration readings, meter make, model number, and serial number will be recorded on the field sheet. All specific conductance reading are expressed as “specific” conductivity adjusted to 25 degrees Celsius using a temperature compensation factor of 2 percent per degree Celsius. Sample temperature will be measured using the thermister attached to the specific conductance probe that has been annually checked against a NBS traceable laboratory thermometer. Specific conductance meters have a cell constant factor that can be


21

adjusted as part of the meter calibration. These constant vary for a given meter, and typically, if the constant is required to be adjusted more than 10 percent for the default setting, the meter should considered suspect, and the probe cleaned, batteries checked, and a review of the manual before use. In the event that no explanation for the large change in cell constant is found, the backup meter should be used.

pH meters (field) Routine calibration is done using NBS traceable pH 7.0, 4.0, and 10.0 buffers selected to bracket the

expected sample pHs. Before calibration and use, ensure the probe electrolyte level is full and undamaged (no cracks or pits), the vent cap is open, and the electrode placed in pH 7 buffer first and the meter is in calibration mode. The initial pH reading is recorded as well as the adjusted reading. The electrode is then rinsed with DI water followed by pH 4.0 buffer before calibration in 4.0 solution. Again the initial and final calibrated readings are recorded before calibration of pH 10.0 buffer. After the third calibration point, the slope factor is recorded and if not between 90-110percent the probe will be replaced and calibration repeated.. At least one calibration check on pH 7.0 buffer will be made every 4 hours and if reading are not within 0.2 pH units of the expected value re-calibration will be done. Record readings and meter make, model, slope, and serial number on the field sheet. A slope factor obtained during the calibration process. The slope should be between 90 and 110 percent or recalibration should be done after a thorough inspection of the probe (for cracks, electrolyte level, etc.) and meter batteries.

Dissolved Oxygen Dissolved oxygen measurement are made using a colorimetric kit manufactured by the Chemitrics

Corporation. Two kits, a 1-12 mg/L range and a .01- 1.0 mg/L kit allow for measurements of dissolved oxygen to the nearest 1.0 mg/L (1-12 mg/L range) or 0.1 mg/L (.01 to 1.0 mg/L) range. Comparison standards in each kit are replaced at the manufacture recommended intervals.

2.5.2 Equipment Decontamination

All field equipment will be thoroughly decontaminated prior to and between each use according to

modifications of the standardized USGS protocols described in the National field manual (USGS, 2007). The general decontamination protocol to be followed for sampling equipment is a 0.1 percent Liquinox-tap water wash and scrub, tap-water rinse, triple deionized water rinse. If organic constituents are collected, the deionized water rinse is followed by a methanol rinse and double rinse with HPLC-grade deionized water. Submersible pumps and tubing used to sample monitoring wells will be decontaminated by placing the pump head in a short (18-in long) PVC tube filled with 0.1 liquinox solution after removing from the well. The pump will be turned on and the tube re-filled from a stock container of liquinox until 0.25-gal of solution has been run through the pump, after which a minimum of 3-gal of deionized water will be run through the pump and tubing. Discharge from the pump outlet will be used to rinse the outside of the pump tubing and followed by a final deionized water rinse using a hand pump sprayer..

2.5.3 Sampling Containers and Supplies

In general, all sample containers shall be supplied by the USGS National Water-Quality Laboratory

or the USGS contract laboratory. Containers will be certified contaminant-free. All preservatives (such as acids for trace element preservation) used will be obtained from the USGS laboratory and are quality assured. All preservatives are individually packaged in ampules and identified by lot number. The lot number of each ampule used for each sample is recorded on the water-quality field form (Appendix A). Primary sample supplies needed are:

2.5.4 Laboratory Instrument Calibration and Maintenance

All laboratory methods to be used for this investigation have established documented protocols

regarding instrument calibration and operation. All calibration and operational requirements (including raw data records) for the specified methods shall be followed. Reporting limits are established in the published methods. Acceptance test of laboratory systems, preventative and corrective maintenance will be done according to the particular laboratory method SOP (listed in and genera USGS laboratory Quality Management System (Maloney, 2007).

3.0 DATA MANAGEMENT AND VALIDATION

3.1 Data Management and Verification

Review of laboratory data and verification are performed by a qualified laboratory analyst at the

USGS laboratory or USGS contract laboratory prior to being released electronically to the individual USGS district offices. Assessments and response actions at the USGS laboratory are described in the USGS laboratory Quality management system (Maloney, 2007). Field personnel are responsible for converting all raw values produced in the field into reportable values. The records of all data reduction calculations must be kept in the field notes or field notebook. Field personnel are responsible for entering their field data from field notes or notebooks and into the Missouri NWIS database under the supervision of the project quality assurance (QA) officer. All data are verified by printing a hard copy of all field information entered into the District NWIS (for example, water level, pH, temperature, specific conductance, discharge data, and field parameters) and comparing against raw data values obtained from field notes.

The laboratory analyst is responsible for converting all raw values produced in the laboratory into

reportable values. The records of all data reduction calculations must be kept on the appropriate laboratory work sheet. If the final values are not generated by direct-reading instruments or if a computer analyst performs all necessary data reduction of the raw data, the laboratory analyst is responsible for recording the final values on computer-generated laboratory work sheets. All strip charts and chromatograms must be labeled, dated, and initialed by the analyst performing the analysis. Each laboratory work sheet bears a unique run-ID number; this run-id number is part of a multiple index system used by the LIMS to identify the samples and constituents for an individual work sheet. The analyst also is responsible for verifying that reagent spikes, blanks, check standards, and duplicates were


23

within acceptable limits. If all QA samples are within acceptable limits, the analyst will submit the work sheets to the Automatic Data Processing Unit (ADP) where they are checked against the login request sheets, and the values are entered into the computer system. The ADP unit also scans the raw data and looks for anomalies before entering the data into the LIMS. The LIMS stores the data until all requested analyses are complete; the data are then transferred to the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS). The NWIS computer system performs a number of automatic verification checks before the data are released for electronic transfer to the district office. On receipt in the District, all the data are printed and checked for anomalies by the project QA officer.

On receipt in the district, the project manager and QA officer will review the laboratory data and

check for the proper entry of sample data and field measurements and look for anomalous values. A summary of data management for the project is provided below.

3.2 User Requirements If the data quality does not meet the requirements of the EPA project manager, the data may be

discarded and re-sampling must be done. If field or laboratory blanks contain detectable concentrations of common laboratory VOC contaminants (2-butanone, methylene chloride, or phthalate esters) or other compounds, sample results will be considered positive only if the reported concentrations in the sample exceeded three times the maximum quantity detected in the blank. Sample values less than this threshold


24

will be reported as E (estimated) by the USGS laboratory or “B” values by the contract laboratory. Validation of USGS contract laboratory data, if required, will be done by an outside USGS data validation contractor and results provided to the USGS project chief. The USGS project chief will determine proper resolution of issues or errors found during the data validation process.

The USGS will review and analyze the data. Analysis will include summary comparison of current

(2008) data to historic data collected during the RI. Exploratory data analysis will include an analysis of time trends (graphical) and trends between constituents (such as sodium and chloride, or constituent concentrations to specific conductance or water-level).

3.3 Deliverables

The USGS will provide the City of New Haven with a letter summarizing all field activities within 30

days after the collection of samples. After all data have been received and quality assured, a final USGS administrative letter report (2008 Environmental Monitoring Report) will be provided to the City of New Haven for submittal to the USEPA project manager. The report will provide a summary of field activities and summary tables of data obtained. Interpretation of values, where possible, also will be included. Significant Qa concerns, either with field procedures, field measurements, or analytical data will be discussed in the final report.

CALCULATIONS

ALKALINITY OR ANC (meq/L) = 1000 (B) (Ca) (CF) / Vs ALKALINITY (mg/L AS CaCO3) = 50044 (B) (Ca) (CF) / Vs

where:

B = volume of acid titrant added from the initial pH to the bicarbonate equivalence point (near pH 4.5), in milliliters. To convert from digital counts to milliliters, divide by 800 (1.00 mL = 800 counts)

Ca = concentration of acid titrant, in milliequivalents per milliliter (same as equivalents per liter, or N)

CF = Hach cartridge correction factor (default value is 1.01) [see OWQ WaQI Note 2005.02 for info]

Vs = volume of sample, in milliliters

For samples with pH ≤ 9.2: BICARBONATE (meq/L) = 1000 (B-2A) (Ca) (CF) / Vs

BICARBONATE (mg/L) = 61017 (B-2A) (Ca) (CF) / Vs

CARBONATE (meq/L) = 2000 (A) (Ca) (CF) / Vs CARBONATE (mg/L) = 60009 (A) (Ca) (CF) / Vs

where:

A = volume of acid titrant added from the initial pH to the carbonate equivalence point (near pH 8.3), in milliliters. To convert from digital counts to milliliters, divide by 800 (1.00 mL = 800 counts) NOTE: For samples with pH > 9.2, these equations for bicarbonate and carbonate will fail to give accurate results.
