Drilling af w e n werburden holes i3 installdon d pierornetem, purging & sample odleetion

Dear P.J.,

and rstentlon p n d on the taft bank ofthe rivw. VW havs now instatled P t a l of elwen piarometem to varioua dew in the wsrburden dewb. The area covered by brilrq is approximately 140m by I N m , which indudes the area m d for the retention pond and part of the primary wetland The plamwt%m are in plrs at bation@ 3 ,4 and 8 and a maximum de@h of ten metree was drClled at BMD and BMD. BHSD and BH5 met fdwal at 6.0metres in tcme mrs8 gravel and could not be Qilled to IoPnSbes. Bedrock was rrot encountered at any location. Drilling I- and phmeter WaILs are 8 h in Appendix A a m d . All of the naw piezometers have been cwnptetad a ductile Iron frame and ewer d p u n d level Mth thsir locations marked using w d e n stakss. The pairs of piezometers at I d o n s 3, 4 smlS allm monttonng d groundwater levels at two dMerent teve at M three lomtona Lowtiom 3 and 4 are dose to the rlvar, whsrsss locations 5 and 8 are some 8[kn&cs from the river.

Ai de- at dl d the drilling lWm at depth (and blw the peat) are uniformly light grey in colour.

It is noted that the depdts encountered in the mm of the deepest hola (BH40 and BHBD) were depasM either by river w lake water (allwid 01 hrretrine). Thma I m r in buth Ides compiw a sequence of vary sdk light gray day layers, Interspsmd horizons of sand and some vegetation. Thesa seem to represent mn annual m i t l o n aeqmm in Hmat w e moStty MM water cwxhm, dNng ttre settlement of the day. Such &@tion 1s normalty ass4ciated with lake dwts wlwe still waters condition$ are more common than in river emironmenb.

Appendix B P- a gedoglcsl c r m -on d tha vdley. The section is m Strletty correct kcause the piwornetera show do not all lie along a sirqte s d o n line, but have been projectad onto the d o n line. Hmwer, the section BBWBO to illustrate the variation in overkrrdm depmils that are preewrt.

Water level data recorded to date are s h m in Appendiac C. It should b noted that the levels are to an arbitrary datum hause the piezometsrs have not ben r e d d to Ordnance Oaturn. The deto i n w e that there are relWely small dIWef0ncse in hemd in the vafiipus mib bvl that may be a slight upward gradient at lomliorrs 3, 4 and 8.

Water sam@es have been Wen from all of the piezomebm at le& once and the results of analyss are o h m in Appendix 0 Thm samples have lxlw b e n hken from BHZ and elenrated concen€retions of ammonia, COD, conducthrity, iron and mtmgpinese are &med. Elevated concentrations of ammonia have also been reported #or B W and BWD, which both monitor soft gey day and davated concentrstiorm of COO, iron and manganm have ben reported from W6S bR these may be natural occurrenw. Other results indcate natwid unmntaminaWl grou-r.

It i proposed that the -and dwelopmsnt w l d h a constructed on the esristlng ground surface so that there would be no exmation into the natural ground formatiom. Having drilled to a depth of 1 Omebes, there wwld therefore be an overburden thickness d at l e a IOrnetrem beneath the dwdopment, Elverlying bedmk The goundwter vulnerability rnapplng guidelines for IrelarK1 (*GrouncWtef Protecbion Schemes", De@+ of Em. 8 L c d Gov. / EPA I GSI, ISSa) st&8 that a Icm vlrlnerabilrty rating appliw vvhen there IB a lrrw permeabiirty s u M l thickmm greatw than 10mtres and that a moderate vulnerability rating applies when there is a moderate permeatili wt#oil tMu~ees greeter than l he t~es . At 1 d m 4 and 8 it has ben detemlined that sand and grave4 are present kR that they are overlain by peat and underldn & day of unknown thickness, M c h both have low permeability. R i5 therefore conduded that bdrock beneath the site b at most moderately vrlnmtili i , but more pobabty has lcrw vulnedti i to wntalrination from the surface. The propw4d development rmuld incoprab m e m w to b r vulneraIili further, such 85 the creaflon d a low permeability base to the pon& md vllelland, thwefore it is conduded that the development wuld pose no contarnindon risk to the environment.

Yours sincerely,
