Supplemental investigation is needed to:

1) Further delineate PCE & daughter products (TCE,DCE, & VC) in A-aquifer within & around the FormerBuilding 88 & Traffic Island source areas

2) Confirm depth & lateral continuity of A/B-aquitard inTraffic Island Area

3) Verify depth to top of B2-aquifer in Traffic IslandArea

4) Confirm whether existing well W-88-1 is screened inB2-aquifer

5) Confirm whether B2-aquifer beneath Traffic IslandArea is impacted by COCs

Project Objectives

5

Phase 1 – Semi-quantitative ScreeningSurvey

To further assess the distribution of CEs andsoil lithology in the areas of interest

Phase 2 – Monitoring Well Installations &Sampling

To fill in data gaps of the current groundwatermonitoring well network

Cost and Performance Report for Tri-Service

SCAPS MIP, January , ERDC/EL TR-02-1

Membrane interface probe (MIP)/ Direct sample ion-trapmass spectrometer (DSITMS) detector System

Semi-quantitative COC concentration data(mg/L of calibration solution)

MIP data are only considered estimates(USACE, 2002)

Results by MIP system are relative & should beverified by soil and groundwater samples(EPA, 2012)

1) SCAPS results generally correlate well with historical data

2) MIP/DSITMS detections of PCE primarily in fine-grained sediments

3) Highest MIP/DSITMS detections of TCE & DCE primarily in fine-grained sediments

4) Vinyl chloride was not detected in any of the MIP/DSITMS samples

5) Fine-grained sediments acting as a continuing source of chemicals tothe groundwater

6) MIP/DSITMS responses are over 10-times higher than collocateddiscrete depth groundwater sample results

7) Discrete depth groundwater results are 10-times lower thanestimated effective solubility limits

8) Discrete depth soil results are over 10-times lower than estimatedsoil saturation concentrations
