• Mr. Curtis Frye, P.E.

Chief, Environmental Restoration Program AFCEC/CZOE Review of Action Items

3

Action Items

 "Provide assessment of impacts of NJNG pipeline

project on Environmental Restoration Program"

 Mr. Tamn requested a summary of the amounts of

vitamins, supplements, and microbes that were dispersed into the Dix MAG-1 Area under the CB&I contract

4

Action Items

 NJNG pipeline: Assessment of ERP impacts

 A portion of the proposed pipeline layout traverses

a delineated CERCLA site at Lakehurst

• Areas I and J groundwater

 The pipeline would not impact the ERP site

• Pipeline will be placed at or above the water table
• Groundwater contamination in the location of the pipeline

is located in deep wells 40 to 70 feet below the ground surface

• Therefore, pipeline would not penetrate the groundwater

contaminant plume

• Pipeline does not conflict with the approved Record of

Decision for Areas I and J groundwater

5

Action Items

 Dix MAG-1 (Site SS007) TCE plume:  Bioaugmentation system operated by CB&I

through Sep 2015

 One injection period of the Shaw Dechlorinating

Consortium 9 (SDC-9) culture occurred from December 3-14, 2012. During this period a total 498 liters of SDC- 9 were added to the Kirkwood Zone and 212 liters to the Manasquan Zone

 Remedial Action Operations and Maintenance Quarterly

Report and Task Order Summary Report, Oct 2015, provided to Mr. Tamn on 9 November 2015

 Includes table summarizing quantities of injected

amendments

JB MDL MMRP

 The MMRP was established in 2002 and follows

the CERCLA process. The program was implemented to address unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions and munitions components on current and former military installations.

• At McGuire and Lakehurst, the MMRP sites are

managed as NPL sites

• At Dix, the MMRP sites are managed as non-

NPL

 XRF Sampling for Lead

• Type 1: Soils along and outside of the boundaries of known lead-impacted soil

established during the 2012 Final CSE (investigated to delineate vertically and horizontally for lead).

• Type 2: Soils within the boundaries of known lead-impacted soil established during the

2012 Final CSE report, where lead was encountered above 90 mg/kg from 0 to 6 inches below ground surface (bgs) but no sample was collected from 6 to 12 inches bgs (investigated to delineate vertically for lead)

• Type 3: Soils within the boundaries of known lead-impacted soil established during the

2012 Final CSE report, where lead was encountered above 90 mg/kg from 0 to 12 inches bgs, but no sample was collected from 12 to 18 inches bgs (investigated to delineate vertically for lead).

 Lead Analysis

• 10% will be sent of XRF to a fixed-base laboratory for correlation analysis
• PAH samples will be collected from the areas where clay pigeon debris is observed
• Additional samples collected in order to vertically and horizontally delineate area of

contamination

Lakehurst MALRE Site Current Effort

 Perform geophysical survey across the MRS to locate anomalies

representing suspect anchor system locations where C4 may have been detonated

• Full coverage magnetometry survey to detect subsurface metallic
• bjects like a rod or hook
• Full coverage ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey to determine if

the anomaly is an anchor system location

• GPR will identify concrete masses below ground surface
• GPR surveys will be performed to identify detonation locations that were

refilled with material or different soil compositions

• If an anomalous area is identified during the GPR survey, a minimum of

three perpendicular profiles will be collected to evaluate and delineate the potential anchor system location three dimensionally

• If anchors are identified, borings will be placed around them and

sampled at depth horizons of 0-1, 4-6, 6-8, and 8-10 ft bgs
