Data Presentation
-
Groundwater and soil summary tables
Conceptual Model: Groundwater Contamination
-
Description of dissolved phase groundwater plume transport mechanisms, migration pathways and degradation pathways
-
Description of known or suspected sources of the contaminants detected in the groundwater (i.e., soil contamination, free product, waste storage areas, AST/UST systems, unreported discharges, etc.)
-
Groundwater contaminant concentration contours on the site plan and geologic cross-section(s) depicting lateral and vertical extent of representative contaminants exceeding standards.
-
Discussion of contaminants that are considered outliers or have no identified source. Provide data to substantiate off-site source claims.
-
Estimate of the mass of contaminated groundwater exceeding cleanup standards
-
Potential receptor map identifying and locating receptors within 1,000’ and list of water supply wells
Conceptual Model: Soil Contamination
-
Soil contaminant concentration contours on the site plan and geologic cross-section(s) depicting the lateral and vertical extent of representative contaminants exceeding cleanup standards
-
The estimated mass/volume of contaminated soil exceeding cleanup standards (not required if a source area is not present).
Conceptual Model: Indoor Vapor Intrusion
-
Identify, describe and explain potential pathways for indoor vapor intrusion, identify any exceedences, soil vapor monitoring or indoor air screening results (PID/FID meter readings), and provide recommendations for additional vapor intrusion study.
-
If pathway is complete and vapor intrusion is identified, provide indoor air monitoring results with comparison to standards and proposed abatement measures.
Remedial Alternatives & Recommendations
-
The Geotechnical Report must include either a, b, c or d and, if AGQS is exceeded, a GMZ depiction.
-
a. Closure recommended: Describe how site conditions meet closure requirements.
-
b. Recommendations for additional investigations and/or initial response actions: This shall include the steps necessary to finalize the groundwater management zone boundary and delineate source areas. Show all proposed explorations and sampling locations on a site plan.
-
c. Provide a preliminary screening of remedial alternatives: Including a description of the recommended remedial action and steps necessary to implement the recommended remedial action.
-
d. Interim response actions or presumptive remedy.
-
e. Preliminary GMZ boundary depiction.
