Receipt of Pump Station 1 2007 Former Baseline Shop Contamination Assessment Report. Eight borings were advanced to address historic contamination and attempt to delineate to the extent practical. Soil samples did not contain contaminants greater than the most conservative of arctic zone cleanup levels. Two monitoring wells were installed but only MW-2 contained sufficient water for sample collection. GRO, DRO, and RRO results were 1.84, 12.7, and 2.09 mg/L respectively. VOCs were detected but not above Table C levels. Groundwater monitoring will continue in 2008. Review of report including lab QA/QC conducted 3/25/08. |

Date of receipt of Pump Station 1 Former Baseline Shop 2008 Ground Water Monitoring Report by SLR. Two monitoring wells were sampled. DRO/RRO above Table C. Cleanup criteria for 1,2,3-dichloropropane lowered with new regs released recently. This compound was reported in MW-2 below the PQL (considered estimated) and above the current Table C level. PQL greater than current Table C level. Monitoring to continue in 2009. |

Review of Pump Station 1 Former Basline (Shop) 2009 Groundwater Monitoring Report. Two wells were sampled for GRO/DRO/RRO and VOCs in July 2009. Both wells had DRO/RRO above Table C and MW-1 had GRO above Table C. MW-2 also had methylene chloride above Table C. Several issues with lab analysis of VOCs were determined to not have a significant impact on data usability. |

Date of receipt of 2011 Groundwater Monitoring report. Two wells were sampled and both wells contained DRO and RRO above groundwater cleanup levels. Review included laboratory data review checklist. Followup being conducted via email regarding LOQs not meeting cleanup levels for 1,2,3-trichloropropane and EDB. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
2012 Work Plan approved for conducting soil borings, soil sampling, installing and sampling new monitoring wells. Commented on potential site closure. DRO remains approx 40x higher than ADEC cleanup levels, GRO is near cleanup levels and largely static, and RRO is 4-6x higher than cleanup levels. Data for other analytes (1,2,3-trichloropropane and Methylene chloride) were elevated but may represent sample "noise" due to lack of repeatability. Compare to levels next time. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
SLR installed, developed and sampled 4x new monitoring wells (MWs 3,4,5,6) in 2012 for a total of six MWs onsite. Water samples were collected on 1 Aug (one day after the wells were installed). MWs 1,2,4,& 5 exceeded ADEC cleanup levels for DRO, but concentrations in MW-1 were roughly 1/3 of their previous concentration a year prior. The DRO concentration in MW-2 was reduced by a factor of 2.1. This drastic reduction may reflect a greater than expected radius of influence from the sulfate injection pilot study that was conducted approximately 380 ft. to the south southeast. Alternatively, external factors may have affected sample results this year. Future results will help to resolve this uncertainty.
Maximum DRO concentrations were noted in MWs 1,2,4,& 5 with concentrations of 18.6, 14.8, 1.88, and 1.96 mg/L, respectively. No other exceedances were noted.
ADEC requested for VOCs to be sampled by EPA Method 504.1 before entertaining a closure request to confirm that 1,2,3-Trichloropropane and 1,2-Dibromoethane are below regulatory criteria. Limits of detection are above regulatory criteria using EPA Method 8260B. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
On this date, ADEC received the 2013 Groundwater Monitoring Report PS 1 Former Baseline Shop submitted by SLR dated December 31, 2013. Groundwater samples were collected from MW-1 to MW-6, in the vicinity of the former baseline shop. All the samples were analyzed for SW8260B and USEPA 504.1. The detection limit for the compound 1,2,3-trichloropropane, analyzed by method SW8260B, was 0.00062 mg/L, which is above the Table C groundwater cleanup level of 0.00012 mg/L. MW-1, MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5 contained DRO up to 31.5 mg/L. MW-1, MW-2, and MW-5 contained RRO up to 2.4 mg/L. PCE was detected in MW-4 at 0.00579 mg/L The GW gradient at the Former Baseline is relatively flat, with a trend towards the south. The 2013 GW elevations were from 1.17 to 1.40 feet higher than in 2012. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
On this date, ADEC received the 2014 Groundwater Monitoring Report PS 1 Former Baseline Shop submitted by SLR dated December 2014. Groundwater samples were collected from MW-1 to MW-6, in the vicinity of the former baseline shop. Method 504.1 results for EDB and 1,2,3-trichloropropane contain a low bias due the temp blank received by the Network Denver lab at a temp of 12.8 C. MW-3 did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. MW-1, MW-2, MW-4, MW-5, and MW-6 contained detectable concentrations of DRO up to 19.3 mg/L. MW-1, MW-2, MW-5, and MW-6 contained detectable concentration of RRO up to 1.61 mg/L. PCE was only detected in MW-2 and MW-4 at 0.0011 mg/L and 0.00646 mg/L respectively. The GW gradient at the Former Baseline is relatively flat, with a trend toward the southwest then to the south. The 2014 GW elevations were from 0.58 to 1.72 feet lower than in 2013. |
