1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document summarizes the data quality objectives (DQOs) for each sampling and analysisprocess at the Drake Chemical Superfund Site. The DQOs were consolidated by the DQO Team todocument the data quality generated for each existing sampling and analysis process. The DQOTeam is comprised of the EPA Project Chemist, the EPA's designated Quality Assurancerepresentative, an Air Chemistry Specialist from the USAGE Center of Expertise (CE), theUSAGE'S designated Project Engineer and Project Chemist, and the Contractor's Project andQuality Control Managers. The DQO Team's ultimate objective is to provide recommendations, asnecessary and appropriate, to modify existing DQOs to ensure the quality of data generated fromthe sampling and analysis processes performed at the Drake Chemical Superfund Site.

1.1 DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION

Each of the following past, current, and on-going sampling and analysis processes is presented inthis document:

Perimeter Air Monitoring ProgramOff-Site Air Monitoring ProgramIncinerator Stack Emission TestingContinuous Emission Monitoring Stack Emission TestingIncineration Feed SoilsIncineration Bottom And Fly AshIncineration Stabilization AshIncineration Scrubber WaterWaste Water From The Treatment PlantDrum And Tank ContentsP-Naphthylamine Swype™ TestsIndustrial Hygiene Tests

The following sampling and analysis processes will be implemented in the future:

• Operational Phase Stack Testing(3-Naphthylamine By OSHA Method 93Storm Water Testing

DQOs will be established for these processes prior to implementation.

1.2 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVE PROCESS

The DQOs presented in this document were summarized using the process outlined in EPA's"Guidance for the Data Quality Objectives Process" (1994). The purpose of each of the sevenDQO steps is summarized from the EPA Guidance as follows:

Step 1 State the Problem: To define the problem so that the focus of the study will beunambiguous.

Step 2 Identify the Decision:" To define the decision statement that the study willattempt to resolve.

Step 3 Identify the Inputs to the Decision: To identify the informational inputs that willbe required to resolve the decision statement and determine which inputs requireenvironmental measurements.

1-1 Revised July 31, 1997AR3UU58

Step 4 Define the Boundaries of the Study: To define the spatial and temporalboundaries of the problem.

Step 5 Develop a Decision Rule: To define the parameter of interest, specify the actionlevel, and integrate previous DQO outputs into a single statement that describesa logical basis for choosing among alternative actions.

Step 6 Specify Tolerable Limits on Decision Errors: To specify the decision maker'stolerable limits on decision errors, which are used to establish performancegoals for the data collection design.

Step 7 Optimize the Design for Obtaining Data: To identify a resource-effective datacollection design for generating data that are expected to satisfy the DQOs.

The first six steps are summarized for each sampling and analysis process. The last step of theDQO process is the recommendations resulting from a review of the existing DQOs. Theserecommendations are provided in a separate submittal.

SECTION 2.0 PERIMETER AIR MONITORING PROGRAM

Information is documented, unless otherwise noted, in the Perimeter Air Monitoring Plan DraftRevision 2 which is pending review prior to submittal to the USAGE.

2.1 REAL TIME MONITORING

Analytical Method

NMOC/VOC - Method SOW1 (GC/PID)

State the Problem

An incineration project to destroy contaminants in soil is being conducted at the Drake Superfundsite. Site soil handling and operation of the TDF may impact the community.

Identify the Decision

Ambient air will be monitored to establish and document that significant levels of chemicalconstituents are not released due to site activities.

Inputs to the Decision

NMOC at <lppm on a 5 minute average. If NMOC is >lppm on a 5 minute average then theGC/PID speciates for three VOC's. The action levels are as follows:

Perimeter Action Levels = 10% of the OSHA PEL

Define the Study Boundaries

From start of project to close of project whenever operating the TDF and/or handling site soils.Monitoring to be performed at four stations strategically located at the perimeter of the site. Thefour stations are positioned to capture upwind and downwind scenarios.

Develop a Decision Rule

Alarm 1. If NMOC >lppm on a 5 minute average then the HNu 501 system speciates for threespecific VOC's.

Alarm 2. If speciated concentration(s) is/are above compound specific perimeter action levels thenHSM will document activities occurring in the exclustion zone at time of exceedence and conduct apreliminary investigation for potential causes and or sources. If all speciated net concentrations arebelow the perimeter action levels the investigation will cease.

AR 3 IW60 Revisedjuly31'1997

Alarm 3. If the speciated net concentration (difference between the compound specificconcentration at the alarm station and the designated upwind station based upon the meteorologicalconditions) is above compound specific perimeter action level then HSM will use a hand held PIDor OVA to identify potential sources and inform the area supervisors and HSS of the potentialsources. If the speciated net concentration is not below the action level within two hours, then theUSAGE will be notified verbally. If the probable source is off-site the USAGE will be notified,the investigation will stop, and NMOC monitoring will resume. If the speciated net concentrationis more than or equal to five times the action level, and the probable source is on-site, then OHMshall notify PADEP by telephone, and notify the USAGE verbally.

2. Field Quality Control:

Trip Blank: Consists of an absorbant cartridge, filter, or SUMMA cannister for each typeof analysis. These samples will remain sealed and will accompany the samples at alltimes. A trip blank will be used for not less than 5% of all samples shipped from and tothe contract lab.

Field Blank: Consists of a cartridge, filter, or SUMMA cannister which is handled like asample in the field, except for actual sample collection, and transported to the laboratoryfor analysis. One field blank will be collected for 5% of the sampling events.

3. QA Laboratory Limits:

A Quality Assurance Sample is collected during every other sampling event at one stationfor both semi-volatile organic compounds and TSP/Metals.

The USAGE QA Lab compares and reports data from the Contractor Lab with their data.Data comparisons are based on USAGE guidelines as provided in Appendix D ofUS ACE EM/200-1-6.


a. Spatial: Monitoring to be" performed at four stations strategically located at theperimeter of the site. The four stations are positioned to capture upwind anddownwind scenarios.


BR3UU65

b. Temporal: Background Air Monitoring: Background air monitoring was performed forvolatiles (Compendium Method TO-14), semi-volatiles (CompendiumMethod TO-13), metals (Federal Reference method) and particles. Thissampling was performed at one location in the support zone. The samplingcovered a 60 day period, with one 24-hour time-integrated sample beingtaken per week.

• 30-Day Start-up Sampling: At the start of "full scale excavation" a 30-day samplingprogram was performed. During this period, daily sampling was performed byCompendium Method TO-13 for semi-volatiles, by Federal Reference Method formetals and particles, and using an on-site gas chromatograph (HNu Model 501) fortargeted volatiles. Metals and semi-volatiles were collected in 8 and 24-hourintegrated samples during this period.

• One Year Sampling: For one year following the start-up sampling period, sampleshave been collected for SVOCs, metals, and TSP at a rate of twice per month for atotal of 24 events for year one.

• On-Going Sampling: After the first year of sampling, the sampling events will bereduced to once per month, for a total of twelve events per year.


1. Decisions based ,on Contract Lab QC results:

If the Contract Lab QC is outside of QC limits, then the Contract Lab should implementcorrective actions as appropriate and provide an explanation in the Case Narrative includingimpact and action required.

2. Decisions based on Contract Lab sample results:

If a single event sample result is greater than the annualized ATG value standards, then aninvestigation will be conducted to determine if the source was from on-site or off-siteactivities.

If a single event sample result is greater than the annualized ATG value standards and isdetermined to be caused by on-site activities, then the Annual ATG concentration (theaverage of results for a 12 month period) will be calculated and compared with the AnnualATG value.

3. Decisions based on QA Laboratory results:

If there are consistent minor or major discrepancies (as defined in Appendix D of USAGEEM/200-1-6) between the QA lab and the Contract Lab results, then the USAGE chemist ordesignee will recommend to the contracting officer that the contractor perform a review ofsample collection procedures and the laboratories perform a review of sample recovery,preparation, analysis, and reporting methods.

When the source of discrepancy is determined, then corrective actions will be implemented.


Specify Limits on the Decisions Errors

1. Sampling design: A minimum of four perimeter stations shall be installedaround the Drake Site. All monitoring stations will use thesame equipment. One station shall be placed representingthe typical upwind direction. Three identical stations will belocated at approximately 90° intervals around the site fromthe upwind station. Because the same equipment,procedures, and standards are used for each sampling eventand are equivalent to those required by the Federal Referencemethods and EPA's Compendium Methods, the reportedresults are considered to be internally comparable betweeneach sampling event, and externally comparable to resultsprovided by others who use the same methods. Ambientsamples are representative of the population based upon thelocation of the monitors as prescribed and specified in theUSAGE approved PASP and USAGE ContractSpecifications.

2. Analytical data: The Contract Laboratory performs three levels of datareview. Level 1 involves review of field and analytical datafor noticeably improbable data or relationships. Level 2involves review of chain-of-custody documentation and fieldand analytical processes that may negate the sampling event.Level 3 involves a statistical analysis of the data for outliers.

Contractor performs 100% verification of ContractLaboratory chain-of-custody documents and analyticalquality control results.

Field Blank: Consists of a cartridge, filter, or SUMMA canister which is handled like asample in the field, except for actual sample collection, and transported to the laboratoryfor analysis. One field blank will be collected for 5% of the sampling events.

3. QA Laboratory Limits

A Quality Assurance Sample is collected at the following frequency:

Volatile Organics - for each station, 1 duplicate sample every fourthsampling event

Semivolatile Organics - for each station, 1 duplicate sample every fourthsampling event

TSP/Metals- for each station, 1 duplicate sample every fourthsampling event

The USAGE QA Lab compares and reports data from the Contractor Lab with their data.Data comparisons are based on USAGE guidelines as provided in Appendix D ofUSAGE EM/200-1-6.


a. Spatial: Monitoring to be performed at four stations located in the community with-in a five mile radius of the site. The four stations are positioned to captureupwind and downwind scenarios.

b. Temporal: Background Monitoring: Up to six months prior to start up the incinerationoperation phase, 24 hour sample every sixth day from the four samplinglocations.

On-Going Sampling: From start-up to end of incinerator operations.


1. Decisions based on Contract Lab QC results :

If the Contract Lab QC is outside of QC limits, then the Contract Lab should implementcorrective actions as appropriate and provide an explanation in the Case Narrative includingimpact and action required.

2. Sampling design: Four off-site stations were installed with-in a five mile radiusof the community surrounding the Drake Site. Allmonitoring stations use the same equipment. Because thesame equipment, procedures, and standards are used foreach sampling event and are equivalent to those required bythe Federal Reference methods and EPA's CompendiumMethods, the reported results are considered to be internallycomparable between each sampling event, and externallycomparable to results provided by others who use the samemethods. Ambient samples are representative of thepopulation based upon the location of the monitors asprescribed and specified in the USAGE approved OSAMPand USAGE Contract Specifications.


3. Analytical data: The Contract Laboratory performs three levels of datareview. Level 1 involves review of field and analytical datafor noticeably improbable data or relationships. Level 2involves review of chain-of-custody documentation and fieldand analytical processes that may negate the sampling event.Level 3 involves a statistical analysis of the data for outliers.

Contractor performs 100% verification of ContractLaboratory chain-of-custody documents and analyticalquality control results.

State the Problem

An incineration project to destroy contaminates in soil is being conducted at the DrakeSuperfund site. Operation of the TDF may potentially release organic and inorganicconstituents.


In general, stack emissions are being tested for public safety and State compliance. Stackemissions were tested to provide emission constituents as a function of feed and operatingconditions for the risk and trial bums in order to verify compliance with PADEP Air QualityEquivalency Document. For the Risk Burn Phase, stack emission concentrations were used asinputs into the risk assessment.

Field duplicates are collected at a frequency of 10%. RPD limits are not documentedbecause the feed soil is a non standard matrix and an insufficient number of samples havebeen supplied to the laboratory to establish QC limits.


A Quality Assurance Sample is collected at a frequency of 10% of the ContractLaboratory samples. A sample is collected, homogenized, ajid split. One of the splitsamples is sent to the Contract Laboratory and the other is sent to the QA lab.

The USAGE QA Lab compares and reports data from the Contractor Lab with their data.Data comparisons are based on USAGE guidelines as provided in Appendix D ofUSAGE EM/200-1-6.


Spatial: Site soils with-in the 9.63 acres of the site to an elevation of 545 msl.

Temporal: 24 hour composite sample (one grab sample per hour for 24 hours) when theThermal Destruction Facility is operating. The TDF will operate until site soils havebeen remediated.


1. Decisions based on Contract Lab QC:

If the Contract Lab QC is outside of QC limits, then the Contract Lab should implementcorrective actions as appropriate and provide an explanation in the Case Narrativeincluding impact and action required.


If the heavy metals or chlorine concentrations are greater than the PADEP MaximumAllowable Concentration, then a pre-feed program will be established to analyze feed soilsprior to TDF processing. If results from the pre-feed program are greater than the PADEPMaximum Allowable Concentration, then the feed soils will be mixed, sampled andanalyzed a second time. This decision rule has not been documented in any of the plans.

2. Field QC Limits:

Field duplicates are collected at a frequency of 10%. RPD limits are not documentedbecause ash is a nonstandard matrix and an insufficient number of samples have beensupplied to the laboratory to establish QC limits.

3. QA Laboratory Control Limits

A Quality Assurance Sample is collected at a frequency of 10% of the contract labsamples. A sample is collected, homogenized, and split. One of the split samples is sentto the contract lab and the other is sent to the QA lab.

The USAGE QA Lab compares data from the Contract Laboratory with their data. Datacomparisons are based on Appendix D of USAGE EM/200-1-6.



Temporal: 24 hour composite bottom ash sample when the Thermal Destruction Facility isoperating. A fly ash composite sample is collected when a storage bin is full. TheTDF will operate until site soils have been remediated.






A. If the bottom or fly ash metal results are less than or equal to the DWS and organicresults are less than or equal to the on-site disposal criteria, then the ash can bebackfilled above elevation 547' msl.

B. If the bottom or fly ash metal results are less than or equal to 25 X DWS andorganic results are less than or equal to on-site disposal criteria, then the ash can bebackfilled above elevation 553' msl (if available). If an area above elevation 553'msl is not available, then the ash can be blended with ash containing metals less orequal to the DWS (if available) and re-analyzed for TCLP metals or the ash can bemixed with a stabilizing agent and re-analyzed for TCLP metals.

C. If the bottom or fly ash organic results are greater than on-site disposal criteria, thenthe ash will require additional thermal treatment.

D. If the bottom or fly ash metal results are greater than or equal to 25 X DWS andorganic results are less than or equal to on-site disposal criteria, then the ash mustbe stabilized prior to backfilling on site. Section 8.0 discusses DQOs forstabiliation ash.





1. Sampling design: Because the same equipment, procedures, and standards are usedfor each sampling event and are equivalent to those required by theFederal Reference methods, the reported results are considered to beinternally comparable between each sampling event and externallycomparable to results provided by others who use the samemethods.

2. Analytical data: Contractor performs 100% verification of Contract Laboratorychain-of-custody documents and analytical quality control results.

If the Contract Lab QC is outside of QC limits, then the Contract Lab should implementcorrective actions as appropriate and provide an explanation in the Case Narrative.


If the contract lab sample results are outside of the NPDES Permit "maximum daily" limits,then OHM will orally report the non-compliance to PADEP within 24 hours from receipt ofresults and with-in 5 days a written submission (unless this requirement is waived byPADEP upon receipt of the oral report). PADEP may notify the contractor to cease thedischarge and control the clean-up operation such that discharge is not necessary untilfurther notice to proceed is given by the PADEP.

If the contract lab "breakthrough" results trend towards the NPDES Permit "instantaneousmaximum" limits, then OHM will increase the frequency of "breakthrough" sampling.When these results become greater than the NPDES Permit "instantaneous maximum"limits, the front half carbon unit will be replaced.

11-5 Re vised July 31, 1997AR3U5I8

The USAGE QA Lab compares are reports data from the Contract Laboratory withtheir data. Data comparixons are based on Appendix D of USAGE EM/200-1-6.


Spatial: The 9.63 acres of the Drake Chemical Superfund Site.

Temporal: From the commencement of excavation activities until completion of excavationactivities.





Drums and tanks with similar physical characteristics will be staged together and acompatability test performed in the field.

If the compatibility test is performed without reaction, then the associated drum and/or tankcontents will be bulked together and one representative sample for TCLP Characterizationwill be collected and analyzed. If the compatibility test is performed with reaction, then theassociated drum and/or tank contents will be staged separatley and a sample for TCLPcharacterization will be collected and analyzed from each drum and/or tank.





1. Sample design: Because the same equipment, procedures, and standards areused for each sampling event and are equivalent to thoserequired by the Federal Reference methods, the reportedresults are considered to be internally comparable betweeneach sampling event and externally comparable to resultsprovided by others who use the same methods.

SECTION 12.0 P-NAPHTHYLAMINE SWYPE™ TESTS

Information is documented in the Chemical Quality Management Sampling Plan, the Site Safetyand Health Plan, and the May 1996 Revised Contract Specifications.

Analytical Methods

Field analysis by Swype™ test kit.

State the Problem

An incineration project to destroy contaminants in soil is being conducted at the Drake Superfundsite. Equipment, materials, tools, and people may be exposed to p-naphthylamine.


A. Surface Swypes™ for Equipment and Other Surfaces - After decontamination the surfacesof equipment, materials, and tools are tested for the presence of BNA as they exit theexclusion zone to certify decontamination.

B. Permea-Tec™ Breakthrough Indicators - The inner PPE glove surface is tested for thepresence of BNA to verify that PPE is providing proper protection against permeation.

C. Skin Swypes™ - The skin surface of people is tested for the presence of BNA to determinethe effectiveness of PPE against permeation and the effectiveness of hand/face washing.


Initially both decontamination rinsate and swype samples were collected from the same location ondecontaminated surfaces. The rinsate was analyzed for semi-volatiles, volatiles, BNA, totalmetals, and Fenac. The Swype™ samples were field analyzed for BNA. The purpose ofcollecting two different types of decontaminated material samples was to demonstrate a correlationbetween the results of the two sample types. The decontamination rinsate samples did not haveany levels above the PQL for semi-volatiles, volatiles, BNA, total metals, and Fenac. TheSwype™ field samples showed non-detectable levels of BNA. Therefore, BNA is used asindicator compound for other site contaminants and is tested for using the field Swype™ test kit.

A purple color indicates positive detection of BNA contamination at a concentration of at least 5micrograms per Swype . For applications of over 20 micrograms, the color goes from purple topurple-orange. Any samples which do not become discolored will be considered non-detectable.Quality control is performed on Swype Pads by performing the test on a surrogate solution(sulfanilic acid 80 mg). The quality control frequency is one per packet of 25 Swypes .



Temporal: A. Surface Swypes™ for Equipment and Other Surfaces will be performedafter decontamination on each piece of equipment exiting the exclusionzone. For equipment or tools routinely going in and out of the exclusionzone, representative surfaces will be swyped once per week or as required.

12-1 Revised July 31, 1997A.R3U520

B. Pennea-Tec™ Breakthrough Indicators will be performed once per week onindividuals representing the different areas of work with-in the exclusionzone (i.e. excavation, wastewater treatment, deconning).

C. Skin Swypes™ will be performed once per week on individualsrepresenting the different areas of work with-in the exclusion zone (i.e.excavation, wastewater treatment, deconning).


If results are positive, then the situation is investigated. If deemed appropriate, structures and/orequipment may be decontaminated, PPE may be upgraded, and/or there may be a change induration of personnel in the area where positive results were detected.


Because the same procedures and standards are used for each sampling event the reported resultsare considered to be comparable between each sampling event. Swype™ testing results arerepresentative of the population based on the sampling frequency.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES TEAMDRAKE CHEMICAL SUPERFUND SITE

These recommendations have been generated upon review of existing sampling andanalysis process data quality objectives (DQOs).

1. A review of the chemical data quality criteria against the reference methods isrecommended to ensure that established DQOs meet (as stringent or more stringentthan) method requirements.

2. It is recommended that OHM verify MRI's three-level data evaluation.

3. The data produced from the perimeter and off-site air monitoring programs shouldundergo EPA Level m review against the established DQOs. Data should be flaggedas deemed necessary using the established DQOs and National Functional Guidelineflags. The USAGE or designee should perform the review; 100 percent of the datashould undergo EPA Level in data validation. Ten percent of the data shouldundergo EPA Level IV data validation.

4. The monthly off-site air monitoring reports currently provide statistical evaluations ofthe data produced during the reporting month. Since the first year of off-site airmonitoring data was collected when the Thermal Destruction Facility (TDF) was notin operation (except during the trial and risk burns), this data should be consideredbackground data. It is recommended that this background data undergo a separatestatistical evaluation. When the TDF is in operation, it is recommended that themonthly reports provide cumulative statistics using all non-background data collectedprior to and including the reporting month.

5. The off-site air monitoring reports currently compare results for 2,3,7,8-TCDDagainst the Pennsylvania Annual ATG value. It is recommended that the toxicequivalent quotient (TEQ), the cumulative concentration for 2,3,7,8-TCDD usingtoxicity equivalency factors (TEFs), be compare to the Pennsylvania Annual ATGvalue.

6. It is recommended to eliminate all but the physical parameters and metal constituentsfrom feed sample collection and analysis. (We need to provide rationale, and weneed to provide a statement indicating how many samples during this period havebeen collected thus far.)

7. It is recommended that 100 percent of the data generated from the ash sampleanalyses undergo Level ffl validation.

8. It is recommended that the Contract Laboratory report to the thousand's place forwaste water samples collected from the on-site Waste Water Treatment Plant. This isrequested in order to compare reported concentrations to the action levels specified inthe PADEP NPDES Permit Equivalency Document.

9. It is recommended to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or semivolatileorganic compounds (S VOCs) from the scrubber water sampling and analysis processbecause it has been established that neither VOCs or S VOCs have been detected in

AR3U533

samples collected thus far. (We need to provide a statement indicating how manysamples, over what period, have been collected thus far.)

10. The perimeter air monitoring and off-site air monitoring reports currently documentthe average surrogate recoveries and average concentrations detected in method blanksamples. It is recommended that summary tables for all field and field quality controlsamples and laboratory quality control results be reported in the monthly reports.

11. It is recommended that the control limits for p-naphthylamine and FENAC bemodified using results of samples collected thus far.

In addition, it was suggested that we eliminate analysis and reporting of selected targetcompounds from the perimeter (and off-site?) air monitoring program. A statisticalevaluation of data and comparison to background values needs to be performed andpresented to justify elimination of target compounds.
