Review of Action Items

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

Action Items

Dix MAG-1 (Site SS007) TCE plume:

Bioaugmentation system operated by CB&I

through Sep 2015

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

Determine the type, approximate density and distribution of MEC/MC

• DGM transect surveys spaced 150 ft apart and digitally mapped

• Follow-Up Focused Geophysical Surveys – DGM grid surveys (50 ft x 50 ft

anticipated) to evaluate the DGM transect results

Placed in high, medium, and low anomaly density areas

Three grids in each density type

Size and number based on DGM transect results

• Human Receptor Area Surveys – Full coverage DGM surveys around high use

areas where humans may come into contact with MEC

Accessible and unpaved portions of the military residential property encircling the 8

housing units at Colonial Plaza totaling 1.59 acres

Infield and outfield of the lighted ball field totaling 0.78 acres

• Intrusive Investigations

Targets selected from DGM dataset

Mag and dig surveys in areas inaccessible to DGM (5-ft width)

• MC sampling will be performed if evidence of MEC is observed

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

Determine the type, approximate density, and distribution of

MEC/MC

• DGM transects on 145-foot (ft) spacing (4.6 acres)

• Human Receptor Area Surveys – Full coverage digital geophysical

mapping (DGM) surveys around high use areas where humans may

come into contact with MEC

No work to be performed within hazardous fragmentation distance (HFD;

225 ft) of taxiways, runways or air traffic control tower

• Intrusive Investigations – Investigation of selected anomalies

Hand digging or mechanically assisted (only hand dig within 1 ft. of

anomaly)

• MC sampling will be performed (soil and sediment from drainage

ditch) if evidence of MEC is observed.

Biased samples 0-2 inches below identified MEC

Additional samples from areas where MD is identified as warranted

56“WIN AS ONE”

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

objects 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
