f work. There will be no standalone submission of the PAR to NJDEP. The PA will be submitted to NJDEP with the Site Investigation Report (SIR). This task will also include the submission of the LSRP Retention Form via the NJDEP Online Portal. In accordance with the TRSR, the person responsible for conducting the remediation of a contaminated site is required to perform public notification and outreach. Matrix will post a Public Notification sign and submit a revised public notification form to the NJDEP. TASK 6: SITE INVESTIGATION (SI) ACTIVITES FOR 25 LAKESIDE AVENUE - DPW. The objective of an SI is to evaluate potential environmental AOCs identified during the PA that may have impacted site soils and/or groundwater. The SI will include the following tasks: Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and Health and Safety Plan (HASP) A QAPP and HASP will be prepared prior to the commencement of the Sl field activities. The QAPP will be prepared in accordance with requirements in the TRSR and following the NJDEP Quality Assurance Project Plan Technical Guidance. The site-specific HASP will be prepared in accordance with 29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1926 of the Federal OSHA regulations. Geophysical Investigation A non-intrusive geophysical subsurface investigation will be conducted using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), radio frequency, magnetic (MAG) and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical subsurface delineation techniques. The results of the geophysical investigation will be used to identify any previously unknown buried tanks, containers, vaults, and metallic anomalies, and to determine the location of soil borings. Soil Boring Installation To assess the potential impacts of the potential AOCs identified as part of the PA, the SI will include the installation of soil borings to a depth of approximately 20 feet below ground surface (ft., bgs) with soil samples collected at multiple depth intervals from the soil borings, if required. The samples will be analyzed for either TCL VOC+15, PAHs, TAL Metals, TCL/TAL+30 and/or EPH Category 1 or 2. All samples will be analyzed by a New Jersey certified laboratory on a standard turnaround time basis.

MATRIXNEWORLD Engineering Progress iB Projected costs include one two-day mobilization for the Site Investigation activities associated with the DPW Site. Groundwater Investigation Based on historic document review, petroleum and chlorinated VOC impacts to groundwater exist onsite. Matrix will collect a round of groundwater samples from the 10 on-site monitoring wells. The groundwater sampling will be completed via the low flow purge technique for FCL VOC+15 analysis. Based on mapped historic fill on the Site at least two of the monitoring wells will be analyzed for TCL/TAL+30. Water quality indicator parameters (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, conductivity, and ORP) will be monitored during the groundwater purging and sampling activities. For QA/QC purposes, one field blank, and one trip blank will also be collected. The groundwater samples and QA/QC samples will be analyzed for TCL VOC+15. All groundwater samples will be analyzed on a standard turnaround time basis by a New Jersey certified laboratory. In addition, Matrix will install up to five temporary well points to assess the potential impacts of the potential AOCs identified as part of the PA. One groundwater sample will be collected from each of the temporary well points and analyzed for either TCL VOC+15, PAHs, TAL Metals, and TCL/TAL+30 Appropriate QA/QC samples will also be collected. Samples will be submitted to a New Jersey certified laboratory to be analyzed on a standard turnaround time. Analytical results will be compared to the NJDEP GWQS TASK 7: SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT FOR 25 LAKESIDE AVENUE - DPW Following the receipt and evaluation of the soil and groundwater data, a SI Report and associated forms will be prepared and will summarize the results of the site investigation. The report will consist of figures, tables, conclusions, and recommendations. Following a review of the Draft Report by the Township of West Orange, comments will be incorporated to prepare a Final Site Investigation Report that will be submitted to NJDEP. The following forms may be required during the PA/SI: * Case Inventory Document (CID) « = PA/SI Form « Authorization to Submit a Report Through NJDEP Online ¢ Cover/Certification Form ¢ Updated Receptor Evaluation including well search spreadsheet e Public Notification Form CcosTS The following are the estimated costs for the tasks described herein to
