Township Council Meeting — Packet

for TCL VOCs and TBA. One (1) field blank sample will also be collected each day of field activities. The blanks will be handled and transported in the same manner and analyzed for the same parameters as the samples collected that day. If groundwater contamination is delineated, additional groundwater sampling may be performed to evaluate compliance with remediation standards and determine if natural attenuation and CEA can be used as the groundwater remedial action at the Site; costs of the additional sampling are not included in this proposal. If groundwater contamination is not delineated, additional monitoring wells and sampling will be required; costs is not included in this proposal.

Recently, a contaminated Area of Concern (AOC) was identified at the Site (Salt Dome), the most recent groundwater analytical results confirmed a discharge at the Salt Dome as an additional impacted AOC which has to be investigated and remediated in accordance with the NJDEP Regulations and Guidance. Additional remedial investigation activities should be completed to delineate the exceedances of Metals associated with the Salt Dome discharge and identify the extent of this discharge. The additional work required to investigate the new AOC is not included in the original proposal. A review of the groundwater sampling documents and results at the Site and the off-site adjacent property Former Barton Press, it appeared that historical results for metals analysis showed exceedances for sodium at some of the Former Barton Press wells, located both in the upgradient and downgradient of the AOC source area (Salt Dome). The investigation at the off-site adjacent property (Former Barton Press) is required to complete the groundwater delineation/groundwater remedial investigation at the DPW Site. The additional work required to investigate the new AOC includes installation of two additional monitoring wells and conducting groundwater sampling at selected wells at the Former Barton Press property and the DPW property for the analysis of Metals at the same time for comparison. The following scope of work is required to comply with the NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation at the Site and necessary to continue to advance the project towards closure.
