About this file
This document is a Fourth Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Event Report for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) at Operable Units OU-1, OU-2, and OU-3 located in Tuba City, Arizona. The report details groundwater monitoring activities conducted under Contract No. 140A0921P0006, focusing on petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from historical releases at former heating plant and motor vehicle facilities. Key findings include impacts to groundwater across multiple operable units, with five naphthalene exceedances of the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency (NNEPA) Water Cleanup Standards, scattered diesel-range organic (DRO) detections, and the presence of liquid-phase hydrocarbons in some monitoring wells.
The report recommends continuing semi-annual groundwater monitoring in 2023, removing non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) layers from specific monitoring wells, reducing the groundwater monitoring well network by abandoning dry wells, and performing maintenance on remaining flush-mount wells. Previous remediation efforts have included excavation of approximately 7,500 cubic yards of petroleum-impacted soils from OU-2 in 2015-2016, removal of approximately 7,000 gallons of liquid-phase hydrocarbons, and bio-injection treatment using custom blend nitrate fertilizer, surfactants, and hydrocarbon-degrading consortium in 2017. The site is located near the intersection of Oak Street and Edgewater Drive, with groundwater found in the Navajo Sandstone aquifer at depths between 5.64 and 12.27 feet below well casings.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Navajo Region Office has requested, under Contract
No. 140A0921P0006, the performance of semi-annual groundwater monitoring and sampling at the Operable Units OU-1 through OU-3 located in Tuba City, Arizona in accordance with the Work Plan and Health and Safety Plan dated April 2, 2021.
1.1 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of this effort was to:
Monitor depth to groundwater and the presence or absence of free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons in existing monitoring and remediation wells. A total of 65 wells were evaluated for this effort; and, Obtain representative samples of groundwater from the subject monitoring and remediation wells for analysis of petroleum-related hydrocarbons and select natural attenuation monitoring parameters.
After completing the activities referenced above, the intent of the contract effort was to:
Evaluate any changes in contaminant plume concentration in monitoring and remediation well locations based on previous analytical data; and, Make recommendations regarding the need to perform additional remedial actions.
1.2 Site History
According to available background information, including a Feasibility Study report dated September 8, 2000 by Geotechnical and Environmental Consultants, Inc. (GEC), a heating plant facility formerly located within OU-2, utilized heating oil (e.g., diesel) as a fuel source. The oil was stored in two (2) 50,000-gallon above ground storage tanks
(ASTs) that were located immediately southeast of the boiler building.
In 1999, a boiler explosion occurred at the heating plant. This incident was identified as the expected cause of damage to the underground boiler system oil supply lines and the resulting release of an unknown amount of heating oil to the subsurface. Immediate and initial site characterization efforts included the installation of 39 groundwater monitoring wells and 11 extraction wells. The initial site characterization efforts focused on OU-2 area, but later expanded to OU-1 due to the related historical presence of an underground storage tank (UST) associated with the former Tuba City Motors facility and the finding of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater samples obtained from monitoring wells upgradient of OU-2.
Area OU-3 was also investigated as the area is located downgradient of both OU-1 and
OU-2 and due to potential releases associated with the exterior storage of drums containing used petroleum products and ASTs.
The identified potential release sources, including the USTs at OU-1, the two ASTs, and subsurface piping at OU-2 have since been removed. The ASTs and drums of motor oil in OU-3 had been previously removed. In OU-3, during May through June 2018, Envirotech, Inc. (Envirotech) of Farmington, New Mexico, was contracted by Cherokee
CRC, LLC (CCRC) to excavate petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil (PCS) from the subsurface of the OU-2 and OU-3 facilities; design and install a horizontal injection well network. Envirotech completed the excavation and stockpiling of approximately
6,440 cubic yards (CY) of over burden soil (0 to 9 feet below ground surface [bgs]) at the OU-3 facility and the excavation and disposal of approximately 2,808 cubic yards of
PCS from OU-3 facility from approximate depths of 9 to 12 feet bgs. The PCS was transported by Envirotech and disposed at Contract Environmental Services (CES) land farm near Aneth, Utah, and Envirotech’s soil remediation facility, Landform #3, located near Hilltop, New Mexico. During the remedial excavation, asbestos-containing materials were identified and a cease work order was initiated by BIA. Within the base of the excavation, a bio-remediation injection piping system was installed for planned future use. The piping system was backfilled with approximately 360 tons of ¾-inch crushed gravel. The remaining excavation was left unfilled. This area remained as an open excavation at the time of the fall 2019 sampling event and has since been backfilled to grade. Several monitoring wells located within the excavation area (e.g., MW-209 through MW-213) were not abandoned or replaced. During the fall 2020 sampling, well MW-210 was found to be dry, having been filled with several feet of soil relative to its expected depth apparently due to backfilling of this area.
Approximately 7,000 gallons of liquid-phase hydrocarbons (LHC), or heating oil, and dissolved-phase liquids were reportedly recovered during the remedial actions at OU-2.
A groundwater monitoring report, prepared by TerraNext, Inc. (TerraNext) in 2011, indicated that LHC (0.1-foot apparent thickness) was present in monitoring well MW-20, located southeast and directly downgradient from OU-2. Groundwater monitoring results also indicated petroleum constituents were present in groundwater at OU-3 to the east.
The site-wide results suggested multiple petroleum releases November-December 2018 have occurred at locations within OU-1, OU-2, and OU-3.
Concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) were slightly above U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Preliminary Remediation Goals
(PRGs), now called Regional Screening Levels (RSLs), for groundwater ingestion
(TerraNext, 2011). In 2016, approximately 1,760 CY of petroleum-impacted soil was excavated from OU-1 and shipped off-site for disposal by Rock Gap Construction under contract to the BIA with Wells monitoring and oversight. The majority of the impacted soils in OU-1 were encountered at depths of 5-10 feet bgs and extended to the bedrock interface. The base of the excavation was also backfilled with processed gravel, which was subsequently covered with the non-impacted shallow site soils and other imported soils. Residual soil impacts remained at the base of the excavation (bedrock interface), as well as in some perimeter and inaccessible areas including below a water supply line and the adjacent building. This work has been further described in Wells’ Soil
Excavation Report (Wells, 2017d).
In 2015 and 2016, approximately 7,500 cubic yards (CY) of petroleum-impacted soils were excavated from OU-2 and shipped off-site for disposal by Rock Gap Construction under contract to the BIA with Wells monitoring and oversight. Most of the petroleum-impacted soils were encountered at depths of five (5) feet or more below ground surface
(bgs). The impacted soils were excavated down to the bedrock interface (typically 10 to
12 feet bgs). The base of the excavation was backfilled with an approximate 2-foot bed of processed gravel. Several lengths of perforated pipes were lain on the gravel to provide for optional future injections of bioamendment fluids.
Residual petroleum-impacted soils remained at the base of the excavation (bedrock interface), as well as in some perimeter and inaccessible areas, such as below a sewer line and shed. The excavation area above the gravel was filled with the original overburden non-impacted shallow site soils and soils imported from off site. This work has been further described in Wells’ Soil Excavation Report (Wells, 2017d).
In April and October 2017, Wells conducted injection events at OU-1 and OU-2, utilizing subsurface piping systems installed in the excavations in 2016 and 2017. The injected materials consisted of a Custom Blend Nitrate (CBN) fertilizer mixed with water, a surfactant and hydrocarbon-degrading consortium. A total of 9,000 pounds of CBN, 160 gallons of surfactant and 80 gallons of consortium we mixed with approximately 20,000 gallons of water were injected into OU-2, while 6,000 pounds of CBN, 80 gallons of surfactant and 40 gallons of consortium were injected at OU-1. The report discussing the injection methods, volumes, flow rates and other details is included in a report entitled “Bio-injection Program at Operable Units OU-1 and OU-2, Tuba City, Arizona”, dated December 2017 (Wells, 2017b).
1.3 Current Site Characteristics
The Tuba City site is located near the northwestern corner of the intersection of Oak
Street and Edgewater Drive, and is bordered by Birch Avenue to the north, Edgewater
Drive to the south, and encompasses both sides of Oak and Pine Streets (see
Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix A). Oak Street bisects the OUs from north to south, as does Pine Street. The site is at an approximate elevation of 4,950 feet above mean sea level (msl). The site’s topography slopes gently toward the southeast. The nearest naturally-occurring surface water is Pasture Canyon Reservoir located approximately one (1) mile to the east.
1.4 Site Geology and Hydrogeology
Surficial soils consist of windblown aeolian sand and silt. Dune features are common, and surficial aeolian deposits are more permeable than the underlying bedrock
(Petersen et.al., 1979). The geology at the site consists of primarily overburden soils comprised of sandy silts and clayey silts, which are transitional both laterally and vertically in various locations, with lenses of silty fine sands. These soils extend to depths of between approximately 10 to 15 feet below ground, at which point bedrock is present. Bedrock has been identified by previous consultants as silty sandstones and mudstones of the Moenkopi Formation. TerraNext indicated that the site geology likely consists of surficial aeolian (wind-blown) deposits of fine clays, silts and sands overlying the Navajo Sandstone bedrock, which is relatively more impermeable that the overlying material (TerraNext 2011).
The principal aquifer beneath Tuba City, Arizona is a weakly cemented and variably permeable Navajo Sandstone which is often referred to as the N-aquifer. Near Tuba
City, groundwater springs emerge along the contact between the Navajo Sandstone and underlying Kayenta Formation in Pasture Canyon and Moenkopi Wash. The Navajo
Sandstone and Kayenta Formation interfinger; thus, the mapped geologic contact between these formations is not considered precise. The transition zone between the
Navajo and Kayenta formations consists of alternating mudstone, siltstone, and sandstone, which likely has a local influence on shallow groundwater flow paths.
1.5 Clearances, Notifications, and Permits
Prior to the performance of site activities, the following was conducted:
Notified the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the proposed sampling schedule.
A copy of the notification is attached to Appendix 4.
All site work was conducted in accordance with the April 2, 2021 Health and Safety Plan
(with Work Plan) issued to the BIA on April 2, 2021. A Daily Job Site Safety Meeting
Form was completed during all phases of field work. Copies of these forms is included in Appendix 4.
2.0 SUMMARY OF SITE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES
2.1 Groundwater Monitoring Well Gauging and Sampling
Groundwater grab samples were collected from each viable monitoring well or remediation well location between Monday, November 14, 2022 and Thursday, November 17, 2022 using a Geotech™ peristaltic pump. Polyethylene tubing was lowered to near the bottom of each well and was connected to the pump using surgical tubing. A flow-through cell was connected to the discharge side of the pump for measuring field parameters using a YSI Multi-meter. During the purging process, measurements of pH, temperature, specific conductance (SC), dissolved oxygen (DO), and oxygen-reduction potential (ORP) were obtained and recorded on Well Sampling
Forms (see Appendix 4). The discharge tubing attached to the pump was utilized to obtain representative groundwater grab samples for analysis by United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 8260B for Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) including the compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), naphthalene, 1,2,4- and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and 1,2-Dichloroethane (DCA); by EPA Method 8015B for Gasoline
Range Organics (GRO) and Diesel Range/Oil Range Organics (DRO/ORO), and by various natural attenuation (nutrient) methods for Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Sulfate, Phosphate, Potassium, Manganese, Iron, and Magnesium. All samples were submitted under appropriate Chain-of-Custody Procedures (utilizing standard IBI Operating
Procedures) to Green Analytical Laboratories in Durango, Colorado via Fed Ex®.
Groundwater monitoring wells MW-206, MW-210 and MW-234 were found to be dry or nearly dry, and MW-34, RMW-MW-1, RMF-MW-2, MW-201, MW-210, MW-212, MW-
213, MW-216, MW-218, MW-219, MW-220, MW-227, MW-233, MW-236, MW-303,
MW-308, and MW-312 were found to either be covered (unlocatable), damaged or destroyed. IBI noticed the maintenance yard doing some grading and cleanup work along the fence line to OU-3 during the sampling event. More wells along the roadway on the east and west side of OU-3 were found damaged or missing (see Photographs in
Appendix 4). IBI spoke to a BIA Facility Maintenance employee during sampling and he indicated that motor grader work along the roadway has damaged several wells in the recent past. Finally, groundwater monitoring wells MW-20 and MW-227 were not sampled due to the presence of a floating layer of fuel oil.
2.2 Monitoring Well Field Data and Laboratory Groundwater Grab Analytical Sample Results Summary
Static water level readings ranged from 5.64 feet to 12.27 feet below the top of well casings;
Most wells sampled contained an adequate quantity of groundwater for sampling, with the exception of those wells that went dry prior to sampling all of the target parameters;
A floating layer of fuel oil was noted on groundwater in monitoring wells MW-20 and MW-227;
Benzene concentrations across all OUs were below the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 5.0 micrograms per liter (µg/L);
Toluene concentrations across all OUs were below the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 1,000 µg/L;
Ethylbenzene concentrations across all OUs were below the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 700 µg/L;
Total xylene concentrations across all OUs were below the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 10,000 µg/L;
Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) concentrations cross all OUs were below the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 2.6 µg/L;
Naphthalene concentrations detected in groundwater monitoring wells MW-1, MW-224, MW-235, MW-239, MW-302, and MW-307 exceed the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard of 6.2 µg/L; and, No PAH compounds were reported with detections exceeding the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standards.
In order to better understand the distribution of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater, the concentrations of BTEX, TPH-DRO, and Naphthalene were illustrated on Figures 3, 4, and 5 in Appendix 1, respectively. In addition, concentration trends for BTEX, naphthalene, and TPH-DRO concentrations in select impacted wells (MW-
223, MW-227, MW-236, MW-237, MW-302, and MW-307) are also included in
Appendix 1 to evaluate any trends in concentration over time (since 2017).
2.2.1 Discussion of Operable Unit OU-1
The only detection of petroleum in groundwater at or near this OU remains to be in monitoring well MW-302 along Oak Street off the eastern side of the subject area. The minor impacts appear to be more gasoline like than fuel oil like, with none of the analytical parameters exceeding the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standards.
2.2.2 Discussion of Operable Unit OU-2
This unit still contains a plume that is oriented from the northwest to the southeast along the prevailing groundwater flow direction. The plume is centered around the east-central portion of the unit. The plume crosses Oak Street and is present within the western limits of OU-3 near its southern boundary. There are isolated occurrences of impact along the southern boundary as well as two (2) occurrences of NAPL (very southeastern corner at MW-227 and offsite south of OU-3 at MW-20).
2.2.3 Discussion of Operable Unit OU-3
Besides the naphthalene emanating upgradient from OU-2 along the southwestern limits, there is a small naphthalene plume along the eastern limits of this unit that slightly crosses First Street.
2.3 Discussion of Augmentation Parameter Results
The following discusses the significance of the “nutrient” parameter data obtained from a select number of groundwater monitoring wells across the OU areas.
2.3.1 Ammonia
Excluding manmade sources (e.g., wastewater discharges, agricultural activity), the presence of ammonia can be the result of nitrogen fixation by microbes (bacteria) feeding off a source of organic matter in groundwater (e.g., residual fuel oil). Most groundwater has a natural ammonia concentration of about 0.20 milligrams per liter
(mg/L) or less. Concentrations in the 15 targeted wells sampled ranged from <0.10 mg/L to 33.8 mg/L (MW-307).
2.3.2 Nitrate
Nitrate is a preferred Terminal Electron Acceptor (TEA) after all of the viable oxygen dissolved in groundwater is used up by microbial activity (anaerobic). This occurs as denitrification of organic carbon. Measurable concentrations of nitrite in groundwater is an indication of nitrate reduction. In an area of a contaminant plume acting as a source of organic carbon, the reduction of nitrate and the reduction of dissolved contaminants with an measurable increase of nitrate signifies denitrification. Wells with elevated or measurable nitrate concentrations do not exhibit any appreciable nitrite concentrations.
So, nitrate reduction is not likely occurring onsite.
2.3.3 Nitrite
As indicated above, measurable concentrations of nitrite in groundwater, coupled with nitrate reduction and plume concentration reductions is evidence of denitrification as a dominant biodegradation mechanism. Again, this is not evident in the data collected from this sampling event.
2.3.4 Sulfate
Sulfate can also be used as a TEA under anaerobic conditions after available oxygen, nitrate, and ferric iron have been depleted. Sulfate is very soluble in groundwater.
Under sulfate-reducing conditions, sulfate demand will be high and sulfate concentrations will be depleted relative to concentrations upgradient of the contaminant plume. Sulfate concentrations reportedly range from 10.0 mg/L (MW-223) to 305 mg/L
(MW-310). The concentrations appear randomly across the subject site and have no apparent relationship between being upgradient, within, or downgradient of any identifiable contaminant plume.
2.3.5 Iron
Iron, typically as ferric iron (Fe3+), is insoluble in groundwater unless reduced to its soluble form, ferrous iron (Fe2+). This reduction process can occur when microbes use ferric iron as a TEA. As a result, you expect to see increases in ferrous iron concentrations where plume concentrations are reducing under anaerobic biodegradation. Since the previous scope only evaluated dissolved iron and did not distinguish between ferric and ferrous concentrations onsite, it can only be speculated by the general lack or very low concentrations of dissolved iron analyzed that iron is not being utilized as a TEA for this biodegradation effort.
2.3.6 Manganese
Manganese (Mn4+), much like ferric iron, is insoluble in groundwater unless reduced to its soluble form, Mn2+ during anaerobic degradation. Since it is interchangeable with ferric iron in nature, it depends on which metal is dominant in the aquifer material when determining which one will become a TEA. The same relationship holds true for manganese; increase in dissolved manganese coupled with decrease in contaminant plume concentration under anaerobic conditions. Since the previous scope only evaluated total manganese and did not determine dissolved manganese concentrations onsite, an evaluation on whether the biodegradation effort is utilizing manganese as a
TEA cannot be made at this time.
2.4 Discussion of Observed Site Conditions
The following is summary of some observed site conditions pertaining to the wells included in the monitoring and sampling plan.
Many of the existing groundwater monitoring wells do not exhibit any detectable concentration of petroleum impact and are therefore not providing any useful data to evaluate the extent of any contaminant plume or plume migration (stability);
A several more groundwater monitoring wells along the shoulders of Oak Street and First Street were found damaged or missing. There was evidence of active blading of the shoulder with pieces of well collars and concrete pads nearby (see photographs in Appendix 4);
There is still a measurable, black floating layer of old fuel oil on groundwater in monitoring well MW-227 (see photograph in Appendix 4) and recently discovered in monitoring well MW-20. The presence of this layer (or ability to create a layer once groundwater is withdrawn from a well) will contribute to release the more soluble components of this fuel to the dissolved phase unless it is effectively removed.
3.0 SUMMARY OF SITE ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Based on a review of all site-specific data collected at the Tuba City OU areas, the following summarizes the results of the Fourth Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Event:
There are a considerable number of groundwater monitoring wells within the existing network that do not contain any analytical evidence of impact to groundwater at their location;
Gasoline-grade petroleum compounds (BTEX) are nearly absent across the subject site with none of the current concentrations exceeding the NNEPA Cleanup Standards;
There are only five (5) detections of naphthalene in groundwater across the entire site that exceed the NNEPA Cleanup Standards;
The presence of PAH compounds continues to be insignificant across all OU sites due to their low solubility in groundwater;
A floating layer of fuel oil is present on groundwater at MW-227 and MW-20;
While no NNEPA Cleanup Standard exists for TPH-DRO, there are several exceedances in the Tapwater cleanup level published by the USEPA in the Regional Screening Levels (RSL) across the subject site; and, An evaluation of concentration trends in the selected wells for this period indicates a slight increase in BTEX at MW-302, which may be temporal. This appears to be true for the previous spike in TPH-DRO at MW-302 and MW- 307 which now have returned to earlier concentrations. Naphthalene concentrations were erratic in MW-223, but have been declining over time and have remained low for the past year and a half. A similar trend has been occurring in MW-302, MW-307, and to a lesser extent MW-237. Overall, trends appear to be either steady or declining, with no suggestion of any significant rebounding of concentrations.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results from the groundwater monitoring efforts and the current sampling event, the following conclusions were drawn:
Impacts to groundwater across the subject site occur within OU-2 and OU- 3, with a minor, single-well occurrence within or near OU-1;
Impacts above the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standards are limited to five
(5) naphthalene exceedances;
TPH-GRO detections are scarce and isolated due to the nature of the petroleum release (heating oil/fuel oil);
TPH-DRO detections are scattered across the subject site, but there is currently no NNEPA Water Cleanup Standard for this gross petroleum analytical screening method;
None of the PAH compounds previously analyzed for (with the exception of naphthalene) were reported at concentrations exceeding the NNEPA Water Cleanup Standards;
Remedial actions performed within OU-2 show some decline in contaminant concentrations, especially the lighter volatile compounds (BTEX); and, There are no significant changes in plume position or concentration across the subject site since the previous sampling event.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the conclusions provided above, iiná bá offers the following recommendations with regards to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Operable Unit site located in Tuba City, Coconino County, Arizona:
Continue with the semi-annual groundwater monitoring and sampling events for the remaining two (2) periods in 2023 per the existing contract;
The removal of the NAPL layer on groundwater at monitoring wells MW-227 and MW-20 should be performed to eliminate this condition as a source of possible dissolved-phase impacts to local groundwater;
Begin to consider reducing the footprint of the existing, long-term groundwater monitoring well network by initially plugging and abandoning those groundwater monitoring wells with a history of being dry to eliminate these locations from being a liability (direct conduit to the water table) and then further reduce the number of monitoring wells no longer needed to monitor plume migration, reduction, or degradation; and, All remaining flush-mount groundwater monitoring wells along Oak Street and First Street should be evaluated for existing conditions and markers or barricades of some sort need to be erected to prevent any more wells from becoming damaged or destroyed. All monitoring wells should have general routine maintenance performed to maintain their integrity including, locks for security and painting of protective covers/housings.
