BIA POSTON IRRIGATION O&M FACILITY

INTRODUCTION

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Western Regional Office (WRO) Division of Environmental and Cultural Resources Management (DECRM) requires contracted services for air sparging and soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) equipment lease and operation to remediate gasoline contamination in soil and groundwater released from a former leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site at the BIA Colorado River Agency (CRA) Irrigation Operations and Maintenance Facility (Facility), located in Poston, Arizona on the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Reservation. Proposals for alternate remediation techniques shall not be considered.

This requirement involves frequent travel to/from the Poston, Arizona facility necessary for performance of field work, as specified. Field work includes groundwater monitoring, monitoring well redevelopment, installation and abandonment, installation of new AS wells and lateral air piping, connection of the AS compressor and the SVE blower to the new AS distribution system and to the existing SVE manifold system, and operation, monitoring and maintenance of the AS/SVE treatment system for a period of one (1) year. This requirement includes four (4) Option Years to extend AS/SVE operations and groundwater monitoring, which may be exercised in whole or in part at BIAs discretion.

BACKGROUND

The Facility was established in the early 1940’s when it served as an Army headquarters for a Japanese internment camp. Later the BIA acquired the property and converted the Army installation into an operations and maintenance (O&M) facility to administer the CRA Irrigation Program, which distributes water diverted from the Colorado River to agricultural customers of the Reservation. The Facility is secured daily and is fenced, and includes a large yard area used for storage of equipment, raw materials and supplies, and vehicles. A number of buildings and modular trailers are located within the yard.

The Facility also includes a fueling station, comprised of a dispenser island, and two 10,000 gallon above ground storage tanks (ASTs) for gasoline and diesel fuel with secondary containment reservoirs. The fueling station replaced and significantly downsized fuel systems previously located on the property, which included eight (8) 10,000 gallon gasoline and diesel ASTs, two (2) 2,000 gallon gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs), and dispensers; these systems were removed from the Facility during 1996 and 1997.

The release of gasoline and contamination of soil and groundwater was identified in 1997, during field investigations performed in accordance with regulatory requirements pertaining to permanent closure of UST systems. In June 2001, the UST Program Office of US EPA (EPA) Region 9 issued a letter to BIA requiring the performance of a Tier II Site Assessment (Assessment) of the Facility, to include characterization of contaminant impacts and risk to off-site receptors and resources.

Location and Topography

The site is located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation, on the east side of Mohave Road in Poston, Arizona on the floodplain of the Colorado River (northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 36, Township 8 North, Range 21 West, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian). The site is approximately 10 miles south of Parker, Arizona (Attachment 1, Figure 1). The area surrounding the facility is primarily rural and used for agriculture; it is irrigated by surface water diverted from the Colorado River, upstream from the site.

Geology and Hydrogeology

The site is located on the relatively flat alluvial plain associated with the Colorado River, which at its closest approach passes within approximately 3 miles west of the site. The alluvial deposits consist of a series of unconsolidated sand units underlying the site. Silt is present across the site from ground surface to approximately 2 to 9 feet below ground surface (bgs) (Terranext, 2006). Across much of the site, a clay unit up to 2 feet thick underlies the silt. Silty sand that extends to a depth of at least 20 feet bgs underlies the clay.

Depth to groundwater has historically varied from 10 to 13 feet bgs across the site. The groundwater flow direction is typically to the south or south-southeast, at a gradient varying from 0.0005 to 0.0009 feet per foot (AMEC Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. [AMEC, 2012]).

Previous Investigations, Removal and Remedial Actions

Subsequent to preliminary investigations associated with the LUST conducted during 1997 and 1998, which identified free product in two of the five monitoring wells that had been installed at that time, further study of contamination at the Facility did not resume until 2006 when commercial services for Assessment of the Facility was contracted to TerraNext, LLC. The objectives of the Assessment were to identify gasoline and other contaminant impacts in subsurface soil and groundwater throughout the Facility yard, in each of five areas of concern (AOCs) identified for specific contaminants and sources, and to identify and evaluate potential impacts of contamination, if any, to human receptors. The Assessment included installation of eleven new monitoring wells and drilling fifty-five soil borings throughout the yard.

The results of this investigation indicated the presence of contaminants in excess of industrial Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs). Contaminants of Concern (COCs) detected in soil and groundwater included: Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH); volatile fuel hydrocarbons (VFH); and, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes (BTEX).

Based on results of the Assessment, Terranext defined excavation limits and recommended removal of contaminated soil within AOC-2 and the stockpiled soil of AOC-5, and proposed passive skimming, and active remediation using AS/SVE to address gasoline contamination in soil and free product in groundwater (MW-4) within a defined area centered around the former LUST (AOC-3b). Diesel contamination in soil and free product (MW-1) in groundwater was also identified in the vicinity of AOC-4.

Based on the results and recommendations of the TerraNext Assessment Report, BIA contracted with Ninyo and Moore to further assess the nature and degree of hydrocarbon impacts and to initiate remediation of documented soil and groundwater contamination at the Facility. Assessment work included additional drilling of additional soil borings throughout the Facility yard, and the installation of additional monitoring wells. Ninyo and Moore completed three rounds of groundwater monitoring for gasoline and diesel fuel-related constituents. Ninyo and Moore also performed removal actions to address contaminated soil identified by TerraNext for AOC-2 and AOC-5.

In September 2008, Ninyo & Moore imitated groundwater remediation at the Facility by manually removing free product either by bailing or using absorbent socks in six monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-4, MW-11, MW-12, MW-13, and MW-14). The amount of VOCs removed by carphene socks and bailing was calculated by Ninyo & Moore to be approximately 12.48 pounds in monitoring well MW-1 based on the weight of diesel fuel. Ninyo & Moore calculated approximately 42.66 pounds of VOCs were removed from monitoring wells MW-4, MW-11, MW-12, MW-13, and MW-14, based on the weight of gasoline.

An active free product recovery system was installed by Ninyo & Moore in April, 2009. The belt skimmer free product removal system was installed in monitoring well MW-4 within the former underground storage tank pit. The belt skimmer continued to operate until May, 2010. Ninyo & Moore calculated approximately 584 pounds of VOCs were removed from MW-4 by the belt skimmer free product removal system.

Ninyo & Moore also designed and installed AS/SVE systems for the Facility, and commenced SVE SVE operations in November 2008. Air sparging (AS) began in conjunction with the SVE in October 2009. The AS/SVE system operated until May 2010 when the system was shut down and the above ground equipment (blowers) was removed from site. Ninyo & Moore estimated that the AS/SVE system removed 20,310.3 pounds of hydrocarbons from November 2008 to May 2010 (Ninyo & Moore, 2010).

BIA later contracted with AMEC (formerly MACTEC) to resume AS/SVE operations at the Facility; SVE operation resumed in December 2010, followed by AS operation in February 2011. AMEC operated the AS/SVE systems through December 2011, and conducted quarterly groundwater monitoring prior to, during, and after AS/SVE operation AMEC estimated that the system removed 35,145 pounds of hydrocarbons from November 2010 through December 2011.

In the February, 2012 Final Remedial Project Report, AMEC indicated that the extent of the dissolved plume appears to be defined downgradient by MW-26 and cross-gradient to the south east by MW-23. AMEC cautioned, however, that insufficient groundwater monitoring locations and data are available to appropriately define the upgradient and north-west cross-gradient extent of the groundwater contamination. Upgradient dissolved plume contamination extends past MW-04 but does not reach MW-30 (approximately 80 feet upgradient). North-west plume concentrations extend past MW-11 but do not reach well MW-29 (approximately 100 feet north-west) or MW-27 (approximately 115 feet west).

The latest assessment of conditions at the Facility occurred in September 2013. BIA contracted with Bristol Environmental Remediation Services, LLC (Bristol) to evaluate the natural attenuation of contamination in groundwater and the current extent of hydrocarbon contamination in soil associated with the former LUST, relative to the last known contaminant concentrations observed in December, 2011. These services also included the identification and evaluation of remedial alternatives, considering the results of current conditions, and other considerations such cost, duration, and effectiveness of each alternative.

During the 2013 investigation, Bristol drilled 7 soil borings in the AS/SVE treatment area. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX)., and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHG). Groundwater samples were collected from four monitoring wells (MW-4, MW-11, MW-23, and MW‑24) and analyzed for BTEX and TPHG. Water level elevations documented for all monitoring wells.

Results of this investigation and depiction of the vertical and lateral extent of contamination in soil and groundwater, is provided in Attachment 1, Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5. Notable conditions included absence of free product in any of the monitoring wells sampled, and field observation of petroleum contamination in upgradient monitoring well MW-30, with considerable contaminant concentrations remaining in soil and groundwater within the AS/SVE treatment area.

LIMITATIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Despite the installation of numerous monitoring wells installed between 1997 and 2008 (see Attachment 1, Figure 6) and monitoring of contaminant concentrations through 2013, there is uncertainty associated with the nature and lateral extent and migration of contaminants in groundwater. The current and proposed AS/SVE system configuration is based on all available soil and groundwater data collected to date; however, there exists the possibility that additional unknown hotspots of soil and groundwater contamination may be present outside the treatment area.

3. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (DIAPR) 2010-14, Amendment 1

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (JULY 2010)

(a) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

(b) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 - 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form.
