Appendix A - Requirements for Working within Operable Unit 1 (OU-1)

1. Background. Due to historical contamination, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point

(MCAS CP) is registered on the National Priorities List (NPL) which is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official register of facilities that are subject to federal regulatory cleanup standards. MCAS CP has an officially signed Record of Decision (ROD) detailing remediation strategies at sites referred to as Operable Units (OUs) that include Land Use Controls (LUCs) for each site. FRC East is within Operable Unit 1 (OU-1) where a significant portion of the industrial buildings are subject to LUC’s. In addition to LUCs for vapor intrusion and groundwater impacts, excavation of soil and geotechnical soil boring have specific requirements for management, handling and disposal. The following sections will break down the requirements for each and must be followed as they apply to the project. Applicability of each requirement should be determined at the earliest stage of the project between the Contractor and FRC East

a. LUCs for OU-1 include:

i. Prohibition of all uses of groundwater and construction activities with the potential to result in worker exposure to groundwater from the surficial aquifer within the LUC boundaries unless written approval is obtained from US EPA and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality

(NC DEQ);

ii. Prohibition of all intrusive activities below the water table unless prior written approval obtained from US EPA and NC DEQ;

iii. Evaluation of the potential for vapor intrusion impacts from new building construction, major physical modifications or changes in occupancy/use of existing structures prior to their implementation; and,

iv. Maintaining the integrity of any existing or future monitoring or remediation system at the site.

2. Geotechnical Borings. Depending on the depth of the boring, many borings may extend deep into the shallow aquifer (i.e. Surficial) allowing contaminants to vertically migrate into the aquifer. In many cases, a boring can penetrate an aquifer ‘confining unit’ (or dense clay layer) that separates two hydraulically distinct aquifers thereby enabling contaminated groundwater from one aquifer to migrate into another deeper aquifer and cross-contaminate underlying aquifers.

a. The Project Manager shall notify EAD early into the project of the requirement to install geotechnical borings.

b. The Contractor shall obtain the services of a Geotechnical contractor, who will then provide a work plan to EAD, via the Project Manager, detailing how the borings are to be installed and sealed.

c. The work plan shall include a figure showing the location of each borings, the boring nomenclature, depth & diameter of each boring, how each boring is to be installed and sealed, and how drill cuttings and water are to be managed in accordance with “Environmental Guidance – Geotechnical Soil Boring Activities dtd April 2022”.

i. For more detailed information about requirements of the Work Plan, boring installation, sealing, acceptable grouts, and management of both drill cuttings and groundwater, the Contractor shall request a copy of the MCAS Cherry Point guidance document via the Project Manager.

d. The work plan will be must be reviewed and approved prior to commencing drilling activities.

e. The regulatory approval process can be time consuming (60-90 days) and EAD must obtain written approval from NC DEQ and EPA before geotechnical soil boring activities can be conducted within a LUC boundary.

3. Soil Handing

a. Stockpiling

i. Any excavated soil shall be stockpiled on plastic, bermed, and covered in accordance with NC DEQ Ground water Guidelines and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), or placed in a plastic lined roll-off container and covered with plastic.

ii. All excavated soil may be re-utilized as backfill at the same location from which it was removed unless petroleum contamination is discovered. If any soil encountered during excavation exhibits an abnormal/unnatural color, chemical/petroleum odor, or is saturated with a chemical/petroleum, the Contractor shall immediately stop work in that area and notify the

b. Analytical Testing

i. Contactor shall provide supporting laboratory analysis and waste profile to the EAD, through the Project Manager, for review.

ii. One composite sample shall be taken and analyzed for each 200 cubic yards of the stockpile, per NC DEQ Guidelines.

iii. Contractor shall identify and use a certified laboratory to perform the specified soil analyses.

1. First 4 analyses (1-4) – Must be certified by the State of North Carolina, for all 4 of these analyses

2. Last analysis (5) – Must select a DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) accredited laboratory certified for the method/matrix/analyte

iv. The stockpile sample(s) shall be analyzed for the following:

1. Std Method 5030 sample prep with Modified 8015 (CA GC-FID

Method) -Gasoline Range Organics;

2. Std Method 5030 and 3550 sample prep with Modified 8015 - Diesel Range Organics;

3. EPA Method 9071 - Oil & Grease, with silica gel wash; and

4. Full TCLP; and

5. Draft Method 1633 Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl

Substances (PFAS) in Aqueous, Solid, Biosolids, and Tissue Samples by LC-MS/MS

v. Contractor shall consult with the selected laboratory about the specific sample handling procedures required by the analytical methods. Sample containers, volumes, procedures, and preservation vary among methods and should be identified early to understand requirements and need.

vi. Sampling shall be conducted by qualified personnel following proper chain-of-custody protocol.

c. Disposal

i. Any excess soil that cannot be re-utilized as backfill at the same location from which it was removed shall be disposed at a Subtitle D landfill (e.g.

Tuscarora), as a minimum, with the understanding that the analytical testing results shall determine the final disposal facility.

ii. The Contractor shall complete the manifest/bill of lading. Documentation should include the amount of soil (weight) being removed and supporting laboratory results for review.

iii. The EAD shall be responsible for review and signature on the waste manifests/bill of lading for the soil disposal prior to any soil leaving

MCAS CP.

iv. All moving, storing, testing, and berm costs associated with the excavated soil shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. All soil shall be stockpiled until used as backfill or final disposal.

4. Vapor Intrusion. Vapor intrusion must be considered in the early project planning. Any penetration to the foundation creates potential for subsurface vapors to enter into a work space and must therefore be evaluated prior to any work.

a. Vapor intrusion monitoring/evaluation may require the Contractor conduct actions to protect their own workers from potential exposures to vapors (or contaminated groundwater).

i. If this requirement is identified, the Contractor must develop a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) which details how the workers will be protected during the time the subsurface soil is exposed.

ii. The HASP is provided to EAD via the Project Manager for documentation; however, is not required to be approved prior to work.

b. There are 2 methods of disturbance – Open cutting for a new foundation, isolation pad, etc. and/or small penetrations into subsurface. Requirements for each type:

i. Foundation - As a minimum, the contractor shall use a vapor barrier below the new foundation that meets ASTM E1745 CLASS A polyethylene sheeting, minimum 15 mil thicknesses or ASTM E1993/E1993M bituminous membrane or other equivalent material with a maximum permanence rating of 0.01 perms per ASTM E96/E96M. The vapor barrier shall be resistant to chlorinated solvents.

ii. Penetration through the concrete into the subsurface (i.e. bore holes, drill holes or other small openings) - Requires appropriate sealing to ensure no cavities or voids remain which would allow potential subsurface vapors to enter into indoor work spaces. These openings should be sealed appropriately. Appropriate sealing guidance can be found in the Soil Boring Guidance document.

5. Requirements for Off-Site Soil (RFOSS). No soils shall be furnished or transported onto MCAS CP, or outlying fields, when such act would violate the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or the General Statutes of North Carolina.

a. The Contractor shall provide documentation certifying that all soil furnished under the contract contains no petroleum, hazardous or toxic materials as stated in DoD Instruction 4715.6, which implements 10 U.S.C. 2692. This documentation shall include the Soil Authorization Form (SAF) showing the volume of soil needed, analytical test data to support the environmental condition of the soil, and a copy of the State-issued “mining permit” for the borrow pit source. The MCAS CP EAD will review these documents before off site soil is considered approved for use.
