HW683_DC032B

This Task Assignment authorizes Geosyntec to conduct Groundwater Monitoring activities at Former Coles Cleaners in accordance with Geosyntec scope of work, cost estimate and schedule received on January 14, 2025. The total cost is $23,600.40.

Blaine Dawson is the project manager; his hours are directly computed.

Subtask 2, 3 – Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting This subtask includes costs associated with annual groundwater monitoring activities tentatively scheduled for February 2025. Groundwater levels will be collected from 33 monitoring wells in the Site-wide monitoring well network. Measurements will be collected over a 24-hour period to generate groundwater elevation contour maps to evaluate groundwater flow directions.

An Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report will be prepared documenting the results of the depth to groundwater measurements and groundwater analytical results. The report will contain tables summarizing field/laboratory groundwater data, figures showing groundwater flow direction(s), and a summary of the groundwater monitoring event.

The FDEP Project Manager agrees to the scope of work and final cost associated with this Task assigner. The final cost is $23,600.40 with 104 labor hours.

Subject: Annual Groundwater Monitoring

Scope of Work and Level of Effort Former Coles Cleaners

791 3rd Street North, Jacksonville Beach, Florida FDEP Facility ID ERIC_4608

Dear Ms. Aduwa, Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) has prepared this statement of work (SOW), Cost Estimate Form (CEF), and Level of Effort (LOE) for soil gas and groundwater monitoring activities at the Former Coles Cleaners Site (Site) located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. This below described assessment activities were recommended in the March 2024 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report (GMR).

On 6 December 2024, Geosyntec confirmed that a Site Access Agreement (SAA) was executed with No. 3 Commercial, LLC on 31 October 2022, as the real property owner of the Former Coles Cleaners Site (ERIC_4608) located at the above address. The Duval County property appraiser database indicates the property owner since 5 November 2005 is “No. 3 Commercial, LLC,” and that the property has not changed ownership since then. As a result, Geosyntec believes the current SAA remains in force.

Subtask 1 – Project Management

Subtask 2 – Annual Groundwater Monitoring: Annual groundwater monitoring is tentatively scheduled for January 2025 and will be completed in accordance with Table 1. Note that the annual monitoring event includes microbial analyses performed by a specialty analytical laboratory, SiREM; their quote is attached. Groundwater samples will be stored on ice and shipped to the analytical laboratory under chain of custody for analysis under standard turnaround times.

Soil gas monitoring will also be conducted to assess potential methane and hydrogen sulfide generation beneath the former dry-cleaning building. Air samples will be collected from SGP-1, SGP-2, and SV-1 (soil vent fan) and screened for methane, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide using a multi-RAE.

ERIC_4608 - Coles Cleaners - Annual Monitoring SOW_2025

Purge water generated during sampling activities will be placed in a 55-gallon drum and manifested for off-site disposal. IDW will be staged in the rear of the facility. To confirm compliance with the existing non-hazardous IDW groundwater profile with the selected IDW waste hauler (Hull’s Environmental Services), an IDW groundwater sample will be collected for VOHs via EPA Method 8260 from the purge water drum.

Subtask 3 – Groundwater Monitoring Report: Geosyntec will prepare an Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report documenting the results of the depth to groundwater measurements and groundwater analytical results. The report will contain tables summarizing field/laboratory groundwater data, figures showing groundwater flow direction(s), and a summary of the groundwater monitoring event. A final signed waste manifest for IDW transport and disposal will also be included in the Groundwater Monitoring Report.
