Ms. Sarah Aduwa Florida Department of Environmental Protection Waste Site Cleanup Section 2600 Blair Stone Road Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400

Subject: Scope of Work/Level of Effort Annual Groundwater Monitoring Normandy Station Shopping Center (ERIC_4543) 7200-16 Normandy Boulevard Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida

Dear Ms. Aduwa, Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. has prepared the following Scope of Work (SOW) and Level of Effort (LOE) for annual groundwater monitoring activities at the Normandy Station Shopping Center (ERIC_4546, the Site) located in Jacksonville, FL. A copy of the CEF and LOE is provided as Attachment A. Annual volatile organic halocarbon (VOH) monitoring proposed in this SOW is consistent with the recommendations provided in the April 2023 Supplemental Site Assessment Report (SSAR).

On 29 May 2025, Geosyntec confirmed the Site Access Agreement (SAA) was executed with Normandy Station, Inc., on 23 October 2019, as the real property owner of the Normandy Station Shopping Center Site (ERIC_4543) located at the above address. The Duval County Property Appraiser database indicates the property owner since 27 March 1991 is �Normandy Station, Inc.,� 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

Blaine Dawson, Senior Geologist, will be the project manager (PM), and his PM hours are directly computed.

Ms. Sarah Aduwa 4 June 2025

ERIC_4543 - Normandy Station - Annual Monitoring SOW_2025

Subtask 2 � Annual Groundwater Monitoring

Geosyntec will collect 11 groundwater samples from the current monitoring well network per the recommendations in the April 2023 SSAR. Depth to water measurements will be collected within a 24-hour period from the monitoring well network. Each of the 11 monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-11) will be conventionally sampled using a peristaltic pump. The 11 groundwater samples will be analyzed by a fixed-based lab for volatile organic halocarbons (VOHs) by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8260B. We have estimated the activities can be performed by one senior staff professional over a two-day period. Note, PFAS constituents were not detected at concentrations above the provisional Groundwater Cleanup Target Levels during PFAS screening in October 2021, and thus, no additional PFAS screening is warranted at this Site.

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. Historical analytical results indicate the existing non-hazardous IDW groundwater profile with our selected IDW waste hauler Hull�s Environmental Services is applicable. Historical PFAS profiling analytical results have indicated disposal as non-hazardous waste under the existing non-hazardous waste profile.

Bid costs prepared by the waste disposal companies are summarized in the following table and included in Attachment A.

Subtask 3 � Groundwater Monitoring Report

Geosyntec will prepare an Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report documenting the results of the depth to groundwater measurements and chlorinated solvent concentrations. The report will contain tables summarizing field/laboratory groundwater data, one figure showing groundwater flow direction(s), one groundwater results figure, and a summary of the groundwater monitoring event. The report will be signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed professional geologist. A final signed waste manifest for IDW transport and disposal will also be included in the Groundwater Monitoring Report.
