INTRODUCTION
This Uniform Federal Policy - Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) Addendum has been prepared by Bhate Environmental Associates, Inc. (Bhate), for the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) under General Services Administration contract number FA8903-17-C-0011, solicitation number FA8903-17-R-0041. The document is intended for use during Land Use Control (LUC) and Long Term Management (LTM) activities at Various Sites at Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB) located in Cobb County, Georgia. LF001, FT002, FT003, DP005 DP006, OT004, OT007, ST008 are shown on Figure 1.
This project-specific UFP-QAPP addendum will supplement the site-wide UFP-QAPP already in place at Dobbins ARB. It will describe, in comprehensive detail, the necessary quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC), and other technical activities that will be implemented to ensure that the results of the work performed under this contract satisfy the stated performance criteria. It was prepared in accordance with the United States (U.S.)
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) UFP-QAPP Optimized Worksheets guidance (USEPA, March 2012) and all worksheets for this document were obtained from the UFP-QAPP website located at http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/documents/part2ufp_wbk_0305.pdf and from the from the Approved September 2015 UFP-QAPP addendum for site DP005.
Background Per Site
Dobbins ARB was constructed in 1941 and is the only remaining operational U.S. Military Facility in northern Georgia. The facility is currently home to several branches of military service including the Air Force Reserve Command, the Georgia National Guard, and the Marine and Navy reserve units.
Site LF001 (Past Base Landfill) is an old landfill that was in use from the 1940s to the mid-1970s receiving office waste, household waste, and shop waste in unlined open shallow trenches (Figure 2). The north-south oriented trenches were dug progressively one at a time and each measured approximately 450 to 500 feet long by approximately 20 feet wide. As each trench was filled, a newer trench was dug immediately to the west while the older trench was backfilled and abandoned. Over the course of the 30 years of operation, the approximately 8 trenches are located within an area approximately 500 feet long by 500 feet wide and are collectively known as the Base Landfill, Site LF001. After the trenches were closed to waste burial, extensive construction demolition was dumped on the site before that practice was halted in the early 1980s. The site has not been lined or capped as is common in today’s landfills. The landfill has never been permitted to receive Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) wastes. A Decision Document for LF001 was submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) in 1997 recommending No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) status. GA EPD responded in December 2005 that they did not concur with a NFRAP recommendation for LF001 due to continued contamination and lack of existing and future receptor risk models. Additional investigation, risk assessment, and LUCs were http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/documents/part2ufp_wbk_0305.pdf
June 2017 2 noted as required. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue and two groundwater monitoring wells will also be sampled.
Site FT002 is a closed earthen fire training pit collocated with a current concrete engine run-up area (Figure 3). Fire training exercises were conducted at the site from the 1950s until the early 1970s and the fuel source was fuels mixed with solvent waste. The perimeter of the site is grassed and wooded. Two monitoring wells are located in the wooded area downgradient of the location and between the burn pit and a nearby stream. Off-flightline access to the site needs to be improved and maintained for proper maintenance and management of the site. It is categorized as a low risk site. Contaminants of concern (COCs) include various solvents. The GA EPD concurred with NFRAP with contaminants left behind that exceed Maximum Contaminant levels (MCLs). LUCs are required. Land use restrictions are posted, and the site is located in a restricted area. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue and 2 groundwater monitoring wells will also be sampled.
Site FT003 is a training pit designed to be a state of the art fire training facility in the early 1970s burning jet fuel in various locations within the concrete lined pit filled with gravel and training mockups (Figure 4). Contaminated water and fuel would then be drained through subsurface drains into fuel/water sumps, where it was then conveyed by gravity flow lines to an oil/water separator (OWS) and then into an industrial waste line to an oily water industrial waste treatment system operated by Lockheed located on Air Force Plant 6. Fuel was gravity fed to the burner system from an aboveground fuel tank. The GA EPD concurred with NFRAP with contaminants left behind that exceed MCLs. LUCs are required. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue.
Site DP005 (Aviation Gasoline [AVGAS] Sludge Burial Site A) is collocated with the base’s fuels storage area and is immediately adjacent to six removed 25,000 gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) and two existing aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) (Figure 5). Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) associated with fuel and fuel sludge were identified above acceptable minimum contaminant levels. A dual phase vacuum extraction system operated at the site for 4 years and was successful in removing light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) to a non-detect status. The system has removed VOCs and SVOCs in the groundwater to a point, as determined by computer modeling, that the contaminants will not impact surface water bodies. Although sampling has proven that levels of the VOCs in the groundwater are progressively decreasing, these levels remain in excess of State of Georgia In-stream water quality standards. Computer modeling has determined, however, that the downgradient stream will not be impacted. In recent semiannual sampling, LNAPL has not been detected. The original remediation goals have been met, although the site will require land use restrictions and groundwater monitoring until residual levels of contamination achieve MCLs through natural attenuation. The USTMP has determined that no further active remediation is required for the referenced release. LUCs are required. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue and 11 groundwater monitoring wells will also be sampled.
June 2017 3
Site DP006 (Fuel sludge Burial Site B) is approximately 500 feet southeast of the Base’s fuels storage area and currently sits beneath a Georgia Army National Guard (GANG) Armory.
Sludge from an unknown number of tanks and sludge removal events was deposited on this site from the early 1950s until the site was built up by the GANG in 1979 to 1980. Sludge from the various tanks was believed to have been dumped in open pits in this area, which was sometimes also used as outdoor storage. The specific site where these pits were placed has not been identified but is believed to be beneath the parking pavement and buildings constructed on the site. A Decision Document for DP006 was submitted to GA EPD in 1997 recommending NFRAP. GA EPD concurred with the NFRAP recommendation for DP006 from June 2004 to February 2005 with LUCs. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue.
Site OT004 (Big Lake) was originally constructed in 1907 as a back-up water source for the City of Marietta (Figure 7). It had an original surface area of approximately 5 acres and followed the existing contours of the land. Based on adjacent topography and the height of the concrete and stone dam, it originally had an average depth of 7 feet with the deepest part being 24 feet deep next to the dam. Over the course of the century of existence, excessive sedimentation due to early prevalent farming and construction techniques, and normal stream bank decay, the lake has filled to approximately one-half capacity with sediments. At some point these sediments became contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Most experts believe Air Force activities up-gradient of the lake are the major source of these contaminants. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue.
OT007 (Little Lake) was originally constructed in 1910 as a spring fed farm pond adjacent to the farm house (Figure 8). It had an original surface area of approximately 1.3 acres and followed the existing contours of the land with the exception that a stream from distant farm fields was made to by-pass the pond keeping the water clear during storm events. It was constructed of bermed soil that allowed the drive to the farm house to cross the access road.
It originally had an average depth of 4 feet with the deepest part being 7 or 8 feet deep next to the dam. Over the course of the century of existence, excessive sedimentation due to early prevalent farming and construction techniques, and normal stream bank decay, the lake has filled to approximately one-quarter capacity with sediments. At some point these sediments became contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, and pesticides, with most experts believing Air Force activities up-gradient of the lake are the major source of these contaminants. The GA EPD concurred with NFRAP for this site with contaminants left behind that exceed MCL.
LUCs are required. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue.
Site ST008 is the former fuel transfer lines that were in use from the early 1950s to the early 1980s and consisted of a system of multiple 4-inch and 6-inch diameter gravity-flow pipelines of unspecified material and depth (Figure 9). These lines constituted the rail off-loading headers and fuel tank fill lines for six former 25,000-gallon USTs located at the petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) Tank Farm. The six USTs were removed in August 1991. The fuel transfer lines were approximately 1,000 feet in length and extended from the former fueling system railhead to the POL Tank Farm. Investigations conducted in the 1990s confirmed soil and
June 2017 4 groundwater contamination. The transfer lines were excavated and removed in 1998, and confirmatory soil sampling showed levels below GA UST soil threshold levels. The GA EPD granted No Further Action (NFA) status for this site on November 7, 2001, with LUCs being required. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue.

2. Scope of Work
Work Plans
Mr. Walker began the meeting discussing the Work Plans.
Mr. Walker made note that there were some discrepancies between the CDRLs and the PWS concerning the Project Plans.
Mr. Lodico clarified that AFCEC requires that an addendum to the current UFP-QAPP is needed.
Mr. Walker stated that Bhate will be submitting a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) as an Appendix to the Addendum. (Appendix A)
Mr. Lodico specified that Bhate will need to submit a Draft, Draft Final, and Final version of the Plan.
Bhate confirmed that a Draft Plan will be submitted to AFCEC for review.
Bhate confirmed that a Draft Final Plan will be submitted to AFCEC, Base Point of Contact (POC), and to the Regulators for review.
Mr. Walker raised a question about the length of regulator review. It was noted in the questions and answers during the proposal process that regulator review could take up to 60 days. Is this accurate?
Ms. Cordell stated that it would be dependent on the work load that the regulators might have; however, currently their work load has gotten lighter and they may be a bit faster. She also stated that if we need to get something reviewed quickly that she could reach out to them and ask for an expedited review.
Bhate confirmed that for the Draft and Draft Final versions of the work plan a CD-ROM will be sufficient.
June 2017 16
Bhate confirmed that a Final Plan will be submitted to AFCEC and the Regulators as a CD- ROM version and Ms. Cordell would like a hard copy along with the CD-ROM.
Groundwater Sampling
According to the PWS, samples are to be collected from 15 monitoring wells (2 wells at LF001, 2 wells at FT002, and 11 wells at DP005).
Mr. Geroux stated that the PWS does not specify which wells to sample at each site, it only states a number. After a review of previous sampling plans and reports, only 8 wells were last sampled at DP005. LTM sampling has never occurred at LF001 and FT001. The Second Five Year Review Document (2014) has a table with 6 wells listed for LF001 and 2 wells listed for FT002. Bhate requested direction as to which wells should be sampled for each site.
Mr. Lodico stated that he was looking in the PCEAD and that it did not have the specific names of the wells.
Ms. Cordell stated that she was going to get the information on each site so that Bhate could sample the correct wells.
Ms. Cordell also said that she would try and acquire the Geographic Information System (GIS) data from the base for the wells to be sampled.
Bhate would like to produce accurate maps for all plans and reports and having the specific GIS data for all wells to be sampled would help to produce the correct maps.
Sampling is projected to take place in September 2017 pending the time it takes to get approval of the work plan.
The PWS stated the specific COC needing to be tested at each site. Samples will be submitted to TestAmerica Laboratories in Savannah, GA. This is the same laboratory that has been used for past LTM sampling at Dobbins.
Ms. Cordell stated that keys for well locks could be acquired from base environmental.
Bhate would need to coordinate through her when the sampling would take place so that Dobbins Environmental could be on Base on that day.
Land Use Control Inspections
Bhate will conduct visual LUC inspections at eight sites (LF001, FT002, FT003, DP005, DP006, OT004, OT007, and ST008).
Ms. Cordell stated the key to any gate locks would be with the keys for the wells.
Bhate will be using forms reproduced from previous LUC inspections in an effort to produce similar data. LUC inspection results will be provided in the Annual report.
As directed by Mr. Lodico, Bhate will use the existing Monitoring Well Summary from the 2014 Second Five Year Review as the basis of the Well Inventory that will be provided in the Annual Report.
Waste Management
Bhate will collect purge water generated during sampling in 55-gallon drums.
June 2017 17
Mr. Walker asked where the 55-gallon drum could be stored and requested that it be stored at DP005. DP005 has the most wells to be sampled and therefore would generate the most purge water.
Ms. Cordell stated that she would find out if the drum could be staged at DP005 or another location.
Bhate will be utilizing SP Petroleum of Atlanta, GA to dispose of purge water pending sample results.
Solid materials/used personal protective equipment will be bagged and treated as non-regulated solid waste and disposed in a trash bin off-site.
Reporting
A Land Use Control Inspection and Long-Term Management Report will be submitted within 30 days after the groundwater sampling and LUC inspections.
Bhate was directed to produce the same versions (Draft, Draft Final, and Final) as the Addendum to the UFP-QAPP for the Annual Report. Bhate was also directed to send the report in the same format and to the same parties as directed for the UFP-QAPP Addendum.
Miscellaneous
Mr. Walker stated that Bhate would be submitting a Monthly Status Report to describe what work was completed during the month and what work was scheduled for the next month.
Bhate will be providing a monthly invoice with the report for approval.
Mr. Lodico stated that to review the Monthly Status Report he would contact the Base POC to confirm the work described had been completed.
Mr. Lodico stated that when entering invoices into WAWF system that he should be attached on the submission and attention made to him. If he does not get an e-mail from the system then he will not know that Bhate has submitted an invoice.
Mr. Walker asked if Ms. Cordell could send Bhate the base access form so that our personnel that will be completing the LTM activities can prepare the documentation for Base access.
Mr. Walker asked if Bhate should funnel all questions through Mr. Lodico or if it would be okay to contact Ms. Cordell as long as Mr. Lodico was copied. This was accepted by AFCEC.
Mr. Lodico brought up the topic of Environmental Resources Program Information Management System (ERPIMS). Bhate will need to inform the personnel at ERPIMS when the sampling will occur. Bhate will be given a time frame as to when the data from sampling will need to be entered into the ERPIMS database. ERPIMS data entry is required under this contract.

WORKSHEET 10 – CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL
The problem to be addressed by the project is described below.
Site LF001
This site is a landfill that was in use from the 1940s to the mid-1970s receiving office waste, household waste, and shop waste in unlined open shallow trenches. The site has not been lined or capped as is common in today’s landfills. The landfill has never been permitted to receive RCRA wastes. A Decision Document for LF001 was submitted to GA EPD in 1997 recommending NFRAP. GA EPD responded in December 2005 that they did not concur with a NFRAP recommendations for LF001 due to continued contamination. Samples will be collected from two wells for metals analysis. LUCs and LTM activities are required to monitor remaining contaminants in groundwater.
Site FT002
Site FT002 is a closed earthen fire training pit collocated with a current concrete engine run-up area. Fire training exercises were conducted at the site from the 1950s until the early 1970s and the fuel source was fuels mixed with solvent waste. The perimeter of the site is grassed and wooded. Two monitoring wells are located in the wooded area downgradient of the location and between the burn pit and a nearby stream. Off-flightline access to the site needs to be improved and maintained for proper maintenance and management of the site. It is categorized as a low risk site. Contaminants of concern (COCs) include various solvents. The GA EPD concurred with NFRAP with contaminants left behind that exceed Maximum Contaminant levels (MCLs). LUCs are required. Land use restrictions are posted, and the site is located in a restricted area. For this field effort, LUC inspections will continue and 2 groundwater monitoring wells will also be sampled.
Site DP005
The site is located adjacent to an area of the ARB that was previously used as a fuel storage area. Previous site environmental investigations identified VOCs and SVOCs in groundwater at concentrations above MCLs on site. LNAPL and dissolved-phase groundwater contaminants were remediated through the use of dual phase vacuum extraction over a 4-year period.
Although VOCs and SVOCs have been removed to levels that will not impact nearby surface water bodies, these contaminants still exceed Georgia in-stream water quality standards and MCLs. Samples will be collected from 11 wells for fuels (TPH-GRO, -DRO, -ORO) analysis. LUCs and LTM activities are required to monitor remaining contaminants in groundwater.
The environmental questions being asked:
June 2017 20
What are the current concentrations and extent of metals at site LF001, VOCs at site FT002, and fuels at site DP005 in groundwater?
At what rate are COCs degrading in groundwater?
Are controls in place to manage the COCs remaining in groundwater at the sites?
Synopsis of Previous Investigations:
For additional information about the sites, refer to the Facility-Wide UFP-QAPP for Performance-Based Remediation at Air Force Plant 6 and Dobbins ARB, Worksheet #10.
The possible classes of contaminants and the affected matrices:
The classes of contaminants that will be sampled at DP005 are TPH-GRO, -DRO, and -ORO.
Historically this site has been sampled for VOCs and SVOCs. Sampling has found VOCs and SVOCs in concentrations above the MCLs for groundwater and above Georgia water quality standards for surface water. Site LF001 will be sampled for metals and according to the Decision Document for Past Base Landfill LF001 (May 2000) the concentration for Antimony (23.4 µg/L) was in exceedance of the GA Type III Risk Reduction Level of 6 µg/L. Site FT 02 will be sampled for VOCs and according to the Decision Document for Past Fire Training Area FT-02 (May 2000) the concentration for Trichloroethene (6.98 µg/L) was in exceedance of the GA Type III Risk Reduction Level of 5 µg/L.
Rationale for inclusion of chemical and nonchemical analyses:
Historical site characterization efforts have found concentrations exceeding regulatory limits;
therefore, samples collected in this investigation will be analyzed in the laboratory for metals (LF001), VOCs (FT002), and fuels (DP005) to monitor contamination.
Stabilization parameters (dissolved oxygen [DO], oxidation reduction potential [ORP], pH, temperature, specific conductivity, and turbidity) will be monitored during low flow purging methods prior to collecting samples at each well. Achieving stabilization of these parameters will ensure that all stagnant waters within the well are removed and are replaced by groundwater from the adjacent formation that is representative of actual aquifer conditions.
Project decision conditions (if/then statement):
If, after this round of annual sampling, contamination continues to be above MCLs, then additional rounds of sampling will be required for LTM.

WORKSHEET 11 – PROJECT/DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES
What are the goals of the study?
This project is intended as part of a LTM plan for sites DP005, LF001, and FT002. One round of low-flow groundwater sampling will be conducted from 15 monitoring wells and samples will be analyzed by an analytical laboratory. This will provide additional data on the levels of remaining contamination at the sites. The data will be documented in a LTM Report which will provide information on all previous activities performed at the site and recommendations for future management.
What are the information inputs?
A single round of groundwater monitoring data will be collected and analyzed. This data will help track the progress of natural attenuation and be used to evaluate LUCs utilized at all sites.
Groundwater quality data will also be used to help determine future action at the three sites where groundwater samples will be collected.
What is the analytic approach?
Data obtained from this round of groundwater monitoring will be instrumental in developing long-term land management strategies for the sites. Any existing contamination on these sites must be reduced below MCLs to be protective of human health and the environment.
Results of this sampling will help to determine the rate at which contamination levels are reaching the MCLs and will provide for the development of future sampling plans and other LUCs.
Where, when, and how should the data be collected/generated?
Field activities will tentatively take place in the Fall of 2017. Groundwater samples will be collected from the 15 site wells one time using AFCEC-approved low-flow sampling methods.
On-site monitoring well samples will be field analyzed for DO, ORP, pH, temperature, specific conductivity, and turbidity to ensure stabilization of the well prior to sampling. On-site samples will also be analyzed for Metals at LF001 (D1-W12 and D1-W13), VOCs at FT002 (D2- W7 and D2-W23), Fuels at DP005 (D5-W11R, D5-W35, D5-W36, D5-W47R, D5-W51, D5-W52, D5-W54, D5-W55, D5-W56, D5-W57, and D5-W58) for contaminant delineation and migration. The groundwater samples will be sent to an analytical laboratory which will generate analytical data. Data results will be reviewed after completion of the sampling round and summarized in a report.
Data Reporting
Upon receipt of all analytical results and completion of data analysis, Bhate will prepare a
June 2017 22 report of findings. Other relevant information to be included in the report include the laboratory analytical reports, analytical data summary tables, figures with sample locations and groundwater surface contours, LUC inspection forms for each site, disposal documentation, and an interpretation of results.
QA/QC activities and results will be documented in a QA/QC section of the report. These summaries of QA/QC activities will assess the performance of measurement systems and data quality based on the following information:
Data QA reviews, including assessment of accuracy, precision, completeness, and representativeness;
Significant QA issues discovered, corrective actions taken, and recommendations for future actions; and
Any significant deviations from the Program QAPP or applicable QAPP Addendum.
In the event of an emergency, or in case it is essential to implement corrective action immediately, reporting may consist of verbal conversations with appropriate personnel. A summary of the emergency events and implemented corrective action will be included in the QA/QC section.

WORKSHEET 17 – SAMPLING DESIGN AND RATIONALE
Describe and provide a rationale for choosing the sampling approach:
Previous site investigations have identified VOC and SVOC contamination above MCLs and State of Georgia in-stream water quality standards. Action has been taken to reduce contamination, including removal of LNAPL to a non-detect status and reduction of dissolved and vapor phase hydrocarbons. Semiannual and annual sampling has been performed in previous years to monitor decreasing levels of contamination and evaluate the effectiveness of LUCs/LTM activities. Results from the proposed round of sampling will be used for similar purposes, including recommendations for future activities.
Given that previous information exists about the site and the sampling will be conducted from previously installed and sampled monitoring wells, the judgmental type of sampling will be used. Sampling is being conducted primarily to track reduction of contamination over time and develop strategies for future site management.
Describe the sampling design and rationale in terms of what matrices will be sampled, what analytical groups and at what concentration levels, the sampling locations (including QC, critical, and background samples), the number of samples to be taken, and the sampling frequency (including seasonal considerations):
Fifteen existing groundwater monitoring wells will be sampled (see Worksheet 18) via low- flow methods. These monitoring well locations have been selected by the RPM and are representative of the site and will be identified using the sample location maps (Figures 2, 3, and 5). Low-flow sampling methods will be used for the collection of groundwater samples to reflect the total mobile organic and inorganic loads (dissolved and colloidal sized fractions) transported through the subsurface under ambient flow conditions, with minimal physical and chemical alterations from sampling procedures. Each sample will be analyzed in the field for DO, ORP, pH, temperature, specific conductivity, and turbidity to determine stabilization. Once groundwater conditions stabilize, chemical samples will be collected. The operational criteria for DO, ORP, specific conductance, pH, and temperature are three successive readings at 5-minute intervals within the following ranges (USACE, 2002):
Parameter Criteria
Turbidity <50 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)
DO ± 10% above 1 mg/L or ± 0.1 mg/L below 1 mg/L
ORP ± 10 millivolts (mV)
Specific conductance ± 20 micromhos per centimeter (µmhos/cm) pH ± 0.1 standard units
Temperature ± 0.5 Degrees Celsius (°C)
June 2017 36
Chemical samples will be analyzed in the laboratory for metals at LF001, VOCs at FT002, and fuels at DP005. QC groundwater samples (duplicates) will be collected during the sampling event and sent to the primary laboratory. Additionally, trip blanks per cooler containing VOCs and GRO will be included with the samples shipped to the lab for analysis.
