5.2 Tasks

5.2.2 Task 1: Stormwater Sampling and Analysis

The below sections describe work for storm water sampling and analysis. Table 1 includes additional details on locations, access, required effort, frequency, and analyses. See Task 4 for reporting requirements.

5.2.1.1 Storm Water Outfalls

In accordance with the USAG Storm Water Discharge Sampling, Analysis and Monitoring Plan (SWMP) 2020, including Annex D and E, the Contractor shall conduct annual storm water sampling and analysis of all identified outfallsThere are 66 direct discharge points per the USAG SWMP.

. The SWMP is included in this PWS as Attachment 1. These sampling events only cover the requirements of the respective permit and legally required self-monitoring parameters in accordance with Bavarian self-monitoring ordinance (Eigenüberwachungsverordnung). There are 66 direct discharge points per the USAG SWMP.

5.2.1.2 Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), Katterbach Creek For the three (3) sampling points at storm water outlets into Katterbach Creek, as required by the City of Ansbach and listed in Permit “2018-11-14_174-111_Stadt Ansbach_UWA v.14.11.2018” Section 1.4.8 (PS105009A, PS103004, and PS103001) and outlined in SWMP, PFAS sampling shall be conducted according to the Bavarian State Office for Environment Guideline (Guidelines for the Preliminary Evaluation of PFAS Contamination in Water and Soils) for the assessment of PFAS contamination in soil and groundwater. Sampling and analysis for PFAS shall occur monthly at three sample locations discharging to Katterbach Creek. Sample locations are accessible by an off-post gravel road. Contractor should assume sSome sample locations may require access by walking.

5.2.1.3 Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), Milmersbach Creek In accordance with requirements outlined by Host Nation correspondence (Landratsamt Ansbach, March 2019) and discharge permits for Milmersbach Creek issue by the Nuernberg State Building Authority (2010), the Contractor shall perform quarterly PFAS sampling and analysis at the outletfive discharge locations to Milmersbach Creek. PFAS sampling mustshall be according to the Bavarian Guideline for the assessment of PFAS contaminations in soil and groundwater. Sample locations are both on-post and off-post and accessible by asphalt public road. In addition, quarterly flow rates must alsoshall be measured concurrent with quarterly PFAS sampling.

5.2.1.4 Dry Weather Sampling

The Contractor shall conduct annual dry weather sampling, analysis, and monitoring at storm water discharge points in support of the storm water illicit discharge program (locations listed in SWMP). The intent of this sampling is to identify groundwater infiltration into storm water pipes. The Contractor shall visit all discharge points during dry weather conditions (at least ten [10] preceding days without precipitation) to check for outflowing water. This water shall be sampled as technically feasible (i.e., sufficient volume of water available for sampling) and shall be analyzed. A sampling plan mustshall be prepared and coordinated with the CENAU PM andthe USAG POC prior to sampling. Sampling parameters shall be those under the SWMP and Bavarian self-monitoring requirements, and additionally including PFAS.

A total of 66 discharge points shall be inspected. The Contractor may assume that sampling will be feasible at 20 out of the 66 total locations, although the number of samples could vary between 15-25 samples. At these locations, grab samples of the discharging water shall be obtained and analyzed. An electronic summary report shall be provided to the USACE PM and GarrisonCOR after each sampling event, and a summary of results will be included.

5.2.3.1 Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (CHC), Bismarck Kaserne

The Contractor shall conduct quarterly CHC sampling and analysis at water production wells at Bismarck Kaserne and take flow measurements to provide capacity data in support of an industrial water production system in accordance with Permit #25676. Flow capacity measurements shall occur monthly and involves a simple flow rate measurement at the collector well (spring) downstream of the system. CHCs sampling shall occur quarterly at six

(6) different well and spring points associated with the system.

The six (6) sample points are in close proximity and sampled either from an existing tap in the system or directly from the waterbody. Points #1-#3 are valves on the system (at the inlet, after 1st filter, and after 2nd filter). Point #4 is at the collector well. Point #5 is at the outfall into a Hirnbach Creek. Point #6 is just downstream of the system at the pond. No specialized sampling equipment (e.g. pumps, tools) is required. The Contractor shall coordinate access to the treatment system with the designated USAG POC.

5.2.3.2 Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (CHC), Storck Barracks

The Contractor shall conduct annual sampling and analysis for CHC at two (2) industrial water production wells (Brunnen #1 and #4) at Storck Barracks, in accordance with permit from 20OCT2005. The two (2) sample points are in close proximity and are sampled either from an existing tap in the system or directly from the waterbody. No specialized sampling equipment (e.g. pumps, tools) is required. The Contractor shall coordinate access to the treatment system with the designated USAG POC.

5.2.4 Task 4: Reporting

After each sample event, the Contractor shall provide sampling protocols and analytical results to USAG Ansbach COR within ten (10) days.

The Contractor shall also provide quarterly reports to the USAG Ansbach COR for all samples except for PFAS. The Quarterly Report will contain separate sections for each type of sampling defined in Tasks 1-3 subtasks. Reports shall discuss the garrison compliance status, findings, deficiencies, and needed future actions. The intent of quarterly reporting is to describe the status and progress toward tasks, summarize sample results in comparison to prior sample events and host nation criteria, and identify issues that may have arisen throughout the year. If any sample results are higher than action levels, the Government must be informed within one (1) business day.
