for

GROUNDWATER, and GAS MONITORING -

AREA B SANITARY LANDFILL

FORT DETRICK, MD

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide groundwater, and gas monitoring in

Area B, Fort Detrick Sanitary Landfill. This contract also requires annual topographic surveying at the Fort

Detrick Sanitary Landfill. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform groundwater, and gas monitoring, and topographic surveying in Area B, Fort Detrick Sanitary

Landfill as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: Fort Detrick is an active U.S. Army installation operated under the auspices of the U.S.

Army Installation Management Command. Fort Detrick’s Environmental Management Division is responsible for environmental compliance, conservation, restoration, and pollution prevention programs.

Fort Detrick includes six non-contiguous tracts of land (designated as Area A, Area B, Area C Water

Treatment Plant, Area C Wastewater Treatment Plant, Forest Glen Annex, and Glen Haven Annex. Areas

A, B, and C are located within the city limits of Frederick, Maryland. Area B is located 0.5 miles west of the center of Fort Detrick activity known as Area A. Area B is approximately 400 acres and includes Fort

Detrick’s active municipal landfill, former skeet range, former explosives storage, former waste disposal and test areas associated with former research activities, and open fields.

Fort Detrick is situated on the western side of the Frederick Valley in Maryland. The Frederick Valley is approximately 26 miles long and up to 6 miles wide, trending roughly north-south through the center of

Frederick County and into Pennsylvania. The Frederick Valley comprises the westernmost portion of the

Piedmont physiographic province. The bedrock geology of Area B can be summarized as Cambrian-age limestone of the Frederick Formation (Rocky Springs Station Member) dipping to the East-Southeast, overlain in places by the Triassic-age classics of the New Oxford Formation dipping to the West-

Northwest. The New Oxford Formation is present in the northern portion of Area B. The limestone conglomerate is dominant in Area B, based on drilling and outcrops, with the shale/claystone/sandstone capping the topographic high near Fort Detrick’s active, permitted lined municipal landfill in the northwest.

The Triassic bedrock was deposited over exposed Cambrian bedrock with an unconformity separating the two formations. The nature of the contact is not well known, and the thickness of the Triassic is variable, in part due to pre-dispositional topography of the Cambrian bedrock and in part due to erosion. Wells drilled to date in Area B in the Triassic do not appear to have intersected the underlying Cambrian. The limestones of the Rocky Springs Station Member are susceptible to chemical dissolution as slightly acidic rainfall infiltrates and moves through the rock. Secondary porosity becomes progressively enlarged creating void spaces and conduits for increased groundwater flow. Karst features are present at Area B, expressed both at the surface and in the subsurface. In Area B, groundwater is generally encountered at depths of 20-40 feet below ground surface.

Fort Detrick’s Area B has historically been used as a waste disposal area. There are a number of former disposal sites that were capped under the Army’s Installation Restoration Program. The municipal landfill was constructed in 1991. The municipal landfill liner partially covers a former disposal site known as B-3

West. The portion of B-3 West landfill that is not covered by the active landfill has been capped.

Fort Detrick’s municipal landfill permit issued by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) requires groundwater and gas monitoring in accordance with (IAW) Code of Maryland Regulations

(COMAR) 26.04.07.08B(17) and 26.04.07.09F, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
