About this file

This document is a Monthly Progress Summary Report from KOMAN Government Solutions, LLC/Trinity (KGS/Trinity) for the Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring (OM&M) of a biosparge system at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut. The report covers January 2025 activities for Zones 1 and 2, detailing system performance, maintenance rounds, and light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) recovery. Key findings include 173 hours of system downtime due to freezing conditions and overvoltage alarms, with the desired flowrates of 4.0 and 3.0 actual cubic feet per minute achieved at different well sections. LNAPL was detected and recovered from multiple monitoring wells, with a total of 71.90 gallons removed to date.

The report includes attachments such as recorded O&M observations, an LNAPL gauging and recovery summary table, and a weekly system log. Planned activities for February 2025 include a system maintenance round on 05 February, LNAPL gauging and recovery, and addressing comments on the Annual Report (2024). Notable issues include two biosparge wells (BSW-01 and BSW-02) being inaccessible due to partial asphalt patches, and a recommendation to replace monitoring well 1MW9, which was destroyed during a water line repair. The contract number is N4008523D0073 with Task Order N4008524F6461, and the report is addressed to Mr. Joseph McCloud at NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic.

RE: Monthly Progress Summary Report – January 2025

Zones 1 and 2 Biosparge System Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring (OM&M) Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, CT Contract# N4008523D0073/Task Order# N4008524F6461

Dear Mr. McCloud, KOMAN Government Solutions, LLC/Trinity (KGS/Trinity) is pleased to provide this January 2025 Monthly Progress Summary Report, detailing a summary on the Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring (OM&M) for the biosparge system located in Zone 1 and 2, Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, CT:

1. OM&M Activities – January 2025

a. Performed weekly remote checks on system performance.

b. On-site system maintenance round was completed on 03 January 2025.

i. KGS/Trinity tech recorded observations.

1. Observations attached.

c. Overall, the system is running as designed.

d. Several faults caused the system to shutdown for a total of 173 hours of downtime in January. These faults were due to either freezing conditions, and/or over voltage alarms that shut the system down.

As documented in an email correspondence between the Contractor, NAVFAC, and members of the B.29 Power Station (dated 10 January 2025), B.29 had to operate using the emergency diesel generator. The generator yields varying voltages which would explain the overvoltage to the biosparge system.

e. The desired flowrate of 4.0 actual cubic feet per minute (acfm) at BSW-02 to BSW-12 was achieved.

f. The desired flowrate of 3.0 acfm at BSW-13 thru BSW-30 was achieved. The system is still equalizing since being turned on in October 2024.

g. Light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) gauging occurred on 03 January 2025. LNAPL was detected in monitoring wells 1MW4, 1MW11, and TMW5 at estimated thicknesses of 1.0, 0.1, and 0.7 feet, respectively.

h. LNAPL recovery at 1MW4, 1MW11, and TMW5 was conducted on 03 January 2025. A peristaltic pump was used to recover 0.5, 0.5, and 2.0 gallons of LNAPL, respectively. To date, 71.90-gallons of LNAPL have been removed at the site. A tracking summary sheet is provided as an attachment to this monthly report.

2. Submittals

a. December 2024 Monthly Report - 03 January 2025.

b. Draft Annual Report (2024) – 30 January 2025.

KOMAN Government Solutions, LLC Subsidiary of the Natives of Kodiak

3. Next Month (February 2025) Planned O&MM Activities

c. Next System Maintenance Round is tentatively scheduled for 05 February 2025. This will include:

1. LNAPL gauging and recovery.

d. Address stakeholder comments on Annual Report (2024).

4. Issues and Concerns

e. BSW-01 remains inaccessible due to a partial asphalt patch over the well cover.

f. BSW-02 remains inaccessible due to a partial asphalt patch over the well cover as denoted in the

June Monthly O&M Report. This well is receiving required flowrate.

g. As indicated in the January 2023 Monthly report, 1MW9 had been destroyed by others during an excavation to repair a main water line. Recommend installing a replacement well as this well serves to monitor concentrations just before they enter the Thames River.
