STATEMENT OF WORK FOR SUPERFUND ARCHITECT-ENGINEER CONTRACT

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

WILLIAM J. HUGHES TECHNICAL CENTER FOR ADVANCED AEROSPACE

Draft dated January 6, 2025

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BACKGROUND

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace (FAA Technical Center) is a federally owned and operated Research and Development (R&D) facility encompassing an area of approximately 5,000 acres in Atlantic County, New Jersey, eight miles northwest of Atlantic City. The grounds and waters of the FAA Technical Center constitute the majority of the watershed for the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority (ACMUA). ACMUA provides drinking water to Atlantic City and nearby onshore communities. Both surface water and groundwater are used for this purpose.

In 1985, the ACMUA well field was in the process of being located on the FAA Technical Center; it was then the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued the FAA Technical Center an Administrative Consent Order for contamination of several areas on the property. Environmental Investigations performed from 1984 to the present have identified over thirty (30) areas of concern (AOCs) due to a variety of potential and actual environmental contamination conditions. The FAA Technical Center was placed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) on October 1, 1990.

Having achieved Superfund status, the FAA entered into a Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) with US EPA on May 17, 1993, which defines the US EPA’s role in the cleanup process and mandates the FAA’s requirement to remediate the site. As a result, the FAA Technical Center has a continuing requirement for Environmental Architect-Engineer (A/E) services for remedial investigations, feasibility studies, remedial designs and actions for a Federal NPL-listed Federal Facility.

One significant superfund risk issue is potential contamination of public drinking water supplies located on the FAA Technical Center property. The ACMUA owns the upper Atlantic City Reservoir and nine potable wells on the FAA Technical Center property. The North and South Branches of Absecon Creek and contiguous wetland complexes drain the facility into the Upper and Lower Atlantic City Reservoirs. Contaminants include chlorinated solvents, aviation and other fuels, pesticides, PCBs, heavy metals, and various species of mercury along with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Contaminants are present in the soil, ground water, surface water and biota. Unexploded ordinance from the Atlantic City Naval Air Station was discovered on two Areas of Concern. FAA also operates its own potable drinking water plant for all FAA employees and tenants on the FAA Technical Center including the Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey Air National Guard, Federal Air Marshalls, U.S. Coast Guard, and Homeland Security.

The FAA Technical Center is on the Outer Coastal Plain of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Both surface and ground waters are low pH waters. The upper, middle and lower Cohansey aquifers underlie the site.

OBJECTIVES

The FAA’s goal is to remediate the AOCs as required by the FFA and Records of Decisions (RODs) according to Federal, State, and Local requirements, while maintaining the FAA’s overall mission to continue to improve the National Airspace System. The objectives also include accelerated remediation to reduce FAA’s overall total environmental liability. In addition to Superfund laws, the FAA must maintain regulatory compliance with Federal and New Jersey laws, as applicable, regarding drinking water, surface water, underground storage tanks, storm water management, air pollution, environmental assessments, spill prevention, migratory birds, wetlands and floodplains, endangered and threatened species, waste reduction, and hazardous waste management.

These requirements include the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Occupational Safety and Health Act, National Historic Preservation Act, DOT rules for transportation of hazardous materials, Endangered Species Act (ESA), Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and Presidential Executive Orders on the Protection of Floodplains and Wetlands, Environmental Management Systems and other Environmental Directives; New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan; and FAA Orders 1050.19C, 1050.10D, 1050.1G, and 5610.1D.
