EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Annual Monitoring Report has been prepared to describe the annual groundwater monitoring event conducted in August 2022 at Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 16 at Joint Base Charleston (JBC) Weapons located in Charleston, South Carolina. This project is being conducted under Performance-Based Remediation Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, in support of the Environmental Restoration Program at JBC Weapons.

Groundwater monitoring is completed at SWMU 16 in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous Waste Permit SC8 170 022 620 (RCRA Permit) issued to JBC Weapons by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC).

The objective of this document is to summarize and evaluate the results of the August 2022 groundwater monitoring event and to provide recommendations for future groundwater monitoring.

The annual groundwater monitoring event discussed in this report was completed on August 9, 2022 and marks the seventh annual long-term monitoring event since the landfill cover was installed following SCDHEC's selection of the soil remedy for this site. The monitoring event consisted of the following activities:

• Collecting water level measurements from four monitoring wells;

• Collecting groundwater samples from four monitoring wells for volatile organic compounds

(VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and target analyte list (TAL) metals, and

• Conducting the land use control (LUC) and Landfill operation and maintenance (O&M) inspection.

Annual groundwater monitoring at SWMU 16 is currently conducted in accordance with the referenced JBC Weapons RCRA Permit. Groundwater monitoring is undertaken at four monitoring wells: 16MW02S, 16MW03S, 16MW04S, and 16MW05S. Groundwater samples are collected and analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, and TAL metals, minus mercury. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the temperature blank reading shipped with the samples was 19.4 degrees Celsius, above the threshold for analysis for VOCs and SVOCs. Due to this, the VOC and SVOC samples were required to be collected again. This additional sampling was completed on August 23, 2022.

In the 2022 analytical groundwater summary, exceedances of arsenic and manganese were detected in monitoring well 16MW03S at concentrations of 14 micrograms per liter (µg/L) and 540 µg/L, respectively, exceeding the project action limits (PAL) of 10 µg/L and 430 µg/L. Arsenic is a site contaminant of concern and the PAL for arsenic is the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL). Manganese is not a site COC and the PAL for manganese is the USEPA Region Screening Level for tap water, hazard quotient = 1, May 2022. VOCs and SVOCs did not exceed the PALs during the sampling event. The 2022 sampling results are generally consistent with previous sampling results. This document also compiles and presents the ongoing semi-annual LUC and Landfill O&M inspections. A detailed description of these inspections may be found in Section 1.5 and Section 2.2.

Based on the results of 2022 groundwater monitoring, the following are recommended for future monitoring events at SWMU 16:

• Continue annual groundwater sampling for VOCs, SVOCs, and TAL metals, minus mercury, from the four SWMU 16 monitoring wells.

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 ES-2 BWJ140078

• Continue annual LUC and Landfill O&M inspections.

• Continue annual water level data collection from the four SWMU 16 monitoring wells. The water levels will be collected during the annual LUC and Landfill O&M Inspections and during groundwater sampling events.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Authorization

This Annual Monitoring Report has been prepared to document activities conducted at the site throughout the 2022 calendar year, including the annual land use control (LUC) inspection and annual groundwater monitoring event conducted in August 2022, at Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 16 at Joint Base Charleston (JBC) Weapons located in Charleston, South Carolina.

This project is being conducted under Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), in support of the Environmental Restoration Program at JBC Weapons.

1.2 Objective and Scope

The objective of the annual monitoring event at SWMU 16 is to comply with the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Permit issued to JBC Weapons by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC).

The objective of this document is to summarize and evaluate the results of the August 2022 groundwater monitoring event and to provide recommendations for future monitoring. This document also compiles and presents the ongoing LUC and landfill operation and maintenance (O&M) inspections.

1.3 Site Description and Location

Site Name: Old Southside Landfill RCRA Permit Stage: LUC/Groundwater Monitoring JBC Weapons is located 10 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina, and approximately 16 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The facility is situated in two counties, Berkeley and Charleston, and occupies 16,868 acres. SWMU 16 is located in the southern part of JBC Weapons, in the flood plain of the Cooper River. SWMU 16 encompasses about 13 acres and is partially within the tidal marsh zone of Goose Creek. A site location map for SWMU 16 is included as Figure 1-1.

SWMU 16 was the primary landfill used for disposal of liquid and solid wastes generated at JBC Weapons between 1941 and 1978. Solid waste included household waste, construction and demolition debris, empty containers from shop areas, metal waste, and occasional ordnance items. Additionally, approximately 500 mercury batteries were disposed of at random locations in the landfill, as well as 90-millimeter shells, approximately 40 of which were removed in 1980.

Liquid wastes included oily wastes and solvents which were disposed of at the site annually. In 1980, the landfill was closed, and a portion was covered with approximately two feet of local soil fill. SWMU 16 was graded prior to covering with soil, to cover the rubbish and provide drainage for the site. Riprap was installed along the edge of the marsh.

1.4 Previous Investigations and Corrective Actions

Several investigations have been conducted at SWMU 16. An Interim RCRA Facility Assessment was conducted from 1983 through 1988 (Kearney/Centaur Division, 1988). A RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) was conducted at the site between 2000 and 2008 (Tetra Tech, 2008). In 2000, a geophysical survey, monitoring well installation and sampling, surface and subsurface soil sampling, surface water and sediment sampling, staff gauge installation, measurement of multiple synoptic groundwater levels, aquifer testing, and a tidal study were conducted at SWMU 16 (Tetra Tech, 2008). Subsequently, additional groundwater investigation continued through 2005. The

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 1-2 BWJ140078

RFI included a human health and ecological risk assessment; the risk assessments indicated a Corrective Measures Study (CMS) was warranted.

A CMS was undertaken in 2011 (Tetra Tech, 2011) to identify media cleanup standards, develop corrective measures objectives, screen corrective measures technologies, develop measures alternatives, conduct detailed analysis of corrective measures alternatives, and recommend a corrective measures alternative. The CMS was revised in 2012, and the final document was approved by SCDHEC in June 2012. The Final CMS found that significant potential health risk existed primarily as a result of exposure to lead in surface soil at one localized hot spot in a debris pile area in addition to other contributions for risk, including the semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (BEHP) and the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Aroclor-1254, based on concentrations detected at the same hot spot location for surface soil. Contaminants of concern (COCs) identified in soil at SWMU 16 were BEHP, Aroclor-1254, and trichloroethene (TCE). COCs identified in groundwater included 1,1,2,2-tetrachlorethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE), 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, cis-1,2-DCE, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, TCE, tetrachloroethene, vinyl chloride, arsenic, BEHP, and beryllium.

The Final CMS was written for both SWMU 16 and the adjacent site, SWMU 17, (Tetra Tech, 2011) and recommended a permeable vegetative soil cover with LUCs, selected debris removal, and hot spot soil removal. The groundwater remedy recommended active treatment by enhanced bioremediation in the area of the high-concentration TCE plume and secondary methods including monitored natural attenuation, monitoring, LUCs, and phytoremediation for the balance of the plume. The high-concentration areas of the TCE plume are within SWMU 17. SCDHEC approved the final CMS in June 2012; the Statement of Basis for SWMU 16 was subsequently prepared and included a permeable vegetative cover with LUCs, select debris removal, and hot spot removal for soil. The groundwater remedy of enhanced bioremediation of the TCE plume focused on SWMU 17 and extended the SWMU 17 boundary slightly to the west to address any potential TCE contamination remaining on SWMU 16. The SWMU 16 and SWMU 17 boundaries can be seen in Figure 2-1. For the sake of brevity and simplicity, reference documents pertaining to former known or suspected sources of groundwater contamination originating from the landfill are cited within this section and not on Figure 2-1. Enhanced bioremediation is presently on-going at SWMU 17 (Joint Base Charleston Weapons, 2013).

In 2012, SCDHEC further approved the Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) 100 percent (%) Design Package (Tetra Tech, 2012), which included the basis of design, design drawings, and a specification package for the CMS recommending alternatives for SWMU 16 soil. In 2015, SCDHEC approved the SWMU 16 Draft CMI Construction Completion Report (CCR) (CAPE Environmental Management, Inc. [CAPE], 2015b). Comments on the report included the determination that the remedy for SWMU 16 soil would be the removal of the contaminated hot spot soil (i.e., lead), removal of surface debris, installation of a landfill cover system, and LUCs.

The location of the former contaminated hot spot soil is included in the CCR. In addition, the remedy for SWMU 16 groundwater was selected to be continued monitoring with LUCs. CAPE completed the excavation of the hot spot at SWMU 16 (CAPE, 2015b), and at the completion of the excavation and the installation of the landfill cover in September 2015, monitoring re-commenced. The first year of monitoring was conducted by EnviroSmart on behalf of CAPE. In September 2016, monitoring transitioned to AECOM as part of the JBC performance-based remediation contract. As part of the 2020 Annual Monitoring Report, a recommendation was made to remove biennial sampling for pesticides, PCBs and mercury from the sampling protocol (AECOM, 2021). This recommendation was approved by SCDHEC in a letter dated February 24, 2021.

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 1-3 BWJ140078

1.5 Land Use Controls

LUCs are included in the remedy for SWMU 16 as cited in the JBC Weapons RCRA Permit. LUCs were selected as part of the remedy in the approved 2012 CMS for SWMU 16. The LUCs include restricted site access, digging restrictions, and a prohibition on installation of drinking water wells.

Landfill O&M inspections and LUC inspections are conducted annually (August 9, 2022). As part of the 2020 Annual Monitoring Report, a recommendation was made to reduce inspection frequency from semi-annual to annual (AECOM, 2021). This recommendation was approved by SCDHEC in a letter dated February 24, 2021. A copy of the 2022 LUC inspection checklists may be found in Appendix A. Inspections are conducted using the most recent site-specific LUC Monitoring Checklist in accordance with the JBC Weapons RCRA Permit. Further discussion of LUC inspections and O&M activities may be found in Section 2.2.

1.6 Site Hydrology

Groundwater elevations calculated during the 2022 monitoring event ranged from 0.41 to 1.65 feet above mean sea level (amsl). Overall groundwater flow direction is generally towards the east in the area of SWMU 16. The general direction of groundwater flow at both low and high tide as determined in 2011 is shown in Figure 2-1. Water levels at high tide were not able to be collected in 2022 as the wells, which are located within the tidal marsh zone of Goose Creek, were inaccessible. Water levels are generally not collected at high tide due to the significant safety hazard to field staff. The potentiometric map generated by data collected in 2022 is shown in Figure 2-2. Additional details concerning the water level measurements obtained during the August 2022 monitoring event are provided in Section 2.1.1.

1.7 Precipitation and Recharge

JBC Weapons is situated in a temperate to subtropical climate with mild winters, hot and humid summers, and significant rainfall all year long. Average daily temperatures in the summer range from 78 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to 82°F, with daily highs averaging between 87–91°F. The coastal location results in a cooling effect, which often helps keep temperatures several degrees cooler than those inland. Summer is the area’s wettest season, with 41% of total rainfall occurring during this period. However, cooling afternoon showers or thunderstorms are responsible for much of this rain.

From the start of autumn in late September continuing into early November, the weather is typically sunny, and temperature extremes are rare. Pre-winter cold spells generally occur by late November. In September, temperatures average 76°F. By November, the average daily temperature has fallen to 58°F. December through February is generally mild, with periods of rain and a slight chance of snow flurries in late December and early January. Daily temperatures average between 47–52°F. The region generally experiences its first freeze in early December, with the last freeze in late February (TEC-BSC Joint Venture, 2013).

Temperatures of 20°F or below rarely occur. From early March into early June, average temperatures range from 58–72°F (TEC-BSC Joint Venture, 2013).

1.8 Human Health Risk Evaluation

The Final CMS concluded that there was a significant potential health risk for current/future trespassers, current/future occupational workers, and future construction/excavation workers primarily as a result of exposure to lead in surface soil at one hot spot location from a debris pile area. Also, for the current/future occupational worker, other contributors to risk were BEHP and Aroclor-1254 based on concentrations detected at the same hot spot location for surface soils.

COCs identified in soil at SWMU 16 in the CMS were BEHP, Aroclor-1254, and TCE (TCE is also

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 1-4 BWJ140078 a COC within soil at nearby SWMU 17). The majority of COCs in SWMU 16 soil were removed as part of hot spot removal during the CMI. COCs identified in groundwater included 1,1,2,2-tetrachlorethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1-DCE, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, cis-1,2-DCE, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethene, vinyl chloride, BEHP, arsenic, and beryllium.

1.9 Ecological Risk Evaluation

A screening-level ecological risk assessment for SWMU 16 was conducted as part of the RFI.

Based on the SWMU 16 RFI, concerns were raised that execution of the CMS activities might cause harm to ecological receptors. Upon further evaluation no significant ecological risks were associated with surface soil, sediment, or surface water, although localized impacts were associated with removal of the debris pile hot spot (CMS activities) as noted in the Statement of Basis for SWMU 16 (JBC Weapons, 2013).

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 2-1 BWJ140078

ANNUAL MONITORING EVENT ACTIVITIES

2.1 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Activities

The 2022 annual monitoring at SWMU 16 was completed on August 9, 2022 and August 23, 2022. The monitoring event consisted of the following activities:

• Collecting water level measurements from four monitoring wells (Table 2-1); and

• Collecting groundwater samples from four monitoring wells analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 8260B, SVOCs by USEPA Method 8270D, target analyte list (TAL) metals (minus mercury) by USEPA Method 6020B in accordance with the approved revised list of sampling parameters for SWMU 16 (SCDHEC, 2017). Groundwater sampling logs are found in Appendix B. See Table 2-2 for a summary of analysis by monitoring well. See Appendix C for the laboratory report listing all analytes and analytical methods.

The four shallow monitoring wells that were gauged for water levels and sampled in August 2022 are 16MW02S, 16MW03S, 16MW04S, and 16MW05S. Well construction details are provided in Table 2-1.

2.1.1 Water Level Measurements

A groundwater level measurement was collected from each of the four monitoring wells prior to purging and sampling. Water level measurements were made to the nearest 0.01 foot using an electric water level meter. The water level meter was decontaminated between monitoring wells to avoid cross contamination. Monitoring well construction information and 2022 groundwater elevations are included in Table 2-1.

Groundwater elevations in the four shallow monitoring wells gauged in August 2022 at low tide ranged from 0.41 to 1.65 feet amsl. Groundwater measurements during high tide could not be collected as the high tide prevented safe access to the wells. It is believed that high and low tides directly influence groundwater flow at SWMU 16 when compared to other sites in close proximity to Goose Creek or the Cooper River (SWMU 17). Groundwater flow in the shallow aquifer is generally towards the east, as indicated in Figure 2-1 and confirmed through previous groundwater elevation monitoring events. Groundwater flow during high tide as presented and noted on Figure 2-1 was determined during the 2011 monitoring event. A potentiometric map generated from low tide data showing the direction of groundwater flow during the August 2022 monitoring event is presented in Figure 2-2.

2.1.2 Groundwater Sampling

The locations of the monitoring wells are shown on Figure 2-1 and a summary of analysis by well is presented in Table 2-2. Groundwater samples were collected on August 9, 2022 and August 23, 2022 in accordance with the RCRA Permit using low-flow sampling techniques described in Worksheet #14 of the Uniform Federal Policy – Quality Assurance Project Plan, Performance Based Remediation, Basewide Groundwater and Land Use Control Monitoring, Joint Base Charleston (UFP-QAPP) (Bay West, 2016). Water quality indicator parameters were measured periodically during purging using a water quality meter with an inline flow-through cell. Water quality parameters included temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and turbidity. Purging was considered complete when parameters were stable for at least three consecutive readings within the limits defined in the UFP-QAPP Stabilization Criteria table (Bay West, 2016). Table 2-3 presents a summary of the field

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 2-2 BWJ140078 parameters collected at the conclusion of purging, immediately prior to sampling. These data are consistent with previous sampling. Groundwater sampling logs may be found in Appendix B.

A duplicate sample was collected from 16MW02S for all parameters listed in Table 2-2. A matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) was collected at 16MW05S. A trip blank was sent with the cooler containing VOCs. An equipment blank was not collected as sampling equipment and materials were disposable. All samples were sent to Pace Analytical Services, LLC (Pace, formerly Shealy Environmental Services, Inc.) of Columbia, South Carolina (SCDHEC Certification Number 32010001). Upon arrival at the laboratory, the temperature blank reading was 19.4 degrees Celsius, above the threshold for analysis for VOCs and SVOCs. Due to this, the VOC and SVOC samples were required to be collected again. This additional sampling was completed on August 23, 2022.

Investigation-derived waste was transported to the Base hazardous waste storage area for temporary storage. All purge water was containerized and secured in 55-gallon drums pending transport by Envirosmart. Following disposal, the final waste manifest and certificate of disposal will be delivered to the JBC hazardous waste department for their records. Copies of the non-hazardous waste manifest and certificate of disposal will be maintained by AECOM.

2.2 LUC and Landfill Operation & Maintenance Inspections

Landfill O&M inspections and LUC inspections are conducted annually as part of the CMI Work Plan for SWMU 16 (Cape, 2015a). The annual Landfill O&M inspection and LUC inspection took place on August 9, 2022, as presented in Appendix A. Review of the Site Inspection Checklist and LUC inspection notes that all fencing, signs, and security measures were in place and secure at the time of the inspection. Included in the 2022 annual LUC inspection are the Corrective Action Checklist, a photo set, and the annual LUC Site Inspection Checklist.

The straw wattles, installed around the north end of the drainage swale in 2017, were noted to be in good condition. Native spartina grass has started to grow in the area of the swale where erosion had been an issue, initially causing the wattles to be installed. Erosion mitigation measures were successful, and no additional mitigation or inspections are required at this time. Overall, the vegetative cover is doing well, and institutional controls are in place. The perimeter fencing (chain-link security fence) is in good condition.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS

3.1 Nature and Extent of Contamination

During the 2022 annual monitoring event, groundwater samples were collected from four monitoring wells (16MW02S, 16MW03S, 16MW04S, and 16MW05S) for analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and TAL metals (minus Mercury). A discussion of the results of the analytical sampling follows:

• No VOC or SVOC exceedances of project action levels (PALs) adopted from Worksheet #15 of the UFP-QAPP (Bay West, 2016) were detected during the 2022 monitoring event (Table 3-1).

• Arsenic exceeded the PAL of 10 micrograms per liter (µg/L) in 16MW03S at a concentration of 14 µg/L (Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1).

• Manganese exceeded the PAL of 430 µg/L in 16MW03S at a concentration of 540 µg/L (Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1).

Complete analytical results are presented as Appendix D. A summary of analytical detections in groundwater samples for the 2022 monitoring event is shown in Table 3-1. Laboratory Analytical Packages and Data Validation Reports are presented in Appendix C and Appendix E, respectively.

3.2 Nature of Contamination

Groundwater COCs identified in the 2012 CMS (Tetra Tech, 2012) included 1,1,2,2-tetrachlorethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1-DCE, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, cis-1,2-DCE, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethene, vinyl chloride, arsenic, BEHP, and beryllium (Tetra Tech, 2012).

In 2022, exceedances of arsenic and manganese were detected in monitoring well 16MW03S at concentrations of 14 µg/L and 540 µg/L, respectively, exceeding the PAL of 10 µg/L and 430 µg/L.

Arsenic is a site COC and the PAL for arsenic is the USEPA maximum contaminant level (MCL).

Manganese is not a site COC and the PAL for manganese is the USEPA Region Screening Level for tap water, hazard quotient = 1, May 2022. VOCs and SVOCs did not exceed the PALs during the sampling event. Table 3-1 presents a summary of the constituents detected at SWMU 16 and Figure 3-1 shows the location of the PAL exceedances during the 2022 monitoring event.

3.3 Extent of Contamination

During the 2022 groundwater monitoring event at SWMU 16, arsenic and manganese were detected above their respective PALs in monitoring well 16MW03S. The locations of the PAL exceedances are shown in Figure 3-1.

3.4 Data Validation

One hundred percent of the analytical data were reviewed based on USEPA National Functional Guidelines for Inorganic Superfund Methods Data Review (USEPA, 2017a), USEPA National Functional Guidelines for Organic Superfund Methods Data Review (USEPA, 2017b), Department of Defense (DoD) Consolidated Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories, version 5.3 (DoD, 2018), and the Uniform Federal Policy – Quality Assurance Project Plan for Performance-Based Remediation, Basewide Groundwater, Surface Water, and Land Use Control Monitoring (Bay West, 2016). The data validation process included review of chains-of-custody, sample condition receipt forms, field duplicate sample relative percent

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 3-2 BWJ140078 differences (RPDs), surrogate recoveries, method/trip blanks, laboratory control sample/laboratory control sample duplicate (LCS/LCSD) recoveries and RPDs, and MS/MSD recoveries and RPDs. Data was evaluated to verify the achievement of precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness, comparability, and sensitivity goals established to meet the project data quality objectives.

Results of the evaluation suggest representative samples were collected and analyzed, and the results are representative of the media analyzed. The overall quality of the data collected is discussed in the Data Validation Reports provided in Appendix X. Data qualifiers were added to the data as a result of the validation process (MS recoveries and MS/MSD RPDs); however, the data reflect expected site conditions and should be considered compliant and adequate for their intended purpose.

Contract FA8903-15-C-0016 4-1 BWJ140078

CONCLUSIONS

The following conclusions can be drawn following the August 2022 monitoring event.

• No exceedances of VOCs or SVOCs were detected during the 2022 monitoring event.

• Arsenic was detected in 16MW03S at a concentration of 14 µg/L, exceeding the PAL of 10 µg/L (Table 3-1). Arsenic is considered a SWMU 16 COC.

• Manganese was detected in 16MW03S at a concentration of 540 µg/L, exceeding the PAL of 430 µg/L (Table 3-1). Manganese is not considered a SWMU 16 COC.

• The August 2022 monitoring event presents results that are generally consistent with previous monitoring events at the site.

• The current monitoring well network is sufficient to meet the goals of annual groundwater monitoring (SCDHEC, 2015).

• The annual LUC Inspection during 2022 documented institutional controls are in place and functioning as intended and that the vegetative cover is in good condition. General maintenance to the vegetative cover, including mowing, was completed in 2022. In areas along the sides of the vegetative cover that are influenced by tidal action, native spartina grasses have sprouted now and partially cover these areas. Erosion along the northern drainage swale has been successfully mitigated using straw wattles and requires no additional mitigation or frequent inspections.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the results of 2022 groundwater monitoring, the following path forward is recommended for monitoring at SWMU 16:

1. Continue sampling for VOCs, SVOCs, and TAL metals, minus mercury, from the four SWMU 16 monitoring wells.

2. Continue annual LUC and Landfill O&M inspections.

3. Continue annual water level data collection from the four SWMU 16 monitoring wells. The water levels will be collected during the annual LUC and Landfill O&M Inspections and during annual groundwater sampling events.
