CASE NARRATIVE

In accordance with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Oakland Harbor Tier III Evaluation 2017 Maintenance Dredging and Suitability Determination Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) (USACE, 2017), herein referred to as the SAP, sediment samples were collected from April 10 through 21, 2017, from 10 composite sample areas (six within the Inner Harbor and four within the Outer Harbor). The results presented in this Sampling and Analysis Report are organized with respect to the SAP and the Master Sampling and Analysis Plan, USACE SF-District Operations and Maintenance Dredging (Master SAP) (USACE, 2014), herein referred to as the Master SAP. The results are evaluated with respect to suitability of dredged material placement at the San Francisco Deep Ocean Disposal Site (SF-DODS), which is an unconfined open ocean placement site, and at an upland beneficial use site. The acceptance criteria for Cullinan Ranch Restoration Project (CRRP) are used for the upland beneficial use evaluation.

Each composite sample from Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor federal channels (Oakland Harbor Channels) was comprised of four or five discrete sample locations of overlying materials collected from the mudline elevation to a depth of -52.0 feet mean lower low water (MLLW). Z-layer archive samples were collected at all discrete core locations from -52.0 to -52.5 feet MLLW, except for one Z-layer sample due to vibracore refusal in Composite Area 6. Composite samples were generated, processed, and shipped to analytical laboratories for Tier III analyses per the project SAP, including physical and chemical constituents, biological benthic toxicity tests, water column toxicity tests, modified elutriate tests, and bioaccumulation exposures.

With very minor exceptions, all field and laboratory procedures were conducted in accordance with the SAP and the Master SAP1. Appropriate field sampling quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures were taken to ensure the representativeness and integrity of the samples during sample collection, processing, and shipping. All appropriate laboratory QA/QC procedures were conducted, and the correct batch frequency was used. Complete data reports, including all QA/QC results and associated raw data, were produced by each laboratory. Several minor instances occurred in which reporting limits were not met or QA/QC sample results were outside of control limits; in these minor instances, all other associated QA/QC results were within control limits, the data quality was not affected, and the results were considered acceptable for interpretation. Sample identification numbers and the laboratories involved with sample collection and analyses are summarized in Table 1.

This report follows guidelines provided in the SAP, the Master SAP, Public Notice 99-04: Sampling and Analysis Plan (Quality Assurance Project Plan) Guidance for Dredging Projects within the San Francisco District (USACE, 1999), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater and Marine Organisms (USEPA, 2002).

Oakland Harbor Channels sediment screening included evaluation with respect to the SF-DODS reference database, CRRP acceptance levels, and bioaccumulation trigger values.

1 The target reporting limit for toxaphene in sediment is 50 µg/kg (with a detection limit of 14 µg/kg), which is higher than the Master SAP target reporting limit of 20 µg/kg. The target reporting limit for selenium in an aqueous extract (MET) is 1 µg/L (with a detection limit of 0.2 µg/L), which is higher than the Master SAP target reporting limit of 0.5 µg/L.

ADH Environmental 3

1. PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Port of Oakland (Port) is the second largest port on the West Coast of the United States and the fifth largest container port in the nation. Oakland Harbor Channels provide vital access for commercial vessels to the Port. Maintenance dredging of the Oakland Harbor Channels is required for safe navigation of the deep-draft commercial vessels accessing the Port. Without maintenance dredging, continued shoaling would create navigation hazards entering and exiting the channels.

Oakland Harbor Channels are dredged annually by USACE, San Francisco District, under the operations and maintenance dredging program (O&M). The congressionally authorized depth of both the Inner and Outer Harbor federal channels is -50 feet MLLW. USACE plans to dredge Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor federal channels to -50 feet MLLW plus an allowable overdepth of -2 feet in 2017.

The purpose of the 2017 sampling and analysis program is to confirm the suitability of O&M dredged sediment from Oakland Harbor Channels for various placement options. Suitability determinations are made herein for unconfined open ocean disposal at SF-DODS and for upland beneficial use.

1.1. Project Location and Description

The Oakland Harbor Channels are in the City of Oakland, on the eastern shore of central San Francisco Bay, immediately south of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (Figure 1).

The Inner Harbor Channel boarders the City of Oakland to the north and the City of Alameda to the south, and includes the first 3.75 miles of a longer channel which runs a continuous west to east path for 8 miles from Oakland to San Leandro Bay. The Outer Harbor Channel boarders the western waterfront of the City of Oakland. It runs directly south and nearly parallel to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for two-thirds of the channel length at an approximate distance of one-half mile from the bridge.

Based on the most recent hydrographic survey conducted in March 2017, the current shoaling present in Oakland Harbor Channels occurs throughout much of the channels. Some maintenance dredging is needed in all 10 composite areas in 2017. Removing shoaled sediment down to the historically maintained depth of -50 feet MLLW will produce approximately 108,000 cubic yards of material from the Inner Harbor and approximately 75,000 cubic yards of material from the Outer Harbor. Each foot of overdepth will produce approximately 192,000 cubic yards of material from the Inner Harbor and approximately 152,000 cubic yards of material from the Outer Harbor. Refer to Table 2 for details of estimated dredge material volumes from each reach within the Inner and Outer Harbor Channels. Refer to Figure 2 in Section 3 for the geographical delineation of all ten reaches and all ten composite areas.

For this project, shoaled material in Oakland Harbor Channels was characterized by collecting and analyzing 10 composite samples (eight of these were 4-point composites, and two of these were 5-point composites). A total of 42 discrete core sample locations were sampled, and material from each location consisted of the following:

Overlying material: samples collected from the mudline elevation down to the congressionally authorized depth plus -2 feet of allowable overdepth (-52 feet MLLW).

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – San Francisco District Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor Channels - 2017

ADH Environmental 4

Z-layer material: samples collected and archived from -52.0 to -52.5 feet MLLW. Z-layer material represents the sediment to be left in place at the new mudline elevation after dredging.

2. FIELD METHODS

The following subsections describe equipment cleaning, sample collection methods, sample processing methods, and sample handling procedures performed during field operations conducted within Oakland Harbor Channels from April 10 through 21, 2017.

2.1. Decontamination of Sampling Equipment

All aluminum core tubing, stainless-steel core cutter, catcher, sample processing trays and spoons, and the stainless-steel pipe dredge sampler were pre-cleaned prior to field deployment. In accordance with the Master SAP, cleaning of sample processing equipment and pipe dredge sampler consisted of thorough scrubbing with a biodegradable non-phosphate detergent, rinsing three times with tap water, scrubbing with the biodegradable non-phosphate detergent a second time, and rinsing three times with deionized water.

Initial cleaning of the aluminum core tubing and core cutter/catcher also included a steam cleaning procedure using a pressure washer following the initial detergent scrub.

During field sampling operations, all equipment was cleaned between coring locations, with the exceptions that steam cleaning was not performed and site water was used in place of tap water. For each coring attempt, the aluminum core tube was lined with new polyethylene plastic lining. Core extrusion/processing trays were cleaned in the field between each sampling location. The vibracore, aluminum core barrel, and the deck of the vessel were also rinsed with site water between each core sample. Clean stainless-steel mixing trays and spoons were used for processing discrete core samples and for each respective composite sample.

2.2. Sediment Core Sample Collection

The following subsections provide vibracore and vessel specifications, navigation and positioning methods, and vibracore sample collection procedures.

2.2.1. Vibracore Sampler and Vessel

Sediment core collection was performed using an electric powered vibracore sampler operated from aboard the 50-foot R/V Chinook. Both the vibracore sampler and R/V Chinook were provided and operated by TEG Oceanographic Services, Inc. of Santa Cruz, California. The vibracore head was attached to a 3/8-inch twisted wire rope threaded through a block connected to a fixed gantry mounted above the vessel’s moon pool. A 3-phase, 240-volt generator was used to power the vibracore. The vibracore sampler was deployed and retrieved through the vessel’s moon pool using the main electric winch. Attached to the vibracore head, the sediment coring apparatus consisted of an aluminum 4-inch diameter core barrel, a polyethylene plastic core liner for receiving the sediment core, and a stainless-steel cutting tip equipped with a stainless-steel fingered sediment catcher.

2.2.2. Navigation and Positioning

Prior to conducting field activities, target sample coordinates referenced to North American Datum of 1983, as provided by USACE, were programmed into the vessel’s Global Positioning System (GPS) plotter. GPS is a navigation system consisting of 24 satellites in six planes orbiting the Earth. GPS measures distances

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – San Francisco District Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor Channels - 2017

ADH Environmental 8 from multiple orbiting satellites to compute a geographic position. The positional accuracy of GPS is 4 meters or less.

To maintain an accurate location with respect to target sample coordinates, positioning of the R/V Chinook was achieved by setting two bow anchors and one stern anchor in opposing directions of the target sample location. Final positioning over the target sample location was made by adjusting the scope of one or more anchor rodes, as needed.

At each target location, water depth measurements were taken using an onboard depth sounder which was calibrated on the first day of the field effort. The sounder’s transducer was deployed through the moon pool very near to the vibracore’s deployment point. Following a depth measurement, tidal predictions from Yerba Buena Island, Matson Wharf and Oakland Inner Harbor tide gauges were used to correct depth measurements relative to MLLW. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s Physical Oceanographic Realtime System (PORTS) data were referenced daily to make offsets for observed versus predicted tidal elevations due to changes in local atmospheric pressure.

2.2.3. Sediment Coring Procedures

The vibracore sampler was lowered into the water until it approached the sediment surface, at which point it was turned on and allowed to advance itself by vibration into the sediment material until it reached or passed the required depth of penetration. Real-time penetration depth was measured using a fiberglass reinforced measuring tape fastened to the suspension bridal of the vibracore head. Upon completion of penetration, the vibracore barrel was slowly extracted from the sediment and brought aboard. The core cutter and catcher were removed, and the aluminum core tube was removed from the vibracore head. The polyethylene core liner containing the sediment sample was pulled from the core tube and placed in processing trays.

The actual location coordinates, collection date and time, tidally-corrected sediment elevation, core length penetration, core length recovery, standard observations, and sediment core descriptions were recorded on field log sheets. Copies of all field sediment sampling logs are presented in Appendix A.

Sediment coring included sediment collection to the project dredge depth plus an additional 0.5 feet Z-layer.

Sediment core samples were collected using an aluminum 4-inch diameter by 8-foot long core barrel. Any sediment collected below the Z-layer elevation was discarded overboard at the site of collection.

To satisfy all analytical testing and sample archive volume requirements, 68 liters of sediment was needed per composite area. Based on the latest bathymetric survey, the expected sediment volume per core location was calculated. From these calculations, it was determined three replicate core samples were needed at each location in Composite Areas 2 and 7, and four replicate core samples were needed at each location in all eight remaining composite areas (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10).

2.2.4. Sediment Core Sample Processing

Separate composite samples were generated for chemistry and biological analyses. This was performed to facilitate generation of the chemistry archive samples and ensure the integrity of all samples. The large volume of sediment required for biological analyses necessitated the storage of sampled material in large

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – San Francisco District Oakland Inner and Outer Harbor Channels - 2017

ADH Environmental 9 stainless-steel mixing cans. All sediment samples were thoroughly mixed (homogenized) and sub-sampled with clean stainless-steel mixing paddles and/or spoons. An electric powered mixing paddle was used to assist in the homogenization of the large sample for biological analysis (60 liters of sediment per composite area). All sample processing and sub-sampling was performed in the field aboard the R/V Chinook, as detailed below.

After the successful collection of a sediment core, each sample was placed in a processing tray. The core sample was re-measured for the length from ground surface to project depth. A protocol-cleaned knife was used to cut open the polyethylene liner containing the sample, thereby exposing the sediment for processing.

A protocol-cleaned, stainless-steel spoon was used to scrape away and discard the surface layer of each core and expose material not disturbed by contact with the cutting/catcher tip and polyethylene liner.

Sediment core characteristics (lithology) were recorded on field log sheets, including composition, texture, color, odor, and debris present. Following characterization, any sediment collected outside the target dredge depth was discarded overboard at the site of collection.

Representative chemistry composite sampling was performed by sub-sampling each core in proportion to its length, such that for each running foot of core length the same volume of material was sub-sampled.

Sub-sampling consisted of uniformly scraping sediment from the undisturbed center portion of each core using a protocol-cleaned stainless-steel spoon. For discrete and archive samples, the collected sediment was immediately homogenized until uniform in color and texture. Mixing was performed using a protocol-cleaned, stainless-steel mixing tray and spoon. For each discrete sample in a composite area, the same procedure was performed to obtain two 500 ml archive samples (one for storage at 4 ºC; one for storage at -20 ºC), after which the remaining sub-sample was stored on ice until all samples in the composite area were collected. Once all samples in a composite area were collected, a composite was made by homogenizing the sub-samples using volumes proportional to their respective core lengths. All sample processing and sub-sampling of discrete cores and composite samples was performed in the field aboard the sampling barge.

Mixing trays and samples were covered, labeled, stored on ice in coolers, and kept in the dark during all phases of processing and storage. Coolers were checked periodically and drained of excess water to ensure the sample containers were not overtopped by melt water. During all phases of sample processing, extreme care was taken to ensure the samples were not subject to any sources of contamination. The transfer of processed sediment from the stainless-steel tray to glass sample jars was also done in a place, time, and manner which minimized any contamination of the sample, transfer spoon or sample jar lids.

For the larger biological testing composite samples, additional cores were initially processed in the same manner as those for the chemistry composite samples, except all sample material was placed into large stainless-steel batch cans. The batch cans were covered with stainless-steel lids until homogenization with an electric powered stainless-steel mixing paddle. Approximately 60 liters of homogenized sediment per composite area was generated and transferred into three double-layered, food-grade polyethylene bags, and was kept in coolers on ice until delivery to the toxicology laboratory.

2.2.5. Pipe Dredge Sampling Procedures and Sample Processing

Due to the inability of the vibracore sampler to collect soft, unconsolidated overlying material at all four sample locations within Composite Area 6, a pipe dredge sampler was used to obtain overlying material (i.e., dredge material above -52 feet MLLW). Though the vibracore sampler was ineffective in collection of material above -52 feet, Z-layer samples within Composite Area 6 were successfully collected with the vibracore sampler except for location OAK-2017-6-4, where no Z-layer sample was collected due to vibracore refusal.

One 10-gallon stainless-steel pipe dredge sampler was deployed with a 3/8-inch twisted wire rope threaded through a block connected to a movable steel A-frame affixed to the bow of the vessel. Deployment was initiated at the moment when the vessel was positioned over the site location coordinates. The deployment wire was payed out until it was obvious from a sudden increase in tension the dredge had made proper contact with the bottom. The pipe dredge sampler was then dragged a very short distance to ensure sediment capture. Upon retrieval, the sediment sample contained in the pipe dredge was assessed to ensure it consisted of benthic surface material and had not encountered significant “wash out” during retrieval.

Depending on the acceptability and volume of collected sediments, additional deployments of the pipe dredge were performed.

Acceptable bottom sediment was sub-sampled from each discrete sample location into a protocol-cleaned stainless-steel mixing tray. Material representative of the depth of the entire sample – and not in contact with the pipe dredge walls – was collected for the chemistry samples. Each sub-sample was thoroughly homogenized until uniform in color and texture, after which two 500 ml archive samples were collected.

The remaining sub-sample from each of the four discrete pipe dredge samples was similarly homogenized to generate the representative chemistry composite sample. All sediment samples were immediately processed, sub-sampled, stored on ice in coolers, and kept in the dark until transfer or shipping to the respective analytical laboratories.

2.3. Site Water Collection

Site water for water column toxicity tests and modified elutriate tests (MET) was collected within each of the 10 respective Oakland Harbor Channels composite areas from approximately 5 feet below the water surface. A 12-volt peristaltic pump sampler and clean Teflon™ tubing was used to collect the site water.

The tubing was thoroughly rinsed with site water prior to sample collection. Site water was pumped into laboratory-certified clean polyethylene cubitainers which were thoroughly rinsed three times with site water prior to sample collection. The filled cubitainers were sealed, labeled, and kept on ice and in the dark until delivery to the laboratory.

2.4. Field Documentation

Sediment sampling log forms and daily reports were completed in the field to document all aspects of the sampling effort. Data associated with each sediment core sample was documented on discrete coring log sheets, and included the following:

2.6. Shipping

Physical and bulk sediment chemistry samples were shipped to Australian Laboratory Services (ALS, formerly Columbia Analytical Services) of Kelso, Washington via FedEx on the next shipping day following the conclusion of each week of sediment sample collection and processing. Biological sediment and water samples were transported by ADH staff to Pacific EcoRisk (PER) of Fairfield, California immediately following the completion of each week’s field effort. ADH maintained custody of all samples until delivery to FedEx and PER. Sediment archive samples were transported to the Soquel office of ADH and were kept refrigerated or frozen, as appropriate, for a period of at least six months. All samples in glass jars were packed in bubble wrap, kept on ice, secured in coolers, and kept in the dark. Chain of custody documentation accompanied all samples during shipping. Copies of all chains of custody forms are included in the laboratory’s data reports and are presented in Appendix B.

3. FIELD SAMPLING RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Sediment sampling within Oakland Harbor Channels was performed by ADH and its subcontractors from April 10 through 21, 2017. Ten composite area samples (OAK-2017-1 through OAK-2017-10) were generated from 42 discrete sample locations of overlying material collected from the mudline elevation to a depth of -52.0 feet MLLW. Most sediment core sample locations were within very close proximity to the project target locations (less than 5 feet from the target). Only three of the sampling locations were greater than 10 feet from the target location (10.8 feet, 14.7 feet, and 27.4 feet for samples OAK-2017-9-1, OAK- 2017-5-1, and OAK-2017-7-4, respectively). In general, these sample points were relocated a short distance from the target location to account for vessel traffic concerns. All actual sampling locations were well within the federal channels. Refer to Table 3 and Figures 3 through 9 for the locations of actual versus target sample locations, including the distance of separation between actual and target locations (Table 3).

All dredge material samples were successfully collected to the maintenance dredge depth, plus -2 feet of overdepth (-52 feet MLLW). Z-layer archive samples were successfully collected at all discrete core locations from -52.0 to -52.5 feet MLLW, except for one Z-layer sample (OAK-2017-6-4) due to vibracore refusal. To obtain sufficient volume of overlying material at each core location for all the physical, chemical, biological and archive samples, a total of 147 discrete samples were collected. Generally, this included three to four replicate core samples for each of the 42 sample locations. In addition, eight pipe dredge samples were collected within Composite Area 6 due to the inability of the vibracore sampler to collect soft, unconsolidated material (refer to Section 2.2.5 for a description of pipe dredge sampling methods).

Sampling summaries detailing the collection date, time, weather conditions, water depth, core recovery, and number of replicate samples are presented in Table 4. Sediment sample descriptions are summarized in Table 5. All field sediment sampling logs are presented in Appendix A.
