About this file
This document is a 2023 Annual Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Report for Area of Contamination (AOC) A7, the Old Gravel Pit Landfill located at the former United States Army Sudbury Training Annex in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Prepared by SERES-Arcadis 8(a) JV 2, LLC for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New England District, the report details groundwater monitoring, landfill maintenance, and institutional control activities conducted in fall 2023. The monitoring focused on one well (SUDA7-19-01), with sampling and analysis for volatile organic compounds, organochlorine pesticides, and total cyanide. Laboratory results showed no analytes detected above limits of detection, with only a trace level of total cyanide detected.
The landfill cap and surrounding area were found to be in good condition during the November 3, 2023 inspection, with healthy vegetation, functional drainage systems, and intact gas vent systems. Institutional control interviews with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency revealed no significant changes in site use or increased exposure potential. The report recommends continuing annual mowing, inspections, and maintenance, with plans to potentially reduce monitoring frequency after 30 years of monitoring, given the consistent groundwater concentration levels over time. The next annual report presenting fall 2024 monitoring results is scheduled to be submitted in May 2025.

1 Introduction
SERES-Arcadis 8(a) JV 2, LLC (hereafter referred to as the S-A JV) prepared this 2023 Annual Long-Term
Monitoring and Maintenance Report (2023 Annual Report) to present results of the long-term monitoring and maintenance (LTMM) activities conducted in 2023 for Area of Contamination (AOC) A7, known as the Old Gravel
Pit Landfill, located at the former United States Army (Army) Sudbury Training Annex (Sudbury Annex). The report also presents inspection activities conducted at AOCs P31 and P58 (together termed the Sudbury Road
Dump). The S-A JV prepared this report on behalf of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – New
England District, under Contract Number W912WJ-19-D-0014.
The activities discussed in this 2023 Annual Report were conducted in accordance with the Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Plan (LTMMP; KOMAN Government Solutions, LLC [KGS] 2020). The LTMM activities were conducted to fulfill the requirements of the Record of Decision – Source Control Operable Unit: AOC A7, the Old
Gravel Pit Landfill; AOC A9: the Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants Burn Area (1995 SC ROD; O.H. Materials
Remediation Services Corporation 1995). This 2023 Annual Report also includes Institutional Control (IC) verification activities for AOCs P31 and P58.
1.1 Site Background
The Sudbury Annex was listed as a National Priorities List site from February 1990 through January 2002 under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. The former training annex occupies approximately
4.3 square miles (2,752 acres) in the Massachusetts towns of Hudson, Marlborough, Maynard, Stow, and
Sudbury. A site location map indicating the general site location and physical setting is presented as Figure 1.
Hudson Road/Sudbury Road divides the installation into a larger northern section and a smaller southern section.
The Sudbury Annex became part of the United States Army Garrison Fort Devens in 1982.
The Sudbury Annex was removed from the National Priorities List in January 2002. At that time, 2,205 acres were transferred to the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), 4.1 acres were transferred to the United States
Air Force, and 71.4 acres were transferred to the United States Department of Homeland Security Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
AOC A7, the Old Gravel Pit Landfill, is a 10-acre landfill located between Patrol Road and the Assabet River along the northern installation boundary (Figure 2). Access to the AOC A7 landfill is from Patrol Road or the
Assabet River Rail Trail via locked gates. The northern edge of the landfill is less than 100 feet from the Assabet
River at its closest point. The landfill is located on the northern lower slope and toe of a hill that slopes downward to the Assabet River.
The 1995 SC ROD for the source control (SC) of the operable unit (OU) at AOC A7 (O.H. Materials Remediation
Services Corporation 1995) was signed by the Army and the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) in September 1995. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) concurred with the 1995 SC ROD. The groundwater at AOC A7 was addressed via a management of migration OU ROD for groundwater at AOCs A7 and A9 (O.H. Materials Remediation Services Corporation 1997), which specified no further action including no land use controls (LUCs).
The selected source remedy included:
Removal and off-site disposal of chemical waste debris in the laboratory dump area
Construction of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 Subtitle C landfill cap to contain the remaining site contaminants of concern (COCs)
Operation and maintenance
Institutional controls and land use restrictions to limit future use of land at AOC A7
Long-term groundwater monitoring
Five-year reviews to assess whether the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment.
The 1995 SC ROD (O.H. Materials Remediation Services Corporation 1995) required LUCs to limit future use of
AOC A7. The LUCs for AOC A7 include a perimeter fence around the landfill cap area and the prohibition of use of groundwater as drinking water, which eliminate ingestion of groundwater exposure pathways. The LUCs required by the 1995 SC ROD are described in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Army and the current property owner, the USFWS, dated September 28, 2000. Additional information is provided in Section 6.4.
An addendum to the MOA prepared in 1999 included ICs at AOCs P31 and P58. These two AOCs comprise a section of land on the northeast side of Sudbury Road (Figure 3) where dumping occurred at some time before the closure of the Sudbury Annex, possibly even before the land became Army property. The portion known as
AOC P31 was the subject of a No Further Action decision in April 1999 following the conclusion of a March 1999 supplementary site investigation that documented sampling and metal debris removal actions (USACE 2001).
AOC P58, located northwest of AOC P31, was monitored by the Army through May 2001 for arsenic in groundwater at four wells. Sampling was discontinued at AOC P58 in 2002 and the monitoring wells were decommissioned.
The 1995 SC ROD does not include groundwater remedial action objectives, Applicable or Relevant and
Appropriate Requirements (ARARs), or specific cleanup levels. However, the remedial action objectives include eliminating potential risk to human health and the environment associated with exposure to impacted wastes and minimizing off-site migration. The current monitoring program at AOC A7 consists of the following:
Annual groundwater monitoring for COCs at monitoring well SUDA7-19-01, which was installed in September
2019 as a replacement for abandoned well point SUDWP-A07-01 (KGS 2020)
Biennial sampling at three wells (OHM-A7-08, SUD-A07-014, and SUD-A07-065) for COCs in even years
(2022, 2024, 2026, etc.)
Annual hydraulic gauging at 13 monitoring wells and two staff gauges
Annual visual inspection of the landfill cap and surrounding area
Landfill gas vent monitoring every 5 years, before the 5-year review (in 2025, 2030, etc.)
Annual mowing of the landfill and maintenance.
2 Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Activities
This section describes the long-term groundwater monitoring activities conducted at AOC A7 in 2023. The 2023 long-term monitoring (LTM) sampling event at AOC A7 is described in Sections 2.1 through 2.3, and the groundwater gauging event is discussed in Section 2.4. In accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020), only one well (SUDA7-19-01) was sampled during the 2023 LTM sampling event.
2.1 Groundwater Sampling
Groundwater sampling activities at AOC A7 were performed with a peristaltic pump and dedicated tubing in accordance with the low-flow procedures documented in Low Stress (low flow) Purging and Sampling Procedure for the Collection of Groundwater Samples from Monitoring Wells (USEPA 2017b). Water quality parameters
(temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, specific conductance, and turbidity) were measured during purging and sampling via a water quality meter. The field instruments used to measure water quality parameters were calibrated daily in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and in accordance with USEPA’s Standard Operating Procedure – Calibration of Field Instruments (USEPA 2017a). Details on analytical sample containers and preservation requirements are presented in Table 1. Completed groundwater low-flow sampling forms and equipment calibration records are presented in Appendix A.
Descriptions of the locations, depths, screened intervals, and sampling frequencies at AOC A7 are included in
Table 2. Quality control (QC) samples were collected as discussed in Section 4.
2.2 Equipment Decontamination
Non-dedicated sampling and monitoring equipment (limited to water level meters) were decontaminated before and after use. Decontamination was performed in accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020).
2.3 Investigation-Derived Waste
Investigation-derived waste generated during groundwater sampling activities consisted of purge water from well sampling, equipment decontamination water, and disposable supplies such as nitrile gloves and paper towels.
Purge water and equipment decontamination water were discharged back to the ground at the site of generation after sampling was completed, in accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020). Used disposable supplies were bagged and disposed of as general solid waste.
2.4 Groundwater Elevation Measurements
Depth to water was gauged and recorded for the 13 monitoring wells and two staff gauges listed in the LTMMP
(KGS 2020) on November 8, 2023. The depth to water was measured at each of the gauged monitoring wells and staff gauges within a 24-hour period. The water level measurements and the corresponding water elevation data
(based on surveyed reference elevations) are presented in Table 3. Groundwater elevations and potentiometric surface for the 2023 LTM event are presented on Figure 4.
Figure 4 shows groundwater generally flowing north toward the Assabet River, with the top of the unconfined saturated zone remaining near the surface following site topology. This is consistent with historical groundwater flow observations. The groundwater elevations across AOC A7 yielded a groundwater gradient between 0.07 to
0.08 foot per foot (ft/ft) horizontally. This is steeper than the previously observed gradient of approximately
0.05 ft/ft in 2022.
A 0.15 ft/ft vertical gradient was observed around the OHM-A7-11 and OHM-A7-10 well pair. This vertical gradient indicates upward flow potential (possibly due to the proximity of Assabet River) and is consistent with historical gradients measured from this well pair. It is unknown whether upward gradients are present throughout the site as a whole, as OHM-A7-10 and OHM-A7-11 are the only shallow/deep overburden well pair. The overall groundwater flow direction at AOC A7 has remained generally consistent throughout the 27 years of monitoring performed to date.
3 Groundwater Monitoring Results
This section describes the methods used for sample analysis and provides results of the laboratory testing and analysis. The laboratory analytical reports are provided in Appendix B.
3.1 Analyses
Per the LTMMP, one well (SUDA7-19-01) was sampled during this event. Two samples were collected from the well: one parent sample and one field duplicate sample for QC purposes.
These samples were submitted to Eurofins TestAmerica of Savannah, Georgia, for analysis for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organochlorine pesticides, and total cyanide. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis was conducted at Eurofins TestAmerica of Arvada, Colorado. The two Eurofins TestAmerica laboratories are compliant with the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) Consolidated
Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories, Version 5.4 (Quality Systems Manual; DoD and DOE
2021) under the DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) (Savannah, Georgia certification
#L2463, expires September 22, 2024; Arvada, Colorado certification #2907.01, expires October 31, 2024) and hold current accreditation for all applicable analytical methods. The analytical methods and procedures used for the groundwater samples collected at AOC A7 are presented in Table 1.
3.2 Analytical Results
The results of the sample analyses from well SUDA7-19-01 are shown in Table 4. As discussed in Section 1.1, no cleanup concentration requirements are stipulated in the 1995 SC ROD (O.H. Materials Remediation Services
Corporation 1995). For comparative purposes and in accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020), groundwater analytical results are compared to project action levels, which are derived from the USEPA maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) GW-1 and GW-3 standards. Historical results for targeted analytes (defined as analytes with historical detections above the MCLs and/or MCP GW-1 standards
[1,1,2,2 trichloroethane, tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, gamma-BHC (Lindane) and 4,4’-
Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (4,4’-DDD)] are presented in Appendix C. As described in the LTMMP (KGS
2020), it should be noted that groundwater is not used as a source of drinking water at AOC A7 and groundwater discharges to the Assabet River.
A summary of the 2023 analytical results for the parent and duplicate sample collected from well SUDA7-19-01 is provided below:
No analytes were detected above laboratory limits of detection (LODs), with the exception of total cyanide in the parent sample at a concentration of 0.0025 J (estimated) milligrams per liter (mg/L). The total cyanide detection is well below the MCP GW-1 and MCP GW-3 standards of 0.20 and 0.030 mg/L, respectively.
No targeted analyte has been detected at a concentration above MCP GW-3 standards in any monitoring events conducted at AOC A7 since October 2001.
4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Eurofins Savannah of Savannah, Georgia, was the primary contract laboratory used for the analysis of groundwater samples for the 2023 monitoring event. This laboratory is compliant with the United States
Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) Consolidated Quality Systems Manual for
Environmental Laboratories, Version 5.4 (Quality Systems Manual; DoD and DOE 2021) under the DoD National
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (certification #L2463, expires September 22, 2024) and holds current National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program accreditation for all applicable analytical methods.
As a part of the 2023 monitoring event, quality assurance and QC samples were collected and analyzed to evaluate sample collection, transportation, and analysis procedures. A field duplicate sample was collected from well SUDA7-19-01 and analyzed at the laboratory for VOCs, organochlorine pesticides, total cyanide, and COD.
The analytical results for this field duplicate sample are shown in Table 4.
Data validation was completed on all laboratory deliverables by Laboratory Data Consultants, Inc. of Carlsbad, California. The analytical results from the 2023 monitoring event were reviewed and evaluated for data acceptability in accordance with the USEPA Region 1 Environmental Data Review Program Guidance (USEPA
2018), the Quality Assurance Project Plan (S-A JV 2020), and the DoD General Data Validation Guidelines (DoD
2019). The method requirements from the Quality Systems Manual Version 5.4 (DoD and DOE 2021) and the
USEPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846 (USEPA 2014) were also used as supplemental information.
The data validation report for the 2023 monitoring event is presented in Appendix D; QC exceedances noted during data validation are noted below:
Recoveries of the pesticides aldrin, alpha-Hexachlorocyclohexane (BHC), alpha-endosulfan, dieldrin, endosulfan sulfate, endrin, gamma-BHC, heptachlor epoxide, and 4,4’-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene
(4,4’-DDE) were less than the control limit in the laboratory control sample analyzed in association with the analysis of sample SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 and field duplicate sample SUD-DUP01-FAL23. In addition, the matrix spike (MS) and/or matrix spike duplicate (MSD) analysis performed on sample SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 exhibited recoveries of aldrin, alpha-BHC, alpha-endosulfan, dieldrin, endosulfan sulfate, endrin, gamma-
BHC, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, 4,4’-DDD, and 4,4’-DDE less than the lower control limits. The associated non-detect results were qualified as estimated (UJ) with a potential for low bias in samples
SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 and SUD-DUP01-FAL23.
Recovery of the pesticides surrogate compound 2,4,5,6-tetrachloro-meta-xylene was greater than the control limit in field duplicate sample SUD-DUP01-FAL23. The results for all pesticides reported in sample SUD-
DUP01-FAL23 were qualified as estimated (UJ) with a potential for low bias in the reported results.
The continuing calibration verification (CCV) associated with VOC analysis exhibited results for bromomethane and chloroethane less than the acceptance criteria. In addition, the closing CCV was less than the acceptance criteria for bromomethane. The non-detect results for bromomethane and chloroethane in sample SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 and field duplicate sample SUD-DUP01-FAL23 were qualified as estimated
(UJ).
The MS and/or MSD analysis performed on sample SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 exhibited recoveries of the VOCs
1,2-dichlorobenzene and bromomethane less than the lower control limits. The associated non-detect results were qualified as estimated (UJ) with a potential for low bias in samples SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 and SUD-
DUP01-FAL23.
The MS/MSD analysis performed on sample SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 exhibited recoveries of cyanide less than the lower control limits. The cyanide results were qualified as estimated (J/UJ) with a potential for low bias in samples SUDA7-19-01-FAL23 and SUD-DUP01-FAL23.
Appropriate qualifiers, if needed, have been added to the 2023 analytical data in the project database and are included in Table 4 and Appendix D. Some values were J-qualified (analyte detected at estimated concentration) or UJ-qualified (analyte not detected, laboratory reporting limit is estimated) due to quality control exceedances.
Sample results that were qualified as estimated (UJ/J) are usable with caution. The data from the 2023 monitoring event are acceptable for use with no data being rejected.
5 Landfill Maintenance and Inspection Activities
This section summarizes the landfill maintenance and inspection activities performed at AOC A7 in 2023.
A detailed discussion of the 2023 landfill inspection and recommendations is presented in the Geotechnical
Engineering Annual Inspection Report (Appendix E).
5.1 Summary of Maintenance Activity and Findings
The following maintenance activity was conducted at AOC A7 during 2023:
The cap and adjacent area vegetation were mowed from October 17 to 26, 2023, by Tantara Corporation
(Tantara) of Worcester, Massachusetts.
The following is a summary of findings regarding the vegetative cover, vegetation types, erosion, settlement, and general condition of the various landfill features (based on an inspection completed on November 3, 2023):
The landfill cap was in good condition with no significant erosion or settlement. In general, the cap vegetation appears healthy, dense, and provides good coverage of the landfill cap, with grass and clover predominating.
Minimal/superficial rutting was observed adjacent to one of the monitoring wells (OHM-A7-08) located at the cap.
No encroachment of wetland species on the cap was observed.
The security perimeter fence is in good overall condition. Some branches have fallen on the eastern portion of the fence, but no damage to the fence was observed. Most of the trees were removed by hand and the remaining branches will be removed during the next landfill mowing event.
The cap drainage system was in good condition. Drainage channels are free of sediment and debris. The grass on drainage channel bottoms was in good condition and the vegetation on the side slopes was healthy and dense.
The toe drain appeared to be functioning properly, and no slope stability or erosion problems were observed.
Sections of geotextile that were repaired in 2017 remain in good condition.
The culvert pipe at the southeast corner of the landfill (under the fence line by the road) appeared to be in good working condition.
The gas vent system is in good condition. Each of the four vent pipes was intact, properly identified, and appeared to be functioning as intended. The installed bird/insect screens remain in good condition. As described in the 2020 inspection report (S-A JV 2021), three of the four gas vents are slightly tilted. It is unclear whether the tilts are due to settlement of the landfill, or if they were present at their original construction. The slight tilts are not expected to affect the functioning of the gas vents and no other indications of settlement or erosion were observed; therefore, no action is required at this time.
The stormwater culverts along the western/southwestern cap line appear to be in good condition.
The groundwater monitoring wells were in generally good condition.
5.2 Summary of Recommendations
The following is a summary of recommendations for future maintenance of the landfill:
Continue mowing the landfill cap annually to control vegetative growth, as well as the adjacent fields to prevent woody and wetland plant species from encroaching onto the cap. Mowing should not take place until
September when ground-nesting songbirds are mature enough to avoid being harmed.
Continue annual inspections of the landfill cap components. The inspection should continue to be performed in the fall, soon after mowing (i.e., within 1 to 2 weeks), and preferably within 48 hours after a precipitation event to aid in inspecting the effectiveness of surface runoff in the drainage swales.
Continue general landfill maintenance, such as clearing moss and debris from toe drain areas and clearing large/woody vegetative growth from the cap and drainage channels. Also continue to clear vegetation from the fence line during the annual monitoring and maintenance program to prevent damage to the fence and gates.
Continue to monitor the angle of tilt of the gas vents as part of the annual inspection to check for possible settlement over time.
Since the cap was installed in 1996, post-closure inspection and monitoring have been performed for more than 27 years. In accordance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 Subtitle C landfill cap regulations for post-closure monitoring periods of performance, planning will commence to reduce long-term monitoring and sampling activities (or to perform them at a reduced frequency) after 30 years of monitoring has been completed.
6 Institutional Controls
The 1995 SC ROD (O.H. Materials Remediation Services Corporation 1995) included ICs in the selected remedy for AOC A7 to restrict changes in land use at that AOC. The LTMMP (KGS 2020) includes IC inspection criteria to be performed annually at AOCs A7, P31, and P58 to monitor for significant changes in site use and increases in exposure potential. The IC criteria are described below and include document reviews, interviews, and physical on-site inspections, each to be completed and reported with checklists.
6.1 Document Reviews
The following documents were reviewed in accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020):
2020 Final Annual Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring Report, AOC A7, Former Sudbury Training
Annex, Sudbury, Massachusetts (S-A JV 2021)
Protectiveness Assessment for AOC P31/P58, Former Sudbury Training Annex, Stow, Massachusetts, Concord, Massachusetts (USACE 2007).
In accordance with the LTMMP (KGS 2020), a “Checklist for Review of Sudbury Annex (AOC A7) Annual Report” was prepared to illustrate how the documents were used to evaluate the ICs at AOCs A7, P31, and P58; the results of the completed review of this 2023 Annual Report are summarized in Appendix F.
6.2 Institutional Control Interviews
IC interviews are conducted annually to monitor the status of ICs at AOC A7. Property owners contacted are the
USFWS (for the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge, the layout of which is shown on Appendix F, Figure F.1) and FEMA (which owns six small parcels of the former training annex in close proximity to AOC A7).
An interview was conducted by email with representatives from the USFWS who are familiar with day-to-day activities. The interview included discussions of the following (Appendix F):
Status of past redevelopment or other construction or demolition activities
Review of approved conditional exemptions, amendments, and/or releases
Review of any unauthorized uses and activities
Review of corrective action to resolve unauthorized uses and activities
Overall effectiveness of the ICs
Status of anticipated future redevelopment or other construction or demolition activities.
Summaries of the USFWS and FEMA interviews are presented in Appendix F. The IC interviews indicated that no significant changes in site use or evidence of increased exposure potential were apparent for the 2023 reporting period at AOC A7.
6.3 Physical On-Site Inspections
Annual physical on-site inspections are conducted at AOCs A7, P31, and P58 in accordance with the LTMMP
(KGS 2020). The physical on-site inspections address the following items:
Land use conditions (presence of buildings and level of recreational use)
Evidence of any changes to the use of AOCs A7, P31, or P58
Evidence of any disturbance to the integrity of the landfill containment system or to the function of the monitoring system in place at AOC A7
Evidence of any significant excavation or surface or subsurface soil disturbance at AOC A7
Evidence of any activities that have disrupted or otherwise negatively impacted the subsurface soil at the
AOCs A7, P31, or P58 below the depth of 4 feet
Other such conditions that the Army, USEPA, and MassDEP Project Managers may deem necessary to evaluate to continue the protectiveness of the ICs. The party conducting the inspection notes all observations, including observation of any known or suspected violations, on an inspection checklist.
Inspections of the AOC A7 landfill and the surrounding area were conducted by the S-A JV and USACE on
November 3, 2023. The landfill cap, drainage features, and surrounding area were found to be in good condition, and there was no evidence of excavation or damage. A summary of the inspection findings is presented in
Section 5, and specific details of the inspections and future planned activities are included in Appendix E.
Inspections of AOCs P31 and P58 were conducted on November 27, 2023, and indicated no evidence of changes to the use of these AOCs. The sites were observed to be vegetated and there was no evidence of dumping or excavation. An inspection checklist is included in Appendix F.
6.4 Institutional Control Summary
The LUCs required by the 1995 SC ROD (O.H. Materials Remediation Services Corporation 1995) are described in the MOA between the Army and the current property owner, the USFWS, dated September 28, 2000
(Appendix G). Document reviews, IC interviews, and physical on-site inspections completed during the 2023 reporting period revealed no significant changes in site use or evidence of increased exposure potential for
AOCs A7, P31, and P58. Land transfer agreements with the USFWS, FEMA, and United States Air Force are also provided in Appendix G. Interviews with USFWS and FEMA who currently use, own, and maintain the land are included in Appendix G.
7 Conclusions
One well (SUDA7-19-01) was sampled during the fall 2023 monitoring event conducted on November 8, 2023. No analytes were detected above LODs, with the exception of total cyanide detected at a trace level of
0.0025 J mg/L. No analytes were detected above the MCP GW-1 or MCP GW-3 comparison criteria.
The groundwater elevation contours were consistent with historical gauging events, with a slightly steeper gradient (0.07 to 0.08 ft/ft) than previously observed in 2022 (0.05 ft/ft).
The AOC A7 landfill cap remains in good condition based on the November 3, 2023, inspection. The drainage system and gas vent monitoring system are in good condition and functioning as intended. The fence is in good overall condition and no damage was observed.
No significant changes in site use or evidence of increased exposure potential were observed at AOCs A7, P31, and P58 based on document reviews, the IC interviews, and on-site inspections.
The next Annual Report, which will present the results of fall 2024 monitoring and maintenance activities, will be submitted for regulatory agency review in May 2025.
Based on the results of the fall 2023 groundwater sampling event at the site and the interviews and inspections conducted, the current monitoring and inspection schedule is appropriate for maintaining protectiveness. The Army is planning to request reduction of sampling in the next Annual Report. As indicated above, the cap is 27 years old and monitoring has been completed for the past 27 years and concentrations over the period of the biennially sampling remain the same (as shown in Appendix C).
