Remedial Investigation QAPP <br /> Stockton Army Aviation Support Facility,California <br /> will be performed using sonic drilling and push-ahead sampling methods. The initial sample will be collected <br /> near the top of the water table,and then samples are anticipated to be collected at a frequency of approximately <br /> one every 15 feet or more along the vertical profile of the aquifer being characterized. Frequency and number of <br /> samples may vary based on field conditions, soil logging observations, and/or interpreted hydrostratigraphy. <br /> Groundwater samples will be analyzed under standard TAT for the target list of 40 PFAS by USEPA Method 1633, <br /> as specified in Worksheet#15.VAP sampling will be performed in accordance with the procedures presented in <br /> Worksheet#14 and further detailed in Parsons SOP PFAS ENV-14 Vertical Aquifer Profiling(Appendix D). The <br /> three most western VAP groundwater samples (GW-01, GW-02, and GW-03) will also be analyzed for potential <br /> COPCs from the FMS#24, including TPH-GRO,TPH-DRO,and VOC, as specified in Worksheet#15. <br /> 17.4 Groundwater Monitoring Well Sampling Design and <br /> Rationale <br /> During RI Mobilization 1, groundwater samples will be collected from newly installed monitoring wells onsite at <br /> Stockton AASF. In order to confirm shallow groundwater flow directions and establish a monitoring network for <br /> shallow groundwater, twelve shallow groundwater monitoring wells will be installed onsite during the RI <br /> Mobilization 1.The rationale for the new monitoring wells and the target screen intervals is provided in Table 17- <br /> 4. The proposed new permanent monitoring well locations are shown on Figure 17-2. The shallow wells will be <br /> installed at the top of groundwater in the surficial aquifer, which is comprised of unconsolidated Quaternary <br /> sediments made up of alluvial and lake deposits, using DPT or sonic drilling methods. Permanent monitoring <br /> wells will be installed in accordance with the procedures presented in Worksheet#14 and further detailed in <br /> Parsons SOP PFAS ENV-05 Soil Borings and Monitoring Well Installation (Appendix D). <br /> During RI Mobilization 1,groundwater samples will be collected from all newly installed wells on a quarterly basis <br /> as established in Table 17-4. Based on the results of RI Mobilization 1, additional monitoring wells may be <br /> installed in RI Mobilization 2 to further delineate the potential PFAS releases. Groundwater samples will be <br /> analyzed under standard TAT for the target list of 40 PFAS by USEPA Method 1633,with a subset of samples(all <br /> newly installed wells during the first quarterly sampling only)analyzed for TSS (USEPA Method SM2540D),TDS <br /> (USEPA Method SM2540C), TOC (USEPA Method SW9060A), pH (USEPA Method 9040C), as specified in <br /> Worksheet #15. Groundwater samples will be collected in accordance with the procedures presented in <br /> Worksheet#14 and further detailed in Parsons SOP PFAS ENV-03 Groundwater Sampling(Appendix D). <br /> During RI Mobilization 2, additional permanent monitoring wells will be proposed at locations to be determined <br /> based on the results of RI Mobilization 1. Locations may be selected at shallow, intermediate or deep intervals <br /> to delineate the nature and extent of PFAS impacts in groundwater. Additional Mobilization 2 permanent <br /> monitoring wells will be presented in a separate QAPP Addendum with the relevant QAPP worksheets. All <br /> permanent monitoring wells installed during the RI will be sampled for PFAS for four quarters. <br /> 17.5 Hydraulic Conductivity Testing Design and Rationale <br /> Slug testing (aquifer testing) will be completed to evaluate aquifer permeability at the newly installed shallow <br /> groundwater monitoring wells during RI Mobilization 1. The well locations and screen intervals for slug testing <br /> are included in Table 17-4.The well locations are shown on Figure 17-2. Up to three slug tests (rising or falling <br /> head) will be performed at each well by using different initial displacements. Both rising and falling head tests <br /> will be conducted, if possible. Falling head tests will not be performed in wells screened at the top of the water <br /> table(i.e., not fully saturated screen).A pressure transducer and data-logger will be employed to record the head <br /> changes. Data will be evaluated using the approach recommended by Butler (Butler, 2020). Plots of head <br /> PARSONS Worksheet#17&18:Sampling Design and Rationale <br /> Page 115 <br />
