Abstract

Previous investigations indicate that concentrations of 

chlorinated volatile organic compounds are substantial in 

groundwater beneath the 9-acre former landfill at Operable 

Unit 1, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport, 

Washington. The U.S. Geological Survey has continued to 

monitor groundwater geochemistry to ensure that conditions 

remain favorable for contaminant biodegradation as specified 

in the Record of Decision for the site.

This report presents groundwater geochemical and 

selected chlorinated volatile organic compound data collected 

at Operable Unit 1 by the U.S. Geological Survey during 

June and October 2012, in support of long-term monitoring 

for natural attenuation. Groundwater samples were collected 

from 13 wells and 9 piezometers, as well as from 10 shallow 

groundwater passive-diffusion sampling sites in the nearby 

marsh. Samples from all wells and piezometers were analyzed 

for oxidation-reduction (redox) sensitive constituents and 

dissolved gases. Samples from all piezometers also were 

analyzed for chlorinated volatile organic compounds, as were 

all samples from the passive-diffusion sampling sites. 

In 2012, concentrations of redox-sensitive constituents 

measured at all wells and piezometers were consistent with 

those measured in previous years, with dissolved oxygen 

concentrations all at 0.4 milligram per liter or less; little 

to no detectable nitrate; abundant dissolved manganese, 

iron, and methane; and commonly detected sulfide. In the 

upper aquifer of the northern plantation in 2012, chlorinated 

volatile organic compound (CVOC) concentrations at all 

piezometers were similar to those measured in previous 

years, and concentrations of the reductive dechlorination 

byproducts ethane and ethene were slightly higher or the same 

as concentrations measured in 2011. In the upper aquifer of 

the southern plantation, CVOC concentrations measured in 

piezometers during 2012 continued to be extremely variable 

as in previous years, and often very high, and reductive 

dechlorination byproducts were detected in two of the four 

wells and in all piezometers. Beneath the marsh adjacent to 

the southern plantation, chloroethene concentrations measured 

in 2012 continued to vary spatially and temporarily, and also 

were very high. Additionally, CVOC concentrations measured 

in samplers deployed in access tubes were about two to four 

times less than those measured in the two samplers buried 

nearby, beneath the marsh stream. Total CVOC concentration, 

at what has been historically the most contaminated passivediffusion sampler site (S-4), continued an increasing trend. For 

the intermediate aquifer in 2012, concentrations of reductive 

dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene were consistent 

with those measured in previous years.

Introduction 

Chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) have 

migrated to groundwater beneath a former 9-acre landfill at 

Operable Unit 1 (OU 1) of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center 

(NUWC), Division Keyport, Washington. The NUWC is on a 

small peninsula in Kitsap County, Washington, in an extension 

of Puget Sound called Liberty Bay (fig. 1). The former landfill 

is on the narrow strip of land connecting the peninsula to the 

mainland and is adjacent to tidal flats that are an extension of 

Liberty and Dogfish Bays. The OU 1 landfill was constructed 

in a former marshland and was the primary disposal area for 

domestic and industrial waste generated by NUWC Division 

Keyport from the 1930s through 1973.

Introduction 3

Groundwater beneath OU 1 is within a series of aquifers 

that are composed of permeable sand, gravel, or fill materials 

separated by finer grained silt or clay layers. Volatile organic 

compound (VOC) contamination at OU 1 is only in about 

the top 60 ft of the unconsolidated deposits in the four 

hydrogeologic units—the unsaturated zone, the upper aquifer, 

the middle confining unit, and the intermediate aquifer. 

Groundwater in the unconfined upper aquifer generally flows 

from the east to the west toward Dogfish Bay. Groundwater in 

the predominantly confined intermediate aquifer flows toward 

the landfill from the south and from the west, and then flows 

northwest beneath the landfill toward Dogfish Bay (Dinicola 

and others, 2002). Two perennial freshwater creeks drain the 

marsh adjacent to the landfill and discharge into the tide flats 

of Dogfish Bay

CVOCs are in the upper and intermediate aquifers and 

in surface water at OU 1. The predominant contaminants in 

groundwater beneath OU 1 are the chloroethene compounds—

trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE), 

and vinyl chloride (VC). Less common contaminants include 

tetrachloroethene (PCE), trans-1,2-dichloroethene (transDCE), 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE); and the chloroethane 

compounds—1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,1-dichloroethane 

(1,1-DCA), and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA). A need 

for remedial action was identified because some of the 

contaminants present a potential risk to humans, primarily 

through drinking contaminated groundwater or through 

ingesting seafood harvested from contaminated surface water 

(URS Consultants, Inc., 1998). The U.S. Navy planted two 

hybrid poplar plantations on the landfill (fig. 2) in spring 1999 

to remove and control the migration of CVOCs in shallow 

groundwater. The landfill between the plantations is covered 

with pavement, although the area north of the northern 

plantation is permeable.

The U.S. Navy began a cooperative effort with the 

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1995 to evaluate the 

effectiveness of natural attenuation processes for removing 

and controlling the migration of CVOCs in groundwater at 

OU 1. Field and laboratory studies from 1996 through 2000 

demonstrated that biodegradation of CVOCs in shallow 

groundwater at OU 1 was substantial (URS Consultants, Inc., 

1997; Bradley and others, 1998; Dinicola and others, 2002). In 

1998, a remedy was developed for contaminated groundwater 

at OU 1 that included phytoremediation and on-going natural 

attenuation processes to remove and control the migration 

of CVOCs in shallow groundwater (URS Consultants, Inc., 

1998). In 1999, the U.S. Navy planted two hybrid poplar 

plantations in two areas on the landfill where contaminant 

concentrations in groundwater were exceptionally high (fig. 2) 

(URS Greiner, Inc., 1999). The U.S. Navy regularly monitored 

contaminant concentrations in groundwater and surface water, 

along with tree health and water levels, to determine the 

effectiveness of phytoremediation (CH2M Hill Constructors, 

Inc., 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005). The USGS has monitored 

geochemistry and contaminant concentrations in groundwater 

and surface water annually from 2001 through 2012 to 

evaluate reduction-oxidation (redox) conditions and CVOC 

biodegradation.

This report presents groundwater geochemical and 

selected CVOC data collected by the USGS at OU 1 during 

June 4–6, 2012, and October 19, 2012, in support of the longterm monitoring for natural attenuation. The USGS collected 

groundwater samples from 13 wells and 9 piezometers during 

2012 (table 1 and fig. 2), and concentrations of various 

geochemical constituents used to determine redox conditions 

were determined in all samples. Concentrations of VOCs also 

were determined by the USGS in samples collected from the 

9 piezometers, as well in samples from 10 passive diffusion 

sampling sites in the nearby marsh bordering the southern 

landfill. During previous years, passive-diffusion samplers 

were buried directly in sediment beneath the marsh stream. 

During 2012, passive-diffusion samplers were deployed at 10 

sites in newly installed access tubes immediately adjacent to 

the landfill side of the marsh creek. For comparison to existing 

data, passive-diffusion samplers also were buried directly in 

sediment beneath the marsh at three of the sites during 2012.

Sample Collection and Analysis

Water-level measurements and sample collection, 

processing, and field analyses during 2012 were in accordance 

with applicable USGS procedures as described in the National 

Field Manual (U.S. Geological Survey, variously dated). 

Redox-sensitive analyte measurements and concentrations that 

were determined for samples from 13 wells and 9 piezometers 

included dissolved hydrogen (H2), dissolved oxygen (DO), 

filtered organic carbon (referred to as dissolved organic 

carbon, DOC), filtered nitrate plus nitrite, filtered manganese, 

filtered ferrous iron (iron (II)), filtered sulfate, unfiltered 

sulfide, dissolved methane, dissolved carbon dioxide, pH, 

specific conductance, and filtered chloride. Concentrations of 

CVOCs and other VOCs were determined for samples from all 

9 piezometers in the northern and southern landfills, and from 

all 10 passive-diffusion sampling sites in the marsh. Complete 

VOC analytical results (including data qualifiers) are available 

from the USGS National Water Information System (U.S. 

Geological Survey, 2013). Concentrations of dissolved gases 

ethane, ethene, and methane also were determined for samples 

from all wells and piezometers.

After measuring depth to water, all well and piezometer 

samples were collected with a peristaltic pump and single-use 

polyethylene tubing. Samples were collected after about three 

casing-volumes of water were purged from the wells and after 

allowing field measurements of pH, specific conductance, and 

DO to stabilize to within 0.1 unit, 3 percent, and 0.3 mg/L, 

respectively. Field measurements were monitored using a 

flow-through chamber and a Yellow Springs Instruments 

(YSI®) 600XLM or 6920 V2 data sonde. The sonde was 

calibrated prior to use as described in the National Field 

Manual (U.S. Geological Survey, variously dated, chaps. A6 

and A8). The specific conductance sensor was calibrated daily 

with standard reference solutions (1,000 μS/cm and checked 

with solutions ranging from 250 to 750 μS/cm); the pH sensor 

was calibrated daily with two pH standards (7 and 10 and 

checked against pH 4 buffer solution); and the DO sensor 

was calibrated daily using the air-saturated water method 

and occasionally verified with zero-DO solution. Dissolvedoxygen analyses were confirmed for most samples using 

0–1 mg/L CHEMets Rhodazine- D® colorimetric vacuum 

ampoules (manufactured by CHEMetrics®, Inc., Calverton, 

Virginia).

Concentrations of iron (II) were measured in field 

samples filtered through a 0.45-μm membrane filter using a 

colorimetric 1,10-phenanthroline indicator method and a Hach 

Model 2010 spectrophotometer following Hach Method 8146 

(Hach Company, 1998; adapted from American Public Health 

Association, 1980). Sulfide concentrations were measured in 

the field with a colorimetric methylene-blue indicator method 

using a spectrophotometer immediately after collection, 

according to Hach Method 8131 [Hach Company, 1998; 

procedure is equivalent to U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency method 376.2 (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

1983)]. Dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were 

measured in the field using Titret®-Sodium hydroxide titrant 

with a pH indicator (manufactured by CHEMetrics®, Inc., 

Calverton, Virginia).

Samples for analysis of dissolved H2 in groundwater 

were collected after at least 30 minutes of stripping using 

the bubble-strip method of Chapelle and others (1997), and 

concentrations were measured in the field using a reduction 

gas analyzer (Trace Analytical model E-001) (Dinicola and 

Huffman, 2012). Subsequent samples were collected and 

analyzed at about 5-minute intervals until consecutive H2

concentrations stabilized to within 10 percent. 

Samples for analysis of nitrate plus nitrite, sulfate, and 

chloride concentrations were filtered through a 0.45‐μm 

membrane filter into polyethylene bottles, chilled, and sent 

to the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) 

in Lakewood, Colorado. Chloride and sulfate were analyzed 

using ion chromatography as described by Fishman and 

Friedman (1989). Nitrate plus nitrite were analyzed 

colorimetrically by cadmium reduction and diazotization as 

described by Fishman (1993). The results for the nitrate plus 

nitrite analyses are referred to simply as “nitrate” in this report 

because nitrite was not detected at the site (Dinicola and 

others, 2002). Samples for analysis of manganese were filtered 

into an acid-rinsed bottle, acidified in the field with nitric 

acid to a pH of less than 2 and then shipped to the NWQL 

for analysis by inductively coupled plasma as described by 

Fishman (1993). 

Samples for DOC analysis were filtered through a 

0.45‐μm filter into amber glass bottles, acidified in the 

field with sulfuric acid to a pH of less than 2, chilled to 

less than 4°C, and shipped to the NWQL. Organic carbon 

concentrations were determined using persulfate oxidation as 

described by Brenton and Arnett (1993).

Samples for VOC analysis were collected in preacidified 40-mL glass vials, placed on ice, and shipped to 

the NWQL for subsequent analysis using purge and trap 

capillary-column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry 

as described by Connor and others (1998). Samples for 

analysis of ethane, ethene, and methane were collected in 

pre-acidified 40-mL glass vials, placed on ice, and shipped to 

TestAmerica Laboratories in Denver, Colorado, for subsequent 

analysis using gas chromatography with a flame-ionization 

detector according to USEPA Method RSK SOP-175 

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1994; Kampbell and 

Vandegrift, 1998).
Selected Monitoring Data 7

In September 2012, ten 5-ft long by 2-in. diameter 

polyvinyl chloride (PVC) access tubes were installed 

vertically, immediately adjacent to the marsh stream between 

the stream and the southern landfill. The access tubes were 

placed within 1–3 ft of previously sampled passive-diffusion 

sites in the stream bed (fig. 2). The lowermost 1 ft of the 

access tubes were slotted screens, and the bottoms of these 

screens were driven about 1 ft below the elevation of the 

adjacent streambed. After installation, passive-diffusion 

samplers were placed in the access tubes to collect shallow 

groundwater samples for VOC analyses. The samplers 

consisted of 6-in. long by 2-in. diameter polyethylene layflat tubing filled with de-ionized water and heat sealed at 

both ends. The samplers were built by USGS personnel at 

the Washington Water Science Center (WAWSC), Tacoma, 

Washington. Filled bags were inserted into plastic mesh 

sleeves to protect the bags from damage. A single sampler was 

placed in each access tube, and a cap was installed on the tube 

top to prevent air exchange with the atmosphere. At two sites, 

an additional sampler was buried in the sediment beneath the 

marsh creek, as was done during previous years, to evaluate 

the consistency of data between the access tube and the 

direct burial sampling results. All passive-diffusion samplers 

were allowed to equilibrate with the surrounding water for 

more than 2 weeks, after which they were retrieved by hand, 

placed on ice, and processed at the WAWSC laboratory within 

2 hours of retrieval. A corner of each bag was cut and three 

pre-acidified 40-mL glass VOC vials were filled, sealed, and 

kept on ice for shipment to the NWQL for VOC analysis. 

Quality assurance and control of geochemical and 

contaminant sampling included collecting two duplicate 

samples for selected redox-sensitive analytes and VOCs, and 

analyzing a field blank sample for VOCs and redox-sensitive 

analytes. No substantial quality issues were identified in those 

samples (appendix A). 

Selected Monitoring Data

The groundwater chemistry data are grouped with regard 

to aquifer and location of the well or piezometer. Upgradient 

sites are the two upper aquifer wells (MW1-3 and MW1-20) 

located east of the former landfill. The former upgradient 

intermediate aquifer well (MW1-33) located south of the 

landfill was decommissioned and can no longer be sampled. 

Northern plantation sites are all in the upper aquifer and 

include four wells (1MW-1, MW1-2, MW117, and MW1-41) 

and four piezometers (P1-1, P1-3, P1-4, and P1-5) in or near 

the northern phytoremediation plantation; piezometer P1-2 

generally is dry during June and has never been sampled. 

Southern plantation sites also are all in the upper aquifer and 

include three wells (MW1-4, MW1–5, and MW1-16) and 

five piezometers (P1-6, P1-7, P1-8, P1-9, and P1-10) in or 

near the southern phytoremediation plantation. Intermediate 

aquifer sites include four wells (MW1-25, MW1-28, MW1-38, 

and MW1-39) that are downgradient of the landfill; no 

intermediate aquifer wells are in the footprint of the former 

landfill. Marsh sampling sites refer to the 10 passive-diffusion 

sampling sites (S-1, S-2, S-2B, S-3, S-3B, S-4, S-4B, S-5, 

S-5B, S-6) near the southern plantation (fig. 2). 

Geochemical Data 

Geochemical data collected by the USGS from 

piezometers and selected wells at OU 1 from 1996 to 2012 are 

shown in table 2 (at back of report). Historical geochemical 

data for wells not sampled in 2012 are not included in table 2, 

but are available in Dinicola (2003, 2004, 2006) and Dinicola 

and Huffman (2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012). Overall, 

concentrations of redox-sensitive constituents measured in 

2012 were consistent with previous years, with dissolvedoxygen concentrations all at 0.4 mg/L or less; little to no 

detectable nitrate; abundant dissolved manganese, iron, and 

methane; and commonly detected sulfide. 

Volatile Organic Compounds

VOCs and dissolved ethane and ethene data collected 

from piezometers and selected intermediate aquifer wells 

at OU 1 from June 1999 to June 2012 are shown in table 3

(at back of report). Chemical concentrations are reported as 

less than the reporting level for samples in which the analyte 

was neither identified nor detected at concentrations equal to 

or greater than the reporting level. Historical VOC data for 

wells not sampled in 2012 and for dates before 1999 are not 

included in table 3. Complete analytical results for the USGS 

data for 2012 and previous years are available from the USGS 

National Water Information System web site (U.S. Geological 

Survey, 2013; or Dinicola and others (2002), Dinicola (2003, 

2004, 2006), Dinicola and Huffman (2004, 2006, 2007, 

2009, 2012), and Huffman and Dinicola (2011). Complete 

analytical results for the complimentary U.S. Navy VOC data 

from 1995 through 2011 are available in U.S. Navy (2012). 

The total CVOC concentrations calculated for each sample 

is the sum of concentrations of CVOCs that were positively 

detected; concentrations reported as “less than” values were 

not included in the total.

Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations 

beneath the Phytoremediation Plantations

In the upper aquifer of the northern plantation in 2012, 

CVOC concentrations at all piezometers were similar to those 

measured in previous years. In 2012, trace concentrations 

of CVOCs were detected in samples from piezometers P1-3 

and P1-5 and much higher concentrations were measured at 

piezometer P1-4. Total CVOC concentrations at piezometer 

P1-4 were similar to concentrations measured in 2011. In 

all wells and piezometers sampled, the concentrations of the 

reductive dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene in 2012 

were slightly higher or the same as concentrations measured in 

2011.

In the upper aquifer of the southern plantation, CVOC 

concentrations measured in all piezometers continued to be 

extremely variable from year to year, and often were high. 

Compared to 2011, total CVOC concentrations measured 

in 2012 increased substantially in one piezometer (P1-10), 

decreased substantially in three piezometers (P1-6, P1-8, and 

P1-9), and were about the same at one piezometer (P1-7). In 

2012, one or both of the reductive dechlorination byproducts 

ethane and ethene were detected in two of the four wells, and 

in all piezometers in the southern plantation.

In 2012, CVOC concentrations continued to vary 

spatially and temporarily beneath the marsh near the southern 

plantation, and concentrations measured in samplers installed 

in access tubes (S-2 T and S-4 T in table 3) were about two to 

four times less than those measured in the two samplers buried 

nearby beneath the marsh stream (S-2 and S-4 in table 3). 

Total CVOC concentration, at what has been historically 

the most contaminated passive diffusion sampler site (S-4), 

continued a generally consistent increasing trend. The total 

CVOC concentration from the sampler in the corresponding 

access tube (S-4 T in table 3) was about four times lower than 

concentrations from the buried sampler (S-4). The total CVOC 

concentration from the sampler placed in the S-2 access 

tube (S-2 T in table 3) was about two times lower than the 

concentration from buried sampler (S-2).

Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in the 

Intermediate Aquifer

For the intermediate aquifer, concentrations of reductive 

dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene in 2012 were 

consistent with those measured in previous years. No other 

VOCs were measured at these sites in 2012 by USGS.

Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has continued to 

monitor groundwater geochemistry to ensure that conditions 

remain favorable for contaminant biodegradation as specified 

in the Record of Decision. This report presents groundwater 

geochemical and selected VOC data collected at OU 1 by the 

USGS during June and October 2012, in support of long-term 

monitoring for natural attenuation.

Overall, concentrations of redox-sensitive constituents 

measured in 2012 were consistent with previous years, with 

dissolved-oxygen concentrations all at 0.4 mg/L or less; little 

to no detectable nitrate; abundant dissolved manganese, iron, 

and methane; and commonly detected sulfide. 

In the upper aquifer of the northern plantation in 2012, 

CVOC concentrations at all piezometers were similar to 

those measured in previous years. The concentrations of the 

reductive dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene were 

slightly higher or the same as concentrations measured in 

2011. In the upper aquifer of the southern plantation, CVOC 

concentrations measured in all piezometers continued to be 

extremely variable from year to year and one or both of the 

reductive dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene were 

detected in two of the four wells, and in all piezometers in the 

southern plantation.

In 2012, CVOC concentrations continued to vary 

spatially and temporarily beneath the marsh near the southern 

plantation, and concentrations measured in samplers installed 

in access tubes were about two to four times less than those 

measured in the two samplers buried nearby beneath the marsh 

stream. 

For the intermediate aquifer, concentrations of reductive 

dechlorination byproducts ethane and ethene in 2012 were 

consistent with those measured in previous years. No other 

VOCs were measured at these sites in 2012 by USGS.

Appendix A 43

Quality assurance and control of geochemical sampling 

included collecting duplicate and field blank samples for 

selected redox-sensitive analytes and volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs). The field blank was collected by 

pumping inorganic blank water and VOC-free water through 

clean tubing to determine possible sampling contamination. 

Complete laboratory quality assurance and control data from 

TestAmerica Laboratories are on file with the U.S. Geological 

Survey (USGS) Washington Water Science Center in Tacoma, 

Washington. 

A duplicate sample was collected and analyzed by the 

National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) for organic 

carbon, manganese, nitrate plus nitrite, sulfate, and chloride 

for piezometers P1-7 and P1-9 (table A1). The relative percent 

difference of duplicate results for these constituents for the 

sample collected at P1-7 agreed within 4.3 percent. The 

Appendix A. Quality Assurance and Control of U.S. Geological Survey 2012 

Geochemical Sampling

relative percent difference for the same constituents collected 

from piezometer P1-9 did not compare as favorably, ranging 

from 4.0 to 21.5 percent. Duplicate samples were collected and 

analyzed for VOCs by the NWQL and dissolved gases (ethane 

and ethene) by TestAmerica Laboratories at piezometers P1-7 

and P1-9, with relative percent difference between as high as 

4.2 and 80 percent, respectively. Piezometer P1-9 historically 

has had highly variable constituent concentrations in samples, 

and the duplicate sample does not reflect poor precision and or 

accuracy from field sampling or laboratory techniques. 

Chloroethenes, chloroethanes, and BTEX (benzene, 

toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) compounds were not 

detected in the field blank sample collected at piezometer 

P1-10. No changes were made to the data set based on these 

quality control data.
