INTRODUCTION 

This Work/Sampling and Analysis Plan describes the purpose and methodology for 

installing two groundwater monitoring wells north of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, 

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), Hawaii, hereafter referred to as the “Facility”. The 

Facility is part of the JBPHH and is located on the Island of Oahu (Figure 1). The State of 

Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) Facility I.D. number for the Facility is 9-102271. The 

HDOH Release I.D. numbers are 990051, 010011, 020028, and 140010. Parsons has prepared 

this document for Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, under NAVFAC 

Pacific Prime Contract No. N62583-11-D-0515/DO KB01. 

1.1 PROJECT PURPOSE 

The purpose of this project is to install groundwater monitoring wells near the north 

perimeter boundary of the Facility to evaluate potential off-site migration of petroleum-related 

contamination in groundwater and to provide additional monitoring points to determine the 

distribution of hydraulic head for input into an existing groundwater model of this area. It is the 

United States Navy’s (Navy) intention to continue compliance with DOH release response 

requirements for a reported release from Facility Tank 5. These requirements are documented in 

letters from DOH to the Navy dated 12 February 2014 and 26 February 2014 and are addressed 

by installing two monitoring wells along the border of the Facility. These locations have been 

agreed to in subsequent discussions and correspondence with the DOH. 

1.2 LOCATION AND SETTING 

The Facility is located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, approximately 2.5 miles northeast of 

Pearl Harbor (Figure 1). The Facility is located on a low ridge on the western edge of the 

Koolau Mountain Range that divides Halawa Valley from Moanalua Valley. The Facility is 

bordered on the north by Halawa Correctional Facility and private businesses, on the west by the 

U.S. Coast Guard reservation, on the south by residential neighborhoods, and on the east by 

Moanalua Valley. A quarry is located less than a quarter mile away to the northwest. The 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 1-2 

Facility occupies 144 acres and the elevation ranges from approximately 200 to 500 feet above 

mean sea level (amsl). 

The Facility is located above the boundary of the Waimalu and Moanalua Aquifer Systems 

of the Pearl Harbor and Honolulu Aquifer Sector, respectively. Both aquifers are sources of 

potable water for several public water supply systems, including the Board of Water Supply 

(BWS) Halawa Shaft Pump Station (2353-01) approximately 3000 feet northwest from the 

Facility and the Navy Red Hill Pumping Station (designated 2254-01), located approximately 

2,500 feet hydraulically down-gradient from the Facility. 

Information obtained from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and 

Permitting indicates that the Facility is located on federal government land (zoned F1- Military 

and Federal). 

1.3 SITE HISTORY 

The Facility was constructed by the U.S. Government in the early 1940s. The Facility 

contains 18 active and 2 inactive underground storage tanks (USTs) that are operated by Naval 

Supply Fleet Logistics Center (NAVSUP FLC) Pearl Harbor (formerly Fleet and Industrial 

Supply Center [FISC]). 

The 20 USTs and a series of tunnels were field constructed in-place as a self-contained 

underground unit deep within a basalt ridge at Red Hill. The USTs were constructed of plate 

steel encased in 2-4 feet of concrete between the steel plate and surrounding basalt. The USTs 

are 245 feet long and 100 feet in diameter and are aligned vertically such that the upper domes of 

the tanks are between 100 feet and 200 feet below ground surface (bgs). The lower dome of 

each tank rests on an approximate 50-foot wide by 20-foot thick concrete pad that was placed 

prior to the construction of the tanks. The bottoms of the USTs are located between 80 and 100 

above the underlying water table. 

The USTs currently contain jet fuel propellant (JP-5 and JP-8) and marine diesel fuel (F-76). 

Several tanks in the past have stored Navy special fuel oil, Navy distillate, aviation gasoline, and 

motor gasoline (Environet, 2010). 

Various environmental activities have been conducted at the Facility since the late 1990s. 

Site Investigations (SIs) were conducted in 1996 (Ogden Environmental and Energy Services 

Co., Inc. [Ogden]), 2002 (AMEC Earth and Environmental, Inc. [AMEC]), and 2007 (TEC, Inc. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 1-3 

[TEC]). A groundwater flow and contaminant transport model was completed as part of the 

2007 TEC investigation and updated in 2010 by TEC. A Groundwater Protection Plan (GPP) 

was developed in 2008 based on results of the SIs, modeling, and Tier 3 Risk Assessment, also 

conducted by TEC in 2007. The GPP was updated in 2009. 

The Navy has been conducting quarterly sampling of existing groundwater monitoring wells 

located inside and outside of the Red Hill tunnel since 2008. Currently, there are four monitoring 

wells located in the tunnel, one sample point located at the Red Hill Shaft, and two monitoring 

wells located outside of the tunnel that are sampled quarterly. 

1.4 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 

Groundwater sampling of the newly installed monitoring wells will be conducted in 

accordance with established LTM procedures at the Facility and applicable federal regulations 

that include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Title 29 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) describing Occupational Safety and Health Standards. Based on the 

history of the Site, the State and Federal regulatory requirements that apply to the Facility 

include the following: 

 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and National Primary Drinking Water Act (NPDW); 

the NPDW regulations are located in 40 CFR Part 141 and the regulations implement the 

provisions of the SDWA. They establish the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for 

various substances in potable water. 

 Hawaii Rules Relating to Public Water Systems (HPWS) – The DOH HPWS (Hawaii 

Administrative Rules (HAR) Title 11, Chapter 20) sets forth the MCLs of certain 

chemicals in public and private drinking water systems. These MCLs are analogous to 

those in the NPDW regulations. 

 State of Hawaii UST Regulations (HAR, Title 19, Chapter 342L and HAR, Title 11, 

Chapter 281). Owners and operators of USTs that contain regulated substances such as 

petroleum are required to take specific actions when investigating releases from their 

USTs. Regulations and requirements are explained in detail in the Technical Guidance 

Manual for Underground Storage Tank Closure and Release Response (DOH, 2000).

SECTION 3 

FIELD ACTIVITIES AND METHODOLOGY 

This section comprises the Facility sampling and analysis plan and describes the preinvestigation activities, drilling, well installation, development, soil and groundwater sampling, and 

related procedures to install two monitoring wells at the Facility. Field activities are proposed that 

utilize field screening technologies and appropriate real-time communication and decision-making, 

if needed. Therefore, the work plan is intended to be flexible to adapt to unforeseen conditions. 

3.1 PRE-INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES 

Pre-investigation activities to be completed prior to and/or concurrent with field mobilization are 

described in this subsection. The two proposed monitoring wells are located within the Facility 

property boundary. Pre-investigation activities include:

1. Conducting site reconnaissance surveys, including: 

 Inspecting drill locations for aboveground and buried utilities, temporary fence layout, 

vegetation clearance, and drill rig set-up area and configuration needed for all drilling 

equipment and support vehicles. 

 Reviewing available maps showing utilities in the area of the drilling locations. 

 Identifying site-specific hazards and performing hazards analysis assessments to protect 

employees, subcontractors, visitors, and JBPHH personnel from any potential job-related 

accidents and injuries during field work. 

2. Obtaining NAVFAC clearances and approvals, and generating traffic control plans. The 

following clearance, approvals, and plan may be required: 

 Temporary fence installation approval from Physical Security. 

 Realigned permanent fence approval from Physical Security. 

 Informal traffic control plan, which includes drawings and traffic control management 

(signs). 

3. Locating underground utilities. The Hawaii One Call Center (phone: 866-423-7287) will be 

the initial contact point for utility clearances for public utilities that may cross Navy property. 

However, the following types of utilities and responsible entities may also be contacted in the 

process of obtaining clearances for public utilities that may cross Navy property: 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-2 

 Municipal Water/Sewer (City and County of Honolulu, Board of Water Supply) 

 Electric (Hawaiian Electric Company) 

 Natural Gas (The Gas Company) 

 Telephone/Communications (Hawaiian Telcom/AT&T) 

In addition, drilling locations will be cleared by a geophysical utility locating subcontractor. 

4. Implementing best management practices. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) permit is required if direct or indirect discharge to storm drains is anticipated and if 

the area affected by site clearance operations is larger than one acre. A NPDES permit will not 

be required for the site activities being conducted. There will be no direct or indirect 

discharges to storm drains and substantially less than one acre of ground will be affected by 

site clearance operations. Best management practices will be implemented, including but not 

limited to: preservation of existing vegetation where possible; using waste (trash) and 

investigation-derived waste (IDW) containers; street sweeping; and dust suppression of drill 

cuttings. 

5. Abiding by the National Historic Preservation Act. The National Historic Preservation Act, 

Section 106 [36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 800], requires federal agencies to take 

into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and afford a reasonable 

opportunity to comment on such undertakings. As part of pre-investigation activities for this 

project, Section 106 was discussed with the NAVFAC Environmental Cultural Resource 

personnel. As a result of this discussion, a Section 106 compliance request is not required. 

6. Abiding by the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act, Section 7, requires 

federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on endangered species. 

As part of pre-investigation activities for this project, site conditions and endangered species 

issues were discussed with the NAVFAC Environmental Natural Resources personnel. As a 

result of this discussion, a Section 7 compliance request is not required.

3.3 ANALYTICAL METHODS AND REGULATORY COMPARISON CRITERIA 

The soil and groundwater samples collected for laboratory analysis will be analyzed for gasoline 

and diesel range TPH, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 

(PAHs) to include naphthalenes, and dissolved lead. Groundwater also will be analyzed for methane 

and the general water chemistry anions. The corresponding soil and groundwater analytical methods 

are provided in Table 2 - Soil Analytical Methods, Project Action Limits, and Laboratory Specific 

Limits and in Table 3 - Groundwater Analytical Methods, Project Action Limits, and Laboratory 

Specific Limits.

purposes (DOH, 2012) and are provided in Table 2 - Soil Analytical Methods, Project Action Limits 

and Laboratory Specific Limits and in Table 3 - Groundwater Analytical Methods, Project Action 

Limits and Laboratory Specific Limits. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-4 

3.4 DRILLING LOCATION ACCESS, SITE PREPARATION, AND FENCING 

Proposed drilling locations along the lower access road will require varying degrees of site 

preparation to include installation of a temporary security fence and perimeter security fence 

removal (discussed below), vegetation removal, site grooming if needed, and permanent 

reconfiguration of the perimeter fence to incorporate the new monitoring wells and allow future 

access for groundwater sampling activities. In addition to vegetation removal, the area may be 

groomed to remove tire hazards, and the ground surface graded or filled as needed to provide a level 

base for the drill rigs if the ground slope is greater than leveling timbers can correct. Additionally, 

vegetation including trees must be cleared a minimum of 10 feet away from the outside of the 

temporary of the temporary fence per NAVFAC security requirements. 

The following sequence for temporary security fence installation will be followed. 

1. The temporary security fence will be installed completely before taking down the permanent 

perimeter security fence. The temporary fence area will allow sufficient space to accommodate 

drill rigs, support vehicles, and IDW roll-off containers without encroaching onto the access 

road. The temporary fence posts will be driven approximately two feet into the ground rather 

than boring holes and placing posts in concrete as done for permanent posts. Physical Security 

will approve these temporary fencing assumptions or provide alternatives for construction. 

The drill site area and temporary security fence configurations will depend on ground 

conditions and how the drill rigs will be oriented relative to the existing security fence. The 

drill rig orientations may be approximately parallel or perpendicular to the existing security 

fence. The temporary fence panels will be 13 feet wide by 6 feet tall 

2. After the temporary security fence is installed, the permanent fence fabric will be rolled back 

and the fence posts will be cut flush with the concrete. Only a necessary number of posts will 

be removed for equipment access. 

3. Perform the required drilling, installation of the monitoring well, and completion of the well 

with a reinforced concrete pad (2 feet thick), steel protective casing and cap with protective 

hood for the lock, and steel bollards at each corner of the concrete pad. The monitoring well 

will be sampled prior to permanent security fence reconstruction. 

4. Prior to the temporary security fence removal, the new security fence configuration will be 

marked around the monitoring well. The concrete around the cut-off posts that will be needed 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-5 

for the new construction will be hammered out a few inches below ground surface, the cut 

posts will be welded back on, and new concrete will be poured around the reinstalled posts. 

The new concrete will extend above the weld so the weld will not be visible. 

5. The new security fencing around the monitoring well will be constructed approximately 

perpendicular to existing security fence line. The fencing around the monitoring well and up to 

the existing fence line will be attached to new posts set in bored holes and concrete. The 

existing security fence will be rolled back to the new fence corner posts at the entrance to the 

monitoring well access. The reconstructed permanent perimeter fence will be built in 

accordance with Navy fencing specifications. 

6. After the reconstructed permanent perimeter fence is in place, the temporary fence and posts 

will be taken down and removed from the drilling locations and Facility. 

3.5 TRAFFIC CONTROL 

Traffic control will be implemented as necessary. A minimum 12-foot clearance is required for 

emergency access along the lower access road. Traffic cones and signs (if warranted) will be placed 

along the roadway near the drilling operations to provide warning to JBPHH personnel and 

contractors of work along the lower access road. 

3.6 DRILLING, WELL INSTALLATION, AND SAMPLE COLLECTION 

ACTIVITIES 

Monitoring wells will be drilled and installed at the approximate locations shown on Figure 2. 

The locations may be moved as required from the shown locations due to the actual ground 

conditions and siting concerns related to drill rig set up and orientation, and safety. Proposed 

monitoring wells 1 and 2 will be installed near the lower access road north of the permanent security 

fence. The anticipated drilling depths of the wells are approximately 300 feet bgs. 

3.6.1 Drilling and Soil Sampling 

A Mobile B-59 or similar drill rig will used to advance hollow-stem augers (HSAs) into the 

incompetent soil/saprolite overlying basalt and for rock coring in basalt beneath the soil/saprolite. A 

larger, air rotary drilling rig (Atlas Copco T3 or Mobile B90) will be used to enlarge the boreholes 

within the soil/saprolite to set 12-inch-diameter conductor casing and to enlarge the coreholes to 8-
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-6 

inch diameter for installation of monitoring wells. Conductor casing will be grouted in place from 

the bedrock surface to ground surface. 

3.6.1.1 Hollow Stem Auger 

Initially, the boreholes will be advanced to refusal using HSAs and soil core samples will be 

collected at 10-foot intervals with 2-inch-diameter split spoons. Near-surface petroleum 

contamination is not expected at these downgradient locations; however, if high photo-ionization 

detector (PID) readings, petroleum odor, visual staining, or other indications of soil contamination 

are encountered, soil samples will be collected and submitted for laboratory chemical analysis. PID 

screening results, logging information, and depth of auger refusal will be recorded in the field book 

and computer-generated geologic logs with all pertinent information will be constructed. The depth 

of auger refusal could be shallow, depending on the location and subsurface conditions. For 

instance, if basalt boulders were to be encountered or if saprolite contains competent layers, augering 

will not be possible. Conductor casing will be set at the depth of auger refusal or the larger, air 

rotary drilling rig will be utilized to further extend the depth of the conductor casing. Soil/saprolite 

will be described according to standard logging procedures using the unified soil classification 

system (USCS) and a MunsellTM soil color chart will be used for color determination. 

If soil samples are collected, soil samples for VOC analysis for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, 

and xylenes (BTEX) will be collected in EnCore® samplers. Samples for other analyses will be 

collected in analyte appropriate containers supplied by the laboratory. Soil samples will be handled 

in accordance with the quality assurance project plan (QAPP) in Section 4. 

3.6.1.2 Rock Coring 

Rock coring will commence at the depth where competent bedrock is contacted. Because the 

proposed monitoring wells (1 and 2) are located near or within a natural drainage, a substantial 

thickness of saprolite and/or alluvium may be encountered. If the thickness of this material extends 

much greater than 50 feet bgs such that the conductor casing also extends to this depth, coring within 

the conductor casing becomes difficult due to wobble of the rock coring drill stem within the largediameter conductor casing. In the event that this potential wobble cannot be overcome, rock coring 

may not be possible, unless a separate borehole is drilled with small diameter casing installed. 

Continuous rock cores will be obtained in a 5-foot-long HQ core barrel (approximate 4-inch 

outside diameter yielding an approximate 2.75 inch rock core) using a wireline and quad-latch 

retrieval system. Rock coring will advance to a depth of approximately 20 feet below the water 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-7 

table. Compressed air will be used for circulation fluid at shallower depths. Compressed air mixed 

with clean, potable water will be used for the circulation fluid at increasing depths. An accessible 

source of potable water will be required for rock coring and drilling use. This source of clean water 

may be an on-site Navy fire hydrant or off-site BWS fire hydrant. The potable water will be 

analyzed prior to use. A 55-gallon drum with an air stack filter on the top will be used to catch and 

mitigate fine drilling dust. 

Rock cores will be described in accordance with standard logging procedures. A summary rock 

core chart will be used in the field as a guide to aid in the descriptions. In general, rock color; 

texture; strength; degree and orientation of fracturing; shape, size and volume of voids; weathering; 

and secondary staining or mineralization will be noted on the geologic logs. The Geological Society 

of America rock color chart with MunsellTM color chips will be used for color determination. 

Lithologic descriptions, PID screening results and other observations will be provided on a geologic 

log. 

3.6.1.3 Air Rotary 

The coreholes will be reamed or over-drilled to 8-inch diameter. The borehole will be advanced 

to total depth using conventional, open-hole air rotary with an air hammer. A diverter will be bolted 

to the top of the conductor casing to discharge entrained air, water, and rock cuttings via a large hose 

to a cyclone mounted on a roll-off bin. Limited amounts of clean, potable water and 

environmentally safe drilling foam (as required) will be injected during drilling to mitigate dust and 

to increase fluidization to remove cuttings from the boreholes. Cuttings return using this method can 

be variable, therefore, limiting the ability to log the rock formation where rock coring is not 

conducted. 

3.6.2 Monitoring Well Installation 

The monitoring wells will be installed in basalt and screened within the basal aquifer. Four-inch 

diameter, Schedule 80 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) monitoring wells with 20 feet of 0.020-inch slotted, 

Schedule 80 PVC screens will be constructed within the 8-inch boreholes. The 20-foot screens will 

straddle the water table such that about 15 feet of screen is below the water table and 5 feet is above 

to allow for water level fluctuation. The wireline on the Mobile B-59 or similar drilling rig will be 

used to place the sections of screen and blank casing. Additionally, a 1-inch diameter PVC sounding 

tube for the purpose of measuring water levels will be attached to the outside of each well casing and 

placed with the well during construction. The sounding tubes will be slotted and screened over the 

same interval as the monitoring wells. A sounding tube is necessary to obtain accurate water levels 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-8 

because the tape of a water level indicator can become entangled in the dedicated-pump sample 

tubing within the well. Depth to water in the open well casing (prior to pump installation) and in the 

sounding tube will be measured and compared and any differences will be noted. For consistency, 

all water levels will be measured with the same water level indicator. 

Coarse #3 Monterey silica sand will be tremied in the borehole annulus beneath, within, and 

approximately 5 to 8 feet above the well screen, followed by a bentonite pellet seal, then bentonite 

chips or viscous, wet bentonite grout up to the bottom of the conductor casing (less viscous cementbentonite grout should not be used because of high rock porosity). Dry bentonite pellets and chips 

where used will be tremied and hydrated with clean, potable water. The annular space between the 

well casing and conductor casing will be finished with cement-bentonite grout to near surface. Well 

construction diagrams will be provided on the geologic logs. 

The monitoring wells will be completed about 2.5-feet above ground with an 8-inch-diameter 

steel protective casing fitted with a locking, tamper proof lid that covers the protective casing and 

well head. The lock will be recessed or covered for added protection. The steel casings will be set 

in concrete at the wellhead for strength, security, and to provide a surface seal. A 3.5-foot by 3.5-

foot square by 2-foot-thick concrete pad will be installed around each protective steel casing. Steel 

bollards (4) will be placed slightly beyond each corner of the pad. The bollards will extend below 

ground surface about 2 feet and above ground surface about 3 feet with each individually set in 

concrete. The protective steel casings also will extend about 3 feet above ground so there is about 6 

inches of clearance between the wellhead and locking lid. Coarse sand will be poured into the space 

between the well and protective casing to a level of about 6 inches below the wellhead. The bollards 

and protective steel casing will be painted bright yellow for high visibility. 

3.6.3 Monitoring Well Development, Pump Installation and Groundwater Sampling 

3.6.3.1 Monitoring Well Development 

Monitoring well development will consist of surging and bailing groundwater until fines are 

removed and the water clarifies. This normally occurs between a minimum of five well volumes and 

a maximum of 10 well volumes and ensures that formation water enters the well and that the water 

affected by drilling is removed. The parameters of dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction 

potential (ORP), potential of hydrogen (pH), temperature, specific conductance, and turbidity will be 

monitored during the development cycle. Because DO and ORP are affected by the agitation of 

surging and bailing, the values obtained for these parameters during development may vary. If the 

development water is not relatively clear and sediment free after 10 well volumes, it will be assumed 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-9 

that further development will not be beneficial, and development will end. Development activities 

will be recorded in the field book and computer generated well development forms with all pertinent 

information will be constructed. 

3.6.3.2 Dedicated Groundwater Pump System Installation 

Dedicated pneumatic bladder pump sampling systems will be installed in each monitoring well 

after well development. The sampling system will consist of a stainless-steel bladder pump with the 

screen intake 3-feet below the top of the pump, small-diameter teflon coated stainless steel safety 

cable, 1/4-inch inside-diameter by 3/8-inch outside-diameter polyethylene air and discharge tubing, 

and a well cap assembly with fittings. The bladder pumps will be installed with the intake 

approximately 8 feet below the water table to allow for a decrease in water table elevation. The predetermined, exact length of tubing and safety cable will be requested when ordered. Cable ties will 

be applied about every 10 feet to secure the tubing to the safety cable. Pump installation will require 

two or more workers to lower the pump assembly into the well. The sampling ports of the bladder 

pump system terminate in a PVC plate and are part of a well cap assembly that consists of the plate 

and a 4-inch sleeve. This sleeve assembly slips over the 4-inch well casing at the wellhead. The 

sounding tubes will be finished at approximately the same elevation datum as the well cap assembly. 

All water level measurements will be from the sounding tube measuring-point datum. 

3.6.3.3 Groundwater Depth Monitoring, Purging, and Sampling 

Depths to groundwater will be measured with a water level interface probe through the sounding 

tubes installed with each well. Because the monitoring wells will be installed at depths greater than 

200 feet bgs, vertical deviation of monitoring wells will be measured after development using a 

WellNavTM (or similar) centralized camera system provided and operated by the drilling contractor. 

Deviations of less than 3 degrees are expected. Groundwater elevations will be corrected if need, 

based on the measured deviations. This is necessary to obtain more accurate groundwater elevations 

for evaluation of hydraulic head. 

Groundwater purging and sampling with a bladder pump is a low flow or micropurge technique 

that is considered applicable for use in permeable formations that have minimal water level 

drawdown, such as in the Pearl Harbor Basal Aquifer. For this technique, water level drawdown 

should be less than approximately 0.33 foot during purging. Drawdown measured in the monitoring 

wells during purging is anticipated to be negligible because of high formation permeability. Low 

flow purging requires water in the well to be in equilibrium with the aquifer formation and flow into 

the pump intake to be horizontal and laminar so that mixing from turbulence does not occur. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-10 

Therefore, this technique minimizes disturbance in the well screen and aquifer, which reduces 

turbidity, aeration, mixing, and loss of VOCs. 

The pumping flow rates should average about 0.5 liters per pump cycle, which is within the 

acceptable range of 0.1- to 0.5-liters per minute (L/min) for low flow purging. Liquefied nitrogen 

gas will be used as the compressed gas source for operation of the bladder pumps. It is anticipated 

that one or two large bottles of compressed gas will be needed to complete the purge and sample 

cycle including collecting quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples. 

During purging the water quality parameters of DO, ORP, temperature, pH, specific conductance, 

and turbidity will be measured and recorded. These groundwater sampling parameters will be 

measured continuously through use of a flow-thru cell connected to a U-52 multi-parameter meter, 

or similar meter. The sampling parameters and other pertinent sampling information will be 

included on the groundwater sampling form that is provided in Appendix C. Stabilization of the 

water quality parameters is the criterion for sample collection. Samples will be collected after three 

successive measurements of the water quality field parameters have stabilized according to the 

criteria shown on the groundwater sampling form. It is anticipated that about 5 gallons of water will 

be purged from each well. Following purging, the flow-through cell will be bypassed so that 

samples are collected directly from the pump discharge line. Approximately 1.25 gallons (5 liters) 

of water will be collected for each sample set. In total, about 6.25 gallons will be removed from 

each well during the low-flow purging and sampling process. 

Groundwater samples will be analyzed for the COPCs listed on the groundwater sampling Form 

(Appendix C). The analytical methods, container types and volumes, and preservation also are 

shown on the form. Additional details including holding times are provided on Table 4. 

Only initial baseline samples will be collected from the monitoring wells after installation and 

development to determine if contamination is present. Results of the initial samples will be provided 

in a data summary report. Future monitoring and frequency will be determined by NAVFAC 

pending the analytical groundwater results. 

3.7 SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION, HANDLING, AND SHIPPING 

Soil and groundwater samples will be identified on sample containers and on the chain-of-custody 

(CoC) forms in accordance with the existing site protocol and nomenclature. The last well installed 

at the Facility was RHMW05. Therefore, the next wells installed will be RHMW06 and RHMW07. 

Soil samples will be designated with an SO identifier followed by the sample depth. For example, 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-11 

RHMW06-SO-10 indicates a soil sample collected at 10 feet bgs. Groundwater samples will be 

designated with a GW identifier followed by the sequential sample number. For example, 

RHMW06-GW-01 indicates the first groundwater sample from well RHMW06. 

Standard COC protocol will be maintained during sample collection, handling, management, and 

shipment to the laboratory. Soil and water samples will be kept on ice after collection to keep them 

cool (4 +/-2 degrees Celsius [°C]) and packaged in coolers to be shipped to the laboratory as 

expeditiously as possible (normally the same day of collection). The EnCore® soil samples, if 

collected, which require preservation to 0°C, will be packed with dry ice to keep them frozen 

following collection and during transportation. With the exception of coolers containing dry ice, a 

temperature blank (a vial filled with distilled water) will be included in every cooler to determine the 

internal temperature of the cooler upon receipt at the laboratory. Soil samples and water samples 

will be shipped separately, and the samples for VOC analysis will be combined in one cooler and 

shipped with a trip blank. All samples will be shipped to APPL Inc. in Clovis, California via Federal 

Express for the earliest next day delivery to ensure that the samples arrive at the proper temperature. 

Copies of the laboratory provided CoC with signatures will be retained for verification and 

documentation. The field manager will coordinate shipment to the laboratory, and the project 

manager will contact the laboratory to determine any discrepancies or deficiencies upon receipt of 

the samples. 

3.8 EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION 

All down-hole-drilling and sampling tools will be cleaned prior to and after each use. A 

previously used staging area near the Adit 3 entrance at the Facility or another acceptable location 

will be used for decontamination. Liquids will be captured and containerized in properly labeled 

DOT approved 55-gallon drums or other suitable temporary containers. 

3.9 INVESTIGATION-DERIVED WASTE MANAGEMENT 

IDW will include soil and rock cuttings generated during borehole drilling operations, well 

development and purge water, and decontamination water. Non-hazardous waste labels with the 

required labeling information will be placed on the IDW containers. These labels will include 

contract information, site activity, date, contents, project type, comments, and NAVFAC contact 

information. IDW will be properly disposed of pending analytical results. Off-site disposal will be 

coordinated with the NAVFAC environmental directorate for approval and signing of non-hazardous 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 3-12 

waste manifests. Documentation will be maintained and included as required in the applicable 

reports. 

3.10 SURVEYING 

Surveying of the monitoring wells and other pertinent site features will be performed as needed. 

The monitoring wells will be surveyed after individual completion, or after they are both installed, 

and tied into an established control point at the Facility. Northing and easting coordinates will be 

referenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and grid system (Zone 4). 

Ground surface and well datum elevations (in feet) will be referenced to mean sea level. The survey 

data will be provided on the geologic and well construction logs and compiled in a data table. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-1 

SECTION 4 

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN 

This QAPP further defines the sampling and analysis discussed in Section 3 with procedures 

and methods incorporated. The QAPP includes the discussions of the following: 

 Summary of the data quality objectives (DQO) process, 

 QA/QC sampling and sample handling procedures, 

 Laboratory QC, 

 Field QC, 

 Analytical data quality review, 

 Data reporting and documentation, 

 Oversight and assessment, and 

 Corrective action. 

This QAPP is based on the previously approved work plan/sampling and analysis plan 

prepared by ESI (2012). 

4.1 SUMMARY OF THE DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES PROCESS 

The overall sampling and analysis strategy was developed using the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans, EPA QA/G-5, Quality Assurance 

Management Systems (EPA, 2001). 

4.1.1 Statement of the Problem 

Petroleum constituents have been detected in groundwater beneath the USTs at the Facility at 

concentrations above DOH EALs. These constituents may have the potential to impact 

groundwater production wells in the area. 

4.1.2 Identify the Goals 

The purpose of this project is to provide monitoring locations near the north perimeter 

boundary of the Facility to evaluate potential off-site migration of petroleum-related 

contamination in groundwater and to provide additional monitoring points to determine the 

distribution of hydraulic head for input into an existing groundwater model of this area. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-2 

4.1.3 Identify the Information 

The decisions will be made by comparing the groundwater analytical results to the DOH 

EALs for a site where groundwater is a current or potential drinking water source and a surface 

water body is located greater than 150 meters from the site (DOH, 2012). The Project 

Action Levels (PALs) are the most conservative of either the drinking water toxicity level 

or the gross contamination level and were previously agreed upon by the DOH and Navy for 

the Red Hill LTM program (ESI, 2012). The PALs for soil and groundwater are provided in 

Tables 2 and 3, respectively. 

4.1.4 Define the Boundaries of the Study 

The monitoring is limited to one round of baseline groundwater sampling of the new 

monitoring wells to be located within the Facility along the northern perimeter fence and lower 

access road. 

4.1.5 Develop the Analytical Approach 

 If COPC concentrations at a groundwater monitoring well exceeds the screening criteria, 

then the potential risk to groundwater exposure needs to be evaluated. 

 If COPC concentrations in groundwater do not exceed the screening criteria, then further 

monitoring needs to be conducted and fate and transport of COPCs in groundwater need 

to be evaluated. 

4.1.6 Specify Performance Acceptance Criteria 

The probability of procedural errors will be controlled through the consistent application of 

the standard sampling and analysis procedures and sound data quality management. 

4.1.7 Develop the Plan for Obtaining Data 

The monitoring well locations were chosen based upon previous investigations and

monitoring, and groundwater modeling requirements. The analytical methods and criteria are 

presented in subsequent sections. Also discussed are field and laboratory QA, data 

management, and data evaluation. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-3 

4.2 QA/QC SAMPLING AND SAMPLE HANDLING PROCEDURES 

All QA/QC sampling and sampling handling procedures will be performed in accordance

Technical Guidance Manual for Underground Storage Tank Closure and Release Response 

(DOH, 2000). 

4.2.1 Sample Collection Method 

Collection and handling procedures have been designed to ensure that project personnel will 

be able to collect, label, preserve, and transport samples in a consistent manner to maintain 

sample integrity for the intended purposes. Field activities will be performed in accordance 

with the procedures described in Section 3. Analytes, sample containers, preservation, and 

holding times for water samples are provided in Table 4. Groundwater samples collected for 

dissolved lead analysis will be field filtered. 

4.2.2 Field QC Samples 

The field QC samples for this project will consist of duplicates, matrix spike/matrix spike 

duplicates (MS/MSDs), and trip blanks. 

4.2.2.1 Duplicates 

Field duplicate samples are used to document the overall precision of the sample collection 

program. Field duplicate samples will be collected at a minimum of ten percent. The field 

duplicate sample will be assigned a unique identification number. The duplicate will be 

analyzed for the same parameters as project samples. 

4.2.2.2 MS/MSD 

Laboratory MS and MSD analysis are used to assess analytical accuracy and precision in 

response to potential matrix interference. If all of the MS and MSD recoveries are within 

specified ranges, then all the data is considered accurate. 

4.2.2.3 Trip Blanks 

Trip blanks are used to detect VOC contamination attributable to shipping and field

handling procedures. The trip blanks will be prepared by the analytical laboratory using reagent 

grade water in 40 milliliter volatile organic analysis (VOA) vials. Trip blanks will accompany 

every cooler that contain samples to be analyzed for VOCs and TPH-GRO. The trip blanks will 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-4 

travel with the cooler from the analytical laboratory to the field and will be returned to the 

analytical laboratory along with the project samples. The trip blanks will be analyzed for the 

same VOCs and TPH-GRO as the project samples with which they are shipped. 

4.2.3 Sample Containers 

The groundwater samples for chemical analyses will be placed in the sample containers listed 

in Table 4, preserved as indicated, and analyzed within the holding times. These containers, 

preservatives, and holding times are specified in the respective analytical methods. The contract 

laboratory will supply the required sample containers. 

4.2.4 Sample Labeling 

Soil and groundwater samples will be identified on sample containers and on the CoC forms 

in accordance with the existing site protocol and nomenclature as described in Section 3.7. The 

new wells installed at the Site will be identified as RHMW06 and RHMW07. 

4.2.5 Field Instrument Calibration/Documentation 

The following activities and documentation will be performed and maintained for all field 

equipment requiring periodic calibration: 

 Electronic equipment requiring calibration will be calibrated prior to use by those persons 

directly responsible for the equipment, such as the field staff. 

 Field equipment will be checked daily to verify that all of the equipment is calibrated 

according to the manufacturer’s instructions and is operating properly prior to use. 

 Field equipment that has been dropped, damaged, or is believed to be inaccurate will be 

tagged as in operable, removed from service and recalibrated. Field equipment that 

cannot be repaired or recalibrated will be replaced. 

 Documentation pertinent to the calibration and maintenance of field equipment will be 

maintained in a bound field logbook. Entries made into the logbook regarding the status 

of field equipment will contain, but are not necessarily limited to, the following 

information: 

o Date, time, and calibration readings; 

o Name of person conducting calibration; and 

o Type of field equipment being serviced and identification number (e.g.,

serial number) and reference standard used for calibration (e.g., pH of buffer 

solution). 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-5 

The field logbook or photocopies of applicable pages will be made part of the permanent 

project record upon completion of the project. 

4.3 LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS 

All laboratory activities will be performed in accordance with the Department of Defense 

(DoD) Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories, Version 4.2 (DoD, 2010). 

4.3.1 Project Analytes 

Analytical data will be generated using EPA methodologies published in “Test Methods for 

Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods SW-846” (EPA, 1996). The following 

analytical methods will be used during this investigation: 

 TPH-GRO – EPA Method 8015B; 

 TPH-DRO – EPA Method 8015B; 

 VOCs – EPA Method 8260B; 

 PAHs – EPA Method 8270C SIM; 

 Dissolved Lead – EPA Method 6020; 

 Methane – RSK SOP 175 

 Alkalinity – EPA 310.1 

 Sulfate – EPA 9056A 

 Nitrate/Nitrite as N – EPA Method 353.2. 

Standard sample preparation and extraction procedures for each analytical method will be 

used by the laboratory. Soil samples, if collected for VOC, PAH, and the TPH hydrocarbon 

fraction range analyses, will be analyzed by the same methods as the water samples with the 

same holding times. 

4.3.2 Reporting Limits 

Reporting limits are established by the laboratory based on the limits of quantitation (LOQs), 

historical data, and EPA limits established for the analytical methods employed. The reporting 

limits for samples may require adjustment due to the matrix interference or if high analyte 

concentrations necessitate sample dilution before analysis. Matrix interference and sample 

dilutions have the effect of increasing the reporting limits. Failure to meet the specified 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-6 

reporting limits will be described in the sample delivery group case narrative and summarized in 

the data review reports. 

4.4 ANALYTICAL DATA QUALITY REVIEW 

Data quality will be assessed by evaluating the accuracy, precision, representativeness, 

completeness, comparability, and sensitivity parameters. 

4.4.1 Accuracy 

Accuracy is defined as the degree of agreement of a measurement to an accepted reference or 

true value. When applied to a set of observed values or measurements, accuracy will be a 

combination of random and systematic error. Analytical accuracy will be defined as the percent 

recovery of an analyte in a reference standard or spiked sample. Accuracy limits for laboratory 

control samples are established by individual laboratories. The acceptance criteria for accuracy 

are dependent on the analytical method, and are based on historical laboratory data. Failure to 

meet the accuracy limits will be described in the sample delivery group as a case narrative and 

summarized in the data review reports. 

The percent differences of the continuing calibration are also an indication of accuracy. 

Sample results are qualified “UJ” for non-detects and “J” for detects, if the percent differences 

for a continuing calibration is out of the acceptable range, this will be reported by the laboratory 

in the analytical analysis. 

4.4.2 Precision 

Precision is defined as the agreement between a set of replicate measurements without 

assumption or regard about the true value. Precision limits for the laboratory measurements will 

be evaluated from the sample/sample duplicate analyses results. Field sampling precision will be 

evaluated from the field duplicate sample analyses results. 

The relative percent difference (RPD) measured between two duplicate samples will serve as 

the quantitative measure of precision. Precision for sampling is evaluated separately from 

precision for analytical data. Field co-located samples help clarify the distinction between 

uncertainty due to analytical variability and heterogeneity of the sample matrix. Laboratory 

control samples (LCS) and duplicate LCS analyses results will be used to assess analytical 

precision. 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-7 

4.4.3 Completeness 

Completeness is defined as the overall percentage of valid analytical results (including 

estimated results) compared to the total number of analytical results reported by the analytical 

laboratory. The completeness goal for this project is 90 percent. Successful completion of data 

acquisition can only be accomplished if both the field and laboratory portions of the project are 

performed according to the procedures described in the QAPP. 

4.4.4 Representativeness 

Representativeness is the degree that data accurately and precisely represents a

characteristic of a population, parameter variations at a sampling point, or an environmental 

condition. Representativeness will be achieved by conducting sampling in compliance with the 

sample collection procedures described in Section 3. Field duplicate samples will be collected 

and used as a means to assess field representativeness. 

4.4.5 Comparability 

Comparability expresses the confidence with which one data set can be compared to another 

data set. Comparability can be related to accuracy and precision because these quantities 

are measures of data reliability. Data are considered comparable if collection techniques, 

measurement procedures, methods, and reporting are equivalent for the samples within a sample 

set. Comparability for sampling will be determined to be acceptable based on the following 

criteria: a consistent approach to sampling was applied throughout the program; samples were 

consistently preserved; and samples were collected under similar physical conditions. 

4.4.6 Sensitivity 

Sensitivity is defined as the ability of an analytical method or instrument to detect the target 

analytes at the level of interest. Sensitivity is assessed based on calibration criteria, and 

instrument method detection limits (MDLs) and LOQs, which are presented in Table 2 and 

Table 3. Sensitivity will be measured by including a calibration standard for the analytes at or 

close to the quantitation limit. 

4.5 DATA REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION 

The laboratory will prepare and retain full analytical and QC documentation. The following 

items present the key components of the hard copy deliverables that will be generated: 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-8 

 Data packages along with supporting QC data, 

 Original copy CoC forms or certified copies, 

 Cover sheet listing the samples included in the report and narrative comments describing 

problems encountered during the analysis, 

 Tabulated presentation of analytical results for all samples including reporting limits for 

all analyses and any laboratory assigned data qualifiers (data qualifiers will be defined 

and documented in the case narrative), 

 Tabulated presentation of the results for all method and preparation blanks as applicable, 

and 

 Analytical results for all laboratory QC sample analyses (LCS results and recoveries, 

surrogate recoveries, recoveries, and RPDs, laboratory duplicate (LD), and serial dilution 

results). 

4.6 OVERSIGHT AND ASSESSMENT 

The QA/QC protocols and procedures will be implemented for all project activities. The 

plans and procedures implemented in the field and laboratory will be evaluated by direct 

oversight of activities, surveillance, and review of the documentation and data. The oversight 

and assessment of project activities will be performed by the BPM, PPM, or designated alternate. 

If problems or incidences of nonconformance are identified, the following section identifies 

personnel that will deal with them and corrective measures that will be implemented. 

4.7 CORRECTIVE ACTION 

The BPM and PPM are responsible for maintaining quality throughout this project. The FM 

is responsible for ensuring the day-to-day quality of field activities. 

All incidences of nonconformance with the established QC procedures will be expeditiously 

identified and controlled. No additional work that is dependent on a nonconforming activity that 

potentially affects data quality will be performed until the identified nonconformance is 

corrected. Documentation describing the nonconformity will be submitted to the BPM and PPM. 

The documentation will include corrective measures to prevent nonconformity from recurring. 

When errors, deficiencies, or out-of-control situations exist, the QA program provides 

systematic procedures, called “corrective actions,” to resolve problems and restore proper 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-9 

functioning to the analytical system. Laboratory personnel are alerted that corrective actions 

may be necessary if: 

 QC data are outside acceptable limits for precision and accuracy; 

 Blanks or LCS contain contaminants above acceptable limits; 

 There are unusual changes in detection limits; 

 Deficiencies are detected during internal or external audits or from the results of 

performance evaluation samples; or 

 Inquiries concerning data quality are received from clients. 

Corrective action procedures are often handled at the bench level by the analyst, who reviews 

the preparation or extraction procedure for possible errors, checks the instrument calibration, 

spike and calibration mixes, and instrument sensitivity. If the problem persists or cannot be 

identified, the matter is referred to the laboratory technical personnel, Laboratory PM, and/or QA 

managers (BPM and PPM) for further investigation. Once the problem is resolved, full 

documentation of the corrective action procedure will be filed with the QA managers through an 

anomaly or non-conformance form. This form will be kept by both QA managers. Corrective 

action documentation is routinely reviewed by the QA managers. 

Corrective action is dictated by the type and extent of the non-conformance. Corrective 

action may be initiated and carried out by non-supervisory staff, but final approval and data 

review by management is necessary before reporting any information. All potentially affected 

data must be thoroughly reviewed for acceptance or rejection. Samples are monitored closely so 

that they can be analyzed within the recommended holding time. However, should a sample be 

analyzed outside of the specified holding time, a Holding Time Violation Notification is filled 

out and the Laboratory PM is informed immediately. It is the Laboratory PM’s responsibility to 

inform the BPM and PPM so that a decision can be made to re-sample. 

The Laboratory PM or QA officer share the responsibility of reviewing all laboratory 

analytical activities to ensure compliance with the QC requirements outlined in this QAPP. This 

review serves as a control function in that it should be conducted frequently so deviations from 

method requirements will be immediately identified and corrected. 

4.7.1 Field Corrective Action 

The FM will review the procedures being implemented in the field for consistency with the 

established protocols. Sample collection procedures will be checked for completeness. When 
Work Plan/Sampling and Analysis Plan, Monitoring Well Installation 4-10 

procedures are not strictly in compliance with the established protocol, the deviation will be 

documented and reported to the BPM and PPM. Non-conformances will be expeditiously 

identified and controlled. No additional work that is dependent on a nonconforming activity that 

potentially affects data quality will be performed until the identified nonconformance is 

corrected. 

Corrective actions will be defined by the BPM and PPM and documented as appropriate. 

After implementation of the corrective action, the FM will provide the BPM and PPM with a 

written memorandum documenting field implementation. The memorandum will become part of 

the project files. 

4.7.2 Laboratory Corrective Action 

The Laboratory QA/QC officer or designated alternate will be responsible for initiating 

corrective action as necessary. Non-conformance or problems occurring at the laboratory will be 

reported to the BPM and PPM within one working day of identification. Appropriate corrective 

action will be required if analyses of QC samples or laboratory conditions do not meet criteria 

specified in the respective methods, the laboratory QAPP, or this work plan. 

The chemist or designated alternate will review the field and laboratory data generated for this 

project to determine if the project QA objectives are met. If any non-conformance is found in 

the laboratory analytical results or documentation procedures during data assessment and 

validation, the impact of those non-conformances on the overall project QA objectives will be 

assessed. Appropriate actions, including resampling or reanalysis, may be recommended to the 

BPM and PPM, so that the objectives can be achieved. 

4.7.3 Corrective Action Following Data Assessment 

The chemist or designated alternate will review the field and laboratory data generated for this 

project to determine if project QA objectives are met. If non-conformances are found in the field 

procedures, sample collection procedures, field documentation procedures, laboratory analytical 

and documentation procedures, or data review procedures, the impact of those non-conformances 

on the overall project objectives will be evaluated. Appropriate actions, including resampling or 

reanalysis, will be recommended to the BPM and PPM so that the project objectives can be 

achieved.
