Executive Summary

The United States (US) Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District on behalf of the

Army National Guard (ARNG) G9, Cleanup Branch contracted AECOM Technical Services, Inc.

(AECOM) to perform Preliminary Assessments (PAs) and Site Inspections (SIs) for

Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) Impacted Sites at ARNG

Facilities Nationwide. The ARNG is assessing potential effects on human health related to

processes at facilities that used per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) (a suite of related

chemicals), primarily in the form of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) released during firefighting

activities or training, although other PFAS sources are possible.

AECOM completed a PA for PFAS at Fort Pierce Readiness Center (RC) in Fort Pierce, Florida,

to assess potential PFAS release areas and exposure pathways to receptors. Historical aerial

imagery of the current Fort Pierce RC Boundary depicts an armory as early as 1958. The current

lease for Fort Pierce RC, which began in 1954, extends for a period of 99 years between Florida

ARNG (FLARNG) Armory Board of the state of Florida and the city of Fort Pierce. Based on the

US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3

(UCMR3) data, it was indicated that PFAS were detected in a public water system above the

USEPA Health Advisory level within 20 miles of the facility (Appendix A).

The performance of this PA included the following tasks:

· Reviewed data resources to obtain information relevant to suspected PFAS releases

· Conducted a 1-day site visit on 8 February 2019

· Interviewed current Fort Pierce RC personnel during the site visit including FLARNG

operations staff and Saint Lucie County Fire District Station No. 1 staff

· Completed visual site inspections (VSIs) at known or suspected PFAS release locations and

documented with photographs

Two areas, Fort Pierce RC Armory and the vehicle bays, have been identified as No Suspected

Releases (Figure ES-1). Based on the documented absence (2017-present) of the use or release

of PFAS-containing materials at Fort Pierce RC, no Areas of Interest (AOIs) were identified during

the PA. Evidence does not indicate that current or former ARNG activities contributed PFAS

contamination to soil, groundwater, surface water, or sediment at the facility or adjacent areas.

Fort Pierce RC will not move forward in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) process.

1. Introduction

1.1 Authority and Purpose

The United States (US) Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District on behalf of the

Army National Guard (ARNG) G9, Cleanup Branch contracted AECOM Technical Services, Inc.

(AECOM) to perform Preliminary Assessments (PAs) and Site Inspections (SIs) for

Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) Impacted Sites at ARNG

Facilities Nationwide under Contract Number W912DR-12-D-0014, Task Order

W912DR17F0192, issued 11 August 2017. The ARNG is assessing potential effects on human

health related to processes at their facilities that used per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

(a suite of related chemicals), primarily releases of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) although

other sources of PFAS are possible. In addition, the ARNG is assessing businesses or operations

adjacent to the ARNG facility (not under the control of ARNG) that could potentially be responsible

for a PFAS release.

PFAS are classified as emerging environmental contaminants that are garnering increasing

regulatory interest due to their potential risks to human health and the environment. PFAS

formulations contain highly diverse mixtures of compounds. Thus, the fate of these PFAS

compounds in the environment will vary. The regulatory framework at both federal and state levels

continues to evolve. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued Drinking Water

Health Advisories for PFOA and PFOS in May 2016, but there are currently no promulgated

national standards regulating PFAS in drinking water.

This report presents findings of a PA for PFAS at Fort Pierce Readiness Center (RC) in Fort

Pierce, Florida, in accordance with the CERCLA, as amended, the National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 300), and

USACE requirements and guidance.

This PA documents any fire training areas (FTAs) that may have been present as well as additional

locations where PFAS may have been released into the environment at Fort Pierce RC (also

referred to as “the facility”). The term PFAS will be used throughout this report to encompass all

PFAS chemicals being evaluated, including PFOS and PFOA, which are key components of

AFFF.

1.2 Preliminary Assessment Methods

The performance of this PA included the following tasks:

· Reviewed data resources to obtain information relevant to suspected PFAS releases

· Conducted a 1-day site visit on 8 February 2019

· Interviewed current Fort Pierce RC personnel during the site visit including FLARNG

operations staff and Saint Lucie County Fire District Station No. 1 staff

· Completed visual site inspections (VSI) at known or suspected PFAS release locations and

documented with photographs

1.4 Facility Location and Description

Fort Pierce RC (also referred to as the “facility”) is located at 2805 Delaware Avenue, Fort Pierce,

Florida, in St. Lucie County, western central Florida (Figure 1-1). The facility is surrounded by

urban and suburban developments.

The facility contains an armory with dining, office space, and an associated vehicle bay and

storage, and light maintenance area. The facility perimeter is bordered entirely by fences. The

Fort Pierce RC has a 99-year lease from city of Fort Pierce that began in 1954. An armory and

vehicles appear in aerial images of the Fort Pierce RC property as early as 1958.

1.5 Facility Environmental Setting

St. Lucie County is situated on the eastern edge of the Eastern Valley geomorphic province of the

Atlantic Coastal Lowlands. This province extends eastward from the topographically higher

Osceola Plain province of the central Florida peninsula to the Atlantic Ocean and spans the

eastern peninsula from Jacksonville, southward to southern palm Beach County. The Eastern

Valley is characteristically flat and has low elevation, with land surface elevations varying between

0 and 35 feet above mean seal level. Surficial sediments are predominantly marine terrace sands

and shelly sands deposited during the Pleistocene age Pamlico sea level highstand (Rupert

1992).

1.5.1 Geology

St. Lucie County is underlain by Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks resting on Mesozoic

volcanic basement rock. The Cenozoic rocks, which comprise the upper 3,000 feet of the

sediment column, are Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene carbonates that function as primary

freshwater aquifers. These rocks are overlain by Miocene- to recent-age siliclastics. Most water

wells penetrate Eocene and younger sediments. For the purpose of this report, the discussion of
PFAS Preliminary Assessment Report

Fort Pierce Readiness Center, Florida

geology will be limited to the younger strata, the Anastasia Formation and Pleistocene Series

(Figure 1-2) (Rupert 1992).

The upper Pleistocene Anastasia Formation varies from unconsolidated quartz sand and shell to

calcareous sandstone to a quartz sandy, tan to orange colored coquina limestone. This Formation

is perhaps best recognized as the coquina beach rock, which outcrops sporadically along the east

coast from St. Augustine, southward to Boca Raton. The Anastasia Formation is predominantly

shelly sands or calcareous sandstone containing mollusk shell beds. The depth to the top of the

unit is variable, generally ranging from between 10 and 20 feet below land surface in low swales

to as much as 50 feet under dune ridges. The formation locally attains a thickness of 50 to 100

feet. The Anastasia Formation is overlain by a veneer of Pleistocene and Holocene sands, clays,

and silts (Rupert 1992).

Surficial deposits in the St. Lucie county area are predominantly relict marine quartz sands, with

sandy muds and silts forming the substrate in the west marshy areas. Much of the sand was

deposited and reworked during sea level high stands of the late Pleistocene, having been carried

south from the eroding Appalachians by longshore currents (Rupert 1992).

1.5.2 Hydrogeology

The principal water-bearing units in the Fort Pierce RC area are the surficial and the Floridan

aquifer systems. The two aquifer systems are separated by the intermediate confining unit, which

contains sediments of lower permeability. The Floridan aquifer system has two major waterbearing zones, the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers, which are separated by a less permeable

middle confining unit (Reese 2002). The discussion below focuses on the uppermost aquifer, as

it is the most likely to be affected by PFAS releases.

The thickness of the surficial aquifer system in the Fort Pierce RC area varies from less than 50

feet to greater than 250 feet. The aquifer system consists of quartz sand, silts, clay, shell beds,

coquina, calcareous sandstone, and sandy, shelly limestone. The base of the aquifer system

commonly is defined where sediments grade from sand into clayey sand or clay; however, basal

sediments also can consist of limestone (Reese 2002).

The surficial aquifer system provides most of the potable water used in the area. It is unconfined

and receives recharge from rain-fall, canals, lakes, reservoirs, irrigation water, and probably some

upward leakage from the Floridan aquifer system (Reese 2002). The depth to water table at Fort

Pierce RC is approximately 0.5 to 1.5 feet (United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] 2019).

Locally at Fort Pierce RC, the groundwater flow direction is predominantly to the northeast (Figure

1-2). Several wells exist to the northeast of the facility, and the active and inactive wells vary in

use from potable to non-potable public supply wells. There are five potable water wells located

around the armory building within the facility boundary. However, these on-site wells are not used

for drinking water purposes. Drinking water to the facility is provided by Fort Pierce Utility Authority.

The on-site wells have not been sampled for PFAS. Based on the USEPA UCMR3 data, it was

indicated that PFAS were detected in a public water system above the USEPA Health Advisory

level within 20 miles of the facility (Appendix A).

1.5.3 Hydrology

The St. Lucie Estuary is located in southeast Florida, in St. Lucie county, and is a major tributary

to the Southern Indian River Lagoon. The St. Lucie Estuary is divided into four distinct regions:

the North Fork, the South Fork, the middle estuary, and the lower estuary (Tetra Tech 2009). The

discussion below focuses on the North Fork watershed (Figure 1-3).
PFAS Preliminary Assessment Report

Fort Pierce Readiness Center, Florida

6

The North Fork Sub-watershed comprises of the North Fork and North Mid-Estuary basins and

has a total drainage area of approximately 119,168 acres. The North Fork Sub-watershed is

located in eastern St. Lucie County. Surface water flow at the Fort Pierce RC is to the southeast,

towards the Ten Mile Creek. (Tetra Tech 2009).

1.5.4 Climate

The climate at Fort Pierce RC is subtropical, with warm, humid summers and winters. In January,

the average temperature is 63.0 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). July and August have the highest

average temperatures, at 81.9°F. The greatest mean monthly precipitation occurs in September.

The average annual precipitation is 52.01 inches (Climate-Data 2019).

1.5.5 Current and Future Land Use

Fort Pierce RC currently contains an armory with dining, office space, vehicle bays, and an

outdoor vehicle storage area for the ARNG. The armory complex includes parking areas. Access

to the facility is controlled by fencing. Land use is not expected to change. The city of Fort Pierce

is highly urbanized and consists of lower density urban land use types. Major land uses in St.

Lucie county include urban areas (53,656 acres), natural areas (25,043 acres), and citrus farms

(20,678 acres) (Tetra Tech 2009).

2. Fire Training Areas

Through Environmental Data Resource (EDR) Reports and interviews with Fort Pierce RC

personnel who had knowledge dating back to 2017, no FTAs were identified within the Fort Pierce

RC facility during the PA. Aerial photos covering 1958 to present show no sign of an FTA, and

development of the property has remained relatively unchanged from 1958 to present. Interview

records appear in Appendix B. Fire protection for the facility is provided by Saint Lucie County

Fire District.

3. Non-Fire Training Areas

Two non-FTAs where PFAS were potentially released were identified during the PA. Descriptions

of the non-FTAs are presented below, and the non-FTAs are shown on Figure 3-1. Interview

records appear in Appendix B, and photographs appear in Appendix C.

3.1 Armory

The Armory is located in the northwest portion of the facility property (Figure 3-1). The geographic

coordinates are 27°26'36.37"N; 80°21'13.13"W. The armory is used for drills and is not outfitted

with a fire suppression system. During the site visit, ABC Dry chemical extinguishers were found

throughout the facility. The kitchen portion of the armory is outfitted with a fire suppression system.

At the time of the visit and to interviewee knowledge dating back to 2017, the fire suppression

system contained potassium alkaline base solution. The kitchen also contained K-class fire

extinguishers, which do not contain PFAS. A potential PFAS release to the environment at the

armory is not suspected.

3.2 Vehicle Bays

The vehicle bays are located on the eastern portion of the facility property (Figure 3-1). The

geographic coordinates are 27°26'34.66"N; 80°21'10.70"W. The vehicle bays were used to store

vehicles from the military police unit and is not outfitted with a fire suppression system or floor

drains. The military police unit vehicles were mounted with missile pods. These vehicles were

stored and maintained in the vehicle bays. It is unknown if AFFF may have been present when

these vehicles were stored at the facility. Currently, the vehicle bays serve as a multipurpose area

used for vehicle storage, light vehicle maintenance, and leisure activities area. During the site

visit, extinguishers were not observed in the vehicle bays. At the time of the visit and to interviewee

knowledge dating back to 2017, there were no vehicle fires at the facility. A potential PFAS release

to the environment at the armory is not suspected.

4. Emergency Response Areas

Based on interviews with FLARNG personnel, whose knowledge covers 2017 to present, and

review of EDR Reports, no emergency response areas were identified within the Fort Pierce RC

facility during the PA. All emergency services for the current Fort Pierce RC are provided by the

Saint Lucie County Fire District. No information was available regarding emergency responses

prior to interviewee knowledge. Interview records appear in Appendix B.

5. Adjacent Sources

One potential off-facility PFAS source adjacent to Fort Pierce RC was identified during interviews.

A Fort Pierce RC interviewee indicated St. Lucie County Fire Department responded to a house

fire near the Fort Pierce RC approximately 6 months prior to the site visit. No further information

on the event was available. It is unknown whether the St. Lucie County Fire Department

responded to the fire with AFFF. St. Lucie County Fire Station no. 1 staff did not recall the fire. It

was noted that the firetrucks, at the fire station, contain 3% foam solutions on trucks in gallon

containers.
PFAS Preliminary Assessment Report

Fort Pierce Readiness Center, Florida

15

6. Preliminary Conceptual Site Model

Based on the PA findings, no PFAS release areas were identified, therefore, there are no AOIs at

Fort Pierce RC. A conceptual site model (CSM) identifies three components necessary for

potentially complete exposure pathways related to a site: (1) source, (2) pathway, and (3) receptor.

If any of these elements are missing, the pathway is considered incomplete. Based on the findings

of this PA, there are no PFAS sources that originate at Fort Pierce RC or from activities associated

with Fort Pierce RC.
PFAS Preliminary Assessment Report

Fort Pierce Readiness Center, Florida

7. Conclusions

This report presents a summary of available information gathered during the PA on the use and

storage of AFFF and other PFAS-related activities at Fort Pierce RC. The PA findings are based

on the information presented in Appendix A and Appendix B.

7.1 Findings

No PFAS releases relating to current or historical activities at Fort Pierce RC were identified during

this PA. The following areas discussed in Section 3 (Figure 7-1) and presented in Table 7-1

below were determined to have no suspected release:

Table 7-1: No Suspected Release Areas

No Suspected Release

Area Used by

Rationale for No Suspected

Release Determination

Armory FLARNG

Interviewees indicated the fire

extinguishers located around the

facility have contained ABC dry

chemical. The fire suppression

system installed in the facility

kitchen contains a potassium

alkaline base solution. EDR aerial

photos covering 1958 to present

show no sign of an FTA.

Vehicle Bays FLARNG

Building does not contain fire

suppression system. Interviewees

indicated no engine or vehicle fires

on facility. Bays used for vehicle

storage, leisure activities, and light

maintenance. The units that have

occupied the facility since 1969

are unlikely to have used AFFF for

fire protection.

7.2 Uncertainties

A number of information sources were investigated during this PA to determine the potential for

PFAS-containing materials to have been present, used, or released at the facility. Historically,

documentation of PFAS use was not required because PFAS were considered benign. Therefore,

records on the disposition of PFAS or the use of PFAS in training, firefighting, or other nontraditional activities were not typically kept by the facility or available during the PA.

The conclusions of this PA are predominantly based on the information provided during interviews

with personnel who had direct knowledge of the facility. Sometimes, the provided information was

vague. Gathered information has a degree of uncertainty due to the absence of written

documentation, the limited number of personnel with direct knowledge due to staffing changes,

the time passed since PFAS were first used (1969 to present), and a reliance on personal

recollection. There is also a possibility the PA missed a source of PFAS, as the science of how

PFAS may enter the environment continually evolves.
PFAS Preliminary Assessment Report

Fort Pierce Readiness Center, Florida

17

In order to minimize the level of uncertainty, readily available data regarding the use and storage

of PFAS were reviewed, current personnel were interviewed, multiple persons were interviewed

for the same potential source area, and potential source areas were visually inspected.

Table 7-2 summarizes the uncertainties associated with the PA:

No or limited information was available on

the use and/or storage of AFFF at the

facility prior to 2017

7.3 Potential Future Actions

Based on the documented absence (2017-present) of the use or release of PFAS-containing

materials at Fort Pierce RC, no AOIs were identified during the PA. Evidence does not indicate

that current or former ARNG activities (if past activities were consistent with current operational

procedures) contributed PFAS contamination to soil, groundwater, surface water, or sediment at

the facility or adjacent areas. Fort Pierce RC will not move forward in the CERCLA process.
