Mr. Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E. <br />2 June 2022 <br />Page 3 <br />Geosyntec <br />consultants <br />Phase 3 — Annual Pollution Remediation Liabilities Evaluation: As requested by IRC SWDD, under <br />this phase, Geosyntec will prepare the annual environmental liability evaluation. This document is <br />prepared annually in response to Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 49 (GASB <br />No. 49), Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations, which requires <br />the inclusion and calculation of pollution remediation obligations. The objective of GASB No. 49 is to <br />enhance the usefulness and comparability of pollution remediation obligation information reported by <br />state and local governments. It has been assumed that the report will include evaluation of two sites, <br />including South Gifford Road Closed Landfill (4701 41St Street) and Former Premier Citrus Property <br />(375 82nd Street). In addition, two hours have been included for a Florida registered professional <br />engineer to conduct an independent review of the liability evaluation. <br />Phase 4 — Semi -Annual Sampling Activities: Under this phase, Geosyntec will perform 2022 field <br />activities related to the performance monitoring and plume groundwater monitoring. The semi-annual <br />activities will include field preparation, groundwater sampling, and water level measurements. Field <br />preparation activities will include scheduling and staffing, subcontracting, coordination with the <br />analytical laboratory, field equipment preparation, procurement of Passive Diffusion Bag (PDB) <br />samplers, and notifying FDEP and Vero Beach Municipal Airport of the field schedule. <br />Geosyntec will perform the groundwater sampling activities associated with the CVOC plume <br />monitoring well network. Sampling activities in 2022 will be completed with a combination of PDB <br />samplers, as a cost -savings measure, and traditional low -flow sampling techniques, to evaluate <br />groundwater quality and the occurrence of intrinsic biodegradation. PDBs are anticipated to be <br />purchased from EON Products, one of the few suppliers of this type of passive sampling device. <br />Groundwater sampling activities will be executed using a two -person sampling crew and will be <br />performed in general accordance with the FDEP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). <br />The proposed summer 2022 field event (tentatively scheduled for the week of 27 June 2022) will <br />include sampling and analyses of groundwater from nine monitoring wells. The summer 2022 field <br />event is budgeted to include one day for groundwater sampling activities and one day for PDB <br />deployment for the next sampling event (total of two [2] field days each with two persons). The <br />proposed winter 2022 field event (tentatively scheduled for December 2022) will include sampling of <br />42 monitoring wells (31 using PDBs and 11 wells via traditional purging techniques) to collect field <br />water quality parameters. The winter 2022 field event is budgeted to include a total of two (2) days <br />(with two persons) for groundwater sampling activities and PDB deployment for the summer 2023 <br />field event. Consistent field documentation and field protocols will be utilized to develop reliable data <br />to support the natural attenuation evaluation for the groundwater plume. The groundwater samples will <br />be analyzed in accordance with the sampling plan summarized in the 2021 Annual Groundwater <br />Monitoring Report. Quality control samples are proposed to be collected at a rate of 5% of total samples <br />as required by the most recent FDEP SOPs. <br />FR0766\XR22024.docx <br />engineers I scientists I innovators <br />
