Mr. Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E. <br />22 April 2024 <br />Page 4 <br />Geosyntec <br />consultants <br />be analyzed in accordance with the sampling plan summarized in the 2023 Annual Groundwater <br />Monitoring Report (GMR). Quality control (QC) samples are proposed to be collected at a rate of 5% <br />of total samples as required by the most recent FDEP SOPS, resulting in 2 QC samples annually. <br />Geosyntec will conduct a round of groundwater level measurements in accordance with the sampling <br />plan summarized in the 2023 Annual GMR concurrent with each semi-annual groundwater sampling <br />event (budgeted for 1 day with 2 -person field team for each event). Depth to groundwater <br />measurements will be recorded to the nearest 0.01 -ft in each monitoring well, including existing <br />monitoring wells and applicable City of Vero Beach wells (assumed up to 60 wells per event). Overall, <br />for field activities, budget has been included for 6 field days with 2 persons, mobilization time for field <br />personnel, and associated field expenses for sampling. <br />Due to wet site conditions and difficult access to certain well clusters, costs for rental of a utility phase <br />vehicle are included for 1 day of groundwater level measurements and 1 day of sampling per event (4 <br />total days). <br />It is anticipated that purge water (investigation -derived waste [IDW]) will be containerized in a 55 - <br />gallon polyethylene drum and temporarily staged on Site for characterization prior to removal and <br />disposal. Costs are included herein for purchase of one 55 -gallon polyethylene drum, drum removal <br />and disposal by a licensed subcontractor, and for 4 hours of drum removal oversight for 1 person. <br />Brush clearing by a contractor is necessary on a biannual basis to clear overgrowth and maintain access <br />to the well clusters and was last performed at the Site in October 2022. In 2024, Geosyntec will provide <br />oversight for a contractor to clear shrubs, vines, and tall grass in an approximate 6 feet radius around <br />select well clusters using a track loader with mower deck. Costs are included for one day oversight <br />(with one person) and for subcontractor costs. <br />Phase 5 — Data Evaluation and Annual Reporting: Under this phase, Geosyntec will perform data <br />evaluation activities and reporting. The reporting includes preparation of the 2024 Annual GMR for <br />submittal to FDEP. <br />The 2024 Annual GMR will be consistent with the groundwater monitoring reports historically <br />submitted to FDEP for this Site and the data evaluation activities will include database management, <br />screening results against applicable regulatory criteria, GIS figure preparation, time trend analyses, <br />and/or statistical data analyses. The report will be supported by attachments containing Chain -of - <br />Custody sheets, field notes and observations, water sampling logs, maps, graphs, analytical results, <br />quantitative statistical evaluation, and other applicable materials. As part of the statistical analysis, <br />trend analysis graphs showing temporal concentrations of constituents and a summary of the Mann - <br />Kendall statistics will be included to identify increasing, decreasing, or no trends in groundwater <br />constituent concentrations. The draft 2024 Annual GMR will be submitted to IRC SWDD for review <br />FR0766\XR24015.docx <br />engineers I scientists I innovators <br />
