Subject: Proposal to Provide One Year of Groundwater Monitoring/Reporting and
Related Consulting Services
Former South Gifford Road Landfill
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida
Dear Mr. Mehta:
Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this letter proposal to the Indian River
County (IRC) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to provide professional services for Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)-required activities associated with continued
implementation of the groundwater monitoring for the chlorinated volatile organic compound
(CVOC) plume at the Former South Gifford Road Landfill located in Vero Beach, Indian River
County, Florida (Site). This fee proposal is based on correspondence with the FDEP and
discussions with IRC. As requested by IRC, this fee proposal includes budget to complete two
semi-annual monitoring and reporting events for the plume monitoring well network, as well as
related consulting services to prepare an annual pollution liabilities evaluation report for
identified IRC -owned environmental liabilities, represent IRC during interactions with regulatory
agencies, and dismantle the On -Site Interim Pump & Treat (IP&T) System. Geosyntec has
prepared this proposal (professional services as Exhibit 1) as Work Order No. 7 for the
Continuing Contract Agreement for Professional Services between IRC SWDD and Geosyntec,
dated 18 June 2013. The remainder of this letter provides an overview of the project
background, a description of the proposed scope of work a budget estimate, and a discussion of
the schedule for accomplishment of the work described herein.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
As part of the long-term monitoring activities for the identified CVOC plume associated with the
South Gifford Road Landfill, a network of monitoring wells will require sampling on an annual
or semi-annual basis to: (i) confirm that the CVOC plume is not migrating by monitoring the
lateral and vertical extent, (ii) evaluate the impact of source and dissolved plume bioremediation

Mr. Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E.

to assess CVOC plume centerline concentrations over time, and (iii) assess the impact of
biological and physical natural attenuation processes on CVOC plume degradation.
The on -Site IP&T system was installed to provide hydraulic containment of the high
concentration area of the dissolved groundwater plume in December 2002. A Remedial Action
Plan (RAP) was developed in July 2003, concurrent with the groundwater monitoring activities
and IP&T system operation. The RAP outlined a proposed remedy for the VOC-impacted area
of the Site, including (but not limited to), expansion of the existing IP&T system and
construction of an infiltration gallery for effluent re-injection, which was completed in 2004.
The infiltration gallery was retrofitted in 2008, in accordance with design specifications
described in the May 2007 RAP Modification document, and is currently being used as part of
the biobarrier transect 1 at the Site. The FDEP approved discontinuing the use of the IP&T
system in a letter dated 2 August 2006, provided the system shutdown coincided with the
approval and implementation of a Remedial Action Plan Modification (RAPM). A RAPM was
submitted in May 2007 and approved by FDEP in August 2007 Geosyntec discontinued IP&T
system operation and implemented the RAPM activities in April through June 2008. Since that
time, the air stripper has been kept on-site for treatment of purge water. However, the blower on
the air stripper is no longer functional and liquid waste generated during groundwater sampling
events is currently being containerized in 55 -gallon drums for offsite disposal so the system can
be dismantled.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed scope of work consists of semi-annual groundwater monitoring and reporting and
related activities to be performed on behalf of IRC SWDD at the Former South Gifford Road
Landfill. For the purpose of budgeting, the scope of work has been divided into the following
tasks:
• Task 1 — Project Management;
• Task 2 — Meetings/Regulatory Interaction;
• Task 3 — Annual Pollution Remediation Liabilities Evaluation;
• Task 4 — Semi -Annual Sampling Activities*
• Task 5 — Data Evaluation and Semi -Annual Reporting; and
• Task 6 — IP&T System Dismantling
The remainder of this section presents a general description of the activities to be performed in
each task.

Task 1 — Project Management: Under this task, Geosyntec will perform project planning and
management responsibilities, such as correspondence with IRC SWDD and FDEP, invoice
review, project coordination, and project administration. The budget includes two hours per
month for the project manager over a 12 -month project duration and one hour per sampling/field
event has been included for the principal -in -charge.
Task 2 — Meetings/Regulatory Interaction: Under this task, Geosyntec will prepare for and
attend up to two meetings, with IRC SWDD, FDEP, and/or IRC Board of County Commission,
as necessary. It is anticipated that one of these meetings may include preparation of a
presentation of the redevelopment assessment activities and results conducted to date under
authorization from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Committee (TCRPC). Also, under this
task, four hours has been included for the project manager to provide ongoing support to IRC
SWDD related to interaction and negotiation with FDEP.
Task 3 — Annual Pollution Remediation Liabilities Evaluation: As requested by IRC SWDD,
under this task, Geosyntec will prepare the annual environmental liability evaluation. This
document is prepared annually in response to Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 49 (GASB No. 49), Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution
Remediation Obligations, which requires the inclusion and calculation of pollution remediation
obligations. The objective of GASB No. 49 is to enhance the usefulness and comparability of
pollution remediation obligation information reported by state and local governments. It has
been assumed that the report will include the evaluation of five sites, including South Gifford
Road Closed Landfill (4701 41St Street), Old Administration Building (1840 25th Street), Former
Cattle Dip Site (9255 93rd Street), North County Reverse Osmosis Plant (7751 58th Avenue), and
Shadowbrook Estates (7775 85th Street).
Task 4 — Semi -Annual Sampling Activities: Under this task, Geosyntec will perform all field
activities related to the plume groundwater monitoring. The field activities will include field
preparation, groundwater sampling, and water level measurements. Field preparation activities
will include scheduling and staffing subcontracting, coordination with the analytical laboratory,
field equipment preparation, and notifying FDEP and Vero Beach Municipal Airport of the field
schedule.
Geosyntec will perform the groundwater sampling activities associated with the CVOC plume
monitoring wells. Sampling activities will be completed with a combination of Passive
Diffusion Bag (PDB) samplers and traditional low -flow sampling techniques. PDBs are
anticipated to be purchased from EON Products, one of the few suppliers of this type of passive
sampling device. This effort is anticipated to be completed by two people within one day during
each of the semi-annual sampling events to save an additional mobilization (e.g. the PDBs to be
sampled during the winter 2014 sampling event will be deployed during the summer 2014 event
after sampling activities are completed).

Groundwater sampling activities will be executed using a two -person sampling crew and will be
performed in general accordance with the FDEP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The
proposed annual field event will be conducted in summer 2014 (tentatively in June) and will
include sampling of 59 monitoring wells (43 wells using PDBs and 16 wells with traditional
sampling techniques). The annual field event is budgeted to include four days for groundwater
sampling activities and one day for PDB deployment for the next sampling event (total of five
field days). The proposed semi-annual field event will be conducted in winter 2014 (tentatively
in December) and will include sampling of 30 monitoring wells (29 wells using PDBs and 1 well
with traditional sampling techniques). The semi-annual field event is budgeted to include two
days for groundwater sampling activities and one day for PDB deployment for the next sampling
event (total of three days) Consistent field documentation and field protocols will be utilized to
develop reliable data to support the natural attenuation of the groundwater plume The
groundwater samples will be analyzed in accordance with the sampling plan summarized in the
December 2013 Semi -Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report.
Geosyntec will conduct a complete round of groundwater level measurements coincident with
each semi-annual groundwater sampling event (budgeted for one day with two -person field team
for each event). Depth to groundwater measurements will be recorded to the nearest 0.01 -ft in
each monitoring well, including existing monitoring wells and applicable City of Vero Beach
wells (assumed up to 88 wells per event).
It is anticipated that purge water (investigation -derived waste [IDW]) will be containerized in
55 -gallon polyethylene drums and temporarily staged on Site for characterization prior to
removal and disposal. Costs are included herein for three 55 -gallon polyethylene drums,
analysis of three TCLP sample for IDW characterization, and two transport trips.
Overall, budget has been included for ten field days with a two -person team (i.e., 20 man days)
and associated field expenses.
Task 5 - Data Evaluation and Semi -Annual Reporting: Under this task Geosyntec will
perform data evaluation activities and prepare two semi-annual reports for submittal to FDEP.
Data evaluation activities will include database management, screening results against applicable
regulatory criteria, GIS figure preparation, time trend analyses, and/or statistical data analyses.
The results of groundwater sampling associated with the CVOC plume monitoring will be
presented in a report supported by attachments containing Chain -of -Custody sheets, field notes
and observations water sampling logs, maps, graphs, analytical results, and any other applicable
materials. The draft reports will be submitted to IRC SWDD for review prior to submittal to
FDEP. Each final semi-annual report will be signed and sealed by a Florida registered
professional engineer or geologist.

Task 6 — IP&T System Dismantling: Under this task, Geosyntec will provide contractor
oversight to dismantle and dispose of the IP&T system and system appurtenances. The air
stripper will be cleaned and decontaminated. It is anticipated that the concrete will be recycled.
Parts of the system that are in reusable condition will be retained for reuse by IRC, if needed
(this may include submersible pumps in the recovery wells and/or the air stripper). Recovery
wells will be properly abandoned by a Florida -licensed driller. Geosyntec will remove and
dispose of above -ground piping/conduit, characterize the waste generated as part of these
activities, and oversee waste removal. Overall, the fieldwork is anticipated to require seven man
days. Labor hours and related field expenses have been included for this fieldwork, as well as
time for contractor procurement and field support.
SCHEDULE
Geosyntec will conduct the groundwater monitoring and reporting activities on a semi-annual
basis as described herein. The semi-annual groundwater monitoring events will be tentatively
conducted in June and December 2014. The on -Site P&T system dismantling can be conducted
upon authorization from IRC SWDD and based on subcontractor availability.
BUDGET ESTIMATE
A budget estimate for the scope of work outlined in Tasks 1 through 6 of this proposal is
summarized in the following table, and a detailed budget estimate is provided as Attachment A.
The budget estimate presented in this proposal is based on Geosyntec's understanding of the
