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 a Remedial Action Plan Modification (RAPM) Addendum
No. 3, prepare an annual pollution liabilities evaluation report for identified IRC-owned
environmental liabilities, and represent IRC during interactions with regulatory agencies.
Geosyntec has prepared this proposal (professional services as Exhibit 1) as Work Order No.
CCNA-2014 WO No. 4 for the Continuing Contract Agreement for Professional Services
between IRC SWDD and Geosyntec. 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
XR 16005\XR 16001.docx

to assess CVOC plume centerline concentrations over time; and (iii) assess the impact of
biological and physical natural attenuation processes on CVOC plume degradation.
In consideration of the ongoing natural attenuation processes occurring at the site, the
enhancement of these biological processes via the injection of an electron donor was proposed,
and agreed to in concept by the FDEP in correspondence dated 2 August 2006. A RAP
Modification (RAPM) was submitted to the FDEP outlining the injection of an electron donor,
Emulsified Oil Substrate (EOS®), in May 2007. Geosyntec implemented the RAPM activities in
April through June 2008, as documented in the RAPM Implementation Report submitted to
FDEP as Appendix A to the June 2008 Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report. RAPM
Addendum implementation, which included bioremediation implementation in the former source
area, was completed in June and July 2009 and documented in the July 2009 RAPM Addendum
Implementation Report. The ongoing semi-annual groundwater monitoring activities have
documented the success of this approach. EOS® is designed to provide a carbon source to the
indigenous bacteria for up to approximately three years. In response to FDEP's request dated 3
May 2011 and supported by groundwater monitoring results, a RAPM Addendum No. 2 was
prepared and presented an electron donor injection plan to address recalcitrant chlorinated
volatile organic compound (CVOC) impacts in the former source area and to redone the two
downgradient biobarriers, which are serving as a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to treat a
portion of the dissolved plume. Groundwater monitoring conducted at the Site suggests that it is
appropriate to plan for an additional injection in 2016.
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 —Prepare RAPM Addendum No. 3;
• Task 4—Annual Pollution Remediation Liabilities Evaluation;
• Task 5 —Semi-Annual Sampling Activities; and
• Task 6—Data Evaluation and Semi-Annual Reporting.
The remainder of this section presents a general description of the activities to be performed in
each task.

Task I — 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 eight hours per
sampling/reporting event and two hours related to the RAPM Addendum for the project manager
and two hours 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 has been assumed that one of these meetings will be in person and one meeting
with be attended by conference call. 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.
Phase 3 — Prepare RAPM Addendum No. 3: Under this task, in response to FDEP's request
dated 21 September 2015 and supported by groundwater monitoring results, Geosyntec will
prepare RAPM Addendum No. 3 to propose a focused injection of EOS® (or equivalent electron
donor) to address CVOC impacts in the vicinity of GR-MW30B, based upon the apparent
breakdown of the electron donor last injected in February 2012 (based upon TOC results). It is
recommended that the injection activities include a buffering agent to counter the low pH
measurements recorded in GR-MW26B and GR-MW30B. (Note: Budget has not been included
for the implementation of additional bioremediation injection activities that will be proposed in
the RAPM).
Task 4 —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 evaluation of two sites, including South Gifford Road
Closed Landfill (4701 41St Street) and Old Administration Building (1840 25'h Street).
Task 5—Semi-Annual Sampling Activities: Under this task, Geosyntec will perform 2016 field
activities related to the plume groundwater monitoring. The semi-annual 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, procurement of Passive Diffusion Bag (PDB) samplers
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 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 2016 sampling event will be deployed during the summer 2016 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 2016 (tentatively in June) and will
include sampling of 49 monitoring wells (39 wells using PDBs and 10 wells with traditional
sampling techniques). The annual field event is budgeted to include three days for groundwater
sampling activities and one day for PDB deployment for the next sampling event (total of four
field days). The proposed semi-annual field event will be conducted in winter 2016 (tentatively
in December) and will include sampling of 28 monitoring wells (25 wells using PDBs and 3
wells 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 evaluation for the groundwater
plume. The groundwater samples will be analyzed in accordance with the sampling plan
summarized in the December 2015 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 two 55-gallon polyethylene drums and
oversight of drum disposal concurrent with one of the sampling events.
Overall, budget has been included for nine field days with a two-person team (i.e., 18 man days)
and associated field expenses for sampling, plus four hours for IDW management.

Task 6 — Data Evaluation and Semi-Annual Reporting: Under this task, Geosyntec will
perform data evaluation activities and reporting. The reporting includes preparation of one semi-
annual report (simplified format) and one annual report for submittal to FDEP.
The annual report will be consistent with the groundwater monitoring reports historically
submitted to FDEP for this Site and the data evaluation activities will include database
management, screening results against applicable regulatory criteria, GIS figure preparation,
time trend analyses, and/or statistical data analyses. This report will be prepared following the
summer groundwater sampling event. The annual report will be 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 semi-annual report will be a letter report with attachments, including a monitoring well
location map and tables of the field and laboratory results. Data evaluation activities for the
semi-annual report will include database management, screening results against applicable
regulatory criteria, and summary data table preparation. This report will be prepared following
the fall/winter groundwater sampling event.
The draft annual and semi-annual 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.
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 2016. The draft RAPM Addendum No. 3 will be submitted to
IRC SWDD for review within 60 days of receipt of authorization from IRC.
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
project requirements, our experience gained from executing similar tasks for SWDD since 2002
at the Site, and experience with groundwater monitoring and reporting activities at similar
facilities. Geosyntec will not exceed the budget estimate without prior approval and written
authorization from IRC SWDD.
