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 and represent IRC during interactions with regulatory
agencies. Geosyntec has prepared this proposal (professional services as Exhibit A) as Work Order
No. CCNA-2018 WO No. 5 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 to assess
CVOC plume centerline concentrations over time; and (iii) assess the impact of biological and
physical natural attenuation processes on CVOC plume degradation.

consultants
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. In response to FDEP's request and
supported by groundwater monitoring results, Geosyntec conducted an injection event in 2017
[Remedial Action Plan Modification Addendum No. 3 (RAPM 3)] to remediate recalcitrant CVOC
groundwater impacts in the former source area. Semi-annual performance monitoring associated
with bioremediation implementation is ongoing at monitoring wells GR-MW3OB and GR-
MW37B and conducted concurrently with groundwater monitoring of the plume monitoring well
network.
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;
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 six hours per
sampling/reporting event and one hour per month for the project manager (24 hours total), two
hours for the principal -in -charge, and one hour per month (12 hours total) for the administrative
assistant.
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 will

consultants
be by conference call. Also, under this task, six hours has been included for the principal -in -charge
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 evaluation of two sites, including South Gifford Road Closed Landfill (4701 41'
Street) and Old Administration Building (1840 25th Street). In addition, two hours have been
included for a Florida registered professional engineer to conduct an independent review of the
liability evaluation.
Task 4 — Semi -Annual Sampling Activities: Under this task, Geosyntec will perform 2019 field
activities related to the performance monitoring and 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. Performance monitoring well GR-MW3OB and GR-MW37B associated with the
RAPM3 implementation is included in the semi-annual sampling plan for analysis of
bioremediation performance parameters, including dissolved gasses, total organic carbon, and
dechlorinating microbial concentration.
Geosyntec will perform the groundwater sampling activities associated with the CVOC plume
monitoring well network. 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. One PDB harness
(used for deployment) will be purchased from EON Products for monitoring well GR-MWO2B.
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 summer 2019 field event (tentatively scheduled for June) will include sampling of ten
monitoring wells (seven wells using PDBs and three wells with traditional sampling techniques).
The summer 201,9 field event is budgeted to include one day for groundwater sampling activities
and one day for PDB deployment for the next sampling event (total of two field days each with
two persons). The proposed winter 2019 field event (tentatively scheduled for December) will
include sampling of 47 monitoring wells (38 wells using PDBs and nine wells with traditional
sampling techniques). The winter 2019 field event is budgeted to include a total of three and one-
half days (with two persons) for groundwater sampling activities and PDB deployment for the

summer 2020 sampling event. 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 2018 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report. Quality control samples are proposed to be
collected at a rate of 5% of total samples as required by the most recent FDEP SOPs.
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 95 wells per event). Due to wet site conditions and difficult access to certain well
clusters, costs for rental of a utility task vehicle are included for one day of groundwater level
measurements and one day of sampling per event (4 total days).
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 purchase and delivery to the site for two 55 -gallon
polyethylene drums and for one-half day of drum disposal oversight for one person.
Geosyntec will provide oversight for a contractor to clear brush in an approximate 6 feet radius
around select well clusters in conjunction with the summer 2019 groundwater sampling event to
maintain access to well clusters. Costs are included for one day oversight (with one person) and
for subcontractor costs.
Overall, for field activities, budget has been included for nine and one-half field days for one
person, eight field days for a second person, (i.e., 17.5 man days) and associated field expenses for
sampling.
Task 5 — Data Evaluation and Semi -Annual Reporting: Under this task, Geosyntec will perform
data evaluation activities and reporting. The reporting includes preparation of one summer 2019
report (simplified format) and one winter 2019 report for submittal to FDEP.
The summer 2019 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
summer 2019 report will include database management, screening results against applicable
regulatory criteria, and summary data table preparation. This report will be prepared following the
June groundwater sampling event.
The winter 2019 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. The winter 2019 annual report will be supported by
attachments containing Chain -of -Custody sheets, field notes and observations, water sampling
logs, maps, graphs, analytical results, quantitative statistical evaluation, and other applicable
materials. As part of the statistical analysis, trend analysis graphs showing temporal concentrations
of constituents and a summary of the Mann -Kendall statistics will be included to identify
increasing, decreasing, or no trends in groundwater constituent concentrations. Historical data
summaries will be included for monitoring wells recommended for removal from the monitoring
plan.
The draft summer and winter 2019 reports will be submitted to IRC SWDD for review prior to
submittal to FDEP. Each final report will be signed and sealed by a Florida registered professional
engineer or geologist.
SCHEDULE
The semi-annual groundwater monitoring events will be tentatively conducted in June and
December 2019 as described herein. Reports will be submitted to FDEP to meet required
deadlines.
