Subject : Site Assessment Proposal
North County R . O . Plant, Facility # 9600729
Vero Beach , FL 32962
Dear Mr. Southard ,
Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this fee proposal to Indian River County
( IRC) for professional services required to respond to Florida Department of Environmental
Protection ' s (FDEP ' s) correspondence dated 28 October 2008 . The FDEP correspondence was
generated based upon a review of Geosyntec ' s 7 August 2008 letter report, Groundwater
Assessment and Monitoring - June 2008, North RO Plant, Facility 99600729 . Based upon
FDEP ' s review of the letter report, and the findings/recommendations contained within , the
following additional tasks have been requested :
Installation of a background monitoring well as proposed in Geosyntec ' s 7 August 2008
letter and as approved in FDEP ' s correspondence dated 28 October 2008 .
• Collection of additional depth to groundwater data to assess the groundwater now
direction .
• Performance of assessment and delineation activities for sodium and pH , in accordance
with the requirements of Chapter 62 - 780 , FAC .
• Collection of ground water samples from all monitoring well locations with analyses of
the collected groundwater samples for total dissolved solids, chloride , sodium and sulfate ,
in addition to the field parameters of pH , temperature, specific conductance , turbidity and
dissolved oxygen . If any additional parameters (other than pH and sodium) are detected
above the Maximum Contamination Levels (MCLS) from this sampling event, those
parameters must be included in the site assessment report ( SAR) .
• Preparation of a SAR, which meets the minimum requirements of Chapter 62 - 780 , FAC .
The SAR must include the delineation of the vertical and horizontal extent of
groundwater impacts and recommendations in context of further clean up requirements as
deemed appropriate .

The SAR document will also provide, as requested by the FDEP, a location map and a figure
which identifies facility buildings . Note : As requested by Geosyntec, IRC has recently provided
an as-built plan in CAD format, which we have assumed in this proposal will be adequate for the
purposes required by Geosyntec .
The proposed scope of work summarized below is intended to respond to FDEP comments in a
cost effective manner .
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 — Water Supply Well Survey
Following FDEP guidance , Geosyntec will perform a "water supply well survey" in an attempt
to identify and obtain information on area water supply wells . This survey will focus on locating
public water supply wells located within 0 . 5 miles of the facility boundary and private water
supply wells located within 0 . 25 miles of the facility boundary and has the goal of ascertaining
whether or not the site is located within proximity to supply wells in the area which could be
affected by the contamination and/or could affect area groundwater flow . This effort is required
under FDEP ' s SAR regulations ( 62 - 780 . 600 FAC) . The following subtasks will be performed :
• contracting with a database service to request information on permitted supply wells
located in the area;
• contacting St . Johns River Water Management District, the local health department,
Indian River County utilities (assumed that IRC will assist Geosyntec with retrieving
this information) , Indian River County Environmental Planning Section , and the City of
Vero Beach utilities to request information on permitted supply wells located in the
area; and
• performing a "windshield survey" from public roads to look for evidence of supply
wells (to be completed during field event( s) described below in this proposal ) within
0 . 25 miles of the facility boundary .
Additionally , we will attempt to identify adjacent surface water bodies which could be
potentially affected by or influence onsite contamination .

Task 2 — Site Assessment Field Drilling/Sampling Activities
1st Mobilization
• Mobilize to the site and provide oversight of the installation up to five , '/4- inch temporary
monitoring wells to a depth of 8 to 10 ft below land surface (BLS - depth to groundwater
estimated at approximately 5 ft BLS) north , south, and/or west of the area with pH and
sodium impacted groundwater using hand auger equipment to supplement the previously
installed wells in an effort to provide lateral delineation of the previously identified area
of sodium impacted groundwater . Note : For clarification the goal of the proposed field
activities is for the delineation of sodium impacted groundwater and not for the
delineation of pH impacts .
• Provide oversight of the installation of the FDEP-approved background monitoring well
(as proposed in Geosyntec ' s in 7 August 2008 letter report) by a licensed water well
subcontractor . The monitoring well will have a '/4 - or 1 - inch diameter PVC casing and
pre-packed screen and will be finished within a protective flush-mounted manhole cover .
Note that macro-core soil sampling will be conducted prior to installation of the well and
soil samples will be visually characterized by the Geosyntec field representative
(enabling the preparation of a lithologic cross section , which is a Chapter 62 -780 , FAC ,
SAR requirement) .
• Collect a complete set of groundwater level measurements and collect groundwater
samples from existing monitoring wells MWO1 and MW02 , the five proposed temporary
monitoring wells, and up to 11 existing piezometers for the FDEP-required analytical
suite (dissolved solids , chloride, sodium and sulfate) . As required by the FDEP, all
groundwater samples proposed herein will be laboratory analyzed for dissolved solids by
EPA Method 160 . 3 , chloride and sulfate by EPA Method 300, sodium by EPA Method
6010 , sulfate, and field screened for pH, temperature, specific conductance, turbidity and
dissolved oxygen .
2 "d Mobilization
After reviewing the information obtained from the I " mobilization described above , Geosyntec
will conduct the following on -site activities during a 2nd mobilization to the site .
• Provide oversight of the installation of three permanent shallow- screened monitoring
wells (approximate depth of 13 -ft BLS) , in an effort to provide horizontal delineation of
sodium (and dissolved solids, chloride, and/or sulfate , if detected) impacted groundwater
to the north , south, and west of the sodium- impacted area currently identified above the
associated screening limit . Macro-core soil sampling will be conducted prior to
installation of the wells and soil samples will be visually characterized by the Geosyntec
field representative . Note that well installation(s) may be located within approximately
FR 1329/XR08264 .DOC

30 ft outside (west) of the western fence line, which according to IRC personnel and a
CAD file provided by IRC ' s contractor remains within the IRC property limits (estimated
to be approximately 50 ft from the western fence line) . Note that Geosyntec has assumed
that no monitoring well installations will be required inside facility buildings . If this is
the case , then additional budget under a separate cover may be required .
• CONTINGENCY — if warranted by the sampling data from MW02 , Geosyntec will
provide oversight of the installation of one permanent deep- screened monitoring well
(approximate depth of 40 -ft BLS ) , in an effort to provide vertical delineation of sodium
impacted groundwater in the vicinity of the area of highest currently observed sodium
impacts using direct push technology (DPT) drilling techniques . Prior to well
installation , Geosyntec will collect a groundwater sample from the interval from 35 - ft to
40 - ft BLS via DPT and field screen to verify that salinity/conductivity levels are below
levels previously observed by Geosyntec . If the salinity/conductivity at a depth of 35 to
40 ft BLS exhibit elevated salinity/conductivity levels, the monitoring well will be
installed to a maximum depth of 50 ft BLS .
3rd Mobilization
• The FDEP requires that permanent monitoring wells be sampled after a minimum of 24 -
hours after the installation has been completed . Therefore , groundwater samples will be
collected from the four (plus one contingency deep -well , if needed) above-proposed
permanent monitoring wells during the 3 d mobilization to the site to be scheduled at least
24 - hours after installation completion .
• Collect a complete set of groundwater level measurements and perform groundwater
sampling activities in accordance with FDEP Standard Operating Procedures .
• To help address FDEP requirements, Geosyntec will complete the following in an effort
to better understand the potential for migration of contaminants detected by Geosyntec to
exist onsite during the site subsurface assessment . A calculation of the hydraulic
conductivity in the surficial portion of the onsite aquifer will be estimated through slug
testing in two of the installed shallow monitoring wells and in one deep monitoring well .
• Provide oversight to a professional surveyor during the collection horizontal and vertical
control data for all existing and proposed site monitoring wells and piezometers (twenty -
two locations expected) . Note that the use of a licensed surveyor is based on
requirements for site assessments conducted in accordance with Chapter 62 - 780 FAC .

Task 3 — Site Assessment Report Preparation
The FDEP requires two copies of the SAR be submitted to the FDEP . Please note the
assessment efforts described above may or may not be sufficient to collect the data needed to
satisfy SAR requirements ( in particular, we do not at this time know if the above efforts will be
sufficient to delineate the extent of contamination) . If we find during completion of the above
tasks that additional site assessment work is necessary , we will discuss our recommendations
with you and seek approval prior to proceeding If additional tasks are required beyond the
scope of this proposal additional budget will be required .
The SAR will describe the tasks that were completed pursuant to Chapter 62 - 780 FAC and will
summarize the obtained results . The SAR will include recommendations for additional
monitoring and/or remediation .
In an effort to address FDEP guidance, the following will be included in the SAR :
• a brief summary of the site history and operations ;
• a copy of the portion of the USGS topographic map that identifies the site in relation to
the surrounding area ;
• a vicinity map showing pertinent site features, such as utilities, aboveground and
underground structures, storage areas, local drainage features, land cover , facility
boundaries, and potential sources of contamination identified during the assessment ;
• tables listing the monitoring well top-of-casing elevations, depths to groundwater and
water- level elevations (obtained at least twice , at least one month apart and the dates the
data were collected) ;
• tables summarizing the groundwater analytical results, reporting limits used , and
analyses performed ( listing contaminants detected and the corresponding cleanup target
levels proposed for use for the site) ;
• a description of the site-specific stratigraphy, based on the lithologic logs prepared
during soil boring and monitoring well installation ;
• details of assessment methodologies used at the site, including field screening techniques
and other testing ;
• monitoring well construction details and construction diagrams , including methods and
materials , field sampling data sheets, lithologic logs , and volumes of groundwater
removed during well development and/or purging ;

• one general cross- section illustrating the site- specific stratigraphy ;
• a map showing the approximate location(s) of identified water supply well(s) in relation
to the facility as identified during the well survey ;
• scaled site maps illustrating the water- level elevations calculated at each monitoring
point , and an interpretation of groundwater flow direction ; and
• one or more scaled site maps showing sampling locations, and an illustration of the
degree and extent of groundwater contamination .
A draft of this report in PDF form will be prepared for your review prior to submission to the
FDEP . Two signed and sealed copies of the final SAR will be produced for the FDEP and IRC .
Additionally, an electronic copy (PDF) of the final SAR will be provided to IRC on a CD .
ASSUMPTIONS
In addition to the above , the following assumptions were made in developing this scope and cost
estimate :
• Geosyntec assumes that IRC site personnel will provide support in regards to the
identification of potential underground utilities and clearing proposed well locations (the
area the FDEP has requested additional wells may be in close vicinity to site structures) .
Please note that this budget assumes that all drilling locations will be cleared by IRC
personnel prior to Geosyntec ' s arrival .
• IRC will provide a CAD map(s) which provide property boundaries , show the location
and identification of site structures and the locations of underground utilities .
• Site access will not be restricted to Geosyntec and can be obtained by Geosyntec
immediately upon receipt of your Notice to Proceed .
• Geosyntec will be able to work unimpeded between Monday and Friday from 7 am - 7
pm .
• No clearing of vegetation will be necessary and track-mounted drill rig access is available
to each location designated for investigation .
• The groundwater table will be encountered at approximately 3 - 5 ft below land surface
and is accessible with a drill rig .
• Water and electricity are available for Geosyntec ' s use .
