Site Geology
Overburden Sediments - Shallow Aquifer Alluvial sand, gravel, silt, and clay overlying bedrock Up to 18 feet thick across most of the site > 60 ft thick in karst area (NE) Absent in SW Overlies weathered Waynesboro Formation
Bedrock Waynesboro Formation - highly weathered mudstone, siltstone,
argillite and phylite (very stiff, silty clay, with shale, mudstone, siltstone) over limestone and sandstone
Shady Formation - dolomite, in NE portion of the site, subsurface only - inferred from karst features

Karst Area
From Gathright 1977 - Geology of Waynesboro East and Waynesboro West Quadrangles Karst area believed to be associated with the Shady Formation in
sub-surfaceNot exposed in the areaKnown to be susceptible to karst weatheringPresent to the north and south of Waynesboro
Borings drilled at western toe of Blue Ridge just northeast of Waynesboro - looking for Shady FormationNo carbonate identified up to 365 ft BGSTheorized area is mature karst - most of the Carbonate
removed/collapsed or is very deep Alternate theories on the area
Brecciated zone associated with Blue Ridge thrust faulting

Shallow aquifer Discharges to the South River to the NW and N May discharge to karst area in NE
Deep bedrock aquifer Groundwater source for plant Discharge location unknown Not a focus of the RFI
Karst area Deep water table - shallow water table may also be present May be in communication with bedrock aquifer Unlikely to discharge to South River
GW elevation at MW-10A = 1235 ft aMSL South River elevation ~ 1270 ft a MSL (at plant)
Captured by plant production wells?

MeHg Mass Flux to South River - Worst Case Volumetric groundwater flux (Q) to South River:
= 5.13 x 105 l/d (94 gpm) Based on length of river boundary along plant and mean aquifer
conductivity (K), gradient (i), and saturated thickness (t)
Mass Flux of meHg to South River: = 232 ug/d Based on highest concentration detected in shallow wells along the river
(0.45 ng/l; MW-15)
Predicted increase in concentration (above background) down-stream of plant after mixing: = 5.5 X 10-3 ng/l Assumes WORST CASE - lowest daily mean flow in South River
between 1953 and 1995 (17 ft3/s; Aug 8, 1966) and highest concentrationdetected along the river

= 5.13 x 105 l/d (94 gpm) Based on length of river boundary along plant and mean aquifer

Phase II RFI Objectives
Confirm nature and extent of soil and groundwater impacts mainly source areas
Further characterize groundwater flow and quality in the northeast corner of the site
Storm event surface-water discharge sampling
Initiate annual groundwater monitoring program
![Page 25: DuPont Site and RFI Review - Amazon S3...Storm water and wastewater analysis using clean metals protocol and low-level detection DuPont Site RFI Results RFI Objectives Further characterize](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040918/5e9304482ff36f514320f834/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions Shallow overburden aquifer
Discharges to South River along plant boundary Flows off-site to the Northeast
Karst area Deep groundwater table not likely to be in communication with South
River - perched water table may also be present Depressed groundwater level suggests capture by plant production wells Needs further evaluation - flow and GW quality
MeHg Contribution to South River via shallow groundwater appears to be
negligible Sub-ppt levels detected in GW along South River Ppt concentrations localized to source areas in plant interior
