Groundwater Sampling • Joint Effort with MEW Companies and NASA • Sampling Conducted in November / December Timeframe • Results are Compiled and Evaluated in Annual Groundwater Reports
– 2007 Annual Groundwater Report Available in June 2008• Upper and Lower A-Aquifer Wells and B-Aquifer Wells_______________________600+ Wells Sampled North of
Highway 101
Navy Samples Approximately 125 of the Wells
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Dissolved Metals & Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) - Every 5

Site 28 Site 28 –– WATS OverviewWATS Overview
WATS is a Groundwater Pump and Treat System
• Began Operating in 1998 • Complies with Requirements in the MEW Study Area Record of Decision
(ROD)– MEW ROD Finalized in 1989– Navy Adopted MEW ROD in 1993
• Six Upper A-aquifer and Three Lower A-aquifer Extraction Wells• Treats Groundwater Using Advanced Oxidation Process and Granular
Activated Carbon• Treated Water is Discharged to the Eastern Diked Marsh and Stormwater
Retention Pond (Northern Moffett Boundary)– Discharged per the Requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit– All Discharge Water has been Compliant with NPDES Requirements

2007 Operation Data
• WATS Operational 98.9% of Time• Treated 34,532,488 Gallons of Extracted Groundwater• Removed 378 Pounds VOCs• Annual O&M cost is approx $760,644 or $2,012/pound
Lifetime Operation Data
• Treated 304,302,868 Gallons of Extracted Groundwater
• Removed 3,997 Pounds VOCs

Site 28 Site 28 –– Coordination with Coordination with MEW CompaniesMEW Companies
Currently Partnering with MEW Companies to Prepare Site-wide Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) and Technical Impracticability (TI) Evaluation
• Evaluates Effectiveness of the Current Remedy• Evaluates and Compares Alternatives for Site-Wide Groundwater Cleanup
Submitted Volume I (Sections 1 through 5) to EPA on April 14, 2008

Site 26 Site 26 –– EATS Overview & EATS Overview & Operation DataOperation Data
East-Side Aquifer Treatment System - EATS• Operated from January 1999 Through July 2003• Five Upper A-Aquifer Extraction Wells • Treats Groundwater Using an Air Stripper and Granular Activated Carbon
EATS Lifetime Operation Data• Removed 67 Million Gallons of Groundwater• Approximately 23.6 Pounds VOCs
EATS Taken Off-Line in 2003 to Evaluate:• Plume Stability• Chemical of Concern Rebound• Natural Attenuation• Application of Hydrogen Release Compound® (HRC)
