1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

During the remainder of 1996 and the first six months of 1997, the Iowa Anny AmmunitionPlant (IAAP) will be conducting removal actions at the Line 1 Impoundment, Line 800Pinkwater Lagoon, and the Inert Landfill per the requirements of the ComprehensiveEnvironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). While perfonning theactivities at the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon in the summer of 1996, water containing explosivesand possible metal contamination will be treated and discharged to Brush Creek.

It is the facilities intent to substantively comply with the requirements of the National PollutantDischarge Elimination System (NPDES) Pennit No. 29-00-9-00 issued for the IAAP Site by theState ofIowa on August 3, 1995. Even though the facility's NPDES Pennit is an Applicable orRelevant and Appropriate Requirement (ARAR) for these interim CERCLA removal actions, nonew pennit will be required per Section 121(e)(I) ofCERCLA. Section 121 (e)(l) states:

"No Federal, State, or local pennit shall be required for the portion of any removal orremedial action conducted entirely onsite, where such remedial action is selected andcarried out in compliance with this section."

Per the teleconference between the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers (USACE), the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA), the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), the IAAP, andEnvironmental Chemical Corporation (ECC) on April 9, 1996; and subsequent discussionsbetween the IAAP, USACE, and ECC; it was detennined:

• Treated waters from the Pinkwater Lagoon will be discharged to Brush Creekdownstream of the existing Outfall 82 from Building 800-70-1.

• With regard to the NPDES pennit, Outfall 82 will consist of the discharges from theCERCLA water treatment outfall at the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon and there will be nodischarge of treated explosives wastewater from Building 800-70-1 at Line 800.

• The treated water from the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon will be discharged per theNPDES Pennit discharge standards, the Drinking Water Regulations and HealthAdvisories (May 1995) tables, and the EPA Region III Risk-Based Concentration Table(July - December 1995). The discharge from Outfall 082 will be sampled at the sametime and frequency as the analytes described in the NPDES Pennit (Table 1).

• The NPDES pennit allows a maximum discharge of 93,000 gpd. The flow rate from theLine 800 Pinkwater Lagoon water treatment operations will be approximately 100 gpm,24 hrs per day (144,000 gpd) for the first week of operations or until effluent analyticalresults from the granulated activated carbon (GAC) treatment system are available anddemonstrate the discharge treatment standards are being achieved. During this period ofevaluation, water will be discharged back into the lagoon. After this period, water will be

J·\s400INPDESISAMPLEPLINPDESPL4.WPD

treated, if discharge results allow, by parallel GAC treatment, with a discharge maximumof up to 200 gpm, 24 hours per day (288,000 gpd) until the lagoon is dewatered. It isestimated that a total of 4.5 million gallons will be treated. However, under nocircumstances will the discharges exceed the permit effluent limitations 31.00 lbs/day fortotal suspended solids (TSS).

• The dewatering is estimated to take approximately 20 to 30 days, depending on weatherand site conditions.

• The reporting requirements for Outfall 82 as specified in the NPDES permit will notchange.

• Following the completion of the CERCLA water treatment operations at the Line 800Pinkwater Lagoon, Outfall 82 will consist of only the one outfall at Building 800-70-1.

1.1 Evaluation of Treatment System

Startup sampling will be conducted during commencement of operation and discharge ofcontaminated water treated by the GAC unit installed at the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon.Initially, the system will be operated and recirculated to the lagoon. During system startup andrecirculation of the discharge water to the lagoon, one 24-hour composite sample will becollected and analyzed for TSS and pH in accordance with the NPDES permit requirements. Inaddition, five grab samples each taken 4 hours apart will be taken and analyzed for explosivecompounds (EPA Method 8330) and 19 target analyte list (TAL) metals as listed in Table 1. Aturn-around time of 48 to 72 hours will be requested from the time the laboratory receives thesamples. During this time, the system will be shut down pending the analytical results.

Once analytical data are received, results will be forwarded to the USACE and EPA for theirreview and approval. If the analytical results indicate that the system is operating properly andthe constituents in the effluent are within action levels defined in Table 2, the system operationwill resume and discharge to Brush Creek will be permitted.

During the first five days of discharge to Brush Creek, a grab sample will be obtained from thesystem effluent at a frequency of once per day and analyzed for explosives and metals. Also,during the initial five days of discharge to Brush Creek, one 24-hour composite sample will beobtained and analyzed for NPDES permit requirements (TSS & pH).

Data from the first five days of discharge to Brush Creek will also be forwarded to USACE andEPA for their review and approval. Provided that the data indicate that chemical constituents areless than action levels, operation of the system and discharge to Brush Creek will be allowed tocontinue. At this time, sampling will continue at the frequency discussed in the Table 1 (onegrab sample for explosives and metals, and one 24-hour composite sample for TSS and pH perweek of operation). If constituent levels exceed the action levels presented in Table 2, the

J:1S400INPDES\SAMPLEPLINPDESPL4 WPD 2

system will be shut down, a review of system operations will be performed, and the frequency ofsampling and analysis will be reassessed.

Quality assurance samples will be submitted to the MRL for analysis. Split samples will becollected and analyzed at a frequency ofone per every 20 effluent samples obtained. In addition,one split sample will be taken during the initial 24-hour recirculation period and sent to the MRLfor analysis.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS

All personnel performing these procedures are required to have the minimwn health and safetytraining as specified in the Final Site Safety and Health Plan, Section 4.1.1 Regular SitePersonnel Exposed to Hazardous Substances which requires:

• 40 hour Hazardous Waste Site Operations training (OSHA - 29 CFR 1910.120), and• 3 days of field experience supervised by a trained supervisor.

In addition, all personnel are required to have a complete understanding of the proceduresdescribed within this Plan and specific training regarding these procedures, if necessary.

Only qualified personnel will be allowed to perform the procedures. Required qualificationsvary depending on the activity to be performed. In general, qualifications are based oneducation, previous experience, on-the-job training, and supervision by qualified personnel. TheProject Manager will determine who is qualified to perform these duties based on therequirements listed above.

3.0 METHODS

3.1 Sample Collection and Preservation

All samples will be collected according to the standard operation procedures (SOP's) presentedin Appendix A, Proceduresfor Sampling the Discharges ofTreated Water from the Line 800Pinkwater Lagoon. This Plan addresses requirements for the combined Iowa NPDES Permit No.29-00-9-00 and CERCLA effluent sampling for treated water from the Line 800 PinkwaterLagoon. Table 1 lists the analytical methods, container types and sizes, methods of preservation,holding times, method detection limits, sampling frequencies, and sample types that apply.

3.2 Sample Containers

Sample containers used for sampling will be in accordance with specifications in 40 CFR Part136 and SW-846. Precleaned sample containers will be supplied by the ECC laboratory.

J:~400INPDES\SAMPLEPLINPDESPL4.WPD 3

3.3 Grab and Composite Sampling

Both grab and composite samples will be collected while sampling the treated discharges fromthe Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon. A grab sample is an individual sample collected at a specificpoint in time. It is representative of conditions at the time the sample is collected. A grabsample should not take more than 15 minutes to collect. A composite sample is collected over anextended period of time and therefore, represent the average characteristics of the wastestreamduring the compositing period.

4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLES

Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) will be conducted in accordance with thequality requirements presented in the IAAP Sampling and Analysis Plan, Part II - QualityAssurance Project Plan (QAPP).

The most common monitoring errors are typically the result of improper sampling, improperpreservation, inadequate mixing during compositing, and expired sample holding times. Errorsof these types will be minimized by implementing the QAPP which addresses all of these issuesand through proper oversight during sample collecting, preservation, and handling activities.

QC samples will be sent to ECC's laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio and will include:

• Duplicates, and• Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate samples.

ECC's laboratory address is:

Environmental Chemical Corporation3235 Omni DriveCincinnati, Ohio 45245

QA samples will be sent to the USACE laboratory in Omaha, Nebraska and will include:

• Split samples.

The USACE laboratory address is:

U.S. Army Corps of EngineersMissouri River LaboratoryAttn: CEMRO-LB-D420 South 18th StreetOmaha, NE 68102-4978The POC Laura Percifield (402) 444-4314

JI5400INPDESISAMPLEPLINPDESPL4 WPD 4

At a minimwn, the nwnber of QC and QA samples collected and analyzed will equal five percent(5%) of the nwnber of analytical chemical samples collected for each matrix. ECC will collect,preserve, store, and transport the QC/QA samples in exactly the same manner as the originalsamples. The QC/QA samples also will be subjected to the same analyses as the originalsamples.

4.1 Duplicates

Duplicate samples are independent samples collected from the same source, so they are, to theextent possible, equally representative ofthe parameter(s) of interest at a given point in time.

4.2 Split Samples

Split samples involve collecting a single sample and dividing the sample into two or morecontainers for analysis by separate laboratories. Split samples are beneficial in identifyingproblems and discrepancies within the analytical laboratories.

4.3 Matrix SpikelMatrix Spike Duplicate

The matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate sample will require 2 liters of sample. One liter willbe used for a normal sample analysis and while the second liter will provide the additionalsample volume required to perform the laboratory matrix spike and matrix spike duplicateanalyses.

4.4 Field Instrument Calibration

Equipment will be calibrated prior to and following the sampling event each day. It also will berecalibrated at anytime there after if field personnel suspect that the calibration may have beenaltered. The reasons for such alteration may include changing batteries, equipment beingdropped or handled roughly, or significant changes in temperature since the last calibration.Calibration of field equipment will be performed according to the manufacturers' instructionspresented in each instrument's operating manual.

The calibration procedures and instrumentation will be consistent with the sample analysisrequirements of this project and applicable EPA approved methods.

5.0 DOCUMENTATION

5.1 Field Logbooks

Proper chain of custody and documentation will be maintained at all times per the IAAP QualityAssurance Project Plan (QAPP). A permanent record of the implementation of this SAP will bekept by documenting field observations and data. Observations and data will be recorded in

r4-

J:\S400INPDESISAMPLEPlINPDESPl4.WPD 5

bound field notebooks with consecutively numbered pages. Field logbooks will be utilized tosummarize the daily field activities and to document project information. When not in use, fieldlogbooks will be stored in a locked cabinet in the on-site field trailer.

Permanent ink will be used for all entries in the logbooks and on the field forms. Mistakes willbe crossed out with a single line, initialed, and dated. Unused pages or partial pages will bevoided by drawing a line through the blank sections and initialing. Any deviation from this SAPrequires written approval from the USACE and must be documented in the logbook.

The field logbook will represent a chronological record of the day's activities, including the timeand location of each activity. Descriptions of problems encountered, personnel contacted,deviations from the SAP, and visitors on site will be included. The weather conditions, date, andsignature of the person responsible for entries will also be included.

5.2 Sample Identification and Labeling

Sample identification and data handling will be conducted according to the IAAP QAPP.Sample labels and chain of custody records will be provided to sampling personnel by the ProjectManager. Labels will be attached to each container in which a sample is placed. If the samplelabels is lost, voided, or damaged, the sample information will be noted in the appropriate fieldlogbook and another label will be placed on the container.

Each sample will be identified by a separate sample label and associated sample number. Theinformation on the label will include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Date: a six-digit number indicating the day, month, and year of collection• Outfall number and location• Time: a four-digit number indicating the 24-hour clock time of collection• Sample number• Sampler's signature• Preservative: the label will indicate if a preservative was used and the type of

preservative• Analysis: the type of analysis requested• Remarks

An example of the sample label is shown in Figure 1.

5.3 Custody Seals

Custody seals are used to preserve the integrity of the samples from the time of collection untilopening in the laboratory. The seals include the following information:

• Sampler's initials

J15400INPOESISAMPLEPLINPOESPL4.WPO 6

• Date and time of seal

The seal is attached in such a way that it will break when the sample container is opened. Inaddition, two seals will be placed on each shipping container, one at the front and one at the backof the container. An example of the custody seal is shown in Figure 2.

5.4 Chain of Custody

To establish the documentation necessary to trace sample possession from the time of samplecollection through sample analysis, a chain-of-custody record will be completed and willaccompany the samples listed on the chain-of-custody form. This record will be used todocument sample custody transfer from the sampler, to the courier, and to the laboratory. Whentransferring samples, both the individual relinquishing and the individual receiving the sampleswill sign and date the chain-of-custody record. To maintain and document sample possession,specific procedures are to be followed. A sample is considered to be in an individual's custody ifthe sample is:

• in the physical possession or view of the responsible party,

• secured to prevent tampering, or

• locked in a secured area by the responsible party.

A stringent program of chain-of-custody procedures will assure that each sample is accounted forfrom the time of collection to its analysis by appropriate laboratories. An example of the chain­of-custody record is shown in Figure 3.

Procedures for Sampling Discharges of Treated Water from the Line 800Pinkwater Lagoon

NPDES SAMPLING PROCEDURESFOR

SAMPLING THE DISCHARGES OF TREATED WATER FROMLINE 800 PINKWATER LAGOON

1.0 OBJECTIVE

The primary objectives of this Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are:

• To collect representative effluent samples in order to determine if contaminants arepresent and identify concentration levels.

• To provide accepted, safe, and standardized guidelines for collection of representativeeffluent samples.

• To ensure that the samples taken at the nozzle on the discharge pipe from the PinkwaterLagoon treatment unit is representative of that location and is neither altered orcontaminated by the sampling and/or handling processes.

2.0 BACKGROUND

During the remainder of 1996 and the first six months of 1997, the Iowa Army AmmunitionPlant (IAAP) will be conducting removal actions at the Line 1 Impoundment, Line 800Pinkwater Lagoon, and the Inert Landfill per the requirements of the ComprehensiveEnvironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). While performing theactivities at the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon in the summer of 1996, water containing explosivesand possible metal contamination will be treated and discharged to Brush Creek.

3.0 PERSONNEL REQUIRED AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Site Supervisor: The Site Supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all the methods andmaterials outlined in the Sampling and Analysis Planfor Treated Discharges ofthe WaterContained in the Line 800 Pinkwater Lagoon and the Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) areobserved and followed during sample collection and handling. The Site Supervisor will performoversight on all field operations.

QA/QC Officer: The QA/QC Officer is responsible for ensuring that samples are properlycollected and identified, that personnel are properly trained, and that safety standards aremaintained.

Field Personnel: Field Personnel are responsible for the collection of samples and packaging andlabeling the samples for shipment under the direction of the Site Supervisor and/or the QA/QCOfficer in accordance with this procedure.

4.0 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

• acidified sample bottles• coolers• sampling gloves• packaging wrap• large zip lock bags• Chain of Custody fonns• sample labels• custody seals• pH meter• flow meter• automatic composite sampler• appropriate precleaned sample jars/containers• indelible ink pen• blue ice• thennometer• specific conductivity meter• decontamination supplies• first aid kit and appropriate PPE

5.0 LABELING AND SHIPPING SAMPLES

Use pennanent ink for all entries on the field fonns.

5.1 Sample Label

Each bottle that contains a sample must be labeled. Sample labels must include:

• Date: a six-digit number indicating the day, month, and year of collection• Outfall number and location• Time: a four-digit number indicating the 24-hour clock time of collection• Sample number• Sampler's signature• Preservative: the label will indicate if a preservative was used and the type of

preservative• Analysis: the type of analysis requested

An example of the sample label is presented in Figure 1.

Custody Seal

Use Custody Seals to preserve the integrity of the samples from the time of collection untilopening in the laboratory. The seals include the following infonnation:

• Sampler's initials• Date and time of seal

The seal is attached in such a way that it will break when the sample container is opened. Anexample of the custody seal is shown in Figure 2.

5.3 Chain of Custody

To establish the documentation necessary to trace sample possession from the time of samplecollection through sample analysis, a chain-of-custody record will be completed and includedwith the samples listed on the chain-of-custody form. The chain-of-custody will be used todocument sample custody transfer from the sampler, to the courier, and to the laboratory. Whentransferring samples, both the individual relinquishing and the individual receiving the sampleswill sign and date the chain-of-custody record. The samples and their shipping container mustalways be in the possession of the individual that signed for the samples on the chain-of-custodyform. An example of a chain-of-custody form is included as Figure 3.

6.0 RECORDING FIELD INFORMATION

Use permanent ink for all entries in the logbooks and on the field forms. Cross out mistakes witha single line, initialed, and dated. Void unused pages or partial pages by drawing a line throughthe blank sections and initialing.

Record field observations in a bound field logbook. Record field activities chronologically. Atthe end of each day, return the field logbook to the locked cabinet in the on-site field trailer.

Include the following information in the field logbook:

• the time and location of each activity• problems encountered• personnel contacted• deviations from this SOP• visitors present during the sampling event• the weather conditions• signature of the person responsible for entries• the number of field activity daily log sheets• record flow rate(s) at the time of sampling

7.0 PROCEDURES

Use precleaned containers to collect samples. The containers are provided by EnvironmentalChemical Corporation's (ECC) laboratory. Order the containers (pre-acidified for metals) fromthe lab several days in advance of the sampling event.

Calibrate equipment prior to and following the sampling event each day. Recalibrated equipment

at anytime thereafter if it is suspected that the calibration may have been altered.

Collect grab samples at the sampling nozzle of the discharge pipe from the Pinkwater Lagoontreatment unit as specified in Tables S-1 and S-2 of Appendix B. A grab sample should not takemore than 15 minutes to collect.

Collect one 24-hour composite sample as specified in Tables S-1 and S-2 of Appendix B.Collect the samples at the sampling nozzle on the discharge side of the Line 800 PinkwaterLagoon treatment unit using a continuous composite sampling method. Use an automaticsampler to collect the composite sample for a 24 hour period following the manufacturer'soperating instructions.

7.1 Sampling Steps

Follow the steps below for sample collection:

1. Ensure that all sampling equipment is properly decontaminated.

2. Label sample containers and place them in a clean area near the sample location. Labelall samples as described in Section 5.0, Labeling and Shipping Samples.

3. Collect all samples listed in Appendix B, Sampling Guide and Checklists.

4. After each sample is collected clean the outside of the sample container.

5. Attach the Custody Seal to the sample container in such a way that it will break when thesample container is opened.

6. Put the sample container in its own sealed plastic bag.

7. Place properly packaged sample containers on ice in a cooler to maintain sampletemperatures of approximately 4 0 C.

8. Fill out, sign, and date Chain of Custody.

9. Place chain-of-custody form in a zip-lock plastic bag and tape the plastic bag inside thecooler lid.

10. Securely tape the cooler shut, using duct tape.

11. Attach the Custody Seal to the cooler in such a way that it will break when the cooler isopened.

12. Dispose ofPPE and disposable equipment to prevent cross-contamination (ref. to Section6.1.2, Site Safety and Health Plan).

13. Decontaminate reusable sampling equipment (ref. to Section 6.2, Site Safety and HealthPlan).

14. Fill out Federal Express label for overnight delivery to ECC's Cincinnati Laboratory andthe USACE Missouri River Laboratory QA laboratory.
