SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
11 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Officials of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) together with representatives of the Region I EPA
Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites have selected the Rose Site for
further evaluation in preparation for future studies andor actions
Ecology and Environments (E amp E) Region 1 Field Investigation Team
(FIT) has recently completed a preliminary assessment of the site
which organized and evaluated existing site information most of which
is contained in DEQE files Further E amp E developed a Scope of Work
for a field investigation which included both a ground penetrating
E k E was subsequently tasked via Technical Direction Document No
Fl-8107-02 to perform a site inspection The purpose of this
inspection is to supplement the information gained from the
preliminary assessment and to refine the scope of work for field
in terms of its environmental pollution and hazard potential
II OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the site inspection are outlined in the following
paragraphs A completed EPA Form T2070-3 SITE INSPECTION REPORT is
provided in Appendix A
1 E amp E attempted to confirm much of the preliminary assessment data
which was inadequately substantiated This was particularly true
for topographic data such raquo the locations of hills streams and
swampy areas Further the extent of dumping activity was
previously unsubstantiated The updated data gathered by E amp E
will be used as part of all future field work

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic

E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

Monitoring Will Iocitioas - continued
The installation of near-downgradient wells is intended to
better define the direction of groundwater flow -ind to determine the
quality of groundwater which has passed through allegedly
contaminated areas
During the site inspection E amp E and EPA representatives
established and narked with stakes the locations of six wells as -i a
shown in Figure 2-1 the upgradient well will be located
approximately 200 feet to the north of the dumping area in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park
The location is on a narrow ridge which runs north-south through the
hazardous waste sit
After a thorough inspection of the local topography a decision
was reached between E amp E and EPA hydrogeologists to establish four
downgradient wells instead of the three preliminarily proposed As
planned a well location was chosen to the west of the site
topographically downhill within a wooded area on the Roses
property This location was less than 100 feet from the demolition
waste and candrum disposal area Another well location was chosen
to the southwest of the site as planned within 200 feet of the
site on a line between the unnamed pond on Mr Roses property and
the south of the dumping i i a line between Mr Roses home and
the site
During the site investigation it was discovered that the ground
surface slopes away from the site to the east steeply enough to
warrant a more detailed study of its effect on the local movement of
groundwater Therefore a decision was made to establish a
monitoring well location downgradient to the east of the site in the
wooded area within the boundaries of the Balance Rock State Park

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit
- barcode 553105
- barcodetext SDMS Doc ID 553105
SECTION 3 - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site inspection of 16 September 1981 E amp E can draw the
following conclusions
1 The area of potential hazardous waste disposal must be extended more
northerly than was established during E amp Es preliminary assessment of
the sit
2 The ground surface to the east of the site within Balance Rock State
Park slopes away from the site steeply enough to warrant a more
detailed study of its effect on the local movement of groundwater
Therefore a monitoring well (No 6) must be located downgradient to
the east of the dumping area
3 Only one monitoring well (No 5) should be installed within the
boundaries of the hazardous waste site pending the results of the
ground penetrating radar survey Extra drilling footage available
after completion of the installation of six wells should be used for
additional borings Or another well installation (No 7) within the
dumping area
4 The location of the upgradient monitoring well (No 1) must be
carefully chosen due to the existence of a ridge running north-south
through the ait
5 The locations of the three monitoring wells (Nos 2 3 and 4) to the
south southwest and west of the site are adequate for the proposed
hydrogeologic study
6 Based on an air characterisation survey which was conducted with an HNu
Portable Photoionication Detector E amp E does not anticipate the need
for respiratory protection for on-site workers during the ground
penetrating radar survey

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Rose S i t e Work will be conducted in a manner similar to that described in Section 31 except that soil samples need not be taken for laboratory analysis The boring contractor wi l l be required to obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
not exceeding ive feet E amp Es OVA will be used to characterize any vo la t i l e organic contamination plume over depth Permanent PVC bull monitoring wells wil l be ultimately installed II
Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

Although the exact locations of the five o f f - s i t e wells will bt selected in the f ie ld E amp E estimated that one well wi l l be installed hydrologically upgradient from the Rose Site near the State Forest and the remaining four will be installed hydrologically downgradient to the east south southwest and west of the s i t e (See Figure 3-1)
3 3 WELL DEVELOPMENTSAMPLING
Upon completion of each monitoring well the subcontractor will pump or flush the well to remove fines that may have become suspended in the water during construction
Following well development E amp E will draw water samples for analysis Samples wil l not only be drawn from newly constructed wells but from other subsurface and surface locations Section 34 of this report outl ines the sampling and analysis procedure
34 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN sect E amp E anticipates that two types of samples wi l l be generated during the f i e ld investigation at the Rose Site
1 Soi l samples collected during drilling with a 24-inch long 2-inch outside diamater (OD) split spoon sampler
2 Water samples collected from newly installed monitoring wells tap water samples from private drinking water wells and surface water location

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock

previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional

The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

31 ON-SITE WELLS
i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

i In order to better define the extent of on-site contamination E amp E
plans to subcontract a minimum of one soil boring within the dump
area The location(s) will be selected after reviewing the results
of the ground penetrating radar survey Soil samples will be taken
at each location with a split spoon sampler The boring contractor
will obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrockrefusal is reached
A ten-foot rock core will then be secured by standard methods
All soil samples will be appropriately preserved and selected
samples will be sent to the EPA Regional Laboratory or a contract
laboratory for analysis (See Section 34 for the sampling and
analysis plan) E amp Es portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will
be used in the field to detect volatile organic contaminants in soil
samples
A PVC monitoring well will be installed in at least one bore
hole which will serve a a permanent groundwater sampling point
All wells will be fully screened from bedrock to a point four feet
below the ground surface will be properly backfilled and secured
from vandalism Established safety and decontamination procedures
will be followed
The drilling subcontract is for a fixed number of drilling feet
If extra footage is available after the installation of the six
wells proposed here that footage will be used for additional
borings andor the installation of another monitoring well on-site

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit

34 Sampling and Analysis Plan - continued
The following paragraphs outline a plan for obtaining handling
and analyzing both types of samples
341 Soil Samples
At each drilling location the drilling subcontractor will
obtain representative samples of soil within two feet of ground
surface at the beginning of every change of stratum and at
intervals not exceeding five feet until bedrock is reached
Samples thus obtained by the use of a split spoon sampler will
be representative of the material encountered during drilling
E 4 Es standard procedure for field analysis of volatile
organic contaminants will be followed for each soil sample A
small amount of each split spoon sample will be transferred to
a 40 ml VOA vial and the volatile organic contaminants in the
soil will be allowed to equilibrate with the air in the vial
A portion of the air will then be withdrawn by syringe and
injected into a Century Systems Model 128 portable organic
vapor analyser (OVA) The resulting chromatogram will provide
E 6 E with a volatile organic contaminant profile over depth
For all on-site borings three to four ounces of soil from
each split-spoon sample will be transferred to each of two
(duplicate) clean four ounce glass jars with teflon caps All
samples will be placed in a cooler with ice and strict chain of
custody procedures will be followed
One set of soil samples will be shipped to either a local
contract laboratory or to the EPA Regional Laboratory in
Lexington Massachusetts depending upon the work load of the
latter A contract laboratory can be enlisted through funds
available from the EPA Office of Uncontrolled Waste Sites The
samples will be analyzed for PCBs in the following general

SECTION 5 - PHASE II BORINGSWELL INSTALLATIONS
Bated on the confirmation that a groundwater plume is moving away from
the Rose Site southward toward the swamp E amp E forsees the need for
approximately three monitoring wells installed south of Balance Rock
Road The location of these wells will depend on the results of all
previous hydrogeological investigations in particular the seismic work
The borings and well installation will be subcontracted and
constructed in a manner similar to that described in Section 32 Upon
completion of each installation the subcontractor will develop the well
l i E will then draw samples from monitoring wells and other locations
for analysis which should provide the necessary data to define the extent
of the contamination problem
Investigation of the Rose Site should be adequate for the development of
a remedial plan designed to isolate andor remove the source of
contamination and intercept contaminant movement away from the sit
