Phase 1B BMA – Pre-Design Bank Soil Sampling Page 2
Background
Phase 1B BMA – Pre-Design Bank Soil Sampling Page 3
– Phase 1B BMAs include city and private ownership
– Mixture of Primary and Secondary BMAs
– Phase 1A and 1B BMAs, account for ~ 90% of Hg bank loading from RRM 0-2
Objectives – Provide additional data to
refine loading estimates to inform Phase 1B BMA remedial designs
– Horizontal and vertical delineation within potential removal areas
– Close data gaps at Secondary BMAs
Page 4 Phase 1B BMA – Pre-Design Bank Soil Sampling
Methodology – Surficial soil transects – Top of bank cores – Close interval cores – THg analysis by EPA
Method 7471A
– Coordination with JMU for field testing of XRF technology

Phase 1B BMA – Pre-Design Bank Soil Sampling
Results – Collected 239 samples to a
maximum depth of 8.5’ BGS
– Data still pending
– Preliminary data review underway • Similar trends as Phase 1A BMAs • THg ranges from ND to >1,400 mg/kg • Maximum THg concentrations
generally found at depth

Path Forward – Finalize data review
– Update bank loading model
– Refine Phase 1B BMA boundaries (if necessary)
– Begin Phase 1B remedial design (~ Q3/Q4 2016)
