INTRODUCTION
Concerns have recently been expressed about whether hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are complying with
the groundwater monitoring requirements promulgated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Regulations promulgated under
RCRA address TSDF operations, including groundwater monitoring, to
ensure immediate detection of any hazardous waste or constituents
released to the environment. Of specific concern is the ability of
existing or proposed groundwater monitoring systems to detect
contaminant releases from waste management units. To evaluate these
systems and determine the current compliance status, the Administrator
of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established an Hazardous
Waste Groundwater Task Force (Task Force). The Task Force comprises
personnel from the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response;
Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring; National Enforcement
Investigations Center (NEIC); Regional Offices; and State regulatory
agencies. The Task Force is conducting in-depth, on-site investigations
of TSUFs with the following key objectives:
* Determine compliance with interim status groundwater monitoring
requirement of 40 CFR 265, as promulgated under RCRA or the state equiva-
lent (where the State have received RCRA authorization).
* Determine if the groundwater at the facility contains hazardous
waste or constituents.
Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant (SAAP) is located three miles south of
DeSoto, Kansas, approximately thirty miles southwest of Kansas City,
Missouri. The on-site inspection was conducted from November 10
through 21, 1986.
In general, the evaluation comprised a review of State, Federal and
facility records and files; a site inspection and laboratory analyses and
evaluation of groundwater and surface water samples. Task Force personnel
evaluated compliance with applicable groundwater monitoring requirements as
defined in Subpart F of 40 CFR 265 and equivalent Kansas regulations
(KAR 28-31-8).
Specifically evaluated were the adequacy of the facility's groundwater
sampling and analysis plan; the site assessment plan; the monitoring well
design, construction and location. Additionally, analytical data from
the sampling event were scrutinized. Additionally, past and current
solid waste management units were also evaluated.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) received final
authorization in October 1985. Kansas' standards for hazardous waste
TSDFs incorporate those defined in 40 CFR 264, nr6, and 266 as in effect
on November 1, 1986. Because federal standard for TSDFs are adopted by
reference into Kansas'-regulations, the facility's regulated surface
impoundments have been subject to Federal interim status requirements
since promulgation.

BACKGROUND
SAAP is a federally-owned, contractor operated plant which manufactures
propelldnt on a limited basis. The plant has been in operation since
January 2, 1943. Several waste management units exist at SAAP. These
Incl ude:
1) NQ/Carbide Area
2) Coal Pile Runoff Pond
3) Ash/Sanitary Landfill
4) Nitroglycerin Area
5) Sulfuric Acid Regeneration Lagoons
6) Paste Blender Pond
Of these six, only the NQ/Carbide Area and the Coal Pile Runoff Pond are
subject to RCRA regulations.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Findings and conclusions presented herein reflect conditions that
existed at Sunflower AAP in November 1986.
GROUND WATER MONITORING UNDER INTERIM STATUS
Initially, sixty groundwater monitoring wells were installed around
six general waste management areas in 1981 to satisfy the RCRA deadline
of November 1981.
Subsequently, four areas were determined to be exempt from RCRA
requirements and removed from the facility's Part A. The remaining two
units are currently monitored pursuant to 40 CFR 265, Subpart F standards.
GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
In February 1983, Sunflower AAP notified KDHE that, based upon analytical
data, hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents may have been released
to groundwater beneath the site. Two groundwater assessment plans were
prepared in April 1983 for the two RCRA regulated units. These plans were
subsequently modified to reflect the inconsistent occurrence of contaminants
in groundwater. In final form, the assessment plans describe a phased
assessment program of confirmation sampling and analysis to be followed by
appropriate remedial action, including monitoring well network modification
where action levels are exceeded.
Concentrations of hazardous waste or waste constituents detected at SAAP
are found in Appendix I. As a result of further sampling, SAAP confirmed
the values of the constituents did not exceed action levels established under
the assessment plan. Therefore, as permitted under 265.93(d)(a), SAAP resumed
detection monitoring. However, the action levels in the assessment plan are
based on health standards for hazardous constituents, where available. The
plans are inconsistent with 40 CFR 265.93(d)(?), which requires determination
of the rate and extent of migration and concentration of hazardous waste or
hazardous waste constituents in the groundwater, independent of any "action
level."
Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plans
Sunflower AAP's Sampling and Analysis Plans prepared by the U.S. Army
Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA) for munitions plants across the country,
are included in the facility's groundwater assessment plans.
Because Sunflower AAP's groundwater sampling and analysis plans lack
-site-specific detailed descriptions of sample collection and handling
protocols, chain-of-custody procedures, and laboratory analytical methods,
the plans are do not comply with regulatory requirements pursuant to 40 CFR
265.92.

TASK FORCE SAMPLING AND MONITORING DATA EVALUATION
During the inspection. Task Force personnel collected samples from
a body of standing water and from sixteen groundwater monitoring wells,
eight of which are located near RCRA-regulated surface impoundments.
The remaining eight monitoring wells are situated near solid waste man-
agement units exempt from RCRA interim status regulations. The surface
water sample was collected due to an oily sheen observed on its surface.
Analytical data from the Task Force and Sunflower AAP samples were
evaluated and compared with Sunflower AAP data from previous sampling
events.
Evaluation and comparison of analytical data from the Task Force
and SAAP (Appendix V) samples collected from monitoring wells in the
NQ/Carbide area indicate the presence of cyanide (0.01 mg/1 in well MW-3.
Analytical data from the monitoring wells in the powerhouse/industrial
waste treatment area (coal pile runoff area) indicate no detectable release
from this area.
The surface water sample taken near the pond adjacent to well 81-52
showed no evidence of a release.
Historical data, however, has indicated contamination. Additionally,
due to the location and screen size of both upgradient and downgradient
wells, the detection monitoring system, and the assessment plan are unable
to adequately detect contamination from specific units or to determine its
rule and extent.

INVESTIGATION METHODS
The Hazardous Waste Groundwater Task Force investigation of Sunflower
Army Ammunition Plant comprised the following activities:
* A comprehensive review and evaluation of existing records,
files and documents from EPA Region VII, Kansas Department of
Health and Environment, and Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant (SAAP);
* A preliminary site visit during August 21-22, 1986;
* An onsite inspection from November 10 through November 21, 1986;
* An evaluation of the offsite contract analytical laboratories,
procedures utilized by the facility via a document review; and
* Analytical data from groundwater monitoring wells and surface water.
RECORDS AND DOCUMENT REVIEW
Pertinent records, files and documents from EPA Region VII and KDHE were
reviewed prior to and during the onsite inspection to determine the scope of
facility production activities and waste management practices employed at the
site, construction details of waste management units, and the groundwater
monitoring program. During the inspection, facility records and documents
were reviewed to verify information and to determine compliance with applicable
interim status recordkeeping requirements. Where necessary, facility documents
were photocopied for the Task Force during the inspection.
Those documents and records reviewed prior to and during the inspection
include the Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plan; the phased Groundwater
Quality Assessment Plans; past groundwater analytical data; groundwater moni-
toring well construction and installation diagrams; boring logs; groundwater
monitoring inspection reports; facility geologic reports, facility permits
and permit applications; waste management unit construction and operation
reports; installation reports describing previous and current waste management
units and practices; and operating reports which describe wastes generated at
the facility, disposition and approximate quantities.
FACILITY INSPECTION
The onsite installation inspection was performed to verify monitoring
well locations; to inspect visible well components; to identify waste
management units, both past and present; pollution control practices; and
surface drainage channels. Sunflower AAP representatives provided the
Task Force with historical and current information pertaining to installation
operations, waste management practices, and waste management units, typical
monitoring well performance, and groundwater sampling procedures employed
by the sampling team.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Sunflower AAP encompasses nearly 10,000 acres approximately three
miles south of DeSoto, Johnson County, Kansas (Figure 1). The facility,
which is federally owned and contractor-operated, manufactures propellants.
The operating contractor is Hercules, Incorporated. A sulfuric acid
plant located on-site is currently operated by a separate contractor,
Koch Industries, Inc., for use by the military. Currently, the facility,
operating at limited capacity, is producing nitroguanidine, the third
base of a triple-base propellant. The plant has the capability of producing
single- and double-base propellants. Between March 1943 and March 1947,
explosives were produced at Sunflower. Since March 1951, propellants have
been produced on a discontinuous basis. During periods of nonproduction,
the facility is maintained on stand-by status.
Process wastes generated from the production of explosives, propellants,
and propellant constituents have been managed or disposed of on-site in
numerous surface impoundments, land treatment areas, and landfills since
operations were initiated.
Sunflower AAP submitted an original notification of its hazardous
waste activities as a fully-regulated generator, transporter and treatment/
storage/disposal facility under interim status regulations on November 17,
1980. EPA issued the facility an EPA identification number, KS3213820878.
Several amended Part A Permit Applications were subsequently submitted to
revise, correct and clarify descriptions of hazardous wastes and regulated
units .
Discharges from Sunflower AAP surface impoundments to surface water
streams are permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) program, permit number KS-84-FF-2.
Because process wastes management units have received hazardous wastes
as defined in 40 CFR 261, Sunflower is subject to groundwater monitoring
requirements under RCRA. Initially, sixty groundwater monitoring wells
were installed at six separate waste management areas during September,
October, and November, 1981, to satisfy RCRA requirements. As new surface
impoundments and landfill areas have been constructed, additional monitoring
wells have been installed.
Waste management units that have been identified across SAAP, and
the regulatory status of each, are briefly described below. Process
and waste management areas, as well as monitoring well locations, are
depicted on Figures 2.

Waste Management Units Subject to RCRA Interim Status Requlation_
0 The Nitroguanidine/Carbide Area consists of gravel pads. Runoff from
this area generally flows down a ditch into a non-discharging, unlined pond.
Treatment of calcium carbide waste was accomplished by spreading the wastes
on the limestone gravel pads and applying water. During treatment, acetylene
gas was formed and discharged to the atmosphere; runoff was collected in the
non-discharging pond. The runoff may have contained some cyanide. Because
the treatment resulted in the generation of acetylene gas, the waste treated
on the pads was considered to be reactive during treatment and regulated as
a characteristic (D003) waste pursuant to 40 CFR 261.23. Approximately
1.5 tons of waste calcium carbide was treated at this site.
The triangular pond has an areal surface of approximately 41,800 square
feet and a capacity of 209,000 cubic feet. Nine groundwater monitoring wells,
the location of which are depicted on Figure 4, were installed in this area
in 1981. The pond is subject to RCRA hazardous waste interim status standards
as a waste pile.
0 The n Coal Pile Runoff Pond (Pond #165-7) receives surface water runoff
from Sunflower's stockpiled coal supply. Pond #165-7 is the first in a
series of four lagoons through which treated (neutralized) coal pile runoff
and boiler blowdown is passed prior to discharge to Kill Creek under NPDES
permit. Pond #165-7 is also one of seven surface impoundments in the Power
House/Industrial Waste Treatment Area, none of the rest of which are subject
to RCRA regulations.
Pond #165-7 was constructed and placed into service during July 1981 to
intercept discharge from stockpiled coal for neutralization and settling of
coal fines. The pond, which measures 50' x 70' x 15', has an areal surface
of 3500 feet and a capacity of 70,000 cubic feet.
Because the coal pile runoff has occasionally exhibited low pH values and
requires neutralization, the surface impoundment is subject to RCRA hazardous
waste requirements. Depending upon origin, accumulated coal fines may also
contain significant quantities of metals. Eleven groundwater monitoring wells
were installed around the area in 1981. Adjacent ash lagoons and Pond A, which
are exempt from RCRA regulations, are also monitored by the aforementioned
network of eleven wells. Monitoring wells and surface impoundment locations
are depicted on Figure 5.
Pre-RCRA Solid Waste Management Units
0 The Ash and Sanitary Landfills, as well as the Contaminated Waste
Processor (CWP) areas are monitored by a network of fourteen groundwater
monitoring wells (Figure 8). The landfills reportedly have received no
RCRA-regulated wastes during operation.
0 The Nitroglycerin Area is monitored by a network of sixteen groundwater
monitoring wells (Figure 9). Nitroglycerin process wastewaters, which ar.
corrosive (both acidic and alkaline), were discharged through open drainage
channels to Pyotts's Pond for pH adjustment prior to discharge to Kill Creek.
Nitroglycerin-contaminated solid wastes were disposed of by open burning
onsite. The nitroglycerin production was terminated prior to November 1980.

The Sulfuric Acid Regeneration (SAR) area is monitored by six ground-
water monitoring wells (Figure 10). Regeneration of spent sulfuric acid
results in the generation of corrosive wastewater which is neutralized prior
to discharge to evaporation lagoons.
0 The F-Line Paste Blender area contains two surface impoundments which
were employed as holding (settling) ponds for propel 1 ant-contaminated waste-
waters. Wastewater from this area was ultimately discharged to Kill Creek.
Four groundwater monitoring wells (Figure 11) were installed in the area
in 1981. Production in the Paste Blender area was discontinued prior to
November 1980.
SITE HYDROLOGY
GEOLOGY
In order to properly design and install an adequate groundwater monitoring
program at any facility, a comprehensive site characterization and subsurface
investigation must be accomplished. Sunflower AAP initiated a program of
site characterization based upon previous subsurface investigations and a
comprehensive literature search. Foundation investigations, on-going plant
modifications, and extensive monitoring well installation have resulted in a
relatively well-defined geologic environment at the facility.
Sunflower AAP, situated approximately 3 miles southwest of DeSoto, Kansas,
encompasses approximately 15 square miles of northwest Johnson County, Kansas.
The facility lies in the Attenuated Drift Border Division of the Dissected
Till Plains Section of the Central Lowlands Province. Maximum topographic
relief displayed across the site is approximately 180 feet.
Physiography, Topography, and Surface Drainage
SAAP is located on the border between the Dissected Till Plains and
the Osage Plains sections of the Central Lowlands physiographic province.
Maximum topographic rel.ief is approximately 180 feet from a low along
Kill Creek in the northeastern corner to a high in the south-central
portion of the installation. Surface water drainage is to either Spoon
and Kill Creeks in the east or Captain Creek in the west for most of the
installation. These creeks flow to the Kansas River, which is located
two to three miles north of the plant. Drainage for a small part of the
northwest corner of SAAP is northward to unnamed, intermittent streams
which flow directly to the Kansas River. The nitroguanidine area is
located on the drainage divide between this area and the Captain Creek
drainage area.
Regional Geology
Sedimentary bedrock units of Cambrian, Ordov;^ian, Devonian,
Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian age overlie Precanbrian rock in Johnson
County. The Pennsylvanian age rocks which outcrop in the county are of
the Missourian and Virgilian Stages. The near-surface bedrock units
at SAAP, in ascending order, are the Wyandotte Limestone and Bonner Springs
Shale formations of the Kansas City, Group; the Plattsburg Limestone,
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 10
Vilas Shale, and Stanton Limestone formations of the Lansing Group; and the
Stranger formation of the Douglas Group. General descriptions of formation
members and their average thickness at SAAP are presented in Figure 13.
Johnson County is located in a regional geologic structure called the
Prairie Plains monocline. The bedrock dips to the northwest at approximately
15 to 20 feet per mile. In the vincinity of SAAP, a gently undulating
anticlinal/synclinal structure, striking north-northwesterly, is superimposed
on the regional structure.
Overlying the bedrock in Johnson County are unconsolidated glacial,
fluvial, lacustrine, and aeolian deposits of Pleistocene age. These
unconsolidated sediments are largely glacial till and undifferentiated
fluvial and lacustrine deposits of the Kansan Stage. Recent alluvium along
the Kansas River and its tributaries are Wisconsinan and Recent in age. In
northwestern Johnson County, including the western portion of SAAP, the basal
part of the Kansan Stage deposits are commonly sand or sand and gravel. This
sand and gravel was deposited as glacial outwash and, possibly, as lacustrine
sediments in glacial lakes. Figure 12 is a geologic map of the SAAP vicinity,
Regional Grqundwater Hydrology
The principal unconsolidated sediment aquifers in Johnson County are
Kansas River valley alluvium and undiferentiated fluvial deposits in
tributary stream valleys. In addition to these Wisconsinan deposits, Kansan
fluvial and lascustrine deposits also yield small quantities of water in some
locations. Wells in the Kansas River Valley alluvium can yield 1,000 gpm or
more. Wells in tributary valleys normally yield one to 10 gpm. However,
wells in some parts of the Captain and Cedar Creek valleys could probably
yield greater quantities because of sandy sediments. On SAAP, the Kansan
deposits in the western portion of the installation would yield quantities
of water depending on the thickness of the sand or sand and gravel layer
and also the thickness of the saturated zone. Recharge of these aquifers
is through infiltration of local precipitation.
The bedrock in Johnson County generally does not yield significant
quantities of usable water. In some localities, wells in the Wyandotte
Limestone and the Ireland Sandstone Member of the Lawrence formation
yield 10 to 40 gpm. The Lawrence formation overlies the Stranger
formation in the Douglas Group; however, the Stranger formation is the
most recent bedrock strata identified in monitoring well borings at
SAAP. Certain black or very dark and fissile shales, including the
Eudora Shale, are capable of yielding up to 20 gpm of water that may be
saline. Sandstone beds in certain bedrock units, including the Rock Lake
and Vilas Shales, may also yield small quantities of water, generally
less than five gpm. In addition to the rock units mentioned, wells
installed into the zone of weathering in near-surface limestones and
shales will yield small quantities of water because of ' icreased secondary
permeability in this zone due to fractures, joints, and bedding planes.
Recharge of these shallow bedrock aquifers is by infiltration of local
precipitation through overlying unconsolidated material.

SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 11
There are no water supply wells on SAAP. The plant water supply is
obtained from wells located north of the installation in the Kansas River
Valley alluvium.
Monitoring Well Drilling Procedures
At each of the monitoring well sites, two holes were drilled. Initially,
a cable tool drill, producing a 6" x 2' cylindrical soil sample, was employed
in order to classify overburden materials and to accurately determine depth
at which top of bedrock occurs. These holes were subsequently backfilled
with sand opposite pervious zones and with a bentonite-sand mix opposite
impervious zones; a positive seal of bentonite pellets was placed between
backfill zones.
Adjacent to each cable tool boring, a second boring was drilled by
rotary methods to a predetermined bedrock unit. However, in some cases
where distinct aquifers were present in the overburden, borings were
terminated at the overburden-bedrock interface.
In order to accurately determine statigraphic sequence and elevations
of geologic contacts and to identify rock units most likely to be in the
uppermost aquifer, bedrock in the first boring at each of the general areas,
except at the Contaminated Waste Disposal Area, was continuously cored
with 6" core barrel .
Efforts to minimize introduction of pollutants into the groundwater
system during the drilling phase of well installation included the following:
(1) exclusive use of clean, treated water from the plant's
water distribution system as a drilling fluid with
total omission of drill fluid additives.
(2) use of clean and grease-free drilling tools.
(3) flushing of all rotary-drilled holes upon completion
of drilling by circulating clean water until the
return water becomes clear.
Well Construction and Development
Sunflower Monitoring wells were constructed of 4-inch I.D., schedule
40 PVC.casing and slotted, 4-inch I.D., PVC well screen with solvent-welded
couplings and bottom cap. A slot opening of 0.035" was selected to retain
approximately 95 percent of the filter-pack material, the gradation of which
was recommended by the state. The screened interval of the well extended
to one foot above the bedrock/overburden interface or to one foot above any
permeable zones in the overburder.. Filter pack was placed in the annular
space between the screen and the drill hole to a depth one foot above the
top of the screened portion of ;he well. The filter pack was of the
approximate following gradation:
-------

Page 12
Sieve Size % Retained '
#4 12
#8 62
#16 93
#30 98
#50 99
#100 100
A one-foot thick seal of bentonite pellets was placed above the filter
pack, and the annulus grouted to the surface. Grout consisted of 4 Ibs.
bentonite and 7.5 gallons of water per 94-pound sack of Portland cement.
Each well was completed with a steel protective pipe at the ground
surface. The protective pipe was surrounded by a 2' x 4" concrete pad
into which was imbedded a brass survey medallion. Refer to figure 2, a
typical well construction diagram.
Wells were developed by surging and bailing. Wells which were readily
bailed dry were further developed by introducing a clean water and continuing
suryiny and bailing. Wells which could not be bailed dry were pumped after
development until a minimum of ten casing volumns of water had been removed
from the we!1.
Appendix IV shows installation diagrams for each of the sixty wells.
Due to the relative scarcity of groundwater in the area, the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) recommended a design to
intercept as much groundwater as possible at each well location. In order
to accomplish this, all potential water bearing zones in a boring were
screened. Although this procedure may result in mixing of waters from
different strata, it was considered necessary in order to insure sufficient
quantities for sampling purposes. It also results in the inability to
distinguish hydrostatic head relationships for different strata.
Monitoring Well Network
1. The nitroyuanidine area and the carbide impoundment are located on a
topographic high which separates the Captain Creek drainage area from the
area drained by unnamed creeks flowing northward toward the Kansas River.
A total of nine monitoring wells are located at this site. Well #MW-8 is
listed as an upgradient well while wells MW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 are
listed as downgradient wells. The bedrock units dip gently to the west-
southwest. The uppermost bedrock units are the Weston Shale at the locations
of monitoring wells MW05 through MW08 and the South Bend Limestone at the
remaining well locations. The unconsolidated overburden ranges in thickness
from 12.3 feet at monitoring well MW07 to 43.2 feet at MW09,, The overburden
materials are Kansas State deposits consisting primarily of clay, silty clay,
and sandy clay, with a layer of san ' and/or clayey sand as the basal part
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 13
overlying bedrock. The thickness of the sand layer is variable, ranging
from zero at monitoring well MW07 and only 1 foot at MW05, to greater
than 10 feet at wells MW03, MW06, and MW09. Monitoring well MW03 is
located adjacent to the carbide impoundment, and the boring for this well
revealed an overburden of 37.8 feet with nearly 12 feet of sand overlying
bedrock.
Monitoring well MW03 was screened in the sand and clayey sand overlying
bedrock. All other wells were installed with screens extending from near
the top of the sand layer to the uppermost part of the Vilas Shale. The
wells installed into bedrock ranged from 71 to 90 feet in depth and had
screen lengths from 45 to 69 feet. The well casings are 4-inch-ID,
schedule-40 PVC piope and have 4-inch-ID PVC screens with a slot size of.
0.035 inch. Filter pack material was placed into the annular space between
the screen and the drill hole wall from the bottom of the hole to one foot
above the top of the screen. A one foot bentonite seal was placed above
the filter pack, and the annulus above this was grouted to the surface.
The wells were developed by surging, bailing, and pumping. The screening
of monitoring wells through both the unconsolidated overburden and the
bedrock was recommended by the State of Kansas, Department of Health and
Environment, to insure that adequate water could be obtained from the wells
when sampling. However, this design allows.mixing of water from different
strata and does not permit the measuring of piezometric head for each
water-bearing unit separately. The water level measurements obtained are
a composite of actual piezometric heads for the permeable strata penetrated
by the bore hole. Water level measurements show the composite piezometric
head to be above the top of the sand layer for all wells. During periods
of low rainfall, the water table will probably be lower and the sand may
not be fully saturated. This,site is located on a topographic high, and
groundwater flow is probably radial from the site. Monitoring well MWOS's
screen placement precludes its use as an upgradient well. As shown in
its well log in Appendix IV, well MW-81-8 is screened through a number
of formations, both unconsolidated and consolidated. Total screen length
approaches 63 feet. All nine monitoring wells yield sufficient water
such that they cannot be pumped dry with a low-volume sampling pump of the
bladder type.
2. The topographic slope at the powerhouse lagoons/coal pile impoundments
is eastward, with surface water drainage and discharge from the impoundments
(all impoundments and Pond A) flowing to Pond B, located 2,000 feet to the
east. Overflow from Pond B is to Kill Creek, located another 2,500 feet
eastward. A total of 11 groundwater monitoring wells are located around
the powerhouse impoundments, ash impoundments, and Pond A.
The powerhouse impoundments are located on the anticline ridge of
the local anticlinal/synclinal structure which strikes in a northwesterly
direction. The bedrock surface slopes generally eastward in this vicinity,
with slope a' che powerhouse impoundment site being toward the southeast.
The uppermost bedrock units are the Vilas Shale and the Spring Hill Limestone.
The unconsol.dated overburden is generally 10 feet or less in thickness and
consists of clays. Exceptions are the sites of upgradient wells MW41 and
MW42, where a thicker overburden occurs, with sand as the basal portion
overlying bedrock. Prior to construction of the impoundments, several
-------

undisturbed samples of the clay overburden were obtained, and laboratory
permeability tests were run with results indicating permeability of 10-°
to 10-4 cm/sec.
There are 11 RCRA monitoring wells in this area. MW41 and 42 are
upgradient wells; MW43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 55 are downgradient
wells. Monitoring wells were generally constructed with screens from near
the bedrock surface to the Bonner Springs Shale or the Farley Member of the
Wyandotte Limestone. Monitoring wells MW41 and MW42 were screened through
both bedrock and the overlying sand; MW41 was screened over a shorter
interval than other wells and extended only 5 feet into bedrock. The wells
ranged from 36.3 feet (MW41) to 69.0 feet (MW43) in depth, with screen
lengths ranging from 27 to 63 feet. The wells were constructed as described
in paragraph 6a(4). Monitoring wells MW43, MW45, MW47, and MW55 produce
very little water and can be pumped dry with a low volume sampling pump of
the bladder type. These four wells recharge very slowly and do not recover
completely during a 24-hour period following pumping. Other wells yield
greater amounts of water. Figure 10 is a contour map of the piezometric
surface. As discussed previously, the measurements will represent a
composite head for permeable strata because of well design. The contour
map indicates groundwater flow generally toward the east.
As in the carbide area, the upgradient wells are unacceptable. Not
only do they intercept multiple formations, but they monitor different
formations than the downgradient wells.
Upon completion of the monitoring well network, water levels were
determined, plotted, and contoured. Direction of groundwater flow at
each of the six sites was accomplished by construction of flow lines
normal to piezometric contours, as shown in Figures 6 through 11. From
this information, specific wells were established as hydraulically
upgradient or downgradient. Generally, the groundwater surface was
determined to roughly reflect surface topography.
Ash/Sanitary Landfill Area
Eleven monitoring wells, MW 81-10 through MW 82-29 and MW 81-60, were
installed in the landfill area.
Direction of groundwater movement, as shown in Figure 3, is generally
westward. Based on this premise, MW 81-17 and -18 would appear to be obvious
choices for hydraulically upgradient wells.
Contaminated Waste Disposal Facility
Three wells, ,.,--81-57, -58, -59, were installed at the CWD facility,
which lies hydrauli ,ally downgradient from the Ash/ Sanitary Landfill
(see Fi gure 8).
Groundwater flows generally westward to Captain Creek.
If the impoundment is considered to be a contamination source, MW 81-57
would be designated the hydraulically upgradient well; MW 8L-58, downgradient

GROUNDWATER MONITORING UNDER INTERIM STATUS
REGULATORY BACKGROUND
In order to comply with RCRA hazardous waste regulatory deadline of
November 1981, Sunflower AAP initially installed sixty groundwater monitoring
wells which were configured to essentially encircle specified waste management
units because aquifer characteristics and hydraulic parameters were unknown.
Following installation, groundwater gradients could be determined; and if
the monitoring well network at any location was determined to be inadequate,
modifications could be made. Based upon subsequent KDHE review, Sunflower AAP's
RCRA groundwater monitoring well networks were considered adequate and no
modifications have been required.
Sunflower AAP submitted its original Part A Permit Application in
November 1980. Included in the application were six hazardous waste areas
initially identified as requiring groundwater monitoring pursuant to RCRA
hazardous waste regulations.
Subsequent Part A applications were submitted to reflect agreements
among the facility, KDHE and EPA, regarding the status of hazardous wastes
and waste management units at the site. Following negotiations between
Sunflower AAP and EPA/KDHE during December 1982, the facility submitted
amended Part A permit applications, in October 1983 and October 1984, which
removed all but two waste management units subject to groundwater monitoring
requirements - the Nitroguanidine (NQ)/Carbide Area and the Powerhouse Lagoon
(Coal Pile Runoff Pond) - from the facility's Part A.
On February 17, 1983, SAAP submitted a notification indicating groundwater
monitoring wells in the six waste management areas showed concentrations of
certain drinking water parameters exceeding MCL's (maximum contaminant level).
See Appendix 3_ for the specific parameters and their corresponding values.
Additionally, in the t-test results from chemical analyses run in May and
June 1985, specific conductance and pH from various wells around the nitro-
guanidine/carbide Area failed as did pH for two wells at the Powerhouse/
Industrial Waste Treatment Area.
In September 1984, KDHE conducted a RCRA groundwater monitoring inspec-
tion. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the facility groundwater
monitoring program and to determine the facility rationale for submitting two
Groundwater Assessment Plans when analytical data submitted to KDHE suggested
that hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents had been released to
groundwater at all six sites with groundwater monitoring wells in place. KDHE
concluded that, because the omitted waste management units were not regulated
under RCRA, the submitted groundwater assessment plans were all that could be
required at that time.
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 17
»
In October 1984, KDHE approved a Groundwater Assessment Plan for each of
the two areas. The assessment plans, revised in February 1985, are designed
to be implemented in phases due to the sporatic occurrence of detected
groundwater contamination at the site. The Assessment Plans are provided
in Appendi x II.
Phase I of the Assessment Plans sets Action Levels for specific waste
constituents for each area; Phase II requires additional evaluation and
monitoring wells, the scope of which must be documented and approved
prior to implementation. Initially, groundwater analytical data failed
statistical evaluation for indicator parameters - specifically, pH and
specific conductivity. Upon resampling, however, indicator parameters
passed statistical tests. Specific waste constituents unique to each site
were also evaluated; however, any constituent detected during the event
when statistical failures occurred was undetected upon resampling.
Therefore, the Phased Groundwater Sampling Plans were approved by KDHE as
appropriate for the facility. With respect to 40 CFR 265 Subpart F, the
facility has reinstated an indicator evaluation program pursuant to 40 CFR
2b5.93(e)(6).
From information collected and data generated during this evaluation,
full compliance with 40 CFR 265 Subpart F was achieved.
Ad_e_quacy_ of Monitoring Networks
Pursuant to RCRA interim status requirements, the uppermost aquifer
beneath the site must be monitored (40 CFR 265.90). As defined in 40 CFR
260.10, an aquifer is a "geologic formation, group of formations, or part
of a formation capable of yielding a significant amount of groundwater to
wells or springs." An uppermost aquifer is defined as "an aquifer, as well
as lower aquifers that are hydraulically interconnected with this aquifer
within the facility's property boundary." Sunflower's identification and
monitoring program of the uppermost aquifer beneath the site may have been
ambitious. In an apparent effort to intercept sufficient groundwater for
sampling purposes, monitoring wells interconnect multiple, possibly discreet,
water-bearing strata.
This has resulted in the inability of the wells both upgradient and
downgradient, to adequately portray the groundwater quality of the upper
aquifer. Additionally, due to the distance between the monitoring wells
and the regulated units, it is infeasible to determine whether the units
are affecting groundwater quality. As required under 265.91, the down-
gradient monitoring wells should be polaced so as to immediately detect
any statistically significant amounts of hazardous waste.
SAAP's assessment plan does not meet the requirements of 265.93(d)
since the present monitoring system is incapable of determining the extent,
both horizontally and vertically, and concentration of hazardous waste
parameters.
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 18
Of particular concern is the inability of SAAP to adequately address
the origin of specific parameters found in both upgradient and downgradient
wells such as: the presence of low concentrations of cyanide in NQ/Carbide
Area monitoring wells, the design of which introduces significant dilution
potential. Sunflower's detection limit for cyanide is 0.01 milligram per
liter (mg/1); the Action Level is 0.2 mg/1 (based upon EPA's Interim Primary
Drinking Water Standards).
* In November 1984, cyanide (at 0.16 mg/1) was detected in
MW 81-4 , a well screened across the overburden/bedrock
interface and several bedrock strata. At the same time,
cyanide was not detected in MW 81-3, a monitoring well
completed in overburden.
* In May 1985, cyanide was detected in MW 81-8 at a con-
centration of 0.03 mg/1.
* In November 1985, cyanide was detected in MW 81-8 and MW 81-7
at 0.06 and 0.05, respectively.
The historical levels of Selenium in wells 41, 42, 43, 44,
45, 46, 47, 50, and 55 and,
The levels of both chromium, arsenic, and lead found in
wells monitoring the powerhouse.
GROUND WATER' SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN
Sunflower AAP has adopted a generic Sampling and Analysis Plan --
U.S. Army Groundwater Monitoring and Assessment Program - Instructions For
Collection, Preparation and Shipment of Samples (September L981) -developed
by the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA), Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Maryland. Subsequent sampling procedures were developed by USAEHA
and included in the facility's Phased Groundwater Assessment Program.
Supplemental sampling procedures were later developed for incorporation
into Sunflower's Phased Groundwater Assessment Program. Additional modifi-
cations were recently prepared by Hercules, Inc. for use by the sampling team
which carefully describe use, calibration and cleaning of equipment used at
the facility.
Sunflower's Sampling and Analysis Plans are inadequate. The facility's
Sampling and Analysis Plans are appended to this report (see Appendix II).
Specifically, Sampling and Analysis Plan deficiencies include the following:
1. The plan has not been updated to reflect changes
in Army directives and regulations. Current data
sheets are absent.
2. Detailed descriptions of analytical procedures
and laboratory QA/QC procedures are absent.
-------
SAAP, Oesoto, KS
Page 19
3. Routine determination of well depths is not specified.
4. Static water levels are specified to be determined to
the nearest 0.1 foot. However, Sunflower AAP's current
procedures require that water levels be determined to
the nearest 0.01 foot, as recommended by EPA protocols.
GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT PLANS
Incorporated in the Groundwater Assessment Plans are Action Levels for
specific constituents for each of the two areas. Action Levels are set at
10 times the detection limit for specific constituents for which health based
standards are unknown or reflect health standards, if available. Action Levels
are provided in Table 3. The action levels must be exceeded for SAAP to
implement groundwater assessment investigation pursuant to 40 CFR 265.93(d)(4).
However, these plans are inconsistent with 40 CFR 265.93(d)(4) which requires
determination of groundwater determination, independent of any action level.
LABORATORY EVALUATION
Sunflower AAP's sampling and analytical activities are initiated and
coordinated through the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA),
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. All sample containers are prepared and
provided by USAEHA on a predetermined schedule. All samples are returned
to USAEHA following the sampling event. USAEHA analyzes groundwater
samples for melamine, urea, and nitroguanidine in-house; all other parameters
are sent to the following contract laboratories:
Century Laboratory TOX, TOC, Specific Conductivity
Thoroughfare, New Jersey
Bionetics Laboratories Cyanide;
Silver Spring, Maryland Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia;
Ba, As, Cd, Cr, Ag, Hg, Se
Hittman Laboratories Ba, As, Cd, Cr, Ag, Hg, Se
Silver Spring, Maryland plus
Fe, Mn, Na, Cl , Sulfates, Phenols
During a preparatory interview with USEHA representatives, Region VII
analytical chemists scheduled to perform the audit determined that the Quality
Assurance Program employed by USEHA is more comprehensive than that in-place
in Region VII. Therefore, the laboratory audit, which is a review of laboratory
documentation and programs provided, was eliminated from this CME.

SUNPLOWER ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Due to an air compressor malfuntion, the Sunflower AAP sampling team
was unable to provide a field demonstration of facility sampling protocols.
However, a description of sampling procedures was provided, a summary of
which follows:
1. In order to determine static water levels for evaluation of a
groundwater flow condition Sunflower AAP's sampling team determines all
static water levels prior to the purging and sampling of any well. Static
water levels are determined immediately prior to purging each well. A
Soil Test" water probe, the probe of which contains lead, is employed.
Decontamination is accomplished by rinsing the unit, with particular
attention to the probe and cable, with one gallon of deionized water prior
to and following each well.
2. A geofilter" Bladder Pump is used to purge and sample each monitoring
well. The pump and associated air and discharge lines are cleaned prior
to use by running approximately one gallon of deionized water through the
system. The exterior of air and discharge lines is rinsed with approximately
one gallon of water. Because the pump is driven by the air compressor, a
demonstration was not performed.
3. Typically, the samplers removed 1.5 to 2 well volumes, depending upon
drawdown, from each well. Many wells recover very slowly. Water levels are
determined during the event and recorded in Sunflower's permanent record so
that relative well performance over time can be determined. Specific conduc-
tivity and pH are measured at five-gallon intervals, or two-gallon intervals
for shallow or low-yield wells; upon stablization, the purging process is
complete. Monitoring wells are not purged to dryness because some water must
remain in the well to operate the pump. The pump is set near, but above, the
monitoring well bottom.
4. Field parameters are determined with instruments, all of which are
corrected, where appropriate, for temperature variations. All instruments
are calibrated monthly in the facility's onsite instrument laboratory.
Specific conductivity is measured with a VSI™ meter; pH is determined with
a Beckman pH Meter, which during sampling, is calibrated daily.
5. Purged water is discharged on the ground some distance away from the
well. Generally, the team purges a day ahead of sample collection to allow
low-yield wells to recharge, generally not an acceptable EPA practice.
6. A trained and experienced Sunflower AAP sampling team of two
employees performs RCRA groundwater monitoring sampling events. The team
explained that, although their procedures were carefully described and
practiced, they were unfamiliar with a specific, step-by-step plan which
precisely defines field procedures.
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 21
7. In order to ship groundwater samples via overnight1deli very to USAEHA,
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, groundwater sampling is terminated early
each day. Sample preparation is performed in the facility laboratory. All
sample bottles and preservatives are shipped to Sunflower from USAEHA for
each sampling event. All samples are preserved as appropriate, packed,
secured and iced in insulated shuttles for shipment.
8. Chain-of-Custody records are generated upon completion of sampling
and included in the shuttle for shipment. A photocopy of the facility's
chain-of-custody form is included in the sampling and Analysis Plans
(Appendix II).
9. The sampling team meticulously records all field data and conditions on
field sheets which are to become part of the permanent record maintained at
the site. These records are reviewed during subsequent sampling events to
determine if well performance has altered. The sampling team was quite
familiar with typical well performance.
10. Because groundwater quality at RCRA regulated units has not been
grossly impacted, the order of sampling is determined by logistics to
take full advantage of limited field time each day.
11. The facility's Sampling and Analysis Plan, prepared by USAEHA in
1981 is a plan prepared for Army ammunition plants requiring groundwater
monitoring. The plan has been modified by USAEHA for supplemental plans
which are included in facility assessment plans.
Sample Collection and Analysis
Facility sampling team members received split samples from EPA,
and prepared to demonstrate sampling procedures typically employed
by the facility. However, euipment malfunction precluded a full field
demonstration.
The sampling component of the investigation comprised two key
acti vi ti es :
* Determination of static water levels and well depths in all
monitoring wells onsite installed since 1980, and
* Collection of groundwater samples from sixteen monitoring
wells and one surface water sample.
Water level measurements were taken to evaluate the direction of
groundwater flow and to calculate the volume of water in each well. Due
to the size of the site and the number of discrete waste management units,
the facility's groundwater monitoring well system monitors multiple units
as opposed to specific units. No groundwater data >j available for areas
which lie between waste management units (which would monitor specific
units.

A single surface water sample was collected in an abandoned trough in
the T Line Paste Blender Pond Area due to an observation of an oily film.
SAAP collected a full set of split samples for all monitoring wells
sampled by EPA.
All monitoring wells were purged and sampled with dedicated Teflon
bailers provided by EPA's contractor, Allied Technologies, Inc. To
expedite determination of groundwater level data and collection of samples,
two field teams were formed. All water levels were determined prior to the
purging and sampling to any one well. Groundwater samples were collected
utilizing the following procedures:
1. The SAAP representative unlocked the steel protective casing and
removed the PVC well cap.
2. The EPA contractor monitored the open wellhead for chemical vapor
using either an HNu meter or an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA).
3. The EPA contractor measured the depth to water using a we!1 probe
(Johnson Watermarker), the probe tip of which is lead.
4. Although a steel tape was prepared for determination of well depth,
apparently inadequate weights were affixed and the bottom of wells could
not be accurately measured. Therefore, well depths were determined with
the electric well probe. All measurements were referenced to a marked
point at the top of the PVC casing, the elevation of which had been
previously surveyed and recorded. A 2' x 2' x 4" concrete pad, into
which location coordinates and surveyed elevation are permanently marked,
surrounds each groundwater monitoring well.
5. The well probe was retrieved and decontaminated after each well with a
pesticide-grade hexane wipe followed by a distilled water rinse and dry wipe.
6. The PVC well cap was replaced and the steel protective casing was locked
by the SAAP participant.
7. Task Force personnel then calculated well volume using water column height
and wel1 casing radius.
8. To sample each well, the SAAP aprticipant unlocked the steel protective
casing and uncapped the PVC well. The EPA contractor then purged each well
by bailing a minimum of three water column volumes, or until dry. Water was
discharged into a five-gallon plastic bucket that had been calibrated in
gallons and accumulated in plastic drums placed at each well site by SAAP
for subsequent disposal. For this event the facility provided drums for
the management of purged well water. However, SAAP personnel typically
discharge evacuated well water on the ground some distant away from the
well head.

SAAP, Desoto, KS

9. The EPA contractor collected sample aliquot for determination of field
parameters (temperature, turbidity, specific conductance, and pH) minimally
at the beginning and conclusion of each purge to evaluate effectiveness of
well evacuation.
10. The EPA contractor filled sample containers employing both the procedure
and order specified in Tables 1 and 2. Split samples were achieved by filling
approximately one-third of each bottle for the Task Force and SAAP, respectively,
The process was repeated until each container was filled.
11. All samples were immediately placed in insulated coolers.
12. Following completion of sampling at a given well, EPA contract parti-
cipants returned to a staging area for sample preservation, if required, and
for filtering of the dissolved metal aliquot. Sample preservation procedures
are provided in Table 1.
13. Quality control samples (duplicates) were collected from monitoring
wells MW 81-36 and M@ 81-41 upon completion of the groundwater smapling.
The field blank, however, was collected later at MW 81-42, chosen due to
the dusty conditions prevalent at the site and the proximity to the coal
pi le.
14. The sample of surface water was collected with a jar and extension
sampling arm from ponded water near MW 81-52. This body of surface water
ultimately discharges to Kill Creek. A complete set of parameters was •
collected; SAAP received split samples.
EVALUATION OF MONITORING DATA FOR
INDICATIONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE lETTASE
In order to evaluate indications of release of hazardous wastes or
hazardous waste constituents from waste management units at Sunflower AAP,
an analysis of monitoring data has been performed. Evaluated were results/
analytical reports from the November 1986 sampling inspection as well as
previous facility data. Appended to this document are analytical data,
as well as analytical methods employed for the November 1986 sampling event.
(Appendix V). For each of the two RCRA-regulated areas, data indicate the
followi ng:
1. NQ/Carbide Area: Four of the existing nine montoring wells were samples
during November 1986, one of which NW 81-03, is located immediately adjacent
to and hydraulically downgradient from the surface impoundment. Of the
network of nine wells, MW 81-03 is the singular overburden well and is
constructed with the shortest screen (approximately 20 feet). Due to its
location and depth, analytical r'~la from MW 81-03 should be closely monitored
for indications of release.
-------
: GWM Evaluation
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 24
SAAP data from the November 1986 sampling also indicated cyanide at the
detection level of 0.01 mg/1 in MW 81-03. Review of previous Sunflower data
indicate that cyanide has randomly been detected in other monitoring wells
across the area but this is the first occurrence of cyanide in MW 81-03. In
all cases, cyanide concentrations are slightly above or at detection levels
and below health-based maximum concentrations of 0.2 milligrams per liter
(mg/1).
2. Power House Lagoon Area (Coal Pile Runoff Pond): Task Force and SAAP
data from the four monitoring wells sampled in this area, two of which are
upgradient, indicate levels below MCL values which are constituents of
concern. One should note that SAAP data indicate the presence of cyanide
in the two upgradient wells, MW 81-41 and 42, at .02 mg/1 for each well.
Task Force data does not report the occurrence of cyanide in either of these
two wel1s.
For the four Solid Waste Management Areas (SWMUs) data evaluation is
as follows:
1. Ash/Sanitary Landfill: Although this area is exempt from RCRA interim
status requirements, analytical data indicate release of wastes to groundwater,
Task Force data suggest that total lead (0.09 mg/1) was detected in MW 81-13.
SAAP data confirms the presence of lead, with November 1986 analytical data
reporting lead at 4.030 mg/1.
Task Force data also suggest (qualitatively) the presence in MW 81-13 of
TCE at .0028 mg/1 and Furan at .190 mg/1. Task Force data from MW 81-12 also
suggest the presence of Toluene at 0.0024 mg/1 and Furan at 0.036 mg/1,
qualitatively, and selenium at 0.04 mg/1 (the maximum allowable concentration
under RCRA is 0.01 mg/1). Because these data strongly suggest releases of
hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents, the Task Force recommends
that Ash/Sanitary Landfill be closely scrutinized for releases of hazardous
waste or hazardous waste constituents to the environment.
2. Nitroglycerin (NG) Area: Task Force analytical data from the two monitor-
ing wells sampled in the NG area indicate the presence of two explosive
compounds, RDX and HMX, in the groundwater. SAAP data does not confirm this
because the reported concentrations from Task Force data are below facility
detect!on 1imits.
Task Force data suggest the presence of HMX at .050 mg/1 was reported
in MW 81-31 at .011 mg/1. Relatively high concentrations of sulfates were
reported in MW 81-29 and -38 at 425 mg/1 and 320 mg/1, respectively. It is
recommended that the NP area be evaluated under RCRA authorities granted
under HSWA of 1984.
3. Sulfuric Acid Regeneration (SAR) ' joons: The singular monitoring well
(MW 81-36, sampled in the SAR area was selected due to an oily-appearing
sediment observed on the well probe w'.en retrieved from sounding monitoring
well depth. Samples collected were turbid (4NTU). Analytical data from this
well indicate no significant contamination, although elevated sulfate levels
were detected.
-------
SAAP, Desoto, KS
Page 25
4. F-Lirie Paste Blender Pond Ar_e_a_: Monitoring well MW 81-54 was selected
for sampling to determine if hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents
have been released to groundwater beneath the ponds. Based upon analytical
data, releases are not indicated.
UPDATE
The two active RCRA units, the Carbide Treatment Area and the Coal Pile
Runoff Area are currently undergoing closure. On July 1, 1987, closure plans
for both areas were approved.
SAAP has indicated it will attempt to clean close both areas.
Recent data from 1987 indicates a number of concerns involving specific
parameters still remain. These include:

3. PURPOSE. This document is a plan for the accomplishment of a ground-
water quality assessment study at Sunflower AAP. This plan has been prepared
to meet the requirements of the State of Kansas, Department of Health and
Environment, Hazardous Waste Management Standards and Regulations (reference
1). The purpose of this ground-water quality assessment is to determine the
extent, concentration, and rate of movement of hazardous wastes and hazardous
waste constituents in the ground water. The site being addressed by this
plan is the nitroguanidine/carbide area surface impoundment.

a. Abbreviations. See Appendix B for a listing of abbreviations used in
this report.
b. Personnel Contacted.
(1) Mr. Thomas Stutz, Commander's Representative, Sunflower AAP.
(2) Mr. James Turrentine, Chief Engineer, Sunflower AAP.
(3) Mr. Larry Johnson, Senior Process Engineer, Hercules, Inc.
(4) Ms. Beverly Mohler, Engineer, Hercules, Inc.
(5) Mr. Mike Robbinson, Hercules, Inc.
c. Location and Mission. Sunflower AAP is located near DeSoto, Kansas,
approximately 30 miles west of Kansas City, in northwestern Johnson County
(see Figure 1). Sunflower AAP is approximately 15 square miles in size. The
plant is Government-owned, contractor-operated (Hercules, Inc.) with the
LM .mary mission of manufacturing propel 1 ants and smokeless powder.
d. Background. A total of nine monitoring wells were installed at this
site in 1981 by the CE. The location, depth, and number of wells were
determined cooperatively by the CE and the State of Kansas. Four quarters of
ground-water quality data have been obtained as required by regulations
(reference 1). This plan will be implemented if indicator parameter data for

downgradient wells to be gathered in future semiannual monitoring show
significantly higher (or lower for pll) concentrations than first-year data
from upgradient wells. The comparison'to identify significant concentration
differences will be made using statistical testing as required by regulation.
Data from first-year routine ground-water quality monitoring have shown no
direct evidence of ground-water contamination from the site.
5. DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL SETTING.
a. Physiography, Topography, and Surface Drainage. Sunflower AAP is
located on the border between the Dissected Till Plains and the Osage Plains
sections of the Central Lowlands physiographic province. Maximum topographic
relief is approximately 180 feet from a low along Kill Creek in the north-
eastern corner to a high in the south-central portion of the installation.
Surface water drainage is to either Spoon and Kill Creeks in the east or
Captain Creek 1n the west for most of the installation (see Figure 2). These
creeks flow to the Kansas River, which 1s located 2 to 3 miles north of the
plant. Drainage for a small part of the northwest corner of Sunflower AAP is
northward to unnamed, intermittent streams which flow directly to the Kansas
River. The nitroguanidine area is located on the drainage divide between
this area and the Captain Creek drainage area.
b. Regional Geology.
(1) Sedimentary bedrock units of Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian,
Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian age overlie Precambrian rock in Johnson
County (reference 2). The Pennsylvanian age rocks which outcrop in the
county are of the Missourian and Virgilian Stages. The near-surface bedrock
units at Sunflower AAP, in ascending order, are the Wyandotte Limestone and
Bonner Springs Shale formations of the Kansas. City Group; the Plattsburg
Limestone, Vilas Shale, and Stanton Limestone formations of the Lansing
Group; and the Stranger formation of the Douglas Group. General descriptions
of formation members and their average thickness at Sunflower AAP are
presented in Figure 3.
(2) Johnson County is located in a regional geologic structure
called the Prairie Plains monocline. The bedrock dips to the northwest at
approximately 15 to 20 feet per mile. In the vicinity of Sunflower AAP, a
gently undulating anticlinal/synclinal structure, striking north-north-
westerly, 1s superimposed on the regional structure (reference 3).
(3) Overlying the bedrock 1n Johnson County are unconsolidated
glacial, fluvial, lacustrine, and aeolian deposits of Pleistocene age. These
unconsolidated sediments are largely glacial till and undifferentiated
fluvial and lacustrine deposits of the Kansan Stage. Recent alluvium along
the Kansas River and its tributaries are'Wi sconsinan and Recent in age. In
northwestern Johnson County, including the western portion of Sunflower AAP,

the basal part of the Kansan Stage deposits are commonly sand or sand and
gravel. This sand and gravel was deposited as glacial outwash and, possibly,
as lacustrine sediments in glacial lakes. Figure 4 is a geologic map of the
Sunflower MP vicinity.
c. Regional Ground-water Hydrology.
(1) The principal unconsolidated sediment aquifers in Johnson County
are Kansas River valley alluvium and undifferentlated fluvial deposits in
tributary stream valleys. In addition to these Wisconsinan deposits, Kansan
fluvial and lacustrine deposits also yield small quantities of water in some
locations. Wells in the Kansas River Valley alluvium can yield 1,000 gpm or
more. Wells in tributary valleys normally yield 1 to 10 gpm. However, wells
in some parts of the Captain and Cedar Creek valleys could probably yield
greater quantities because of sandy sediments (reference 2). On Sunflower
AAP. the Kansan deposits in the western portion of the installation would
yield quantities of water depending on trie thickness of the sand or sand and
gravel layer and also the thickness of the saturated zone. Recharge of these
aquifers is through infiltration of local precipitation.
v
(2) The bedrock in Johnson County generally does not yield
significant quantities of usable water. In some localities, wells in the
Wyandotte Limestone-and the Ireland Sandstone Member of the Lawrence
formation yield 10 to 40 gpm. The Lawrence formation overlies the Stranger
formation in the Douglas Group; however, the Stranger formation is the most
recent bedrock strata identified in monitoring well borings at Sunflower AAP.
Certain black or very dark and fissile shales, including the Eudora Shale,
are capable of yielding up to 20 gpm of water that may be saline. Sandstone
beds in certain bedrock units, including the Rock Lake and Vilas Shales, may
also yield small quantities of water, generally less than 5 gpm. In addition
to the rock units mentioned, wells installed into the zone of weathering in
near-surface limestones and shales will yield small quantities of water
because of increased secondary permeability in this zone due to fractures,
joints, and bedding planes. Recharge of these shallow bedrock aquifers is by
infiltration of local precipitation through overlying unconsolIdated
material.
(3) There are no water supply wells on Sunflower AAP. The plant
water supply is obtained from wells located north of the installation in the
Kansas River Valley alluvium.
6. SITE DESCRIPTION.
a. The carbide treatment • .stewater impoundment is in the nitroguanldine
manufacturing area which is locited in the northwest portion of Sunflower AAP
(see Figure 5). This unlined surface impoundment is triangular and
approximately 270 ft by 270 ft by 380 ft with a maximum depth of about 8 ft.

b. In the manufacture of nitroguanidine, calcium carbide and nitrogen
are combined in the presence of fluorspar (catalyst) to produce calcium
cyanamide. A solid waste material which is primarily calcium carbide, but
which also contains calcium cyanamide and fluorspar, is treated by spreading
on the ground surface and spraying with water. The water and calcium carbide
react to form calcium hydroxide and acetylene. The acetylene is evolved as a
gas. Runoff from the treatment pad area is into the adjacent surface
impoundment. The impoundment receives runoff only from the treatment pad
area and does not overflow. The surface impoundment was constructed in 1980
for this new manufacturing facility, and the amount of carbide waste treated
included approximately 100 pounds during 1981 and 3,000 pounds during 1982.
c. The nitroguanidine area and the carbide impoundment are located on a
topographic high which separates the Captain Creek drainage area from the
area drained by unnamed creeks flowing northward toward the Kansas River (see
Figure 6|. A total of nine monitoring wells are located at this site (see
Figure 7). The bedrock units dip gently to the west-southwest (see Figure
8). Figure 9 is a top-of-bedrock contour map for the area. The uppermost
bedrock units are the Weston Shale at the locations of monitoring wells MW05
through MW08 and the South Bend Limestone at the remaining well locations.
The unconsolidated overburden ranges in thickness from 12.3 ft at monitoring
well MW07 to 43.2 ft at MW09. The overburden materials are Kansas Stage
deposits consisting primarily of clay, silty clay, and sandy clay, with a
layer of sand and/or clayey sand as the basal part overlying bedrock (see
boring logs, Appendix C). The thickness of the sand layer is variable,
ranging from zero at monitoring well MW07 and only 1 ft at MW05, to greater
than 10 ft at wells MW03, MW06, and MW09. Monitoring well MW03 is located
adjacent to the carbide impoundment, and the boring for this well revealed an
overburden of 37.8 ft with nearly 12 ft of sand overlying bedrock.
d. Monitoring well MW03 was screened in the sand and clayey sand
overlying bedrock. All other wells were installed with screens extending
from near the top of the sand layer to the uppermost part of the Vilas Shale.
The wells installed into bedrock ranged from 71 to 90 ft in depth and had
screen lengths from 45 to 69 ft (see well installation drawings, Appendix C).
The well casings are 4-1nch-ID, schedule-40 PVC pipe and have 4-inch-ID PVC
screens with a slot size of 0.035 inch. Filter pack material was placed into
the annular space between the screen and the drill hole wall from the bottom
of the hole to 1 ft above the top of the screen. A 1 ft bentonite seal was
placed above the filter pack, and the annul us above this was grouted to the
surface. The wells were developed by surging, bailing, and pumping. The
screening of monitoring wells through both the unconsolidated overburden and
the the bedrock was recommended by the State of Kansas, Department of Health
and Environment, to insure that adequate; water could be obtained from the
wells when sampling. However, this des'gn allows mixing of water from
different strata and does not permit tne measuring of piezometric head for
each water-bearing unit separately. The water level measurements obtained

will be a composite of actual piezometric heads for the permeable strata
penetrated by the bore hole. Significant differences in the piezometric head
of water in the overburden and the upper bedrock units are not expected at
this site, and the use of composite head measurements is probably acceptable.
However, there are probably significant differences in hydraulic conductivity
and ground-water flow rates among strata. Water level measurements show the
composite piezometric head to be above the top of the sand layer for all
wells. During periods of low rainfall, the water table will probably be
lower and the sand may not be fully saturated. This site is located on a
topographic high, and ground-water flow is probably radial from the site.
Monitoring well MW08 is most appropriate as a background well. Monitoring
well MW03, being adjacent to the carbide impoundment, should certainly
intercept any contaminated ground water from the impoundment. All nine
monitoring wells yield sufficient water such that they cannot be pumped dry
with a low-volume sampling pump of the bladder type.
7. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS DATA.
a. Ground-water samples have been collected from the monitoring wells
and analyzed for parameters specified by regulations (reference 1)^ The
sampling frequency was quarterly during the first year of monitoring to
establish baseline data. The parameters specified by regulation include
NIPDWR parameters; indicators of ground-water quality, including iron,
manganese, sodium, chloride, phenol, and sulfate; and indicators of ground-
water contamination including pH, specific conductance, TOC; and TOX. The
analytical results are tabulated in Appendix D. First-quarter analytical
work was performed by Wilson Laboratories and second through fourth-quarter
analyses were performed by Century Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc.
b. First-year ground-water quality data for the nine wells from this
area show pesticides and most heavy metals to be nondetectable. Fluoride and
nitrate/nitrite as N levels are uniform for all wells and below NIPDWR
standards. Specific conductance and TOC levels are also uniform, with
specific conductance levels ranging from roughly 300 to 800 umhos/cm and TOC
levels fluctuating seasonally from levels of <10 mg/L to levels ranging from
40 to 75 mg/L. With the type of wastes at this site, the best indicators of
ground-water contamination from among the parameters measured would be
nitrate/nitrite as N, pH, and specific conductance. Samples from monitoring
well MW03, located adjacent to the carbide impoundment, do not show elevated
levels of these parameters.
8. PLAN OF ACTION.
a. Phase 1.
(1) This ground-water quality assessment plan will be implemented
when a significant increase (or pH decrease) is detected between first-year
upgradient well data and current data for a downgradient well for an
indicator parameter and results have been confirmed by resampling and
14
-------
Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0461-84, 12-15 Apr
83
analysis. Significant difference is defined as rejection of the hypothesis
that the means of the two data sets are equal when the Student's t-test at
the 0.01 level of significance is used. The first step of the assessment
will be the analysis of ground-water samples from existing wells to determine
if hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents are present in the ground
water. If hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents are not detected,
the assessment will proceed no further. However, if ground-water
contamination is detected, additional work will be performed to determine the
extent, rate of movement, and concentration of contaminants in the ground
water. This additional work (Phase 2) is described in paragraph 8b.
Sampling and sample preparation procedures specified in Appendix E will be
employed during this assessment.
(2) The waste material entering the carbide impoundment is runoff
from the carbide treatment pad. At this pad, waste material consisting of
calcium carbide, calcium cyanamide, fluorspar, and carbon is treated by
spraying with water. The fluorspar and carbon are not hazardous and will not-
be discussed further. The calcium carbide reacts with the water, producing
calcium hydroxide and acetylene which is evolved as a gas:
CaC2 + 2H20 — ~- HC=CH + Ca(OH)2 + heat
The calcium cyanamide is not stable in water, and the principal degradation
products are expected to be calcium hydroxide and nitrogen compounds. One of
the commercial uses of calcium cyanamide is as a fertilizer. The nitrogen
compounds formed would include urea, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is
possible that some melamine might also be formed. Intermediate degradation
products not stable in water include calcium hydrogen cyanamide, cyanamide,
and possibly dicyandiamide.
(3) To determine if hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents
are in the ground water, samples from all existing wells will be analyzed for
urea, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, melamine, and cyapide. Sunflower AAP
personnel have stated that cyanide has been identified in the impoundment;
however, review of literature does not indicate that cyanide is a possible
•degradation product. Analysis for cyanide will be performed to confirm or ideny
its existence. Specific conductance and pH will also be measured when
samples are taken because of the calcium hydroxide formed when the wastes
degrade. Urea and melamine will be determined using the analytical methods
of Appendix F. The other analyses will be performed using published
methodology (EPA or Standard Methods, references 4 and 5).
(4) Those analyses performed by USAEHA will be accomplished using
appropriate quality assurance procedures. These procedures include analyses
of standards, duplicates, spikes, and blanks. In addition, blind QC samples
and EPA or commercial reference standards will be analyzed to further ensure
quality of analytical results. Procedures will also be employed for sample
15
-------
Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0461-84, 12-15 Apr 83
control and'data management in the laboratory. When .analytical work Is
performed by a contract laboratory, the laboratory,'will be required to comply
with the quality assurance procedures outlined in reference 6.
(5) With the type of waste materials at this site, pH and specific
conductance are expected to be useful as indicators of possible ground-water
contamination. The hazardous waste constituents or their degradation
products will not be detectable by the indicator parameters TOC and TOX.
b. Phase 2.
(1) General. If Phase 1 work described in paragraph 8a determines
that hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents have entered the ground
water, additional work (Phase 2) will be performed to determine the extent,
rate of movement, and concentration of contaminants in the ground water.
This additional work will involve drilling additional monitoring wells,
performing aquifer tests, and analyzing water samples to determine
contaminant concentrations.
(2) The principal flow of ground water at this site is ir* the sand
overlying the bedrock. Initially, 12 monitoring wells will be installed at
six locations. At each location, both a shallow overburden and a deeper
bedrock well will be installed. Shallow overburden wells will be installed
in borings made to bedrock and will be screened in the interval from top of
bedrock to the top of the sand or clayey sand layer. Where'the sand layer is
very thin or does not exist, the top of the screen will be placed at the top
of the water table (or historical high water table if wells are installed
during a dry period). Proposed locations for these wells are shown on Figure
10. These initial six locations have been selected primarily to obtain site
ground-water hydrology information.
(3) Soil samples will be taken at intervals of not more than 5 ft in
the overburden, with at least one sample from the sand or clayey sand above
bedrock. Selected samples will be tested to classify the soil. Tests to be
performed include laboratory permeability, grain size distribution, Atterburg
limits, moisture content, density, and porosity.
(4) Aquifer tests will be performed for the six shallow wells to
determine hydraulic conductivity. Rising or falling head (slug) tests will
initially be performed. If the hydraulic conductivity and saturated
thickness are found to be adequate to perform a pump test, such a test will
be performed to obtain additional estimates of hydraulic conductivity. The
location for such a test will be chosen after the other initial Phase 2 work
has been completed. The hydraulic conductivity estimates obtained from
aquifer tests will be used along with water table gradient and soils testing
data to estimate ground-water flow direction and rafc? of movement (linear
velocity).

(5) Chemical analysis data from Phase 1 of the assessment may be
useful in determining ground-water flow direction. If ground-water
contamination is found in samples from existing wells other than MW03, the
proposed well locations shown in Figure 10 may be changed and several
additional shallow wells may be added as appropriate.
(6) Bedrock wells will be constructed by drilling to the top of the
Vilas Shale and casing the hole to bedrock. The bedrock wells are expected
to have small yields. After completion, the wells will be pumped until clear
water is produced, and the maximum yield of each well will be determined.
Any wells which yield more than 10 gpm will be pumped with a pneumatic
packer-pump unit to identify those strata yielding significant water and the
yield of each.
(7) Piezometric measurements will be obtained for the shallow
overburden wells and for the bedrock wells. In addition, piezometric
measurements will be obtained for separate strata for any bedrock well with a
higher yield. It is expected that at least the upper bedrock units are
hydraulically connected to the unconsolidated sand aquifer and that there
will not be piezometric differences between these strata.
(8) Rising or falling head (slug) tests will be performed with the
bedrock wells to obtain an estimate of hydraulic conductivity. This
estimated hydraulic conductivity, along with hydraulic gradients and
estimates of bedrock porosity, will be used to estimate ground-water flow
velocity. Only ranges of possible flow velocity will be estimated because
the hydraulic conductivity and the porosity values used for the calculations
will be only rough estimates and will probably vary significantly among the
separate bedrock strata. Conservative (worst case) estimates will be made
with the primary intent being comparison with.estimates obtained for the
overlying sand. The hydraulic conductivity of, and flow velocities in, the
sand are expected to be greater than that of the bedrock strata. If this is
true, the extent of ground-water contamination will be determined by flow in
the sands (where sands exist).
(9) Water samples will be obtained from existing wells, shallow
wells, and from bedrock wells. Analysis will be performed for the
contaminants found during Phase 1. When sampling the bedrock wells, a
pneumatic packer-pump unit will be used to obtain samples from separate units
individually.
c. Phase 3. After the Phase 2 work has been completed, additional wells
will be installed as needed to dp^'.rmine the "extent" of ground-water
contamination. The location, number, and depth of wells will be determined
after the initial Phase 2 work is completed. Better estimates of
ground-water contaminant movement rates and information concerning flow in
separate strata will also be obtained through actual observations of
contamination extent and flow times.

Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0461-84, 12-15 Apr 83
d. Drifling and Well Installation.
(1) Drilling Method. The drilling of shallow wells to be screened
in the overburden material will be by use of cable tool or hollow-stem auger
techniques. Borings into bedrock will be accomplished using rotary
techniques with only water as a drilling fluid.
(2) Well Specifications. The well casing for shallow overburden
wells will be 4-inch-ID PVC pipe with threaded joints. The well screen will
be preslotted PVC pipe with a slot size of 0.035 inch. A uniform and
complete filling of the annular space with sandpack, bentonite pellets, and
grout should be achieved. The sand will be clean, texturally larger than the
slot size of the screen, and fill the annular space to approximately 3 ft
above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal will be installed above the
sandpack. The seal should be 2 ft of tamped bentonite-water mixture
(bentonite pellets should be used because bentonite powder will bridge the
annular space as soon as it contacts moisture.) Then a grout mixture of
premixed cement, 3-percent bentonite powder, and water should be pumped into
the annular space from the top of the bentonite seal to the ground surface.
\
(3) Well Protection. Each well will be covered with a vented cap.
A protective casing, a section of steel pipe larger in diameter than the PVC
casing, should be placed into the cement grout. It should be fitted with a
hinged cap with lock.
(4) Survey of Wells. Each well will be located with reference to
vertical and horizontal control by survey methods.
(5) Well Development. Each well will be fully developed as soon as
practical after installation but no sooner than 48 hours following the
placement of the cement grout. Development will be accomplished with a surge
block and a bailer until the water removed from the well is clear. As a
minimum, each well should have 5 volumes of water pumped or bailed as part of
development. The development equipment will be washed with clean water
before each use to prevent cross contamination from one well to another.
9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
a. Implementation. Implementation of this ground-water quality
assessment will include coordination through normal Army command channels.
Phase 1 sampling will be done by Sunflower AAP personnel, and Phase 1
chemical analysis will be performed by thts Agency. Phase 2,and Phase 3
work will be completed by contract through the Huntsville Division CE.

downgradient wells to be gathered in future semiannual monitoring show
significantly higher (or lower for pH) concentrations than first-year data
from upgradient wells. The comparison to identify significant concentration
differences will be made using statistical testing as required by regulation.
Data from first-year routine ground-water quality monitoring have shown no
direct evidence of ground-water contamination from the site.
5. DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL SETTING.
a. Physiography, Topography, and Surface Drainage. Sunflower AAP is
located on the 1)order between the Dissected Tilf Plains and the Osage Plains
sections of the Central Lowlands physiographic province. Maximum topographic
relief is approximately 180 feet from a low along Kill Creek in the north-
eastern corner to a high in the south-central portion of the installation.
Surface water drainage is to either Spoon and Kill Creeks in the east or
Captain Creek in the west f9r most of the installation (see Figure 2). These
creeks flow to the Kansas River, which is located 2 to 3 miles north of the
plant. Drainage for a small part of the northwest corner of Sunflower AAP is
northward to unnamed, intermittent streams which flow directly to the Kansas
River. The power house/IWT surface impoundments are within the Kill Creek
drainage basin.
b. Regional Geology.
(1) Sedimentary bedrock units of Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian,
Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian age overlie Precambrian rock in Johnson
County (reference 2). The Pennsylvanian age rocks which outcrop in the
county are of the Missourian and Virgilian Stages. The near-surface bedrock
units at Sunflower AAP, in ascending order, are the Wyandotte Limestone and
Bonner Springs Shale formations of the Kansas City Group; the Plattsburg
Limestone, Vilas Shale, and Stanton Limestone formations of the Lansing
Group; and the Stranger formation of the Douglas Group. General descriptions
of formation members and their average thickness at Sunflower AAP are
presented in Figure 3.
(2) Johnson County is located in a regional geologic structure
called the Prairie Plains monocline. The bedrock dips to the northwest at
approximately 15 to 20 feet per mile. In the vicinity of Sunflower AAP, a
gently undulating anticlinal/synclinal structure, striking north-north-
westerly, is superimposed on the regional structure (reference 3).
(3) Overlying the bedrock in Johnson County are unconsolidated
glacial, fluvial, lacustrine, and aeolian deposits of Pleistocene age. These
unconsolidated sediments are largely glacial till and undifferentiated
flu/ial and lacustrine deposits of the Kansan Stage. Recent alluvium along
the Kansas River and its tributaries are Wisconsinan and Recent in age. In
northwestern Johnson County, including the western portion of Sunflower AAP,

the basal part of the Kansan Stage deposits are commonly sand or sand and
gravel. This sand and gravel was deposited as glacial outwash and, possibly,
as lacustrine sediments in glacial lakes. Figure 4 is a geologic map of the
Sunflower AAP vicinity.
c. Regional Ground-water Hydrology.
(1) The principal unconsolidated sediment aquifers in Johnson County
are Kansas River valley alluvium and uhdifferentiated fluvial deposits in
tributary stream valleys. In addition to these Wisconsinan deposits, Kansan
fluvial and lacustrine deposits also" yield small quantities of water in some
locations. Wells in the Kansas River Valley alluvium can yield 1,000 gpm or
more. Wells in tributary valleys normally yield 1 to 10 gpm. However, wells
in some parts of the Captain and Cedar Creek valleys could probably yield
greater quantities because of sandy sediments (reference 2). On Sunflower
AAP, the Kansan deposits in the western portion of the installation would
yield quantities of water depending on the thickness of the sand or sand and
gravel layer and also the thickness of the saturated zone. Recharge of these
aquifers is through infiltration of local precipitation.
(2) The bedrock in Johnson County generally does not yield
significant quantities of usable water. In some localities, wells in the
Wyandotte Limestone and the Ireland Sandstone Member of the Lawrence
formation yield 10 to 40 gpm. The Lawrence formation overlies.the Stranger
formation in the Douglas Group; however, the Stranger formation is the most
recent bedrock strata identified in monitoring well borings at Sunflower AAP.
Certain black or very dark and fissile shales, including the Eudora Shale,
are capable of yielding up to 20 gpm of water that may be saline. Sandstone
beds in certain bedrock units, including the Rock Lake and Vilas Shales, may
also yield small quantities of water, generally less than 5 gpm. In addition
to the rock units mentioned, wells installed into the zone of weathering in
near-surface limestones and shales will yield small quantities of water
because of increased secondary permeability in this zone due to fractures,
joints, and bedding planes. Recharge of these shallow bedrock aquifers is by
infiltration of local precipitation through overlying unconsol idated
material.
(3) There are no water suprly wells on Sunflower AAP. The plant
water supply is obtained from wells located north of the installation in the
Kansas River Valley alluvium.
6. SITE DESCRIPTION.
a. The IWT surface impoundments are located east of Power House 154-1 in
the north-central portion of the Sunflower AAP (see Figure 5). The three
unlined impoundments are less than 2 acres in size and are located adjacent
to three larger impoundments which receive boiler ash from the power plant.
-------
Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0264-84, 12-15 Apr 83
Pond A, which receives neutralized acid wastes, is also located nearby. Pond
A and the ash lagoons are not RCRA-regulated units. However, the monitoring
well network at this site was designed to address all of these impoundments.
The IWT impoundments were constructed in 1979.
b. The IWT impoundments receive runoff from a paved coal storage yard
and boiler blowdown water from Power Houses 154-1 and 154-3. The boiler
blowdown water is slightly alkaline but is not a RCRA hazardous waste. The
coal-pile runoff water is a RCRA hazardous waste because of its low pH
(corrosive). The wastewater enters the first IWT impoundment via an
industrial sewer. The coal fines settle in this impoundment, and the pH is
raised to 2.5 or greater by adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The water is
then released manually to the second impoundment where NaOH addition raises
the pH to a range of 10.5 to 11.5. Pond aerators provide mixing and
dissolved oxygen for precipitation of iron. Suspended solids settle and the
water then flows into a third IWT impoundment where further settling occurs.
Flow from the third impoundment is by overflow or manual release to a final
treatment facility where any necessary final pH adjustment is made before
discharge. A carbon dioxide system is used for pH adjustment of alkaline
wastewater in the IWT impoundments. The water flows into Pond B after
discharge from the IWT system.
c. The topographic slope at the IWT impoundments is eastward, with
surface water drainage and discharge from the impoundments (all impoundments
and Pond A) flowing to Pond 8, located 2,000 ft to the east. Overflow from
Pond 8 is to Kill Creek, located another 2,500 ft eastward (see Figure 6). A
total of 11 ground-water monitoring wells are located around the IWT
impoundments, ash impoundments, and Pond A (see Figure 7).
d. The IWT impoundments are located on the anticline ridge of the local
anticlinal/synclinal structure which strikes in a northwesterly direction
(see Figure 8). The bedrock surface slopes generally eastward in this
vicinity, with slope at the IWT impoundment site being toward the southeast
(see Figure 9). The uppermost bedrock units are the Vilas Shale and the
Spring Hill Limestone. The unconsolidated overburden is generally 10 ft or
less in thickness and consists of clays. Exceptions are the sites of
upgradient wells MW41 and MW42, where a thicker overburden occurs, with sand
as the basal portion overlying bedrock (see boring logs, Appendix C). Prior
to construction of the impoundments, several undisturbed samples of the clay
overburden were obtained, and laboratory permeability tests were run with
results indicating permeability of 10-° to 10~4 cm/sec.
e. Monitoring wells were generally constructed with screens from near
the bedrock surface to the Banner Springs Shale or the Farley Member of the
Wyandotte Limestone. Monitoring wells MW41 and MW42 were screened through
both bedrock and the overlying sand; MW41 was screened over a shorter
interval than other wells and extended only 5 ft into bedrock. The wells

ranged from 36.3 ft (MW41) to 69.0 ft (MW43) in depth, with screen lengths
ranging from 27 to 63 ft. The wells were constructed as described in
paragraph 6a(4) (see well installation drawings, Appendix C). Monitoring"
wells MW43, MW45, MW47, and MW55 produce very little water and can be pumped
dry with a low-volume sampling pump of the bladder type. These four wells
recharge very slowly and do not recover completely during a 24-hour period
following pumping. Other wells yield greater amounts of water. Figure 10 is
a contour map of the piezometric surface. As discussed previously, the
measurements will represent a composite head for permeable strata because of
well design. The contour map indicates ground-water flow generally toward
the east.
7. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS DATA.
a. Ground-water samples have been collected from the monitoring wells
and analyzed for parameters specified by regulations (reference 1). The
sampling frequency was quarterly during the first year of monitoring to
establish baseline data. The parameters specified by regulation include
NIPOWR parameters; indicators of ground-water quality, including iron,
manganese, sodium, chloride, phenol, and sulfate; and indicators of ground-
water contamination including pH, specific conductance, TOC, and TOX. The
analytical results are tabulated in Appendix 0. First-quarter analytical
work was performed by Wilson Laboratories and second through fourth-quarter
analyses were performed by Century Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc.
b. First-year ground-water quality data for the 11 wells in this area
show that NIPOWR standards were exceeded only for fluoride (two samples from
MW46 and one sample from MW55) and nitrate/nitrite as N (one sample from MW41
and three samples from MW44). Monitoring well MW41 is an upgradient well and
MW44, MW46, and MW55 are north of Pond A and not near the IWT impoundments..
The best indicator parameters from among those measured would be pH, specific
conductance, sulfate, and metals. Heavy metals were generally not detected,
and when they were, only trace levels were found. Specific conductance
ranged from approximately 500 to 1,500 umhos/cm, with samples from upgradient
welts MW41 and MW42 being among those with the highest levels. Sulfate was
elevated somewhat in samples from well MW50 and upgradient wells MW41 and
MW42. Monitoring well MW50 is constructed at a site with several feet of
coal fill above the natural ground surface, MW42 is adjacent to the coal pile
which was previously unpaved, and MW41 is downgradient of the coal pile area.
Monitoring well MW49, adjacent to and downgradient from the IWT impoundments,
showed no evidence of ground-water contamination.

Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0264-84, 12-15 Apr 83
8. PLAN OF ACTION.
a. Phase 1.
(1)' General. This ground-water quality assessment plan will be
implemented when a significant increase (or pH decrease) is detected between
first-year upgradient well data and current data for a downgradient well for
an indicator parameter and results have been confirmed by resampling and
analysis. Significant difference is defined as rejection of the hypothesis
that the means of the two data sets are equal when the Student's t-test at
the 0.01 level of significance is used. The first step of the assessment
will be the analysis of ground-water samples from existing wells to determine
if hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents are present in the ground
water. If hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents are not detected,
the assessment will proceed no further. However, if ground-water
contamination is detected, additional work will be performed to determine the
extent, rate of movement, and concentration of contaminants in the ground
water. This additional work (Phase 2) is described in paragraph 8b.
Sampling and sample preparation procedures specified in Appendix E will be
employed during this assessment.
%
(2) The RCRA hazardous waste material entering the IWT impoundments
is coal-pile runoff. The characteristics and constituents of this waste
include low pH, high specific conductance, and elevated levels of sulfate and
metals. To determine if hazardous waste constituents are contaminating the
ground water, samples from existing wells will be analyzed for sulfate,
arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver. The
analytical methods of either reference 4 or 5 will be used.
(3) Those analyses performed by the USAEHA will be accomplished
using appropriate quality assurance procedures. These procedures include
analyses of standards, duplicates, spikes, and blanks. In addition, blind QC
samples and EPA or commercial reference standards will be analyzed to further
ensure quality of analytical results. Procedures will also be employed for
sample control and data management in the laboratory. When analytical work
is performed by a contract laboratory, the laboratory will be required to
comply with the quality assurance procedures outlined in reference 6.
(4) Specific conductance and pH will be useful as indicators of
possible ground-water contamination at this site. The hazardous waste
constituents will not be detectable by the indicator parameters TOC and TOX.
b. Phase 2.
(1) General. If Phase 1 work described in paragraph 8a determines
that hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents have entered the ground
water, additional work (Phase 2) will be performed to determine the extent,
16
-------
Ground-water Quality Assessment Plan No. 38-26-0264-84, 12-15 Apr 83
rate of movement, and concentration of contaminants in the ground water.
This additional work will involve drilling additional monitoring wells,
performing aquifer tests, and anal-yzing water samples to determine
contaminant concentrations.
(2) Initially, monitoring wells will be installed at six locations
near the IWT impoundments (see Figure 11). At these locations, a well will
be drilled to the Farley Member of the Wyandotte Limestone and will be cased
to bedrock. In addition, a shallow monitoring well will be installed in the
overburden material at each of these six sites, except where the overburden
consists only of low permeability clays. These shallow wells will be
screened from the water table to bedrock. Borings for existing monitoring
wells have shown sands only at sites MW41 and MW42. The borings at lower
elevations east and downgradient of the IWT impoundments showed the
overburden to consist only of clays.
(3) Soil samples will be taken at intervals of not more than 5 ft in
the overburden. Selected samples will be tested, with tests to include
laboratory permeability, grain size distribution, Atterburg -limits, moisture
content, density, and porosity.
\
(4) After completion, the bedrock wells will be pumped until clear
water is produced, and the maximum yield of each will be determined. The
wells are expected to have very small yields. If any wells are found to have
a yield of greater than 10 gpm, a pneumatic packer-pump unit will be used to
identify higher yield strata and the yield of each.
(5) Piezometric measurements will be obtained for each well. 'For
any higher yield bedrock wells, measurements will be obtained for separate
strata.
(6) Rising or falling head aquifer tests will be performed for each
bedrock well to obtain estimates of hydraulic conductivity. These will be
used along with hydraulic gradient information and estimates of porosity to
arrive at a range of possible ground-water flow velocities.
(7) Aquifer tests will not be performed for any shallow overburden
wells unless they are found to lie in a downgradient direction and the water
samples obtained from them show ground-water contamination. If such tests
are determined to be necessary, pump tests or rising or falling head tests
will be performed as appropriate for the situation.
(8) Water samples will be obtained from existing and newly
constructed wells. S^iples will be analyzed for the contaminants identified
during Phase 1 of the study. Any bedrock wells found to produce contaminated
water will be resampled using a pneumatic packer or packer-pump unit to
obtain information concerning depth of contamination (if well yields are
adequate).

c. Phase 3. When the Phase 2 work described above is completed,
additional wells will be installed as appropriate to determine the extent of
ground-water contamination. The location, depth, and number of these wells
will depend upon results obtained from the initial work. Better estimates of
ground-water contaminant flow rate may be possible based upon actual
observations of contaminant extent and flow times. However, defining
ground-water contamination from the IWT impoundments is likely to be
complicated by other possible sources such as the adjacent ash impoundments
and the coal pile, itself, which was unlined prior to the late 1970's.
d. Drilling and Well Installation.
(1) Drilling Method. The drilling of shallow wells to be screened
in the overburden material will be by use of cable tool or hollow-stem auger
techniques. Borings into bedrock will be accomplished using rotary
techniques with only water as a drilling fluid.
(2) Well Specifications. The well casing for shallow overburden
wells will be 4-inch-ID PVC pipe with threaded joints. The well screen will
be preslotted PVC pipe with a slot size of 0.035 inch. A uniform and
complete filling of the annular space with sandpack, bentonite pellets, and
grout should be achieved. The sand will be clean, texturally larger than the
slot size of the screen, and fill the annular space to approximately 3 ft
above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal will be installed above the
sandpack. The seal should be 2 ft of tamped bentonite-water mixture
(bentonite pellets should be used because bentonite power will bridge the
annular space as soon as it contacts moisture.) Then a grout mixture of
premixed cement, 3-percent bentonite power, and water should be pumped into
the annular space from the top of the bentonite seal to the ground surface.
(3) Well Protection. Each well will be covered with a vented cap.
A protective casing, a section of steel pipe larger in diameter than the PVC
casing, should be placed into the cement grout. It should be fitted with a
hinged cap with lock.
(4) Survey of Wells. Each well will be located with reference to
vertical and horizontal control by survey methods.
(5) Well Development. Each well will be fully developed as soon as
practical after installation but no sooner than 48 hours following the
placement of the cement grout. Development will be accomplished with a surge
block and a bailer until the water removed from the well is clear. As a
minimum, each well should have five volumes of water pumped or bailed as part
of devn'jpment. The development equipment will be washed with clean water
before each use to prevent cross contamination from one well to another.

I. PURPOSE. This document is written to provide guidance to personnel at US
Army installations who will be sampling ground-water monitoring wells. It
has been prepared primarily to assist those installations which are being
provided support by the US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA) in
meeting monitoring requirements at sanitary landfills and hazardous waste
landfills and surface impoundments.
II. GENERAL. Sections III through VI and Section VIII of this document
provide instructions on collection and preparation of samples and data
reporting. Section VII provides information on chemical analysis methods.
The contents of this document may be used by installations monitoring
hazardous waste landfills and surface impoundments to prepare the Sampling
and Analysis Plan required by regulation (40 CFR 265,92).
Questions concerning these instructions or sampling and sample preparation
should be referred to Mr. Gary Nemeth, Geotechnical Engineering Services
Branch, Waste Disposal Engineering Division, this Agency, AV 584-2024 or
(301) 671-2024.
III. SAMPLE CONTAINERS. The USAEHA will provide all sample containers to be
used for shipment of samples. The only sample containers to be provided by
the installation are the 1-gallon plastic jugs to be used to hold the samples
prior to filtering. The number of sample containers needed for each well
sample will depend on the number of parameters and filtering and preservation
requirements. Inclosure 1 identifies the parameters and the eight separate
containers which will be used when samples are taken from hazardous waste
site monitoring wells. Inclosure 2 lists containers which will normally be
provided for parameter groups which may be required at sanitary landfills or
at hazardous waste sites with special parameter requirements. Only
containers provided by USAEHA should be used. These containers will be
properly cleaned and prelabeled with installation name, site identification,
parameters and preservation information. The containers will normally be
shipped by USAEHA with all those required for sampling one well in one box.
The boxes should be kept by the installation because some will be'used as
shipping boxes for samples. Under some circumstances containers of a
different size than those shown in Inclosures 1 and 2 will be used. These
substitutions will be made because volume requirements will depend upon the
number of parameters to be measured.
IV. SAMPLING AND FIELD OBSERVATIONS.
A- Water Level Measurement. Prior to sampling a well the water level
must be measured and recorded on the field data log sheet. When the field
crew visits the well they should have information available concerning well
depth, depth to top of screen, and screen length. Water levels are most
commonly measured with a clean steel tape. The tape should be "owered into
the well until the end is a couple feet below the water surface. The wetted
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
length is measured when the tape is removed; and this measurement is
subtracted from the length lowered into the well. This depth to water from
the top of casing should be recorded. The length of casing above the ground
surface should then be subtracted to obtain the desired value of depth to
water from ground surface. The same value for length of casing above ground
should be used each time water level is measured in the well, unless the
casing length is modified. The depth measurements should be to the nearest
tenth of a foot. If the portion of the tape which has been wetted is
difficult to determine, chalk may be placed on the tape to make reading
easier. Inks should not be used on the tape. If the tape must be weighted,
a material such as stainless steel should be used. An electric water level
probe may be used instead of a steel tape. Its advantages are convenience
and not having to know prior to measurement the approximate depth to water.
If the well is found to be dry, this should be noted on the log sheet. If
the depth to water is found to be below the bottom of the screened interval,
the well should also be considered dry and not sampled. This situation may
occur in wells where the bottom portion of the well is not screened and holds
water after water table levels drop below the screened interval. The steel
tape, or electric probe, should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh tap water or
distilled water prior to use in another well. A tape or probe which has been
in contact with soil at the well site should not be lowered into a well until
it has been rinsed clean. If contamination by oil or grease is evident,
soapy water or acetone should be used for cleaning, followed by tap water
rinsing.
8. Well Purging. All monitoring wells must be pumped or bailed prior to
sampling to insure that samples are representative of the ground water and do
not contain water which has been standing in the casing. For this monitoring
program at least five volumes of water in the well casing should be removed.
However, for a low yield well which does not quickly recharge as it is
pumped, the well should be pumped or bailed dry and the sample then obtained
as soon as the well recharges. When calculating the amount of water which
must be purged, subtract depth to water (from ground surface) from the total
depth of the well and then multiply by 0.16 for a 2-inch well, 0.37 for a
3-inch well, or 0.65 for a 4-inch well to obtain the volume of standing water
in the well. The amount pumped prior to sampling should be recorded on the
field data log sheet (Inclosures 3 and 4). The depth at which the pump
should be set when purging a well will depend upon well construction details,
water depth in the well, and well recharge rate. For a well which does not
recharge as it is pumped, the pump intake should be as deep as possible in
the well, but not so deep as to pick up the sediment which has accumulated in
the well bottom. In wells which recharge as they are pumped, the pump intake
should be about 5 feet below the surface of the water in the well. The pump
will have to be lowered if the water level in the well drops during pumping.
Pumping in this manner will insure that the water which has been standing in
the well will be efficiently removed and a representative sample taken. The
only exception to these pumping depth instructions will be those few
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpnt of Samples
situations where the monitoring wells have more than one screened interval or
a sediment trap.1 When a well contains a sediment trap the final portion of
purged water should be pumped from within the sediment trap section (do not
lower pump into sediment in the bottom of the trap). When a wel1 is
constructed with more than one screen, the purged water should be pumped from
the unscreened sections, beginning with the uppermost. Manufacturer's
literature should be consulted to obtain specific instructions concerning the
operation of sampling pumps. Questions may also be referred to the
Geotechnical Engineering Services Branch, Waste Disposal Engineering
Division, US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, AUTOVON 584-2024. When
pumping or sampling a well great care must be exercised to insure that
contaminants are not introduced into the well or a sample. A sampler or
sample tubing, or a bailer or bailer cable must not be allowed to contact the
ground or a dirty surface in a vehicle or sampling equipment box. Plastic
sheeting may be used to rest hoses, lines, and samplers upon. New sheeting
should be used for each well sampled. Sampling equipment must be thoroughly
cleaned before it is placed in its storage case. In those situations when
there is windblown dust at the sampling site, it will be impossible to obtain
a good sample. Sampling should be postponed until a more favorable time.
C. Sampling.
1. The sample containers in which unfiltered water is to be shipped
should be filled first (see Inclosures 1 and 2). .These containers should be
rinsed several times with a small amount of water pumped from the well prior
to filling (except for samples for grease and oil analysis). All of these
containers (except grease and oil) must be filled to overflowing so that no
headspace remains. Samples should be protected from light and kept cool from
the time they are collected. Sample container labels should be completed
using a waterproof pen before they are filled when the container is dry. The
portion of the sample which must be filtered should be collected in
polyethylene gallon bottles. For hazardous waste site wells monitored during
1981 and 1982 two of these gallon containers should be filled. The number
required at sanitary landfill wells depends upon the parameters (see
Inclosure 2). These containers should also be rinsed and filled to
overflowing. Containers should be labeled with a waterproof pen. Sample
containers should be filled in a manner which does not agitate or aerate the
sample. This is important to prevent loss of volatile contaminants, and to
prevent chemistry changes due to either COg loss with pH increase or
oxygenation of the sample. Containers are filled to overflowing for the same
reasons. Some wells which do not recharge while they are pumped may not

-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shptnt of Samples
produce enough sample at one time. This situation will occur most frequently
for hazardous waste site wells because more sample is required than at most
sanitary landfills. The needed water should be obtained as soon as the well
recharges.
2. Samples should be taken to the place where they will be filtered and
preserved as soon as possible after sampling; and definitely within an hour
or two.
3. Sampling equipment must be thoroughly cleaned between sampling at
each well. This may normally be accomplished by rinsing thoroughly with tap
water. At least 2-3 gallons of water should be pumped through the tubing and
pump with each rinsing. If a bailer is used, it should be rinsed three times
with tap water and then rinsed three times with distilled water. In those
cases where a sampler becomes contaminated by pumping oily or greasy water,
it should be rinsed first with soapy water and then rinsed thoroughly with
clean water. It may be necessary to disassemble a pump to effectively clean
it of oil and grease. Acetone rinsing is an effective method of removing oil
and grease contamination, but should not be used unless it is certain that
the materials used to construct the pump or bailer will not be affected. The
USAEHA will advise an installation when special solvent cleaning of sampling
equipment is considered necessary.
4. Deviations from the procedures specified above should be noted on the
field data log sheet. Observations concerning the condition of the well,
odor and color of the water should also be noted. Note if the well was found
uncapped and also note the condition of the grout seal around the well.
0. Sampling Schedule and Sequence. Because of shipping and laboratory
restrictions, all sampling and shipment of samples must be accomplished on
either a Monday or Tuesday of the week. Those installations with many sites
to be monitored may have to conduct sampling over a period of several weeks.
However, all wells at each site to be monitored must be sampled the same day.
When sampling wells at a site, the upgradient (and presumably uncontarninated)
well or wells should be sampled first followed by the downgradient wells (or .
wells potentially contaminated).
V. SAMPLE PREPARATION.
A. Work Area Requirements. The work area, preferably a laboratory, must
be cleaned and must be an area where there has not been any large-scale
chemical usage. Pesticide mix areas or areas used to handle explosives are
not acceptable. Specific requirements for the work area include:
1. 110-volt electricity,
2. minimum of 10 linear feet of working bench space,
-------
Instr for Collection;, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
3. complete sample filtration system,
4. pH meter with accessories (if pH measurement required),
5. distilled water,
6. cleaning supplies including nitric acid and acetone,
7. chemical preservative ampules (provided by USAEHA), and
8. Sample kits containing appropriate containers (provided by USAEHA).
B. Sample Storage. Samples should be placed in a cool, dark place
(preferably a refrigerator) until ready for shipment. Those containers
filled in the field should be placed into such storage as soon as they are
brought to the work area. The polyethylene gallon containers should also be
kept in cool and dark storage when not being used. When containers are
received from sample collectors they should be checked for proper labeling.
C. pH Measurement. The sample pH should be measured as soon as possible
after the sample is taken. When a sample is exposed to the air the pH level
may change. This change is primarily due to loss of dissolved C02 from the
sample. A pH measurement taken at the work area soon after the sample is
taken will normally be more accurate than a field measurement as long as a
significant pH change has not occurred. Visible evidence of precipitate
forming in the sample between the time of sample collection and the time of
pH measurenent at the work area would indicate that the pH has changed and
that an accurate measurement would have to be taken in the field as soon as
the sample is taken. To be sure that accurate measurements are being
obtained, it is recommended that pH measurements also be taken in the field
with a portable meter during the initial sampling periods. For those sites
where pH is not a required parameter (some sanitary landfills), it is
recommended that pH be measured if an installation has a meter. For
hazardous waste sites, pH measurement of four portions of the same sample are
required. Sanitary landfill samples will only require one measurement. The
following instructions should be followed when measuring pH.
1. Initially calibrate the pH meter in accordance with the
manufacturers' specifications. The internal filling solution should cover
the internal reference element in the combination electrode.
2. Standardize the meter with two buffer solutions, either pH 4.00 and
7.00, or 7.00 and 9.00. If samples are expected to be acidic, the lower
range should be used. The buffer solutions should be placed into 150-ml
beakers for measurement, and enough should be used so that the electrode is
submerged at least 1 inch. The buffer and sample temperatures should be
nearly the same when r-.iSurements are made. Ground water temperatures are
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
normally about 10°C. Therefore, the buffer solutions should be cooled to
approximataly this temperature before use. If pH measurements of the buffer
solutions do not agree with the known values, either some instrument
adjustment is necessary, or the buffer solution is contaminated and should be
replaced. In this situation, follow the instructions in the instrument
manual. When making measurements on samples or buffer solutions, the liquid
in the beaker should be stirred slightly using a magnetic stirrer and
stirring bar.
3. Pour a portion of the unfiltered sample from the gallon polyethylene
jug into a clean 150-mL beaker. Measure and record the temperature on the
field data logsheet. Adjust the temperature compensation setting on the
meter to the temperature of the sample in accordance with the instrument
manual. Measure and record the pH. The measurenent should be to the nearest
0.1 pM unit. For hazardous waste sites, portions of the sample should be
placed into four beakers and measurements recorded for each. If any of the
four replicate measurements differ from the others by more than 0.3 pH units,
perform the measurements again using new sample portions in different
beakers. If pH measurements are made in the field, stirring with a magnetic
stirrer and cooling the buffer solutions will not be practical and the meter
may not be adjustable for temperature. Simply standardize the meter using
the buffer solutions, measure and record sample temperature and pH.
4. Rinse the electrode with distilled water from a squeeze bottle every
time the electrode is removed from the solution and blot dry before dipping
into the next solution. After an oily sample is measured, rinse the
electrode with acetone from a squeeze bottle and then rinse with distilled
water.
5. Known and unknown control samples will be periodically sent by USAtHA
to the installation for pH measurement. Measure a known control sample after
every 20 sample measurenents, or more often, and note results on the reverse
side of the field data logsheet upon which the previous sample pH measurement
was recorded. If the measured value is not within 10 percent of the known
value, an instrument buffer or contamination problem is likely. This problem
must be resolved before any further pH measurements are taken. Also repeat
all sample measurenents back to the last control sample or since the last
standardization measurement. Unknown control samples should be measured when
they "are received and results reported to USAEHA.
6. Cleaning of beakers prior to use should be performed in accordance
with instructions in Section J.F.
D. Filtering. Filtering may be performed by any one of three
procedures. The first one being described is the most common type utilizing
a standard vacuum pump and an all glass system. It consists of the pump,
1-liter filtering flask, ground glass base, 300-ml funnel, spring clamp,
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
forcep, prefilters, and membrane filters. The order for assembling the
filtering system is as indicated below:
1. The tubulated ground glass base is fitted over the 1-liter flask.
2. A membrane filter is carefully placed over the fritted glass area of
the base and then overlaid by a prefilter. The prefilter and membrane filter
shall be handled with forceps.
3. The funnel is placed on top of the prefilter and fastened to the base
by the spring clamp.
4. Vacuum tubing is connected from the vacuum pump to the side arm
nipple of the base.
5. The pump is turned on and sample is gently poured into the funnel.
The filtration rate is dependent on the nature of the sample. It may be
necessary to replace the filters if they are fairly well clogged or if the
filtration rate is extremely slow. If this is done, great care must be
exercised so as not to contaminate the sample and not allow any suspended
matter to enter the already filtered portion.
The second filtration procedure which may be used is performed with the
"Millipore Hazardous Waste Filtration System." It uses compressed nitrogen
instead of a vacuum pump. Large volumes can be filtered in a relatively
short time period with this system. If this system is purchased, a detailed
manual will be provided by the company. If, however, problems arise with the
system, USAEHA will assist in resolving them. This system also uses the
membrane filters and prefilters, only they are much larger than those with
the vacuum system because of.the larger filtration surface area. The third
filtration procedure is also based on compressing a liquid sample through a
membrane filter using nitrogen gas. Also with this procedure large volumes
can be filtered in a relatively short time period. The procedure is known as
the Barrel Pressure Filtering Apparatus and is manufactured by Leonard Mold
and Die Works. The instructions are fairly simple and are inclosed with the
purchased equipment. The USAEHA will assist if any problems develop with the
equipment. The membrane filters must be soaked in distilled water for 24
hours prior to using. They should also be handled only with the purchased
forceps, never with one's fingers. Care must be exercised when handling the
membrane filter to avoid making any tears or pin holes. Before a sample
bottle is filled with a filtered sample, it should be rinsed once with a
small amount of the filtered sample and then that portion discarded. Sample
bottles should not be rinsed or cleaned in any other manner because they will
have been appropriately cleaned by USAEHA prior to shipment. Snaller
containers should be filled before the large 1-gallon cubitaner for
radiochemistry parameters. All containers should be filled to nearly full,
but not overflowing because perservative must be added to some. The samples
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
for each site being monitored should be filtered beginning with the
upgradient well(s) to minimize the possibility of cross contamination
problems. The filtering apparatus should be cleaned between samples as
instructed in Section ^.F.
E. Sample Preservation.
1. The sample should be preserved with the chemicals listed in
Inclosures 1 and 2. The acid ampules and sodium hydroxide tablets will be
provided by USAEHA as required.
2. Care must be exercised when breaking and emptying the ampules so as
to minimize contamination and alleviate chemical spillage on the sampler's
hands and clothes. Disposable gloves shall be worn to help protect the
hands. It is imperative that no mixup among the chemical ampules occurs and
that they are separated from each other when being opened. The broken
ampules must be properly discarded. Ampules will be color coded for
identification.
3. Sample preservation requirements will also be stated on the container
labels to minimize error. The chemical preservative, filtering and cooling
requirements will be identified on the appropriate container labels. All
containers, including those to which preservative has not been added, should
be checked to insure that they have been dated and initialed. The dates
placed on the containers and field data log sheets must be Julian dates
consisting of five digits. These can be taken from many calenders. The
Julian date consists of two digits to identify the year and three digits to
identify the day of the year. Example: 81292 is the Julian date for 19 Oct
81.
4. The time from sampling until filtering and preservation is complete
must be kept as short as possible. If the sampling rate is faster than
samples can be filtered and preserved, sampling should be paced so that
samples do not set more than an hour awaiting preparation.
5. If many wells are to be sampled, it will probably be best to have two
persons taking samples and two persons preparing samples simultaneously. If
only a few wells are to be sampled, two persons could take the samples and
then return to the work area and prepare them.
F. Glassware and Equipment Cleaning.
1. Proper cleaning of glassware and equipment is essential to obtaining
accurate ground-water quality analytical results. Beakers and the filtration
system must be rinsed thoroughly with tap water and then rinsed three times
with distilled water between each sample. If any glassware or equipment
becomes coated with an oily residue it should be rinsed with acetone usHg a
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
500-ml squeeze bottle and then washed thoroughly with hot detergent water
prior to the tap water and distilled water rinsings. It is imperative that
no acetone or detergent remain on the apparatus after the water rinsings.
2. In addition to the above rinsings, all parts of the filtration system
(except prefilters and membrane filters) shall be rinsed with a 50 percent
nitric acid solution between samples from different facilities. If only one
facility is being monitored, the acid rinse should precede the first sample.
After the 50 percent nitric acid rinsing, the apparatus must be thoroughly
rinsed with tap water and then rinsed three times with distilled water. All
traces of the nitric acid must be removed. The 50 percent nitric acid
solution (nitric acid mixed with distilled water on a one to one basis)
should be made up in the rigid, leakproof, 1-gallon size, polyproplene jug
purchased by the installation. The disposable rubber gloves should be worn
when making up this solution. First fill the jug half-way with distilled
water. To it, carefully add concentrated nitric acid to near the top. Cap
and mix gently.The solution will become hot, but the jug will withstand the
thermal shock. This solution should be labeled and protected from all
sampling bottles. Rubber gloves should also be worn when rinsing the
filtering system.
3. More frequent 50 percent nitric acid solution rinsings are not
desired because they are time consuming and because of the risk of acid
residue affecting nitrate analysis results. In some situations USAEMA may
direct that the acid rinsing be performed between all samples (such as for
sites with heavy metal ground-water contamination).
4. These instructions do not include procedures to be used to protect
against cross contamination with organic compounds because these sample
portions are not going to be filtered (pesticides, herbicides, total organic
halogen). In those special cases where samples for organlcs analysis will be
filtered, special cleaning instructions will be provided by USAEHA. This
cleaning will normally involve cleaning with acetone or other organic
solvents.
VI. SAMPLE SHIPMENT.
A. Packaging. All glass sample containers must be enclosed in their
styrofoam packing and this packing wrapped with tape. Insulated coolers must
be used as shipping containers for those sample portions which must be kept
cool (see Inclosures 1 and 2). To maintain a low temperature during
shipping, several reuseable ice packs should be placed in the cooler with the
samples. Those sample portions which do not require cooling (metals and
radiochemistry parameters) may be shipped to the lab in the cardboard
shipping containers used to ship the containers to the Installation. Those
installations with only a few wells and no radiochemistry analysis
requiranents may find it as convenient and no more costly to ship all sample
containers in the coolers.
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
B. Shipping Times.
1. Those sample portions which must be kept cool shall normally be
shipped such that they are delivered to the laboratory within 2 days of
shipment. The exception is those few sample portions which have parameters
with very short holding .times. These must be shipped so that they are
delivered to the laboratory within 24 hours and are identified in Inclosure
2. The routine hazardous waste site monitoring does not require 24 hour
shipping. However, such shipping may be required if analysis for special
parameters is required or if 2 day shipping is found to be unsatisfactory for
some parameter. The cardboard shipping containers with metals and
radiochemistry analysis samples may be shipped in any manner which will
insure delivery within 7 days. If any samples arrive at the laboratory late
and holding times can not be met, the samples will be discarded and the
installation instructed to resample. If these instructions are followed,
holding times specified in 40 CFR Part 136, 18 Decanber 1979 Federal
Register, pages 75028-75052, will be complied with.
2. All samples taken during any one day and which require cool ing must
be prepared, packaged, and shipped the same day. The metals and
radiochemistry samples may be shipped the following day if it is more
convenient. Because of laboratory scheduling restrictions, all samples
shipped in coolers must arrive not later than Thursday. This means that
coolers must be shipped on Monday or Tuesday, or Wednesday if 24-hour
shipping is used. If samples arrive at the laboratory on a Friday or
Saturday, and analysis can not be performed soon enough to meet holding
times, the samples will be discarded and resampling will be necessary.
3. The cost for shipping of samples to the laboratory and for return
shipment of empty coolers with the reuseable ice packs must be paid by the
installation. Paperwork for return shipment must be inclosed in the coolers
when they are shipped to the laboratory. Because there are no time
restrictions, the return of coolers by expensive "special" shipment 1s not
necessary.
4. During the first year of this monitoring program, most analyses will •
be performed by Century Environmental Testing Laboratories, Thorofare, NJ
(near Camden). Shipping to that laboratory should be considered when
preparing shipping cost estimates.
C. Chain of Custody Control. Regulations require that sample chain of
custody records be maintained. Inclosure 5 is the record form which will be
used and Inclosure 6 1s a sample of a completed form. Four copies (Including
original) of the form must be completed for each shipping container. Either
carbon paper or a copier machine may be used. One copy should be held while
the original and two copies are enclosed in the shipping container with the
samples. The forms should be placed in a plastic pr ^ctor to keep them from
10
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
getting wet. When the laboratory custodian receives the samples, that
individual will sign all copies of the form. The original will be returned
to the installation where it must be held on file. A second copy will be
sent to Commander, US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, ATTN: HSE-ES-S/Gary
Nemeth, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010. The remaining copy will be held
by the laboratory custodian.
VII. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS.
A. Analytical Procedures. The analytical procedures to be employed
during this monitoring program are listed in Inclosure 7. The methods of
analysis for specific hazardous wastes will be identified as necessary in
assessment plans prepared by USAEHA.
8. Quality Control. A quality control program will be strictly followed
by the laboratory to insure the validity of all results. The USAEHA will
maintain quality control data records.
C. Bacterial Analysis. Colifonn bacteria analysis will be performed
onsite by US Army Health Services Command medical activities or centers. The
MEDOACs/MEDCENs will attempt to schedule their visit such that they are
onsite when sampling for other parameters is performed. Sampling equipment
must be made available for their use.
VIII. SCHEDULING AND DATA REPORTING.
A. Scheduling. To insure a reasonably uniform flow of samples into the
laboratory, USAEHA will schedule sampling by installations. This schedule
will be established in coordination with installation personnel, and there
will be some flexibility to meet installation specific requirements.
Approximately 3-4 weeks prior to sampling, USAEHA will fonnally notify the
installation environmental coordinator of the scheduled sampling by mailing a
listing similar to Inclosure 8. This listing will identify the Installation,
the facilities to be monitored, the wells to be sampled, the analytical
parameters, the installation address, the laboratory address to which samples
are to be shipped and the USAEHA address to which log sheets are to be sent.
The parameters listed on the notification will be grouped by common sample
container. Sample containers will be shipped to the Installation
environmental coordinator about 2-3 weeks prior to the scheduled sampling
date. The scheduled date will always be a Monday or a Tuesday and will
identify the week when samples are to be taken. If is necessary for the
installation to postpone sampling, telephone notification should be given to
Mr. Gary Nemeth, AV 584-2024, USAEHA. Similarly, USAEHA will notify the
installation 1f laboratory scheduling problems require postponement of
sampling.
11
-------
Instr for Collection, Prep and Shpmt of Samples
B. Field Data Log Sheets. Notify USAEHA of sample shipment the day
following shipment. Copies of field data log sheets should also bs rcaiU
USAEHA immediately after shipment of samples. USAEHA will provide blank
chain of custody forms and field data logsheets.
C. Data Reporting. The USAEHA will mail a tabulation of chemical
analysis results, with interpretation, to the major command and installation
1-2 weeks after receipt of raw data from the laboratory. With an expected
laboratory turn-around time of 4 weeks, data will normally be received by the
major command/installation about 7 weeks after sampling. If the data
indicates a serious problem requiring some type of action by the
installation, or if an assessment is required, the major command and
installation will be notified telephonically. Installation personnel are
responsible for reporting data to regulatory authorities. In many situations
a copy of the data tabulation provided by USAEHA may be forwarded to meet
requirements. However, some states have developed special forms for data
reporting.
0. Resampling. Resampling may be necessary for a variety of reasons.
Resampling will normally be directed by USAEHA through telephone contact with
the installation's environmental coordinator. In those situations where
resampling is desired because of indicated ground-water contamination
problems the major command will also be notified.

OF SAMPLES
US ARMY ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE AGENCY
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MD
APRIL 1982
-------
Paragraph Y.E.
6. Ground-water samples requiring analysis for any or all of the following
explosives: 2,'l,6-TNT1 2,^-DNT, 2,6-DNT, RDX, HMX, and Tetryl should be filtered
(O.^S micron membrane filter) and then transferred to a clean 16-ounce glass
bottle (narrow neck w/teflon-1ined cap enclosed in a styrofoam pack). After
transferring the sample to the bottle, add 10$ sulfuric acid (H2SO.) drop-wise
to obtain a sample pH of k~5. If the sample already has a pH In the 3~6 range,
don't add any acid to It. A commercial pH paper roll having an expanded scale
range from about pH 3 to 7 can be used for this measurement. It is Inoperative
not to overacidify the sample. The H-SO, should be prepared from a reagent grade
or "more pure" grade concentrated H-SO,; a 10$ concentration is achieved by adding
10 parts H-SO, to 90 parts distilled or deionized water. In most cases, a full
bottle of sample is not necessary. If difficulty results in obtaining a fairly
full bottle, 100-200 milliliters of sample will be sufficient for explosive analyst
7. Ground-water samples requiring analysis for volatile organic compounds, whether
they are halogenated organics or purgeable non-halogenated aromatic or aliphatic
compounds, must be collected in the specially designed and cleaned kO ml glass vial
equipped with a teflon-faced sillcone septum and screw cap. These samples must be
collected right at the sampling well immediately after extracting the samples from
the well. Special care must be taken to insure completely filled vials, so that no
bubbles or head space occurs. Also, the teflon-lined side of the septum must
face the sample. It is imperative that these vials not be used for any other
purpose, and if a vial is accidently soiled, it should not be used. A sample
blank vial containing the installation's organic free water should accompany every
batch of volatile organic samples.
8. The filled sample containers for explosives, volatile organics, pesticides/
herbicides, and any other samples for organics analysis must be kept cold and pro-
tected from 1i ght.
Paragraph T.F.
5. The filtering apparatus used for filtering samples for the explosive parameters
should be rinsed with reagent grade acetone or equivalent and then thoroughly rinse-
with distilled or deionized water between each sample filtering. It is important
that no acetone be left on the apparatus as it may come in contact with the membram
filter and dissolve it.
Paragraph II.8.
5. San,pies for explosives or volatile organics analysis must be shipped as soon as
possible after sampling (within 2^ hours) and a 2*» hour delivery service must be

Subject: Calendar Year 1981 and 1982 Hazardous Waste Annual Reports
Reference: Memorandum of December 20, 1982, from John Paul Goetz, Chief
Hazardous Waste Management Section, State of Kansas
Dear Sir:
Attached are copies of the subject reports for calendar years 1981 and
1982, which include generator, storage and disposal reports. Available
monitoring well water level measurements, analyses and a list of moni-
toring well data for those veils which exceed one or more of the primary
drinking water standards are also attached.
We are unable to fully comply with the requirement for submittal of ground-
water monitoring data (page 3, para. 2 of the reference letter). The
information will not be available until after the quarterly samples have
been taken and analyzed, and the results received at SFAAP from USAEHA.
There are twenty-three wells yet to be sampled. Depending on the weather
and accessibility to the monitoring sites, the fourth quarter samples for
these wells should be completed by March 17, 1983.
The attached reports cover only the hazardous waste which was generated
by Hercules Incorporated, the operating contractor's activities. The
report does not reflect any hazardous waste activities which may have
been conducted by Government leases at this installation.
Please forward this data to regulatory agencies as required and forward
a copy of your submittal to this office.
Very truly yours,
TFN/SHZ/WLJohnson:bks

APPENDIX 2
SUMMARY OF CONCENTRATIONS FOR COMPOUNDS FOUND
IN GROUND-WATER AND SAMPLING
BLANK SAMPLES AT SITE 36, SUNFLOWER, KK
The following table lists the concentrations for compounds analyzed for
and found in samples at the site. Table A2-1 is generated by listing
all compounds detected and all tentatively identified compounds reported
on the organic Form I, Part B. All tentatively identified compounds
with a ;;pectraJ purity greater than 850 are identified by name and
purity m the tsblp TV»I-«PO with a purity &c less tnan asv are Labeled,
unknown
Simple numbers are designated bv the 1nnrer»M\p and ooi-reapon:! lug ui
sample number. Inorganic sample numbers are preceded by the preCix
"MQO" organic sample numbers are preceded by the prefix "QO."
A2-1
-------
TABLE KEY
A value without a flag indicates a result above the contract
required detection limit (CRDL).
Indicates an estimated value. This flag is used either when
estimating a concentration for tentatively identified compounds
where-a 1:1 response is assumed or when the mass Bprctral data
indicated the presence of a compound that meets the identification
criteria but the result is less than the specified detection limit
but greater than zero. If the limit of detection is 10 us and a
concentration of 3 pg is calculated, then report as 3J.
This flag le used when the analyte is found in the blank as well as
a sample. It indicates possible/probable blank contamination and
wtms the data user to take appropriate action.
GW n ground-water
SW - surface-water
low and medium are indicators of concentration*
