June 22, 2018 Ms. Caroline Goodwin North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management — Brownfields Program 1646 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1646 Re: Brownfields Additional Assessment Work Plan Woodfin Auto & Salvage 1420 & 1430 Riverside Drive Asheville, North Carolina Brownfields Project No. 21045-17-011 SEI Project No. SEI-884 Ms. Goodwin: 1.0 Introduction Singleton Environmental, Inc. (SEI) has prepared this Work Plan to conduct Brownfields assessment activities on the Woodfin Auto & Salvage property located at 1420 and 1430 Riverside Drive in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina (Site). The subject Site consists of two contiguous commercial parcels comprising approximately 3.23 acres. A Site location map is provided as Figure 1. Currently, there is a mobile home that was the former operations office, scales, a partially demolished block structure (former office) remaining on the Site with the automotive debris. Most of the ground cover at the Site is gravel, mulch, dirt or concrete. An aerial Site Map is included as Figure 2. 2.0 Background Historically, the Site was pasture land until the mid- 1950s when it became the Farmer's Federation Feed & Seed Co-op. In the mid-1960s the Site became an auto crusher/junkyard with concrete fill material from off -site demolition sites added to increase the ground elevation. Recently, the Site has been cleared of most autos, however, some automotive debris remains on the Site. SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. 2.1 Areas of Potential Concern In June and July 2017, SEI completed a L i m i t e d Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at the Site to determine if there was soil and groundwater contamination was present. In February 2018, SEI completed a Phase I ESA and a Receptor Survey for the Site. Potential environmental concerns identified in connection with the Site during Phase I & II ESA activities are summarized below: • Since the mid-1960s, the Site has been used as an auto junkyard/auto crusher (1420 Riverside Drive) or an auto repair facility (1430 Riverside Drive). According to aerial photographs, it appears the crusher was moved to different locations at the Site during the 40+ years it was in operation. Stained soils from the past use were observed during the site visits and the Phase II ESA activities. Additional soil and groundwater analysis will need to be performed in these areas to further assess the Site. • Railroad tracks are located along the northern boundary of the Site. Although the area surrounding the tracks appear to be in good condition, soil testing will need to be performed to rule out contamination in this area. • The Site has been elevated over the years with fill material from local demolition sites. Most of the fill material appears to be concrete and rock debris, however, the areas with the fill material need further assessment to determine if other items have been buried at the Site. The Site received eligibility into the DEQ Brownfields Program via a Letter of Eligibility dated October 4, 2018. On May 11, 2018, SEI attended a meeting with DEQ Brownfields personnel to discuss Site history, areas of potential environmental concern, proposed redevelopment plans for the Site, potential data gaps, and the scope of Brownfields assessment activities needed to address the data gaps. Based on conversations during the May 11, 2018 meeting, SEI proposes to conduct soil and groundwater assessment activities to evaluate the subsurface conditions for potential impacts in areas of concern identified during Phase I & II ESA activities. Brownfields assessment activities are outlined in the following sections. SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. 3.1 Brownfields Assessment Activities SEI proposes to conduct soil and groundwater assessment activities at the Site to evaluate the potential for impacts associated with historical Site uses and to assist in development of an Environmental Management Plan for use during planned redevelopment of the Site. The proposed assessment activities will be performed in general accordance with DEQ's Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup (Guidelines) dated October 2015 and most recent versions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IV Science and Ecosystem Support (SESD) Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures guidance. Prior to conducting field activities, SEI will contact North Carolina 811 One -Call, the public utility locator service, to mark subsurface utilities at the Site. 3.2 Receptor Survey In February 2018, SEI completed a Brownfields Property Receptor Survey. Per DEQ Brownfields request, the Brownfields Property Receptor Survey is provided in Appendix A. The receptor survey includes information about current land use at the Site area including zoning. SEI conducted a field search for water supply wells, basements, utility manways and chases, storm sewers, other underground utilities, drains, and surface water within a 1500 feet radius of the Brownfield property boundaries. The Receptor Survey identified the on -site buried utilities and the French Broad River as the closest receptors. 3.3 Soil Assessment Activities SEI proposes to conduct soil assessment activities at the Site to further evaluate current subsurface conditions for potential impacts and to further evaluate soils that will be removed and used for fill material in other areas of the Site during initial grading activities. SEI will either perform or team with a qualified drilling contractor to advance fourteen soil borings to depths of approximately 4 ft/bgs to 20 ft/bgs (or refusal). Proposed soil sample locations (denoted by SS nomenclature) are depicted on the sample location map, which is presented as Figure 2, and will be advanced in the following areas: SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. • SS-1, SS-2 and SS-9 will be advanced to a depth of approximately 4 ft/bgs. • SS-3, SS-4, SS-8, and SS-10 will be advanced to a depth of approximately 2 ft/bgs. • SS-5, SS-6, SS-7, SS-11 and SS-12 will be advanced to a depth of approximately 1 ft/bgs. • SS-13 and SS-14 will be advanced to groundwater approximately 20 ft/bgs. • SS-15 will be will be collected at a depth of 0 to 0.5 ft/bgs. The soil borings will be advanced utilizing direct push technology (DPT) drill rig. Continuous soil samples will be collected from the borings using acetate lined macrocore sleeves. Soil samples will be logged for lithological description and field screened for indication of potential impacts by observation for staining, and the presence of organic vapors using a calibrated photoionization detector (PID). Based upon field screening results, one soil sample with the highest PID results will be submitted for analysis. Following collection, the soil samples will be placed in dedicated laboratory -supplied sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. Soil samples will be submitted to Pace Analytical, a North Carolina certified laboratory, under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260, semi-VOCs (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471 /7196. 3.4 Groundwater Assessment Activities SEI will utilize a drilling contractor to provide DPT drill rig to advance borings for installation of two temporary groundwater monitoring wells. If refusal is encountered prior to reaching the water table in a proposed temporary groundwater monitoring well location, SEI will instruct the driller to use air rotary to advance the boring to depths corresponding to the water table. The approximate locations of the proposed temporary monitoring wells (denoted by TMW-2 and TWM-3) are shown on the sample location map, which is presented as Figure 3, and are described below: • The SS-13 soil boring will be advanced to groundwater and will become TMW-2. 0 The SS-14 soil boring will be advanced to groundwater and will become TMW-3. SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. During drilling, soil samples will be collected and logged for lithologic description and field screened for presence of staining and elevated concentrations of volatile organic vapors using a PID. The temporary monitoring wells will be constructed of 1-inch diameter PVC with 10 ft of pre -pack well screen set to bracket the water table and 1-inch diameter PVC well casing to the ground surface. A sand filter pack will extend from below the base to approximately 2 ft above the top of the pre -packed well screens. The temporary wells will be completed by placing a hydrated bentonite seal from the top of the sand filter pack to the ground surface. Once the temporary monitoring wells are installed, the wells will be allowed to equilibrate to static conditions and a decontaminated electronic water level indicator will be used to measure the depth to the water table relative to the ground surface. The wells will then be developed by removing a minimum of 3 to 5 well volumes and observing stable field parameters (i.e. pH f 0.1 SU and conductivity varies no more than 5%). After development, a groundwater sample will be collected utilizing low flow/low stress purging techniques using a peristaltic pump and dedicated polyethylene tubing. The intake point of the pump tubing will be placed approximately in the mid -portion of the screened interval of the well and groundwater will be removed at a rate no greater than 200 milliliters per minute. SEI will utilize a water quality meter to measure pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, turbidity, and specific conductivity at 3 to 5 minute intervals during purging. Purging will be considered complete when water quality parameters stabilize (i.e. pH ± 0.1 SU, conductivity varies no more than 5%, and turbidity is less than 10 NTUs). Once groundwater parameters stabilize, groundwater samples will be collected directly into laboratory supplied sample containers using the "soda straw" method to minimize volatile loss through the peristaltic pump head. The sample containers will be labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler and iced. The sample will be delivered to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270 and RCRA metals by EPA Methods 6010/7471. Upon completion of soil and groundwater sampling activities, soil borings and temporary monitoring wells will be properly abandoned by a licensed well driller and surfaces will be repaired to generally match pre -drilling conditions. Soil and groundwater sample locations will be SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. recorded in the field using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) unit. 3.5 Quality Assurance/Quality Control Laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures will be employed to ensure appropriate sample handling and analysis and to aid in the review and validation of the analytical data. QA/QC procedures will be conducted in accordance with EPA method protocols and will include regular equipment maintenance, equipment calibrations, and adherence to specific sample custody and data management procedures. In accordance with approved methodologies, samples will be analyzed in conjunction with appropriate blanks, laboratory duplicates, continuing calibration standards, and surrogate standards to monitor both instrument and analyst performance. SEI will request that the laboratory reporting limits for each analyte will be at or below appropriate screening criteria. Additionally, SEI will request that the laboratory include J Flags, which are estimated concentrations for compounds that are detected at levels above the laboratory method detection limit, but below the laboratory reporting limit. The following activities will be conducted by SEI for QA/QC purposes: • non -dedicated equipment and tools will be decontaminated prior to use at each boring or sampling location, or following exposure to soil or groundwater. • one duplicate soil sample will be analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, RCRA metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471 /7196. • one duplicate groundwater sample will be analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, and RCRA metals by EPA Methods 6010/7471. • one trip blank will accompany samples during sampling activities and shipment. The trip blank will be analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260. A copy of the laboratory analytical data report and QA package for each group of samples submitted to and analyzed by the subcontracted laboratory will be provided in an appendix to the final report. Laboratory QA data consistent with Level II documentation will be requested for this project. A copy of the completed chain -of -custody record and shipping receipt will be appended to the corresponding laboratory analytical report included with the final report. SINGLETON ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. 3.6 Investigation Derived Waste Investigation derived waste (IDW) generated during the assessment activities will be containerized or will be placed on, and covered with a minimum of 10-mil plastic and staged in a secure on -Site location. The IDW will remain on -Site pending laboratory analytical results. Based on laboratory analytical results, the IDW will be managed in accordance with the DEQ IHSB Guidelines and the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A Subchapter 2T rules dated January 1, 2009. 4.0 Reporting Following completion of the assessment activities and receipt of the analytical data, SEI will document our findings in a Brownfields Assessment Report. The report will include a description of the sampling activities, a figure depicting sample locations, soil boring logs, temporary monitoring well construction details, a groundwater p o t e n t i o m e t r i c map, laboratory analytical data, a discussion of the data in comparison to regulatory screening levels, Brownfields Receptor Survey results, a photographic log of the Site and assessment activities, and conclusions and recommendations concerning our activities.
