A5. PROBLEM DEFINITION / BACKGROUND
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) engaged T N & Associates, Inc., (TN&A)
Superfund Technical Assessment Response Team (START) to provide technical expertise and
field personnel to perform a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at the former
Planter's Oil Mill site, located in Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina under
Contract Number (No.) EP-W-05-053. This work was completed for the EPA in May 2009 on
behalf of the City of Rocky Mount, North Carolina as part of a Targeted Brownfield Assessment
(TBA). The general purpose of the sampling event was to collect information to confirm the
existence of contamination in potential or known areas of contamination identified in a 2007
Phase I ESA conducted by Hart & Hickman, and to the extent possible with the sampling
proposed, determine the nature, degree, and extent of contamination. The analytical data
gathered during the sampling event was used to prepare a Phase II ESA report (Ref. 4) for the
site and to develop a site Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA; Ref 3)
describing cleanup alternatives and cost estimates for cleanup.
To perform this assessment work, TN&A prepared a Quality Assurance Project Plan/Site
Sampling Plan - Revision 1 (Ref. 5) in November 2008. The QAPP/SSP R1 was previously
approved by EPA Region 4 under QAPP guidance that has since been significantly modified to
require Generic and Site -Specific QAPPs for EPA Region 4 Brownfields grant projects.
Following a review of TN&A's Phase II ESA and ABCA reports, the NCDENR Brownfields
Program requested the City of Rocky Mount acquire additional remedial design data to re-
evaluate cleanup options for the site. The City has engaged Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) to
conduct the remedial design data collection. As a consequence, a Generic QAPP is currently
required for each contracted lead consultant to conduct the additional data collection activities.
The EPA Region 4 Brownfields Program Project Officer has suggested that H&H modify the
existing TN&A's QAPP/SSP Revision 1 where needed to serve as a Generic QAPP for H&H's
project work. We have revised the existing QAPP/SSP to conform to H&H's Quality Assurance
procedures. H&H will conduct the additional data collection activities in accordance with the
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 12
approved Generic QAPP and the EPA Region 4 Science and Ecosystem Support Division
(SESD) Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures (FBQSTP; Ref. 6).
This Generic QAPP documents the policies, the project organization, quality assurance (QA)
requirements, and quality control (QC) procedures to be implemented for the additional data
collection event to ensure that the data are valid for use. It defines the QA/QC methods that
must be implemented to ensure that data meets the requirements of the Data Quality Objectives
(DQOs). The Health and Safety Plan (HASP), which is issued as a separate document, defines
the preventative and protective procedures that will be implemented during the field
investigation to ensure the safety of the field team.
Field activities will include the collection of environmental samples documenting the presence or
absence of hazardous materials on site. Analytical services will be provided by Prism
Laboratories, Inc. (Prism) and will comply with the laboratory's Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPS) and the applicable analytical methods required for this project. The findings of this
sampling event will be used to generate an Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives
(ABCA) Addendum, or other deliverable as needed to meet NCDENR requirements for a
Brownfields Agreement, that specifies the recommended cleanup approach and provides an
estimated cost.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a 7.3 acre property located in Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina.
The geographic coordinates of the center of the site are 35' 55' 44" North latitude and 77' 47' 26"
West longitude (see Figure 1). The site property is bounded to the north by Short Street
(formerly Henna Street), to the east by Cokey Road (SR-1164), to the south by the CSX Railroad
right-of-way and Norfolk Street, and to the west by Branch Street. The surrounding area is
mixed commercial and residential.
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 13
The site is currently an unoccupied grassy field and is surrounded by a 6-foot tall chain link
fence. Several gates and openings are found along the periphery of the fence. Site entry is along
the western side of the property along Branch Street and on the eastern side of the property along
Cokey Road. There are no existing structures on the site. The structures described in the 2007
Phase I ESA report prepared by H&H have all been razed (Ref. 2). The structures were razed
under the direction of the City of Rocky Mount in 2008.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Relatively mild winters, hot summers, and abundant rainfall characterize the Rocky Mount area.
The average yearly temperature in Rocky Mount is 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The average
annual precipitation is approximately 47 inches.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
The site is located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province of North Carolina. Sedimentary
rocks of the Coastal Plain consist of sediment eroded from the Piedmont over the last 100 million
years and limestone generated by marine organisms and processes at sea. Sediments overlying
bedrock in the subject site vicinity are typically composed of sands, silts, and clays that were
fluvially deposited. Rocks underlying the site belong to the Yorktown and Dublin Formations of
the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. In the vicinity of the site, the Yorktown Formation is
typically comprised of fossiliferous sand with silt and clay. The underlying Dublin Formation is
comprised of medium- to coarse -grained sand and limestone. The hydrogeology of the Coastal
Plan is characterized by aquifers consisting of permeable sands, silts, or limestone, which are
confined and separated by units of clay and silts or low permeability limestone.
SITE OPERATIONS
The site was developed prior to 1907 and was operated through 1983 as the Planter's Cotton Oil
& Fertilizer Company or Planter's Oil Mill, Inc. The mill produced cottonseed oil and later,
soybean oil and fertilizer. Oil was extracted from cottonseed and soybeans until approximately
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 14
1959 or 1960 when the owners switched to a solvent extraction process using hexane.
Cottonseed and soybean oil were manufactured in the eastern portion of the property. Fertilizer
manufacturing operations were conducted by Kaiser Agricultural Chemical in the western
portion of the property beginning in the 1970s until 1983. All site operations ceased in 1983
after a major fire resulted in the total loss of several on -site buildings. The fire is believed to
have resulted in a release of a significant volume of hexane to the subsurface in the southeastern
oil processing area.
The current owner of the site is the City of Rocky Mount. The on -site buildings and other
facility structures constituting the former Planter's Oil Mill were razed under the direction of the
City of Rocky Mount in 2008. The property is currently inactive.
REGULATORY HISTORY
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulatory files
include correspondence between the site owner (dated March 6, 1991) and North Carolina
Department of Environmental Management (NCDEM). The correspondence indicates that six
underground storage tanks (USTs) were registered at the site in 1991 and were intended to be
removed from the site in June 1991. However, there is no documentation to confirm that the
USTs were removed. The six tanks are listed as one 10,000-gallon fuel oil UST, two 1,000-
gallon (empty) diesel USTs, two 1,000-gallon kerosene USTs ranging from an estimated 200
gallons to 400 gallons residual fluid, and a 10,000-gallon (empty) hexane tank. The tanks were
estimated to have been last used in 1983. No other regulatory information is available in the file
material.
PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS
On July 24, 2007, Hart and Hickman, PC (H&H) conducted a Phase I ESA at the site on behalf
of the City of Rocky Mount under the requirements of the City of Rocky Mount's Brownfield
Assessment Grant BF-96432205-0. The Phase I ESA consisted of a review of file material
including Sanborn maps and aerial photographs, interviews with former employees, and a site
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 15
reconnaissance. The Phase I ESA identified the following Recognized Environmental
Conditions (RECs) that are areas of potential concern at the site:
• The release of hexane, a highly flammable liquid, to shallow soil and potentially to
shallow groundwater in the area under the former hull house, solvent extraction tower,
and hexane UST.
• The potential release of petroleum compounds from six on -site petroleum USTs to
shallow soil and groundwater at the site.
• The manufacture and potential release of fertilizer compounds, which can contain
elevated metals, to the shallow soil.
• The on -site use of parathion and potentially other organophosphate or organochlorine
pesticides and its potential impact on site soil.
• Certain site structures were found to contain asbestos containing material (ACM).
On August 27, 2007, Hart & Hickman conducted an asbestos survey at the site. The survey
indicated that ACM was present at the site including linoleum floor material and window glazing
in the former truck scale building, transite ceiling panels in the former boiler room building, and
sealant around the base of the grain storage tanks. All of the site structures were razed under the
direction of the City of Rocky Mount in 2008. No visual evidence of suspect asbestos containing
materials (SACM) has been observed at the site following the demolition of site structures.
A Phase II ESA Report for the subject site was prepared by T N & Associates, Inc. (TNA) in
May 2009. The Phase II ESA was completed as part of a Targeted Brownfields Assessment
(TBA) conducted on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 (USEPA) —
Region 4 Brownfields Program to assist the City of Rocky Mount with further assessing the
redevelopment potential and cleanup options for the property. The Phase II ESA focused on
assessing surface soil, subsurface soil, and/or groundwater contamination at selected locations on
the site property. Soil and groundwater samples were collected for VOC, SVOC, TAL metals,
TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, organochlorine pesticides (OCP), organophosphate pesticides (OPP), and
PCB analyses. The report conclusions are presented below.

• Evidence of arsenic contamination was found primarily in surface soil samples; but,
extended into the subsurface soil and groundwater samples
• Evidence of lead contamination was found in two groundwater samples at concentrations
exceeding the MCL and NCAC 2L Standard
• Evidence of TPH-DRO contamination was found primarily in surface soil samples; but,
was also detected in subsurface soil and groundwater samples. TPH-GRO contamination
was also identified in a groundwater sample
• Evidence of contamination of two OCPs (dieldrin and toxaphene) was found in surface
soil samples.
• Evidence of VOC contamination was found in groundwater samples
• Evidence of SVOC contamination primarily from PAHs was found in surface soil,
subsurface soil, and groundwater samples.
• No evidence of PCB contamination was found in the surface soils samples in which it
was analyzed.
SOURCE AREAS
Known or suspected on -site contaminant sources include:
• A release of hexane to shallow soil and potentially to shallow ground water in the area
under the former hull house, solvent extraction tower, and hexane UST.
• The potential release of petroleum compounds from five on -site petroleum USTs (other
than the hexane UST) to shallow soil and ground water at the site.
• The manufacture and potential release of fertilizer compounds, which can contain
elevated metals, to the shallow soil.
• The on -site use of parathion and potentially other organophosphate or organochlorine
pesticides and its potential impact on site soil.
• Certain site structures were found to contain asbestos containing material.
• Several sumps

DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES and CRITERIA
H&H has identified DQOs for the site in accordance with the EPA Guidance for the DQO
Process, (U.S. EPA QA/G-4, 2000b), that will define study objectives, decisions to be made, and
the criteria by which the data will be assessed. These data will then be used for decision making.
Upon completion of the work, the data collected will be compared to the established DQOs to
ensure that the information collected meets the intended goal of the work. DQOs have been
developed following these seven steps:
• Problem statement
• Identify the decisions
• Identify the inputs into the decision
• Define the boundaries of the study
• Develop decision rules
• Specify tolerable limits on decision errors
• Optimize the design for obtaining data
The information presented in the next several sections describes the DQOs identified for this
investigation.
Problem Statement
Previous investigations suggest that surface and subsurface soil contamination and ground water
concerns may be present at the site. This supplemental investigation will focus on the collection
of environmental samples to confirm whether contamination is present in on -site soils and
groundwater in potential or known areas of concern. The data will be used to generate an ABCA
Addendum or other deliverable as needed to meet NCDENR requirements for a Brownfields
Agreement.
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 18
Identify the Decisions
Based on previous investigations conducted at the site, evidence suggests that on -site soils are
likely contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and arsenic. This additional remedial design data gathering
will focus on determining the presence or absence of contamination in the surface soil,
subsurface soil, and groundwater at the property to evaluate the following primary decisions: (1)
Are elevated contaminants of concern present in the surface soil, subsurface soil, or groundwater
at the property? (2) Based on the findings, what cleanup options are feasible for the site and its
future use?
Decision Inputs
The primary input needed to support the decision making process is reported analytical
concentrations of contamination in surface soil, subsurface soil, and groundwater samples
collected from the property. Analytical results used in the decision -making process will come
from VOC analysis (including hexane) by SW846 Method 8260B), Semi -Volatile Organic
Compound (SVOC) or PAH analysis by SW846 Method 8270C, Organophosphorus Pesticide
analysis by SW846-8141, Organochlorine Pesticide analysis by SW846 Method 8081, Total
Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) as Gasoline Range Organics (GRO) and TPH as Diesel Range
Organics (DRO) by SW846-8015/8015-MOD, Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH) by
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) Method, and arsenic by
SW846-6010. Analysis of surface soil samples, subsurface soil samples, and groundwater
samples collected on site will be performed by an EPA -approved private laboratory.
Study Boundaries
The media of interest include on -site surface soils, subsurface soils, and groundwater. The study
boundaries include the study area, sample depth, temporal boundaries such as field investigation
dates and turnaround times on analytical results, and physical boundaries.
• The study area is the boundary of the site as shown in Figure 2.

• For purposes of this investigation, surface soil samples will be collected from zero to 24
inches below ground surface (bgs). Subsurface soil samples will be collected from
locations where previous investigations and geophysical surveys have identified areas of
concern and from a depth where Photo Ionization Detection (PID) organic vapor
screening results are highest. Groundwater samples will be collected from permanent
monitoring wells installed in the surficial aquifer beneath the property.
• Field investigation activities are scheduled to commence after approval of the Generic
QAPP and Site -Specific QAPP Addendum by the EPA Region 4 Project Officer.
• The physical boundaries of the site are Short Street to the north; Cokey Road to the east;
CSX Railroad to the south; and Branch Street to the west.
Decision Rule
The primary decisions in the DQO process for the site relating to soils are: (1) Do surface soil,
subsurface soil, and groundwater sample results indicate contamination at the property? (2) What
soils or groundwaters, if any, exceed the associated EPA Regional Screening Levels (RSLs)
and/or the associated North Carolina Inactive Hazardous Site Branch Soil Remediation Goals
(SRGs)? All soil and groundwater samples collected will be submitted to an EPA -approved
laboratory for the specified analyses. Table 4 presents the RSLs and SRGs for the target
compounds to be analyzed for at the site.
Error Limits
This sampling effort is designed to sample in areas of suspected contamination based on
evidence gathered during previous studies. Therefore, the data are thought to detect the worst
case scenario for the site.

Task 3 - Perform Additional Remedial Design Data Collection
H&H will perform additional data collection to aid in the preparation of an ABCA Addendum or
other deliverable as needed to meet NCDENR requirements for a Brownfields Agreement. This
task will require the collection of environmental samples and gathering information required to
support the investigation in order to document the presence or absence of site -attributable
contamination in the surface and subsurface soil and ground water at the site. This task will
begin with EPA Region 4 approval of the Generic QAPP and Site -Specific QAPP Addendum
and will end with the demobilization of field personnel and equipment from the site.
Task 4 — Evaluate Data and Prepare an ABCA Addendum or Other Deliverable Approved
by DENR
H&H will tabulate and evaluate the additional remedial design data and develop an ABCA
Addendum or other deliverable as needed to meet NCDENR requirements for a Brownfields
Agreement, which DNER will use to assist the City of Rocky Mount in deciding the best cleanup
alternatives for reuse of the site.
Project Timeline
We anticipate EPA Region 4 approval of the Generic QAPP and Site -Specific QAPP Addendum
by December 1, 2010. Following approval of the QAPPs, additional data collection activities
will be scheduled and completed within 30 days by January 1, 2011. A final ABCA Addendum
or other deliverable as needed to meet NCDENR requirements for a Brownfields Agreement will
be prepared by February 1, 2010. Total estimated project time from approval of QAPPs to final

A8. DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDS
This section defines the specific records and data that must be maintained for each field activity
to ensure that samples and data are traceable and defensible. Field data reporting shall be
conducted principally through the transmission of the information written in bound, paginated
field logbooks to provide a secure record of field activities; and data sheets containing tabulated
results of measurements made in the field.
Field Data
Site conditions during sampling and the care with which samples are handled may factor into the
degree to which samples represent the media from which they are collected. This, in turn, could
affect the ability of decision makers to make accurate and timely decisions concerning the
contamination status of the site. As appropriate, logbooks are assigned to, and maintained by,
key field team personnel.
Information to be recorded and retained in the logbook during this assessment includes:
• Name of laboratory and contacts to which the samples were sent, turnaround time (TAT)
requested, and data results, when possible
• Termination of a sample point or parameter and reasons
• Unusual appearance or odor of a sample
• Measurements, volume of flow, temperature, and weather conditions

B1. SAMPLE PROCESS DESIGN & SITE FIGURES
H&H will develop a sampling design in the Site -Specific QAPP Addendum for the project. This
sampling design will be in accordance with the EPA Guidance on Choosing a Sampling Design
for Environmental Data Collection (QA/G-5S) to ensure that DQOs are fulfilled for the sampling
investigation. Specifically, the design will take into account additional data needs, key
decisions, and environmental variables, such as physical and site constraints, and how the spatial
and temporal boundaries of the contamination and population at risk will be identified. The
sampling design will be developed based on the results of H&H's Phase I ESA, TN&A's Phase
lI ESA, and review comments received from the NCDENR Brownfields Program Project
Manager. Specific sample collection methods and sampling locations will be defined in the Site -
Specific QAPP Addendum for the additional data gathering event.

B3. SAMPLE HANDLING AND CUSTODY REQUIREMENTS
Sample Processing and Custody
All samples will be collected, containerized, preserved, handled, and documented in accordance
with H&H's SOPs. Any deviations in sampling procedures specified in this Generic QAPP will
be documented, including the reason for the deviation, in the field logbooks.
Sampling Equipment and Sample Containers
Sampling equipment used during the field investigation will include a Geoprobe° drill rig (and
all associated equipment), dedicated stainless steel spoons, stainless steel bowls, disposable
tubing for groundwater sampling, and disposable acetate liners for subsurface soil sampling,.
Spoons and bowls will be decontaminated in accordance with H&H SOPS. The Geoprobe drill
rig and all associated non-dedicated/reusable (augers, pipes, bits, tools, etc) equipment will be
decontaminated before drilling begins, between each soil boring, and after work is complete.
Sample containers used for sample collection will be provided by the private laboratory. This
document specifies the acceptable types of containers, the specific cleaning procedures to be
used before samples are collected, and QA/QC requirements relevant to the containers and
cleaning procedures.
Station and Sample Identification
Station IDs will be assigned as follows:
• SS-1 - for surface soil sample at station number land the stations are numbered
sequentially
• SB-1 - for subsurface soil sample at station number land the stations are numbered
sequentially
• MW-1 - for ground water sample at station number land the stations are numbered
sequentially
Sample identification numbers will be assigned using the following format:
• SS-## (xl — x2), where xl to x2 defines the sample depth interval in ft bgs

• SB-## (xl- x2), where xl to x2 defines the sample depth interval in ft bgs
►�EIE
Sample Labels
Sample labels will be prepared and affixed to each sample container sent to the private
laboratory. The labels will be prepared using waterproof, non -erasable ink.
Sample Custody Seals
The samples collected and containerized will be sealed as soon as possible following collection.
The sample custodian will write the date and their signature or initials on the seal.
Chain of Custody (COC)
All COC and record keeping procedures will be in accordance with H&H's SOPs. COC
procedures are comprised of the following elements: 1) maintaining sample custody and 2)
documentation of samples for evidence. The field COC Record is used to record the custody of
all samples sent to the laboratory. All samples shall be accompanied by a COC Record,. The
COC Record documents transfer of custody of samples from the sample custodian to another
person, the laboratory, or other organizational elements. To simplify the COC Record and
eliminate potential litigation problems, as few people as possible will have custody of the
samples or physical evidence during the investigation.
The COC Record also serves as a sample logging mechanism for the laboratory sample
custodian. A separate COC Record will be used for each final destination or laboratory utilized
during the investigation.
Custody Procedures
Documented sample custody is one of several factors that is necessary for the admissibility of
environmental data as evidence in a court of law. Custody procedures help to satisfy the two
major requirements for admissibility: relevance and authenticity. Sample custody is addressed
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 32
in three parts: field sample collection, laboratory analysis, and final evidence files. A sample
file is under custody when any one of the following conditions is satisfied:
• The item is in the actual physical possession of an authorized person.
• The item is in view of the person after being in his or her possession.
• The item was placed in a secure area to prevent tampering.
• The item is in a designated and identified secure area with access restricted to
authorized personnel only.
Field Custody Procedures
The FPL (or designee) is responsible for the care and custody of the samples collected until they
are relinquished to the laboratory or entrusted to a commercial courier. Custody procedures
apply to all environmental and associated field QC samples obtained as part of the data
collection system. When transferring samples, the individuals relinquishing and receiving the
samples will sign, date, and note the time on the COC record. The original record will
accompany the shipment and the field sampler will retain a copy. This record documents the
sample custody transfer from the sampler to the laboratory, often through another person or
agency (common courier). After COC records have been placed within sealed shipping coolers,
the signed courier airbills will serve to document COC. Upon arrival at the laboratory, internal
laboratory sample custody procedures will be followed.
Laboratory Custody Procedures
Laboratory custody procedures will ensure that sample integrity is not compromised from the
time of receipt at the laboratory until final data are reported to H&H. This requires that the
laboratory control all sample handling and storage conditions and circumstances.
Laboratory custody procedures for sample receiving and log -in; sample storage and numbering;
tracking during sample preparation and analysis; and storage of data are described in Prism's QA
Manual. In general, upon laboratory receipt of a shipment of samples, the laboratory's sample
custodian will verify that the correct number of coolers has been received. The custodian will
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 33
examine each cooler's custody seal to verify that it is intact and that the integrity of the
environmental samples has been maintained. The custodian will then open each cooler and
measure its internal temperature by measuring the temperature of the temperature blank. The
temperature reading will be documented in the "comments" column of the COC form or on an
internal laboratory form. The sample custodian will then sign the COC form and examine the
contents of the cooler. Identification of broken sample containers or discrepancies between the
COC form and sample labels will be recorded. The laboratory will retain the original field COC
forms, providing copies of the forms with the final data package deliverable. All problems or
discrepancies noted during this process will be promptly reported to H&H's PM. Samples will
be logged into the laboratory information management system.

B5. FIELD QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
QC procedures for the pH, temperature, conductivity meter, the turbidity meter, and PID meter
will include calibrating the instruments according to the manufacturer's specifications included in
the Operations Manuals for each piece of equipment. Additionally, measuring duplicate samples
and checking the reproducibility of the measurements by taking multiple readings on a single
sample or reference standard will be completed. Assessment of field sampling precision and bias
will be made by collecting field duplicates and field blanks for laboratory analysis.
QA procedures must begin in the planning stage and continue through sample collection,
analyses, reporting, and final review. The methods used to ensure field data quality are
discussed below.
Organization and Responsibilities
The FPL has overall responsibility for field QA. Off -site laboratory analyses for samples
collected will be conducted by a private laboratory.
Field QA Samples
The following sections describe the number and types of QC samples that will be collected and
submitted to the private laboratory during the field investigation.
Temperature Blanks
A temperature blank will be placed in a cooler so that the temperature of each cooler can be
measured accurately upon receipt at the laboratory without compromising sample integrity.
Temperature blanks are not assigned a unique field sample identification number.
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 37
Trip Blank
Trip blank samples, consisting of organic-free/laboratory grade blank water poured into VOC
sample vials and preserved with hydrochloric acid off -site under contaminant -free conditions
prior to commencing field investigation activities, will be by the laboratory. Trip blank samples
will be handled in a manner consistent with actual field samples, but will not be opened and will
be shipped to the laboratory with the samples. Trip blank samples will provide a measure of
potential cross -contamination of samples by VOCs during shipment and handling. Private
laboratories do not require soil trip blanks; therefore, they will not be submitted.
Duplicate Samples
Field duplicates will be collected and analyzed for chemical constituents to measure the
cumulative uncertainty (i.e., precision) of the sample collection, splitting, handling, storage,
preparation and analysis operations, as well as natural sample heterogeneity that is not eliminated
through simple mixing in the field. Field duplicates are two samples prepared by mixing a
volume of sample and splitting it into two separate sample containers that are labeled as
individual field samples. Co -located duplicate samples will be collected at 10% of the soil and
groundwater sample locations. Following collection of the initial sample, the duplicate sample
will be re -collected from the same location using clean equipment. Field duplicates are labeled
as individual environmental samples and are not identified to the laboratory as duplicate samples.
The duplicate sample will be identified with a sequential sample number and identified on the
regional copy of the chain of custody so that there is no indication to the laboratory that the
sample is a duplicate. The sample will be submitted to the private laboratory for analysis along
with the other soil and groundwater samples collected during the investigation.
Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate
Samples for laboratory QC analyses such as the matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD)
will be designated as specified in SESDPROC-011-R2. One MS/MSD sample will be
designated for every 20 samples submitted to the private laboratory.

B6. LABORATORY QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
The analytical laboratory will have a QC program to ensure the reliability and validity of the
analyses performed at the laboratory. The laboratory's QA Manual will describe the policies,
organization, objectives, QC activities, and specific QA functions used by the laboratory. All
analytical procedures are documented in writing in writing as SOPS and each SOP will include a
QC section that addresses the minimum QC requirements for the procedure. The internal QC
checks might differ slightly for each individual procedure but in general the QC requirements
include the following elements:
• Field/Trip blanks
• Method blanks
• Reagent/preparation blanks (applicable to inorganic analysis)
• Instrument blanks
• Calibration verifications
• MS/MSDs
• Surrogate (or SMC) spikes
• Analytical spikes
• Field duplicates
• Laboratory duplicates
• Laboratory control standards
• Internal standard areas for GC/MS analysis; control limits
• Mass tuning for GC/MS analysis
• Endrin/dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) degradation checks for Gas
Chromatography using Electron Capture (GC/EC) analysis, and
• Dissimilar column confirmation for GC/EC analysis
Data obtained will be properly recorded. The data package will include a full deliverable
package capable of allowing the recipient to reconstruct QC information and compare it to QC
criteria. The laboratory will reanalyze any samples analyzed in nonconformance with the QC

B7. FIELD EQUIPMENT AND CORRECTIVE ACTION
Field equipment will be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations.
Field equipment refers to articles used for on -site screening and testing.
The following instruments will be utilized in the field: pH/temperature/conductivity meter,
turbidity meter and PID. Field instrumentation will be operated and calibrated according to the
manufacturers' specifications. Field equipment calibration will be completed according to the
frequency schedule outlined by the equipment manufacturer. The PID will be calibrated daily, or
as field conditions change, with calibration gases and the results of calibration will be recorded
in the field logbook. If this identification is not feasible, then calibration records for the
equipment will be readily available for reference. Should any of the field equipment become
inoperable, it will be removed from service and tagged to indicate that repair, recalibration, or
replacement is needed. Calibration documentation procedures, at a minimum, will include the
following:
• Entries to the field logbooks will be made at least daily whenever the instrument is in use;
and,
• Calibration records that include: Calibrator's name; Standard(s) used; Date/time of
calibration; and Corrective actions taken
• Additionally, multiple readings on one sample or standard, as well as readings on
replicate samples, will likewise be documented.
The H&H Raleigh office will be notified so that prompt service or substitute equipment can be
obtained. Backup systems will be available for each instrument in use and will be calibrated
prior to use in the field.

B8. LAB EQUIPMENT & CORRECTIVE ACTION
Laboratory equipment will be calibrated in accordance with laboratory SOPs. Laboratory
equipment refers to articles used in the laboratory in support of data collection (e.g.,
refrigerators) and instruments used for sample analysis (e.g., GC/ECD).
Laboratory instrument calibration procedures and preventive maintenance are defined in Sections
9.0 and 10.0, respectively, in Prism's QA Manual. The SOP for each analysis performed in the
laboratory describes the calibration procedures, their frequency, acceptance criteria and the
conditions that will require recalibration. The laboratory maintains a sample logbook for each
instrument which will contain the following information: instrument identification, serial
number, date of calibration, analyst, calibration solutions run and the samples associated with
these calibrations. Records of calibration, repairs, or replacement will be filed and maintained
by the designated laboratory personnel performing QC activities. These records will be filed at
the location where the work is performed and will be subject to QA audit. All analyses will be
governed by the appropriate laboratory SOPs, and appropriate calibration procedures and
frequencies can be found in each SOP.

If needed, this table will be amended in the Site -Specific QAPP Addendum for each different
laboratory and to meet the target analytical parameters for each individual project, and it should
include the following laboratory -specific information:
• Analytical method reference
• Matrix
• Analyte list
• Method detection limit
• Reporting limit
• Relevant state/federal criteria or standard associated with each analyte and matrix
Project criteria are the relevant state/federal regulatory standards or screening levels to which
sample analyte concentrations are compared to evaluate risk at a target site. When the project
criteria are less than the laboratory reporting limit or the method detection limit, it is possible
than undetected sample analyte concentrations may actually exceed the project criteria. This
condition needs to be identified in the planning stage of the project to communicate with the
laboratory to discuss alternatives. Depending on the situation, H&H may elect to seek an
alternate method with a lower limit of detection. If alternatives are not available, the resulting
data should be discussed in terms of data usability in the project evaluation process (see Section
C2).
For the City's Brownfields project, one or more of the following regulatory standards/screening
levels will be used. If specific cleanup levels or other regulatory criteria are identified for
specific projects, they will be included in the Site -Specific QAPP Addendum.
• Soil Data — Compounds detected in soil will be screened against the NCDENR Inactive
Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) soil remediation goals (SRGs) found in the IHSB's Soil
Remediation Goals (SRGs) Table (updated January 2010) and the USEPA Regional

Page 43
Screening Levels for Chemical Contaminants at Superfund Sites (updated May 2010),
whichever is more stringent. Naturally occurring metals in site soil samples will be
compared to background soil sample concentrations and/or literature values.
• UST Related Data - Compounds detected in soil and ground water will be compared with
the respective screening levels established by the NCDENR UST Section to evaluate the
need for UST corrective action. Applicable screening criteria are established in
NCDENR's Guidelines for Site Checks, Tank Closure and Initial Response and
Abatement for UST Releases (rev. 11/26/2008) and Guidelines for Assessment and
Corrective Action for UST Releases (rev. 11/26/2008); Maximum Soil Contaminant
Concentration (MSCC) Table (1/2010); and Gross Contamination Level (GCL) Table
(1 /2010).
• Ground Water Data — Constituents detected in ground water will be screened against the
NCAC Title 15A Subchapter 2L Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable
to the Groundwaters of North Carolina (2L Stds)
Qualitatively, the results will be compared to the above applicable screening levels to determine
if remedial activities are warranted to protect future site occupants. Because there are no known
groundwater users in the immediate vicinity of the site, the potential for potable use exposure
pathways are incomplete. Because the future land use may include occupied site buildings,
indoor air vapor intrusion will be anticipated as a potential exposure pathway. Therefore, a
vapor intrusion screening approach will be used in accordance with NCDENR Inactive
Hazardous Sites Branch Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Structural Vapor
Intrusion Potential for Site Assessments and Remedial Actions Under the Inactive Hazardous
Sites Branch (October 6, 2010).

B10. DATA MANAGEMENT AND DOCUMENTS
H&H will maintain logbook notes and collect digital photographs during the sampling event.
H&H will document field data in an ABCA Addendum or other deliverable as needed to meet
NCDENR requirements for a Brownfields Agreement summarizing the existing conditions at the
site; describing the data collection activities; and describing the nature of contamination at the
site. Environmental and QA/QC analytical data will be evaluated and data tables will be
attached to the report. Significant QA/QC issues regarding sample collection, handling, and
analysis will be identified in the report.
The H&H internal QC process requires that all project deliverables be reviewed to promote
technical adequacy and completeness. The H&H QA Manager or designee will perform internal
QC checks of work assignment activities. Internal QC checks will address adherence to this
Generic QAPP.
H&H will retain all file information related to the site in H&H's Raleigh, NC office. H&H will
archive the hard -copy documents, field notes, data, reports, drawings, photographs, maps, tables,
and records it generates and receives from other project -related sources in its office file system
or secured off -site storage for a minimum of three years. H&H will maintain a database of
stored projects and log checkouts from any off -site storage facility. Electronic documents will
be organized by specific project and task into secure network system files, folders and subfolders
on H&H's file server for a minimum of three years following the completion of the project.
The subcontracted analytical laboratory for each individual project will typically generate
laboratory analytical data reports and QA/QC reports and completed chain -of -custody records.
These data and documents are stored in electronic format on the laboratory's file server for a
minimum of three years following project completion.
Text reports, correspondence, document transmittals, and meeting notes will be generated using
Microsoft Word or compatible word processing software and may be converted to Adobe

C1. ASSESSMENTS AND RESPONSE ACTIONS
Assessment
If the City's Project Manager believes data collection activities do not meet quality assurance
requirements specified in the Quality Assurance Management Plan, the City's Project Manager
may suspend environmental data collection projects and request corrective action.
To assess overall quality in the City's Brownfields Project, the City's Project Manager or H&H's
QA Manager or his/her designee may conduct periodic audits. More typically, project -specific
audits will be conducted that may consist of technical systems reviews, readiness reviews,
surveillance, performance evaluations, and/or data quality assessments. H&H's QA Manager
will serve in a role independent from the project sampling team, is not affiliated with the
analytical laboratory, and is responsible for communicating deficiencies to H&H's Project
Manager. QA audits may include site visits during field activities or of the off -site laboratory by
the QA Manager. The QA Manager will determine the frequency of audits but given the short
duration of the subject work it is unlikely that more than one audit will be conducted.
The role and responsibility of H&H's Project Manager in the assessment plan is to determine
whether the work is being performed in accordance with the Site -Specific QAPP Addendum.
Potential types of problems and examples of corrective actions are listed in the table below.
Potential Audit Concerns
Examples of Corrective Action
Improper use of field equipment
Instruct on proper methods
Poor sample collection techniques
Collect additional samples properly
Improper decontamination procedures
Consider cross contamination potential and resample if
deemed necessary
Wrong sample locations
Contact EPA and determine if additional samples will be
required
Improper use of personal protective
Consider cross -contamination potential and resample if
equipment (PPE)
deemed necessary; instruct on proper use
Poorly written field notes
Advise on proper techniques per QAPP requirements and
re -write if necessary

Laboratory sample prep area dirty
Report incident to Lab Supervisor, consider whether re -
sampling is required
Laboratory does not check sample
Report incident to Lab Supervisor, determine whether
temperatures when they arrive
samples will be adversely affected and if re -sampling is
required
H&H's Project Manager is responsible for ensuring the variances and corrective actions are
communicated at the time of the incident to the project team, laboratory, and EPA. The Project
Manager is responsible for documenting pertinent facts in an assessment report. The assessment
report will be provided to the EPA Region 4 Project Officer. H&H's Project Manager or his/her
field staff designee is responsible for ensuring the corrective action is effective in resolving the
problem.
Oversight
Given the relatively short-term duration of most Brownfields field efforts, the assessment plan
also includes the oversight of the field team and field subcontractors at a point early in the
project by an experienced field supervisor familiar with the project objectives. This oversight
means verifying that the project is progressing as planned and field procedures are in place.
Should problems arise, the field supervisor may request that the Project Manager or QA Manager
conduct a field audit.

D1. FIELD DATA EVALUATION
Data evaluation is the process of verifying that qualitative and quantitative information generated
relative to a given sample is complete and accurate. Data evaluation procedures shall be
performed for field operations as described below.
Procedures to evaluate field data for this project primarily include checking for transcription
errors and review of field logbooks/field data sheets, on the part of field crewmembers. At the
end of each field event, H&H's FPL will review the field logbooks to check that tasks were
performed as specified in the Site -Specific QAPP Addendum. Specific items to be reviewed
include:
• Samples collected in proper locations
• Field equipment calibration procedures documented in field book and in accordance with
acceptance criteria
• Proper sampling techniques used
• Field QA/QC requirements followed
• Samples analyzed for correct parameters
Further, results of all field instrument calibration will be reviewed by H&H's FPL to ensure that
all criteria that are specified in this Generic QAPP are followed. Data collected from instruments
not meeting calibration standards will be re -measured once the calibration problem has been
solved. The FPL will be the responsible for ensuring that these measurements are re -taken.
The evaluation of field QC samples will provide definitive indications of the data quality. If a
problem arises, it should be able to be isolated via the complete sample tracking and
documentation procedures that will be performed. If such a problem does arise, corrective action
can be instituted, documented, and reported. If data are compromised due to a problem,
appropriate data qualifications will be used to identify the data.

The handling, preservation and storage of samples collected during the sampling program will be
monitored on an on -going basis. The project laboratories will document sample receipt
including proper containers and preservation at the time samples are logged into their individual
laboratory. The sample receipt records (a required data package deliverable) as well as the COC
documentation will also be assessed during data validation. Sample handling, storage or
preservation problems identified during data validation will result in appropriate qualification of
data.
Data Quality Review
Field data will be reviewed and verified to ensure that the data collected are of sufficient quantity
and quality to support the project -specific DQOs. Raw data and data -entry errors will be
detected by standard QA review consisting of 1) an initial review by the technician generating
the data; and 2) a second review by H&H's Project Manager or his/her senior level designee.
Reduced data will be checked in the same manner by manual calculations on a spot-check basis
in a like manner. Equations, calculations, data transfers, consistent units, and significant figures
will be subject to the quality assurance review. Results of the above field data quality review
will be documented in the final report.

Data Review and Validation
Each final laboratory analytical data report and supporting data will be reviewed by the lab's
Project Manager and portions of each report reviewed by the lab's QA Manager in accordance
with Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of Prism's QA Manual. The laboratory data package review will
basically include:
Field and Laboratory Raw Data
■ Transcription Errors
■ Calculation Errors
■ Calibration Data
■ Mass Spectral Interpretation
■ Times and Dates of Analyses
Chain -of -Custody
Holding Times
Anomalies Concerning Interdepartmental Data
H&H's QA Manager, who is independent from the project sampling team and he is not affiliated

with overall project goals. The QA Manager will review and evaluate field and laboratory QC
data to determine what data are judged to be valid for use as intended, and what data must be
used with qualifications or eliminated altogether. H&H's QA Manager will communicate the
deficiencies to H&H's Project Manager. These determinations will be documented fully in the
assessment report and associated remediation planning documents.
H&H's Review and Documentation of Laboratory QC Data
H&H's Project Manager will perform a final data evaluation on the laboratory data package for
each Brownfields project to ensure it is compliant with the Generic QAPP and Site -Specific
QAPP Addendum requirements. H&H's Project Manager will document any problems with
laboratory QC results in the final report. Any pertinent sample data that may be impacted by
problems with laboratory QC sample results will be noted in the final report. Where applicable,
data will be flagged with the data qualifiers explained in the footnotes of the data summary table.
H&H's Project Manager will address missing information or questions concerning the data
package with the laboratory's QA Officer. H&H's Project Manager will document any missing
information, unresolved questions, non -compliant issues, and variations from the analytical
protocols by the laboratory in the final report. Any pertinent sample data that may be impacted
by non-compliance with required QA protocols will be noted in the final report. In addition,
H&H's Project Manager will interpret observations, trends, and limitations discovered in the
field and/or laboratory QC data and document these interpretations in the final report.

D3. DATA USABILITY AND PROJECT EVALUATION
Data review efforts described in this QAPP will culminate in a determination of what data are
judged to be valid for use as intended, and what data must be used with qualifications or
eliminated altogether. These determinations will be documented fully in the assessment report
and associated remediation planning documents.
An overall project evaluation process is presented below that will be routinely used to determine
data usability, update the conceptual site model, and to determine if the project objectives have
been met. The basic steps of this process include:
1) Compare Field Data with State/Federal Standards
Tabulate the field data together with the applicable state/federal standards, regulatory
screening levels and/or background concentrations for presentation on the final report.
Highlight any sample results exceeding the criteria. Check the table for completeness,
correctness, and accuracy.
2) Prepare Site Figures/Maps and Other Graphical Representations
Generated figures and maps as appropriate to show geologic and hydrogeologic
conditions and the distribution of contaminants with respect to site features. Check the
figures for completeness, correctness, and accuracy.
3) Evaluate Usability
Using the summary table in Step 1 and the graphical presentations in Step 2, evaluate the
usability of the individual field sample results at the parameter level. Document any
limitations on how the data should be used and/or interpreted. Consider the following
criteria
• Sensitivity (is sample concentration near the reporting limit or method
detection limit?)
• Results of field data evaluation (see Section DI)
Hart & Hickman, PC
City of Rocky Mount NC Generic QAPP Revision 0
BF-95414908 Former Planter's Oil Mill Site November 18, 2010
Page 54
• Results of laboratory data evaluation (see Section D2)
Evaluate the following data quality issues:
Where contaminants of concern are at concentrations near the project criteria and reportinglimits
imits
Are there sufficient surrounding data points to support a trend if real contamination? Is more
data needed to support a conclusion?
Evaluate the heterogeneity of a particular matrix by evaluating the field duplicate results
Variability in the duplicate results can impact the usability of low level results near the project
criteria. Are more data points needed to support a conclusion?
Evaluate sample results that are reported at elevated reporting limits due to dilution of the sample
during anal
Is the usability of the data compromised because the reporting limit is greater than the project
criteria? Can cleanup and reanalysis be performed to salvage the data?
Evaluate low flow ground water quality
Does the turbidity data impact the use of the SVOC, PCB or metals data where the concentration
is near the project criteria and reporting limits?
Based upon the data usability evaluation described in Step 3 above, H&H's Project Manager will
perform an overall project evaluation and will document observations, trends, anomalies, or data
gaps that may exist. Further, H&H's Project Manager will evaluate how the sample results
impact the conceptual site model and whether the project objectives have been met. The above
evaluations, observations, and conclusions will be documented in the final report.
