Incident #5189
GRI Project #5008
Dear Mr. Currie:
GRI presents the results of a fate and transport simulation that was completed for the above referenced
site. The modeling effort is to determine if contaminant constituents would reach the spring-fed wetland
area within 500 feet of the site.
FATE AND TRANSPORT MODEL
A fate and transport simulation was performed to determine the feasibility of site remediation by natural
attenuation. The reduction of the contaminants of concern in the saturated zone by natural attenuation
was estimated using BIOSCREEN, which simulates remediation through natural attenuation of dissolved
hydrocarbons at petroleum fuel release sites. The software is based on the Domenico analytical solute
transport model and has the ability to simulate advection, dispersion, adsorption, and aerobic decay as
well as anaerobic reactions that have been shown to be the dominant biodegradation processes at many
petroleum release sites. BIOSCREEN includes three different model types:
1. Solute transport without decay,
2. Solute transport with biodegradation modeled as a first-order decay process (simple, lumped-
parameter approach),
3. Solute transport with biodegradation modeled as an “instantaneous” biodegradation reaction
(approach used by BIOPLUME models).
The model is designed to simulate biodegradation by both aerobic and anaerobic reactions. It was
developed through collaboration between the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Air Force.

In addition to the assumptions built into the Domenico Model, several other site-specific assumptions
were incorporated into the model based upon field data collected during assessment and monitoring
activities. The site-specific assumptions are as follows:
Based on a review of site history, a release was reported in August 1989 and UST Incident #5189
was assigned. Free product was present until 2019. Since the objective of the simulation was to
determine the feasibility of remediation by natural attenuation, the calibration effort was focused
on replicating site conditions from 2019 to 2023 (the current conditions).
The ground water flow regime was generally to the northeast based on the April 2023 data, as
well as historical data.
The hydraulic conductivity calculated from slug tests conducted during the Comprehensive Site
Assessment ranged from 0.22 to 15.25 feet per day, with the seepage velocity ranging from 6.424
to 445.3 feet per year with an average groundwater seepage velocity of 181.5 feet per year. Test
simulations were performed using this range of velocities and other site specific conditions to
determine reasonable water-balance computations for the model calibrations.
The source area is the former UST basin and is extended to include monitoring wells GMW-1,
GMW-7, MW-2 and MW-3.
Monitoring wells GMW-3, GMW-8 and MW-5, located approximately 82.5 feet, 118.5 feet and
135.9 feet from the source area, respectively, were used as compliance points to compare the
simulated data with actual data. In addition, the reduction of contaminant concentrations in one
or more of the source area monitoring wells was also used to compare simulated data with actual
data.
Fraction organic carbon was assumed to be 0.001 based on the site conditions.
For gasoline spills, BTEX compounds are usually assumed to comprise the bulk of dissolvable
organics in the source zone. Since contaminant specific soil quality data from UST closure
activities was not available, to simulate a declining source, the soluble mass of BTEX compounds
in soil was assumed based on ground water quality data obtained from the source area during the
November 2019 sampling event. It was assumed that the contaminants in the soil were equal to
those dissolved in ground water resulting in the reported concentrations. The seasonal high water
table was reported at an average depth of 11 feet in the source area during the January 2021
ground water gauging event. For modeling purposes, the volume of contaminated soil was
estimated by multiplying the area of the source, with the average water column height of the
source area. The volume was converted to kilograms (kg) of contaminated soil and multiplied by
the average soil concentration to get the soluble mass in the source zone. This quantity was used
to estimate the rate at which the source zone concentration declines. The soluble mass was
calculated to be approximately 194 kg using the November 2019 soil sampling data. Please note
that this represents the average of contaminant specific concentrations from the source area
monitoring wells referenced earlier.
The objective of the model calibration was to predict the trend of contaminant reduction in the
source area from the time free product had been eliminated in 2019, in the absence of a
secondary source area. The modeling effort was directed towards obtaining a match point for the
contaminant concentrations in the source area and down-gradient monitoring wells. Please note
that the calibration period was from November 2019 (following the soil excavation) to April 2023,
approximately 4 years.

Red Spring, located approximately 430 feet northeast from the source area, was the primary
exposure point agreed upon between the NCDEQ and GRI for the model. The modeling effort was
designed to determine if contaminant concentrations of benzene and toluene exceeded ten times
the surface water quality standards (10x2B) in the sspring. Please note that surface water quality
standards for ethylbenzene, xylenes and naphthalene have not been established. Therefore, the
modeling effort for these contaminants was only to determine if concentrations of these
constituents exceeded MACs in the sspring. Please note that in the case of the spring, the
potential exceedance of 2L standards at the spring does not determine the risk classification for
the site. Rather, an exceedance of 10x2B will determine whether the spring is at risk.
The closest water supply well, WSW-1, located approximately 328 feet northeast of the source
area (down-gradient), was selected as one of the secondary exposure points for the model. Please
note that this well is not used for potable purposes and the modeling effort was purely designed
to determine if contaminant concentrations exceed the 2L standards in this well.
Once the model was calibrated for BTEX constituents and naphthalene, subsequent simulations were run
to predict the trend of contamination reduction from the time free product was eliminated until such time
as the individual contaminant concentrations exceeded 10x2B (for benzene and toluene) at the spring.
For the remaining constituents, the model run was extended to predict whether the individual
constituents would reach the distance of water supply well WSW-1 and/or the spring at concentrations
exceeding the MACs. This required modeling the individual contaminants with the best-fit source
concentrations and increasing the simulation time incrementally until source concentrations (and down-
gradient compliance point concentrations) were at or below target levels (MACs). The input parameters
for the model are presented in Table 1.
BIOSCREEN MODELING SUMMARY
Model Calibration
The instantaneous reaction model was used in an attempt to approximate the current plume
length (~155 feet).
BTEX constituents and naphthalene exceeded the MACs in at least one source area monitoring
well. Therefore, the model was calibrated and simulations were run to determine the fate and
transport of these constituents. Please note that only the exceedance of 10x2B standard can be
used to determine whether the spring is at risk.
A decaying source was assumed in the model calibration and the source concentrations from 4
years ago (2019) were estimated to match source concentrations for the April 2023 data. Because
the source decay term is different for the first order decay and instantaneous reaction models,
this simulation focused on matching the instantaneous reaction model. The results of the model
calibration have been summarized in Table 2.
Attempts to match the plume using the first-order decay model were unsuccessful. Therefore, the
focus of the model was to simulate the plume using the instantaneous reaction model.
The instantaneous model reproduced the observed source concentrations relatively well and
provided a reasonable match for the down-gradient compliance points MW-6 and MW-10R for
both of the modeled constituents. Please note that the calculated benzene concentration was
greater than the observed concentration. This indicates that the benzene in the source area is
attenuating faster than the model has predicted. The results of model calibration are included as
Appendix A.

Model Simulation
As shown in the plume output for each of the modeled contaminants, it is estimated that from
the present (2023), the benzene plume will exceed the MACs off-site (beyond MW-5) in 4 years
(2027) and will exceed the MACs in WSW-1 in 18 years (2041). The model predicted that the
benzene plume will reach the spring in 25 years (2048). The simulation time was extended to 65
years and more to determine if benzene concentrations at the spring would exceed 10x2B. The
model predicted that this standard would not be exceeded and that contaminant concentrations
would start declining.
For the simulation of the toluene plume, the model predicted contaminant concentrations will
exceed the MACs off-site (beyond MW-5) in 4 years (2027) and will exceed the MACs in WSW-1
in 17 years (2040) . The model predicted that the toluene plume will reach the spring in 18 years
(2041) and will exceed 10x2B in 19 years (2042). The results of the model simulation have been
summarized in Table 3.
Simulations were also conducted for ethylbenzene, xylenes and naphthalene plumes. The model
predicted that the ethylbenzene and xylenes plumes will reach the spring in 2044 and 2051; while
the naphthalene plume will not reach the spring. Please note that there is no established 2B
standard for these contaminants. For ethylbenzene, xylenes and naphthalene, the 2L standards
were predicted to be exceeded at WSW-1 in 2042, 2045 and 2112, respectively.
Simulations conducted for the modeled contaminants with a time period increasing incrementally
beyond the above referenced run times showed a decrease of each constituent in the source area
and at the compliance points down-gradient. This indicates that the contaminant plumes are
attenuating at a faster rate than the rate at which they are migrating offsite. The results of
simulations are included as Appendix B.
Conclusion
The results of the fate and transport simulation indicate that the benzene plume will not exceed
10x2B at the spring in the simulated time frame and the toluene plume will exceed 10x2B at the
spring in 2042 (19 years from the present). Both plumes show declining trends indicating the
potential effect of natural attenuating.
Beyond the simulation period, the model predicted that contaminant concentrations would
decrease in down-gradient compliance points. This indicates that the plumes are attenuating
faster than they are migrating offsite.
Based on the results of the fate and transport model, it appears that the toluene plume will exceed
10x2B in 19 years, therefore, it is recommended that some source concentration reduction
measures be employed followed by semi-annual sampling for 2 additional years. A computer
model should be run again at that time to confirm if the declining trend is continuing and whether
the source reduction measures had the desired effect in reducing the migration and thereby the
predicted exposure point concentrations at the spring. Please note that this model does not take
into account the effect of water being pumped from any of the nearby water supply wells. The
screened interval and well pumping rates are unknown, as well as the quality of the well
construction.
