Corrective Action Monitoring Report
October 2015 Semi -Annual Event
1 Introduction
This Corrective Action Monitoring Report presents the results of groundwater and
surface water monitoring performed during the October 2015 semi-annual event at the
Former Clifton Precision. Site (site) located near Murphy, North Carolina (Figure 1). This
event was conducted during the period of 19 October 2015 through 22 October 2015.
The event followed the monitoring plan prescribed in the latest revision of the Corrective
Action Monitoring Plan (CDM Smith, April 2009; modified June 9, 2014). Details
regarding the site history and background are available in the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation Report (CDM, August 2013).
As outlined in the June 9, 2014 Proposed Corrective Action Monitoring Plan Revisions,
remediation interim measures(IMs) including groundwater reinjection and thermal
remediation were initiated in 2014 to augment the remedial activities at the site. A brief
overview of the activities completed to date is presented below:
The former groundwater treatment system was decommissioned for replacement with a
new treatment system on 4 August 2014. In general, the new system consists of:
• Improved sediment filtration;
• An upgraded air stripper;
• An Advanced Oxidation Process consisting of ultraviolet (UV) oxidation with
hydrogen peroxide addition;
• Carbon dioxide injection for pH balance;
• Eight reinjection wells for injection for treated water on the other side of Slow
Creek;
• A direct discharge, to sewer option; and
• Advanced automated control.
Construction, testing, and troubleshooting of the new groundwater treatment and
reinjection system occurred from August 2014 to April 2015. The system was
substantially complete and began discharge to the sewer in December 2014 to assess
performance. Full system operation with reinjection (no direct discharge to the sewer)
began on 20 April 2015 after system performance was confirmed.
Installation of a thermal remediation system in the Waste Management Unit B area was
initiated in August 2014 after design was complete and approved: Installation was
completed in April 2015, and system startup involving the use of underground electrodes
to heat the subsurface began on 20 April 2015. The system has continued to operate with
minimal interruption since April and is expected to continue into early 2016.
2 Monitoring Summary
During this monitoring event, 21 monitoring wells, 4 groundwater recovery wells, 3
surface water stations 3 creek monitoring points, and 1 private well location were
1
Corrective Action Monitoring Report
October 2015 Semi -Annual Event
sampled. Monitoring wells MW-42 and MW-43 were unable to be located for sampling
due to tilling activities by the landowner for the parcel where those wells are located.
Water levels were measured in each of the sampled monitoring wells, along with'an
additional 25 monitoring wells. The monitoring locations are shown on Figures 2a and
2b, and the monitoring schedule is presented as Table 1. A summary of the
hydrogeologic zones referenced in Table 1 is presented as Table 2.
The work performed in implementing the monitoring program is consistent with the
Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures, EPA Region 4, Science and
Ecosystem Support Division (SESD), Athens, Georgia. The data collection adhered to the
latest revision of the following SESD_ Operating Procedures (SESDPROC): SESDPROC- 010
(Logbooks), SESDPROC-005 (Sample and Evidence Management), SESDPROC-100 (Field
pH Measurement), SESDPROC-101 (Field Specific Conductance Measurement),.
SESDPROC-102 (Field Temperature SecMeasurement), SESDPROC-105 (Groundwater
Level and Well Depth Measurement), SESDPROC-201 (Surface Water Sampling),
SESDPROC-203 (Pump Operation), SESDPROC-205 (Field Equipment Cleaning and
Decontamination); and SESDPROC-301 (Groundwater Sampling).
Collected samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by TestAmerica
Laboratories in Savannah, Georgia according to SW-846 Method 8260B. The VOC list
reported for this monitoring event is a site -specific list containing 49 VOCs. In addition to
the groundwater and surface water samples, duplicate samples were collected at a
frequency of 10% and submitted to the laboratory as blind duplicates.
Field work for this event was performed by Environmental Monitoring Services, LLC, and
reporting was done by CDM Smith Inc.

Corrective Action Monitoring Report
October 2015 Semi -Annual Event
Complete laboratory reports for the October 2015 semi-annual monitoring event are
included in a CD format as Appendix A. In addition to groundwater monitoring well
sampling, operational data were collected for the three groundwater recovery wells (RW-
3, RW-4, and RW-5) in service. The groundwater recovery data collected since startup of
the new groundwater treatment system with full reinjection are summarized in Table 9.
4 Potentiometric Surface Mapping and Trend Analysis
4.1 Regolith / Transition Zone
A.potentiometric surface map representing the regolith/transition zone is presented as
Figure 3.
The groundwater flow patterns in the regolith zone for this event are generally
consistent with the flow patterns observed during the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI).
The direction of groundwater flow is to the north and northwest across the site and
toward Slow Creek and the alluvial valley. Groundwater flow in the alluvial valley is to
the west. The effect of the recovery wells on groundwater flow is evident by the
drawdown cone observed in the northwest portion of the site and extending off site to
the north.
: 4.2 Bedrock Zone
A potentiometric surface map representing the conditions in the bedrock zone is
presented as Figure 4.
The. groundwater flow patterns in the bedrock zone for this event show a pronounced
influence across the north portion of the site and extending off site due to the ongoing
operation of the onsite recovery wells.
4.3 Surface Water
Trichloroethene (TCE) was not detected above the method detection limit (MDL) at
Creek Monitoring Points (CMP) 1 and CMP-3 in the October 2015 monitoring.
Downstream monitoring location CMP-4 did report TCE above the MDL at a
concentration of 2.75 µg/L; however, this concentration is below the federal maximum
contaminant level (MCL) for TCE. Surface water sample SW-3 also reported TCE at a
concentration of 1.2 µg/L, above -the MDL, but below. the MCL. TCE was not detected
above the MDL in either SW-6 or SW-10 in the October 2015 monitoring event. Overall,
the VOC distribution along Slow Creek shows lower levels than those observed during the
last semi-annual event in April 20IS.
4.4 Private Wells and Spring
In August 2012, EPA approved revisions to the Corrective Action Monitoring Plan that
adjusted the private well and spring sampling plan. One private spring location, SP-26,
was sampled during the annual monitoring in October 2015. A private well location, PW-
16, was also scheduled for annual monitoring. However, the corresponding pump was
not functional, and thus a sample could not be obtained. Diagnosis of the well pump at
I
Corrective Action Monitoring Report
October 2015 Semi -Annual Event
PW-16 is underway, and this well should be available for sampling during the next
annual monitoring event in October 2016.
4.5 Groundwater Recovery
' Figure 5 presents the monthly groundwater recovery volumes for the currently used
groundwater recovery wells for the last five years.
Construction activities associated with the interim measures limited the operating time
of all recovery wells from August 2014 to April 2015. Additionally, flow measurement
from the individual recovery wells was disabled from September 2014 to April 2015.
Effluent flow measurements were being collected from the sewer totalizer until
construction activities were completed.
The TCE concentration in recovered groundwater from RW-3 has remained lower and
relatively stable since the historical high concentration (8,700 µg/L) was detected in
October 2008. The TCE concentration detected during this monitoring event was
58 µg/L. The average flow rate for RW-3 was 2.66 gallons per minute (gpm) over the
period of May 2015 through September 2015.
The TCE concentration in recovered groundwater from RW-4 for this monitoring event
was 880 µg/L. This concentration is within the historical range for this well.
The average flow rate for RW-4 was 21.14 gpm over the period of May 2015 through
September 2015.
RW-5 went online on June 30, 2009. Historical TCE concentrations in recovered
groundwater from RW-5 have ranged from a low of 1,700 µg/L.to a high.of.5,300 µg/L
(October 2014). The concentration reported during this monitoring event was 3,400
µg/L. The average flow rate for RW-5 was.0.99 gpm over the period of May 2015 through
September 201.5.

Corrective Action Monitoring Report
April 2016 Semiannual Event
1 Introduction
This Corrective Action Monitoring Report presents the results of groundwater and
surface water monitoring performed during the April 2016 semiannual event at the
Former Clifton Precision Site (site) located near Murphy, North Carolina (Figure 1). This
event was conducted during the period of 25 April 2016 through 28 April 2016. The
event followed the monitoring plan prescribed in the latest revision of the Corrective
Action Monitoring Plan (CDM Smith, April 2009; modified June 9, 2014). Details
regarding the site history and background are available in the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation Report (CDM, August 2013).
2 Monitoring Summary
During this monitoring event,18 monitoring wells, 4 groundwater recovery wells, 3
surface water stations, 3 creek monitoring points, and 1 private well location were
sampled. This includes monitoring wells MW-42 and MW-43 and private well PW-16,
which are typically sampled only during the October semiannual monitoring event.
However, samples were not obtained in October 2015 from these wells due to land
owner clearing activities (MW-42 and MW-43) and pump electrical issues (PW-16).
Water levels were measured in each of the sampled monitoring wells, along with an
additional 23 monitoring wells. The monitoring locations are shown on Figures 2a and
2b, and the monitoring schedule is presented as Table 1. A summary of the
hydrogeologic zones referenced in Table 1 is presented as Table 2.
The work performed in implementing the monitoring program is consistent with the
Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures, EPA Region 4, Science and
Ecosystem Support Division (SESD), Athens, Georgia. The data collection adhered to the
latest revision of the following SESD Operating Procedures (SESDPROC): SESDPROC- 010
(Logbooks), SESDPROC-005 (Sample and Evidence Management), SESDPROC-100 (Field
pH Measurement), SESDPROC-101 (Field Specific Conductance Measurement),
SESDPROC-102 (Field Temperature Measurement), SESDPROC-105 (Groundwater Level
and Well Depth Measurement), SESDPROC-201 (Surface Water Sampling), SESDPROC-
203 (Pump Operation), SESDPROC-205 (Field Equipment Cleaning and
Decontamination), and SESDPROC-301 (Groundwater Sampling).
Collected samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by TestAmerica
Laboratories in Savannah, Georgia according to SW-846 Method 8260B. The VOC list
reported for this monitoring event is a site -specific list containing 49 VOCsAn addition to
the groundwater and surface water samples, duplicate samples were collected at a
frequency of 10% and submitted to the laboratory as blind duplicates.
Field work for this event was performed by Environmental Monitoring Services, LLC, and
reporting was done by CDM Smith Inc.
3 Results
The data results for the April 2016 semiannual monitoring event are presented in Tables
3 through 8 as outlined below:
Corrective Action Monitoring. Report

• Table 3 presents a summary of water level measurements and calculated
groundwater elevations.
• Table 4 presents a summary of detected compounds for regolith/transition zone
groundwater wells.
• Table '5 presents a summary of.detected compounds for bedrock zone
groundwater wells.
• Table 6 presents a summary of detected compounds for surface water stations.
• Table 7 presents a summary of detected compounds for the private well sampled
during this event.
• Table 8presents a summary of detected compounds for quality
assurance/quality control samples, including the blind field duplicates.
Complete laboratory reports for the April 2016 semiannual monitoring event are
included in a CD format as Appendix A. In addition to groundwater monitoring well
sampling, operational data were collected for the three groundwater recovery wells (RW-
3, RW-4, and RW-5) in service. Groundwater recovery data collected from May 2015 to
April 2016 for these wells is summarized in Table 9. The May 2015 date corresponds to
startup of an -upgraded groundwater extraction and treatment system. .
4 Summary of Results
4.1 Groundwater
Concentrations detected in onsite and offsite monitoring wells this event are consistent
with recent events. In general, monitoring wells show either a stable or declining VOC
- trend. Several wells show improving conditions as a result of groundwater reinjection,
which was started in April 2015. For example, the following decreasing concentrations of
trichloroethene (TCE) have been observed:
• MW-13 1,300 micrograms per.liter (µg/L) in April 2013 and now non -detect
• MW-28 1,700 µg/L in April 2013 and now 19 µg/L
• MW-35 Steady around 40 µg/L from April 2013.to April 2014, now 1.9 µg/L
• MW-60 Between 25 and 41 µg/L from April 2013 to April 2015, now 7.3 µg/L
• MW-61 Between 33 and 45 µg/L from April 2013 to April 2015, now 8.2 µg/L
4.2 Surface Water
No compounds were detected above the laboratory practical quantitation limit (PQL) at
any of the surface water locations during this event. TCE was detected at an estimated
concentration below the PQL of 0.382 µg/L during this event. The detection of VOCs in
_ Slow Creek continues to decline as a result of the new groundwater reinjection system
started in April 2015.

April 2016 Semiannual Event
4.3 Private Wells and Spring
In August 2012, EPA approved revisions to the Corrective Action Monitoring Plan that
adjusted the private well and spring sampling plan. One private well (PW-16) and one
spring location (SP-26) are currently scheduled for annual monitoring in October 2016.
However since PW-16 was not sampled in October 2015, a sample was collected during
the April 2016 event. TCE was not detected at PW-16.
5 Potentiometric Surface Mapping
5.1 Regolith / Transition Zone
A potentiometric surface map representing the regolith/transition zone is presented as
Figure 3.
The groundwater flow patterns in the regolith zone for this event are generally
consistent with the flow patterns observed during the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI).
The direction of groundwater flow is to the north and northwest across the site and
toward Slow Creek and the alluvial valley. Groundwater flow in the alluvial valley is to
the west. The effect of the recovery wells on groundwater flow is evident by the
drawdown cone observed in the northwest portion of the site and extending off site to
the north.
5.2 Bedrock Zone
A potentiometric surface map representing the conditions in the bedrock zone is
presented as Figure 4. .
The groundwater flow patterns in the bedrock zone for this event show a pronounced
influence across the north portion of the site and extending off site due to the ongoing
operation of the onsite recovery wells.
6 Groundwater Recovery
Figure 5 presents the monthly groundwater recovery rates for the currently used
groundwater recovery wells for the last five years.
The TCE concentration in recovered groundwater from RW-3 has remained lower and
relatively stable since the historical high concentration (8,700 µg/L) was detected in
October 2008. The TCE concentration detected during this monitoring event was
240 µg/L. The average flow rate for RW-3_was 2.15 gallons per minute (gpm) over the
period of October 2015 through March 2016.
The TCE concentration in recovered groundwater from RW-4 for this monitoring event
was 410 µg/L. This concentration is within the historical range for this well.
The average flow rate for RW-4 was 26.64 gpm over the period of October 2015 through
March 2016.
Historical TCE concentrations in recovered groundwater from RW-5 have ranged from a
low of 1,700 µg/L to a high of 5,300 µg/L (October 2014). The concentration reported.
Corrective Action Monitoring Report
April 2016 Semiannual Event
during this monitoring event was 2,200 µg/L. The average flow rate for RW-5 was 2.13
gpm over the period of October 2015 through March 2016.
