SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Parsons Infrastructure and Technology Group, Inc. (hereafter referred to as Parsons)
prepared this document for the United States Army Environmental Command (USAEC)
and the Fort Bragg Directorate of Public Works (DPW) under contract number W91ZLK-
05-D-0016, task order 0001. This report presents the Corrective Measures
Implementation Plan for Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 69 in adherence to the
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Directive 9902.3- 2A dated
May 1994 "[Resource Conservation and Recovery Act] RCRA Corrective Action Plan".
The purpose of this document is to present the implementation plan for remedial actions
at SWMU 69.
1.1 CORRECTIVE ACTION OBJECTIVES
Corrective Action Objectives have been developed for SWMU 69 based on the site
related contaminants, physical conditions, identification of applicable �r..egulations, and the
baseline risk assessment. These objectives are to:
• Prevent current human exposure to the chemicals of concern (COCs) in the
groundwater through the ingestion, inhalation and dermal pathways. Currently the
groundwater pathway is incomplete as there are no drinking water wells within or
around SWMU 69, indicating that the potential risk to future residential receptors
is low and within accepted levels.
• Prevent future human exposure to unacceptable levels of COCs in the groundwater
through the ingestion, inhalation and dermal pathways.
• Reduce the levels of COCs in groundwater, in conjunction with monitored natural
attenuation, to meet the North Carolina 2L standards (North Carolina Department
of Environmental and Natural Resources [NCDENR], 2002).
The selected corrective action will consist of enhanced bioremediation and natural
attenuation. The application of enhanced bioremediation and natural attenuation is
expected to reduce contaminant concentrations in groundwater and achieve the best
overall results with respect to such factors as effectiveness, implementability and cost.

1.3 FACILITY BACKGROUND
In 1988, NCDENR, in conjunction with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Region 4, issued a Hazardous Waste Facility Permit to Fort Bragg.
The Former Jeep Dismantling Area was identified in the permit as SWMU 69 and was
listed as requiring a RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) based on the findings of the 1988
Fort Bragg RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA) conducted by Kearney, Inc and DPRA,
INC (Kearney and DPRA, 1988) in accordance with RCRA.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducted an RFI of SWMU 69 from
1994 to 1998. The results of the RFI were presented in the April 1999 USGS report
(USGS, 1999). Operable Unit 4 is a designation of the Installation Restoration Program
(IRP) and consists of SWMU 69, SWMU 63, and Areas of Concern (AOC) E, F, and G.
The RFI concluded that various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) identified during
that investigation have migrated through the soils into the groundwater within and around
the area of SWMU 69. Based on the results of the RFI investigation, NCDENR and Fort
Bragg DPW determined that a supplemental RFI was warranted. Work supporting the
supplemental RFI was performed in 2001 and 2002.
Results of the initial investigation revealed the presence of chlorinated solvents,
pesticides, and petroleum related compounds in the soils and groundwater at SWMU 69.
The Supplemental RFI delineated the Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) in the
1-2
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CM1P\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
soils in the suspected source area and concluded that the soils did not contain significant
levels of COPCs above the screening criteria and therefore do not pose a continuing
source of contamination to the groundwater at SWMU 69. It also concluded that the areas
of detected concentrations of VOCs in the groundwater were the result of either the co -
mingled plumes of several small releases over a widespread area or of multiple small
releases at SWMU 69 over a period of years.
A supplemental sampling event was conducted in 2004 to delineate the concentrations
of VOCs in the groundwater in the area downgradient of SWMU 69. Groundwater
samples were collected from existing select monitoring wells as well as from additional
downgradient temporary monitoring well locations. An additional groundwater sampling
event was conducted in February 2007. During the 2007 sampling event monitoring
wells where contaminant concentrations exceeded regulatory criteria historically were
resampled. A total of 16 wells were sampled in Febraury 2007.
1.4 SITE HISTORY
The SWMU 69 area has been used for military equipment and vehicle storage since
the 1970s and continues to be used for this purpose. The SWMU 69 area was also used
for the dismantlement of jeeps from 1988 to 1990. A visual site inspection conducted
during the 1988 RFA indicated that oil had leaked from old motors onto the unprotected
ground. Stacks of vehicle parts were observed scattered over the ground surface.
1.5 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
1.5.1 Site Geology
Soil types in the Fort Bragg cantonment area range from moderately well drained to
excessively well drained soils in the highly dissected uplands and have brittle loamy or
clayey subsoil. These soils are the weathered by-products of the unconsolidated sandy
sediments of the Coastal Plain. Soils located in the upland areas are generally sandy,
acidic, and low in organic matter and fertility. Soils in the lower elevations are heavier in
texture, contain more organic and clay material, and are poorly drained and swampy
when adjacent to natural waterways. Because the soils often have similar properties, the
transition zones are not always apparent. Several soil types are present within the
immediate vicinity of SWMU 69 ranging from loamy sand to sandy clay.
The major geologic formations in the Fort Bragg area (from oldest to youngest) are the
Carolina Slate Belt, the Cape Fear Formation, and the Middendorf Formation. The
Carolina State Belt is composed of metavolcanic, metasedimentary, and igneous rocks of
Precambrian to Cambrian age and is the basement unit at Fort Bragg. The top of the
Carolina Slate Belt is about 60 feet above mean sea level (msl) near the western edge of
Fort Bragg (approximately 230 feet below ground surface [bgs]).
The Cape Fear and Middendorf Formations are of Late Cretaceous age and are part of
the Atlantic Coastal Plain deposits. The deposits are sediments that were deposited on top
of the basement rocks and generally become thicker and dip toward the southeast. The
Cape Fear and Middendorf Formations are non -marine in origin and are generally
considered representative of deltaic deposits.
f 1-3
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\200I0 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
The Cape Fear Formation is continuous throughout Fort Bragg and consists of pale -to -
medium gray clays and sandy clays with some sand units. The lower part of the Cape
Fear contains beds of greenish -gray clays, some of which have red mottling. The Cape
Fear Formation contains more clay, and the individual quartz -sand beds are generally
thinner and finer -grained than in the Middendorf Formation. The top of the Cape Fear
Formation is located at approximately 80 feet bgs in the area of SWMU 69 and consists
of clay and sandy clay ranging in thickness from 10 to 15 feet.
The Middendorf Formation overlies the Cape Fear Formation, and is exposed at the
ground surface throughout Fort Bragg. The Middendorf is composed of tan, cross -
bedded, medium and fine-grained micaceous quartz sand and clayey sand interbedded
with clay or sandy -clay lenses of limited extent. The basal unit of the Middendorf
Formation within Fort Bragg is described as a sand layer with rounded quartzite pebbles
in a clay matrix. Layers of hematite -cemented sandstone occur locally throughout the
Middendorf Formation as do thin layers of kaolin and kaolin -cemented sandstone.
1.5.2 Groundwater Hydrology
The same three geologic formations that underlie Fort Bragg also form the three fresh-
water aquifers in this area. The saprolite-basement rock aquifer is composed of the
saprolite underlying the Cape Fear Formation and the fracture zones in the uppermost
part of the metamorphic and crystalline Cambrian and Precambrian basement rock. This
saprolite-basement aquifer is generally assumed to yield little water, and there are no
water supply wells known to tap solely into this aquifer.
The Cape Fear aquifer is composed primarily of clays interbedded with silt and silty
sands in the Fort Bragg area. The uppermost portion (5 to 10 feet) of the Cape Fear
Formation is a compact, thick clay unit that serves as an aquitard which restricts the
vertical movement of groundwater between the overlying sediments and the silty -sand
units of the Cape Fear Formation, creating confined aquifer conditions for the
groundwater found in the Cape Fear units below. There are no potable water supply
wells in the Fort Bragg cantonment area that tap into the Cape Fear Formation; however,
east of Fort Bragg, the Cape Fear aquifer is used for both public and industrial water
supply.
The primary water -bearing aquifer in the Fort Bragg area is the Middendorf aquifer,
which consists primarily of coarse -to -fine-grained silty or clayey sands with interbedded
light -gray to tan clay. Groundwater in the Middendorf aquifer is commonly under
unconfined conditions. In some areas of Fort Bragg, a laterally extensive clay layer is
present that separates the Middendorf aquifer into two water -bearing zones. The
groundwater in the Upper Middendorf remains unconfined, whereas the groundwater in
the lower zone is under confined or semi -confined conditions. The sandy soils of Fort
Bragg are highly permeable leached beds of the Upper Middendorf Formation that allow
rapid infiltration of precipitation. Precipitation is the primary source of groundwater
recharge for the Middendorf aquifer.
In the area of SWMU 69, groundwater is located at 35 to 40 feet bgs. The direction of
groundwater flow is to the north-northeast, following the general slope of the ground
surface and the direction of a surface -water drainage (Figure 1.1). Horizontal hydraulic

conductivities were determined from slug tests conducted during the RFI (USGS, 1999)
at nine wells at SWMU 69. Hydraulic conductivities for the Upper Middendorf ranged
from 0.9 to 13 feet per day (ft/day), while the Lower Middendorf ranged from 14 to 78
ft/day.
Using an average horizontal conductivity of 20 ft/day, an average porosity of 30
percent, and horizontal hydraulic gradients of 0.002 to 0.028 feet per foot (ft/ft), the
USGS (1999) calculated the average linear groundwater velocity to range from 0.16 to
2.24 ft/day (58 to 818 feet per year [ft/yr]). The hydraulic conductivities determined from
wells completed in the Lower Middendorf formation were higher overall than those from
wells completed in the Upper Middendorf formation.
1.5.3 Surface Water Hydrology
An east -west trending ridge.divides Fort Bragg into two drainage sub -basins. Surface
water in the northern subbasin drains into tributaries of the Little River, while the surface
water in the southern subbasin drains into tributaries of Cross Creek and Rockfish Creek.
Streambeds generally consist of unconsolidated materials; typically silts, sands, and
clays. ,
Several impoundments are present at Fort Bragg and include Young Lake in the
northern portion of the cantonment area, Lake McArthur.in the northwestern corner of the
installation, Mackellar's Pond in the northeastern part of the installation, and Smith Lake
in the southeastern section. There are no surface water bodies within the area defined as
SWMU 69 other than drainage ditches constructed to drain parking areas. However,
there are two drainages that originate immediately north and northeast:-of`SWMU 69
(Figure 1.1) that may be impacted by contaminants originating from SWMU 69. The
streams are unnamed but have been termed collectively as the Young Lake Tributary in
USGS (1999). The two streams merge immediately south of Butner road and flow north-
northeast toward Young Lake, located approximately 1 mile down stream from SWMU
69.
1.6 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS SITE INVESTIGATIONS
1.6.1 USGS RFI 1994-1999
Initial work performed in 1994-95 by the USGS as part of the RFI included surface
geophysics, a soil -gas survey, completion of 28 soil borings, and the installation of 10
monitoring wells. Seven surface -water and six streambed sediment samples were
collected for analysis during this initial investigation.
Results from the initial sampling revealed the presence of chlorinated solvents,
pesticides, and petroleum -related compounds in the soil and groundwater. The
chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were the
predominant contaminants detected in both soil and groundwater samples. In 1997,
screening samples of both soil and groundwater downgradient from SWMU 69 were
collected and analyzed in order to determine the location for groundwater monitoring
wells that were subsequently installed in order to further delineate groundwater
1-7

contaminants. A second soil -gas survey was conducted in the area defined by the initial
survey as having the highest concentrations of TCE, as well as an adjacent area north of
SWMU 69.
In 1997, 18 additional monitoring wells were installed in order to collect groundwater
samples for laboratory analysis. These wells were screened in both surficial aquifers (the
Upper and Lower Middendorf Formation) as well as the deeper confined aquifer (the
Cape Fear Formation). This brought the total number of monitoring wells installed at
SWMU 69 to 28.
The 1999 RFI identified seven VOCs as COPCs in the groundwater at SWMU 69.
These were benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-
tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2-TeCA), PCE, and TCE. Of these COPCs, the chlorinated
organic compounds (carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-TeCA,
PCE, and TCE) were the most prevalent. The concentrations of PCE and TCE were the
highest of all analytes detected.
COPCs were identified in 1999 by comparing analytical results to the USEPA Region
III Risk Based Concentrations (RBCs) for tap water (USEPA, 1998), the USEPA
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) (USEPA, 1996), and the NC Groundwater
Standards (NCDENR, 2002). Three semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) (bis(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, and n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine), one
pesticide (dieldrin), and five metals (aluminum, iron, lead, manganese, and vanadium)
were also identified as COPCs in the groundwater.
A total of 63 soils samples were collected by the USGS during their investigations and
compared to the USEPA Region 3 RBCs. Three SVOCs (benzidine, benzo(a)pyrene, and
benzo(g,h,i)perylene), one polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) (Aroclor 1260), iron, and
vanadium were identified as COPCs in the surface soils. No COPCs were identified in
the subsurface soils.
In 1998, surface -water and sediment samples were collected by the USGS from five
locations along the Young Lake Tributary. 1,1,2,2-TeCA was detected in two surface -
water samples collected from downstream surface water sampling locations. PCE and
TCE were also detected at low estimated levels in the same two samples. Chloromethane
and 1,1,2,2-TeCA were determined to be COPCs in the surface water in the two unnamed
tributaries to Young Lake. The PCE and TCE detections were below the screening
criteria used at that time (USEPA Region III RBCs and the 1996 NCDENR Water
Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters of North Carolina). TCE was detected in
one of the sediment samples from the streambeds (below the screening criteria).
The USGS concluded that the following COPCs identified in the groundwater:
benzidine, ben_ zo(a)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dieldrin, and Aroclor 1260, were not
considered to be environmentally significant because of their limited distribution, low
concentrations, and infrequent detections above the screening criteria. They also
concluded that the chlorinated organic compounds had migrated to the north-northeast
within the Middendorf aquifer to a discharge area at the tributary to Young Lake and to
the underlying Cape Fear aquifer. The USGS Report recommended further definition of
the chlorinated solvent contamination in the soil and groundwater.

1.6.2 Supplemental RFI (USACE) 2001-2002
The first phase of work for the Supplemental RFI consisted of collecting soil samples
from within the suspected source area as well as groundwater samples from the 28
existing groundwater wells. The second phase of this Supplemental RFI also collected a
series of groundwater grab samples from numerous locations based on the conceptual site
model (CSM) in order to further delineate the groundwater contamination. The data
collected during this supplemental work is presented in the Site Conceptual Model Report
for the Supplemental RHInvestigations of SWMU 69, Fort Bragg, NC (USACE, 2003).
1.6.3 Surface and Subsurface Soil
Twenty-four soil borings were completed throughout the suspected source area. A
total of 24 surface soil and 54 subsurface soil samples were collected for laboratory
analysis from the borings based on field screening data and observations collected during
drilling. The soil samples were analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, PCBs, and chlorinated
pesticides, based on results from the previous investigations. Results of the soil analyses
were compared to the USEPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs) for
residential soils and to the North Carolina Soil to Groundwater concentrations
(NCDENR, 2002).
Five pesticide compounds (dieldrin, aldrin, methyoxychlor, 4'4-DDE and 4'4-DDT)
and five SVOC compounds (benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene,
and pyrene) were detected in some samples. Aroclor-1260 was the only PCB detected in
' 1 the soils. Seventeen VOCs were detected at least once in the 78 samples: 1,2,3-
__ ' trichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-trichloroebenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene; 1,3,5-
trimethylbenzene, 1,3-dichloropeopane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 2-buf h e, acetone,
chloroform, chloromethane, methyl-tert-butyl-ether (MTBE), naphthalene, styrene,
tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, toluene, and total xylenes. TCE, PCE and toluene
were detected most frequently.
None of the analytes detected in either the surface or subsurface soil samples exceeded
the USEPA Region 9 PRG screening values. Two compounds, dieldrin and TCE, had
detections that exceeded NC Soil to Groundwater limits. TCE exceeded the NC soil to
groundwater value (18.3 micrograms per kilogram [jig/kg]) in 8 of the 54 subsurface
samples and dieldrin exceeded this value (1.13 µg/kg) in 10 subsurface soil samples.
Seven of these dieldrin detections are thought to be the result of laboratory
contamination, as dieldrin was also detected in the laboratory method blank at 1.3 µg/kg.
Detections of TCE above the NC soil screening level ranged from 19 to 110 µg/kg.
The depth of the groundwater in this area of SWMU 69 averages 38.5 feet bgs. Only two
of the detections of dieldrin and TCE that exceeded the soil to groundwater criteria were
from depths greater than 25 feet bgs, the remaining detections were all from depths
between 4 to 25 feet bgs, with concentrations declining with depth' in the samples
collected below 25 feet bgs.
There was no correlation between any elevated PID response and the concentrations of
the VOCs detected in the soil samples. Nor did any concentrations of TCE appear to
correlate directly with the amount of clay in any soil samples, although the two highest
y _ 1-9

� 1
concentrations of TCE were from samples that contained stiff gray clay, a surface sample
and a sample from 35 to 36 feet bgs.
There were no COPCs identified in the subsurface soils during the initial RFI and the
excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) calculated for human receptors to the surface soils
were within range of acceptable risk levels. Based on the infrequent detection of COPCs
in the soils during the Supplemental RFI and the low levels detected, it was concluded by
the USACE that the soils at SWMU 69 do not to pose a risk to human receptors.
Therefore, it was concluded that no soil corrective action was necessary (USACE, 2006).
1.6.4 Groundwater
The second phase of the Supplemental RFI consisted of installing piezometers to
obtain more detailed information about the groundwater elevations across the area.
Groundwater grab samples were also collected using direct push technology. Following
the EPA Triad methodology, samples were analyzed in the field in order to provide real-
time data. This phase of the Supplemental RFI was conducted in order to determine if the
areas of higher concentrations were indicative of past source areas or if they represented
zones of residual dense non -aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL).
A total of 22 piezometers were installed around the area of the two small streams and
the area south of Butner Road in order to obtain more detailed information concerning the
direction of groundwater flow in this area and to construct a more realistic potentiometric
surface map. Initial groundwater samples for field analysis were collected from the 22
piezometer locations. A direct-sparging ion -trap mass spectrometer was used to analyze
groundwater samples using EPA Method SW8265. A total of 81 primary samples were
collected and analyzed for TCE, PCE, and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), based on
the results of the previous investigations (Table 1.1). Figure 1.2 presents groundwater
analytical data collected from site monitoring wells and grab samples collected using
direct push drilling methods. Figure 1.3 depicts the interpreted extent of the SWMU 69
VOC plume based on the direct push grab sampling and groundwater monitoring well
sampling conducted in 2001. The interpreted plume extent depicted in Figure 1.3
encompasses a total area of approximately 36 acres, as defined by the 1 microgram per
liter (µg/L) TCE contour. In addition , a total of 5 CAH hot spots were defined based on
data collected in 2001 (Figure 1.3).
Results from this event provided a more detailed vertical and horizontal delineation of
the PCE/TCE in the groundwater and support the conclusion that the chlorinated solvent
contamination detected in the groundwater could be from two or more separate releases.
Widespread minor concentrations are most likely remnants of previous small releases. In
this case, dispersion and dilution processes were the major contributors to COC
concentration reductions because of the subsurface conditions. Areas of significantly
higher concentrations detected during this event coincided with those previously
reported. Dissolved levels of PCE/TCE detected in the groundwater do not approach
concentrations that would indicate the presence of dense non -aqueous phase liquids
(Cohen and Mercier, 1993).

1.6.5 2004 Sampling Event
The Supplemental RFI recommended that an additional groundwater well be installed
downgradient of 69MW21D toward Young Lake to define the downgradient extent of the
VOCs in the groundwater. In 2004, a decision was made by Fort Bragg to obtain
groundwater samples from downgradient locations and install downgradient wells using
direct push methods. A very stiff clay layer was encountered during drilling and only
grab samples could be obtained using the direct push equipment. Three groundwater grab
samples were collected, two from the west side of the tributary for Young's Lake and one
from the east side.
Ten existing wells were also sampled at this time and three surface water samples
were collected. Results of the groundwater grab sample collected from the most
downgradient location on the west side of the stream were non -detect; however, TCE was
detected on the east side of the stream. Results from the 2004 sampling event are
presented on Table 1.1. Analytical results from the monitoring wells sampled were
similar to previous sampling results. All lab data, field sampling data sheets, and the
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Report for this data are located in Appendix
E of USACE, 2006.
NCDENR has requested that a permanent well be installed in the downgradient area of
SWMU 69 north of Butner Road. The purpose of this new well will be to act as a sentry
well below the toe of the SWMU69 plume and will act as a sampling point to determine
if the SWMU69 plume is migrating in the downgradient direction. The proposed location
of this well (to be installed by conventional drilling methods) is presented in Section 3 as
part of the proposed remedial action presentation. The proposed well location is based on
the results of the downgradient grab samples and discussions with NCDENR.
1.6.6 2007 Groundwater Sampling Event
A groundwater monitoring event was conducted in February 2007 to collect an up-to-
date data set to support the SWMU 69 remedial design. Table 1.1 summarizes the VOC
data collected during this sampling event as well as relevant historic data. The February
2007 TCE in groundwater data set is also depicted on Figure 1.4 along with an updated
plume foot print based on the 1.0 µg/L contour.
During the February 2007 sampling event PCE and TCE were detected at
concentrations above the NC 2L standards at a total of 5 and 9 locations, respectively.
The maximum PCE concentration of 13.8 µg/L was detected at 69MW17S while the
maximum TCE concentration of 53.7 µg/L was detected at 69MW18D. 1,1,2,2-TeCA
was also detected at 2 locations at concentrations that exceeded the NC 2L standard, with
a maximum detected concentration of 3.31 µg/L (69MW22D). PCE and TCE
concentrations at the majority of monitoring wells have been generally decreasing for at
least the last 5 to 6 years, with the notable exceptions of monitoring wells 69MW 12,
69MW16S, 69MW-18D, and 69MW19D (Table 1.1).

-- 1.6.7 Surface Water and Sediment
Two unnamed intermittent streams (termed "unnamed Young Lake Tributaries" by the
USGS) drain the hillside north of SWMU 69. Both streams empty their contents
eventually. into Young Lake, located approximately I mile to the north-northeast. The
surficial groundwater located in the uppgr and lower Middendorf Formation is the
primary source of surface water in the streams. During heavy rain events the streams also
collect surface water runoff from the SWMU 69 area as well as the area to the north of
SWMU 69.
A total of fifteen surface -water samples have been collected during the various
investigative phases at SWMU 69. Figure 1.5 shows the locations _of each sample and
presents a summary of the analytical results. Five samples were collected in 1998, four
samples in 2001 (an additional sample was planned; however, the stream was dry in that
location), and three samples in 2003. Three additional samples were collected in 2006.
The analytical data for these samples is summarized in Table 1.2. Several of these
samples have been collected from the same location over a period of eight years (Figure
1.5). Both surface -water and sediment samples collected in 2001 and 2003 were from the
same locations,.as the samples collected by the USGS in order to confirm the previous
detections.
Table 1.2 summarizes the surface water detections and compares these results to the
NCDENR screening criteria for protection of human health as described by North
- Carolina Rule 15A NCAC 213, updated in 2004. 1,1,2,2-TeCA, PCE, TCE, and cis-1,2-
DCE have all been detected sporadically in the surface water. However, none of these
detections have exceeded the NCDENR screening criteria for the pratectioii of human
health indicating that the surface water at SWMU 69 does not currently present a risk to
human receptors.
1.7 HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT
A human health risk assessment was performed by ABB, INC. in 1995 after the initial
RCRA RFI was performed (USACE 2006). The incremental life time cancer risk (ILCR)
for carcinogens and hazard index for non -carcinogens were calculated for exposure of
future excavation workers to surface soils, and adult and child residents to surface soils,
subsurface soils, and groundwater. There were no human health COPCs identified for
subsurface soils.
For the excavation worker, the ILCR associated with exposure to surface soils was 7 x
10-8 and had a hazard index (HI) of 0.01. Both the adult and child resident exposure to
surface soils was 1 x 10-5. Hazard Indices were 0.16 and 0.6, respectively. Incremental
levels of risk for workers were minimal and all levels are within the USEPA Region 4's
levels of acceptable risk (1 x 10-5 to 1 x 10-4) and require no corrective action. This site
currently has an industrial use, is covered in gravel and asphalt, and is behind a locked
fence. Because this site has a non-residential use, there are no current risks to residential
receptors.
1-21
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
Risks for residential receptors for the groundwater pathway were also calculated. The
maor contributors to a cancer risk exceeding the ] 0- level were tetrachloroethene (3 x
10- ), trichloroethene (3 x 10-5), chloroform (2 x 10-5) and arsenic (5 x 10-4). Because
arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Middendorf Formation, ABB (1995)
concluded that the risk attributable to arsenic was overestimated. Also, arsenic was only
detected in 3 of the 28 groundwater samples and all arsenic levels detected were below
the USEPA MCLs and NC 2L values.
Risks for future receptors for the groundwater pathway were reevaluated using the
more current 2002 sampling data. Currently, drinking water at Fort Bragg is from surface
water sources. Therefore, the pathway is not complete for groundwater and no risk to
current human receptors exists from SWMU 69 site groundwater. However, there is
some potential for future groundwater contaminant plume discharge to the unnamed
tributaries to Young Lake, which would pose a risk to surface water receptors. In
addition, the state of North Carolina requires that groundwater be remediated to the NC
Groundwater 2L standards, thus remediation is warranted on this site.
Exposure point concentrations (EPC) were calculated by using the arithmetic average
of the groundwater concentrations for each of the four COPCs following EPA Region 4
guidance (Table 1.3). These averages were calculated by using a value equal to '/2 the
reporting limit for those samples that did not have a detection reported. Exposure point
calculations are presented in Appendix B of the Final Corrective Measures Study
document (Parsons, 2007a). Groundwater data from wells upgradient of SWMU 69
(69MW7, 69MW22D, 69MW20) were omitted as well as data from wells completed in
the lower Cape Fear aquifer (69MW8, 69MW22C, 69MW21Q. The EPC is considered
to be reasonable maximum exposure (RME) for future receptors to the groundwater.
1.7.1 Uncertainties
Three major types of uncertainties should be considered when reviewing the results of
the exposure assessment:
1. Uncertainties associated with predicting future land use,
2. Uncertainties associated with estimating constituent concentrations at receptor
locations, and
3. Uncertainties associated with assumptions used in the exposure models.
The uncertainties associated with the SWMU69 exposure assessment are presented in
detail in the final SWMU 69 Corrective Measures Study (Parsons 2007a).

SECTION 3
CORRECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 'REMEDIAL DESIGN APPROACH
The enhanced anaerobic bioremediation technology will be applied to five areas
within the SWMU 69 TCE plume where TCE concentrations have historically been
highest (Figure 3.1). The application of enhanced bioremediation in these "hot spot"
areas is intended to reduce contaminant mass present in the subsurface and thereby
reduce the time required for natural attenuation to reach NC 2L standards in groundwater
within the SWMU 69 plume extent. The.mixed substrate for this application will consist
of a soluble- substrate (sodium lactate) to provide an immediate mass of bioavailable
organic carbon to drive geochemistry into anaerobic conditions, and food -grade vegetable
oil to provide a slow release source of organic carbon to drive reductive dechlorination
over the long term. This mixture typically supports anaerobic biodegradation for 4 to 6
years. A pH buffering product consisting of a proprietary mixture of naturally occurring
%y } long lasting buffering agents, water, dispersants, and food grade preservatives will be
added to maintain neutral pH conditions within each reaction area. Microbial populations
capable of dechlorinating chlorinated solvents have been shown to `require near neutral
pH conditions (pH greater than 6) to grow effectively (Volkering and Pijls, 2004),
making pH buffering an important factor in successful enhanced bioremediation
applications.
The injection well network in each hot spot will consist of approximately 10 direct
push injection points installed in overlapping arcs or lines. The spacing between the
injection points. will be approximately 9 to 10 feet to ensure adequate substrate
distribution. Half of the injection points will be completed as temporary small diameter
wells to allow for future injections of amendments and additional organic substrate if
necessary. During the initial injection approximately 1,500 gallons of organic substrate
mixture and pH amendment will be injected at each point, flooding the area with organic
carbon.
After the first twelve months of performance monitoring, the geochemical data and
progress of COC degradation in the hot spots will be reviewed. If degradation is lagging
and conditions are sufficiently anaerobic, a supplemental volume of approximately 200 to
300 gallons of dilute bioaugmentation culture and a pH amendment may be injected into
each of the small diameter wells. The bioaugmentation culture will consist of a non-
pathogenic, naturally occurring population of microbial strains known to be capable of
complete dechlorination of PCE, TCE, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and its degradation
products (cis-1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride). If it is applied the bioaugmentation culture
will be provided by SIREM Laboratories, which has developed a bioaugmentation
f

S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CM1P\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
product called KB-1 that was specifically developed for the degradation of PCE and
TCE. A second injection of organic substrate may be applied to the SMWU 69 hot spot
areas in the event that the initial injection' does not provide adequate organic carbon to the
subsurface.
3.2 PERMITTING AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
3.2.1 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendment Permit (RCRA permit)
A Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendment (HSWA) permit is currently in place at
Fort Bragg.. The Fort Bragg HSWA permit was due for renewal in 2007 and the renewal
application has been submitted to NCDENR for review. The permit renewal application
briefly presents remedial activities planned at SWMU 69 as presented in more detail in
this document. There will be a 30-day public comment period associated with the
HSWA permit application. After the comment period is concluded the application will
be finalized and the HSWA permit will be renewed. The new HSWA permit will include
a description of the corrective actions at SWMU 69.
3.2.2 Underground Injection Permitting
An underground injection permit is required for the injection activities at SWMU 69.
The injection permit will be obtained from the NCDENR Aquifer Protection Section
through a formal application and review process. The application for the underground
injection permit for injection activities at SWMU 69 is attached as Appendix B.
3.2.3 Notifications
Fort Bragg DPW, NCDENR, and USAEC will be kept abreast of field schedule
developments through regularly scheduled bi-weekly conference calls. The NCDENR
Aquifer Protection Section will not typically attend the biweekly project conference calls.
Therefore the NCDENR Aquifer Protection Section Representative (Qu Qi) will be
updated periodically by Parsons or by the project NCDENR representative (Marti
Morgan).
3.2.4 Storm Water Pollution Prevention
It is anticipated that the ground surface and related vegetation at SWMU 69 will be
disturbed only minimally during injection activities at the five hot -spot areas because
drilling activities will be limited to direct push drilling and vehicle traffic off currently
established roads will be minimal. Thus, a storm water pollution prevention plan is not
required for this effort.
3.2.5 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures
Oils stored on -site (soy bean oil) are subject to regulation under 40 CFR 112, Oil
Pollution Prevention. The total volume of vegetable oil stored on site will be greater than
the 1,320 gallon limit specified in the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure
(SPCC) regulations under 40 CFR 112 Subpart C. The emulsion product and pH buffer
also planned for injection at SWMU 69 do not fall under this regulation as these products
3-2
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
= do not have similar physical properties as oil (e.g., solubility and density) and the
volumes of these products stored on site will be relatively low (less than 1,320 gallons).
A SPCC plan for both SWMU 69 and SWMU 103 will be developed and published
under a separate cover.
3.3 REMEDIAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
3.3.1 Mobilization
Mobilization activities will commence upon acceptance of the final SWMU 69 CMIP
and the receipt of all required permits and authorizations as discussed in Section 3.2.
Mobilization activities will consist of the following tasks:
• Coordination of utility clearances for all drilling locations.
• Site access coordination with Fort Bragg. The intended drilling and injection areas
are not located in high security or limited access areas. However, facility
coordination will be necessary for proper sighting of equipment and materials.
• Delivery of organic substrates and injection equipment.
• Mobilization of one or two drilling contractors to support the monitoring well
installation activities and the direct push injection activities.
• Installation of silt fencing on the downhill side of each injection area as well as the
substrate staging and injection area.
3.3.2 Monitoring Well Installation
Two new monitoring wells (69MW23 and 69MW 161) will be installed to complete the
groundwater monitoring network required to evaluate the performance of natural
attenuation at SWMU 69. 69MW23 will be installed north of the intersection of Butner
and Varsity Roads and 69MW13I will be installed in the immediate vicinity of existing
wells 69MW16S and 69MW16D, as presented on Figure 3.1. 69MW23 will be installed
such that the screen interval will be located at 25 to 35 feet bgs while 69MW16M will be
installed such that the screen interval is located at approximately 31 to 41 feet bgs,
between the screen intervals at 69MW16S and 69MWI6D.
69MW23 will be installed using hollow stem auger drilling methods and will be
constructed of two inch inside diameter (ID) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) well materials.
The 69MW23 boring will be advanced to the boring termination depth using 4-1/4 inch
ID hollow stem augers. After the augers are advanced to depth the monitoring well will
be installed inside the auger. After the monitoring well is installed the augers will be
withdrawn, and filter sand (#10-20) will be emplaced within the annular space between
the outside of the PVC screen and the inside of the borehole to a level approximately 2
feet above the top of the PVC screen. The remaining annular space will be sealed with
approximately 2 feet of bentonite chips immediately above the sand filter pack and
concrete/bentonite grout from the top of the bentonite chip seal to approximately 2 feet
3-3
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
below ground surface. The top of the casing will be finished with the installation of a
water tight "J-plug" cap within a steel "stick-up" type surface completion set in a
concrete collar.
69MW16I will be installed using direct push drilling methods and will be constructed
of 0.75 or one inch ID PVC well materials. The screen materials used to install
69MW 16M will consist of "pre -packed" screens that have sand packs already installed
around the screens prior to installation. The boring for 69MW16M will be advanced
using 2.125 or 3.25-inch Geoprobe rods until the total depth of the boring (41 feet) is
reached. After the total boring depth is reached the pre -packed screens and appropriate
riser pipe will be installed inside the Geoprobe rod and the rod will be withdrawn to
allow the natural aquifer matrix to collapse around the pre -packed screens and riser pipe.
A concrete/bentonite slurry will be tremmied into the borehole from the top of natural
collapse to ground surface to serve as a sanitary seal around the well casing. The new
well will be completed by installing a stick-up type locking steel well completion over
the PVC well casing. The well completion will be surrounded at groundsurface with a
concrete collar to ensure that the completion remains stable.
The installation of new permanent monitoring well 69MW23 will be conducted in
accordance with North Carolina State regulations as specified in Subchapter 2C Section
.0100 of the North Carolina Administrative Code. 69MW19I will not be installed in
accordance with Subchapter 2C Section .0100 of the North Carolina Administrative Code
in that a bentonite chip seal will not be installed about the pre -packed screen interval.
3.3.3 Organic Substrate Injection
3:3.3.1 Substrate Injection Wells
A total of 62 injection locations will be installed in 5 injection areas (coinciding with 5
previously identified hot spots). 31 of the 62 injection locations will be installed as
temporary small diameter PVC wells. The temporary PVC injection wells will consist of
0.75-inch or 1-inch ID PVC injection wells installed using a direct push rig. The
approximate orientation of these points is shown on Figures 3.2 and 3.3.
The injection points will be constructed with screen lengths of up to 15 feet and will
be installed as specified in Table 3.1. The direct push drilling equipment will advance
2.125-inch outside diameter (OD) steel casing through the vadose zone and into the
saturated zone. The steel outer casing will be outfitted with an expendable tip. After the
steel direct push casing has been advanced to approximately 1-foot below the bottom of
the screened interval the steel casing will be pulled back approximately 1-foot to dislodge
the expendable steel point. After the expendable point has been dislodged the well will
be installed inside the steel direct push casing.
Each injection well will consist of 10 to 20 feet (depending on the treatment area) of
0.75-inch or 1-inch ID machine slotted Schedule 40 PVC screen flush threaded to the
appropriate length of non -slotted riser pipe. The riser pipe will extend from the top of the
screen interval to approximately 2-feet above ground surface. The entire well stick,
consisting of PVC screen and casing will be installed inside the steel direct push casing
and the steel casing will be withdrawn to allow the natural formation material to collapse

around the PVC injection well. The steel direct push casing will be entirely withdrawn
from around the injection well and the depth to natural collapse will be measured using a
steel tape attached to a sounding weight. In the event that natural soils do not collapse
around the screen interval the annular space between the outside of the PVC casing and
the wall of the borehole will be filled with new, clean 20-40 silica well sand. If the
natural soils collapse to above the top of the screened interval than the remaining open
annular space will be filled with sodium bentonite chips of granular bentonite as
appropriate. Once each well is installed a threaded cap will be installed in the top of the
well casing to seal the well.
Each injection well will be completed with a temporary PVC surface casing to protect
the injection well from potential damage. The temporary PVC surface casing will consist
of a 5-foot section of 4" PVC schedule 40 pipe that will be installed around the injection
well and buried in the ground to approximately 2-3 feet in depth. A bentonite surface
sanitary seal will be installed at the bottom of the surface completion to keep surface
water from infiltrating down the borehole. A threaded PVC cap will be installed at the
top of the completion casing to seal the completion.
3.3.3.2 Substrate Direct Injection Points
Substrate will be injected into the subsurface directly through temporarily installed
steel GeoprobeTM rods and screen point sampling tools (SP 15 or SP 16 as appropriate) at
one half of the injection locations (locations .that will not be completed as temporary
injection wells). Substrate injection at these "direct injection" locations will be
conducted in the same way as the injection wells except that the substrate will be injected
into the subsurface directly through the GeoprobeTM rods instead of through PVC well Y
casings. The GeoprobeTM rods and associated tool string will be removed after injection
activities are complete at each point and thus will not remain in the ground for more than
a few days. The locations of the proposed injection wells and points are depicted in
Figures 3.2 and 3.3.
3.3.3.3 Substrates
The injection fluid that will be deployed at SWMU 69 will consist of a four part
emulsion. The injection fluid will consist of approximately 103,000 gallons of water,
5,100 gallons of neat soybean oil, 870 gallons of a pre -mixed soybean oil -in -water
emulsion product (containing soybean oil and sodium lactate), and approximately 720
gallons of pH buffering product.
The injection fluid was designed specifically for each injection area at SWMU 69 by
first calculating the geometric and hydraulic properties of the intended injection areas
such as the cross sectional area, the intended lateral dimensions, volume of pore water
present in each area during injection, and the volume of groundwater that will flow
through each treatment zone during the intended life expectancy of 5 years. These
properties were then used to calculate the hydrogen demand that must be met to deplete
competing electron acceptors (e.g., dissolved oxygen and iron reduction and methane
production) as well as the hydrogen demand required to reductively dechlorinate the
contaminant mass present at each injection area. A safety factor of 5 was then applied to
3-8
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
develop a conservative hydrogen loading requirement that is sufficient to deplete all
known electron acceptors as well as any potential unknown or unquantifiable
inefficiencies or electron consumers. The total hydrogen demand was then converted to
substrate demand by dividing the hydrogen demand (in moles of molecular hydrogen) by
the production capacity of the sum of the individual electron donors to be applied at
SWMU 69. The resulting substrate donor demand and the hydraulic characteristics of
each injection area were then used to design the actual injection fluid for each injection
area.. The design calculations for each injection area are presented in Appendix A and
are summarized in Table 3.1.
Neat Soybean Oil
Food -grade soybean oil and liquid lecithin will be obtained from a commercial
supplier such as Solae, Inc. of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Vegetable oil and lecithin are food -
grade materials extracted from soy beans and are used in the food industry for a wide
variety of applications. A soybean oil -lecithin mixture with a ratio of 40 pounds soybean
oil to 1.0 pound lecithin will be prepared by the vendor prior to shipment to Fort Bragg.
Pure soybean oil/lecithin emulsion will be shipped to the site in 1,900 pound (243 gallon)
totes or in bulk tanker trailers.
Soybean' oil is relatively insoluble in water, thus lecithin is added as an emulsification
agent so that the soybean oil can be emulsified with water prior to injection. This
emulsification step is taken to increase the injection volume (e.g., 1 part oil and 9 parts
water) without increasing the vegetable oil volume. The result is that a relatively small
volume of vegetable oil (2,515 gallons) can be distributed into a relatively large volume
of aquifer matrix (approximately 200,000 cubic feet). This will distribute -.vegetable oil
such that the vegetable oil occupies only a small portion (2.6 perce4y of the interstitial
void spaces of the aquifer matrix. In this way, a flow -through treatment bio-barrier is
developed that allows groundwater to continue to flow through the treatment cell,
bringing dissolved contaminant mass with it for treatment within the treatment zone.
After injection the vegetable oil -in -water emulsion will ultimately break and be
distributed as small droplets of oil trapped within the aquifer matrix. This entrapped oil
does not migrate with advective groundwater flow, rather it remains in place as a
relatively immobile, slowly soluble, long-term source of organic carbon.
Soybean Oil -in -Water Emulsion Product
A portion of the soybean oil loading that will be injected at SWMU 69 will be added
in the form of a pre -emulsified soybean oil -in -water emulsion product. This product will
be shipped to Fort Bragg as a pre-processed micro -emulsion with an oil droplet size of
less than one micron which is considerably smaller than the 10 to 20 micron median
droplet size of the field mixed emulsion discussed above. The extremely small droplet
size of the emulsion product allows the soybean oil associated with this product to travel
short distances in the direction of groundwater flow after injection. The travel distance is
typically on the order of 20 to 50 feet depending on the groundwater flow velocity and
the mean pore throat size of the soil matrix. It is expected that the migration distance at
Fort Bragg will be toward the upper end of that range due to the relatively high
groundwater flow rates observed at SWMU 69. The migration of the emulsion product
f 3-9
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
_ F
will result in the expansion of the each enhanced bioremediation treatment area, the %
extension of the residence time in the treatment area, and increased treatment efficiency.
The emulsion product also contains a small amount of sodium lactate that will serve as
a source of completely soluble organic carbon to the subsurface. The calculated substrate
demand (appendix A) will be completely fulfilled by the soybean oil mass that is being
injected. Thus, the sodium lactate mass represents extra organic carbon mass that will
likely be used only to condition the groundwater geochemistry ahead of the soybean oil
derived organic carbon.
pH Buffering Product
A pH buffering product consisting of a mixture of proprietary naturally occurring long
lasting buffering agents, water, dispersants, and food grade preservatives will be injected
into the subsurface at SWMU 69 along with the organic substrates. The pH buffering
product will be added to support pH conditions in the near neutral range by neutralizing
naturally occurring acidic compounds as well as organic acids produced during the
fermentation of the vegetable oil. pH conditions must be supported above approximately
pH 6 in order for biotic reductive dechlorination to occur efficiently (Volkering and Pijis,
2004).
Injection Water
Potable water from a nearby fire hydrant or approved surface water impoundment will
be used in conjunction with extracted site groundwater to dilute the organic substrates
prior to injection. Potable water . and groundwater will serve as a dispersant for the
soybean oil -in -water emulsion as well as a carrier for the pH product. Approximately 97
percent of the total fluid that will be injected at SWMU 69 will be water. The injection
fluid will consist primarily of water in order to ensure adequate distribution of the organic
substrates to avoid physically clogging soil pore throats with soybean oil or the
development of excessive biofouling, which would cause an unacceptable decrease in site
soil permeability and result in groundwater flow deflection. It is expected that
approximately 50 percent of the makeup water for the injections will consist of potable
hydrant or surface water with the remaining consisting of untreated groundwater.
However, if groundwater cannot be extracted from existing SWMU 69 wells at a
reasonable rate then a larger percentage -of potable water may be used to maintain the
project schedule. The makeup water used during the SWMU69 injections will be
characterized through VOC analysis (USEPA Method 8260B) and this characterization
data will be reported in the corrective measures implementation report.
3.3.3.3 Substrate Preparation and Emplacement
Substrate injection activities will begin with the delivery and staging of the organic
substrates and the setup of a portable injection system at SWMU 69. The injection
system will be shipped to Fort Bragg on; one or two pallets and will be setup in a rental
cargo van to protect the.system from inclement weather. The injection system will be
staged near existing monitoring well 69MW16S in close proximity to an existing fire
hydrant. In the event that the fire hydrant is unavailable for use, surface water from a

nearly approved impoundment will be trucked to the site in a rented or subcontracted
water truck.
Potable water will be supplied to the injection system by running a high density
polyethylene (HDPE) line from the fire hydrant or water truck to a large storage tank
(frac tank). The storage tank will be filled periodically during injection and the full tank
will serve as the water supply during injection. The water tank will be disconnected from
the hydrant or water truck when it is not being filled. The supply line from the hydrant or
water truck will be situated such that an air gap of at least twice the supply line diameter
is established and maintained in order to prevent back flushing into the hydrant. The air
gap will conform to ASME A112.1.2 — 1991; Air Gaps In Plumbing Systems.
A second HDPE line will be run from the bottom valve on the storage tank to the
substrate blending and mixing system. The organic substrates and the pH amendment
product will then be amended into the potable water at the correct dosage rate inline
through a series of dosimeters. A static high sheer in -line mixer will be used to emulsify
the soybean oil -lecithin mixture and potable water to form an oil -in -water emulsion. This
oil -in -water emulsion will then be pumped to each injection area with an air operated
diaphragm pump (or similar) through HDPE conveyance lines. The system that will be
staged in the -vicinity of 69MW 16S is depicted in Figure 3.4.
Within each injection area (Figures 3.2 and 3.3) site groundwater will be extracted
from existing groundwater monitoring wells for re -injection with the oil -in -water
emulsion being piped from the 69MW16S staging area. Submersible pumps will be
temporarily installed in one or two monitoring wells (depending on the injection area) to
supply site water for injection. The discharge lines from the submersible. pumps will be
tied in to the supply line coming from the injection system at 69N4W 16S through a
manifold consisting of valves and flow meters designed to measure flow from the
groundwater extraction pumps and flow coming from the injection system (Figure 3.5).
The mixtures of site groundwater and potable water will be different for each injection
area and will depend on the rate at which groundwater can be extracted from the
formation. However, the final mixture of organic substrate and water will conform to the
design calculations summarized in Table 3.1 and presented in Appendix A.
After the oil -in -water emulsion from the injection system has been diluted with site
groundwater it will be injected into a combination of temporary injection wells and
injection points. It is expected that the total oil -in -water emulsion flow (10 to 20 gallons
per minute [gpm]) will be split so that substrate can be injected into two to four injection
locations at the same time (5 to 10 gpm per location). Substrate injection will start at
each location at a relatively low rate for the first 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that all aspects
of the system are in order. During that period., system pressures will be monitored and
flow rate adjustments made as needed to avoid excessive pressure which could constitute
a health and safety hazard. Removal of all air from the system will be ensured by
checking the air release vents installed on each of the injection location risers.
Once this initial volume of substrate is injected, the injection rate will be increased to
the maximum rate possible without exceeding safe operating pressures or the overburden
pressure of the formation (<40 pounds per square inch [psi]). After the appropriate
volume of the emulsion has been injected into the subsurface the emulsion flow will be

stopped and system pressure will be reduced to zero prior to disconnecting any injection --
lines.
Assuming the volumes of emulsion/water mixture presented in Table 3.1 can be
successfully injected into the formation equally and radial along the entire length of each
injection screen interval, and assuming 25 percent effective porosity in the subsurface,
this should provide a column of substrate (evenly distributed as droplets throughout the
aquifer material) approximately 11 to 12 feet in diameter around each substrate injection
location. The effective oil saturation in the subsurface after injection is complete is
targeted at approximately 2.6 percent of the effective aquifer matrix porosity. During the
course of injection, downgradient wells will be visually monitored to check for emulsion
breakthrough.
After the process has been completed, the presence of phase -separated oil emulsion in
the substrate injection wells and the impact on the groundwater table elevation will be
measured with an oil -water interface probe. The presence of vegetable oil or vegetable
oil emulsion in nearby wells will also be monitored visually by collecting samples with a
clear polyethylene bailer.
3.3.4 Site Restoration
After well installation and substrate injection activities are complete any areas that
were disturbed by these activities will be returned to their pre -mobilization state. It is
expected that site restoration activities will be limited to filling in ruts and planting grass
seed and removal of silt fencing. Major disturbances are not expected because off -road
vehicle usage will be limited to a pickup truck mounted direct push drilling rig and
potentially a small site support vehicle.
3.3.5 Final Site Survey
After well installation and substrate injection'activities are complete all well locations
will be surveyed. The new permanent monitoring well location will be surveyed by a
state licensed land surveyor while the injection well locations will be surveyed by
Parsons using a global positioning system (GPS) or by taping from existing well
locations. In addition, well completion records for the two new permanent monitoring
wells will be completed and submitted to Fort Bragg DPW. All new well location data
will be presented in the Corrective Measures Implementation Report (CMIR).
3.4 PERFORMANCE MONITORING
3.4.1 Groundwater Monitoring Well Network, Frequency, and Parameters
The groundwater monitoring well network at SWMU 69 will be monitored semi-
annually for the first year following injection to document the short term effectiveness of
the enhanced bioremediation remedial approach. The current, naturally occurring,
geochemical conditions at SWMU 69 are aerobic. Thus, it is expected that it will take at
least six months for the injected substrate to establish anaerobic conditions necessary for
biotic reductive dechlorination to occur: After anaerobic conditions are established it
typically takes at least 6 to 12 additional months to establish the proper microbial r

I T
population necessary for biotic reductive dechlorination. Therefore, a more frequent
sampling schedule during the first year following injection is unnecessary.
Approximately six to eight weeks following injection an abbreviated groundwater
sampling round will be conducted at SWMU 69 to determine if organic substrate has
been distributed adequately within each of the five treatment areas. Monitoring wells and
injection wells in each injection area will be sampled for TOC, geochemical parameters,
and pH. Groundwater will not be analyzed for VOCs because it is unlikely that the
injected substrate will have impacted VOC concentrations immediately after injection. A
proposed monitoring program for this substrate distribution sampling event is
summarized in Table 3.2.
During the first year following substrate injection groundwater from wells in the
vicinity of the carbon substrate injection areas will be sampled and analyzed for VOCs,
TOC, geochemical parameters and pH. In addition, several of the temporary injection
wells will also be sampled to monitor geochemical and contaminant conditions within the
injection areas. Results of the groundwater sampling will be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the enhanced anaerobic bioremediation application. A proposed
monitoring program for the first year following injection is summarized in Table 3.3.
After the frst year following substrate injection groundwater sampling events will be
conducted annually to .document the effectiveness of the remedial action. The location
and sampling frequency of wells for performance sampling will be selected based on
evaluation of the results of the previous year's performance sampling. Therefore, the
w year 2 monitoring program will be presented in the first annual report to be prepared
following the completion of the first year of performance monitoring. "Over the first 10
years, it is anticipated that some of the interior wells may be mQved -to ' a biennial
sampling frequency. However, wells near residential areas (e.g., 69MW12, 69MW18D,
69MW21D, and 69MW23 [new well]) may remain on an annual sampling frequency. In
addition, Monitoring wells installed in the Cape Fear Aquifer (69MW8, 69MW21C, and
69MW22C) will be sampled on a biennial (once every two years) schedule to ensure that
these well locations remain unimpacted by contaminants related to SWMU 69.
Groundwater sampling activities will be conducted in accordance with the final project
sampling and analysis plan/quality assurance program plan (SAP/QAPP) (Parsons
2007c).
3.4.2 Surface Water Monitoring Locations, Frequency and Parameters
A total of two surface water sampling locations in the unnamed tributaries to Young
Lake will be sampled on the same frequency as the majority of the monitoring wells at
SWMU 69 (e.g., semi-annually for the first year after injection). The historic surface
water sampling location 69SW8, located adjacent to injection area 5 (Figure 3.1), will be
sampled as part of the SWMU 69 long term monitoring program (LTM). In addition, a
new surface water sampling location will be established at the confluence of the two
unnamed tributaries to Young Lake, in the vicinity of injection area 3, (Figure 3.1) and
sampled as part of the SWMU 69 LTM program. The new surface water sampling
location will be labeled 69SW10.

Surface water sampling activities will be conducted in accordance with the final _
project SAP/QAPP (Parsons 2007c).
3.4.3 Performance Evaluations
The performance of the enhanced bioremediation application at SWMU 69 will
initially be evaluated annually. If the long term monitoring program sampling frequency
is reduced to less than annual, performance evaluations will be conducted on the same
frequency as the sampling schedule.
The performance evaluation at SWMU 69 will start with an assessment of
contaminant concentrations over time. Contaminant concentration trends are the primary
line of evidence for determining the effectiveness of the SWMU 69 application. If
contaminant concentrations in groundwater decrease over time, the SWMU 69 remedial
application can be considered to be successful.
The second step in evaluating the effectiveness of an enhanced bioremediation
application is to evaluate the concentrations of parent compounds (TCE) and reductive
dechlorination daughter products (cis-1,2-DCE, VC, and ethene). If biotic reductive
dechlorination is occurring then the concentration and molar fraction of the parent
compound will decrease while the concentrations and molar fractions of daughter
products will increase. The presence and relative molar fractions of the individual
daughter products will indicate whether partial or complete reductive dechlorination is
occurring. During the first year after substrate injection it is expected that at least partial _
reductive dechlorination of TCE to cis-1,2-DCE will occur. However, more complete
reductive dechlorination to VC and ethene may not occur until up to 2 years after
injection. The demonstration of partial reductive dechlorination, coupled with reduced
TCE concentrations during year one will be interpreted to indicate that the SWMU 69
enhanced bioremediation application successfully induced reductive dechlorination.
It should be noted that VC is extremely unstable under aerobic geochemical conditions
(the natural geochemical conditions at SWMU 69) because VC is readily degraded
through aerobic oxidation. Thus, while VC may be produced in the injection areas
through biotic reductive dechlorination, the VC mass will be rapidly oxidized as soon as
it migrates outside of the anaerobic zone established around the injection area. In
addition, only very low concentrations of VC and ethene are expected to be produced at
SWMU 69 because TCE is present at very low concentrations. Within a closed system
(e.g., a laboratory setting) the dechlorination of 25 µg/L of TCE would only produce 12
µg/L of VC and 5 µg/L of ethene. In a natural system it is unlikely that these low
concentrations of VC or ethene would ever be detected because these compounds are
extremely volatile and reactive. Thus, the absence of detectable concentrations of VC
and ethene at SWMU 69 will not indicate that reductive dechlorination is not occurring.
The third step in evaluating an enhanced bioremediation application involves the
evaluation of the geochemical data to determine what geochemical conditions are present
at the site and whether sufficient organic substrate remains to support the anaerobic
geochemical conditions necessary for biotic reductive dechlorination. TOC
concentrations are evaluated to determine if sufficient organic carbon remains. TOC
3-22
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\200.10 SWMU-69\CMP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMP.doc
- concentrations greater than 20 milligrams per liter (mg/L) have been interpreted by the
USEPA to be necessary to support anaerobic geochemical conditions and reductive
dechlorination (USEPA, 1998). In addition, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction
potential, nitrate/nitrite, ferrous iron, methane, and manganese data will be reviewed to
determine what terminal electron accepting processes (TEAPs) are actually occurring at
SWMU 69. This data will help to determine how much of the organic substrate is being
consumed by processes other than `reductive dechlorination and will lead to a
determination of how long the substrate will last in the subsurface.
The final step in evaluating the enhanced bioremediation at SWMU 69 will be to
review the pH data. Biotic reductive dechlorination has been shown to occur most
rapidly under pH neutral conditions (6 to 8). In addition, biotic reductive dechlorination
does not occur under acidic conditions (ph less than 6) due to the pH sensitivity of the
microorganisms involved in the reductive dechlorination process (Volkering and Pijls,
2004). If pH conditions become more acidic than pH 6 during the course of this
application (due to the depletion of natural and added buffering capacity) then complete
reductive dechlorination may slow down until the buffering capacity is replaced.
The following conditions will indicate a successful remedy:
• The TOC concentration in each injection area (as indicated by data collected from
the temporary injection wells) is greater than 20 mg/L.
y Declining TCE concentration trends in the injection area monitoring wells (e.g.,
69MW10, 69MW16S, 69MW12, 69MW18D, 69MW19D, and 69MW21D).
,f
3.4.4 Performance Monitoring Program Optimization
The SWMU 69 performance monitoring program will be evaluated annually to
determine if the program can be optimized such that only data that is of value and directly
contributes to future decisions are collected. Any proposed changes to the monitoring
program will be discussed and approved by the Army and NCDENR prior to
implementation.
3.5 CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Two potential contingencies are planned for possible deployment at SWMU 69. In the
event that the analytical data (VOCs and geochemistry) indicate that anaerobic
geochemical conditions appropriate for biotic reductive dechlorination have been
established but that biotic reductive dechlorination is not occurring then a
bioaugmentation culture may be injected into the SWMU 69 injection areas in an effort to
emplace a microbial population known to be capable of reductive dechlorination, thereby
inducing reductive dechlorination. This contingency will be deployed if all of the
following conditions are met:
• DO is consistently less than 1 mg/L over multiple sampling rounds.
• ORP is less than -100 mV (indicative of moderately to strongly reducing
conditions) over multiple sampling rounds.
3-23
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
• TOC concentration is above 50 mg/L in the area being considered for
bioaugmentation.
• TCE concentration trends increase or remain stable over multiple sampling rounds
beyond the first year of long term monitoring.
• Daughter products (cis-1,2-DCE and/or VC and/or ethene) are not detected.
The second contingency relates to the early depletion of the injected organic substrate.
If geochemical data indicates that the organic substrate emplaced during the first injection
is becoming depleted before contaminant concentrations are reduced in the hot spots,
then additional organic substrate will be injected into the hot spots to extend the longevity
of the enhanced bioremediation application. Substrate depletion will be signified by the
reduction of TOC concentrations to below 20 mg/L, and the return of aerobic
geochemical conditions, in the injection areas. If geochemical data indicates that the
substrate is reaching depletion and TCE concentrations in the hot spot(s) remain above
TCE concentrations in the remainder of the plume (estimated to be approximately 20
µg/L based on direct push data collected in 2001), then additional organic substrate will
be injected.
3.5.1 Bioaugmentation Solution Preparation and Injection
In the event that bioaugmentation is deemed to be necessary a bioaugmentation culture
will be purchased from SIREM Laboratories and mobilized to the site in specially
designed sealed shipping containers. An injection system consisting of a groundwater ,
extraction pump, a transfer pump, an injection pump, and an inline dosimeter as well as
various valves, pressure gauges, and flow meters will also be mobilized to the field site.
It is expected that less than one liter of bioaugmentation culture will be required for
each injection well based on Parsons and Sirem Laboratories' prior experience at other
sites. Sirem's general rule of thumb for calculating culture dosage is l part culture per
30,000 parts groundwater in the intended treatment area. The treatment volume for each
injection well is approximately 1,780 gallons. Applying a 1:30,000 factor yields a
calculated culture volume of approximately 0.25 liters per injection well. Thus,
approximately 1.25 liters to 2.0 liters of bioaugmentation culture will be required for each
injection area.
Upon arrival the injection system will be setup in the injection area to be
bioaugmented. A groundwater extraction pump will be installed in a nearby monitoring
well to supply makeup water for the bioaugmentation injection. The geochemistry of the
groundwater to be extracted will be confirmed to be anaerobic (dissolved oxygen less
than 1 mg/L) prior to mixing with the bioaugmentation culture. After the groundwater
geochemistry has been confirmed. The groundwater will be extracted, amended inline
with culture through a closed system dosimeter, and re -injected into the previously
installed small diameter injection wells.
The Bioaugmentation process will begin at each injection well by starting the
extraction pump, pumping water through the entire injection system, and discharging to
the injection well. During this initial phase the system will be bled of all air bubbles and
3-24
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
4
pockets and all joints and couplings will be inspected for leaks. After the system has
been started the dosimeter will be set to add bioaugmentation culture at a rate of I percent
of the water flow. Previously extracted groundwater amended with one percent culture
will continue to be injected until approximately 0.25 liters of culture have been added.
At that point the dosimeter will be shutdown and un-amended groundwater will continue
to be injected to improve the subsurface distribution of bioaugmentation culture.
Ultimately each injection well will receive approximately 0.25 liters of culture and
approximately 250 gallons of water.
3.5.2 Contingency Substrate Injection
In the event that a second substrate injection is deemed to be necessary, additional
soybean oil and the injection system will be mobilized to the site. The contingency
injection will be conducted in exactly the same way as the primary injection except that
the contingency injection will be conducted through the previously installed small
diameter injection wells only. The scope of the second injection and the substrate
loading to be deployed will depend upon conditions present within the treatment areas to
re -injected. However, for permitting purposes it is assumed that the contingency
injection will be required and that it will involve the injection of approximately %2 of the
substrate volumes injected during the primary injection.
3.6 INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS
Administrative controls and groundwater -use restrictions for the SWMU 69
groundwater plume footprint have already been incorporated into the base master plan
(BMP). Currently, SWMU 69 is part of a federal installation and is expected to be
retained by the federal government for the indefinite future. Groundwater=use restrictions
were implemented to prevent the use of the groundwater for potable water and irrigation.
References to relevant corrective action documents for this SWMU will also be included
in the BMP. The groundwater use restrictions will be maintained in the BMP until North
Carolina 21, standards are met or until contaminant concentrations are at such levels to
allow for unrestricted land use.
A survey plat for the SWMU will be prepared for inclusion in the BMP. The survey
plat will indicate the location and dimensions of the SWMU 69 groundwater plume with
respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks. The plat will contain a directive that states
Fort Bragg's obligation to prohibit use of the groundwater at SWMU 69 in accordance
with this CMIP. The previously surveyed groundwater monitoring wells that establish the
present extent of groundwater contamination originating from SWMU 69 will be used to
establish the perimeter of the SWMU 69 groundwater plume.
Institutional controls include the restriction of groundwater use at SWMU 69.
Restrictions on groundwater use for consumption and irrigation will be maintained for the
life of this remedial action, estimated to be 20 to 60 years. The groundwater -use
restrictions will be maintained during the period of ownership by DoD through the BMP.
The BMP will be an effective tool for prohibiting installation of drinking water or
irrigation wells at the site while property is under DoD ownership. Groundwater is not
currently used as a source of drinking water or irrigation at the site. Institutional controls
3-25
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMIP\fina1\Fina1 Fort Bragg SWMU69 CMIP.doc
prohibiting the use of groundwater in the future will be effective at protecting human
health from the elevated levels of COCs in the groundwater.
The SWMU 69 land use controls (LUCs) also prohibit intrusive activities within this
boundary (e.g., excavation, digging, drilling) without an approved health and safety plan,
use of proper personal protective equipment, and other necessary precautions. If soil is
excavated from within the SWMU 69 plume area it must be properly characterized,
classified, and disposed of in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), Offsite Disposal Rule (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 300.400).
Use of groundwater extracted from within the LUC boundary for potable or agricultural
use is prohibited. Specific examples of prohibited uses include drinking, irrigation, fire
control, and dust control.
Dewatering of excavations or trenches is be allowed within the SWMU 69 LUC
boundary unless contaminated water is properly managed in accordance with applicable
state and federal regulations.
It is expected that the proposed land use controls will effectively minimize the
potential for any contaminant impacts to potential receptors given that the expected future
land use for the SWMU 69 area is much as the current land use is. The future land use is
expected to be a combination of vehicle parking and storage in the currently fenced
vehicle storage area, an electrical substation and associated power lines, etc and wetlands
and/or undeveloped wooded and grass covered areas.

SECTION 4
REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION
4.1 CORRECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
A CMIR will be issued at the completion of the substrate injection activities at SWMU
69. The CMIR will present all field activities completed at SWMU 69, any field data
collected during the installation of the corrective action, and any deviations from the final
SWMU 69 CMIP. The CMIR will also present data pertaining to the wells that were
used for groundwater extraction, extraction rates, and the total volume removed from
each well.
4.2 PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVENESS REPORTS
An annual performance effectiveness report will be issued to present the results of the
sampling events collected during the previous calendar year. If the monitoring frequency
is reduced, the frequency of progress reporting will be reduced as well to coincide with
monitoring events. Performance effectiveness reports will present all data collected
during the subject reporting period (in accordance with the project.. SAP/QAPP), an
assessment of contaminant concentration trends at each performance monitoring well, an
assessment of the effectiveness of the remedial action implemented at SWMU 69, and
recommendations for any changes to the performance monitoring program for the
following reporting period.
Recommended elements of the evaluation report for this site include:
• A summary of site activities.
An evaluation of new data and comparisons with previous data and established
performance criteria, which would consist of presentation of the following:
— Data in tabular format;
— Graphs (e.g., contaminant concentration versus time for individual wells);
— Figures (contaminant contours); and
— Progress towards achieving remediation goals.
An evaluation of need for implementation of additional remedial phases and/or
contingency plans.

4.3 PERIODIC REMEDY REVIEWS
This site is managed by the Army under the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense
Environmental Restoration program (DERP). Paragraph 23.2 of the DoD DERP
guidance (DoD, 2001) specifies that periodic remedy reviews be conducted at least every
5 years to ensure that the selected remedy continues to protect human health and the
environment. Thus, the remedial action at SWMU 69 will be reviewed at least every five
years. The first review will be conducted within approximately 5 years of the selected
remedy installation (estimated to be during the spring of 2013).

X Yes; No. Please provide two copies of each and two copies of the approval letter (if applicable).
6 Provide a brief description of the events or cause of the groundwater contamination:
Historic vehicle storage and dismantlement activities resulted in contaminant releases to the ground surface. Contaminants
migrated vertically to eventually impact site groundwater. Surface water criteria exceedances have not been documented at
SWMU 69 to date (Parsons, 2007).
List contaminants detected: PCE, TCE, 1,1,2,2-TeCA (Parsons, 2007)
Volume of groundwater to be remediated per day: Approximately 77,367 gallons (per day)
9 Explanation of how volume was determined: The cross sectional area of the intended treatment areal (6,930 square feet)
(Parsons, 2008) was multiplied by the effective soil porosity (25%) (Parsons 2007) multiplied by the average site hydraulic
conductivity (5.97 ft/day) (Parsons, 2007) and converted to gallons of water (7.48 gallons/cubic foot) This calculation is given by
Darcy's Law.
IV. GENERAL DESIGN INFORMATION:
1. Specify the type of system that is being installed: infiltration gallery; X injection well(s);
other (specify):
2. Provide a brief description of all components of the treatment and disposal system (i.e., treatment units, pumps, tanks,
chemical feed system, injection and/or recovery wells, etc.):
Potable water will be supplied to the injection system from a nearby fire hydrant by running a high density polyethylene
(HDPE) line from the fire hydrant to a large storage tank. The storage tank will be filled periodically during injection and the
full tank will serve as the water supply during injection. A second HDPE line will be run from the bottom valve on the
storage tank to the substrate blending and mixing system. The organic substrates (soybean oil, soy lecithin, sodium lactate,
and a food -grade pH amendment product will then be amended into the hydrant water at the correct dosage rate inline
through a series of dosimeters. A static high sheer in -line mixer will be used to emulsify the soybean oil -lecithin mixture ani'_,
potable water to form an oil -in -water emulsion. This oil -in -water emulsion will then be pumped to each injection area with
FORM: GWRS 02/06 Page 2 of 11
an air operated diaphragm pump through HDPE conveyance lines.
Within each injection area site groundwater will be extracted from existing groundwater monitoring wells for re -injection
with the oil -in -water emulsion being piped from the substrate mixing area. Submersible pumps will be temporarily installed
in one or two monitoring wells (depending on the injection area) to supply site water for injection. The discharge lines from
the submersible pumps will be tied in to the supply line coming from the mixing system through a manifold consisting of
valves and.flow meters designed to measure flow from the groundwater extraction pumps and flow coming from the mixing
system. The mixtures of site groundwater and hydrant water will be different for each injection area and will depend on the
rate at which groundwater can be extracted from the formation. The mixture of potable water, substrate, and site
groundwater will then be injected into the subsurface through direct push rods and temporary injection wells.
3. 15A NCAC 2C .0213 (Well Construction Standards, Applicable to Injection Wells) requires that contaminant levels in the
fluid injected into any well be monitored; therefore, a sampling port must be provided on the effluent lines (treated water
prior to being injected into the wells or infiltration gallery). The permit will specify the requirements for monitoring this
effluent. Identify the location in the plans/specifications where the sampling port design is detailed:
Refer to Figure 3.5 in the attached corrective measures implementation plan
V. DESIGN INFORMATION FOR INFILTRATION GALLERIES:
1. Specify the dimensions of each infiltration gallery: (a) L= ft. W= ft. D= ft.
(b) L= ft. W= ft. D= ft.
(c) L= ft. W= ft. D= ft.
2. The static groundwater level at the gallery location is feet. The vertical separation
between the gallery trench bottom and the mean seasonal high water table is feet.
3. A North Carolina licensed soil scientist must provide an evaluation of the soils where the infiltration gallery will be located
and must specify an acceptable loading rate (amount of water gallery can accept). This evaluation should determine whether
- the loading rate shall be based upon only the surface area of the infiltration gallery or whpthpr if'is appropriate to include
some of the side wall depth.
a. What is the area used to determine the loading rate? square feet. This area should include only
the surface area. No side wall depth should be included in this calculation.
b. The recommended loading rate is (Attach all calculations).
c. Indicate the theory behind the loading rate determination:
4. Briefly describe any mounding of groundwater, above the static groundwater levels, that may result from infiltration (Attach
calculations and/or diagrams):
VI. DESIGN INFORMATION FOR INJECTION WELLS:
1 Identify the principal aquifer to which the injection wells will be discharging:
Middendorf Aquifer
J4) 2 Is the aquifer identified above the same aquifer from which the contaminated groundwater was extracted?
FORM: GWRS 02/06 Page 3 of 11
3
X Yes No. If No, describe how the aquifers are hydraulically related:
Briefly describe any mounding of groundwater, above the static groundwater levels, that may result from the injection (please.
-
attach calculations and/or diagrams): Significant long term mounding is not expected because of the short injection duration
(less than 24 hours at any one point) and the low planned iniection rate with respect to groundwater flow rates. The fluid
erection rate at each point is unlikely to exceed 10 gpm while the natural groundwater migration rate at this site is
approximately 1 2 feet per day. Thus groundwater mounding will be minimal during iniection and will disperse immediately
after injection is complete.

VII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
1 Classification of the closest downslope surface waters: (as established by the Environmental
Management Commission and specified on page 7 of this application).
The nearest downslope surface water body is Young Lake (approximately 1 mile downslope)
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219 0) (3), describe which measure is being utilized to prevent overflows into
downslope surface waters or adjacent aquifers in the event of a power failure or equipment malfunction.
The substrate injection system will be monitored at all times by Parsons personnel. Shutoff valves will be located at both ends of the
system that can be closed immediately upon the detection of a leak or line break (as indicated by pressure gauges installed at both ends
of the system). The system will be driven by air operated diaphragm pumps. The pumps are equipped with check valves and will not
allow water to pass through them if they are shutdown. Thus, if power or air pressure is lost than the injection system will shutdown
and no injection fluid will be lost. Refer to Figures 3.4 and 3.5 of the attached corrective measures implementation plan for injection
system schematics.
The applicable buffers should be met in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and 15A NCAC 2H .0400. Some of those
buffers are described below:
a. 100 feet between injection wells or infiltration galleries and any private or public water supply source;
b. 50 feet between injection wells and waters classified as WS, B, or other streams, canals, marshes, lakes, impoundments,
or coastal waters;
c. 100 feet between infiltration galleries and waters classified as WS, B, or other streams, canals, marshes, lakes,
j impoundments, or other coastal waters;
d. 100 feet between injection wells or infiltration galleries and the mean high water of waters -classified as SA or SB;
e. 100 feet from injection well and infiltration gallery treatment and disposal systems dlid`the normal high water of Class I
and Class 11 impounded reservoirs which are used as a source of drinking water;
f. 50 feet from injection well and infiltration gallery treatment and disposal systems and property lines.
If any of the applicable buffers cannot be met, please explain how the proposed buffers will provide equal or better protection of
the surface or groundwaters with no increased potential for nuisance conditions:
All prescribed buffer requirements will be met.
4. Substances may be added to enhance in situ treatment. If microbial additives or cultures are added in the effluent, the
approval must be provided by the North Carolina Division of Epidemiology certifying its use for remediation purposes. In
lieu of the Division of Epidemiology approval, risk assessment data, toxicological exposure data, or approval from another
State may be provided certifying an exposure risks. Will any substances be added to the effluent to enhance in situ
treatment? X Yes; No. If Yes, provide a detailed description of these substances, including amounts to be
added. In addition, please attach any studies which describes the instances in which these substances have been used:
The bioaugmentation culture product KB-1 (manufactured by Sirem Laboratories Inc.) will be added'to the injection water
and substrates to promote in -situ degradation. KB-1 will be added at a rate of 0.25 liters per injection well (total of 8 liters) at

THIS APPLICATION PACKAGE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY UNLESS ALL
OF THE APPLICABLE ITEMS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SUBMITTAL
a. One original and two copies of the completed and appropriately executed application form.
b. The appropriate permit processing fee in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0205(c)(5).
c. Submit three copies of the Corrective Action Plan and comprehensive site assessment.
These Documents are enclosed.
d. Three copies of the existing permit if a renewal or modification.
This requirement is not applicable because this is an application for a new permit.
Three sets of detailed plans and specifications signed and sealed by a North Carolina Professional Engineer. The plans must include a general
location map; a topographic map which extends one mile beyond property boundaries and depicts the facility and each of its intake and
discharge structures (with the quadrangle name); a scaled site -specific map which indicates where borings or hand auger samples were taken;
and a map showing the, groundwater treatment/disposal facilities, buffers, structures and property lines. A map must also identify any hazardous
waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; each well where fluids from the facility are injected underground; and those wells, springs and
other surface water bodies and drinking water wells listed in public records or otherwise known to the applicant within a quarter mile of the
facility property boundary. Each sheet of the plans, including any plan pages that are incorporated into a bound document, and the first page of
the specifications, must be signed/sealed by a North Carolina Professional Engineer.
This information can be found in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Implementation Plan.
f. Three copies of a tabulation of data on all wells which are within the area of review and which penetrate the proposed injection zone. Such data
shall include an identification number (same number referenced on map required in "e" above) for each well, a description of each well type,
date installed, depth of well, and record of completion or abandonment (if available).
This information can be found in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Study.
g. A soil scientist report which includes texture, color, and structure of the soils down to a depth of seven feet; depth, thickness and type of any
restrictive horizons, hydraulic conductivity in the most restrictive horizon, Cation Exchange Capacity, depth of the mean seasonal high water
table, soil pH, soil maps (if available, even if unpublished), and recommended loading rates (when using an infiltration gallery). This report
must be signed by the soil scientist.
A description of site soils is presented in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Study.
h. A hydrogeologic description, soils description, and cross section of the subsurface to a depth that includes the known or projected depth of
contamination. The number of borings shall be sufficient to determine significant changes in lithology, the vertical permeability of the
unsaturated zone, the hydraulic conductivity of the saturated zone, the depth to the mean seasonal high water table, and a determination of
transmissivity and specific yield of the unconfined aquifer (show calculations used for transmissivity and specific yield). Report should also
indicate whether the aquifer is attributable to fracture porosity storage or stratigraphically controlled (bedding planes). Include a general map
and cross section illustrating the regional geologic setting.
This information can be found in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Study.
i. Describe the proposed injection procedure and describe expected changes in pressure and direction of movement of injected fluid (provide data
from fracture studies where applicable). Applicant must demonstrate complete hydraulic control over contaminant plume and injectate if
injectate does not meet 2L standards.
The injection procedure including expected injection flow rates and pressures can be found in Section 3 of the enclosed Final Corrective
Measures Implementation Plan. The injection fluid may not meet 2L standards because a portion of the injection fluid will consist of
untreated groundwater extracted from the injection area. Therefore, modeling calculations were performed to determine if the injected
fluid is likely to cause significant plume expansion into previously uncontaminated areas. These calculations are presented on
Attachment one to this Groundwater Remediation Permit Application.
j. Proposal for groundwater monitoring (e.g., schedule, analytical methods, etc.).
This information can be found in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Implementation Plan.
k. Describe the method for determining mechanical integrity of injection well over a five year period.
The injection wells are temporary and will be used for a maximum of three separate, short duration injections. Each injection episode will
not exceed approximately 24 hours in length. Thus, a determination of long term injection well mechanical integrity is not necessary
and does not apply.
I. A complete analysis of the contaminated -groundwater to include, but not limited to BTEX, volatile and semivolatile compounds, pH, nitrates,
and phosphates or any additional information the Director deems necessary to evaluate the proposed treatment and disposal system.
This information can be found in the enclosed Final Corrective Measures Study.
in. Describe contaminant concentrations in the effluent given the proposed treatment. Include expected treatment efficiency. Provide calculations
or documentation to show how proposed degree of treatment was derived.
The proposed treatment will take place in -situ and will employ the injected organic substrates. Large volumes of treated water will not be
re -injected as in the case of a typical pump and treat system. Thus, this request does not apply. However, it is our intent to re -inject
FORM: GWRS 02/06 Page 6 of 11
untreated site groundwater with the afore mentioned organic substrates as well as potable water from an approved source. Thus, the
injection fluid will likely contain low concentrations of contaminants present in site groundwater including TCE, 1,1,2,2-TeCA, and

Fort Bragg SWMU 69 Groundwater Remediation Permit Application
- Attachment 1
Plume Expansion Calculations
The volume of groundwater present in the SWMU 69 groundwater plume, as defined by the TCE 1.0 µg/L contour can be
calculated by multiplying volume of the plume by the effective porosity of the aquifer matrix and converting the resultant
volume in cubic feet to gallons. This calculation is completed below.
Area of the SWMU 69 TCE plume: 36 acres (Parsons, 2007) or 1,742,000 square feet.
The contaminated thickness averages approximately 15 feet (Parsons, 2007).
The total volume of the SWMU 69 TCE plume = 26,130,000 cubic feet (1,742,000 square feet X 15 feet).
The volume of groundwater in the SWMU 69 plume is = 58,636,000 gallons (26,130,000 cubic feet X the effective porosity
of 30% (Parsons, 2007) X 7.48 gallons per cubic foot).
The maximum volume of fluid that will be injected at SWMU69 is approximately 172,000 gallons (including the
contingency second substrate injection and the contingency bioaugmentation injection [refer to section 3 of Parsons,
20081). The volume of injection fluid is conservative because a portion of this injection fluid will consist of site
groundwater and is thus not "new fluid" that will be added. However, the site groundwater to be reinjected is included
in the calculation in order to make this plume expansion estimate more conservative.
The total maximum volume of injection fluid represents 0.293 percent of the total volume of water within the SWMU 69
TCE plume. Thus the maximum plume expansion that may occur due to the proposed injection activities is
approximately 1.09 feet (the square root of 1,742,000 square feet X 1.00293 divided by rl).

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
In 1988, the State of North Carolina Department of Environmental Health and Natural
Resources (NCDENR), in conjunction with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Region 4, issued a Hazardous Waste Facility Permit to Fort Bragg. The
Former Jeep Dismantling Area was identified in the permit as Solid Waste Management
Unit (SWMU) 69. SWMU 69 was listed as requiring a Resources Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation (RFI) based on the findings of the 1988 Fort
Bragg RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA) conducted by Kearney, Inc and DPRA, INC
(Kearney and DPRA; 1988) in accordance with RCRA.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducted an RFI of SWMU 69 from
1994 to 1998. The results of the RFI were presented in the April 1999 USGS report
entitled: RCRA Facility Investigation at Operable Unit 4, Fort Bragg Installation
Restoration Program, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Volume I (USGS, 1999). Operable
Unit 4 is a designation of the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and consists of
SWMU 69, SWMU 63, and Areas of Concern (AOC) E, F,- and G.
The RFI concluded that various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) identified during
that investigation have migrated, through the soils into the groundwater>witliin and around
the area of SWMU 69. Based on the results of the RFI investigation, NCDENR and Fort
Bragg Directorate of Public Works (DPW) determined that a supplemental RFI was
warranted. Work supporting the supplemental RFI was performed in 2001 and 2002.
Results of the initial investigation revealed the presence of chlorinated solvents,
pesticides and petroleum related compounds in the soils and groundwater at SWMU 69.
The Supplemental RFI delineated the Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) in the
soils in the suspected source area and concluded that the soils did not contain significant
levels of COPCs above the screening criteria and; therefore, do not pose a continuing
source of contamination to the groundwater at SWMU 69. It also concluded that the areas
of detected concentrations of VOCs in the groundwater were' the result of either the co -
mingled plumes of several small releases over a widespread area or of multiple releases at
SWMU 69 over a period of years.
A supplemental monitoring event was conducted in 2004 to delineate the
concentrations of VOCs in the groundwater in the area downgrad'ient, of SWMU 69.
Groundwater samples were collected from existing selected monitoring wells as well as
from additional downgradient locations.

'EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A corrective measures study. (CMS) was prepared for. the. former Jeep. Dismantling
Area,. Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 69 at the Fort Bragg Military Reservation,
North Carolina, to evaluate potential corrective actions for addressing contaminants in
groundwater. This . report has been prepared by Parsons Infrastructure and Technology
Group; Inc. (hereafter referred .to as Parsons)- for .the Army Environmental Command
under contract number W9 1 ZLK-050D-00 16, task order 0001.
SWMU 69 is located southeast of the intersection of Woodruff and Knox Streets, and
occupies an area of approximately 3 to 4 acres. The site :is :fenced, with most of the area
covered by asphalt or gravel. SWMU 69 was historically used as an area where jeeps
were dismantled and is currently used for the storage of .military vehicles and other
supplies..
A Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). facility investigation (RFI) was
conducted from 1994 through 1999 'to determine the nature and extent of contamination
and to develop the, site conceptual model (SCM) for SWMU.: 69. The RFI concluded that
a CMS was required for SWMU 69 and supplemental investigations and. bench -scale and
in -situ pilot studigs were required: A supplemental RFI was performed in 2001-2002 and
included:
1. the collection .of 78 soil samples from 24 soil borings drilled within the
suspected source area.,
t
2. the collection of groundwater samples from the 28 existingmonitoring wells,
3. the installation of 22 temporary piezometers in the areanorth of SWMU 69 (in
the vicinity of the electrical substation and the twounnamed tributaries to
Young Lake) to improve the definition and understanding of the groundwater
potentiometric .surface,
4. the .collection of 81, groundwater grab samples using direct .push , drilling
methods. to update the vertical and horizontal delineation of the nature and
extent of groundwater contamination.
A second roundof. supplemental RFI activities were conducted .in -2004 which
included collecting :groundwater samples from 10 existing groundwater monitoring wells,
the collection, of three surface :water samples from previously sampled locations, and. the
collection of additional groundwater grab samples using:diiect.push drilling methods. A
third round of supplemental RFI activities were conducted, in 2006: which included the
collection of three. surface water samples from the unnamed tributaries to Young Lake. A
fourth round of groundwater samples were collected under this contract in February
2007.
The, supplemental data collected between 2001 and 2007 did not change the
conclusions of the. RFI or SCM for SWMU 69. Low concentrations of chlorinated
solvents are present in: groundwater :originating from 'SWMU :69. No remaining soil
source was identified at SWMU 09, but a series of 5 hot spots have been identified with
groundwater data collected from monitoring wells and as grab samples collected with
direct push drilling methods.. One hot spot is located in the. SWMU' 69. area while the
remaining four are located downgradient of SWMU 69. Tetrachloroethene . (PCE) and

This alternative would require a long-term monitoring program as well as the
establishment and maintenance of ICs to prevent exposure to contaminants through
groundwater use. -1
Alternative 2: Institutional Controls and In Situ Organic Substrate Addition in 5
Treatment Areas
• Institutional controls to prevent the. use of groundwater.
• Enhanced bioremediation using anaerobic reductive dechlorination to destroy
contaminant mass in 5 large areas encompassing the majority of the currently
defined SWMU 69 plume.
• MNA for remaining groundwater contamination.
• Groundwater and surface water monitoring to evaluate performance.
The active portion of the remedial alternative would treat groundwater using enhanced
bioremediation (i.e., anaerobic reductive dechlorination) in 5 large treatment areas, to
reduce chlorinated solvent concentrations in treatment zone groundwater. NINA would be
used to further reduce the remaining groundwater contaminants to meet the North
Carolina 2L standards.
Alternative 3: Institutional Controls and In Situ Organic Substrate Addition -
Hot Spots Only
• Institutional controls to prevent the use of groundwater.
• Enhanced bioremediation using anaerobic reductive dechlorination to destroy
contaminant mass in 5 relatively small hot spots encompassing a small portion of
currently defined SWMU 69 plume.
• MNA for remaining groundwater contamination.
• Groundwater and surface water monitoring to evaluate performance.
The active portion of the remedial alternative would treat groundwater using enhanced
bioremediation (i.e., anaerobic reductive dechlorination) in 5 relatively small hot spot
areas where contaminant concentrations are the highest, to reduce chlorinated solvent
concentrations in treatment zone groundwater. MNA would be used to further reduce the
remaining groundwater contaminants to meet the North Carolina 2L standards.
Alternative 4: Institutional Controls with In Situ Chemical Oxidation Using
Sodium Permanganate in 5 Treatment Areas
• Institutional controls to prevent the use of groundwater.
• In -situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using sodium permanganate to destroy
contaminant mass in 5 large areas encompassing the majority of the currently
defined SWMU 69 plume.
• MNA for remaining groundwater contamination.
• Groundwater and surface water monitoring to evaluate performance.
The active portion of the remedial alternative would'treat groundwater using ISCO in
5 large treatment areas, to reduce chlorinated solvent concentrations in treatment zone
groundwater. The 5 treatment areas would be same as those presented in alternative 2.

remain in the subsurface to treat contaminant mass that diffuses out of the soil matrix.
Whereas ISCO provides reactant mass to the subsurface that lasts only a short period of
time, resulting in the potential for COC concentration rebound. In addition, alternative 3
is superior to alternative 5 in terms of cost. Alternative 3 is approximately $164,000
cheaper than alternative 5. Thus, alternative 3 is the preferred alternative for
groundwater remediation at SWMU 69.
The total time to implement Alternative, 3 is estimated to be approximately 20 years.
The total capital cost for Alternative 3 is $493,860. The operation and maintenance costs
are $413,000. The total cost of Alternative 3 is $906,860.

pesticides and petroleum related compounds in the soils and groundwater at SWMU 69.
The Supplemental RFI delineated the Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) in the
soils in the suspected source area and concluded that the soils did not contain significant
levels of COPCs above the screening criteria and; therefore, do not pose a continuing
source of contamination to the groundwater at SWMU 69. It also concluded that the areas
of detected concentrations of VOCs in the groundwater were the result of either the co -
mingled plumes of several small releases over a widespread area or of multiple releases at
SWMU 69 over a period of years.
A supplemental monitoring event was conducted in 2004 to delineate the
concentrations of VOCs in the groundwater in the area downgradient� of SWMU 69.
Groundwater samples were collected from existing selected monitoring wells as well as
from additional downgradient locations.

SECTION 2
SWMU 69 SITE $ACKGROUND
The RFA of potential Fort Bragg solid/hazardous waste sites was conducted in 1988
by A.T. Kearney, Inc and provided an assessment of actions required by Fort Bragg
under RCRA, including actions for the Former Jeep Dismantling Area. Subsequently, the
NCDENR and the USEPA Region 4 issued a Hazardous Waste Storage Permit, which
identified SWMU 69 (former Jeep Dismantling Area) as requiring a RFI.
2.1 SITE BACKGROUND
2.1.1 Location and Site Description
SWMU 69 is located southeast of the intersection of Woodruff and Knox Streets, and
occupies an area. -of approximately 3 to 4 acres. The site is fenced, with most of the site
area covered by asphalt or gravel. SWMU 69 is currently used for the storage of military
vehicles and other supplies.
Figure 2.1 shows the location of SWMU 69 within Fort Bragg and provides a map of
the immediate area of SWMU 69 and the surrounding buildings. The majority of property
use near SWMU 69 consists of administrative offices, support facilities, and warehouses.
A CP&L power substation is located to the north and along the eastern. boundary of the
site. Major power transmission lines run north to south adjacent to the`east side of the
power substation.
SWMU 69 is bordered on the south and west by railroad tracks. The Central Issuing
Facility is located south of the railroad tracks in buildings 8-3710 and 8-3502. Several
buildings are located along the northern portion of SWMU 69. These include: 8-4608, a
weapons maintenance building; 8-4807, a Retiree Services Office; and 8-4813, the Space
Activity Office. Firearms were cleaned at the weapons maintenance building (USGS,
1999), and two drums labeled "dry-cleaning solvent" were observed stored outside of this
building during a 1997 site visit.
Two additional SWMUs (AOC E and SWMU 71) are located along the northern fence
line of SWMU 69. AOC E is a fuel -stained area associated with a 500-gallon heating oil
underground storage tank (UST) that is located south of building 8-4806 and north of
SWMU 69. The UST has been removed and the area has been investigated under the
North Carolina UST program. AOC E was given no further action status (NFA) by the
NCDENR UST section on September 2, 1999 and by the NCDENR Superfund section on
September 26, 2000.

SWMU 71 was identified in the 1988 RFA (see section 2.0) as an inactive site and as
having a low potential for a past release to have occurred. As a result of the RFA, SWMU
71 was listed in the Fort Bragg RCRA Part "B" Permit in Table II. Table II is a list of all
SWMUs at Fort Bragg with no known releases and; therefore, require no further action.
SWMU 71 consists of two small storage buildings (8-4513 and 8-4613). Previously
these buildings were used as a 90-day hazardous waste storage area. Fifty-five gallon
drums of 1, 1, 1 -trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2-TeCA) methanol, paint
wastes, decontamination agent, and a carbon -removing compound were documented to
have been stored in this area (USGS, 1999). Storage of hazardous wastes was
discontinued at SWMU 71 in 1984. Currently, this site is used for storage by an electrical
contractor.
2.1.2 . SWMU 69 Site History
Jeeps and other equipment were dismantled during the years 1988 to 1990. Before the
dismantling activities, this area had been used for vehicle parking and storage since the
1970's. A visual site inspection conducted during the 1988 RFA indicated that oil had
leaked from old motors onto the unprotected ground. Stacks of vehicle parts were
observed scattered over the ground surface.

SECTION 3
SWMU 69 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRAPHY
Fort Bragg occupies parts of two counties of North Carolina, northwestern
Cumberland County and northern Hoke County. According to the 2000 US Census,
Cumberland County encompasses a 661 square mile area and has a population of
302,000. Hoke County covers about 414 square miles and has a population of 43,000,
(US Census Bureau, 2000). The principal industries of Cumberland County are textile
manufacturing and timber production. Hoke County's major industry is agriculture;
mainly tobacco, cotton, corn, and other grains.
Fort Bragg has a combined military and civilian population of approximately 29,000.
The principal pipulation centers near Fort Bragg are the city of Fayetteville (population
121,000), located 5 miles to the southeast, and Spring Lake (population 8,100), which is
located adjacent the eastern boundary of Fort Bragg.
Fort Bragg is located in the Sand Hills hydrologic area of the North Carolina Coastal
t` Plain in southeastern North Carolina. The Sand Hills area is characterized by deep sandy
soil and has the most variable topography and highest land -surface elevation in the
Coastal Plains. Topography at Fort Bragg is characterized by gently=to steeply sloping
ridges, most of which are located in the central and western sections of the installation.
Elevations at Fort Bragg range from 550 feet (ft) above mean sea level (msl) in the west
to 150 feet in the northeast, adjacent to the Little River.
The topography of the actual SWMU 69 site is flat with an elevation of about 293 feet
above msL The area north of SWMU 69 was included in the.expanded investigation•and
varies in elevation from 293 feet above msl to 225 feet. Ground surface in this area slopes
downward in a northerly direction toward Young's Lake and its tributary. Relief is
greatest adjacent to this tributary. Figure 2.1 shows the location of SWMU 69 and the
surrounding area.
3.2 CLIMATE
The climate in this part of North Carolina is classified as subtropical, characterized by
long hot summers and mild winters. From 1951 to 1980, the mean annual precipitation
was 47.80 inches.
From 1984 to 1993, the mean annual precipitation at Pope,Air Force Base (AFB) was
46.62 inches. The mean monthly precipitation rates from 1984 to 1993 are shown iri
Table 3.1. Relative humidity ranged from a monthly average of 63 percent in April to 76
percent in August. The mean annual temperature was 62.4 degrees, and the prevailing
wind direction is from the southwest with an average velocity of approximately 9 miles
per hour (mph).

" Mean monthly precipitation unit of measure is inches.
Intense rainstorms primarily occur during the summer months. Rainfall intensity
frequency curves, based on the National Weather Service data for Fayetteville, NC,
indicate that 4-inches of rainfall within 2 hours represents a 25-year occurrence interval;
5-inches of rainfall within 2 hours represents a 100-year occurrence interval.
3.3 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
Most of the soil types in the Fort Bragg cantonment area range from moderately well
drained to excessively well drained soils in the highly dissected uplands and have brittle
loamy or clayey subsoil. These soils are the weathered by-products of the unconsolidated
sandy sediments of the Coastal Plain. Soils located in the upland areas are generally
sandy, acidic, and low in organic matter and fertility. Soils in the lower elevations are
heavier in texture, contain more organic and clay material, and are poorly drained and
swampy when adjacent to natural waterways. Because much of the soils often have
similar properties, the transition zones are not always apparent. Several soil types are
present within the immediate vicinity of SWMU 69 ranging from loamy sand to sandy
clay.
The major geologic formations in the Fort Bragg area (from oldest to youngest) are the
Carolina Slate Belt, the Cape Fear Formation, and the . Middendorf Formation. The
Carolina Slate Belt is composed of metavolcanic, metasedimentary, and igneous rocks of
Precambrian to Cambrian age. In the area of Fort Bragg, the Carolina Slate Belt is the
basement unit and is described as gray -green chlorite schist. In some areas, these rocks
were exposed to weathering at the ground surface before being covered by overlying
sediments. This weathered area created a zone of porous saprolite at the top of the
basement rocks. Where present, this saprolitic zone is described as sandy, gray clay with
some green and red clay. The top of the Carolina Slate Belt is about 60 feet above msl
near the western edge of Fort Bragg (approximately 230 -feet below ground surface
[bgs]).
The Cape Fear and Middendorf Formations are of Late Cretaceous age and are part of
the Atlantic Coastal Plain deposits. The deposits are sediments that were deposited on top
of the basement rocks and generally become thicker and dip toward the southeast. The
Cape Fear and Middendorf Formations are non -marine in origin and are generally
considered representative of deltaic deposits. In the Sand Hill area of North Carolina,
these formations appear to have been deposited in an upper delta -plain environment.
The Cape Fear Formation is continuous throughout Fort Bragg. It is overlain directly
by the Middendorf Formation, except along the Little River and some of its tributaries,
where the Middendorf Formation has been eroded away. The Cape Fear Formation
consists of pale -to -medium gray clays and sandy clays with some sand units. The lower
3-2
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
part of the Cape Fear contains beds of greenish -gray clays, some of which have red
mottling. The Cape Fear Formation contains more. clay, and the individual quartz -sand
beds are generally thinner and finer -grained than in the Middendorf Formation.
The top of the Cape Fear Formation is 210 feet above msl in the area of SWMU 69
(approximately 80 feet bgs), and is about: 150 feet thick. The uppermost part of the Cape
Fear Formation consists of clay and sandy clay ranging in thickness from 10 to 15 feet.
The Middendorf Formation overlies the Cape Fear Formation, and is exposed at the
ground surface throughout Fort Bragg.
The Middendorf Formation is composed of tan, cross -bedded, medium and fine-
grained micaceous quartz sand and clayey sand interbedded with clay or sandy -clay
lenses of limited extent. The basal unit of the Middendorf Formation within Fort Bragg is
described as a sand layer with rounded quartzite pebbles in a clay matrix at several
intervals. Layers of hematite -cemented sandstone occur locally throughout the
Middendorf Formation as do thin layers of kaolin and kaolin -cemented sandstone.
In summary, the units of the Middendorf Formation have overall higher sand content
than the more clayey strata of the Cape Fear Formation. The basal Middendorf sand unit
is generally coarser grained and more transmissive than the sand layers of the Upper
Middendorf. The upper unit of the Cape Fear Formation consists of a 5- to 10= foot thick
clay and sandy clay layer that likely acts as an aquitard, representing a barrier to vertical
contaminant migration by advection.
3.4 GROUNDWATER HYDROLOGY
The same three geologic formations that underlie Fort Bragg also form the three fresh-
water aquifers in this area. The saprolite-basement rock aquifer is composed of the
saprolite underlying the Cape Fear Formation and the fracture zones in the uppermost
part of the metamorphic and crystalline Cambrian and Precambrian basement rock. This
saprolite-basement aquifer is generally assumed to yield little water, and there are no
water supply wells known to tap solely into this aquifer.
The Cape Fear aquifer is composed primarily of clays interbedded with silt and silty
sands in the Fort Bragg area. The uppermost unit (5 to 10 feet) of the Cape Fear
Formation is a compact, thick clay unit that serves as an aquitard which restricts the
vertical movement of groundwater between the overlying sediments and the silty -sand
units of the Cape Fear Formation, creating confined aquifer conditions for the
groundwater found in the Cape Fear units below. There are no potable water supply wells
in the Fort Bragg cantonment area that tap into the Cape Fear Formation; however, east
of Fort Bragg, the Cape Fear aquifer is used for both public and industrial water supply.
The major water -bearing aquifer in the Fort Bragg area is the Middendorf aquifer,
which consists primarily of coarse -to -fine-grained silty or clayey sands with interbedded
light -gray to tan clay. Groundwater in the Middendorf aquifer is commonly under
unconfined conditions. In some areas of Fort Bragg, a laterally extensive clay layer is
present that separates the Middendorf aquifer into two water -bearing zones. The
groundwater in the Upper Middendorf remains unconfined, whereas the groundwater in
the lower zone is under confined or semi -confined conditions. The sandy soils of Fort
Bragg are highly permeable leached beds of the Upper Middendorf Formation that allow
a rapid infiltration of precipitation. Precipitation is the primary source of groundwater
recharge for the Middendorf Formation.
— ` 3-3
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\final\Final SWMU69 CMS.doc
Within the Upper Middendorf, the interbedded and discontinuous clay layers create
zones of perched water above the water table. Perched water zones are commonly found
within 20 feet of the ground surface. These zones typically contain only a few feet of
sediment saturated with water, and many dry out during the summer.
In the area of SWMU 69, groundwater is located 38 to 40 feet bgs. The direction of
groundwater flow is to the north-northeast, following the general slope of the ground
surface and the direction of surface=water drainage (Figure 3.1).
Horizontal hydraulic conductivities were determined from slug tests conducted during
the RFI (USGS, 1999) at nine of the wells at SWMU 69. Hydraulic conductivities for the
Upper Middendorf ranged from 0.9 to 1-3 feet per ' day (ft/day), while the Lower
Middendorf ranged from 14 to 78 ft/day. Table 3.2 below presents the wells tested and
the hydraulic conductivity determined.
Using an average horizontal conductivity of 20 ft/day, an average porosity of 30
percent, and horizontal hydraulic gradients of 0.002 to 0.028 feet per foot (ft/ft), the
USGS (1999) calculated the average -linear groundwater velocity to range from 0.16 to
2.24 ft/day (58 to 818 feet per year [ft/yr]). The hydraulic conductivities determined from
the wells completed in the Lower Middendorf formation were higher overall than those
from the wells completed in the Upper Middendorf.

3.5 SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY
An east, -west trending ridge divides Fort Bragg into two drainage sub -basins. Surface
water` m the northern subbasin drains into tributaries of the Little River, while the surface
water in the southern subbasin drains into tributaries of Cross Creek and Rockfish Creek.
Streambeds generally consist of unconsolidated materials; typically silts, sands, and
clays.
Several impoundments are present at Fort Bragg and include Young Lake in the
northern portion of the cantonment area, Lake McArthur in the northwestern corner of the
installation, Mackellar's'Pond in the northeastern part of the installation, and Smith Lake
in the southeastern section.

There are no surface water bodies within the area defined as SWMU 69 other than
�. drainage ditches constructed to drain parking areas. However, there are two streams that
originate immediately north and northeast of SWMU 69 (Figure 2.1) that may be
impacted by contaminants originating from SWMU 69. The streams are unnamed but
have been termed collectively as the Young Lake Tributary in USGS (1999). The two
streams merge immediately south of Butner road and flow north-northeast toward Young
Lake, located approximately 6,000 feet down stream from SWMU 69.
3.6 POTABLE WATER SUPPLY
Potable water supplies for Fort Bragg and the surrounding area are obtained from
surface water. Water used for drinking water purposes at Fort Bragg is obtained from the
Little River, approximately three miles to the north. Water is impounded by two dams
located near the Fort Bragg water treatment plant. Two supplemental water supply
reservoirs, Lake McArthur and McKellers Pond with a combined capacity of 12.2 billion
gallons, are also maintained by Fort Bragg.
The city of Fayetteville obtains its water supply from the Cape Fear River and
impoundments on Cross Creek and Little Cross Creek. In the past, the City of Spring
Lake obtained approximately 25 percent of its water supply from the city of Fayetteville,
with the remaining water supplied from a series of five municipal water supply wells.
Four of these wells are completed within the Cape Fear Formation, and one is completed
within the Middendorf Formation. This well is located approximately 1 mile northeast of
SWMU 69; the remaining four wells are located north of this well, about 2 miles north of
SWMU 69. Currently, however, the City of Spring Lake purchases 100% of its water
supply from Fayetteville.
The Fort Bragg Installation has 25 water -supply wells located within. its boundary
(Table 3.3). Well depths range from 62 to 600 feet bgs; well yields range from 5 to 170
gallons per minute. Eight of these wells are located in the cantonment area and seven are
used to irrigate golf courses. The remaining wells are outside the cantonment area and -are
used for various needs other than drinking water.

SECTION 4
PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS AT SWMU 69
4.1 USGS RFI 1994-1999
Initial work performed in 1994-95 by the USGS as part of the RFI included surface
geophysics, a soil -gas survey, completion of 28 soil borings, and the installation of 10
monitoring wells. Seven surface -water and six streambed sediment samples were
collected for analysis during this initial investigation.
Results from the initial. sampling revealed the presence of chlorinated solvents,
pesticides, and petroleum -related compounds in the soil and groundwater. The
chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were the
predominant contaminants detected in both soil and groundwater samples. In 1997,
screening samples of both soil and groundwater downgradient from SWMU 69, were
collected and analyzed in order to determine the location for "groundwater monitoring
wells that were subsequently installed in order to further delineate groundwater
contaminants. A second soil -gas survey was conducted in the area defined by the initial
survey as having the highest concentrations of TCE, as well as an adjacent area north of
SWMU 69.
In 1997, 18 additional monitoring wells were installed in order to `eollect groundwater
samples for laboratory analysis. These wells were screened in both surficial aquifers (the
Upper and Lower Middendorf Formation) as well as the deeper confined aquifer (the
Cape Fear Formation). This brought the total number of monitoring wells installed to 28.
The 1999 RFI identified seven VOCs as chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) in
the groundwater at SWMU 69. These were benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform,
1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-TeCA; PCE, and TCE. Of these COPCs, the chlorinated
organic compounds (carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-TeCA,
PCE, and TCE) were the most prevalent. The concentrations of PCE and TCE were the
highest of all analytes detected.
COPCs were identified in 1999 by comparing analytical results to the USEPA Region
III Risk Based Concentrations (RBCs) for tap water (USEPA, 1998), the USEPA
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) (USEPA, 1996), and the NC Groundwater
Standards (NCDENR, 1998). Three semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) (bis(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, and n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine), one
pesticide (dieldrin), and five metals (aluminum, iron, lead, manganese, and vanadium)
were also identified as COPCs'in the groundwater.
A total of 63 soils samples were collected by the USGS during their investigations and
compared to the USEPA Region 3 RBCs. Three SVOCs (benzidine, benzo(a)pyrene, and
benzo(g,h,i)perylene), one polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) (Aroclor 1260), iron, and

vanadium were identified as COPCs in the surface soils. No COPCs were identified in
the subsurface soils.
In 1998, surface -water and sediment samples were collected by the USGS from five
locations along the Young Lake Tributary. 1,1,2,2-TeCA was detected in two surface -
water samples collected from downstream surface water sampling locations. PCE and
TCE were also detected at low estimated levels in the same two samples. Chloromethane
and 1,1,2,2-TeCA were determined to be COPCs in the surface water in the two unnamed
tributaries to Young Lake. The PCE and TCE' detections were below the screening
criteria used at that time (USEPA Region III RBCs and the 1996 NCDENR Water
Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters of North Carolina). TCE was detected in
one of the sediment samples from the streambeds (below the screening criteria).
The USGS concluded that the following COPCs identified in the groundwater:
benzidine, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dieldrin, and Aroclor 1260, were not
considered to be environmentally significant because of their limited distribution, low
concentrations, and infrequent detections above the screening criteria. They also
concluded that the chlorinated organic compounds had migrated to the north-northeast
within the Middendorf aquifer to a discharge area at the tributary to Young Lake and to
the underlying Cape Fear aquifer. The USGS Report recommended further definition of
the chlorinated solvent contamination in the soil and groundwater.
4.2 SUPPLEMENTAL RFI (USACE) 2001-2002
The first phase of work for -the Supplemental RFI consisted of collecting soil samples
from within the suspected source area as well as groundwater samples from the 28
existing groundwater wells. The second phase of this Supplemental RFI also collected a
series of groundwater grab samples from numerous locations based on the conceptual site
model (CSM) in order to further delineate the groundwater contamination. The data
collected during this supplemental work is presented in the Site Conceptual Model Report
for the Supplemental RF1Investigations of SWMU 69, Fort Bragg, NC (USACE, 2003).
Selected figures and tables from the Supplemental RFI are presented for informational
purposes in Appendix A of this study.
4.2.1 Surface and Subsurface Soil
Twenty-four soil borings were completed throughout the suspected source area on 50-
foot centers. Continuous soil samples were collected at each boring from the surface to
just above the water table (generally a depth of 38 feet) and screened with a
photoionization detector (PID) and flame ionization detector (FID) for organic vapors.
There were no significant detections of organic vapors with either the PID or FID.
A total of 24 surface soil and 54 subsurface soil samples were collected for laboratory
analysis from the borings based on'the PID and FID responses. If a positive response was
detected while screening the soils, then a sample was collected for VOC analysis from
that interval. If there was a positive response for the entire depth -of a boring, up to three
soil samples were collected in order to provide vertical delineation. If there was no PID
response, one sample was collected from a depth that was just above the water table.
Samples collected from the borings `were analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, PCBs, and
chlorinated pesticides, based on results from the previous investigations. Results of the
soil analyses were compared to the USEPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals
r

SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\f1na1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
(PRGs) for residential soils and to the North Carolina Soil to Groundwater concentrations
(NCDENR, 1998) (Appendix A, Table 4.1).
Five pesticide compounds (dieldrin, aldrin, methyoxychlor, 4'4-DDE and 4'4-DDT)
and five SVOC compounds (benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene,
and pyrene) were detected in some samples. Aroclor-1260 was the only PCB detected -in
the soils. Seventeen VOCs were detected at least, once in the 78 samples: 1,2,3-
trichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-trichloroebenzene, . 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-
trimethylbenzene, 1,3-dichloropeopane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 2-butanone, acetone,
chloroform, chloromethane, methyl-tert-butyl-ether (MTBE), naphthalene, styrene,
tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, toluene, and total xylenes. TCE, PCE and toluene
were detected most frequently.
None of the analytes detected in either the surface or subsurface soil samples exceeded
the USEPA Region 9 PRG screening values. Two compounds, dieldrin and TCE, had
detections that exceeded the NC Soil to Groundwater Concentrations.
TCE exceeded the NC soil to groundwater value (18.3 microgram(s) per kilogram
[µg/kg]) in 8 of the 54 subsurface samples and dieldrin exceeded this value (1.13 µg/kg)
in 10 subsurface soil samples. Seven of these dieldrin detections are thought to be the
result of laboratory contamination, as dieldrin was also detected in the laboratory method
blank at 1.3 µg/kg.
Detections of TCE above the NC soil screening level ranged from 19 to 54 µg/kg, with
one detection of 110 jig/kg. The detections of dieldrin ranged from 2 to 45 jig/kg. The
depth of the groundwater in this area of SWMU 69 averages 38.5 feet bgs. Only two of
the detections of dieldrin and TCE that exceeded the soil to groundwater criteria were
from depths of 35-36 feet bgs, the remaining detections were all from depths between 4
to 25 feet bgs, with concentrations declining with depth in the samples:: collected below
25 feet bgs.
There was no correlation between any elevated PID response and the concentrations of
the VOCs detected in the soil samples. Nor did any concentrations. of TCE appear to
correlate directly with the amount of clay in any soil samples, although the two highest
concentrations of WE were from samples that contained stiff gray clay, one a surface
sample and one from 35 to 36 feet bgs.
There were no COPCs identified in the subsurface soils during the initial RFI and the
excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) calculated for human receptors to the surface soils
were within range of acceptable risk levels. Based on the infrequent detection of COPCs
in the soils during the Supplemental RFI and the low levels detected, it was concluded
that the soils at SWMU 69 do not to pose a risk to human receptors. Therefore, it was
concluded that no corrective action was necessary (USACE, 2006).
4.2.2 Groundwater
The second phase of the Supplemental RFI consisted of installing piezometers to
obtain more detailed information about the groundwater elevations across the area.
Groundwater grab samples were also collected using direct push technology. Following
the EPA Triad methodology, samples were analyzed in the field in order to provide real-
time data. These field results were to determine where the next sampling point would be
located. This phase of the Supplemental RFI was conducted in order to determine if these
-- } 4-3
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\final\Final SWMU69 CMS.doc
areas of higher concentrations were indicative of past source areas or if they represented
zones of residual dense non -aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL).
A total of 22 piezometers were installed around the area of the two small streams and
the area south of Butner Road in order to obtain more detailed information concerning the
direction of groundwater flow in this area and to construct a more realistic potentiometric
surface. Initial groundwater samples for field analyses were collected from the 22
piezometer locations. A direct-sparging ion -trap mass spectrometer was used to analyze
groundwater samples using EPA Method SW8265. A total of 81 primary samples were
collected and analyzed for TCE, PCE, and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), based on
the results of the previous investigations. Lines of evidence for natural attenuation
include the increase of the daughter compound and decrease of the parent compound in
the downgradient direction, indicating that attenuation and degradation processes may be
occurring in the subsurface as the dissolved contaminants travel away from the source
area. The concentrations of TCE have increased relative to PCE in the samples collected
from the locations farthest downgradient to SWMU 69 (G-6, G-44, and 69MW 19D) for
those samples that contain concentrations of both PCE and TCE. This may indicate that
natural attenuation is occurring, or could be the result of PCE's greater affinity for
sorption sites (i.e., higher retardation factor) than TCE. Figure 4.1 presents groundwater
analytical data collected from site monitoring wells and grab samples collected using
direct push drilling methods. Figure 4.2 depicts the interpreted extent of the SWMU69
VOC plume based on the direct push grab sampling groundwater monitoring well
sampling conducted in 2001. The interpreted plume extent depicted in Figure 4.2
encompasses a total area of approximately 36 acres, as defined by the 1 µg/L TCE
contour. In addition , a total of 5 CAH hot spots .were defined based on data collected in
2001 (Figure 4.2).
Results from this event provided a more detailed vertical and horizontal delineation of
the PCE/TCE in the groundwater and support the conclusion that the chlorinated solvent
contamination detected in the groundwater could be from two or more separate releases.
Widespread minor concentrations are most likely remnants of previous small releases. In
this case, dispersion and dilution processes were the major contributors to the degradation
processes because of the subsurface conditions. Areas of significantly higher
concentrations detected during this event coincided with those previously reported.
Dissolved levels of PCE/TCE detected in the ' groundwater do not approach
concentrations that would indicate the presence of dense non -aqueous phase liquids
(Cohen and Mercier, 1993).
4.3 2004 SAMPLING EVENT
The Supplemental RFI recommended that an additional groundwater well be installed
downgradient of 69MW-21D toward Young Lake to define the downgradient extend 'of
the VOCs in the groundwater. In 2004, a decision was made by Fort Bragg to obtain
groundwater samples from downgradient locations and install downgradient wells using
direct push methods. A very stiff clay layer was encountered during these well
installations and only grab samples could be obtained using the direct push equipment.
Three groundwater grab samples were collected, two from the west side of the tributary
for Young's Lake and one from the east side.
Ten existing wells were sampled at this time and three surface water samples were
collected. Results of the groundwater grab sample collected from the most downgradient _

location on the west side of the stream were non -detect; however, TCE was detected on
the east side of the stream. Results from the 2004 sampling event are presented on
Appendix A, Table B-1, along with figures showing the location of the grab samples
(69TMW23, 69TMW24, and 69TMW25). Analytical results from the monitoring wells
sampled were similar to previous sampling results.
NCDENR has requested that a permanent well be installed in the downgradient area of
SWMU 69 north of Butner Road. The purpose of this new well will be to act as a sentry
well below the toe of the SWMU69 plume and will act as a sampling point to determine
if the SWMU69 plume is migrating in the downgradient direction. The proposed location
of this well (to be installed by conventional drilling methods) is presented in Section 10
as part of each remedial alternative under consideration. The proposed well location -is
based on the results of the downgradient grab samples and discussions with NCDENR.
All lab data, field sampling data sheets, and the Quality Control/Quality Assurance
(QC/QA) Report for this data are located in Appendix E of USACE, 2006.
4.4 2007 GROUNDWATER SAMPLING EVENT
A groundwater monitoring event was conducted in February 2007 to further delineate
the SWMU 69 COC plume and to collect an up -to; -date data set to support the SWMU 69
remedial design. Table 4.1 summarizes the VOC data collected during this sampling
event.- The 'February 2007 TCE in groundwater data set is also depicted on Figure 4.3
along with an updated plume foot print.
During the February 2007 sampling event PCE and TCE were detected at
concentrations above the NC 2L standards at a total of 5 and 9 locations, respectively.
The maximum PCE concentration of 13.8 µg/L was detected at 69MW17S while the
maximum TCE concentration of 53.7 µg/L was detected at 69MW 18D. '-1,1,2,2-TeCA
was also detected at 2 locations at concentrations that exceeded the NC 2L standard, with
a maximum detected concentration of 3.31 µg/L (69MW22D).
The .primary contaminant concentration data collected at SWMU69 (PCE, TCE, cis-
1,2-DCE, and 1,1,2,2-TeCA) is tabulated in Table 4.1. In addition, COC concentration
trend plots have been prepared for each monitoring well at SWMU69 and are presented
as Appendix D. Most of the monitoring wells at SWMU69 have been sampled relatively
sporadically since approximately 1998, with a few monitoring wells sampled as far back
as 1995. PCE and TCE concentrations at the majority of monitoring wells have been
generally decreasing for at least the last 5 to 6 years, with the notable exceptions of
monitoring wells 69MW 12, 69MW i 6S, and 69MW 19D, and potentially 69MW 18D.
4.5 SURFACE WATER AND SEDIMENT
Two unnamed intermittent streams (termed "unnamed Young Lake Tributaries" by the
USGS) drain the hillside north of SWMU 69. Both streams empty their contents
eventually into Young Lake, located approximately 1 mile to the north-northeast. The
surficial groundwater located in the upper and lower Middendorf Formation is the
primary source of surface water in the streams. During heavy rain events the streams also
collect surface runoff from the SWMU 69 area as well as the area to the north,of SWMU
69.
A total of fifteen surface -water samples have been collected during the various
r'
investigative phases of SWMU 69. Figure 4.4 shows the locations of each sample and
t�
4-9
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
presents a summary of the analytical results. Five samples were collected in 1998, four `-
samples in 2001 (an additional sample was planned; however, the stream was dry in that
location), and three samples in 2003. Three additional samples were collected in 2006.
the analytical data for these samples is summarized in Table 4.2. Several of these samples
have been collected from the same location over a period of eight years (Figure 4.4).
Both surface -water and sediment samples collected in 2001 and 2003 were from the same
locations as the samples collected by the USGS in order to confirm the previous
detections.
Table 4.2 summarizes the surface water detections and compares these results to the
NCDENR screening criteria for protection of human health as described by North
Carolina Rule 15A NCAC 213, updated in 2004. 1,1,2,2-TeCA, PCE, TCE, and cis-1,2—
DCE have all been detected sporadically in the surface water.
TCE was detected in the surface -water samples from the sampling location most
downgradient to SWMU 69 in both 1998 and 2001 (Figure 4.4). In 1998, 1,1,2,2-TeCA
was detected in two surface -water samples. TCE was detected during the 2001 sampling
event in the sediment sample 69SD 1 from a location near MW21 D, downgradient of
SWMU 69, at 5.6J µg/kg. TCE was also detected in the surface -water sample collected
from this same location. TCE was not detected at this location in the 2003 sampling
event, but was detected again during the most recent sampling event in 2006. This
location is also immediately adjacent to Butner Road (a major thoroughfare at Fort
Bragg). Storm water runoff from the road and surrounding area is funneled into the
stream at this point.
None of these detections have exceeded the NCDENR screening criteria for protection
of human health indicating that the surface water at SWMU 69 does not present a risk to
human receptors.
4.6 HRC PILOT APPLICATION RESULTS
In September, 2005 an organic substrate addition pilot study was conducted at SWMU
69 in order to determine if the technology was effective at inducing and maintaining
anaerobic reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE in groundwater. The commercial
product Hydrogen Release CompoundTM (HRCTM) was selected as the organic substrate
of choice for the SWMU 69 organic substrate addition pilot program. Four "hot spot"
areas were selected based on historic groundwater data for the application, of HRCTM.
The four hot spot areas chosen are located in close proximity to site monitoring wells
69MW-19D, 69MW-17S/D, 69MW-6, and 69MW-1/9 (Figure 4.1). One baseline
groundwater sampling event was conducted at 10 monitoring wells prior to HRCTM
injection to document natural site geochemical and contaminant conditions to serve as a
comparison point for data collected after injection.
After the baseline sampling event was complete HRCTM was injected through direct
push drilling methods in a series of 16 injection points installed in a grid -based treatment
cell and located 20 feet upgradient from each monitoring well location. The HRCTM
injection points within each treatment cell were arranged in an offset pattern of 4 rows
spaced 10 feet apart with 4 injection. points in each row. The location of the injection
points had to be rearranged slightly for the area upgradient of 69MW6 due to the close
proximity of this monitoring well to Woodruff Street and the numerous underground
utilities in this area. HRC® was injected at a rate of approximately 4 pounds (lbs) per
foot within a 17-foot zone ranging from 34 to 51 feet bgs at 69MW-1/69MW9 -and

69MW-6, from 22-39 feet bgs at 69MW17S/69MW17D, and from 20-37 feet bgs at
69MW 19D.
After HRCTM injection activities were complete groundwater samples were collected
from the six wells adjacent to the four injection areas as well as monitoring wells located
downgradient from the injection areas to monitor the performance of the HRC. Process
monitoring groundwater sampling events were collected at approximately 5-months and
7-months post injection. Performance ..monitoring analytes included VOCs and the
geochemical parameters nitrate/nitrite, sulfate/sulfide, dissolved iron, total organic carbon
(TOC), chloride, methane/ethane/ethene, and the field parameters (pH, oxidation
reduction potential [ORP], specific conductivity, dissolved oxygen [DO], and
temperature).
During the first 7 months of pilot study performance monitoring it became apparent
that groundwater geochemistry was not being impacted at two of the pilot test areas
(areas associated with wells 69MW-19D and 69MW-17S/D) as evidenced by the lack of
measurable increases in TOC concentration and the lack of significant geochemical
changes. Groundwater geochemistry was positively impacted at hot spots associated with
wells 69MW-1 and 69MW-6 in that TOC concentrations increased and geochemical
conditions became more reducing and therefore more conducive to reductive
dechlorination-. , However, formation of cis-1,2-DCE daughter products, key evidence of
the onset of reductive dechlorination, was not observed in the first 7 months of
performance monitoring. In addition, TCE concentrations -increased slightly at each of
the impacted study areas and TOC concentrations declined significantly between the 4
month and 7 month events. This data indicates that there was limited desorption of
contaminant mass from the soil matrix due to the presence of organic carbon derived
from the HRCTM and that the emplaced HRCTM did not provide adequate organic carbon
to the system to induce reductive dechlorination. In addition, the decline in TOC
concentrations between 4-months and 7-months indicates that the emplaced HRCTM will
not produce sufficient TOC in the longer term.
Based on review of the pilot study data, the HRCTM injection was unsuccessful in the
first 7-months for a number of reasons:
• HRCTM may not be an optimal organic substrate for use at this site because
groundwater flow rates are relatively fast at SMWU 69, resulting in rapid dilution
and dispersion of the soluble lactic acid produced as the HRCTM is dissolved.
• The HRCTM loading rate of 4 pounds per foot was too low for this site given that
groundwater flow rates are relatively rapid and given that the natural geochemical
conditions are moderately to strongly aerobic.
• The monitoring time period for the pilot system was not sufficient to determine
whether anaerobic dechlorination could be stimulated. The naturally aerobic
geochemical conditions at SWMU 69 will result in a relatively long acclimation
period between the injection and the observance of complete reductive
dechlorination. This lag time could be on the order of 12 to 24 months because of
the time required to develop the proper anaerobic geochemical conditions and for
the growth and development of a suitable anaerobic microbial population for
reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE.

Finally, the pH of the groundwater in the reaction areas was not properly buffered.
Microbial strains known to be capable of complete dechlorination of PCE and
TCE are most effective in neutral pH conditions (pH greater than 6.2) ((Volkering,
2004), making pH buffering an important factor in a successful enhanced
bioremediation application. pH data collected during the course of the HRCTM
pilot indicates that pH was depressed as low as approximately 4.1 as a result of the
HRCTM injection. These acidic conditions resulted in the production of low pH
fermentation products 2-butanone and acetone and likely precluded significant
reductive dechlorination.
The results of the pilot study indicate that organic substrate addition is a viable
technology at SWMU 69 based on the short term geochemical shifts observed in
monitoring wells 69MW-1, 69MW-6, and 69MW-9. However, the pilot study results
also indicate that HRCTM is a non -optimal organic substrate for use at SWMU 69.
Vegetable oil has been applied as a low-cost organic substrate at numerous sites in the
past 8 years with very good results. Vegetable oil has proven to be a excellent substrate
that is capable of delivering relatively high organic carbon loading over the long term (5
to 7 years). Thus, the organic substrate addition technology should be considered for
potential application at SWMU 69 provided that vegetable oil or some other more
appropriate organic substrate is applied in place of HRCTM.

SECTION 5
SITE CONCEPTUAL MODEL
5.1 SWMU 69 SITE CONCEPTUAL MODEL
There is no information available concerning the composition or quantities of the
solvents released at SWMU 69. The time frame during which the releases occurred is
also unknown. Therefore; it is unknown whether the material released could have been a
mixture of two or more compounds or a single compound, i.e. the material released could
have been pure PCE or a mixture of PCE and TCE. Given the low concentrations of TCE
and PCE detected in the soils and groundwater at SWNW 69, it is unlikely that this
contamination is the result of one large spill. The most likely site model is that many
small spills or leaks occurred in and around SWMU 69 from various activities over a
long period,of time.
TCE and PCE both belong to the group of compounds known as chlorinated aliphatic
hydrocarbons (CAHs), have a density greater than water (greater than 1.0 gram(s) per
cubic centimeter [g/cm3])and are commonly referred to as DNAPLs.
TCE and PCE have been most frequently used as solvents for degreasing and cleaning
in the past. Chlorinated solvents can migrate large vertical distances through the vadose
zone. Because they are denser than water, these compounds will continue to migrate in a
vertical direction after reaching the saturated zone. Within the saturated zone, the
interaction of groundwater flowing through DNAPL that is pooled or sorbed to soils will
result in a dissolved phase "plume." The orientation of the plume will depend on the
direction of groundwater flow and the vertical distributions of hydraulic characteristics of
the aquifer.
The potential for contaminants in the surface and subsurface soils to leach to
groundwater was evaluated by comparing the maximum concentrations in the surface and
subsurface soil to North Carolina soil screening levels (SSL) (USACE, 2003).
Concentrations above these standards indicate that the constituent might be released to
the groundwater, resulting in concentrations in the groundwater that could be harmful to
human health. TCE exceeded the SSLs at the suspected source area and has been detected
in the groundwater. Soil samples were not collected at areas outside of the fenced SWMU
69 compound.
Chlorinated solvents are not stable when introduced to the soil and groundwater
environments and will undergo either biotic or: abiotic degradation. This degradation is a,
result of a series of chemical reactions that produce new compounds (daughter products).
The presence of both the parent and daughter products generally indicate that one or more
of these degradation processes are occurring (Wiedemeier, 1999).
A single chlorinated solvent plume can exhibit different types of behavior in different
-- portions of the plume. Although conceptual models of field sites often portray well-
5-1
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
defined zones containing different oxidation-reduction environments, in reality aquifers
are heterogeneous and poorly mixed. Therefore, the oxidation-reduction potential can
vary greatly over a small scale within the aquifer (Wiedemeier, 1999).
Several small spills would behave as several instantaneous sources. With time and the
effects of dispersion and diffusion, these individual spills could lead to plumes that have
more than one zone containing higher concentrations of dissolved contaminants. The
mixing of plumes from small spills could also result in zones that contain differing
mixtures of dissolved contaminants -if the sources were different materials. Multiple spills
from the various activities conducted in the past in and around SWMU 69 could possibly
coalesce in the groundwater to form. a wider spread plume than would have been
expected from just one spill. Detections of 1,1,2,2-TeCA support this scenario. 1,1,2,2-
TeCA has been detected sporadically in all sampling events and was detected in samples
from five monitoring wells during the 2002 sampling event. Three of these detections
were from wells in upgradient locations to SWMU 69 and the SWMU 69 plume, and
from hydraulically distinctly separate areas (69MW-22D, 69MW-18D, and 69MW-20D).
An alternative explanation for the large groundwater plume detected during the
investigation of SWMU. 69 would be two or more plumes that are the result of two or
more distinct sources. PCE, TCE, 1,1,2,2-TeCA and carbon tetrachloride are all common
chlorinated solvents used for cleaning (including dry cleaning) and degreasing a variety
of materials during the past 40 to 50 years.
5.2 NATURAL ATTENUATION EVALUATION FOR COCS IN
GROUNDWATER
The primary process for the natural attenuation of the highly chlorinated: compounds
(e.g., PCE, TCE, and 1,1,2,2-TeCA) is biologically mediated sequential anaerobic :
reductive dechlorination. This process involves the microbially mediated transformations
of chlorinated solvents under anaerobic conditions (without oxygen) that convert highly
chlorinated solvent species to less chlorinated solvent species by replacing chlorine atoms
with hydrogen atoms. For example, the chlorinated ethene chain is sequentially
dechlorinated from the parent compound PCE through TCE, cis-1,2-DCE, VC, to the
reaction end product ethene. Reductive dechlorination only occurs under anaerobic
conditions where dissolved oxygen is absent and where the groundwater ORP is below
zero. Figure 5.1 presents the chemical and biological breakdown pathways for the
predominant contaminants in groundwater at SWMU 69.
Anaerobic reductive dechlorination breakdown products of PCE, and TCE (cis-1,2-
DCE, trans-1,2-DCE; vinyl chloride [VC]) have historically been infrequently detected at
very low concentrations at SWMU _69, indicating. that only very limited reductive
dechlorination of PCE' and TCE may have occurred. PCE and TCE remain the dominant
contaminants detected in groundwater at all monitoring locations associated with SWMU
69, indicating that anaerobic reductive dechlorination is likely not occurring at a
significant rate at this site. In addition, groundwater geochemical data collected during
the course of site investigations at SWMU 69 indicate that natural conditions beneath the
site are aerobic, with DO concentrations ranging from 4 to 8 milligrams per liter (mg/L)
and ORP conditions ranging from +100 to +350 millivolts. These geochemical
conditions are not conducive to anaerobic processes including reductive dechlorination,
supporting the assertion that anaerobic reductive dechlorination is not occurring and is
not likely to occur naturally on this site.

f' Other natural attenuation processes that may be occurring at SWMU-69 include
abiotic aerobic destruction mechanisms and non-destructive mechanisms such as dilution,
dispersion, volatilization, and sorption. Limited historic groundwater analytical data
(Appendix A, Tables 4.2 and B-1) indicates that contaminant of concern (COC)
concentrations have decreased over time at some well locations (e.g., 69MW-10, 69MW-
12, 69MW-18, and 69MW-21D). These observed decreases in COC concentrations
indicate that some or all of the non-destructive natural attenuation mechanisms and
potentially abiotic aerobic degradation may be occurring at SWMU 69.
5.3 HUMAN HEALTH RISK EVALUATION
A human health risk assessment was performed by ABB, INC. in 1995 after the initial
RCRA RFI was performed (USACE 2006). The incremental life time cancer risk (ILCR)
for carcinogens and hazard index for non -carcinogens were calculated for exposure of
future excavation workers to surface soils, and adult and child residents to surface soils,
subsurface soils, and groundwater. There were no human health COPCs identified for
subsurface soils.
For the excavation worker, the ILCR associated with exposure to surface soils was 7 x
10-8 and had a hazard index (HI) of 0.01. Both the adult and child resident exposure to
surface soils was ,1 x 10-5. Hazard Indices were 0.16 and 0.6, respectively. Incremental
levels of risk for workers were minimal and all levels are within the USEPA Region 4's
levels of acceptable risk (1 x 10-5 to 1 x 10-4) and require no corrective action. This site
currently has an industrial use, is covered in gravel and asphalt, and is behind a locked
fence. Because this site has a non-residential use, there are no current risks to residential
receptors.
Risks for residential receptors for the groundwaterpathwaywere also calculated. The
m%or contributors to a cancer risk exceeding the 10' level were tetrachloroethene (3 x
10- ), trichloroethene (3 x 10-5), chloroform (2 x 10-5) and arsenic (5 x 104). Because
arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Middendorf Formation, ABB (1995)
concluded that the risk attributable to arsenic was overestimated. Also, arsenic was only
detected in 3 of the 28 groundwater samples and all arsenic levels detected were below
the USEPA MCLs and NC 2L values.
Risks for future receptors for the groundwater pathway were reevaluated using the
more current 2002 sampling data. Currently, drinking water at Fort Bragg is from surface
water sources. Therefore, the pathway is not complete for groundwater and no risk to
current human receptors exists for groundwater. However, there is some potential for
future groundwater contaminant plume discharge to the unnamed tributaries to Young
Lake, which would pose a risk to surface water receptors. In addition, the state of North
Carolina requires that groundwater be remediated to the NC Groundwater 21, standards,
thus remediation is warranted on this site. Tables supporting the risk calculations are
located in Appendix B. Table 5.1 below is a summary of the risks for all future receptors
(assuming that the future installation worker would be drinking groundwater).
Exposure point concentrations (EPC) were calculated by using the arithmetic average
of the groundwater concentrations for each of the four COPCs following EPA Region 4
guidance. These averages were calculated by using a value equal to %2 the reporting limit
for those samples that did not have a detection reported. Table C-10, located in Appendix
B, shows the calculations of the exposure point concentrations. Groundwater data from
5-4

welts upgradient of the SWMU 69 (69MW7, 69MW22D, 69MW20) were omitted as well
as data from wells completed in the lower Cape Fear aquifer (69MW8, 69MW22C,
69MW21C). The EPC is considered to be reasonable maximum exposure (RME) for
future receptors to the groundwater.

5.3.1 Uncertainties
Three major types of uncertainties should be considered when reviewing the results of
the exposure assessment:
1. uncertainties associated with predicting future land use,
2. uncertainties associated with estimating constituent concentrations at receptor
locations, and
3. uncertainties associated with assumptions used in the exposure models.
For the purposes of this risk assessment, the most conservative land -use scenario
(residential) was evaluated in addition to the one more realistic scenario (future
construction worker). The probability that residences would be built in this area covered
by large power transformers and transmission lines is implausible yet was included here
as a worst -case bounding of the risk. In addition, the possibility that the shallow aquifer
underlying the site would be used for drinking water is extremely low.
Physiological values (e.g., body weight, inhalation rates) and behavioral values (e.g.,
average time spent in one place, amount of groundwater ingested) used to model the
RME are a combination of average and upper -bound levels taken from reliable regulatory
sources (e.g., USEPA). The use of upper -bound estimates will tend to overestimate
exposure for the RME; therefore, the range of potential risks is likely to be greater than
the actual risks. This approach provides conservative, health -protective values for the risk
assessment.
The toxicological parameters used to quantify potential risk to a receptor include
cancer slope factors (CSFs) and reference doses (R.fDs). These values are often derived
from laboratory animal studies. The overriding uncertainties associated with the use of
laboratory animal studies are as follows:
5-5
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\final\Final SWMU69 CMS.doc
• the extrapolation of toxic effects observed at the high dose necessary to conduct
- animal studies to effects that might occur at the much lower, environmentally
relevant doses;
• and the extrapolation from toxic effects in animals to toxic effects in man (i.e., the
potential for animal responses to differ from responses of man).
USEPA has derived CSFs using a weight -of -evidence approach from studies in the
scientific literature. The CSFs represent the upper 95 percent confidence limits on the
slope of the dose response curve for carcinogenic responses. Because CSFs represent the
near upper limits of the slope of the line, the use of the CSF is more likely to
overestimate the actual risk than to underestimate it.
The risk characterization evaluates the potential risks associated with exposure to
numerous constituents via multiple pathways. There is uncertainty associated with
exposure to constituent mixtures because constituents may have synergistic or
antagonistic effects on other constituents. For the purposes of this risk assessment, it was
assumed that all constituents have additive toxicity and that the potential health effects
would be equal to the sum of each of the individual constituent actions for constituents
that act upon the same target organ. This may result in the overestimation or
underestimation of certain risks.
In general, sources of uncertainty may be categorized into site -specific factors (e.g.,
variability in analytical data, modeling results, and exposure parameter assumptions) and
toxicity factors. The use of conservative assumptions in the risk assessment is believed to
result in an overestimation of risk. Actual site risks are likely to be lower than the
estimates presented here.
5.4 REMEDIAL GOAL OPTIONS
Risk -based Remedial Goal Options (RGOs) have been developed for the groundwater
pathway for residential land use based on the risk levels calculated from the 2002
analytical data collected during the Supplemental RFI. RGOs were calculated for the
three COCs in the groundwater that were identified during the Supplemental RFI. COCs
are the most significant contaminants in an exposure scenario that exceed an excess
cancer risk level of 1.0 x 1076 or a hazard quotient (HQ) of 1.0. Three of the four COPCs
were retained as COCs for development of RGOs. The ILCR for chloroform was below
• both the 10-6 risk level for all receptors, and the maximum detected concentrations
(MDCs) (5.6 µg/L) was below the NC 2L standard for chloroform (70 µg/L). Therefore,
chloroform is. not considered to present a significant risk to groundwater receptors and is
eliminated from further evaluation.
The RGOs are guidelines and are not meant to establish cleanup criteria, but are a
summary of cleanup goals that provides the risk manager with a range of risk:related
levels to use as a basis for developing a remediation or risk management strategy. RGOs
have been calculated for COCs based on a target- risk level of 1.0 x 10-6, 1.0 x 10-5, and
1.0 x 10-4 for carcinogens; and a total HI level of 0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 for the non -carcinogens,.
respectively. Table 5.2 presents a summary of the RGOs for a future residential scenario.
The RGOs were calculated using the simplified equation described in the USEPA Region
4 (1996b):

The MDCs for all three COCs are below the USEPA MCLs. The MCLs are
promulgated by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations and are legally
enforceable standards meant to protect drinking water quality. USEPA Region 4 uses a
total incremental risk level of between 1 x 10-6 and a 1 x 10 as an "acceptable level' of
risk and risks that exceed a 1 x 10-4 level as a "trigger" to require some remedial activity.
RGOs are presented for each COC for those receptors that had an ILCR that was greater
than 1 x 10-6. No receptor had an ILCR that exceeded 1 x 10-4 for any COC.
Of the remaining chemicals of concern, the MDC of tetrachloroethene (32 µg/L)
exceeds the RGO calculated at the 10-4 risk level for future adult residents (16 µg/L), the
USEPA MCLs (5 µg/L) and the North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standard of 0.7 µg/L.
The MDC for trichloroethene (91 µg/L) does not exceed the RGO calculated at the 10-4
risk level (620 µg/L) but does exceed the 10-5 risk level (62 µg/L for children and 59 for
adult residents), the EPA MCL (5 µg/L) and the NC 2L Standard of 2.8 µg/L. The MDC
for 1,1,2,2-TeCA (1.8 µg/L) does not exceed the 10-5 risk level for any receptor, but does
exceed the NC 2L Standard of 0.17 jig/L. Recommended remediation goals are NC 2L
standards.

SECTION 6
JUSTIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE
ACTION ALTERNATIVES
The groundwater media at SWMU 69 remains the only media for which corrective
action is warranted. Groundwater detections exceed the risk -based screening criteria and
NC 2L standards. A human -health risk assessment for the groundwater at SWMU 69
found that there was no risk to any current receptors, as there is no current use of
groundwater at this site for either residential or industrial purposes. Incremental lifetime
risks were calculated for future residential receptors and industrial workers. Future
carcinogenic risks were found within the 10-6 to 10-4 range of acceptable risk. Generally,
risk levels that exceed the 10-4 level will trigger a remedial action (USEPA Region 4,
1996b). ,
North Carolina requires that groundwater be remediated to the NC 2L standards. PCE
and TCE have been detected in the majority of the groundwater samples collected at
SWMU 69, with random detections of 1,1,2,2-TeCA in a few samples. 1,1,2,2-TeCA was
not detected in any samples during the October 2000 sampling event. Because there are
exceedences of the North Carolina Groundwater Standards for the COCs in the
groundwater at this site, corrective action is warranted. The objective .of the corrective
action will be to prevent future human exposures to unacceptable levels of site COCs
(PCE, TCE, and 1,1,2,2-TeCA) in the groundwater.
Corrective action objectives are developed as guidelines in the selection and
evaluation of remedial alternatives. Corrective measures objectives are designed to meet
the requirements of five basic criteria established by the EPA. These are: 1) to protect
human health and the environment; 2) attain clean up standards set by the implementing
agency; 3) control the source of release to reduce or eliminate further releases; 4) comply
with any applicable standards for management of wastes, and 5) other factors.
6.1 CORRECTIVE MEASURES OBJECTIVES
Corrective action objectives have been developed for SWMU 69 based on the site
related contaminants, physical conditions, identification of applicable, relevant and/or
appropriate requirements (ARARs), and the baseline risk assessment. These objectives
are to:
• Prevent current human exposures to the chemicals of concern in the groundwater
through the ingestion, inhalation and dermal pathways. Currently the groundwater
pathway is incomplete as there are no drinking water wells within and around
SWMU 69 indicating the potential risk to future residential receptors is low and
within accepted levels.
• Prevent future human exposure to unacceptable levels of chemicals of concern in
the groundwater through the ingestion, inhalation and dermal pathways.
6-1
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
• Reduce the levels of COCs in the groundwater to meet the North Carolina 21, r,
f�
standards. .
The selected corrective actions will be technologies that will reduce concentrations in
the groundwater and achieve the best overall results with respect to such factors as
effectiveness, implementability and cost.
6.2 IDENTIFICATION OF REMEDIAL LEVELS
The North Carolina 21, groundwater standards are required by. NCDENR as the
remedial levels for the groundwater for SWMU 69. The maximum detections of PCE,
TCE, and 1,1,2,2-TeCA exceeded the North Carolina 2L groundwater standards.

SECTION 7
SCREENING OF CORRECTIVE ACTION ALTERNATIVES
This section identifies corrective action process options/technologies applicable to
groundwater at SWMU 69 and screens the process options/technologies with respect to
effectiveness, implementability, and cost. The process options/technologies that are
retained following the screening process are combined into site -wide corrective action
alternatives that address various levels of protectiveness of human health and
environment. The corrective action alternatives are then described and evaluated in more
detail with respect to RCRA standards in accordance with EPA guidance (EPA 1994)
consisting of protecting human health and the environment, attaining media cleanup
standards, controlling the source of release, compliance with applicable standards, and
other factors (long-term reliability and effectiveness, reduction in toxicity, mobility, or
volume of wastes, implementability, and cost). Based on this evaluation, a site -wide
alternative is selected for detailed conceptual design -and evaluation.
7.1 SCREENING CRITERIA
Specific site conditions either favor or limit the use of a particular technology. If a
technology could not easily be implemented or was thought to be ineffective, it was
eliminated from further consideration. Descriptions of these criteria are,�sfoll6ws:
Effectiveness. The effectiveness of a corrective action is measured by the degree to
which it protects human health and the environment: The reduction of toxicity, mobility,
and volume of contaminants is evaluated both as a goal in itself and as a means to
measure the corrective action's ability to protect human health and the environment. Both
short- and long-term aspects of each alternative's effectiveness are evaluated. Short-term
effectiveness refers to the period during implementation and remedial construction. Risks
posed by remedial activities to construction workers, equipment operators, and the public
during site operations and transportation of contaminated materials to off -site facilities
are evaluated. Long-term effectiveness provides a measure of the alternative's ability to
protect human health and the environment in the future, after corrective action is
complete.
Imnlementability. The implementability criterion is used to evaluate the feasibility of
constructing, operating, and maintaining the corrective action. The technical aspect of
feasibility refers to the ability to reliably construct, operate, and meet regulations for the
technology until the corrective action is complete. It includes long-term operation,
maintenance, and monitoring considerations in the future, as well as availability of
materials and accessibility of the site. The administrative aspect is assessed by evaluating
the regulatory requirements to obtain approvals for the technology proposed. Availability
and capacity of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities are also assessed where
necessary.
7-1
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
Cost. At this level of corrective action development, alternatives are assessed based on
order -of -magnitude costs. In general, costs are not used to compare treatment to non-
treatment alternatives. Capital and operation/maintenance costs are considered in this
section, as well as the potential for future corrective action costs.
7.2 IDENTIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR GROUNDWATER
Categories of remedial technologies were identified based on a review of literature,
vendor information, performance data, applicability to the site contaminants, and the
ability to meet remediation goals. Technologies considered to be potentially applicable to
attaining the corrective action objectives were selected for further screening.
Technologies have been grouped into general process categories. Descriptions of the
general categories are provided below.
No Action. The site will be maintained in its current condition, with no restricted
accesses beyond the existing fencing and structures. Future use would be unrestricted.
Institutional Action. Access to the site would be controlled. Environmental monitoring
would be conducted to record changes in site contamination through time. Future use of
the site would be controlled through the Base Master Plan (BMP). There would be no
reduction in toxicity, mobility, or volume of contaminants except through natural
attenuation. Groundwater long term monitoring (LTM) would be performed to document
changes in COC concentrations and distribution through time.
Monitored Natural Attenuation: Site contaminants would be permitted to degrade through
natural biodegradation and physical/chemical processes. Environmental monitoring of
contaminants and other biogeochemical indicators would be conducted to track the
progress of attenuation processes.
In Situ Treatment. Reactive compounds would be injected or emplaced into the
subsurface soils and/or groundwater to degrade contaminant mass. In -situ treatment
includes both aerobic and anaerobic degradation mechanisms.
Groundwater Extraction and Treatment. Groundwater is pumped from the ground to a
storage tank above ground and processed through a treatment system such as carbon
adsorption to remove COCs. Treated water is then either disposed of through permitted
discharge to surface water or permitted re -injection into the subsurface.

SECTION 8
SELECTION OF' TECHNOLOGIES
A no action alternative and four categories of corrective action process
options/technologies were identified as applicable for chlorinated solvent contamination
in groundwater at SWMU 69: (1) institutional controls: land- and groundwater -use
restrictions and physical barriers, (2) monitored natural attenuation (MNA), (3) in -situ
technologies (e.g., chemical oxidation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation, etc.), and (4)
ex -situ treatment technologies (i.e., pump and treat). The technologies were evaluated
using the screening criteria of effectiveness, implementability, and cost. Results of the
screening are summarized in Table 8.1. Monitoring is also discussed; monitoring would
be a component of any alternative except the no action alternative.
8.1 NO ACTION
The no action option provides a baseline against which other process
options/technologies can be compared: Under this option, no further action would be
taken to mitigate risks posed by groundwater at SWMU 69. Risks to human health and
the environment would remain the same.. Groundwater at SWMU 69 is presently not used
and no restrictions or controls would be placed on the use of groundwater. Future use of
the groundwater is unlikely given the poor production characteristics ii the surf cial
groundwater and the presence of a large electrical substation and associated high voltage
power lines in the area; however, there are no measures in place to prevent future use.
Contaminants in groundwater would continue to migrate downgradient from the SWMU
69 area, potentially entering the unnamed tributaries to Young Lake where there is the
potential for risk to human health and the environment. Under the "no action" alternative,
groundwater monitoring would not be performed to assess the future levels of
contamination or potential contaminant migration. Groundwater and potentially surface
water contamination 'would continue to exist at unknown levels. No cost would be
associated with the selection of this alternative. The acceptability of the no action option
is judged in relation to the assessment of known site risks and by comparison with other
corrective action technologies. The "no action" alternative is not considered to be a viable
option because it provides no reliable or effective method for protecting human health or
the environment. The no action, option has therefore been eliminated from further
evaluation.
8.2 INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS
Institutional controls are actions taken to restrict access to contaminated areas or
media through the establishment of land- or groundwater -use restrictions or by
construction of physical barriers. Land- and groundwater -use restrictions include those
implemented through the BMP. Groundwater -use restrictions would be placed on the
groundwater preventing its use for drinking water or irrigation. Land- and groundwater-

use restrictions would be documented and implemented at Fort Bragg through the BUT.
Currently, SWMU 69 is part of a federal installation and is expected to be retained by the
federal government for the indefinite future. As such, land- and groundwater -use
restrictions would be implemented as specified in the facility BMP.
Land -use restrictions and would provide an effective, readily implementable, and cost-
effective method for reducing the potential for human exposure to contaminants at the
site. Groundwater -use restrictions would ..be effective at preventing exposure to the
contaminants in groundwater. Costs related to institutional controls would be minimal
and implementation could be immediate. However, land use restrictions would not
reduce the toxicity, mobility, or mass of contaminants, nor reduce the potential for the
migration of contaminants from the site. Therefore, institutional controls will not be
considered as a stand-alone technology but will be combined with other more active
process options/technologies to, ensure their protectiveness during the corrective action
period.
8.3 MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION
Natural attenuation or intrinsic remediation is defined as the measurable reduction in
the concentration and mass of a substance in groundwater due to naturally occurring
physical, chemical, and biological processes without human intervention. These
processes include, but are not limited to, dispersion, diffusion, volatilization, sorption,
retardation, and biodegradation. Many organic compounds are degraded in the subsurface
environment by both biological and abiotic mechanisms. However, biological
mechanisms tend to dominate in most groundwater systems and, therefore, are the
primary destructive natural attenuation mechanism.
The primary process for natural biodegradation of the more highly chlorinated species
is biologically mediated sequential anaerobic reductive dechlorination: ,;This involves the
microbial transformations of chlorinated solvents under anaerobic conditions (without
oxygen) that convert highly chlorinated solvent species to less chlorinated solvent species
by replacing chlorine atoms with hydrogen atoms. The chlorinated ethene chain is
sequentially dechlorinated from the parent compound PCE through TCE, cis-1,2-DCE,
VC, to the reaction end product ethene. Reductive dechlorination only occurs under
anaerobic conditions where dissolved oxygen is absent and where the groundwater ORP
values are below zero.
Secondary degradation processes that effect chlorinated solvents include aerobic
cometabolism, abiotic degradation, and anaerobic oxidation. These processes are less
common than reductive dechlorination, but have been demonstrated to be significant
contributors to contaminant destruction on some sites. These processes may be occurring
at SWMU 69, but have not -been documented.
Non-destructive MNA mechanisms that will serve to reduce contaminant
concentrations include dilution, dispersion, volatilization, and sorption. These non-
destructive mechanisms occur at all contaminated sites and are established by monitoring
contaminant concentrations over time to document decreasing contaminant concentration
trends.
The MNA remedial option will not be retained as a stand alone option for further
evaluation because it is unlikely that the non-destructive MNA mechanisms alone will be
sufficient to reduce contaminant concentrations at SWMU 69 within a reasonable time
8-3
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
frame. In addition, MNA alone is not protective of potential receptors. However, MNA
could be employed in combination with institutional controls (Section 8.2) to ensure the
protection of human health and the environment over the typically longer implementation
times required to meet remedial levels. In addition, MNA could be combined with more
active technologies to meet the RROs for the site in a more reasonable timeframe. MNA
is retained for further consideration in conjunction with ICs and more active remedial
approaches only.
8.4 IN -SITU TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES
In -situ treatment technologies generally involve the injection or emplacement of
reactive media designed to destroy contaminant mass in the subsurface without removing
any contaminated media (e.g., soil, soil vapor, or groundwater). There are three general
categories of in -situ contaminant destruction mechanisms or configuration approaches
that can be employed to destroy contaminants present in the SWMU 69 plume (PCE,
TCE, and 1,1,2,2-PCA); in=situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), enhanced bioremediation;
and permeable reactive barriers.
8.4.1 ISCO
ISCO involves the injection of an oxidiz_na agent, and potentially a catalyst, to oxidize
tcrra e e c lormated solvents in groundwater. The nrimary chemical oxidation
agents are hvdroaen peroxide, vermanganate, ozone, and Fenton's reagentTM (hydrogen
peroxide and iron). During the ISCO process the oxidant chemicals react with the
contaminant producing innocuous substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and
inorganic chloride. Classes of chemicals that are amenable to treatment by ISCO include
benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), chlorinated solvents, polyaromatic -
hydrocarbons, and many other organic compounds.
The chemical oxidant is typically injected through a series of injection wells or
temporary points established on a grid basis throughout the impacted area. ISCO relies
on contact based chemical reactions and is effective only if the oxidant can be emplaced
in such a way that the entire contaminated volume is blanketed with the oxidant. Any
distribution gaps or areas of low permeability will result in contaminant concentration
rebound immediately after the completion of the ISCO injection. Chemical oxidation
typically is more appropriate for contaminant plumes with higher contaminant
concentrations and not the relatively large low concentrated contaminant plume at
SWMU. 69. Multiple oxidant injections are typically required to destroy sufficient
contaminant mass to reach remedial goals. ISCO is retained for further evaluation as a
potential remedial option for the SWMU 69 plume.
8.4.2 Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation
The second in -situ destruction mechanism t sideration fora lication at
U 69 is enhanced anaerobic bioremediation (enhanced anaerobic reductive
,hlorma ion . Reductive dechlorination is the most prominent mechanism by which
chlorinated VL)L;s are biologically aegradea ana taxes place unaer anaerobic (no oxygen)
conditions. The degradation pathways for 1,1,2,2-PCA; PCE; and TCE is presented in
Ti:i�e 5 1. Anaerobic reductive dechlorination is a process in which anaerobic
microorganisms substitute hydrogen for chlorine on the chlorinated solvent. This
naturally occurring process can be enhanced or augmented by adding organic substrate
that acts as a food source for the microbial population and a molecular hydrogen source
8-4
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\tina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
to provide hydrogen necessary for reductive dechlorination. There are a number of
'J organic substrates that have been injected into the subsurface at chlorinated solvent sites
to facilitate reductive dechlorination and their selection is based on site -specific
conditions. These include both liquids (sodium lactate, molasses, and vegetable oil) and
solids or semi -solids (HRCTM and chitin). Site -specific geochemistry conditions
determine whether reductive dechlorination can be effectively initiated and maintained in
the subsurface.
Elevated DO concentrations and positive ORP conditions were measured during
groundwater sampling at SWMU 69, indicating an aerobic and nonreducing subsurface
environment at SWMU 69. These natural conditions are not conducive to anaerobic
reductive dechlorination; however, they can be overcome by adding sufficient organic
substrate. The relatively high groundwater flow rates (-100 ft/year) may complicate the
maintenance of anaerobic conditions. The nitrate and sulfate concentrations in
groundwater ranged from 0.3 to 3.3 mg/L and less than 1.0 to 9.6 mg/L, respectively.
Low to moderate nitrate and sulfate concentrations greater than 1.0 and 20 mg/L,
respectively, may compete with the reductive pathway but will not preclude the initiation
and maintenance of anaerobic conditions necessary for reductive dechlorination (AFCEE
2004). In addition, total iron concentrations in groundwater ranged from less than 0.2 to
17.0 mg/L, indicating that iron is also present at low to moderate concentrations at
SWMU 69. Moderate concentrations of iron represent an inefficiency to anaerobic
dechlorination similar to other competing electron acceptors (AFCEE 2004).
The low to moderate concentrations of competing electron acceptors present at
SWMU 69 do not preclude the implementation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination at
SWMU 69. However, they will put an additional demand on the quantity of electron
donors that are required to obtain and maintain the proper environment for. anaerobic
reductive dechlorination to be successful. Analysis of contaminant coiieentrations in the
source area indicate that reductive dechlorination has not occurred on site in the past
(Section 5.0) due to naturally occurring aerobic conditions at SWMU 69. While naturally
occurring aerobic conditions will likely delay the onset of complete reductive
dechlorination and is thus. a negative factor, the presence of naturally aerobic conditions
is a positive factor as well in that any VC produced through reductive dechlorination will
not migrate beyond the treatment area because VC is degraded very rapidly under aerobic
conditions.
Given the large plume size with relatively low concentrations of chlorinated solvent
contaminants and the low to moderate concentrations of competing electron receptors
SWMU 69 is a good candidate for application of anaerobic reductive dechlorination for
plume treatment.
A combination of soluble (e.g., high fructose corn syrup) and slow release (e.g.,
vegetable oil) carbon substrates is particularly well -suited for the SWMU 69 source area.
The soluble substrate will begin to biodegrade immediately, driving the groundwater
geochemistry into anaerobic conditions. The slow release substrate will help maintain
these conditions over the long term.
A pH amendment product such as sodium bicarbonate will also be added to maintain
neutral pH conditions, optimal for chlorinated solvent biodegradation. Some of the
injection points can be completed. as small diameter wells so that supplemental carbon
substrate, pH amendment, and if necessary, bioaugmentation culture can be added.
8-5
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\final\Final SWMU69 CMS.doc
Generally, microorganisms capable of reductive dechlorination are ubiquitous in thef
environment, but may take time to generate a population sufficient to provide significant
biodegradation. If this process is slow in developing, bioaugmentation can accelerate the
process.
In situ enhanced anaerobic bioremediation is retained for further evaluation as a
potential remedial option for the SWMU 69 plume.
8.4.3 Permeable Reactive Barriers
Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) using zero-valent iron or other reactive media are
a passive in -situ treatment technology that has been demonstrated to be successful in
treating chlorinated solvents contamination in groundwater. Permeable reactive barriers
are trenches excavated perpendicular to the groundwater flow path and backfilled with a
reactive medium. The reactive barrier can be designed and constructed to be permanently
left in -place or can consist of cassettes of treatment medium that can be periodically
replaced. As the contaminated groundwater flows through the wall, the contaminants are
removed by physical and chemical processes including precipitation, sorption,
oxidation/reduction, fixation, and degradation.
Several methods have been developed for construction of permeable reactive walls to
as deep as 100 ft BGS; however, typical construction techniques are applicable to shallow
emplacements less than 35 ft in depth. In the simplest case, a trench of the appropriate
width can be excavated by a backhoe, tracked excavator, trencher, or similar equipment
to intercept the flow of the contaminated groundwater.
The contaminant plume that has been defined at SWIVIU 69 is a relatively large diffuse
plume with several hotspots that are interpreted to be areas where small contaminant
spills may have taken place. If a PRB were to be installed at SWMU 69, the appropriate
installation location would be downgradient of the defined hot spots. The topography in
the area downgradient of the hot spots consists of relatively steep banks and wetlands
which are inaccessible to trenching equipment. In addition, the construction of a PRB in
this area would result in significant impacts to the wetlands and associated sensitive
habitats. Thus, the PRB alternative has been eliminated for further consideration at
SWMU 69.

Pump -and -treat technologies consist of the installation of a series of extraction wells
or subsurface drains in the area of the plume that are typically manifolded together and
connected to a common treatment system(s). Groundwater is pumped/extracted from the
aquifer to a treatment system. The treatment processes are specific to the contaminants in
the groundwater. For the COCs at SWMU 69, various treatment systems ranging from
ex -situ air stripping to ' activated carbon are applicable. Discharge of any treated
groundwater from the treatment system would require a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit to discharge the treated water.
Site -wide pump -and -treat technologies were eliminated because the large size of the
contaminated groundwater plume (more than 36 acres) and the relatively diffuse nature of
the SWMU 69 contaminant plume. The large plume area would require an extensive
number of extraction wells manifolded together and would generate large quantities of
water requiring treatment. At the same time the extraction wells needed to capture the
plume would only extract groundwater containing low contaminant concentrations. r
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
Thus, the cost per unit mass of contaminant removed would be extremely high. In
- addition, a large part of the plume is inaccessible due to the presence of the electrical
substation built on site and the presence of the wetland/marsh area located at the
confluence of the two unnamed Young Lake tributaries.
8.6 MONITORING
Monitoring of groundwater and potentially surface water is required to ensure the
protection of human health and the enviroriinent and to evaluate the performance of an
implemented corrective action. The monitoring requirements (sample schedule, number
of samples, locations, etc.) would be specific for the selected corrective action alternative.
The description and purpose of the monitoring of each media will be discussed in the
following sections.
Groundwater monitoring would be performed in selected monitoring wells at SWMU
69 to evaluate the performance of an implemented corrective action. The groundwater
would be sampled using low -flow techniques to reduce the impact of turbidity on the
groundwater samples. At a minimum, the groundwater samples would be analyzed for
VOCs to evaluate the concentrations of identified contaminants and potential degradation
products in groundwater. In addition, field parameters such as turbidity, DO, temperature,
Redox, and pH would be measured from each well where groundwater samples were
collected. Water' levels would be collected at the monitoring wells to develop
groundwater potentiometric maps. Additional analysis may be performed on groundwater
for the implementation of specific alternatives. For example, natural attenuation
parameters would be collected for alternatives in which MNA was part of the alternative,
- - or geochemistry (nitrate, sulfate, TOC, etc.) samples may be collected for in -situ
treatment alternatives. Specific sample requirements for groundwater will be discussed as
part of each alternative.
Surface water samples may be collected to evaluate potential contaminant migration
from groundwater to the unnamed tributaries to Young Lake. At a minimum, the surface
water samples would be analyzed for the COCs in groundwater migrating from SWMU
69 (PCE, TCE, and 1,1,2,2-PCA). Specific sample requirements for surface water will be
discussed as part of each site -wide alternative.

SECTION 9
EVALUATION OF CORRECTfVE ACTION ALTERNATIVES FOR
GROUNDWATER
Following the OSWER 1994 RCRA Corrective Action Plan guidance, SWMU 69
does not present a significant risk because (1) it has only one media of concern
(groundwater), (2) there is no source area remaining, and (3) levels of contamination in
the groundwater are relatively low. SWMU 69 also does not present a current risk to
human health or the environment. For these reasons, it is. appropriate to perform a
streamlined or limited remedial action for SWMU 69. As such, this corrective measures
study will focus on in situ remediation technologies that have been proven successful in
reducing low levels of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the past at other sites.
These .in -situ technologies. are combined and developed_ into corrective action
alternatives_, in this section. Five corrective action alternatives have been identified that
would meet the remedial response objectives of protecting human health and reducing
groundwater concentrations of the COCs to acceptable levels. These alternatives will be
evaluated and further assessed in this section.
Costs estimated are based only on the conceptual designs and are meant to be used
only for the comparisons of the corrective action alternatives.,.
9.1 ALTERNATIVE 1- INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS WITH MONITORED
NATURAL ATTENUATION
Under Alternative 1, no active remedial technology would be applied to reduce the
volume or concentrations of the COCs at SWMU 69. Currently there is no risk to human
health from the groundwater as it is not used for a source of.potable water. Potential risks
to human health in the future would be managed by restricting groundwater and land use
in the SWMU 69 area. These restrictions would prohibit the installation of potable water
wells in the surficial aquifer by amending the Fort Bragg Master Plan. A long-term
environmental sampling program would be required to monitor the changes in
contaminant concentrations and distribution over time. Approximately fourteen wells
(including one new well) and one surface water sampling location would be monitored
annually for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters and a Corrective Action Plan
Progress Report would be generated annually. The progress report would also document
the condition of the site monitoring wells, repairs that are needed, and the location of the
land use controls.
The capital cost for alternative one would consist of the preparation of a site decision
document and the installation of one new monitoring well north of Butner Road (Figure
9.1). It is estimated that the preparation of the record of decision and the installation of
the new well will cost approximately $110,000. The only other possible costs associated
with alternative one would include the installation of signage associated with the land use
i
i
- 9-1
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU=69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
controls. The capitol costs associated with the land use control signage would be t
negligible.
Operations and maintenance (O&M) costs for alternative one for a 60-year period are
estimated to be approximately $743,000.00. The unit rates that were used to develop this
estimate are drawn from the previous version of the SWMU-69 CMS (USACE, 2006).
O&M costs include sample collection, data validation, and annual or biannual reporting
as appropriate. It is assumed that groundwater sampling would be conducted on an
annual (1 event per year) frequency during years 1 through 4. Following year 4 it is
assumed that sufficient data will have been collected to demonstrate that the SWW 69
plume is stable and that COC concentration trends in the plume hot spots are also stable
or downward. If the plume can be demonstrated to be stable or shrinking, then the
sampling frequency for the plume interior wells could be reduced to biennial (one every
two years) while the plume sentry wells would remain on an annual sampling schedule.
By year 11 the SWMU 69 plume is expected to be shrinking and COC concentrations are
expected to be decreasing. Thus, it is assumed that the entire SWMU 69 monitoring well
network could be moved to a biennial schedule.
The total cost for Alternative 1 would be approximately $853,000.00. Detailed costs
for this alternative are presented in Table 9. L Land use restrictions and groundwater
monitoring would continue until COC concentrations declined below the NC 2L
standards.
9.2 ALTERNATIVE 2 —INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS AND IN SITU
ORGANIC SUBSTRATE ADDITION IN 5 TREATMENT AREAS
This alternative would consist of injecting organic substrate in a series of direct push -�
boreholes across the flow path of the plume, allowing the groundwater to move through
the injection zone. The contaminants would be degraded in situ through a series of -`
chemical and biological reactions. The organic substrate would likely consist of a mixture
of slowly soluble vegetable oil and soluble fructose or sodium lactate. Naturally
occurring anaerobic or facultative microbes would metabolize the substrates, producing
dissolved hydrogen necessary for reductive dechlorination. The hydrogen would be used
by the microbes to dechlorinate the TCE and PCE. Because of the low concentrations of
COCs and competing electron acceptors and the hydrologic characteristics of the aquifer,
the vegetable oil substrate is expected to supply organic carbon and hydrogen for a period
of 3 to 5 years.
The length and width of the groundwater plume at SWMU 69 occupies a large,
widespread area. Because of the large size of the plume and the relatively low
contaminant concentrations in most areas, it would not be cost effective to treat the entire
area of the plume. Instead, five areas within and around SWMU 69 have been identified
in which detected concentrations of COCs have exceeded the NC 2L standards for the
majority of the detections reported in the past. Figure 9.1 depicts the locations of these
five zones. Organic substrate would be applied within these zones in a grid pattern. The
total area within the five injection zones is approximately 2,400,000 square feet (ftz).
COCs in the remaining plume area would be attenuated through natural attenuation
mechanisms. Potential risks to human health in the future would be managed by
restricting groundwater and land use in the SWMU 69 area. These restrictions would
prohibit the installation of potable water wells in the surficial aquifer by amending the
Fort Bragg BMP. A long-term environmental sampling program would be required to

9-5
monitor changes in contaminant concentrations and distribution over time.
Approximately fourteen wells (including one new well) and two surface water sampling
locations would be monitored annually for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters and
a Corrective Action Plan Progress Report would be generated periodially. The progress
report would also document the condition of the site monitoring wells, repairs that are
needed, and the location of the land use controls. The active remedial processes
presented in this alternative will serve to reduce the amount of time required to reach NC
2L standards within_ the SWMU 69 plume extent, thereby reducing the monitoring time
period and time that land use controls (LUCs) would be in place.
The organic substrate would be delivered to the subsurface by direct push injection
though readily available equipment. The organic substrate would be emulsified with
water and pumped under low pressure as a dilute vegetable oil -in -water emulsion into the
formation through the zone of interest as the push rods are retracted. For SWMU 69, the
volume of organic substrate estimated for all five zones is approximately 170,000 lbs.
The organic substrate would be injected at a concentration of approximately 5 to 10
percent using 410 injection points. The injection points would be spaced over each area
in rows that are 200 feet apart in the direction of the groundwater flow. Within each row,
the injection points would be spaced 10 feet apart. The estimated time for application
would be 200 days. The application of alternative 2 will require the removal of numerous
trees, the construction of access routes through wetland areas, and the temporary
shutdown of the -electrical substation in order to allow the safe operation of drilling rigs
and injection equipment within the substation footprint.
Semi-annual groundwater monitoring would be needed to evaluate the progress of the
organic substrate induced degradation during the first year after substrate injection. After
the first year monitoring events could be conducted annually during years 2 and 3. It is -_
expected that monitoring frequency could be reduced after the effectiveness of the
treatment application has been demonstrated. It is assumed for costing purposes that
during years 4 through 10 the monitoring frequency for plume core wells will be reduced
to biennial and that the site sentinel wells would remain on an annual frequency to ensure
that the contaminant plume remains stable. Following year 10 the majority of the
contaminant mass associated with SWMU 69 will be destroyed and COC concentrations
will be nearing NC 2L standards. Refer to Appendix C for performance data supporting
the 10-year estimate. It is assumed for costing purposes that the monitoring frequency
for all wells on site will be reduced to biennial. Many monitoring wells that currently
have groundwater COC concentrations above NC 2L standards will likely,be below
standards by year 10 and these "clean" wells could be removed from the sampling
program. However, all monitoring wells are retained to yield a conservative cost
estimate. Groundwater parameters to be monitored would include VOCs to evaluate the
reduction in COCs, field parameters to evaluate the change in oxidation-reduction
potential and electron donor parameters such as total organic carbon and metabolic acids
to evaluate the effectiveness and longevity of the organic substrate. Groundwater
elevations should be measured in all wells and piezometers (28 total) once a year to
provide updated groundwater elevation data.
A baseline groundwater monitoring event will be required prior to injection to
establish pre -injection contaminant and geochemical conditions. The application areas
would be refined based on the results of the baseline sampling event. After an initial
period of 6 months, the first performance monitoring event should be conducted. If it is
9-6
SAES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
demonstrated that the organic substrate has been effective in changing the subsurface
J conditions from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic environment, then a
commercially available microbial culture containing mixture of microbes known to be
capable of completely dechlorinating TCE would be considered for injection into the
subsurface to stimulate more rapid contaminant destruction rates. The bioaugmentation
step is considered a potential contingency that may be deployed in the event that this
remedial action is not working as rapidly as expected. However, for costing purposes it
is assumed that the, bioaugmentation contingency will be deployed. Microbial
bioaugmentation products are readily available through commercial vendors.
An additional application of organic substrate might be necessary in some areas where
the substrate becomes depleted before COC concentrations reach remedial goals. The
sampling results obtained will indicate which areas might need a supplemental injection.
Institutional controls prohibiting the installation of drinking water wells within the plume
should be instituted until desired remediation goals are met.
Estimated capital costs for well installation and organic substrate injection are
$1,009,000.00. This installation cost includes funds to conduct a technology
demonstration pilot test to ensure that the organic substrate addition technology is
effective at reaching NC 2L standards at SWMU 69.
O&M costs -for Alternative 2 for a 20-year period are estimated to be approximately
$413,000.00:� It is assumed, based on technology performance at other sites with similar
characteristics, that the injection of organic substrate will reduce the time required to
reach NC 2L standards at SWMU 69 by approximately 65 percent (40 years) (appendix
Q. The unit rates that were used to develop .this estimate are drawn from the previous
version of the SWMU-69 CMS (USACE, 2006). O&M costs include sample collection;
data validation, and annual or biennial reporting as appropriate. ,It Js -assumed that
groundwater sampling would be conducted on a semi-annual (2 events per year)
frequency during the first year following substrate injection and that the monitoring
frequency would be reduced to annual for years 2 through 4. Following year 4 it is
assumed that sufficient data will have been collected to demonstrate that the SWMU 69
plume is stable and that COC concentration trends in the plume hot spots are also stable
or decreasing. If the plume can be demonstrated to be stable or shrinking, the sampling
frequency for the plume interior wells could be reduced to biennial while the plume
sentry wells would remain on an annual sampling schedule. By year 11 the SWMU 69
plume is expected to be shrinking and COC concentrations are expected to be decreasing.
Thus, it is assumed that the entire SWMU 69 monitoring well network could be moved'to
a biennial schedule.
The total cost for Alternative 2 would be approximately $1,422,000.00. Detailed costs
for this alternative are presented in Table 9.1. Land use restrictions and groundwater
monitoring would continue until COC concentrations declined below the NC 2L
standards.
9.3 ALTERNATIVE 3 - INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS AND IN SITU
ORGANIC SUBSTRATE ADDITION - HOT SPOTS ONLY
This alternative would also consist of injecting organic substrate (vegetable oil and
lactate or fructose) into the subsurface to induce biodegradation of the COCs. Areas with
the highest detected concentration would be targeted for a more localized treatment. The
goal would be to reduce the potential risk to future receptors by using institutional
9-7
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
controls and also reduce the overall concentrations within the groundwater plume by'�
reducing those areas with the highest concentrations.
Areas around five monitoring wells (69MW1, 69MW6, 69MW 18D, 69MW 19D, and
69MW21D) have been identified as hot spots based on historical ground -water
monitoring data. Figure 9.2 shows the locations identified for "hot spot" treatment.
Injection points would be placed in overlapping arcs installed immediately upgradient of
the identified hot spots to ensure adequate coverage and substrate distribution. This
would allow the groundwater flow to consistently supply the hot spot area with the
substrate derived organic carbon and molecular hydrogen.
COCs in the remaining plume area would be attenuated through natural attenuation
mechanisms. Potential risks to human health in the future would be managed by
restricting groundwater and land use in the SWMU 69 area. These restrictions would
prohibit the installation of potable water wells in the surficial aquifer by amending the
Fort Bragg Master Plan. A long-term environmental sampling program would be required
to monitor the changes in contaminant concentrations and distribution over time.
Approximately fourteen wells (including one new well) and two surface water sampling
locations would be monitored annually for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters and
a Corrective Action Progress Report would be generated annually. The progress report
would also document the condition of the -site monitoring wells, repairs that are needed,
and the location of the land use controls. The active remedial processes presented in this
alternative will serve to reduce the amount of time required to reach NC 2L standards
within the SWMU 69 plume extent, thereby reducing the monitoring time period and
time that LUCs would be in place.
A baseline groundwater monitoring event will be required prior to injection ' to r ,
establish pre -injection contaminant and geochemical conditions. The application areas ` may be refined based on the results of the baseline sampling event. Semi-annual
groundwater monitoring would be needed to evaluate the progress of this alternative
during the first year following substrate injection. After an initial period of 6 months, the
first performance monitoring event should be conducted. If it is demonstrated that the
organic substrate has been effective in changing the subsurface conditions from an
aerobic environment to an anaerobic environment, then a commercially available
microbial culture containing a mixture of microbes known to be capable of completely
dechlorinating TCE may be considered for injection into the subsurface to stimulate more
rapid contaminant destruction rates. The bioaugmentation step is considered- to be a
potential contingency application that may be deployed in the event that this remedial
action is not working as rapidly as desired. However, for costing purposes it is assumed
that the bioaugmentation contingency will be deployed:
An additional application of organic substrate may be necessary in some areas where
the substrate becomes depleted before COC concentrations reach remedial goals. The
sampling results obtained will indicate which areas might need a supplemental injection.
Institutional controls prohibiting the installation of drinking water wells within the plume
should be instituted and enforced until desired remediation goals are met. For costing
purposes it is assumed that the second injection contingency will be required.

Estimated capital costs for well installation and organic substrate injection in the 5
defined hot spots are $493,860.00. This installation cost includes funds to conduct a
technology demonstration pilot test to ensure that the organic substrate addition
technology is effective at reaching NC 2L standards at SWMU 69.
O&M costs for Alternative 3 for a 20-year period are estimated to be approximately
$413,000.00. It is assumed, based on technology performance at other sites with similar
characteristics, that the injection of organic' substrate will reduce the time required to
reach NC 2L standards at SWMU 69 by approximately 65 percent (40 years). The unit
rates that were used to develop this estimate are drawn from the previous version of the
SWMU-69 CMS (USACE, 2006). O&M costs include sample collection, data validation,
and annual or biennial reporting as appropriate. A well network optimization study will
be conducted periodically to determine the frequency of future events and which wells
will be sampled during each event. For cost comparison purposes, it is assumed that
groundwater sampling would be conducted on an semi-annual frequency during the first
year following substrate injection and that the monitoring frequency would be reduced to
annual for years 2 through 4. Following year 4 it is assumed that sufficient data will have
been collected to demonstrate that the SWMU 69 plume is stable and that COC
concentration trends in the plume hot spots are also stable or decreasing. If the plume
can be demonstrated to be stable or shrinking, the sampling frequency for the plume
interior wells _could be reduced to biennial while the plume. sentry wells would remain on
an .annual sampling schedule. By year 11 the SWMU 69 plume is expected to be
shrinking and COC concentrations are expected to be decreasing. Thus, it is assumed
that the entire SWMU 69 monitoring well network could be moved to a biennial
schedule.
The total cost for Alternative 3 would be approximately $906,860. ,Detailed costs for
this alternative are presented in Table 9.1. Land use restrictions and groundwater
monitoring would continue until COC concentrations declined below the NC 2L
standards.
9.4 ALTERNATIVE 4 - INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS WITH IN SITU
CHEMICAL OXIDATION USING SODIUM PERMANGANATE IN 5
TREATMENT AREAS
Chemical oxidation is a direct reaction that results in destruction of the COCs in the
subsurface. This alternative would consist of injecting sodium permanganate (NaMn04)
solution into the subsurface within the same five zones discussed for Alternative 2.
Sodium permanganate is an oxidizing agent that, when injected into the plume, reacts
with the contaminants producing carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic chloride. Oxidizers
will also consume naturally occurring organic matter in the subsurface. As many organic
contaminants are sorbed to organic matter, this can result in a release of contaminants to
the subsurface. This is generally considered a benefit for remediation purposes because
more contamination is available for reaction; however, the design must account for both
the sorbed and dissolved phase contamination. Based on available literature, the use of
chemical oxidation would require less time to achieve a reduction in COC concentrations;
however, there is -the possibility that Manganese Oxide (Mn02) could be precipitated,
reducing the porosity in the subsurface. A bench test could also be obtained prior to
decision making to determine contaminant mass reductions and oxidant efficiencies that
can be used to refine the Work Plan.
l
9-11
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
Sodium Permanganate would be injected into the subsurface in a grid pattern similar `
to that discussed in Alternative 2. The same areas identified in Figure 9.1 would be
targeted. Sodium permanganate would be injected using a 40 percent solution. The
number of injection points estimated for Alternative 4 is 1,200, using a total of 40,860
pounds of sodium permanganate. Estimated field time for application is 100 days.
COCs in the remaining plume area would be attenuated through natural attenuation
mechanisms. Potential risks to human health in the future would be managed by
restricting groundwater and land use in the SWMU 69 area. These restrictions would
prohibit the installation of potable water wellg' in the surficial aquifer by amending the
Fort Bragg Master Plan. A long-term environmental sampling program would be required
to monitor the changes in contaminant concentrations and distribution over time.
Approximately fourteen wells (including one new well) and two surface water sampling
locations would be monitored annually for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters and
a Corrective Action Plan Progress Report would be generated periodically. The progress
report would also document the condition of the site monitoring wells, repairs that are
needed, and the location of the land use controls. The active remedial processes
presented in this alternative will serve to reduce the amount of time required to reach NC
2L standards within the SWMU 69 plume extent, thereby reducing Ahe monitoring time
period and time that LUCs would be in place.
Chemical oxidation reactants (including sodium permanganate) are not handled as
easily as the organic substrate -compound. Chemical oxidation reactants are more
reactive, require careful handling when mixing and injecting under pressure; and
represent more significant. health and safety concerns than organic substrates associated
with alternative 3. The equipment used to mix and deliver the sodium permanganate is
more specialized and a more limited number of venders are available for these
applications.
A baseline groundwater monitoring event will be required prior to injection to
establish pre -injection contaminant and geochemical conditions. The application areas
would be refined based on the results of the baseline sampling event. Semi-annual
groundwater monitoring would be needed to evaluate the progress of the induced
oxidation. Groundwater parameters to be monitored should include VOCs to evaluate the
reduction in COCs, and field parameters to evaluate the change in oxidation-reduction
potential and any mobilization of natural metals (in most cases, field and laboratory tests
have found that mobilized metals are readily attenuated back to the original state). An
initial baseline round should also be performed prior to injection. Permanganate can also
be detected in monitoring wells by the purple color; concentrations in groundwater can be
measured in the field using a field spectrophotometer.
Estimated capital costs for well installation and chemical oxidation product injection
in the 5 defined hot spots (Figure 9.1) are $2,845,000.00. This installation cost includes
funds to conduct a technology demonstration pilot test to ensure that the chemical
oxidation technology is effective at reaching NC 2L standards at SWMU 69.
O&M costs for Alternative 4 for a 20-year period are estimated to be approximately
$413,000.00. It is assumed that the injection of sodium permanganate will reduce the
time required to reach NC 2L standards at SWMU 69 by approximately 65 percent (40
years). The unit rates that were used to develop this estimate are drawn from the
previous version of the SWMU-69 CMS (USACE, 2006). O&M costs include sample _
9-12
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
collection, data validation, and annual or biennial reporting as appropriate. It is assumed
that groundwater sampling would be conducted on a semi-annual frequency during the
first year following substrate injection and that the monitoring frequency would be
reduced to annual for years 2 through 4. Following year 4 it is assumed that sufficient
data will have been collected to demonstrate that the SWMU 69 plume is stable and that
COC concentration trends in the plume hot spots are also stable or decreasing. If the
plume can be demonstrated to be stable or shrinking, the sampling frequency for the
plume interior wells could be reduced to ''biennial while the plume sentry wells would
remain on an annual sampling schedule. By year 11 the SWMU 69 plume is expected to
be shrinking and COC concentrations are expected to be decreasing. Thus, it is assumed
that the entire SWMU 69 monitoring well network could be moved to a biennial
schedule.
The total cost for Alternative 4 would be approximately $3,258,000. Detailed costs for
this alternative are presented in Table 9.1. Land use restrictions and groundwater
monitoring would continue until COC concentrations declined below the NC 2L
standards.
9.5 ALTERNATIVE 5 - INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS WITH IN SITU
CHEMICAL OXIDATION USING SODIUM PERMANGANATE - HOT
SPOTS ONLY
This alternative would consist of injecting the sodium permanganate solution in the
same areas discussed in Alternative 3 (Figure 9.2). For each area, 4 to 5 injection points
would .be needed for approximately 140 pounds of solution. Field efforts would take
approximately two days for each hot spot application. Groundwater monitoring of
selected wells for the same parameters discussed in Alternative 4 would be necessary.
- The same health and safety concerns would apply.
COCs in the remaining plume area would be attenuated through natural attenuation
mechanisms. Potential risks to human health in the future would be managed by
restricting groundwater and land use in the SWMU 69 area. - These restrictions would
prohibit the installation of potable water wells in the surficial aquifer by amending the
Fort Bragg Master Plan. A long-term environmental sampling program would be required
to monitor the changes in contaminant concentrations and distribution over time.
Approximately fourteen wells (including one new well) and one surface water sampling
location would be monitored annually for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters and a
Corrective Action Plan Progress Report would be generated annually. The progress report
would also document the condition of the site monitoring wells, repairs that are needed,
and the location of the land use controls. The active remedial processes presented in this
alternative will serve to reduce the amount of time required to reach NC 2L standards
within the SWMU 69 plume extent, thereby reducing the monitoring time period and
time that LUCs would be in place.
A baseline groundwater monitoring event will be required prior to injection to
establish pre -injection contaminant and geochemical conditions. The application areas
would be refined based on the results of the baseline sampling event. Semi-annual
groundwater monitoring would be needed to evaluate the progress of the induced
oxidation. Groundwater parameters to be monitored should include VOCs to evaluate the
reduction in COCs, and field parameters to evaluate the change in oxidation-reduction
potential and any mobilization of natural metals (in most cases, field and laboratory tests
9-13
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
have found that mobilized metals are readily attenuated back to the original state). An
initial baseline round should also be performed prior to injection. Permanganate can also
be detected in monitoring wells by the purple color; concentrations in groundwater can be
measured in the field using a field spectrophotometer.
Estimated capital costs for well installation and chemical oxidation product injection
in the 5 defined hot spots (Figure 10.2) are $657,500.00. This installation cost includes
funds to conduct a technology demonstration pilot test to ensure that the chemical
oxidation technology is effective at reaching NC 2L standards at SWMU 69.
O&M costs for Alternative 4 for a 20-year period are estimated to be approximately
$413,000.00. It is assumed that the injection of sodium permanganate will reduce the
time required to reach NC 2L standards at SWMU 69 by approximately 65 percent (40
years). The unit rates that were used to develop this estimate are drawn from the
previous version of the SWMU-69 CMS (USACE, 2006). O&M costs include sample
collection, data validation, and annual or biennial reporting as appropriate. It is assumed
that groundwater sampling would be conducted on a semi-annual frequency during the
first year following substrate injection and that the monitoring frequency would be
reduced to annual for years 2 through 4. Following year 4 it is assumed that sufficient
data will have been collected to demonstrate that the SWMU 69 plume is stable and that
COC concentration trends in the plume hot spots are also stable or decreasing. If the
plume can be demonstrated to be stable or shrinking, the sampling frequency for the
plume interior wells could be reduced to biennial while the plume sentry wells would
remain on an annual sampling schedule. By year 11 the SWMU 69 plume is expected to
be shrinking and COC concentrations are expected to be decreasing. Thus, it is assumed
that the entire SWMU 69 monitoring well network could be moved- to a biennial
schedule.
The total cost for alternative four would be approximately $1,070,500. Detailed costs
for this alternative are presented in Table 9.1. Land use restrictions and groundwater
monitoring would continue until COC concentrations declined below the NC 2L
standards.

SECTION 10
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES, CONCEPTUAL
DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENTATION. PLAN
This section presents a comparative analysis of the five remedial alternatives that were
presented in detail in Section 9. A conceptual design and plan for implementation of the
selected corrective action alternative is also presented in this section. A cost-effective
corrective action has been selected that will adequately protect human health and the
environment from groundwater and surface water contamination.
10.1 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
A screening of remedial process options. and technologies applicable for chlorinated
solvents in groundwater against site -specific conditions was performed in Sections 8 to
identify applicable process options/technologies that would be effective and
implementable at SWMU 69. The process options. passing the screening were combined
to form five site -wide corrective action alternatives for detailed description and analysis
(Section 9). The five corrective action alternatives selected provided a range of remedial
options from primarily passive treatment technologies (Alternative 1: LUCs combined
with MNA), to four active treatment alternatives (Alternative 2 through 5). This section
presents a comparative analysis of the alternatives against RCRA criteria, which allows
for the selection of an alternative that balances protection of human health, reduction in
risks, and costs. The comparative analysis is summarized in Table 10.1. It should be
noted that the final alternative developed for SWMU 69 may be revised by the risk
managers as additional, site -specific information becomes available by either selecting a
different combination of process options or by evaluating an additional previous process
option that has been screened out.
The following bullets summarize key points concerning SWMU 69 that were
considered during the comparative analysis of alternatives and in the selection of the
recommended alternative:
• Low-level groundwater plume consisting of chlorinated solvents that encompasses
approximately 36 acres. The primary COCs are chlorinated ethenes PCE and TCE
and a chlorinated alkane, 1,1,2,2-TeCA. The maximum concentrations in
groundwater ranged up to approximately 100 µg/L (PCE + TCE).
• The groundwater plume has migrated northward from the SWMU 69 area toward
Butner Road.
• The source area has not been identified at SWMU 69. However, 6 small areas of
elevated VOC concentrations have been identified and may represent separate
small release areas. The six identified "hot spots" are targeted for active treatment
under remedial alternatives 3 and 5.

• Contaminant mass, as represented by PCE and TCE, is spread throughout the 35
acre SWMU 69 plume.
COC Concentrations in groundwater may be migrating to surface water (unnamed
tributaries to Young's Lake). COC concentrations have not been detected above
surface water criteria at or downgradient from SWMU 69.
The contaminant concentrations in groundwater at most monitoring well locations
decrease over time, indicating that natural attenuation is occurring.
• The subsurface groundwater conditions at SWMU 69 are moderately aerobic, as
indicated by high DO concentrations measured during groundwater sampling.
Approximately 35 percent of the defined plume foot print is occupied by an
electrical sub -station and associated high voltage electrical lines and a marsh area
located at the confluence of the two unnamed Young's Lake tributaries. A further
5 percent of the plume area is occupied by steep slopes located on the east and
northeast sides of the electrical substation. Thus, approximately 40 percent of the
plume area is inaccessible.
10.1.1 Protection of Human Health and the Environment
All five alternatives are effective at protecting human health and the environment
through a combination of passive or active measures: Because all of the alternatives are
effective at protecting human health, an evaluation of the time to reach remedial levels
that are protective of human health is the driver in the evaluation.
The Alternative 1 timeframe for meeting remedial levels in groundwater that are
protective of human health is the longest of all the alternatives and is estimated to be
approximately 60 years. The relatively long time frame associated with Alternative 1 is
likely to be reasonable because there were no destructive natural attenuation mechanisms
identified as being active on site. Thus, the only natural attenuation mechanisms that are
10-3
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
likely to be occurring are nondestructive mechanisms such as dilution, dispersion,
volatilization, and sorption.
The remedial time frame for Alternatives 2 through 5 will be shorter than that
associated with Alternative 1 because the active alternatives are designed to destroy
contaminant mass in the "hottest" areas of the plume while allowing natural attenuation
mechanisms to reduce COC concentrations in the low concentration areas of the plume.
It is difficult to predict how much the remedial time frame will be shortened by applying
the active remedial approaches in Alternatives 2 through 5. However, it is likely that the
remedial time frame will be shortened to some extent. Thus, while all five alternatives
are protective of human health and the environment, Alternatives 2 through 5 are more
attractive than Alternative 1 because of the decreased remedial time frames.
10.1.2 Attainment of Media Cleanup Standards
All of the alternatives will attain the media cleanup standards for groundwater and
eventually. All five alternatives rely in whole or in part on natural attenuation processes
to meet groundwater cleanup standards. As discussed in Section 10.1.1, it is likely that
the groundwater remedial standards will be met more quickly by applying alternatives 2,
3,4,or5.
10.1.3 Control of Source of Releases
The source area associated with SWMU 69 has not been defined. However, five hot
spots or areas of elevated COC concentrations have been identified during historic
investigations. Alternative 1 contains no provision for source area or hot spot control
other than non-destructive natural attenuation mechanisms. Alternatives 2 through 5
contain active treatment mechanisms to destroy contaminant mass present in the five "hot
spots," with the goal of reducing the remedial time frame associated with the SWMU 69
plume.
Secondary sources of contamination may exist on the site where contaminants have
diffused and sorbed into clay layers. Once contaminants in more permeable zones are
cleaned up, contaminants diffuse and desorb out of these clay layers into advective
groundwater, a. phenomenon know as "rebound" or "back diffusion." Alternatives 2 and
3 (enhanced bioremediation) have a potential advantage over Alternatives 4 and 5
(ISCO). Enhanced bioremediation generally provides longer lasting treatment (years),
whereas ISCO tends to be fast acting but reactants are rapidly depleted (days or weeks).
Thus, Alternatives 2 and 3 are ranked higher than Alternatives 4 and 5 relative to control
of secondary sources.
10.1.4 Comply with Applicable Standards for Management of Waste
All of the alternatives will be in compliance with applicable standards of management
of waste during their implementation and performance. None of the alternatives,
including the treatment portions of the alternatives, generate waste other than IDW soil
and groundwater. During the RFI activities, no soil or groundwater IDW was identified
as hazardous; therefore, no hazardous waste is anticipated during the implementation of
any of the site -wide alternatives. An underground injection control (UIC) Program
Permit will be required for Alternatives 2 through 5 prior to the injection of any
substance into the subsurface.

S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
f, 10.1.5 Other Factors
10.1.5.1 Long-term reliability and effectiveness
The long-term reliability and effectiveness of all five alternatives is dependent upon
maintaining institutional controls and maintaining the O&M (primarily monitoring) at the
site over the relatively long periods required for MNA associated with these alternatives.
Because the site is a government installation with no change in ownership expected over
the period of the implementation of the alternatives, the five alternatives have high long-
term reliability and effectiveness.
10.1.5.2 Reduction in the toxicity, mobility, or volume of wastes
Alternatives 2 through 5 use active remediation to reduce contaminant mass and
plume toxicity in groundwater located in the highest concentration areas of the SWMU
69 plume. Alternative 1 uses passive technology to reduce the toxicity in groundwater.
Alternatives 2 and 3 use in -situ enhanced bioremediation to reduce the toxicity in the hot
spots. Alternatives 4 and 5-use chemical oxidation to reduce the toxicity in the hot spots.
Alternative 1 has the least reduction in toxicity because it uses passive treatment (i.e.,
natural attenuation) to reduce the toxicity in the groundwater. Site conditions at SWMU
69 are not conducive to natural biodegradation, therefore MNA will rely primarily on
abiotic and non-destructive processes. Alternatives 2 and 4 are the most effective at
reducing the :plume toxicity over the widest area because both of the alternatives apply
reactants designed to destroy contaminant mass over a large percentage of the plume
footprint. Alternatives 3 and 5 are equally effective at reducing plume toxicity, are less
effective than Alternatives 2 and 4 and more effective than Alternative 1.
10.1.5.3 Short-term effectiveness
The short-term effectiveness is high for all of the alternatives but varies with the level
of implementation required for the individual alternative. Alternative 1 is the most
effective in the short-term because it doesn't involve any installation activities other than
one monitoring well north of Butner Road and the installation of signage associated with
the ICs. There is essentially no environmental or community impact from Alternative 1.
Alternatives 4 and 5 are the least effective in the short-term because of the
construction associated with the injection of reactants and the potential hazards dealing
with a reactive substance (sodium permanganate). Alternative 4 is the less effective in
the short-term than Alternative 5 because of the greater volume of reactant and the large
area of the SWMU 69 plume footprint (Figure 4.3) including some areas that may be
considered wetlands or sensitive species habitat and some areas that are currently
occupied by the electrical substation and associated high voltage electrical lines. Careful
planning, logistics, and coordination with the entities operating the electrical substation
will be required to minimize the potential for community and environmental impact. In
addition, careful planning and coordination with the substation operators, including the
potential requirement to temporarily shut down the substation, will be required to
minimize the potential for severe health and safety hazards associated with working in
the vicinity of the substation. Finally, new access routes would have to be cleared in
order to apply Alternatives 4. Clearing would include the cutting and removal of
numerous trees in Area number l (Figure 9.1) and some grading and backfill operations
in Area 2 (Figure 9.1). Clearing and backfilling operations will represent threats to
10-5
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
wetlands and potential sensitive species habitats in both areas, necessitating close
coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies.
Alternative 5 would involve the hazards of dealing with a reactive substance, but
reactants will be -injected in six small previously defined hot spots only. All six hot spots
are located outside of the electrical substation fence and are located in areas that are not
considered.to be wetlands or potential wetlands. All 6 hot spot areas can accessed using
pre-existing routes, eliminating the potential for impacts to sensitive species habitat
associated with clearing and backfill operations.
Alternatives 2 and 3 have greater short-term effectiveness than Alternatives 4 and 5 in
that injected chemicals are non -hazardous and non -toxic. However, Alternative 2 would
involve the access issues described for Alternative 4 (access around the electrical
substation, high voltage electrical lines and wetland areas). Alternative 3 therefore has
the greatest short-term effectiveness of any of the active alternatives. Carbon substrate
would only be injected in six small previously defined hot spots, avoiding the access
issues associated with the electrical substation and wetlands.
10.1.5.4 Implementability
All five alternatives are technically implementable; however, there is a significant
difference in the degree of implementability. For Alternative 1, MNA and ICs, a
monitoring well network already exists and will only need to be supplemented with one
additional groundwater monitoring well. Monitoring of site media (i.e., surface water,
and groundwater) was performed during the RFI for SWMU 69 without any
implementation issues arising. Overall, Alternative 1 has a high degree of
implementability. From an implementation standpoint, Alternative 1 will be the easiest
alternative to implement and will cause the least disruption to the site and surrounding _
areas. `
The large reactant injections associated with Alternatives 2 and 4 are implementable.
Enhanced bioremediation using carbon substrate and chemical oxidation using sodium
permanganate have been implemented successfully at contaminated sites across the
nation. However, Alternatives 2 and 4 will be difficult to implement in the large areas
required because of the site specific implementation issues associated with the electrical
substation and the wetland/sensitive habitats located in Areas 1, 2, and 4 (Figure 9.1).
Thus, from an implementation standpoint, alternatives 2 and 4 would be difficult to
implement and would cause the most disturbance to surrounding areas and activities.
The hot spot injections associated with Alternatives 3 and 5 are would be moderately
implementable because all of the five hot spot areas are accessible using existing access
routes. In addition, the five hot spot areas are located outside of the electrical substation
and any potential wetland/sensitive species habitat areas. Therefore, from an
implementation standpoint, Alternatives 3 and 5 would be moderately implementable and
would cause far less disturbance to surrounding areas than Alternatives 2 and 4, but more
disturbance than Alternative 1.
10.1.5.5 Costs
The approximate total nondiscounted costs for the alternatives are summarized in
Table 10.1. Alternative 1, MNA and ICs, is the least expensive alternative. The capital
and O&M costs for Alternative 1 are $ 0.11 M and $0.74 M, respectively, for a total cost
of $0.85 M.
10-6
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\final\Final SWMU69 CMS.doc
Alternative 3, hot spot treatment with organic substrate addition, MNA, and ICS, is the
second least expensive alternative (least expensive of the active alternatives). The capital
and O&M costs for Alternative 3 are $0.49 M and $0.41 M, respectively, for a total cost
of $0.90 M.
Alternative 4, large area treatment using chemical oxidation, MNA, and ICs, is the
most costly alternative. The capital and O&M costs for Alternative 4 are $2.85 M and
$0.41 M, respectively, for a total cost of $3.'.26 M.
10.2 SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS OF CORRECTIVE ACTION
ALTERNATIVES
The five alternatives are compared to each other for each of the evaluation criteria. By
making comparisons between the various alternatives, advantages and disadvantages can
be determined between the alternatives. This comparative process aids in the decision -
making process since it highlights obvious problems and/or advantages with respect to
the criteria. Estimated costs for each alternative are presented in Table 9.1. Table 10.1
provides a summary of results from the comparative analysis.
Based on the comparative analysis presented .in Section 10.1, all 5 alternatives are
equivalent with respect to protectiveness of human health and the environment.
However, the active remedial approaches (alternatives 2 through 5) will reduce COC
concentrations in site groundwater to below NC 2L standards more rapidly than
alternative one and are therefore superior to monitored natural attenuation and ICs alone.
In addition, alternatives 2 through 5 are superior to Alternative 1 in that they provide
enhanced control of the source of releases, a greater reduction in toxicity, mobility and
volume of waste, and satisfy a statutory preference for active treatment.
The active remedial alternatives (alternatives 2 through 5) are. considered to be
....:
roughly equivalent in remedial time frame reduction and plumeSay'toxicity reduction
(alternatives 2 and 4 may be slightly more effective than alternatives 3 and 5).
Alternatives 3 and 5 are superior to alternatives 2 and 4 because alternatives 3 and 5
involve reactant injection in 5 previously defined hot spots that are accessible by existing
routes and can be accessed without any impacts to the electrical substation and only very
limited potential impacts to wetland/sensitive species habitat areas. Whereas the
application of alternatives 2 and 4 will require the removal of numerous trees, the
construction of access routes in through wetland areas, and the temporary shutdown of
the electrical substation.
Alternative 3 is superior to alternative 5 in terms of the control of hot spot mass.
Organic substrate addition provides a long term source of reactant mass that will remain
in the subsurface to treat contaminant mass that diffuses out of the soil matrix. Whereas
ISCO provides reactant mass to the subsurface that lasts only a short period of time,
resulting in the potential for COC concentration rebound. In addition, alternative 3 is
superior to alternative 5 in terms of cost. Alternative 3 is approximately $160,000
cheaper than alternative 5. Thus, alternative 3 is the preferred alternative for
groundwater remediation at SWMU 69.
10.3 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF SELECTED ALTERNATIVE
This section discusses the proposed corrective measures for the groundwater at
SWMU 69. Alternative 3 has been selected for the proposed corrective action at this site.
,- Alternative -3 will include the implementation of LUCs to minimize the potential for
10-7
S:\ES\Remed\745446 Fort Bragg PBC\20010 SWMU-69\CMS\fina1\Fina1 SWMU69 CMS.doc
exposure to contaminated groundwater, organic substrate injection in 5 previously J�
identified. hot spots, and monitored natural attenuation for the remainder of the
groundwater plume.
10.3.1 Establishment of Institutional Controls
Administrative controls and groundwater -use restrictions for the SWMU 69
groundwater plume footprint will be incorporated into the BMP. Currently, SWMU 69 is
part of a federal installation and is expected to be retained by the federal government for
the indefinite future. Groundwater -use restrictions would be implemented to prevent the
use of the groundwater for potable water and irrigation. References to relevant corrective
action documents for this SWMU will also be included in the BMP.
A survey plat for the SWMU will be prepared for inclusion in the BMP. The survey
plat will indicate the location and dimensions of the SWMU 69 groundwater plume with
respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks. The plat will contain a permanently
displayed directive that states Fort Bragg's obligation to prohibit use of the groundwater
at SWMU 69 in accordance with this CMS. The previously surveyed groundwater
monitoring wells that establish the present extent of groundwater contamination
originating from SWMU 69 will be used to establish the perimeter of the SWMU 69
groundwater plume.
Institutional controls will include the restriction of groundwater use at SWMU 69.
Restrictions on groundwater use for consumption and irrigation would be implemented
for the life of this :remedial alternative, estimated to be 20 to 60 years. The groundwater -
use restrictions will be implemented during the period of ownership by DoD through the
BMP. The BMP will be an effective tool for prohibiting installation of drinking water or
irrigation wells at the site while property is under DoD ownership. Groundwater is not
currently used as a source of drinking water or irrigation at the site. Institutional controls
prohibiting the use of groundwater in the future would be effective at protecting human
health from the elevated levels of COCs in the groundwater.
The SWMU 69 LUCs will also prohibit intrusive activities within this boundary (e.g.,
excavation, digging, drilling) without an approved health and safety plan, use of proper
personal protective equipment, and other necessary precautions. If soil is excavated from
within the SWMU 69 plume area. it must be properly characterized, classified, and
disposed of in accordance with Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA), Offsite Disposal Rule (40 Code of Federal Regulations
[CFR] 300.400).
A LUC Boundary for Indoor Air Concerns surrounds the SWMU 69 groundwater
contaminant plume. LUCs for this area place limitations on construction of buildings
within this boundary due to vapor intrusion concerns. If structures must be sited within
this LUC boundary, building design must incorporate appropriate features to mitigate
potential for human exposure to chlorinated volatile organic compounds from
groundwater. Use of groundwater extracted from within the LUC boundary for potable
or agricultural use is prohibited. Specific examples of prohibited uses include drinking,
irrigation, fire control, and dust control.
Dewatering of excavations or trenches will not be allowed within the SWMU 69 LUC
boundary unless contaminated water is properly managed in accordance with applicable
state and federal regulations.

`,, 10.3.2 Complete Groundwater Network
One new monitoring well (69MW-22) will be installed to complete the groundwater
monitoring network to evaluate the performance of natural attenuation. The location of
the new monitoring well will be north of the intersection of Butner and Varsity Roads, as
presented on Figure 9.2. The initial groundwater monitoring network will consist of
approximately 14 wells. The monitoring well network will be evaluated annually for
optimization opportunities.
10.3.3 Enhanced Bioremediation in Hot Spot Areas
The purpose of applying enhanced anaerobic bioremediation technology to the
SWMU 69 hot spot areas is to reduce contaminant mass present in the subsurface and
thereby reduce the time required to reach NC 2L standards in groundwater within the
SWMU 69 plume extent. The mixed substrate for this application will consist of a
soluble substrate such as high fructose corn syrup to provide an immediate mass Wf
io�ble organic carbon to drive geochemistry into anaerobic conditions. and food -
grade vegetable oil to provide a slow release source of organic carbon to drive reductive
dechlorination over the long term. This mixture typically supports anaerobic
io egradation for 3 to 5 years. A pH amendment product such as sodium bicarbonate
should also be added to main am neutra PH conditions within each reaction area.
Microbial populations capable of dechlorinating chlorinated solvents have been shown to
re i ions greater than .2 to live, making pH buffering an

Half of the injection points will be completed as temporary small diametet.wells to allow
for future injections of amendments and additional organic substrate if necessary. During
the initial injection it is expected that approximately 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of organic
substrate mixture and pH amendment will be injected at each point, flooding the area
with organic carbon.
After the first six months of performance monitoring, the geochemical data and
progress of COC degradation in- the hot spots will be reviewed. If degradation is lagging
and conditions are sufficiently anaerobic, a supplemental volume of approximately 300 to
500 gallons of dilute bioaugmentation culture and a pH amendment may be injected into
each of the small diameter wells. The bioaugmentation culture will consist of a non-
pathogenic, naturally occurring population of microbial strains known to be capable of
complete dechlorination of PCE, TCE, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and its degradation
products (cis-1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride). The bioaugmentation culture will be
provided by SIREM Laboratories, which has developed a bioaugmentation product called
KB-1 that was specifically developed for the degradation of PCE and TCE. A second
injection of organic substrate may be applied to the SMWU 69 hot spot areas in the event
that the initial injection does not provide adequate organic carbon to the subsurface.
10.3.4 Monitored Natural Attenuation
MNA will be an integral part of the selected alternative in that the majority of the
SWMU 69 plume area will dissipate through natural attenuation mechanisms while
contaminant mass in the hot spots is destroyed through organic substrate addition. The
r

successful application of alternative three will require the monitoring of contaminant.
levels within the SWW 69 plume to ensure that contaminant concentrations in the
groundwater decline over time. Institutional controls, groundwater monitoring, and
surface water monitoring will be used to ensure the protection of human health and the
environment over the implementation time required to meet remedial goals.
Periodic groundwater sampling will be performed to track the progress of natural
attenuation and the active remedial activities. Performance groundwater sampling will be
performed on a semi-annual basis at 14 wells and two surface water sampling points
(coincident with current surface water location 69SW02-06 and a new location at the
confluence of the unnamed tributaries south of Butner Road). If groundwater monitoring
indicates that contaminant concentrations are declining over time, then the groundwater
sampling program may be optimized, including potential reductions in sampling
frequency, monitoring well network reductions, and/or analyte reductions. Confirmatory
sampling will be performed two years after the last MNA performance sampling.
10.3.5 Monitoring
10.3.5.1 Groundwater
Performance Groundwater Sampling. Groundwater will be sampled semi-annually
during the first year following carbon substrate injection to evaluate performance of
anaerobic reductive dechlorination. Thereafter, performance monitoring will be
conducted annually. Groundwater from wells in the vicinity of the carbon substrate
injection will be sampled and analyzed for VOCs, TOC, geochemical parameters and pH.
Results of the groundwater sampling will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of
anaerobic reductive dechlorination and develop plans for subsequent bioaugmentation
and carbon substrate injection as necessary. A preliminary monitoring program is
summarized in Table 10.2.
Performance groundwater monitoring for MNA will be performed on an annual basis
to evaluate the progress of the natural attenuation. The location and sampling frequency
of wells for performance sampling will be selected based on evaluation of the results of
the previous year's performance sampling. Over the first 10 years, it is anticipated that
some of the interior wells may be moved to a biennial sampling frequency. However,
wells near residential areas (e.g., 69MW-12, 69MW-18D, 69MW-21D, and 69MW-23
[new well]) may remain on an annual sampling frequency. Groundwater will be analyzed
for VOCs and natural attenuation parameters.
Confirmatory Sampling. Confirmatory groundwater sampling will be conducted for
two years after the completion. of the natural attenuation period to ensure that the
groundwater contamination concentrations do not rebound.
10.3.6 Investigation -Derived Waste
IDW will be generated from the installation of the new monitoring well. The IDW will
consist of soil cuttings and wastewater (i.e., development water and decontamination
water), and will be characterized for VOCs for determining disposal requirements.
Historical knowledge of the waste characteristics of SWMU 69 indicates that other
contaminants (e.g., metals, pesticides, etc.) are not a concern. It was assumed that the
soil and groundwater IDW will be characterized as non -hazardous based on similar
historical waste determinations. Wastewater will also be generated during groundwater
sampling events, and will be characterized and disposed of as appropriate.

10.3.7 Operation and Maintenance
The O&M requirements will be outlined in a corrective measures implementation plan
that will be prepared after this CMS document has been finalized. O&M activities
associated with alternative three will likely be limited to monitoring well maintenance
and site inspections.
10.3.8 Reporting
10.3.8.1 Corrective Action Completion Report
A Corrective Action Completion Report will be issued at the completion of the
substrate injection activities associated with alternative three.
10.3.8.2 Periodic Progress Reports
An annual report will be issued to present the results of the annual sampling events. If
the monitoring frequency is reduced, the frequency of progress reporting will be reduced
as well to coincide with monitoring events.
10.3.8.3 Periodic Remedy Reviews
This site is managed by the Army under the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense
Environmental Restoration program (DERP). Paragraph 23.2 of the DoD DERP
guidance (DoD, 2001) specifies that periodic remedy reviews be conducted at least every
5 years to ensure that the selected remedy continues to protect human health and the
environment. Thus, the remedial action at SWMU69 will be reviewed every five years.
The first review will be conducted within 5 years of the selected remedy installation.
10.3.9 Monitoring Well Abandonment
Upon concurrence from NCDENR that the corrective action is complete, the
monitoring wells will be abandoned in accordance with NC state well abandonment
requirements, base well abandonment requirements, or industry best practices, as
appropriate. Abandonment will consist of removing the surface completions and grouting
the monitoring well/point to ground surface.
10.4 COST ESTIMATE
The cost estimate for implementation of Alternative 3 at SWMU 69 is provided in
Table 10.1. The estimated 20-year cost is $906,860. This consists of capital costs of
$493,860 and O&M costs of $413,000.
10.5 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
Implementation of the corrective actions will begin once approval of this CMS has
been received from NCDENR and USAEC. The organic substrate injections will be
conducted as soon as all appropriate plans are developed. A detailed schedule will be
developed as part of the corrective measures implementation plan.
