2.2 Introduction

This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) defines Quality Assurance/Quality Control

(QA/QC) procedures to be performed in support of non-radiological environmental Site Closure

Investigations at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS) in Rowe, Massachusetts. This QAPP fulfills

the practical requirements of "Region I, EPA-NE Compendium QAPP Guidance, October, 1999 Final,

Attachment A – Region I, EPA New England Quality Assurance Project Plan Manual, Draft, September

1998", (USEPA, Region I, 1999). References to the various EPA-NE QAPP elements for YNPS Site

Closure is provided in Table 2-1.

The procedures described herein will be implemented to ensure that non-radiological

environmental samples are collected, transported, and analyzed such that the project Data Quality

Objectives (DQOs) of the investigation are met and compliant with U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) Region I and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP). The

defined procedures also meet general Presumptive Certainty criteria set forth in MA DEP's Quality

Assurance and Quality Control Guidelines for the Acquisition and Reporting of Analytical Data in

Support of Response Actions for the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), May 21, 2004 (MA DEP,

2004a). This QAPP includes procedures and defines criteria to assure precision, sensitivity, accuracy,

representativeness, comparability, and completeness (PSARRC) of the analytical data generated in

support of Site Closure.

This QAPP is intended to be a generic program document applicable to all site-specific Site

Closure Investigations at YNPS. This plan, in conjunction with YAEC's site Health and Safety Plan

(HASP) (Safe Work Practices, currently under revision), and investigation-specific Field Sampling Plans

(FSPs), forms the framework upon which all Site Closure Investigations will be conducted. The QAPP

includes investigation procedures, sampling methods, analytical methods, sample management,

documentation procedures, and quality assurance (QA) review procedures that are applicable to all site

specific investigations.

Investigation-specific FSPs will be completed as separate documents as field investigations are

planned and identified. Each FSP will provide details pertaining only to that investigation.



EPA-NE QAPP Worksheet #2, provided below, introduces and details the information contained

in this QAPP.

The organizational chart for the YNPS Site Closure Investigation is provided in Figure 4-1 EPA-

NE Worksheet #5a). The project team consists of representatives from YNPS located in Rowe, MA; CLF

Ventures (CLFV), located in Boston, MA; Environmental Resource Management (ERM), located in

Boston, MA; and Gradient Corporation (Gradient), located in Cambridge, MA. This program will

comply with USEPA Region I (EPA-NE) and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection

(MA DEP) Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) requirements, where appropriate and applicable.

Descriptions of key project personnel are provided in Section 4.3.

Subcontractors will be retained to complete specific field activities associated with completing

the Site Closure Investigations at the YNPS site. These subcontractors include drilling and excavation

companies, surveyors, analytical laboratories (including Northeast Laboratory Services [NEL],

Waterville, Maine; Severn Trent Laboratories, Denver, Colorado [STL-Denver]), Severn Trent

Laboratories, Shelton, Connecticut [STL-Connecticut], Severn Trent Laboratories, Knoxville, Tennessee

[STL-Knoxville], Severn Trent Laboratories, St. Louis, Missouri [STL-St. Louis], Severn Trent

Laboratories, Westfield, Massachusetts [STL-Westfield], and Spectrum Analytical Inc., Agawam,

Massachusetts [Spectrum]), General Engineering Laboratories LLC (GEL), utility clearance, and

ecological survey (Woodlot Alternatives). Analytical services will be provided by one or more

laboratories experienced in the analysis of environmental samples. Radioactive samples will be submitted

to a laboratory capable of receiving and analyzing radioactive environmental media. Drilling services

will be performed by a MA-licensed driller; and surveying services will be performed by a MA-licensed

surveyor. These personnel will also perform their activities in accordance with the Site's FSPs and

HASP.



Site Closure Investigations will be conducted concurrently with the ongoing decommissioning

and demolition activities at the YNPS. To this end, YNPS personnel from the following departments may

provide support in the execution of the Site Closure Investigations:

• Regulatory Affairs;

• Chemistry Oversight;

• Integrated Site Closure;

• Training; and

• Radiological Protection.

4.2 Communication Pathways

Communication pathways will be established and defined during the Site Closure Investigations

between YNPS, CLFV, ERM, Gradient, and the regulatory agencies. All formal communication between

YNPS and regulators will be made through YNPS personnel, unless specific authorization is given to do

otherwise. In general, project plans, document reviews, and field investigation activities will be

scheduled and implemented by the ERM/Gradient Project Team. The ERM and Gradient Project

Managers will provide technical review of all deliverables prior to submittal to YNPS. YNPS will be the

liaison with the regulatory agencies and will coordinate and be involved in all discussions with the

regulatory agencies. Unless otherwise authorized to do so, ERM/Gradient will not initiate any

conversations with the regulatory agencies without first notifying and gaining approval of YNPS.

4.2.1 Modifications to Approved QAPP

Modifications to this QAPP may occur due to the complexity and expected duration of the Site

Closure Investigations. Modifications or addenda to the approved QAPP will be made whenever a project

activity requires real-time modification to achieve project goals. Activities that will require a QAPP

modification or addendum submittal include:

• changes to sample collection procedures;

• addition or change in laboratory used for analysis; and

• revisions to or addition of sample analysis procedures.



A change in procedure will only be implemented after review by the entire project team. Verbal

approval may be necessary to expedite project execution. Verbal approvals will be documented and

submitted for formal approval as soon as possible.

Significant program changes may require a comprehensive QAPP revision. However, the QAPP

may be also revised using an addendum process designed to minimize production and distribution issues.

For example, if a new laboratory or a new analytical method is added to the program, an addendum may

be appended to the QAPP that would include all necessary information, including (but not limited to):

• Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual

• laboratory contact information

• all relevant general, preparation, and analytical Standard Operating Procedures

• Method Detection Limit studies, if appropriate or available

• the laboratory's current Detection and Quantitation Limits

• copies of completed, relevant QAPP tables (these would include Tables 6-1 through 6-4; 13, 7-2)

• copies of applicable certifications

In such instances, the QAPP addendum will be distributed to all recipients, and a revised Table of

Contents and Report Cover Sheet will be included indicating that an addendum has been issued.

4.3 Special Training Requirements/Certifications

Training of field personnel will be provided by the Field Manager (YNPS Environmental Control

Manager or designee). Routine training will be completed at the beginning of each field event. The Field

Manager will review all applicable procedures with each field personnel to verify that the project

requirements and procedures are understood.

Site access and radiological worker training will be conducted in accordance with YNPS

requirements. Any other additional special training requirements will be identified in the individual FSPs

and in accordance with the YNPS Site Closure Investigation HASP. The FSPs will also define the steps



required to document that the training task is completed prior to completion of the field task. Typically,

training will be documented in the FSPs.

5 Project Planning/Problem Definition

The overall objective of the YNPS Site Closure Investigations is to investigate and characterize

releases of radiological and non-radiological constituents sufficiently to define the scope of potential

remediation requirements at the YNPS Site in a manner that complies with applicable and relevant

regulatory requirements and supports the environmental due diligence necessary for the ultimate property

transfer.

This QAPP provides guidance and specifications to ensure that project planning is performed in a

consistent manner from task to task. The QAPP has been developed to ensure the following:

• samples are obtained under controlled conditions using appropriate and documented procedures;

• samples are uniquely identified and controlled through sample tracking systems and chain-of-custody (COC) protocols;

• laboratory analytical results are of known quality, consistent with Data Quality Objectives (DQOs), and compatible with USEPA and MA DEP analytical procedures through the use of appropriate analytical methods, preventive maintenance, calibration and analytical protocols, quality control (QC) measurements, review, and correction action of systematic problems;

• calculations and evaluations are accurate, appropriate, and consistent throughout the project;

• generated data are validated and the data usability is documented; and

• records are retained as documentary evidence of the quality of samples, applied processes, equipment, and results.

5.1 Project Planning

Project planning meetings have been held during the development of documents, and planning of

task-specific investigations and tasks. Project scoping, problem definition, data quality objectives, and

data collection activities as part of the Site Closure Investigations have been discussed by key project

team members on various occasions in the preparation of this QAPP. Analytical laboratories chosen to

support the project with off-Site testing services have also been included in planning discussions/meetings

regarding laboratory analytical chemistry issues.



5.2 Problem Definition/Site History and Background

5.2.1 Problem Definition

The environmental closure and ultimate transfer of the YNPS property is being conducted as a

voluntary action in consultation with MA DEP, Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH),

USEPA Region I, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), as well as other regulatory and non-

regulatory stakeholders.

Since the initiation of plant decommissioning activities in 1992, Yankee Atomic Electric

Company (YAEC) has conducted numerous environmental sampling programs to support the

decommissioning efforts. These investigations have included sampling of building surfaces and

materials, soil, soil gas, groundwater, stormwater systems, surface water, sediments and fish. Samples

have been analyzed for both radiological and non-radiological parameters. These historical sampling

efforts provide an initial body of data and information that will be augmented during the continuing Site

Closure Investigations.

In addition to reviewing historical site investigations, a review of past materials/chemical use at

the plant provides the basis for identifying areas of investigation, and defining possible chemical

constituents for investigation. Table 5-1 provides a listing of materials/chemical usage at the site together

with the systems and locations where the materials were used. This list was compiled by YAEC

employees and plant operations managers. In addition, site reconnaissance visits were conducted by both

ERM and Gradient to review locations of Oil or Hazardous Materials (OHM) storage/usage.

As the list of materials in Table 5-1 indicates, categories of materials used at the YNPS can be

grouped into the following general categories:

• fuels and lubricating oils to operate boilers/engines;

• limited solvents for cleaning a used-oil recovery system (centrifuge);

• water treatment chemicals for the cooling water system;

• laboratory wastes; and

• radiological wastes.



The materials/chemicals used at the site provide the basis for selecting the constituents of potential

concern (COPC) for the Site Closure Investigation as identified in Section 6.1.2.

Based on review of historical Site operations and materials usage, the YNPS has been divided

into investigation study areas. These study areas represent a geographical area at the Site where OHM

may have been released to the environment (see Figure 5-2). A description of the study areas is provided

in Table 5-2. Each study area may contain one or more potential sources (e.g., specific release areas,

storage areas, or areas where chemicals may have been used). Radiological constituents potentially

present within the study areas are being investigated and remediated according to the License Termination

Plan (LTP) procedures defined by the NRC as part of the facility decommissioning.

The goal of the Site Closure Investigations is to define the nature and extent of potential or

known releases of OHM that may have impacted environmental media. The investigations will also

evaluate the risk to human health, safety, public welfare, and the environment. The results of the Site

Closure Investigations will be used to evaluate remediation needs, develop remedial alternatives, and

select appropriate remedies with the expectation of working toward closure of the facility.

5.2.2 Site Description and Site History

The YNPS is located in the town of Rowe, situated in northwestern Massachusetts along the

Deerfield River adjacent to Sherman Dam, one of several dams along the river used to generate

hydroelectric power (Figure 5-1). YAEC owns approximately 1,800 acres in area, of which the power

plant occupies approximately 12 acres with the balance being undeveloped woodlands. Portions of the

YNPS operations extend onto the adjacent property, which is operated by TransCanada. Figure 5-2

depicts the former industrial portion of the YAEC property occupied by the power plant.

The YNPS is situated on a river terrace which is recessed into, and largely surrounded by, the

Deerfield valley. In the plant vicinity, the river valley rises steeply to over 1,000 feet above the elevation

of the river. Sherman Reservoir, the impoundment behind Sherman Dam, is about 2 miles long, a quarter

mile wide, and up to 75 feet deep along its central axis.



Originally designed as a 145 megawatt (MWe) electric generating plant and later increased to 185

MWe, YNPS was built between 1958 and 1960 as a prototype plant intended to operate for six years. The

plant ultimately operated for over 30 years. The plant achieved initial criticality in 1960 and began

commercial operations in 1961. On February 26, 1992, the YAEC Board of Directors decided to cease

power operations permanently at YNPS and decommission the facility based upon economic analyses

indicating that shutdown of the plant was in the best economic interest of electric customers.

Plant decommissioning and demolition is currently underway. All radiological systems have

been removed from the plant. The spent nuclear fuel is being stored in the Independent Spent Fuel

Storage Installation (ISFSI), an on-site dry cask storage facility, until the Department of Energy satisfies

its obligations to remove the spent fuel to a Federal facility. The ISFSI is fenced and protected by

surveillance 24-hours a day.

5.3 Site Geology

5.3.1 Overburden

The surficial geology of unconsolidated deposits beneath the site consists of two basic units:

• Silty sand and gravel outwash with some silt layers; and

• Glacial lodgment till, consisting of dense silt, sand, gravel, boulders and some stiff clay layers.

The sand and gravel portion of the outwash deposits were reworked and used as fill during

construction of the plant. The silt was removed from those areas where buildings were constructed. The

outwash/fill is generally less than 10 feet thick across the site. The glacial till extends to a depth of up to

250 feet in the southwest corner of the site and is comprised of interbedded sands, silts, clays and in some

locations nested boulders overlying bedrock. Variations within the stratigraphy of this unit could

significantly influence the migration pathways in groundwater beneath the site.



5.3.2 Bedrock

Bedrock underlying the till is part of the lower Cambrian Hoosac formation. It consists of quartz-

albite-biotite gneiss. Underlying these are a garnet schist and a layered gneiss with some dolomitic

marble. These latter units belong to the lower Cambrian or older Cavendish Formation. Bedrock

structure consists of a south-plunging anticline, the axis of which occurs just west of the site (Weston

Geophysical, 1979).

The bedrock at the site is generally competent, internally welded metamorphic rock, and not

subject to significant weathering or other deterioration and is not highly fractured. Bedrock outcrops

exhibit either no joints or minor discontinuous joint surfaces. Five minor faults were mapped near the

site. These faults are all single surfaces without associated fracturing, gouge or brecciation. Four of the

five were traceable along strike direction. Analysis of fracture pattern for 74 joints or joint sets and the

faults in the site vicinity showed no anomalously preferred orientation of fractures. These studies also

suggest the absence of any through-going zones of post-metamorphic faulting or shear.

5.3.3 Sediments

Sediments are present in Sherman Reservoir, which is adjacent to the site, in the Deerfield River

and within Wheeler Brook. Sediments generally consist of sands and silt.

6 Project Description and Schedule

6.1 Project Overview

The environmental Site Closure Investigation project will consist of the following components or

activities:

• Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP);

• Field Sampling Plans (FSPs) for environmental sampling and characterization;

• Stakeholder Communication/Involvement activities;

• Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA);

• Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA);

• Environmental Permitting;

• Final Remedy and Site Closure.

This QAPP provides QA/QC guidance for the sampling and analysis activities and defines

QA/QC procedures that will be implemented during the various Site Closure Investigations listed above.

This QAPP is not designed to provide specific details regarding the scope of each individual Site

investigation; details will be documented in investigation-specific FSPs.

6.1.1 Sampling Tasks

Project Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) are discussed in Section 7 and will be defined in the

individual FSPs written for the Site Closure Investigations. Project DQOs include an outline of the

environmental decisions that will be made based on a stated environmental problem. Once environmental

decisions and project DQOs are defined, then measurement performance criteria (MPC) are established to

ensure that the project DQOs are met.

The Study Area investigations at the Site may include the following:

• monitoring well installation/groundwater sampling;

• water level measurement and aquifer testing;



• surface and subsurface soil sampling;

• geophysical survey;

• surface water/sediment and sampling;

• investigation-derived waste management;

• off-site laboratory chemical analysis;

• location and elevation surveying; and

• public health evaluation and environmental assessment.

Samples representing a variety of environmental media will be collected during Site Closure

Investigations. Media to be sampled include surface and subsurface soils, groundwater, surface water and

sediment. Discussions regarding sampling procedures, sampling handling, and sample custody details are

discussed in Sections 9, 10, and 13 of this QAPP.

6.1.2 Constituents of Potential Concern and Other Target Analytes

Based on the operations and materials used at the plant, samples from environmental media will

be collected during the course of the Site Closure Investigations and tested for (but not necessarily limited

to) the following COPCs:

• volatile organic compounds (VOCs);

• semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs);

• Petroleum Hydrocarbons – Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH) and Volatile Petroleum Hydrocarbons (VPH)

• Priority Pollutant 13 metals, plus boron,, lithium, and/or total uranium;

• hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium (if total chromium detected);

• total cyanide and Physiologically Available Cyanide (PAC) (if total cyanide detected);

• chlorinated herbicides;

• Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs);

• dioxins and furans;

• Total Organic Carbon (TOC);

• Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD);

• hardness (water);

• chloride, sulfate, and nitrate;



• alkalinity;

• hydrazine;

• percent moisture; and

• soil/sediment grain size.

The list of non-radiological COPCs, associated target detection levels and quantitation limits, and

laboratory limits for each laboratory are presented in Tables 6-1 through 6-4 (EPA-NE QAPP Worksheet

#9b). Not all compounds/analytes listed may be analyzed, or analyzed in each matrix. In addition, the list

of COPCs may be revised depending upon the results of the investigations performed. In these instances,

the FSPs will define the specific parameters to be analyzed in each medium.

For Site Closure, target detection levels for OHM in soil and groundwater will be based on

Reportable Concentration criteria by media provided in the MA DEP MCP. For sediment and surface

water samples, target detection levels are based on ecological and human health risk assessment criteria.

Sample concentrations will be compared to the target detection levels and will be reviewed to confirm the

presence or absence of OHM, determine the distribution of OHM encountered in those media, and

provide quantitative results for human health and/or ecological risk assessment.

For radiological work performed during the Site Investigations, YAEC Procedure AP-8601

"Ground and Well Water Monitoring Program for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station Site" will be

followed, which defines monitoring frequencies, DQOs, and analytical requirements.

6.1.3 Field Quality Control Sample Summary

Field quality control (QC) samples (i.e., types and frequency) that will be collected during Site

Closure Investigations are summarized in Table 6-5 (EPA-NE Worksheet #9c). A more detailed

description of each of the types of field QC samples is provided in Section 13. Each FSP will define the

medium/matrix to be evaluated, sample locations and depths, parameters to be analyzed, number of

samples and associated field QC samples to be collected.



6.1.4 Analytical Tasks

Site Closure Investigations will involve many activities relative to the acquisition of chemical

data. MPC are defined in this QAPP for soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment sample collection,

and off-Site laboratory analysis and will be evaluated to confirm the presence or absence of OHM,

determine the nature and distribution of OHM encountered in those media, and provide quantitative

results for human health and/or ecological risk assessment. Details defining sampling technique and

frequency, and laboratory analyses will be detailed in each FSP.

Analytical chemistry MPC are statements developed to specify the quality and quantity of data

needed from a particular data activity to support specific project decisions. The MPC for the YNPS Site

Closure Investigations have been developed to ensure that the quality of the analytical chemistry data will

meet the DQOs.

Analytical data obtained during the Site Closure Investigations will fall into two data types:

• Field screening data – field measurements such as pH, temperature, specific conductance, redox potential, dissolved oxygen (DO), flame ionization detector (FID) and photoionization detector (PID) readings.

• Off-Site laboratory data – Off-Site analytical procedures will follow analytical methods and requirements described in the USEPA SW-846 (USEPA, 1998) or other USEPA procedures, as well as according to MA DEP analytical protocols. Results will be validated in accordance with USEPA Region I data validation guidelines (USEPA, Region I, 1996a). Off-Site laboratory data will be considered definitive data and may be used to:

Ñ enhance the Site conceptual model;

Ñ further characterize the nature and distribution of constituents in soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment; and

Ñ support quantitative human health and ecological risk assessments.

Definitive off-Site laboratory services that will be provided to support the Site Closure

Investigations project are summarized in Table 6-6 (EPA-NE Worksheet #9d).



6.1.5 Data Verification and Validation Tasks

Data verification and validation will be performed prior to use in environmental decision making

to ensure that data collected are consistent with the project DQOs and MPC. Data validation procedures

will be consistent with guidance presented in USEPA Region I Laboratory Data Validation Functional

Guidelines for Evaluating Organic Analyses (USEPA, Region I, 1996b; USEPA, Region I, 2004), Region

I Laboratory Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Inorganic Analyses (USEPA, Region

I, 1988), and the Region I Tiered Organic and Inorganic Data Validation Guidelines, (USEPA, Region I,

1993). Environmental data validation for this project includes provisions for modified Tier II data

reviews. A more detailed discussion of the project verification and validation efforts is provided in

Section 18 of this QAPP.

6.1.6 Quality Assurance Assessments

Quality assurance assessments such as field or laboratory audits may be performed during Site

Closure Investigations to verify that sample collection, laboratory analysis identification and

quantification, and data validation procedures are consistent with those prescribed in this QAPP. Such

assessments would be recommended if QC deficiencies are noted during field sample collection or

laboratory analysis. Section 16 of this QAPP contains details of the QA assessments that may be

performed.

6.1.7 Data Usability Assessments

Data usability assessments will be performed on historical sampling data and validated Site data

to determine whether data generated under the QAPP are the right type, quality, and quantity to support

the environmental decisions for the project. The data usability assessment will include a summary

discussion of the PSARCC parameters (precision, sensitivity, accuracy, representativeness, completeness,

and comparability). Details regarding data usability assessment are presented in Section 19 of this QAPP.

6.1.8 Records and Reports

Project reports and records will be categorized so that an organized filing system exists for easy

document retrieval. Electronic data management will consist of a Microsoft ® Access™ relational



database maintained by Gradient Corporation. Additional detail on information pertaining to project

records and reports are provided in Sections 14, 15 and 17 of this QAPP.

6.2 Project Schedule

Given the complexity and scope of the decommissioning process, YAEC has developed a detailed

schedule for decommissioning, permitting, and environmental closure activities. That schedule will be

continually maintained and updated throughout the program. Figure 6-1 provides a generalized overview

of the schedule for the Site Closure Investigations (EPA-NE Worksheet #10). This baseline schedule will

be utilized as the basis for reporting progress against major closure efforts (e.g., investigation phase, risk

assessments, remedial actions, site restoration, etc.).

1,4-Dioxane 123-91-1 NA µg/Kg 6774 25000 Notes: PAC = Physiologically Available Cyanide Blank space = no Target Detection Level; NA = Not applicable; RC = Reportable concentration All soils will be reported on a dry-weight (percent solids-corrected) basis. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MADEP MCP Reportable Concentration criteria for RCGW-1 soils (MADEP 310 SMR, Subpart P, Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material List (1/31/95)). 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by NEL and Alpha Analytical at this writing; MDLs are updated annually, thus these will change over time.

Individual FSPs will include updated information regarding reporting limits. 3 All soil results will be reported to PQL (except medium-level VOCs). Listed PQLs are based on 100% solids and standard sample mass. Actual PQLs may differ due to percent solids content, sample

mass, and dilution factors. 4 Medium-level VOCs will only be analyzed if compounds exceed calibration range in the low-level analysis. Medium-level VOCs will be reported to the MDL to meet RCs. 5 Target Detection Levels are met for all low-level VOC MDLs. However, due to dilution and preparation factors associated with methanol preservation, medium-level MDLs for some VOCs may

exceed the Target Detection Levels. If high VOC concentrations warrant medium-level analysis, both the low- and medium-level data sets will be evaluated as needed during data validation to ensure that Target Detection Level criteria are met for all VOCs.

Notes: Blank space = no Target Detection Level; NA = Not applicable; RC = Reportable concentration All soils will be reported on a dry-weight (percent solids-corrected) basis. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MADEP MCP Reportable Concentration criteria for RCGW-1 soils (MADEP 310 SMR, Subpart P, Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material List (1/31/95)). 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by Spectrum Analytical at this writing. Individual FSPs will include updated information regarding reporting limits. 3 All soil results will be reported to PQL (except medium-level VOCs, which will be reported to MDL). Listed PQLs are based on 100% solids and standard sample mass. Actual PQLs may differ due to

percent solids content, sample mass, and dilution factors. 4 Medium-level VOCs will only be analyzed if compounds exceed calibration range in the low-level analysis. 5 Target Detection Levels are met for all low-level VOC MDLs. However, due to dilution and preparation factors associated with methanol preservation, medium-level MDLs for some VOCs may

Individual FSPs will

include updated information regarding reporting limits. 3 All soil results will be reported to PQL (except medium-level VOCs). Listed PQLs are based on 100% solids and standard sample mass. Actual PQLs may differ due to percent solids content, sample

mass, and dilution factors. 4 Medium-level VOCs will only be analyzed if compounds exceed calibration range in the low-level analysis. Medium-level VOCs will be reported to the MDL to meet RCs. 5 Target Detection Levels are met for all low-level VOC MDLs. However, due to dilution and preparation factors associated with methanol preservation, medium-level MDLs for some VOCs may

Notes: Blank Space = no Target Detection Level; NA = Not applicable All sediment results will be reported on a dry-weight basis, corrected for percent solids. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MADEP MCP Freshwater Sediment Screening Benchmarks (MADEP, 2002) and USEPA Toxicological Benchmarks (1997) reported in

Macdonald, D. et al., 1999, A Compendium of Environmental Quality Benchmarks, Environment Canada, GBEI/EC-99-001, Vancouver, BC. 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by NEL and Alpha Analytical at this writing; MDLs are updated annually, thus these will

change over time. Only metals will be reported to MDL. 3 All parameters, with the exception of metals and medium-level VOCs will be reported to PQL (metals and medium-level VOCs will be reported to MDL). Listed PQLs based on

100% solids and standard mass. The actual PQLs may differ from the listed PQLs due to solids content, sample mass, and dilution factors. 4 Medium-level VOCs will only be analyzed in the event that compounds exceed the calibration range during low-level analysis. These will be reported to MDL. Some MDLs may

exceed Target Detection Level Criteria; if so, both low- and medium-level data sets will be evaluated to ensure that target detection limit criteria are met. 5 The MDL for acenaphthylene does not meet the risk-based Target Detection Level of 10 µg/L. Sediment PAHs have not been an issue at the Yankee Site, however, during

validation this compound will be evaluated on a sample by sample basis to determine if more sensitive analytical methodologies are warranted for PAHs.

Only metals will be reported to MDL. 3 All parameters, with the exception of metals and medium-level VOCs will be reported to PQL (metals and medium-level VOCs will be reported to MDL). Listed PQLs based on

100% solids and standard mass. The actual PQLs may differ from the listed PQLs due to solids content, sample mass, and dilution factors. 4 Medium-level VOCs will only be analyzed in the event that compounds exceed the calibration range during low-level analysis. These will be reported to MDL. Some MDLs may

exceed Target Detection Level Criteria; if so, both low- and medium-level data sets will be evaluated to ensure that target detection limit criteria are met. 5 The MDL for acenaphthylene does not meet the risk-based Target Detection Level of 10 µg/L. Sediment PAHs have not been an issue at the Yankee Site, however, during

validation this compound will be evaluated on a sample by sample basis to determine if more sensitive analytical methodologies are warranted for PAHs.

All soils and sediments will be reported on a dry-weight (percent solids-corrected) basis. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MADEP MCP Reportable Concentration criteria for RCGW-1 soils (MADEP 310 SMR, Subpart P, Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material List (1/31/95)). 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by GEL at this writing; MDLs are updated annually, thus these will change over time. Individual FSPs will include

updated information regarding reporting limits. 3 All results will be reported to PQL (except medium-level VOCs). Listed PQLs are based on 100% solids and standard sample mass. Actual PQLs may differ due to percent solids content, sample

mass, and dilution factors. If needed, STL-St. Louis may perform Total Uranium using ICP-MS (Method 6020A); at this writing the MDL is 0.001 mg/kg, while the PQL is 1 mg/kg.

Specific parameters will be outlines in FSPs. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MA DEP MCP Reportable Concentration criteria for RCGW-1 groundwater (MADEP 310 SMR, Subpart P, Massachusetts Oil and

Hazardous Material List (1/31/95)). 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by NEL and Alpha Analytical at this writing; MDLs are updated annually, thus these will

change over time. 3 Laboratory Practical Quantitation Limits (PQLs) represent the laboratory's typical reporting limits. In order to meet MADEP Reportable Concentration criteria, all VOCs and

SVOCs will be reported to the MDLs. 4 Several VOC MDLs reported by NEL and Alpha slightly exceed the Target Detection Level criteria. The MDLs are considered sufficiently sensitive to meet objectives, but if the

VOCs are considered to be of concern, the data will be evaluated during data validation to determine if more sensitive methodologies are warranted for those compounds.

Specific parameters will be outlines in FSPs. 1 Target Detection Levels derived from MA DEP MCP Reportable Concentration criteria for RCGW-1 groundwater (MADEP 310 SMR, Subpart P, Massachusetts Oil and

Hazardous Material List (1/31/95)). 2 Method Detection Limits (MDLs) presented in this table were current as reported by STL-Westfield at this writing; MDLs are updated annually, thus these will change over time. 3 Laboratory Practical Quantitation Limits (PQLs) represent the laboratory's typical reporting limits. In order to meet MADEP Reportable Concentration criteria, all VOCs and

SVOCs will be reported to the MDLs.

7 Project Data Quality Objectives and Measurement Performance

Criteria

This section presents the environmental decisions that will be made as part of Site Closure. The

use of strict QA/QC procedures to monitor both field and laboratory performance will ensure that a level

of data quality is obtained from the investigation that will meet project DQOs. In addition, validation of

the analytical data will allow evaluation of data quality and data usability in support of the project DQOs.

7.1 Project Data Quality Objectives

Data collected during the Site Closure Investigations must be suitable for the following intended

data uses:

• describing the physical environment of the Site;

• characterizing the potential sources of chemical contamination;

• characterizing type, distribution, and degree of chemical contamination;

• comparing concentrations of OHM in soil and groundwater to the Reportable Concentration criteria provided in the MA DEP MCP;

• comparing concentrations of OHM in sediment and surface water to risk-based screening criteria;

• determining background concentrations of chemical constituents;

• determining potential environmental pathways of constituents;

• evaluating the potential risks to human health and the environment;

• assessing the need for remedial actions;

• evaluating the need for additional investigation; and

• supporting final environmental due diligence for property transfer.

Details describing specific field sampling tasks and task objectives will be provided in the

individual FSPs. The ability to meet the project DQOs will be achieved through the use of prescribed

sampling procedures (see Section 9), screening and analytical data quality levels, and MPC. For the Site

Closure Investigations, the possible data types and quality of data needed to meet the requirements of the

intended data use(s) are summarized in Table 7-1. MPC are presented in Section 7.2.



Screening data (field screening) will be used to provide analyte identification and quantification,

although quantification may be relatively imprecise. For the Site Closure Investigations, screening data

includes health and safety monitoring measurements, explosive gas survey data, screening for total

volatile organics using a PID and FID, and various water quality parameter measurements taken during

sampling.

Definitive data (laboratory analyses using USEPA-approved reference methods) will be analyte

specific with confirmation of analyte identity and concentration. For the Site Closure Investigations,

definitive data include, but are not limited to, standard chemical analyses for VOCs, SVOCs, PCBs,

herbicides, metals, and conventional wet chemistry parameters (i.e., hardness, total and amenable

cyanide).

7.2 Measurement Performance Criteria

Field activities performed in support of Site Closure will involve many tasks relative to the

acquisition of chemical data. Investigations will be conducted in a phased approach to allow the decision-

making process to modify future data gathering tasks. The MPC for soil, soil vapor, groundwater, surface

water, sediment sample collection, and off-Site laboratory analysis will be evaluated to confirm the

presence or absence of OHM, determine the nature and distribution of OHM encountered in those media,

and provide quantitative results for human health and/or ecological risk assessment. Details defining

sampling technique and frequency, laboratory analyses, and task-specific project DQOs will be detailed in

the individual FSPs.

Analytical chemistry MPC are statements developed to specify the quality and quantity of data

needed from a particular data activity to support project DQOs. The analytical chemistry MPC for the

Site Closure Investigations have been developed to provide general sampling and analytical capabilities

for data targeted for specific uses in contamination assessment, risk assessment, and corrective measures.

The MPC defined in this QAPP will help to ensure that the quality of the analytical chemistry data meet

these program objectives.

Based on the environmental decisions and project DQOs defined in Section 7.1 and included in

the FSPs, MPC will be evaluated to verify project DQOs were met. MPC for the Site Closure



Investigations are presented in Table 7-2 (based on EPA-NE QAPP Worksheet 11b). To assess whether

or not MPC are met, Data Quality Indicators (DQI) will be evaluated to assess the overall quality of the

laboratory and field sampling activities.

7.2.1 Data Quality Indicators

Data Quality Indicator (DQI) measurements and MPC for precision, sensitivity, accuracy,

representativeness, comparability, and completeness (PSARCC) have been defined and developed for

organic and inorganic analyses of groundwater, surface water, sediment, and soil based, in part, on the

project DQOs, data end use objectives, analytical methods, historical data, and published guidelines. The

approach to providing reliable data that meet the project DQOs will include QA/QC requirements for

each of the chemical data types generated during the field investigation. The details of field sampling

QA/QC are included in Section 13. The QA/QC efforts for off-Site laboratory analyses will include

collection and submittal of QC samples and the assessment and validation of data from the subcontract

laboratories as described in Section 18.

7.2.1.1 Precision

Precision is defined as a measure of the reproducibility of individual measurements of the same

property under a given set of conditions. It is a qualitative measure of the variability of a group of data

compared to their average value. Precision is generally monitored through the use of duplicate analyses,

with results expressed in terms of relative percent difference (RPD), or relative standard deviation (RSD).

Measurement of precision is dependent upon sampling technique and analytical method implementation.

Both sampling and analysis will follow strict protocols as outlined in the FSP and this QAPP,

respectively, to provide the consistency necessary to meet precision objectives listed in

QC samples, including field and laboratory duplicate samples and matrix spike and matrix spike

duplicates, will be analyzed and used to monitor precision for selected parameters. For organic

compounds, an additional measure of precision is the comparison of surrogate recoveries between the

unspiked, matrix spike, and matrix spike duplicate sample aliquots. For selected samples, duplicate

results will be evaluated during data validation with respect to the applicable criteria listed in Table 7-2.



Precision will be expressed as the Relative Percent Difference (RPD), calculated as follows:

( ) 1002/21

21×

+

−=

XXXX

RPD

where: RPD = relative percent difference between duplicate results X1 and X2 = results of duplicate analyses |X1 - X2| = absolute difference between duplicates X1 and X2

7.2.1.2 Accuracy

Accuracy is a measure of the bias in a measurement system which may result from sampling or

analytical error. Sources of error that may contribute to poor accuracy are, in part, laboratory error,

sampling inconsistency, field contamination, laboratory contamination, improper handling, matrix

interference, and improper preservation. Field, trip, and laboratory method blanks, matrix spikes, matrix

spike duplicates, surrogate spikes (organic analyses only), laboratory fortified blanks (LFBs), and

laboratory control samples (LCS), will be analyzed as indicators of accuracy, where applicable.

Accuracy will be measured by evaluating blank concentrations, calibration results, and percent

recoveries for matrix spikes, Laboratory Control Samples (LCS, or blank spikes), and surrogate standards.

Blank, calibration, and performance evaluation (PE) sample results will be evaluated using USEPA

Region I validation guidelines for the specified method. Percent recoveries of the surrogate, blank spikes,

and matrix spikes will be calculated as follows:

100% ×

−

=T

BXrecovery

where: X = measured amount in sample after spiking B = background amount in sample T = amount of spike added



7.2.1.3 Representativeness

Representativeness is the degree to which a single measurement is indicative of the characteristics

of a larger sample or area. More specifically, it is the degree to which the data gathered for the project

accurately and precisely represent the actual field conditions. The methods (e.g., sampling, handling, and

preserving) specified in the FSP will help to ensure representativeness.

Comparison of the analytical results from field duplicates will provide a direct measure of

individual sample representativeness. Field duplicates are defined as two or more subsamples taken from

the same location and depth interval during a single sampling event. When collected, these subsamples

will be aliquoted into separate sample containers, and sent to the laboratories blind for analysis as discrete

samples. Specific criteria for field duplicate representativeness are given in Table 7-2.

7.2.1.4 Comparability

Comparability is a qualitative parameter that expresses the confidence with which data sets can be

compared. Comparable data allow for the ability to combine analytical results acquired from various

sources using different methods for samples taken over the period of the site investigation. Comparability

relies upon precision and accuracy within the individual data sets to be acceptable to ensure confidence in

the data sets. The consistent use of standard analytical and sampling methods are essential in ensuring

that separate data sets are comparable. In addition, comparability is affected by QA/QC criteria, such as

sample preservation, holding times, blank contamination, method detection limits/contract required

quantitation limits, and calibrations.

7.2.1.5 Completeness

Completeness is defined as the percentage of data that is judged to be valid to achieve the

objectives of the investigation compared to the total amount of data. Deficiencies in the data may be due

to sampling techniques, poor accuracy or precision, or laboratory error. While these deficiencies may

affect certain aspects of the data, usable data may still be extracted from applicable samples. The

completeness objective for this project is 90 percent. Note that completeness will be evaluated only for

those samples that are successfully collected. For example, dry wells and dry surface water locations will

not be considered in the final completeness calculation.



7.2.1.6 Sensitivity

Sensitivity may be expressed in project detection and quantitation limits and is defined by the

ability of the method and instrument to detect target analytes to meet the target detection levels of interest.

Method and instrument sensitivity will be evaluated through instrument detection limit (IDL) studies,

method detection limit (MDL) studies, sample quantitation limits, and instrument calibration.

Quantitation Limits (QLs) for all parameters are listed in Tables 6-1 through 6-4. The QLs have

been chosen to be equal to or less than the target detection levels. QLs presented in Tables 6-1 through 6-

4 represent the minimum concentration that can be routinely identified and quantitated above the

laboratory MDL or IDL. For this project, groundwater and soil SVOCs and VOCs will be reported to the

MDL in order to achieve some of the lower MA DEP MCP Reportable Concentrations. Sample QLs will

be adjusted for secondary dilutions, percent moisture (for solids), sample size and final concentrated

volume.

8 Sampling Process Design

Individual FSPs will be completed as separate documents as each field investigation is identified

and defined. FSPs (Field Sampling Plans) typically include the following elements:

• Media to be sampled

• Sample locations

• Sample location map

• Sample Depths

• Sample ID designation protocol (including guidance for naming samples collected at different depths at the same location)

• Sample collection records required

• Parameters to be analyzed

• Sample containers to be used

• Field preservation of samples

• Analytical laboratory(ies) to which samples will be sent

• Sampling equipment to be used (e.g., hand shovels, drill rigs, geoprobes, etc.)

• Methods for decontamination of tools and equipment

• Quality Control (QC) to be used, including Data Quality Objectives (DQOs)

• Applicable sections of the QAPP

• Training required/completed

• Sampling crew pre-job briefs

• Safety practices to be employed

• Field Observation notes

• Chain of Custody protocols

• Applicable YNPS and/or vendor procedures



Sampling process design details for each chemical investigation conducted at the YNPS (and

information requested in EPA-NE QAPP Worksheets #12a and #12b) will be documented in the FSPs.

Site Closure Investigations will consist of sampling activities including the following:

• Characterization of potential OHM (Oil or Hazardous Material) in Sherman Reservoir and other water courses sediments;

• Characterization of surface and subsurface soils in the plant area;

• Characterization of potential OHM in groundwater;

• Characterization to identify background concentrations in the site vicinity; and

• Potential follow-on sampling pending the outcome of these anticipated sampling activities.

The Project DQOs are listed in Section 7.1 The DQIs and MPC presented in Section 7 will be

used to verify that the project DQOs are met. Each FSP will also include a detailed description of the

sampling design selected for the task. Details pertaining to the sampling approach (systematic or random)

and technical rationale, media/matrix to be sampled, field and/or laboratory testing to be performed, and

sampling location maps will be included in each FSP.



9 Sampling Procedures and Requirements

This section describes procedures and requirements for conducting Site Closure Investigations at

the YNPS Site. Details regarding the sampling procedures will be provided in a series of FSPs. The

FSPs will specify the methods and analytical program for sampling soil, groundwater, surface water, and

sediment. All work will be performed according to YNPS or vendor-approved procedures.

Prior to conducting field investigation activities, field personnel must document that they have

read the appropriate sections of the QAPP which are relative to the tasks to be completed (see Section 6).

The FSP will identify sections of the QAPP (typically, Sections 6-10 and 13) that must be reviewed prior

to conducting a specific field activity and will include at a minimum, applicable investigation techniques

and procedures, decontamination procedures, field COC procedures and investigation derived waste

(IDW) handling.

9.1 Field Investigation Documentation Process

Documentation of field activities will be completed using a combination of logbooks, field data

records (FDRs), sample tracking systems, and sample custody records. Site and field logbooks are

completed to provide a general record of activities and events that occur during each field task. FDRs

have been designed for each exploration and sample collection task to provide a complete record of data

obtained during the activity.

The FSPs will specify the required field sample collection records necessary for each sampling

campaign/task. Deviations from the procedures specified in the QAPP and individual FSPs must be

clearly documented in the field logbooks and applicable field data records. Documentation shall include

at a minimum: specific changes or modifications to procedures; reasons for the deviations; authorization

for changes; and interpreted impacts to the data quality. If the deviation from the procedure is expected to

be permanent then an amendment to the QAPP and/or FSP should be completed.



9.1.1 Site Logbooks/Procedural Forms

Site field logbooks and/or procedural forms from YAEC SOPs (e.g., YNPS procedure DP 8123)

provide a hand written account of all field activities. Logbooks are hardcover books that are permanently

bound. Procedural forms are generated from currently issued site procedures for use during the

performance of an activity. All entries are made in permanent black or blue ink, and corrections are made

with a single line with the author initials and date. Each page of the logbook will be dated and signed by

the person completing the log. Partially completed pages will have a line drawn through the unused

portion at the end of each day. Each procedural form shall be completed based on the procedural

instructions.

The cover of each logbook will be entitled with the facility and project name "YNPS Site Closure

Project", the name of the subcontractor or agency completing the logbook, the logbook type (i.e., Site

Logbook or sequentially numbered Field Logbook), and the date the logbook was started. The Site

Logbook will contain a comprehensive listing of all field logbooks created for the project.

The Site logbook is a record of all Site activities, including field task activities, completed for

each day or operation. Entries are made in real time to document the activities of that day. The Field

Team Leader responsible for on-Site field operations will complete the Site logbook. At a minimum the

Site logbook will contain the following information:

• A list of all field logbooks created for the project;

• Names and titles of all project related personnel present at the Site during each day of operation;

• A summary of all activities and tasks completed for each day of operation;

• A listing of any changes made to the established program procedures;

• A record of all communications with project management;

• A summary of any problems encountered during the day including a description of corrective actions and impacts on the project;

• A description of the location where samples were obtained, including a rough field map

• The date and time of each entry;

• At a minimum weather conditions shall be recorded at the beginning of each day and when changes to weather occur;



• The names and organization of personnel performing the field activities;

• A description of any field tests completed in association with the daily task;

• A description of any samples collected including documentation of any quality control samples that were prepared (rinse blanks, duplicates, matrix spikes, split samples); and

• Documentation of equipment maintenance and decontamination activities.

9.1.2 Field Data Records

FDRs contain sample collection and/or exploration details for a specific task. A FDR is

completed each time a field sample is collected. The goal of the FDR is to document exploration and

sample collection methods, materials, dates and times, and sample locations and identifiers. Field

measurements and observations associated with a given exploration or sample collection task are recorded

on the FDR. FDRs are maintained throughout the field program in files that become a permanent record

of field program activities. The FSPs will specify the required FDRs for the each sampling. A listing of

possible FDRs is presented below:

• Test Pit Record;

• Soil Boring Log;

• Screened Auger Boring Log;

• Rock Coring Log;

• Monitoring Well Construction Diagram;

• Well Development Record;

• Field Instrument Calibration Record;

• Surface Soil Sample Data Record;

• Surface Water and Sediment Sample Field Data Record;

• Low Flow Groundwater Data Sheet;

• Groundwater Sample Data Sheet;

• Sample location sketch map; and

• Aquifer Testing Completion Checklist.

YAEC Environmental Field Oversight Personnel will be responsible for completing a Field

Sampling Report Form. This form will be attached to the chains-of-custody generated for each sampling

event. The form will be completed at the conclusion of a sampling program if the program duration is



less than one week; weekly forms will be submitted for programs lasting more than a week. The YAEC

Environmental Operations Manager is responsible for reviewing this form for completeness and accuracy.

The Field Sampling Report will be completed to include the following information:

• FSP under which sampling was conducted

• Sampling personnel

• Sample locations

§ Study Area Descriptor

§ x,y coordinates

§ Photographs

§ Maps

• QA/QC Samples including:

§ Field/Equipment Blank IDs

§ Field Duplicate IDs

§ MS/MSDs

• Field Screening Summary

§ Screening Type

§ Concentration

§ Observations

§ Samples for laboratory analysis

• Deviations from FSP

9.1.3 Sample Identification and Naming Conventions

To maintain consistency sample location identification throughout the course of the Site Closure

Investigations, samples will be labeled according to the protocols in this section. This shall be specified

within the Field Sampling Plan (FSP).

The sample naming conventions for the Site Closure investigation will adopt the sample

identification scheme described below on all Chain of Custody (COC) forms and in the Site database.

The sample naming conventions will include a component that identifies the sample location, or "Station

ID," which will be the label used to plot locations on site maps. The Sample identifier will contain a



prefix that indicates the sample type, from the list of sample types below. In addition, the Sample ID will

contain the sample depth interval as appropriate for soil/sediment samples, or the sample date for all well

samples.

A "Sample ID" must be unique for every sample collected. A sample ID can be viewed as the

combination of a sample location identifier (a "Station ID") combined with either a sample depth (soils)

or date (wells, field duplications, trip/equipment blanks). The Station ID represents a location that has an

X, Y coordinate associated with the sample location at the site (except for trip/equipment blanks). For

most samples, the Sample ID includes the Station ID plus the sample depth or sample date.

For soil and sediment samples, the 3-digit sample identifier must be unique (within each sample

type) for all samples collected throughout the duration of site closure investigation. For groundwater

samples, the sample date will be appended to the Sample ID listed on the Chain of Custody in order to

ensure a unique Sample ID for consecutive samples. For surface samples, or other types of "grab"

samples that may not have a depth interval easily associated with them, a "study area" abbreviation will

be included in the Sample ID to aid in maintaining unique Sample IDs. The sample naming conventions

are illustrated below.

Note that trip blanks, equipment blanks, and field duplicates need to be assigned unique identifiers on any

given sampling day (for all such samples collected on a given day). Thus, if multiple sampling areas or

teams will be collecting such samples on the same day, care must be taken to assign unique identifiers

(e.g., FD001, FD002, TB001, TB002, etc.). In addition, if any trip or equipment blanks are sent for

analyses with different sample container preservatives, they are considered unique samples and must be

assigned unique sample identifiers.

Additional Sample Collection Information Recorded on COC and Site Database

In addition to the foregoing sample identification naming protocol, the following additional

information will be recorded on all COC forms (and field log books) and maintained in the Site Database:

Sample Time HH:MM (24 hour) Sample Medium soil, groundwater, surface water, etc. Sample Collection Method (type) e.g., split spoon, grab, bailer, low flow sample, etc.

Yankee Procedure DP 8123, Sample Chain of Custody, requires that specific media codes be

listed in the media code column for all samples submitted on form DPF-8123 – Chain of Custody Record.

In some cases, these media codes (e.g., those for sediment, groundwater) differ from the sample ID

designations that will be used for this program. However, the sample ID designation scheme described

herein shall be used to name field samples, and media codes will continue to be recorded on the Chain-of-

Custody per Yankee procedure DP 8123. The Field Environmental Supervisor will be contacted if any

discrepancies or questions arise.

9.2 Preparation of Sample Containers

Sample containers will be provided by the analytical laboratory. The analytical laboratory will

obtain containers from a national supplier. All sample containers will be certified to meet USEPA

standards. If possible, certification documentation will be obtained for each lot of sample containers and

filed by the laboratory for each task-specific project. Sample containers that are pre-tared will have the

container weight recorded directly on the container label.



To ensure the integrity of the samples collected, specific steps must be taken to minimize the

potential for contamination from the containers in which the samples are stored. Sample containers must

be compatible with the analytes of interest. All sample containers, except those used for collection of

samples to be analyzed in the on-Site laboratory, will be supplied by and prepared by the subcontracted

analytical laboratory. A summary of specific containers, required sample volumes, preservation and

holding time requirements is provided by analysis in Table 9-1.

9.3 Decontamination

The following methods of decontamination will be implemented to prevent cross-contamination

between sampling points and exploration locations. Sampling methods will include the use of disposable

or dedicated sampling tools and materials whenever possible to minimize the total amount of

decontamination efforts. Sampling, drilling and excavation equipment (back hoes, bucket loaders,

geoprobes, well drillers, shovels, etc.) will be decontaminated upon arrival, prior to leaving the Site, and

between sampling activities at different explorations. All equipment will be decontaminated between

each exploration.

Non-disposable sample equipment items such as split-spoons, stainless steel sampling spatulas

and submersible pumps will be decontaminated prior to and following the collection of each sample. The

decontamination process will include a thorough scrubbing of the sampler with an Alconox detergent, a

rinsing with methanol, and a double rinsing with deionized water, when appropriate. Decontamination of

sampling equipment will be conducted at the sampling location or other designated area. Excessively

contaminated sampling tools will be scrubbed initially with an "Alconox" (or equivalent) detergent

mixture, then followed with the normal decontamination procedure.

Prior to intrusive drilling, down hole sampling, and excavation, visual inspection of equipment

(drill rigs, geoprobes, etc.) will be documented in the field log book. Equipment will be decontaminated

between exploration locations using high-pressure water as necessary. Drilling rigs, tools, and equipment

will be decontaminated by the subcontractor before mobilizing to the Site.

A temporary centrally-located decontamination pad may be constructed at a location approved by

YNPS personnel. Other temporary decontamination pads may be constructed closer to Study Area as

necessary. The pad will be bermed on three sides and lined with a Hypalon liner or equivalent. A berm



will be constructed at the front opening to prevent decontamination fluid from draining into and

infiltrating the ground surface around the pad. Water and sediment generated during decontamination

will be placed into 55-gallon drums or other appropriate container and handled as IDW material. All

IDW will be handled in accordance with YNPS's Hazardous Waste Management Program.

If monitoring equipment (e.g., PID) is likely to become contaminated, it will be protected from

contamination by covering as much of the instrument as possible with plastic without hindering the

operation of the unit. The PID, for example, can be placed in a clear plastic bag, which allows for reading

of the scale and operation of the controls. The sensor on the PID can be partially wrapped, keeping the

sensor tip and discharge port clear.

After the monitoring equipment is taken from the exploration area, the potentially contaminated

protective coverings will be removed and disposed in the appropriate containers. Any direct or obvious

contamination will be brushed or wiped with a disposable paper wipe. The units will be taken inside,

placed in a clean plastic tub, and wiped off with damp disposable wipes. The units will be checked,

standardized, covered, and recharged for the next day's operation.

Sample containers will be wiped clean after sampling before being moved to the sample handling

and shipping area. Sample handling and shipping areas will be cleaned and wiped down daily during

sample campaigns.

Sampling equipment that is used for chemical characterization will be decontaminated routinely.

The decontamination procedures will depend largely upon sample site location and applicable

radiological conditions.

For samples collected within a Study Area known or suspected to have radioactive contamination,

the decontamination procedures will be performed under direction of the Site's Radiation Protection

Manager and in accordance with YNPS's Radiation Protection Plan (YNPS, 2003).

For samples collected outside of Study Areas containing radioactivity, decontamination will be

performed as follows:

1. Wipe remaining surface debris, if any, with clean paper towel (or equivalent material).



2. Flush object with deionized water (one or two times).

3. Wash object with a non-phosphate detergent (Alconox or equivalent) plus deionized water wash.

4. Rinse object with methanol.

5. Flush with deionized water.

6. Rinse object with distilled/deionized water.

9.4 Field Investigation Techniques and Procedures

The following subsections describe the field investigation techniques and procedures that will be

performed for chemical characterization activities as part of the YNPS Site Closure Investigations.

9.5 Sampling Methodologies

All sampling procedures will be described in detail in the FSPs. Sampling methodologies will

incorporate decontamination procedures (Section 9.3) and sample container requirements (Table 9-1) so

that the potential for cross contamination during sampling is minimized and samples are collected with

sufficient volume and properly preserved to meet the project DQOs. All procedures performed will be

according to Yankee or Approved Vendor procedures.

In the event a sampling methodology requires modification to meet the project DQOs, it will be

documented by the Field Manager (typically, the YNPS Environmental Controls Manager or designee),

reported as a "deviation to the FSP", and reported in the field investigation report.

9.6 Field Equipment

Field equipment procedures and calibration will be performed in accordance with the

manufacturer's recommendations. Manufacturer usage guidelines will be kept with each instrument in the

field. Each piece of equipment will be calibrated prior to each day's use following procedures described

in the manufacturer's recommendation. Instruments requiring calibration include sampling meters for

turbidity, pH, conductivity, temperature, DO, and hand held monitoring equipment including PIDs and

FIDs for monitoring ambient air conditions. Instrument calibration requirements are presented in Table



9-2. Field instrument calibration data will be recorded in the field logbook and on the Field Instrument

Calibration Record. Calibration Records will include:

• person's name performing calibration;

• instrument name, model number;

• date and time calibrated;

• standard used and source;

• temperature;

• results of calibration; and

• corrective action taken, if applicable.

Calibration procedures, frequency, acceptance criteria, and conditions that require re-calibration,

as described by the manufacturer, will be followed. In addition, prior to use, and at the end of each day,

the instrument will be cleaned, checked for damage, and repaired if needed in accordance with

manufacturer's specifications. These activities will be documented in a field logbook.

10 Sample Tracking and Custody Requirements

Sample tracking and sample custody procedures will be followed to assure that each sample is

accounted for at all times. Procedures will comply with YAEC COC procedures. Information specific to

sample identification and documentation (field log books, FDRs) are discussed in Section 9.1.

10.1 Sample Tracking System

The objective of the sample tracking system is to ensure that:

• samples are uniquely identified per the protocol in Section 9.1.3 and the FSP;

• samples are collected for all scheduled analyses;

• the correct samples are analyzed for requested analyses and are traceable to their original records;

• descriptions of important sample characteristics and field observations are recorded;

• samples are protected from loss and identified if damaged;

• alteration of samples (e.g., filtration and preservation) is documented;

• a forensic record of sample integrity is established;

• sample security is maintained; and

• relevant field information is recorded including location, sample number, date and time, identification of field samples, and individuals collecting the samples.

Samples will be tracked for the Site Closure Investigations using a relational Access database.

Each sample will be tracked by a unique sample ID designated in the field, which will follow the sample

from collection through laboratory analysis to final data reporting. All sample collection information will

be maintained by the analytical laboratories and will be submitted on electronic disk deliverables (EDDs)

to Gradient along with the final data results. Upon receipt of the EDDs, all sample information will be

uploaded into Gradient's project database. Specific details regarding sample tracking and database

management may be found in Section 15 of this QAPP.



10.2 Sample Custody

An essential part of any sampling/analytical scheme is the ability to document the history of

samples. Documentation is begun as soon as the samples are in custody.

Sample custody procedures will be followed during sample handling activities both in the field

and in the laboratory. This program is designed to assure that each sample is accounted for at all times.

The appropriate sampling and laboratory personnel will complete COC Forms and laboratory receipt

sheets.

The objective of sample custody identification and control is to assure, to the extent practicable,

that:

• all samples scheduled for collection, as appropriate for the data required, and are uniquely identified per the protocol in Section 9.1.3 and the FSP;

• the correct samples are analyzed and are traceable to their records;

• important sample characteristics are preserved;

• samples are protected from loss or damage;

• any alteration of samples (e.g., filtration, preservation) is documented; and

• a record of sample integrity is established for legal purposes.

A sample is considered in custody when it meets any one of the following requirements:

• It is in your physical possession or in your view

• It was in your possession, and then you locked or sealed it to prevent tampering

• It is in a secure area

The primary objective of sample custody procedures is to obtain an accurate written record that

can trace the handling of all samples during the sample collection process, through analysis, until final

disposition. Logbooks will be used to record field collection activities: information pertaining to sample

locations, numbers/types of samples, field measurements, and sampling conditions (see Section 9.1). All

documentation entries will be written in indelible blue or black ink.



Chain-of-custody (COC) establishes the documentation and control necessary to identify and

trace a sample from collection to final analysis. Such documentation includes labeling to prevent sample

misidentification, container seals to prevent unauthorized tampering with the contents’ secure custody,

and the necessary records to support potential litigation or other potential challenges of the data. These

precautions are crucial for valid chain-of-custody. The COC Forms will be reviewed by the

Environmental Control Manager or designee to determine compliance with USEPA sample custody of

COC protocol as described in "NEIC Policies and Procedures" (EPA-330/9-78-001-R, Revised May

1986). This review will provide for quick resolution of any problems. Yankee SOP DP-8123, Sample

Security and Chain of Custody (YNPS, 2003), will also be implemented. Chain-of-custody protocol, as

described below, may be considered in three parts: field-specific custody procedures; laboratory custody

procedures; and final project files.

10.2.1 Field Custody Procedures

Sampling-team personnel will perform all sampling and will initiate custody of samples until

relinquishment to another party for shipment to the laboratory. Detailed, field-specific procedures are

given in the FSPs. Field sample custody will be maintained by the Field Manager (normally the

Environmental Control Manager or designee) or the personnel collecting the samples. Each sampler is

responsible for documenting each sample transfer, maintaining sample custody until samples are shipped

off-Site, and sample shipment. The sample custody protocol followed by the sampling team will include:

• documenting procedures and amounts of reagents or supplies (e.g., filters) which become an integral part of the sample from sample preparation and preservation;

• recording sampling locations, sample bottle identification, and specific sample acquisition measures on the appropriate forms; and

• using sample labels to document all information necessary for effective sample tracking.

If possible, sample labels should be prepared for each sample prior to collection. At a minimum,

each label will contain the following information:

• sample location and depth (if applicable);

• date and time collected;

• sampler identification and YAEC address, and;

• analyses requested and applicable preservative.



A manually prepared COC will be initiated at the time of sample collection. The COC Form

documents:

• sample handling procedure information, including sample location, sample number and number of containers corresponding to each sample number;

• the requested analysis and applicable test method;

• the dates and times of sample collection;

• the names of the sampler(s) and the person shipping the samples;

• the date and time that the samples were delivered for shipping;

• the names of those responsible for receiving the samples at the laboratory; and

• removals of various aliquots for analysis, as necessary.

COC forms will be prepared and tracked by sample delivery group (SDG). SDGs will be

identified by ERM or YNPS during sampling activities. A SDG shall consist of samples collected from

one or more parameters and contained on a single line of the COC, will contain up to twenty (20) field

samples, inclusive of associated field QC samples. Shipment of samples for SDGs should be within

seven (7) calendar day period unless a short holding time must be met e.g., hexavalent chromium, which

has a 24-hour holding time; PCBs in solid matrices which have a 14 day holding time). The participating

analytical laboratories will identify each SDG with a unique batch number.

Copies of COC forms will be forwarded to the Gradient Quality Assurance Officer (QAO) and

NEL as soon as they are generated following sampling.

10.2.2 Laboratory Custody Procedures

Samples will be received by the laboratory sample custodian. Samples will be unpacked and

should be inspected for the following:

• Temperature

• Broken or leaking bottles

• Presence of all samples listed on field COC form

• Bottle labels match field COC form

• Number of coolers received matches number shown on airbill



The sample custodian will fill out a Shipment Condition Inspection Report or equivalent

laboratory form. If problems or discrepancies are noted, they will be documented on the Inspection

Report and the Laboratory Manager will be contacted. Discrepancies in the number of samples received

or sample bottle labels will also be documented on the field COC form. The sample custodian will then

sign and date the field COC form.

After accepting custody of the samples, the sample custodian will log-in the samples. Each

sample will be assigned a unique sequential laboratory number which will be used for tracking the sample

through the laboratory and in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). After log-in,

samples will be placed in storage pending analysis. The field COC form, inspection report, and airbill

will then be forwarded to the Laboratory Project Manager.

The Laboratory Project Manager or designee will inspect the paperwork and, if all is in order, will

direct the laboratory sections to begin analysis. If problems are noted, the Laboratory Project Manager or

designee will resolve them with the Laboratory Manager. Laboratory personnel will comply with all

internal laboratory COC procedures. The signed field COC and internal laboratory COC Records will be

provided with the laboratory deliverables for the project. Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures

(SOPs) and Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) governing sample receipt, custody, archiving, and disposal are

provided in Appendix D.

10.2.3 Final Evidence File

The final evidence file for the project will consist of laboratory data packages (summary and raw

data, if requested, from the analysis of QC samples and investigative samples, chromatograms, mass

spectra, calibration data, worksheets, sample preparation logs, COC records), logs, field log-books,

pictures and subcontractor reports. All originals will reside in secure archives for 10 years with the

contractor or subcontractor who originally generated them. The final evidence file will reside at YNPS,

Rowe, MA.



10.3 Sample Handling Procedures

10.3.1 Sample Container Packing

Sample containers will be packed in metal or plastic coolers for shipment. Bottles will be packed

tightly so that no motion is possible. Styrofoam, vermiculite, and "bubble pack" are suitable as packing

materials for most instances. Ice will be placed in the cooler along with all paperwork in a separate

"Ziploc" bag. A temperature blank provided by the laboratory will also be placed in each cooler prior to

shipment to verify the cooler was maintained at 4°C (+/- 2ºC) during sample shipment. Sample bottles

will be individually wrapped. Custody seals will then be placed on the cooler prior to shipment to the

laboratory. Cooler custody seals will be used to determine whether the coolers may have been tampered

with.

Although not included as part of this QAPP, it should be noted that radiological samples may

require additional packaging, as specified by DOT and/or NRC regulations and/or guidance. These

requirements are specified in the applicable YNPS' Radiation Protection & Chemistry Procedures

(Operating Procedures – 4000, 8000 & 9000 series OP’s , Administrative Procedures –AP’s, and

Department Procedures – 4000, 8000 & 9000 series DP’s).

10.3.2 Sample Shipment

The standard procedure that will be followed for shipping environmental samples to the analytical

laboratory is provided below. In Study Areas where radioactivity is present, sample containers will be

screened for loose surface contamination and radioactivity content prior to shipment. If samples or

containers exhibit radioactivity, the YNPS Radiation Protection Procedure (RPP) (YNPS, 2003) will be

followed for sample shipment and/or container decontamination.

• Shipping of environmental samples will be done through Federal Express or equivalent overnight delivery service, or through the use of laboratory courier services.

• Prior to implementing a field campaign, the person responsible for sample collection must notify the analytical laboratory of the number, type and approximate collection and shipment dates for the samples. This notification should be made at least 3 days prior to the sampling campaign. If the number, type or date of shipment changes due to Site constraints or program changes, the task leader must notify the analytical laboratory of



the changes. This notification from the field also needs to occur if sample shipments are scheduled to arrive on Saturdays.

• If prompt arrival of the samples cannot be guaranteed, the samplers will be responsible for proper storage of the samples until adequate transportation arrangements can be made.



11 Field Analytical Method Requirements

At this time, no field analyses are planned for the non-radiological parameters listed in this

QAPP. In the event that field analytical methods are planned, the requirements will be incorporated into

the associated FSP or the QAPP will be modified.



12 Fixed Laboratory Analytical Methods Requirements

The YNPS Site Closure Investigations will involve the analysis of samples representing various

environmental media (e.g., groundwater, surface water, sediment, soils). Samples may be analyzed for

physical, chemical, and/or waste characterization parameters. Table 6-6 presents the anticipated

analytical services program and associated laboratory SOPs. The justification and rationale for selected

analyses will be presented in the individual FSPs.

Where appropriate/applicable, the analytical methods will subscribe to MA DEP's Quality

Assurance and Quality Control Guidelines for the Acquisition and Reporting of Analytical Data in

Support of Response Actions for the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (MA DEP, 2004a).

12.1 Fixed Laboratory Analytical Methods and SOPs

The majority of laboratory analytical data will be generated using USEPA analytical procedures.

Spectrum Analytical Laboratory, Severn Trent Laboratory, NEL and Alpha Analytical are certified by the

State of Massachusetts for drinking water and wastewater analyses; Massachusetts does not offer

certification for any other parameter or matrix, therefore, the other laboratories that may be participating

(for example, STL-Connecticut for soil/sediment TOC analyses; STL-Denver for hydrazine analyses;

STL-Knoxville for the dioxin/furan analyses) in the program will not require state certification. Analyses

will be completed for most parameters using the most current revisions of USEPA SW-846 methods

(USEPA, Region I, 1999) and, where applicable, MA DEP's Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Guidelines for the Acquisition and Reporting of Analytical Data in Support of Response Actions for the

Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), Waste-Site Cleanup-Compendium of Analytical Methods

The analytical methods and laboratory quantitation limits identified in the QAPP are considered

adequate to meet the DQOs for the investigations that will be completed during the Site Closure



Investigations. Additional evaluation of quantitation limits needs will be completed in the individual

FSPs and any modifications to analytical data and data reporting will be specified as necessary.

Spectrum Analytical Laboratory (Agawam, MA) will provide the majority of analytical services

to support the YNPS Site Closure Investigations. Spectrum has performed analyses in support of the

YNPS site since 2004, and is certified by the State of Massachusetts to analyze drinking water and

wastewater. Spectrum does not maintain radioactive materials licenses for analysis of environmental

samples for chemical characterization. Thus, laboratories that do maintain radioactive materials licenses,

such as NEL, will be used for analysis of radioactive samples. Spectrum will be subcontracting to other

participating laboratories for selected analyses (e.g., Pace Analytical, STL-Westfield). NEL will also be

subcontracting to other participating laboratories (STL Connecticut, STL-Denver, STL-St. Louis, and

STL-Knoxville) for selected analyses. As such, select samples will be sent to Spectrum or NEL (for

radioactive samples), then forwarded on to the appropriate laboratory.

Hydrazine analyses will be performed by STL-Denver, and dioxin/furan analyses will be

performed by Pace Analytical and STL-Knoxville. Most of these subcontracted laboratories also possess

radioactive materials licenses. STL-Connecticut will perform TOC analyses in soil/sediment. Total

Uranium analyses will be performed in sediments by GEL using ICP (STL-St. Louis may be requested to

perform Total Uranium using ICP-MS as back-up, when needed). Confirmatory analyses may be

performed for VOCs by Alpha Analytical. In addition, Alpha Analytical may be analyzing EPH/VPH in

soil, sediment, groundwater, and/or surface water.

Analyses will be performed in groundwater, surface water, sediment, and soil samples. Other

matrices may include concrete and paint/paint chips. All groundwater and surface water results will be

reported in µg/L for organic parameters and mercury, and in mg/L for all other inorganic parameters. All

sediment and soil sample results will be corrected for percent solids and will be reported on a dry weight

basis in µg/kg (organics) or mg/kg (inorganics, wet chemistry). Dioxin/furan results will be reported in

pg/g. All organic results quantitated below the reporting limit will be qualified (J) by the laboratories.

All nondetect results reported by the laboratories will be qualified (U) at the reporting limits.



12.1.1 Analytical Methods

This QAPP presents a general listing of the analytical parameters and methods that may be

selected to be performed during Site Closure. The specific analytical parameters that will be performed

will be identified in each FSP generated. This list includes procedures that are likely to be selected in

future programs, but not all parameters listed may be analyzed in the indicated matrices. The required

analyses will be defined in the FSPs. If additional methods are required beyond those listed in this

QAPP, those procedures will be defined in the FSP and will be added to this document during subsequent

revision.

Table 6-6 lists the analytical methods that will potentially be performed during Site Closure.

Analytical methods are presented for soil and aqueous matrices for VOCs, SVOCs, metals (including

mercury, boron, lithium, and/or total uranium), cyanide and Physiologically Available Cyanide (PAC),

herbicides, PCBs, TOC, hardness, EPH/VPH, anions, COD, dioxin/furan, hydrazine. In addition,

hazardous waste characteristic analyses (ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, and Toxicity Characterization

Leaching Procedure (TCLP)) may be performed. These parameters have not been addressed in this

QAPP but will be included in the FSPs as necessary.

12.1.2 Laboratory SOPs

SOPs for off-Site laboratory analyses are listed in Table 6-6 and are contained in Appendices

A, D, E, F, G, J, K, L, and M of this QAPP. The SOPs include the procedures that will be used to prepare

and analyze site samples. They also document routine QC criteria used by each participating laboratory.

In some procedures, QC criteria may differ from the MPC listed on Table 7-2. The MPC established in

Section 7 will be used as the project goals when differences exist between MPC and the laboratory SOPs.

12.1.2.1 VOCs in Soil and Sediment

Soil and sediment VOC samples will be collected according to SW-846 Method 5035 procedures.

Soil samples will be preserved using both deionized water (three vials for low level analysis) and

methanol (one vial for high level analysis). An additional vial will be collected for percent moisture

testing procedures. All aqueous vials will be frozen upon receipt at the laboratory. All samples for VOC



analysis will be reported to the MDL in order to achieve MA DEP RCs. All results will be reported on a

dry weight basis.

Tentatively Identified Compound (TIC) analyses may be requested for a percentage of

soil/sediment samples; the FSPs and COCs will identify which samples will require TIC analysis. If

requested, TICs will be analyzed and reported as stipulated in the MA DEP CAM methods for VOCs

(WSC-CAM-II A, May, 2004) and SVOCs (WSC-CAM-II B, August, 2004).

12.1.2.2 Hexavalent Chromium in Soils and Sediments

Soil and sediment samples submitted for hexavalent chromium analysis will be prepared using a

water leaching procedure. All hexavalent chromium analyses must be performed within 24 hours of

leaching. Only samples exhibiting positive total chromium results will be analyzed for hexavalent

chromium.

12.1.2.3 Cyanide Analyses

Methods for both total cyanide and Physiologically Available Cyanide (PAC) have been included

on the Site Closure method list. MA DEP's method for quantitation of PAC will be performed. Only

those aqueous or solid samples exhibiting positive total cyanide concentrations will be analyzed for PAC.

12.1.2.4 Metals Analyses

Soil, sediment, groundwater and surface water samples will be analyzed for total metals or

priority pollutant metals. Boron and lithium may be analyzed in select groundwater samples. Based on

the results of the total metals analysis, the need for dissolved (filtered) metals analysis in surface water

will be evaluated. The dissolved metals samples would be filtered either in the field or in the laboratory

prior to digestion. Field blanks must be submitted for each sample type, thus, in the event that dissolved

metals analyses will be performed in surface water, filter blank for dissolved metals and a conventional

field blank for total metals would need to be prepared.

The database manager will append all dissolved (filtered) sample IDs with the letter "F" to

distinguish these samples from their "total" counterparts.



12.1.2.5 EPH/VPH

EPH/VPH analyses in selected soil, sediment, groundwater, and/or surface water will be

performed according to MA DEP's "Method for the Determination of Extractable Petroleum

Hydrocarbons (EPH)," May, 2004, "Method for the Determination of Volatile Petroleum Hydrocarbons

(VPH)," May, 2004, and MA DEP QA/QC documents WSC-CAM-IV A (EPH) and WSC-CAM-IV B

(VPH).

12.1.2.6 Hydrazine Analyses

Hydrazine analyses may be performed in selected soils and sediments. STL-Denver will perform

these analyses using an Ion Chromatography (IC) method (see Appendix D). Hydrazine analyses will

also include the breakdown products monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and unsymmetrical

dimethylhydrazine (UDMH).

During hydrazine analysis, a small volume of extracted, filtered, and acidified sample is

introduced into the Ion Chromatograph. The analytes are resolved on a strongly acidic cation exchange

column. Quantitation is accomplished by measuring the peak height or area and comparing it to a

calibration curve generated from known standards.

Hydrazine requires very unique preservation and accelerated holding time consideration.

Aqueous samples or soil/sediment extracts are filtered through a 0.2 µm filter and are then preserved to a

pH of 2 ± 0.5 with sulfuric acid. Filtration and preservation must be completed within 48 hours of sample

collection. Following filtration and preservation, the hydrazine samples are stable for 28 days.

12.1.2.7 Dioxin/Furan Analyses in Soils

Dioxin/furan analyses may be performed in selected soil samples to be identified in the FSPs.

STL-Knoxville (see Appendix E) and PACE (subcontracted through Spectrum; see Appendix K) will

perform these analyses.



12.1.2.8 VOC and SVOC Analyses in Groundwater and Surface Water

Groundwater and surface water VOC and SVOC analyses will be performed using SW846

methods 8260B and 8270C, respectively. The current MA DEP Waste Site Cleanup-Compendium of

Analytical Method (WSC-CAM) VOC and SVOC compound lists will be reported to avoid discrepancies

between the various laboratory Target Compound Lists.

Since the MA DEP VOC and SVOC compound lists contain redundant compounds (including

1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene,

hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroethane, naphthalene, and nitrobenzene), in cases where both VOCs and

SVOCs are requested, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-

dichlorobenzene will be reported from the VOC fraction, while hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroethane,

naphthalene, and nitrobenzene will be reported from the SVOC fraction. In cases where only VOCs or

SVOCs are requested, the full MA DEP list will be reported for that particular fraction, and all associated

QC blanks (e.g., field duplicates, trip blanks, equipment rinsate blanks) will also be analyzed for the

associated full compound list. All groundwater and surface water results will be quantitated to the MDLs

in order to achieve the MA DEP RCs and Target Detection Levels defined in QAPP Tables 6-1 through 6-

4. Results reported between the MDL and laboratory reporting limit will be qualified (J).

Groundwater polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and pentachlorophenol results will be

quantitated using 8270C Selective Ion Monitoring (SIM) in order to achieve some of the lower MA DEP

RCs for these compounds. The PAHs and pentachlorophenol results in groundwater will be reported by

the laboratories only by SIM in order to avoid compound list redundancy. Confirmatory VOC analyses

may be performed by Alpha Analytical; the sample IDs will be appended with a "-CON" on the COCs

and in the database to clearly distinguish them from the original analyses.

Tentatively Identified Compound (TIC) analysis may be requested for a percentage of

groundwater/surface water samples. The FSPs and COCs will identify which samples will require TIC

analysis.



12.1.2.9 PCBs in Soil and Sediment

PCBs in soil and sediment will incorporate a revised extraction method per a request by EPA

Region I. This method was determined by EPA to be optimal for quantitation of PCBs in soil and

sediment containing paint or paint chips. Soil and sediment samples will be oven-dried overnight at 60ºC

and will be prepared for analysis using methylene chloride/soxhlet extraction procedures. The soil and

sediment PCB results will be reported in dry weight, quantitated using the oven-dried percent solids,

which is expected to be 99-100%.

In those instances where soils and sediments require only PCB analysis, the laboratory will

perform and report only the oven-dried percent solids results. However, if PCBs and other analytical

parameters (i.e., metals, SVOCs, EPH/VPH) are requested for a given soil or sediment sample, the

laboratories must report both percent solids results in the laboratory reports and within the EDDs, since

both percent solids results will be required for data review/validation.

12.1.2.10 Total Uranium Analyses

Uranium analyses may be performed in sediments during site closure. The analyses will be

performed by GEL using ICP methodologies (see Appendix L). STL-St. Louis may perform

confirmation or additional Total Uranium analyses using ICP-MS, if needed (Appendix M).

12.2 Fixed Laboratory Method /SOP Modifications

Laboratory modifications to the analytical methods and/or SOPs may be modified to meet the

project DQOs are described below.

12.2.1 Sediment Moisture Content

Based on historical data, it is expected that sediment samples may have high percent moisture

content. With the exception of sediment samples for VOC and PCB analyses, the laboratory may be

required to take steps to reduce the effect of moisture content and achieve the reporting limits and target

detection levels specified in Table 6-2. Potential steps would include:



• centrifuging the sample and decanting off the layer of water above the solid matrix;

• increasing sample volume size; or

• other alternatives proposed by the laboratory.

The participating laboratories will contact the Gradient QAO if any samples exhibit percent solids results

< 30%. All soil and sediment samples will be reported on a dry weight basis.

12.2.2 PCBs in Soil

Per EPA and as described in Section 12.1.2.9, the PCB preparation method (SW-846 Method

3540C) for soils and sediments will be modified to incorporate an oven-drying step. The samples will be

dried overnight at 60ºC and will be extracted with methylene chloride.

12.3 Fixed Laboratory Instrument Calibration

Calibration of analytical instruments is required to verify the analytical system is operating

properly and functioning at the desired sensitivity to meet the specific DQOs for the task. In general,

reference standards used by the laboratory will bracket the expected concentration of the samples. To

meet this objective, calibration standards are generally prepared at three to five different concentrations to

demonstrate the instrument's linearity and range of quantitation. Calibration of an instrument must be

performed prior to sample analysis and at periodic time intervals during sample analysis to verify the

instrument is still calibrated in the linear range initially established.

Calibration procedures for fixed laboratory analyses may include the following:

• Organic Analyses

Ñ Multilevel initial calibrations of instruments to establish calibration curves

Ñ Continuing calibration (CC) standards at least once every twelve hours of instrumental analysis for accurate quantitation and recalibration if these do not meet CLP criteria

Ñ Calibration of Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry (GC/MS) instruments, according to the appropriate EPA method criteria



Ñ Tuning of GC/MS systems every twelve hours to meet EPA’s criteria using BFB (bromofluorobenzene) for volatile organics analysis, and DFTPP (decafluorotriphenylphosphine) for semivolatile organics analysis

• Inorganic Analyses

Ñ Multilevel calibration curves generated by analyses of individual standards for Atomic Absorption (AA), metals analyses, Cold Vapor (CV) mercury analyses or Automated Spectrophotometric (AS) cyanide analyses, or mixed standards for Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analyses

Ñ Initial Calibration Verification (ICV) and Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV) at a minimum of one in every ten samples to verify instrument calibration

Ñ Contract Required Detection Limit Standards (CRDL) analyses (CRA and CRI standards for AA and ICP, respectively) or equivalent mid-level standards at levels at or near the CRDL or practical quantitation limit (PQL) to assess instrument performance and sensitivity

Ñ ICP Interference Check Standards (ICS) after initial calibration and after samples are analyzed (within eight-hour period) to verify Interelement Corrections (IEC) and background corrections

Recalibration and reanalysis of applicable samples if check standard response deviates by more than the

method criteria.

Calibration procedures, frequencies, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions for these methods

are summarized in Table 12-1 (EPA-NE QAPP Worksheet #21). These topics are also discussed in the

laboratory SOPs and Quality Assurance Plan (Appendix C) and the analytical methods.

12.4 Fixed Laboratory Instrument/Equipment Maintenance, Testing, and

Inspection Records

Proper maintenance of laboratory instruments and equipment is essential to ensure that all

equipment is ready to meet the capacity and needs of the project. Depending on manufacturers’

recommendations, maintenance intervals should be established for each instrument. All instruments

should be labeled with a model number, serial number, date of last maintenance, and date of next

maintenance. Procedures and documentation activities that will be performed by the laboratories to

ensure that laboratory instrumentation and equipment are in good working order, documentation of

equipment maintenance, and availability of spare parts/instrumentation are provided in the Laboratory's

Quality Assurance Plans (Appendices C and I).



12.5 Fixed Laboratory Inspection and Acceptance Requirements for Supplies

Laboratory procedures that will be performed to ensure that supplies used during the course of

providing analytical services for the Site Closure Investigations are available and free of chemical

constituents and interferences are described in each laboratory's Quality Assurance Plan (Section 4.6,

Appendix C; Section 11.1, Appendix I).

13 Quality Control Requirements

Quality control requirements include both field and laboratory check samples and procedures

designed to ensure and document the overall quality of the data. Quality control check samples are

controlled samples, introduced into the analytical system at specific points. The results of the QC checks

are used during data validation to evaluate the precision, sensitivity, accuracy, and representativeness of

the overall sampling and analytical program.

Where appropriate/applicable, field QC will subscribe to MA DEP's Quality Assurance and

Quality Control Guidelines for the Acquisition and Reporting of Analytical Data in Support of Response

Actions for the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (MA DEP, 2004a). A summary of field QC

requirements is presented in Table 6-5 and laboratory QC requirements are provided in Table 13-1 (EPA-

NE QAPP Worksheets #24a, 24b). Table 7-2 provides the MPCs associated with the QC samples.

13.1 Field Quality Control

Field quality control will be monitored through field QC checks, which consist of controlled

samples that are introduced to the laboratory from the field.

13.1.1 Blanks

Field quality control blanks include temperature blanks, trip blanks, field blanks (source water

used for equipment decontamination), and equipment rinse blanks. Blanks measure the amount and type

of contamination introduced at any point throughout the entire sampling and analysis process, including

sample handling and transport. If significant contamination is identified in the blanks, corrective actions

will be taken during the field program by the Field Manager to identify the cause of the contamination

and prevent its reoccurrence. Corrective actions may include implementation of more aggressive

decontamination procedures or replacement of equipment.

All blanks must be prepared from the same source of distilled or deionized water as appropriate.

Holding times for blanks will be consistent with the holding times stipulated for the various analytical

methods. For this project, distilled or deionized water from the same source used for laboratory method



blanks will be bottled at the laboratory and sent to the field for use in field blank preparation. This

"designated blank-source water" must be stored, tightly sealed, in a contaminant-free area, and may be

used for up to one week after receipt from the laboratory.

Results of the blanks will be used to qualify data during the data review and validation tasks.

Data validation actions specified in the Region I data validation guidelines will be applied to the data sets.

13.1.1.1 Trip Blanks

Trip blank results are used as indicators of contamination originating from the proximity of

sample containers to one another during shipment and storage. Trip blanks will only be prepared and

analyzed for VOCs and VPH. A trip blank is provided by the analytical laboratory and consists of a

sample container filled with the designated blank-source water and is preserved with hydrochloric acid

(HCl). A trip blank will accompany each set of up to 20 sample containers to be analyzed for VOC and

VPH from the laboratory, to the field, and back to the laboratory without being opened until it is to be

analyzed. There must be at least one trip blank in every cooler used to ship samples to the laboratory for

VOC and VPH analysis. Trip blanks for aqueous samples will consist of laboratory water. Trip blanks

for VOCs and VPH in solids (soil/sediment) will consist of a pre-weighed, preserved methanol vial for

VPH and one pre-weighed, preserved methanol vial and 3 pre-weighed aqueous vials for VOCs.

13.1.1.2 Temperature Blanks

Temperature blanks will consist of a water filled container provided by the laboratory that will be

shipped to the off-Site laboratory with each cooler of samples submitted for laboratory analyses. During

sample receipt, the sample custodian will measure the temperature in the blank to determine the status of

sample preservation during shipment to the laboratory. The preservation goal for the samples is to

maintain temperatures at 4°C ± 2°C. If the cooler temperature is outside this range (i.e., above 6 °C), the

laboratory will contact the client for guidance as to whether to proceed with the analyses.

13.1.1.3 Equipment Rinse Blanks

The potential for cross contamination, within or on sampling apparatus where contact with the

sample occurs, is assessed by rinsing the sampling apparatus with deionized water following



decontamination. These equipment rinsate blanks will consist of water samples collected directly into the

appropriate bottle for each parameter.

For water and soil samples, these blanks are collected by filling the field-cleaned sampling device

with the designated blank-source water to the volume normally attained when an actual sample is taken.

The water is allowed to remain in the sampling device for a period of time approximating the length of

time that an actual sample remains in the device. Appropriate sample container(s) are then filled, capped,

and labeled in the same manner used for water field samples.

Rinsate blanks will be collected at a frequency of 5 percent (1:20) per equipment type. Rinsate

blanks will not be collected for sampling procedures completed using dedicated sampling equipment,

except for a one-time demonstration that the dedicated sampling equipment is free of contamination. For

this evaluation, one set of clean and unused equipment will be rinsed with water, and the rinsate blank

will be submitted as a rinsate blank to be analyzed for the same parameters as the associated groundwater

samples.

13.1.1.4 Field Blanks

Field blanks will be collected from sources of water used during field sampling events that may

come in contact with samples, or sampling equipment, and have a possible impact on sample results.

Field blanks are collected from water used as the final rinse in equipment decontamination, water used to

prepare equipment rinse blanks, or water used in drilling activities. Field blanks will be collected at a rate

of one per source for each sampling event. Field blanks consist of samples made by filling appropriate

sample bottles from the source location where water is obtained for use in the field.

For dissolved metals, a separate field blank must be collected that will be either field or

laboratory filtered prior to analyses. This filtered water blank will be obtained by processing the

designated blank-source water through the field filter-apparatus and then preserving and handling this

blank-water sample in the same way as field-filtered metals samples. For every 20 samples collected for

dissolved metals, a filtered-blank must be generated.



13.1.2 Field Duplicates

Field duplicates (FD) provide a measure of the reproducibility (precision) of the sampling

procedures and the representativeness of the samples. Two subsamples from a single sample location and

depth interval are obtained and prepared and analyzed by the laboratory. Each sample is labeled with a

unique sample number, and both are submitted to the laboratory for the appropriate analyses. Field

duplicate samples will be collected at a frequency of 5 percent (1:20) per matrix for each parameter.

Field duplicates will be collected from the same sampling location, depth, or interval as the original field

sample. Precision goals for field duplicates are presented in Table 7-2.

Aqueous field duplicate samples will be collected immediately after the original sample. The

field duplicate sample bottle will be filled using the same procedures as the original sample.

For soil/sediment samples, the field sampler will attempt to collect a sample that is representative

of the same geologic strata as the original sample. Samples for VOC analysis will be collected directly

from the sampling location or sampling device. Samples will not be homogenized prior to selection. For

all other soil parameters, field duplicates will be collected immediately after the original sample from an

aliquot of soil that has been homogenized in a stainless steel bowl.

13.1.3 Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicates

All Matrix Spike (MS) QC samples will be specified in the FSPs and listed on the COC for the

analytical laboratory. Matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) analyses are performed in

association with all samples analyzed for organic compounds. Analysis of matrix spike/matrix duplicate

(MS/MD) is performed in association with all samples analyzed for inorganic analytes, as well as for wet

chemistry parameters, where applicable.

Matrix spike (MS) samples designated in the field on the COCs. The MS samples are then

prepared in the fixed laboratory by placing a known quantity of analytes into the field sample. The MS is

then processed in a manner identical to the other samples. Percent recovery of each of the spiked

compounds or analytes reflects the ability of the laboratory and method to accurately determine the

quantity of the analyte in that particular sample (i.e., is a measure of accuracy in the specific sample

matrix). Note that it does not reflect the ability to determine the analyte in other, even similar samples. If



a quantity of the spiked analyte exists in the sample prior to addition of the spike, this quantity is

subtracted from the MS result to determine the quantity of the spike that has been "recovered". Tables 5-

2 through 5-6 define accuracy criteria for organic constituents in the MS.

The MSD samples prepared as QC checks on the precision of organic analyses are identical to

MS samples. A second aliquot of the same field sample used for the MS is fortified with the same

quantity of the spiking compounds and is processed in an identical manner. The results for the MS/MSD

pair provide a measure of the precision of the determinations by assuring the availability of positive

results for comparison. Table 7-2 defines precision criteria for the MS/MSD pair for organic constituents.

A MS/MSD pair analysis will be performed for all organic parameters at the minimum frequency

of one per 20 samples per matrix or per SDG (minimum five percent frequency).

Matrix duplicates (MDs) will be analyzed for all inorganic and wet chemistry analyses at the

minimum frequency of one per 20 samples per matrix or per SDG (minimum five percent frequency).

13.2 Fixed Laboratory QC

The laboratory analytical methods chosen to support the Site Closure Investigations (i.e., SW-

846) include required QC procedures, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions so that comparable data

will be produced by the analytical laboratories throughout the duration of the Site Closure Investigations.

Analytical quality control will be monitored through laboratory QC checks, which include analysis of

blanks, spiked samples (matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates), and initial and continuing calibration

checks. All laboratory QC activities are specified in the analytical method and are incorporated into the

laboratory SOPs. Where appropriate/applicable, the fixed laboratory QC will comply with MA DEP's

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Guidelines for the Acquisition and Reporting of Analytical Data

in Support of Response Actions for the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (MA DEP, 2004a). A

summary of field QC requirements is presented in Table 6-5 and laboratory QC requirements are

provided in Table 13-1 (EPA-NE QAPP Worksheets #24a, 24b). Table 7-2 provides the MPCs associated

with the QC samples.

In general, laboratory QC checks include, but are not limited to: method blanks to assess

contamination during sample analysis; calibration and surrogate standards (for organics) for assessing



accuracy; MS/MSD or MS/MD to assess accuracy, precision, and presence of matrix effects;, second

dissimilar column confirmation for GC analyses; and LCS analytes to determine instrument accuracy.

Control limits for these laboratory QC checks are summarized in Table 13-1. Some of the QC samples

are described in more detail, below.

13.2.1 Method and Analytical Blanks

Method or preparation blanks are generated within the laboratory during the processing of the

field samples. These blanks are processed using the same reagents and procedures at the same time as the

samples being analyzed. Contamination found in the method blank (MB) would indicate that similar

contamination found in associated samples may have been introduced in the laboratory, and not actually

be present in the samples. MBs will be analyzed at a minimum frequency of one per 20 samples per

matrix per parameter, per preparation/analysis batch), or as stipulated in each analytical method. Criteria

for MB acceptance are presented in Table 7-2.

Analytical blanks such as Initial Calibration Blanks (ICBs) and Continuing Calibration Blanks

(CCBs) are required by inorganic CLP methods. These blanks are laboratory reagent-grade water and

acid solutions to match sample digestates analyzed at the beginning, intervals during, and the end of an

analytical sequence to assess contamination and instrument drift. The ICB is analyzed at the beginning of

the analytical run following the calibration and ICV. The CCB is analyzed prior to sample analyses,

every ten samples thereafter, throughout the analytical run, and at the end of the analytical sequence.

13.2.2 Surrogate Spikes

Where appropriate for the analytical method, each aqueous (groundwater) and soil sample to be

analyzed for organic compounds will have surrogate compounds added to it before extraction. The

recovery of these surrogates aids the analysts in determining matrix effects on recovery of compounds in

each sample and is a measure of accuracy. Table 7-2 defines surrogate spike criteria in terms of the

percent recovery of organic constituents.



13.2.3 Laboratory Fortified Blanks/Laboratory Control Samples

LCSs and LFBs are samples containing known amounts of compounds which the laboratory

prepares and analyzes concurrently with project samples. The recovery of analytes or compounds in these

samples provides a measure of method accuracy in the absence of matrix effects (as compared to MS

samples). Analytical frequency is one LCS or LFB per preparation batch, not to exceed 20 samples per

batch.

14 Data Acquisition Requirements

Information and/or data generated and collected outside of the Site Closure Investigations (and

any limitations on the data) that will be used to make environmental decisions. In general, data will be

used to assess the potential sources of contamination, the nature and extent of contamination, and existing

Site well installation, geologic, and hydrogeologic data.

Only previously-generated chemical data of known quality (i.e., generated by USEPA/State

certified laboratories) will be incorporated into the Site Closure Investigations database managed by

Gradient. Some historical sediment, soil, and groundwater data were assessed by Gradient; qualifiers

were added to the results and recorded in the site database.



15 Data Management Tasks

Prior to data collection, determinations made regarding the data to be gathered in the field and the

methodologies to be used are documented in the FSPs. Once the data are obtained, they will be reviewed

and assessed as to their adequacy. Information pertaining to project documentation and records,

laboratory SDG deliverables, data reporting formats, data handling and management, and data review and

assessment is provided below.

15.1 Project Documentation and Records

paginated and include all of the above plus the forms as specified. The original full data packages to

undergo validation will be submitted to the data validator (ERM or other designee), with additional copies

submitted to both Gradient and Yankee.

15.2 Data Reporting Formats

A variety of tables and figures will be used to present data from field activities in investigation

reports. Table and figure formats are use to provide a streamlined approach to presenting large amounts

of information, and to summarize important Site information.

15.2.1 Tabulated Data

Analytical chemistry and Site geological data will be presented in organized table formats in

investigation reports. The majority of data will be tabulated and presented as hard copy documents in the

report or as hard copy or electronic formats in associated appendices. The following information may be

provided in task-specific investigation reports:

• Summary of Field Investigation Activities: The purpose of this table is to summarize all investigation activities including field explorations and exploration techniques, identification codes for explorations, and purpose of each activity.

• Summary of Analytical Program: The purpose of this table is to summarize exactly what analytical and/or geotechnical samples were collected from each exploration location and zone.



• Soil Exploration Details: The purpose of this table is to summarize soil exploration activities into a concise summary including exploration IDs, dates, depth, sample intervals, soil types, and extent of boring.

• Monitoring Well Completion Details: The purpose of this table is to summarize monitoring well characteristics including well location ID, drilling method, screening information, and construction materials.

• Water Level Summary: The purpose of this table is to present water level data from groundwater locations including well IDs, well elevation measurements, and water level data.

• Slug Test Analysis Results: The purpose of this table is to summarize data from slug tests including well location, screen location, soil type, type test, date, and calculated results.

• Off-Site Laboratory Analytical Results: The purpose of this table is to present a complete reporting of laboratory data including location, sample ID, depth, type, collection date, compounds tested, reporting limits, and concentrations for detected compounds.

• Summary of Detected Target Analytes Tables: The purpose of these tables is to present a concise listing of target analytes detected during the investigation. These tables may be customized to provide an easy format for reviewing contamination at the Site.

15.2.2 Data Figures

A variety of figures may be used in reports to present a model of each Study Area. Figures will

be used to present geological characteristics of the Site, to illustrate locations of explorations relative to

Site features (buildings, streets, surface water bodies), and to represent the distribution of detected

chemicals. The figures will be customized based on the needs of each task-specific report. The following

figures may be presented:

• Site Location Map: This figure will illustrate the regional location of the YNPS Site.

• Site Features and Explorations: This figure will illustrate the specific Study Area at the Site where the field investigation is occurring. Locations of explorations will also be plotted relative to Site structures.

• Data Collection Location Map: This figure will present the locations of the samples collected.

• Geological Cross Section Map: This figure will illustrate the subsurface geology and vertical positions of explorations.

• Water Table and Piezometric Surface: This figure will illustrate groundwater levels and interpreted groundwater flow directions.



• Analytical Data Figures: This figure will be used to illustrate the distribution and location of detected target analytes. Separate figures will typically be presented for each media (surface soil, subsurface soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater) that are included in the investigation.

15.3 Data Handling and Management

As the project QAO, Gradient will create an analytical database of sample results obtained

directly from the subcontract laboratory. This will be done to allow for the reporting, validation, and

qualification of the data using USEPA procedures discussed in this QAPP. The Site Closure project team

will rely upon validated data in the project database in all data analyses.

Diskette deliverables in the electronic disk deliverable (EDD) format (Table 15-1), or suitable

equivalent, will be provided to Gradient by the laboratory. The EDDs may be submitted via E-mail or on

disk. Hard-copy data packages will not be considered complete until the associated EDDs are submitted.

Gradient will maintain the database for this investigation in a Microsoft Access-based database

system. All EDDs received from the laboratories will be uploaded into the database, which has the

capability to sort, manipulate, tabulate, and present the data according to various parameters. Following

upload, the data results will be screened against the project target detection levels. Any

compounds/analytes exceeding the QAPP-specified target detection levels will be summarized in a

summary report table. Yankee and ERM will be provided remote access to this summary table so that

they may periodically review all compounds/analytes that exceed the target detection levels.

Gradient's database will be made available to the third-party validators (ERM or other designee)

via read-only remote access. Gradient will generate data spreadsheets from the database for each SDG to

be validated and email them to the data validators. Data validation procedures will then be conducted

using the information provided in the hard copy data package deliverables and database spreadsheets. As

the data are validated, the appropriate Region I qualifiers will be applied to the sample results by the

validators directly into the data spreadsheets. Initial and senior reviews will be performed for all data per

Region I requirements. Once the validation is complete, the validators will forward the revised

spreadsheet file to the Gradient database manager, who will upload the revisions directly into the

database. The validators will QC the final data summary tables to make sure that all qualifications were



properly made to the data results. If required, Gradient will generate final hard copy tables to supplement

the data validation reports, and the revised database will be submitted to the agencies. The final

(validated) results will be used for contamination assessment, risk assessment, and the generation of data

tables for reporting purposes.

15.4 Database Review

During the database review process, data summary tables will be produced for all methods and all

sample analyses completed by the off-Site laboratory. The accuracy of the data presented on these tables

will be verified by the data validators during data validation to ensure that the electronic data matches the

hard copy documentation provided by the laboratory.

Data qualifiers may be applied to the data results during the data review and validation process.

These qualifications will be incorporated into the database and will be verified by the data validators

during table output review prior to using the data in investigation reports.

15.5 Data Tracking and Control

15.5.1 Data Tracking

Implementation of standard COC procedures will allow for tracking of individual samples and

data from sampling through validation to the final database. All data will be in the custody of the

Gradient Project Coordinator, who will ensure that all hard copies and electronic files are stored in an

organized manner for easy retrieval.

15.5.2 Data Storage, Archival, and Retrieval

For the duration of the project, all electronic files will be stored on Gradient's computer network

within a dedicated project directory folder. Electronic copies of the validation reports and the final

project database will be stored indefinitely on Gradient's network. Hardcopies of all data validation

reports will be filed in Gradient's Information Resource Center (IRC). After the project is closed, the

Gradient Project Manager will instruct the IRC to permanently archived all electronic files on CD ROM



and store all hard copy documents at Gradient's off-site storage facility. All field sampling data will be

microfilmed in accordance with YAEC Procedure AP-0221 "Plant Record Management".

15.6 Comparison to Reportable Concentration Criteria

Once all data have been validated, soil and groundwater results will be compared to MCP

Reportable Concentrations to evaluate if a potential reporting condition exists.

16 Assessments and Response Actions

Assessments (i.e., field or laboratory audits) are performed to ensure that the data results are of

high quality and are adequate for their intended use. Yankee reserves the option to audit any and all

elements of the Site Closure process, including any portion governed by the QAPP, and any of its prime

contractors or subcontractors in the performance of their responsibilities on this project.

16.1 Planned Assessments

16.1.1 System Audits

At the discretion of the Gradient QAO or at the request of USEPA or MA DEP, a systems audit

may be performed by Gradient at any point during the Site Closure Investigation. The systems audit will

be used to verify that a system of QC measures, procedures, reviews, and approvals were established and

were used at appropriate stages in the investigation, that the documentation system was adhered to, that

records exist indicating QC checks and reviews were performed, and that corrective action was taken if

the need for such action was identified during a QA/QC audit.

16.1.2 Performance Audits

The Gradient QAO may choose to assess and/or audit the performance of the field-sampling team

and laboratory performing the analysis. The QAO will also direct the sampling teams and laboratory on

an as needed basis. If requested, a field audit will be performed during sampling and a laboratory audit

may be performed immediately prior to receipt of samples, if necessary. Additionally, laboratory audits

may be performed during the course of the analytical program as part of the pro-active approach to ensure

that the project objectives are met. Audits during the program may be performed at a frequency to satisfy

the QAO that the sampling and analysis is progressing within QA/QC limits set forth in this QAPP and

the defined methods.

A completed QA notice will be prepared to close out the audit when corrective action is required.

The QA notice will identify the specific nonconformance noted, the corrective action taken, a follow-up



review to assure that the corrective action was effective, and final recommendations concerning continued

operation.

16.1.3 Fixed Laboratory Audits

The laboratory involved in analyses for this program may be audited under the direction of the

QA Manager. Items will be addressed as applicable to the specific method being reviewed during the

audit. The following items, at a minimum, will be addressed:

• Sample flow through lab and internal sample tracking

• COC

• Sample storage

• Sample preparation/extraction and analysis including:

Ñ SOPs

Ñ Logbooks or bench sheets for all preparation procedures of samples, calibration standards, QC standards/check samples, blanks

Ñ Logbooks or bench sheets for all analytical procedures for samples, calibrations, QC checks, matrix QC samples, blanks

Ñ All above documentation must include the following:

¡ Analyst initials and date

¡ Single-line cross-out for corrections, initials and date

¡ Units recorded

¡ Method reference number or SOP reference

• QC samples documentation inclusive of items above and for all blanks, calibrations, calibration verification check samples, LCSs, spikes, duplicates, surrogates, control charts (where applicable)

• Data file storage including hard copy of all data, other media (disk, tape, etc.)

• Laboratory safety procedures

• Laboratory QA procedure including internal audits, corrective-action forms, QC control charts

Qualification and training records of the laboratory analysts to determine their ability to perform

the work in accordance with the required analytical methods and project DQOs.



16.1.3.1 Laboratory Internal QC Audits

Internal laboratory audits incorporate two major steps to judge the laboratory's continued ability

to perform in accordance with required protocols: 1) on-going evaluation of laboratory performance, and;

2) on-site inspection of the laboratory to verify continuity of personnel, instrumentation, and QC

procedures.

16.2 Assessment Findings and Corrective Action Responses

At various times throughout this program, situations may arise that will require some degree of

corrective action, ranging from simple corrections on routine field documentation to systematic problems

in the fixed laboratory that necessitate shutting down sample analyses until the problem is identified and

corrected.

Corrective action procedures must be implemented when these situations occur, as well as when

deviations from the QAPP are noted by project personnel (i.e., field sampling and/or analytical problems)

outside of the formal assessment process. The following paragraphs describe how situations requiring

corrective action should be handled and documented in both the field and the laboratory for the purposes

of this project.

A nonconformance detected during the system audit will be grounds for delay in project

completion until corrective action which effectively addresses the nonconformance has been taken. The

Laboratory Project Manager will be responsible for carrying out the corrective action. The Laboratory

Project Manager shall evaluate each nonconformance report and shall require written response describing

the action taken to correct the deficiency.

The Laboratory Project Manager is also responsible for ensuring that no additional work that

depends on the nonconforming activity is performed until the nonconformance report is corrected. All

technical staff are responsible for reporting suspected technical and QA nonconformances to the

Laboratory QA Manager.

Appropriate corrective action for nonconformances include re-performance of the nonconforming

task, rejecting the results of the nonconforming task, accepting as-is the results of the nonconforming



task, or other action. In all cases the nonconformance must be reported, the potential effects of the

nonconformance on other related tasks identified, and the effectiveness of the corrective action evaluated.

The nonconformance evaluation for non-laboratory activities will include at a minimum

evaluating the following:

• field notebooks, logsheets, and tracking forms, and determining any inconsistencies and/or omissions;

• FSP; and

• final reports – reports and deliverables shall be peer reviewed before being issued.

16.2.1 Field Corrective Action

In the field, situations such as equipment or instrument malfunction may occur and require

subsequent corrective action. Additional problems may also be identified as a result of a field audit.

Wherever possible, immediate corrective action should be taken. Immediate corrective actions taken

must be clearly described in the field logbooks, but no other formal documentation is required unless

further corrective action is deemed necessary.

Any problem or situation which cannot be solved through immediate corrective action will fall

into the long-term corrective action category. The steps for long-term corrective action are as follows:

• Identify and define the problem.

• Investigate and determine the cause of the problem.

• Determine and implement a corrective action to eliminate the problem.

• Verify that the corrective action has eliminated the problem.

Documentation of the problem is important to the system. A field Corrective Action Request

Form or equivalent will be completed by the person finding the quality problem. This form identifies the

problem, possible causes, and the person responsible for action on the problem. The responsible person

may be a supervisor or Field Team Leader. If no person is identified as responsible for action, the Field

Team Leader will investigate the situation and determine who is responsible in each case.



The Corrective Action Request Form includes a description of the corrective action planned, the

date it was taken, and space for follow-up. The Field Team Leader will check to be sure that initial action

has been taken, appears effective, and at an appropriate later date check again to see if the problem has

been fully solved. The Field Team Leader will receive a copy of all Field Corrective Action forms, and

will enter them in the Corrective Action Log. This permanent record will be maintained by the

Environmental Controls Manager or designee, will aid the Field Team Leader in follow-up action, and

will be reviewed by the QA Manager during program audits.

If the severity of the problem warrants discussions with the regulatory agencies, the corrective

action will be addressed with USEPA Region I and MA DEP prior to its implementation. An example of

a situation requiring such notification is the release or threatened release of hazardous substances,

pollutants, or chemical constituents which may threaten public health, welfare, or the environment. The

Order requires that within 24 hours of obtaining knowledge of such an event that USEPA Region I be

notified with information concerning the event which occurred and the measures which have been and

will be taken to mitigate the occurrence and prevent re-occurrence of the event.

16.2.2 Laboratory Corrective Action

As a result of a system audit, a case audit, or observation of or by laboratory personnel,

discrepancies may be found which affect the validity of quality of analytical data. Corrective actions will

be implemented to correct the deficiency or weakness and to identify any analytical data that may have

been affected. Immediate corrective actions taken must be noted in laboratory logbooks, but no other

formal documentation is required unless further corrective action is deemed necessary.

If a problem persists or cannot be readily identified, a formal corrective action procedure is

initiated. The Laboratory QA Manger shall use this procedure to provide that the condition is reported to

a person responsible for correcting it, who is part of a closed-loop action and follow-up plan.

The essential steps in the closed-loop corrective action system will include the following:

• Identification and definition of the problem

• Delegation of responsibility for investigating the problem

• Investigation and determination of the cause of the problem



• Determination of a corrective action to eliminate the problem

• Delegation and acceptance of responsibility for implementing the corrective action

• Establishment of effectiveness of the corrective action and its implementation

• Verification that the corrective action has eliminated the problem

A Corrective Action Request may be initiated by an analyst supervisor, lab QA Manager, or

during a lab audit by the Gradient QAO. A Laboratory Corrective Action Request Form or equivalent,

will be completed by the person finding the quality problem. This form identifies the problem, possible

cause and the person responsible for action on the problem. The responsible person may be an analyst,

supervisor, or the Laboratory QC Manager. If no person is identified as responsible to implement the

corrective action, the Laboratory QC Manager will investigate the situation and determine the course of

action for resolution.

The Corrective Action Request Form includes a description of the corrective action planned, the

date it was taken, and space for follow-up. The laboratory QC Manager will check that initial action has

been taken, appears effective, and at an appropriate later date will check again to see if the problem has

been fully solved. The Laboratory QC Manager will receive a copy of all Laboratory Corrective Action

forms, and will enter them in the Corrective Action database. This permanent record will aid the

Laboratory QC Manager in follow-up action and this log will be reviewed by the Laboratory QA Manager

during program audits.



17 QA Management Reports

Reports for a variety of quality-related activities will be generated during Site Closure. These

reports will be submitted to numerous members of the project team, as well as to the USEPA Region I

and MA DEP when appropriate. The reports will include, but will not be limited to, data validation

reports (ERM), data usability reports (Gradient), site characterization reports (ERM), etc.

17.1 Project Deliverables

Preparation of each investigation/Site report will begin following completion of the investigation

activities. The specific contents of reports will be identified in each FSP. In general, reports contain

historical summaries of past activities and data, summaries of field investigation activities, data quality

evaluations, presentation of geologic and hydrologic data interpretations, chemical data, contamination

and risk assessments, and recommendations on future actions. A Draft Report will be submitted to YNPS

for review. Revisions resulting from this review will be incorporated into the Final Report to be

submitted to USEPA, MA DEP, and other interested parties.

Report development will involve drafting of text, and compilation of data tables and figures for

geologic, hydrogeologic, chemical, and risk assessment. Draft reports will be prepared under the

direction of the Project Manager and reviewed by a technical review committee.



18 Data Verification and Validation Requirements and Procedures

Validation of measurements is a systematic process of reviewing a body of data to provide

assurance that the data are adequate for their intended use. Data validation is the process of reviewing

data and accepting, qualifying, or rejecting them on the basis of sound criteria. For the Site Closure

Investigations program, reported sample results will be verified and a tiered validation approach will be

performed by data validators in accordance with the USEPA Region I Laboratory Data Validation

Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Organic Analyses (USEPA, Region I, 1996b; USEPA, Region I,

2004), Region I Laboratory Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Inorganic Analyses

(USEPA, Region I, 1988), and the Region I Tiered Organic and Inorganic Data Validation Guidelines,

(USEPA, Region I, 1993). In some cases, professional judgment may also be used to qualify results. All

decisions requiring professional judgment will be clearly documented in validation memos. For chemical

methods for which Region I published data validation guidelines do not exist (e.g., hydrazine,

dioxin/furan, selected wet chemistry analyses, EPH/VPH), method-specific QC and laboratory SOP

protocols and professional judgment will be used in qualifying the data.

For at least 25% of the data generated during the Site Closure Investigations, a full Region I Tier

II validation review will be performed per sample matrix to determine fixed laboratory data usability

according to a modification of the guidelines set forth in Region I Tiered Inorganic and Organic Data

Validation Guidelines, July 1, 1993. The following quality control parameters will be reviewed in order

to assess data usability, where applicable, to the organic and inorganic analyses: holding times, QC

results including initial and continuing calibration result summaries, surrogate recoveries, internal

standard responses, matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate results, matrix duplicate results, LCS/LFB results,

laboratory (i.e., method, calibration) blanks, trip blanks, equipment blanks, field duplicates, and percent

solids content (soils and sediments only). For all analytical parameters except PCBs, raw data will not be

provided in the data deliverable. Therefore, for the purposes of the validation review, all QC results will

be assumed to be correct on the reporting forms. For PCBs, a review of the chromatograms and

quantitation reports will be performed in addition to the aforementioned QC parameters.

All remaining data will undergo a Modified Tier I review. This modified assessment will include

a more limited data evaluation, but will include, at a minimum, a review of blank contamination, holding

times, and percent solids content (soils and sediments only). In addition, the laboratory case narratives



for each SDG will be reviewed for any severe QC deficiencies that might warrant closer inspection

(i.e., low surrogate recoveries that may require data rejection). Such QC issues will be evaluated on a

SDG by SDG basis only, and appropriate actions will be taken. Both the Tier II and Modified Tier I

reviews will include a Region I Tier I Completeness Audit. The completeness audit will be modified to

include a review of the reduced data packages against the items this project requires as outlined in the

QAPP.

The Tier II and Modified Tier I reviews will be based on USEPA Region I Laboratory Data

Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Organic Analyses (USEPA, Region I, 1996b; USEPA,

Region I, 2004), Region I Laboratory Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Inorganic

Analyses (USEPA, Region I, 1988), and the Region I Tiered Organic and Inorganic Data Validation

Guidelines, (USEPA, Region I, 1993), and/or professional judgment. During the evaluation, the data will

also be assessed for usability based upon the site-specific DQOs and professional judgment. The

validators will generate a validation narrative that summarizes all technical issues affecting accuracy,

precision, and sensitivity of the data, and will summarize any actions taken, qualifiers applied, and any

miscellaneous technical issues. The report will include all sample data reporting forms annotated with the

data validation qualifiers and any other revisions. A separate report will be prepared per SDG for the Tier

II review, while one report per matrix will be generated for the Modified Tier I reviews.

As described in Section 15.3, Gradient will provide the validators with remote access to the

project database. The validators will generate spreadsheets containing the data for each SDG, and the

validators will modify the spreadsheets with any qualifiers or edits required based on the validation

review. Any qualifiers applied to the data results will also be handwritten on the sample result summary

forms within the data package. These annotated reporting forms will be included with the data validation

reports. Once the initial and senior validation reviews are completed, the validator will generate and

forward the written validation report to the Gradient QAO. The validator will also send the modified

electronic data summary tables to Gradient's database manager for upload into the project database.

Gradient will then review the data validation report against the data summary tables, and will provide the

validators with any comments or requested revisions. Once all comments have been reviewed by the

validators and any required revisions have been made, the validator will submit the final validation report

to the project team. Yankee will receive the original data validation report, with copies submitted to

Gradient and ERM.



If severe non-compliant QC issues are identified during the Tier II validation review, a Tier III

data validation may be triggered and the laboratory will be required to perform corrective actions. A Tier

III data validation is equivalent to a full validation, and includes a detailed review of all raw data to check

for technical, calculation, analyte identification/quantitation, and transcription errors. To satisfy Tier III

data validation requirements, the laboratory will be requested to submit a full data package deliverable

(complete reporting of QC samples and associated raw data). A full deliverable will consist of (but not

limited to) all calibration (initial and continuing) data, mass spectra tuning data, instrument printouts, and

associated method quality control summary forms.

Data validation qualifier codes that will be used are:

J - Estimated concentration U - Compound was not detected UJ -Estimated quantitation limit R - Result is unreliable, rejected, and unusable

All data validations will be performed within 28 days of receipt of the hard copy data packages

from the laboratory. All data validation reports will be generated to document that the data were

validated according to the aforementioned protocols, will include the data validation findings, and will

summarize the PARCCS parameters. The final, original data validation reports will be submitted to

Yankee, and copies of all reports will be provided to the Gradient and ERM.



19 Verification and Validation Procedures

19.1 Internal Verification

19.1.1 Field Verification

QA for field data is accomplished through the use of standard field protocols. Validation of data

obtained from field measurements will be the responsibility of the Field Manager or designee. Field data

(pH, temperature, etc.) will be validated by confirming the procedures used by the analyst, checking for

complete documentation, and comparing the data to previous measurements. Data that cannot be

validated will be documented as such, and corrective action taken as appropriate. Additionally, the

Gradient QAO may perform a field audit during sampling in order to check compliance of field protocols

with those outlined in the FSP and this QAPP.

Radiological data will be evaluated according to YAEC Procedure DP-8603, "Radiochemical

Data Quality Assessment."

19.1.2 Fixed Laboratory Analytical Data Verification

Before data packages are submitted to the data validation contractor (ERM or other designee) for

screening review, at a minimum, the fixed laboratory should perform a verification of the data generated.

This analytical data verification should address the following checks:

• Completeness

Documented review of the following for each SDG:

1. Traffic report and COC forms.

2. Case narrative listing non-compliance issues.

3. Cover page, tabulated QC results, and sample results. At a minimum these will include: tabulated sample concentrations; MS/MSD/MD results with percent recoveries and percent RPD per analyte; all blanks tabulated (MBs and laboratory blanks); LCSs with percent recoveries; initial and continuing calibration sample results with percent recoveries; holding times; percent solids for soils; surrogate recoveries; and MDLs.



4. Raw data supporting all analyses.

5. Raw data supporting all standardization, calibrations and QC samples.

6. Preparation of extraction logs for all tests, matrices, and samples.

7. Percent solids determination log (soil only).

8. Laboratory and field sample IDs which are consistent and can be tracked throughout data.

9. Documentation of holding times.

• Accuracy

Review of LCS and MS samples (where applicable) to determine accuracy based on

percent recovery of a known spiked compound/analyte.

• Precision

Review of laboratory MDs, MSD, and FDs where applicable. Based on RPD between

the duplicate values.

• Detection limits

Review of data reporting limits with QAPP.

• Blank contamination

Review of all blanks (FBs, TBs, MBs, laboratory analytical blanks) to assess validity of

the data based on criteria set or blank levels in the QAPP.

100% x added spike

value) sample- value spike(sample =Recovery %

RPD = sample value - duplicate valuesample value + duplicate value

2

x 100%



The analytical data acceptance limits for LCS, MS/MSD/MD, all blanks, initial and continuing

calibrations are defined within the methods and/or this QAPP.

It is expected that the quantitation limits defined in Section 6 will be met. Due to dilutions,

elevation of reporting limits may occur in complex matrices. In all cases where dilution is required to

lessen matrix effects during sample analyses, the lowest possible dilution will be performed. Precision

and accuracy requirements have been defined in Section 7. Project DQIs are defined in Table 7-2.

Guidelines for acceptable surrogate standard recoveries in water, spike recoveries, and RPD of duplicates

have been defined in the QAPP based on USEPA Region I criteria, technical references, as listed in

Section 21, and fixed laboratory SOPs. These guidelines will be used in evaluating data quality.

19.1.2.1 Data Reduction

The analyst who generates the analytical data has the prime responsibility for the correctness and

completeness of the data. All data will be generated and reduced following protocols specified in USEPA

method references and/or the appropriate laboratory SOPs. Each analyst will review the quality of his/her

work, based on an established set of guidelines. This will constitute the "primary review." The analyst

will review the data package to determine the following:

• Sample preparation information is correct and complete

• Analysis information is correct and complete

• The appropriate laboratory SOP has been followed

• Analytical results are correct and complete (including calculations)

• QC samples are within established control limits

• Blanks are within established control limits

• Special sample-preparation and analytical requirements have been met

• Documentation is complete (e.g., all anomalies in the preparation and analysis have been documented; holding times are documented)

• All corrections on raw data and any generated forms are made with a single-line cross-out that is initialed and dated by the analyst

The primary analyst will initial and date all documents generated by him or her. A "secondary

review" of the data generated by the primary analyst will be performed. This will entail a 100 percent



check of all data included in that item. The secondary reviewer (senior analyst, supervisor or manager)

will initial and date all reviewed documents.

Interpretation of raw data and calculation of results are signed and dated by the laboratory

scientist performing the data reduction on the data report forms. Another scientist, often the laboratory

manager, must verify the results and sign the data before they are released. Additionally, a member of the

laboratory QA staff should perform an audit of a percentage of the data generated as specified in each

laboratory's QAP.

19.2 External Verification

Verification of all data will be performed by the data validators (ERM or other designee), with

oversight by Gradient and YNPS.

The original hard copy data packages will be sent directly to the data validators, with copies sent

to both Gradient and Yankee. The laboratories will provide Gradient with EDDs via electronic mail or

diskette. Gradient's database manager will upload the electronic deliverables into the project database and

will generate data summary tables electronically or in hard copy for the validators to use during their

review. An initial and senior review will be performed on all data packages according to Region I Tier I

or Tier II validation procedures for all data packages (see Section 18 for specific procedures). The

validator will work closely with Gradient's database manager to ensure that the database is edited

accurately based on the qualifiers added during the validation review.

Validations will be completed within 28 days of receipt of the data packages and electronic

deliverables from the laboratories. Following validation, the data validation reports will be submitted to

USEPA Region I and MA DEP, as appropriate. Copies of all original reports and data packages will be

stored at ERM (or other validation designee) indefinitely. The electronic database will be maintained by

Gradient.



20 Data Usability/Reconciliation with Project DQOs

Analytical data generated for the project will be reviewed by the Gradient QAO (and/or

designated representatives) prior to finalizing results for use in investigation reports. Data review will

include data verification and formal data validation using USEPA guidelines, including the qualification

of results with qualifiers that identify data usability considerations for the data users. Through the

reviews and validation steps, the DQI determinations for the data set will be completed and reported

results will be verified (refer to Section 18).

Assessment of the representativeness of sample results will be made by evaluation of quality

control blanks collected with each data set. Sample data will be qualified using method and field QC

blank data as outlined in USEPA Region I data validation guidelines. Blank results may also be reviewed

for the entire sampling event if patterns of contamination are observed. Based on trends observed for the

entire data set, data interpretations on potential false positive data reporting may be developed for

analytes observed in blanks. Documentation of all data interpretations for non-Site-related chemical

constituents will be provided in project reports. Potential laboratory or field contaminants will be

identified and addressed in the contamination assessment and risk assessment (refer to Section 16).

An assessment of precision and accuracy of analytical data is accomplished via review of field

duplicate analyses, and surrogate and/or spike recovery, both in water and soil matrices (refer to

Section 7). Spike sample data include blank spike/LFBs, LCS, and MS/MSD results. Accuracy is

expressed as percent recovery. Precision is expressed as the relative percent difference between results

for duplicate pairs. Interpretations on data usability and control limits for surrogate recovery, matrix

spike recovery, and field duplicates will be based on comparable limits presented in this QAPP and

applicable laboratory generated control limits, and USEPA Region I data validation guidelines.

Results will be validated using USEPA Region I validation guidelines (refer to Section 18). The

data validation will be conducted according to a modification of the Tier II guidelines. Results will be

qualified in accordance with the validation guidelines. Edits will be made to preliminary results based on

the validation actions and qualifications to generate a final data set. All assessments, qualifications, and

professional judgments will be summarized in data validation reports presented with each investigation

report.



The Gradient QAO or designee will perform a senior review of all validation reports and data

qualifications leading to the production of the final data presented in project reports (refer to Section 16

and 18). During the QA review, the following examinations will be completed:

• Validation procedures will be compared to procedures scoped for the project to verify that the correct guidelines, QC criteria, and levels of validation were completed;

• Data qualification actions will be reviewed for all data delivery groups to verify that the correct qualifiers are applied and actions meet specifications of the referenced validation guidelines;

• Professional judgment decisions described in validation reports will be reviewed to provide a final review of judgment decisions;

• The final validation report will be reviewed to verify the report summarizes all validation actions for the project data set and identified data associated with DQI measurements and MPC that are not met. Data usability statements for methods, target analytes, or specific samples will be developed for presentation in the project reports.

For data sets generated with the remaining methods discussed in Section 12, the Gradient QAO

will review the data prior to final reporting in investigation reports. During the review, the Gradient QAO

will evaluate QC measurements associated with the data sets using the MPC defined in Section 7 and the

referenced analytical methods. QC measurements include method calibration data, QC blank data,

laboratory control sample results, matrix spike results if applicable, and duplicate results. Results will be

qualified using general procedures described in the USEPA validation guideline and the judgment of the

project chemist. Assessments, qualifications, and professional judgments will be summarized in data

validation reports presented with each investigation report.

Data validation reports will be prepared as an appendix to investigation-specific reports.

Validation actions and data qualification will be summarized in the data validation reports.

Interpretations of the DQIs on the data sets will be presented, and discussions of data usability will be

provided (refer to Section 7). For some target analytes data usability may be qualified, if necessary, based

on DQI interpretations. Data use considerations may include identification of results as estimated with

interpreted biases, or the rejection of results. Results presented on summary tables will be qualified as is

routinely done during full data validation. Statements of data usability with respect to PSARCC

parameters (Section 7) will be summarized in the report prior to presentation of data in contamination and



risk assessments. The data use considerations will be incorporated into interpretations presented in

project reports and risk assessments.

Each investigation report will contain an assessment of data quality and usability (refer to Section

16). This assessment will be included in the report prior to contamination and risk assessments to identify

all data use considerations. Data collected during field and laboratory activities will be compared to

target detection levels and MPC goals to determine if the data meet quality objectives established for the

program. The report will include a summary of data qualified during validation due to precision and

accuracy measurements, identification of potential lab or field contamination, a review of detection limits,

and a review of data completeness to determine if the quantity and quality of data are adequate to meet

project DQOs established in the individual FSPs. Data usability and data gap considerations will be

identified again when results are presented in contamination and risk assessments.
