Ft. Richardson Groundwater Monitoring

Satori developed a Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP), Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), and Site Safety Health and Safety Plan (SSHP) prior to conducting Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Low-Flow Sampling of 46 groundwater monitoring wells located throughout Fort Richardson.  Our plans were approved by the United State Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) prior to executing the work.

Satori sampled monitored wells for known Contaminants of Concern (CoCs) for each operable unit to include petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and various metals.  Continuous field parameter monitoring included pH temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity.  Satori evaluated natural attenuation using field parameters with laboratory analytical results for methane, ethane, and nitrate.

Laboratory results were compared to applicable Remedial Action Objectives (RAO), EPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals, and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) published cleanup criteria. We prepared an Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) submittal in accordance with contract specifications.

Furthermore, Satori participated in a Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) meetings to discuss sampling data, notable contaminant trends, and recommendations for future monitoring activities. Separate annual reports with data quality review and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) coverage figures were provided for each Operable Unit (OU) specifying contaminant trends, conclusions, and recommendations.

These sampling events were conducted during the initial contract.  Satori received a contract modification and was awarded a second year of sampling based on our project performance.
