The location of the Site is shown in Figure 1-1. This report documents the results of the semiannual groundwater monitoring eventconducted on May 27,2021 and describesthe work performed and the results obtained. Thegroundwatermonitoring wells were sampled in strict conformance with theQuality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan, which ispartof the Post Closure Monitoring and Maintenance Manual, dated August 2003. In the past, groundwater sampling was performed quarterly, with three rounds analyzed for New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR)Part 360 Routine Parameters and one round analyzed for 6 NYCRR Part 360 Baseline Parameters on a rotating basis. In the Spring of 2015, on behalf of the Town of Southold, D&B proposed modifications to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) pertaining to the sampling frequency and analyses for the Post-Closure Groundwater Monitoring Program for the Site. The request for these modifications was approved by the NYSDEC on July 2, 2015. Modifications to the Post- Closure Groundwater Monitoring Program included: A reduction in sampling frequency from quarterly to semiannually for all well clusters (MW-1, MW-3, MW-4, MW-5, MW-6 and MW-8); and Groundwater analysis for 6 NYCRR Part 360 Baseline Parameters for both semiannual sampling events. This report is organized into the following sections: Section 2.0 (Sampling Procedures and Analyses) describes the water level measurements and groundwater sampling procedures, as well as the groundwater analyses; Section 3.0 (Groundwater Level Measurements) summarizes the groundwater level measurements and groundwater elevations; Section 4.0 (Discussion of Results) summarizes the key findings from this groundwater monitoring event, including 5535\\KK07192101 1-1 Long Island Sound Southold 48 25 Great Peconic Bay SOUTHOLD LANDFILL CUTCHOGUE, NEW YORK SITE LOCATION MAP Figure 1-1 5535-A01 -Site Location Map.indd (07/06/21 - 11:01 AM) comparison of the laboratory results to NYSDEC Class GA Groundwater Standards and Guidance Values; and Section 5.0 (Conclusions and Recommendations) provides conclusions and recommendations based on the first semiannual 2021 results. 5535\\KK07192101 1-3 2.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES AND ANALYSES Water level measurements and groundwater samples were collected from the Site’s 12 monitoring wells(MW-1S, MW-1D, MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-4S, MW-4D, MW-5S, MW-5D, MW-6S, MW-6D, MW-8S and MW-8D) on May 27, 2021, as partof thisSemiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event. A site plan showing the locations of the monitoring wells is provided in Figure 2-1. The following sectionsprovide a brief discussion of the procedures used during groundwater level measurements, groundwatersampling and sample analysis. 2.1 Groundwater Level Measurement Procedures Water level measurements were obtained from the 12 monitoring wells to determine the volume of standing water in the well for purposes of purging, as well as for determination of groundwater elevations and flow direction. Groundwater level measurements were obtained from a surveyed measuring point on each well utilizing a decontaminated electronic water level indicator to an accuracy of 0.01 foot. A discussion regarding groundwater level measurements and groundwater flow direction is provided in Section 3.0. 2.2 Groundwater Sampling Procedures Sampling procedures for the collection of the groundwater samples were implemented in accordance with the protocol described in the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan, which is part of the Post Closure Monitoring and Maintenance Manual, dated August 2003. Field decontamination was performed between sampling locations for non-disposable equipment. Prior to collecting groundwater samples, the 12 monitoring wells were purged to remove the standing water in each well. Well purging was accomplished by first measuring the static water level in the well and then calculating the volume of standing water. A decontaminated submersible pump and dedicated low density polyethylene tubing was used to purge the water from the well. Decontamination of the submersible pump used for well purging was performed in accordance with the procedure described in the QA/QC Plan. 5535\\KK07192101 2-1 150 3000300 SCALE IN FEET *NOTE: WELL SYMBOLS NOT TO SCALE SCALE: 1"=300' F:\\5535\\dwg\\5535-FIG-2-1.dwg, Figure 2, 7/6/2021 11:55:33 AM, rferrell During the purging process, groundwater was monitored and recorded for the following field parameters: pH, temperature, specific conductance, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen and turbidity. Whenthe values of the field parameters stabilized to within 10% based on the last two readings, the turbidity of the groundwaterwasless than 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs), and at least three well volumes had been removed, well purging was considered complete. In accordance with the QA/QC Plan, groundwater samples were collected using new, dedicated, disposable polyethylene bailers and polypropylene rope. Samples for VOC analysis were collected first, followed by inorganic parameters and leachate indicators. Each sample was labeled with the well number, time, and date, stored in an ice-filled cooler with the chain of custody forms, and delivered to the laboratory (Pace Analytical Services, Inc.). Appropriate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples, which included matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) sets and a trip blank were collected in accordance with the QA/QC Plan. Tables summarizing the analytical results are provided in Appendix A and are discussed in Section 4.0. Groundwater sampling logs for this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event are provided in Appendix B, and the chain of custody forms are provided in Appendix C. 2.3 Sample Analyses Groundwater samples collected during this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event from the 12 monitoring wells were analyzed for 6 NYCRR Part 363 Baseline Parameters. Laboratory analyses were performed by Pace Analytical Services, Inc., located in Melville, New York. This laboratory is approved under the New York State Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) for the analyses performed. 5535\\KK07192101 2-3 3.0 GROUNDWATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS Groundwater level measurements were collected by D&B on May 27, 2021, from the 12 groundwater monitoring wellsaspartof thisSemiannual 2021groundwater monitoring event. The groundwater level measurements from the monitoring wells are summarized in Table3-1. As shown in Table 3-1, watertable elevations in the shallow (“S”) wells at the Site ranged from7.38feet above meansea level (MSL) in well MW-1S, located on thesouth end of the Site, to 5.86 feet above MSL in well MW-5S, located on the north side of the Site. Based upon the May 27, 2021 groundwater level measurements and calculated water table elevations, groundwater flow direction was determined to be in a north-northwesterlydirection. Therefore, well cluster MW-1 is located upgradient of the Site, and the other wells are located along the downgradient boundary of the Site. Potentiometric surface elevations in the deep (“D”) wells at the Site are generally consistent with the shallow well water table elevations, except for well MW-8D, and indicate no substantial vertical hydraulic gradient throughout the landfill site. An upward vertical hydraulic gradient is indicated at well cluster MW-8, due to the lower water table elevation. 5535\\KK07192101 3-1 Table 3-1 SOUTHOLD LANDFILL FIRST SEMIANNUAL 2020 GROUNDWATER MONITORING EVENT MONITORING WELL GROUNDWATER ELEVATION MEASUREMENTS MAY 27, 2021 Measuring Point Depth toWater from Elevation Measuring Point Groundwater Elevation Well Designation (feet above msl)(feet)(feet above msl) 37.45 7.38 MW-1S 44.83 MW-1D 37.36 7.52 44.88 MW-3S 43.11 6.39 49.50 MW-3D 42.80 6.39 49.19 MW-4S 57.15 5.88 63.03 MW-4D 57.05 5.87 62.92 MW-5S 62.28 5.86 68.14 MW-5D 61.80 5.84 67.64 MW-6S 49.27 6.50 55.77 49.22 6.49 MW-6D 55.71 47.90 6.26 MW-8S 54.16 47.70 7.59 MW-8D 55.29 5535\\KK07192101 3-2 4.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 4.1 Data Validation Twelve groundwater samples, one matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD),and one trip blank were collected as part of the May 2021 Sampling Event performed at Town of Southold Landfill. All samples were analyzed forthe 6NYCRR Part 363Baseline Parameters, includingvolatile organiccompounds (VOCs), inorganic parameters (metals),and leachate indicators. Sample analysis was performed in accordance with SW-846 methods. The laboratory analyses were performed by Pace Analytical Services, Inc., Melville, New York. The data package (70174774)submitted by the analytical laboratory was validated in accordance with NYSDEC quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) requirements, the contract requirement, and Part 363. All samples were analyzed within the method specified holding times except where noted below. The following requirements were outside limits and required qualification of the data: Boron was detected in the preparation blank and was qualified as non-detect (UB) in sample MW-5S. Hexavalent chromium in all samples were analyzed outside the holding time. They were qualified as an estimated detection limit (UJ) in in samples MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-4S, MW-4D, MW-6S, MW-6D, MW-8S and MW-8D. The relative percent difference was above the QC limit in the laboratory duplicate for fluoride associated with all samples and it was qualified as estimated (J/UJ). The percent recovery for hexavalent chromium, fluoride, chloride, and cyanide were below the QC limit in the MS associated with all samples. They were qualified as estimated (J/UJ) in all samples. No other issues were identified with the sample results and all results are deemed valid and usable for environmental assessment purposes as qualified above. Data Validation checklists completed for the May 2021 Sampling Event are provided in Appendix D. 5535\\KK07192101 4-1 4.2 Groundwater Results The laboratory results for this Semiannual2021groundwater monitoringevent are summarizedon Table A-1 through TableA-3 andpresentedin Appendix A.These resultsare compared to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Ambient Water Quality Standards and Guidance Values for Class GA groundwater (herein referred to as the Class GAgroundwater standardsandguidance values).Table A-1 provides theVOCresults, Table A-2 the inorganic parameters (metals) results,and Table A-3 the leachate indicator results. Graphs illustrating historical total volatile organic compounds (TVOC's), select inorganic parameters and select leachate indicators for the monitoring wells are presented in Appendix E. Field parameters measured during the groundwater purging process are presented on the groundwater sampling logs in Appendix B. A discussion of the field parameters and each analytical parameter group is provided below. 4.2.1 Field Parameters A review of the field parameters collected immediately prior to collection of the groundwater samples, provided on the groundwater sampling logs in Appendix B, indicates the following key findings: Conductivity values werehighest in deep wells locateddowngradient of the Site, including wells MW-3D, MW-4D, MW-5D, and MW-8D.Thehigher conductivity values appearto beSite-related. There is no Class GA standardor guidance value for conductivity. Groundwater temperatures wereapproximately 1 to 2 degrees Celsius higher in many of the downgradient wells, relative to the upgradient wells.The highest temperatures were recorded in well clusters MW-3,MW-4 and MW-8. There is no Class GA standard or guidance value for temperature. Groundwater pHwaslowerthan the minimum Class GA groundwater standard of 6.5 in upgradient well MW-1S and in five (5) downgradient wells (MW-3S, MW-4S, MW-5D, MW-6S and MW-6D). Theresults are consistent with thenaturally low pH of Long Island groundwater. In general, groundwater pH was higher in each of the deep wellclusters. 5535\\KK07192101 4-2 Dissolved Oxygen(DO) concentrationswere lower in the downgradient wells relative toupgradient wells and were generally lower in the deep wells relative to the shallow wells. DO concentrations in the downgradient wells ranged between 0.26 mg/l at deep well MW-5 to a maximum of 5.98 mg/l at shallow well MW-5S. It should be noted that the DO concentrations in upgradient wells MW-1S and MW-1D were 8.07 mg/l and 2.51 mg/l, respectively. There is no Class GA standard or guidance value for DO. The Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of groundwater was positive in upgradient well cluster MW-1 and at downgradient well clusters MW-5 and MW-6, as well as well MW-4S, indicating oxidizing conditions. The ORP of groundwater was negative in well clusters MW-3 and MW-8, as well as well MW-4D, indicating reducing conditions. There is no Class GA standard or guidance value for ORP. In general, the groundwater samples collected from the 12 Site monitoring wells were observed to be clear and did not have a noticeable odor. Light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) or dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) was not noted in any of the groundwater samples collected from the 12 Site monitoring wells. Overall, the field parameter results obtained during this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring eventare consistent with previous sampling events and are indicative of limited leachate impacts, typical of a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. The leachate-related impacts are relatively minor inmagnitude and limited to higher conductivity and temperature and lower DOand ORP in certain downgradient wells. 4.2.2Volatile Organic Compounds Review of the VOC results provided on Table A-1 in Appendix A indicates the followingkey findings: VOCs were not detected above Class GA groundwater standards in upgradient well cluster MW-1. Nine out of the ten downgradient monitoring wells did not exhibit any VOC concentrations above their respective Class GA groundwater standards. Downgradient well (MW-4D) exhibited VOC concentrations of 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloropropane, which exceeded their respective Class GA groundwater standards. 5535\\KK07192101 4-3 In general, the VOC results for thisSemiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event are consistent with previous sampling events. Based on these results, the Site is not a significant source of VOC contaminantsingroundwater. 4.2.3Inorganic Parameters (Metals) Review of the inorganic parameter (metals) results provided on Table A-2 in Appendix A indicates the following key findings: Iron, magnesium, manganese and sodium were detected above their respective Class GA groundwater standards/guidance values in one or more wells, as follows: - Iron was detected above the Class GA guidance value of 300 ug/l in downgradient wells (MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-6S, MW-8S and MW-8D). Iron concentrations in these wells ranged from 4,090 ug/l in shallow well MW-6S to a maximum of 65,400 ug/l in shallow well MW-3S. - Magnesium was detected above the Class GA guidance value of 35,000 ug/l in deep downgradient well MW-4D, at a concentration of 51,300 ug/l. At each well cluster, higher magnesium concentrations were detected in the deep well, which suggests that the detected magnesium concentrations may be partly associated with naturally saline groundwater conditions at depth. - Manganese was detected above the Class GA groundwater standard of 300 ug/l in all downgradient wells, with the exception of MW-5S. Manganese concentrations in thewells which exceeded the groundwater standard, ranged from 600ug/l in deep well MW-6D to a maximum of 7,800 ug/l in deep well MW-5D. - Sodium was detected above the Class GA groundwater standard of 20,000 ug/l in upgradient well MW-1S and five (5) downgradient wells (MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-4D, MW-5D and MW-8D). Sodium concentrations which exceeded the groundwater standard in the downgradient wellsranged from 33,900 ug/l in shallow well MW-3Sto a maximum of 149,000 ug/l in deep well MW-4D. At each downgradient well cluster, higher sodium concentrations were detected in thedeep well, which suggests that the detected sodium concentrations may be partly associated with naturally saline groundwater conditions at depth. In general, the inorganic parameter results for this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event are consistent with previous sampling events and are indicative of limited 5535\\KK07192101 4-4 leachate impacts, typical of a closed MSW landfill. Groundwater in the North Fork of Long Island is also naturally saline at depth, which may contribute to the higher concentrations of some inorganic parameters observed in the deep wells. 4.2.4Leachate Indicators Review of the leachate indicatorresults provided on Table A-3 in Appendix A indicates the following key findings: Ammoniaandchloride were detected above their respective Class GA groundwater standards in one or more wells, as follows: - Ammonia was detected above the Class GA groundwater standard of 2 mg/l in 6 downgradient monitoring wells (MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-4D, MW-5D, MW-8S and MW-8D). Ammonia concentrations in these wells ranged from7.3mg/l in shallow well MW-3S to a maximum of 55.4 mg/l in deep well MW-5D. - Chloride was detected slightly above the Class GA groundwater standard of 250 mg/l in downgradient deep well MW-4D, at a concentration of 264 mg/l. In general, the leachate indicator results for this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event are consistent with previous sampling events and are indicative of limited leachate impacts, typical of a closed MSW landfill. 5535\\KK07192101 4-5 5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results of this Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event, D&B concludes thefollowing: Water level elevations, horizontal and vertical hydraulic gradients, and groundwater flow directionsare consistent with previousresults and local/regional hydrogeologic conditions. In general, groundwaterqualityis consistent with previous sample results and are indicative of limited downgradient leachate impacts. Aportion of the elevated metal concentrations detected in downgradient deep wells may be related, in part, to naturally saline groundwater conditions at depth. The results discussed in this report are generally consistent with previous sampling events and do not indicate any significant changes or deterioration in groundwater quality that would warrant a change in the scope of the monitoring program. Therefore, it is recommended that semiannual groundwater monitoring continue consistent with the NYSDEC approved petition. The next monitoring round (Second Semiannual 2021 groundwater monitoring event) is scheduled to be conducted in November of 2021 for Part 363 Baseline Parameters. 5535\\KK07192101 5-1 APPENDIX A GROUNDWATER ANALYTICAL RESULTS 5535\\KK07192101 Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx 2.9 6.5 Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx Table A-2 Page 1 of 1 Town of Southold Landfill Groundwater Monitoring Program Monitoring Well Sample Results Inorganic Parameters Sample ID MW-1SMW-1DMW-3SMW-3DMW-4SMW-4DMW-5SMW-5DMW-6SMW-6DMW-8SMW-8D Sample_date 05/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/2105/27/21 Units in ug/l NYSDEC CLASS GA GROUNDWATER ST/GV METALS Aluminum--200U200U200U200U200U200U125J200U1640200U386200U Antimony 3 ST60U60U60U60U60U60U60U60U60U60U60U60U 25 ST10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U Arsenic 1000 ST58.4J25.9J115J22986.7J135J39J115J118J22.4J158J53.5J Barium 3 GV5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U Beryllium 1000 ST11.2J11.6J99.62391215078.3UB41721.4J41.8J137153 Boron 5 ST2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U2.5U Cadmium --52602240019000246008800012300059303690020400370005950041200 Calcium 50 ST20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ20UJ Chromium, Hexavalent 50 ST3.7J10U10U10U10U1.5J5.8J2.7J13.11.4J3.8J2.2J Chromium, Total --50U50U18.9J27.3J50U12.1J50U18.9J7.9J50U11.7J4J Cobalt 200 ST25U25U6.6J3.9J4J25U25U8.9J9.4J25U10.6J25U Copper 200 ST10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ10UJ Cyanide 300 ST #20U20U 6540032200 20U 288 214 80.24090203431009480 Iron 25 ST5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U5U Lead 35000 GV429010100120001410012000 51300 4170191006120130001120019900 Magnesium 300 ST #8.3J10U 2770125012803590 58.2 780015106009241750 Manganese 0.7 ST0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U0.2U Mercury 100 ST20.4J13.9J19.5J31.6J19.1J40.810.8J37.5J31.1J31.3J21.2J20.4J Nickel --2710J1200J107003250013700437002060J5930055403120J2240027200 Potassium 10 ST10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U Selenium 50 ST10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U Silver 20000 ST 23700 15900 3390042300 8840 149000 13200 60800 115001490020000 39900 Sodium 0.5 GV10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U10U Thallium --50U50U50U50U50U50U50U50U5.1J50U50U50U Vanadium 2000 GV 20U20U20U20U20U20U20U20U11.3J20U20U20U Zinc ug/lMicrograms per liter UCompound was analyzed for but not detected GV Guidance Value ST Standard #Standard for total iron and manganese is 500 ug/l --No ST or GV J:Estimated value or detection limit Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx 264J 7.341.924.6 Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx 55.418.511.5 Exceeds Class GA Standard/Guidance Value J:\\_HazWaste\\5535 (Southold GW and LFG Monitoring)\\Groundwater\\1st 2021 GW Report\\May 2021.xlsx APPENDIX B GROUNDWATER SAMPLING LOGS 5535\\KK07192101 APPENDIX C CHAIN OF CUSTODY FORMS 5535\\KK07192101 APPENDIX D DATA VALIDATION CHECK LIST 5535\\KK07192101 DATA VALIDATION CHECKLIST Project Name: Town of Southhold Landfill Project Number: 5535 Sample Date(s): May 27, 2021 Sample Team: Keith Robins Matrix/Number Water/ 12 of Samples: Field Duplicates/ 0 Trip Blanks / 1 Field Blanks/ 0 Analyzing Pace Analytical Services, LLC, Melville, NY Laboratory: Analyses: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): by SW846 8260C Metals: Total by SW846 Method 6010C and mercury by Method 7470A General Chemistry: Hardness (SM 2340 B), Alkalinity (SM2320B), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (USEPA 410.4), Color (SM 2120B), Fluoride, Sulfate, and Bromide (USEPA 300.0), Chloride (SM22 45000), Total Dissolved Solids (SM 2540C), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (SM5210B), Nitrate (USEPA 353.2), Ammonia (SM 22 4500), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) (USEPA 351.2), Hexavalent Chromium (SM22 3500), Cyanide (USEPA 9014), Total Organic Carbon (USPEA 9060A) and Phenolics (USEPA 420.1) Laboratory 70174774 Date: 07/02/2021 Report No: ANALYTICAL DATA PACKAGE DOCUMENTATION Performance GENERAL INFORMATION Reported Acceptable Not No Yes No Yes Required 1.
