RE: Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report Brooks Pharmacy Plaza (former Buffurn's Supermarket) 1 12 Rockingham Street Bellows Falls, VT SMS site #2001-2855
Dear Mr. Noyes:
This Annual Groundwater Report for the above referenced Site was prepared by Environmental Compliance Sefvices, Inc. (ECS) of Brattleboro, Vermont, on behalf of Conner Contracting, who is working for Brooks Pharmacy. A Site Location Map is provided as Figure 1. Groundwater sampling activities were conducted in accordance with the VTDEC approval of the scope of work presented in a work plan 04-P-0 123V dated December 13,2004, prepared by ECS.
Groundwater samples were collected on February 16, 2005, and submitted to Spectrum Analytical, Inc. of Agawam, Massachusetts. The groundwater sampling log for the February 16, 2005 sampling event and the laboratory analytical data is provided in Attachment I. A summary of relevant site conceptual model information and a discussion of the 2004 groundwater contaminant trends are summarized below.

Groundwater Flow Direction:
Brooks Pharmacy Plaza former Buflum 's Supermarket)
112 Rockingham St., Bellows Falls, VT VT DEC SMS Site # 2001-2855
Groundwater flow was reported to be in an east- southeasterly direction toward the Connecticut River, based on previous investigations by Griffin International.
February 16,2005 Vermont Primary Groundwater Quality Standards (PGQS) for ethylbenzene, napthalene, and 1,2,4 and 1,3,5 trimethylbenzenes were exceeded in the sample collected from HEI-1R. A summary of laboratory analytical data from monitoring well HEI-1R is included in Table 1.
The Brooks Pharmacy Plaza is located on Rockingham Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont. The site is abutted immediately to the south by a gasoline station; to the west-southwest by a steep undeveloped/wooded hillside; to the north by Williams Street, across which is another gasoline station; on the east by Rockingham Street, across which are located (north to south)' a restaurant, antique shop, and pub. Behind (east of) the restaurant, antique shop, and pub is a steep grade down to Canal Street, with the Connecticut River beyond. The site is served by municipal water supply and sewer system.
ECS took over the project from the defunct Griffin Lnternational after approval of the ECS work plan in December 2004. On January 3, 2005, ECS personnel arrived onsite to find that monitoring wells HEI-1, - 3, -4 and -5 had apparently been paved over. ECS personnel returned to the site on January 13, 2005 in order to determine the status of monitoring wells and whether or not repair was possible. The monitoring wells were found to have been filled with grout making simple repair impossible.
ECS gained approval from VT DEC to replace monitoring well HEI-1 only. Replacement of the other three monitoring wells for the purpose of continued monitoring of groundwater flow direction was deemed unnecessary.
Monitoring well HEf-1R was installed by ECS on February 4, 2005 (See the Boring Log in Attachment I11 for well construction detail, soil descriptfons, soil screening results, etc.). Groundwater sampling of HEI-1R occurred approximately 2 weeks later (See Groundwater Sampling Log in Attachement I).
Visual and olfactory evidence of soil and groundwater contamination was observed (during monitoring well replacement) in the split spoon samples collected from 40'-42' and 45'-47' below ground surface depth ranges.
Vermont Primary Groundwater Quality Standards (PGQS) were exceeded in the groundwater sample from monitoring well HEI-1R.

A plus sign (+) in the Method Reference column indicates the method is not accredited by NELAC.
Laboratory Control Sample (LCS): A known matrix spiked with compound(s) representative of the target analytes, which is used to document laboratory performance.
Matrix Duplicate: An intra-laboratory split sample which is used to document the precision of a method in a given sample matrix.
Matrix Spike: An aliquot of a sample spiked with a known concentration of target analyte(s). The spiking occurs prior to sample preparation and analysis. A matrix spike is used to document the bias of a method in a given sample matrix.
Method Blank: An analyte-free matrix to which all reagents are added in the same volumes or proportions as used in sample processing. The method blank should be carried through the complete sample preparation and analytical procedure. The method blank is used to document contamination resulting from the analytical process.
Method Detection Limit (MDL): The minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and reported with 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero and is determined from analysis of a sample in a given matrix type containing the analyte.
Reportable Detection Limit (RDL): The lowest concentration that can be reliably achieved within specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions. For many analytes the RDL analyte concentration is selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve. While the RDL is approximately 5 to 10 times the MDL, the RDL for each sample takes into account the sample volume/weight, extracttdigestate volume, cleanup procedures and, if applicable, dry weight correction. Sample RDLs are highly matrix-dependent.
Surrogate: An organic compound which is similar to the target analyte(s) in chemical composition and behavior in the analytical process, but which is not normally found in environmental samples. These compounds are spiked into all blanks, standards, and samples prior to analysis. Percent recoveries are calculated for each surrogate.

Work performed: ( Square-cut asphalt in 2 previously identified monitoring well locations (patched asphalt)
Removed asphalt to find wells both wells had been packed with approximately W asphalt and Bentonite or some similar substance to and undetermined depth
[ Broke off approximately 5" of PVC riser and probed with a screwdriver to establish that well was packed with Bentonite to a depth of at least 7" (and presumably completely filled)
I Patched asphalt with concrete mixed with an additive to help concrete set up in cold weather
