1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Management Plan has been generated for Remedial Investigation activities at the Witco Corporation (Witco) Oakland, New Jersey facility. It covers the management of all field activities, sample analysis, data validation and reporting under the tasks described in the Work Plan.

2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

As prime contractor to Witco, Roy F. Weston, Inc., (WESTON) is responsible for completing the tasks as required in the Administrative Order. In doing so, WESTON is committed to completing each task assignment in a safe, and technically superior manner. The Project Director for WESTON is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the project is completed, with coordination of site logistics, quality control procedures, and reporting as primary goals. That essentially means that standard practices must be in place and that site personnel have the necessary resources available to them. WESTON'S Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that a sound Work Plan, Quality Assurance Project Plan, Health and Safety Plan and Management Plan are available on-site. The Field Supervisor is responsible for day-to-day implementation of these Plans.

2.1 Subcontractors

WESTON will perform all site sampling activities, analytical work and data validation for this project. WESTON's Gulf Coast Laboratory in University Park, Illinois, will carry out all analyses requiring 500 series methodology. The Gulf Coast lab routinely performs EPA CLP protocols to meet the requirements of the Illinois EPA, Region 5 EPA and numerous private clients. Gulf Coast is certified to perform work for wastewater and drinking water in New Jersey. The lab is also performing analytical work under the NJDEP X408 contract. WESTON's Lionville, Pennsylvania laboratory will Carry out all other analyses. The Lionville lab routinely performs EPA protocols to meet the requirements of the States of New York and New Jersey and numerous private clients. Environmental Drilling Inc. (EDI) will be WESTON's subcontractor that will provide all drilling services on the Witco property. In the event that EDI is unable to provide these services, a backup drilling contractor, Technical Environmental Specialists Corporation (TES) has been identified. Field survey work will be done by licensed WESTON personnel or by GEOD Corporation, a licensed surveyor subcontractor. A Stage IA cultural resources

such as Chemical Waste Management.

3.0 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF SITE

The Witco Corporation site is located at 100 Bauer Drive, City ofOakland, Bergen County, New Jersey. The site is ^Jcc^hasindustrial area and covers approximately nine (9) acres. Witco has owned and operated the facility since 1966. The .£a®consisted of a chemical research laboratory and specialty chemical pilot plant. A series of underground seepage pits "®®d.the disposal of laboratory wastewaters from the facility from 1966

through 1984.

In 1982, the NJDEP issued a directive requiring Witco to cease the discharge to the seepage pits, and prepare a elective Action Plan. Witco complied with the request. Later in 1982 the NJDEP requested that Witco prepare and implement a plan to characterize

the local groundwater conditions.

In 1982, Witco performed a hydrogeologic investigation which in­cluded the installation of 4 monitoring wells. The findings of that investigation were reported to the NJDEP in 1983.

In 1985, USEPA-REGION II (EPA) performed a preliminary site assess­ment which included the collection of the follc^inJ: groundwater samples; (8) soil samples; (1) surface water sample from Hoppers Lake; and (1) sediment sample from Hoppers Lake. Compounds detected in those samples included 2-butanone, dieldnn,

DDE, DDT, and benzo(a)pyrene.

In 1987, Witco commenced implementation of a Cleanup Plan Jj£®“ pared in 1986. Excavation of the seepage pit system, including nearby contaminated soils, was followed by filling and regrading of the site with clean fill. Cleanup activities were completed in 1988. Groundwater sampling events occurred (5) times between 2/87 and 6/88. In 1989, the EPA issued an Administrative Order to Witco

- 2 -\WP50\03732001\MGMTPLN.TXTREVISED 06/02/90

WIT

001

y*

which requested that the activities covered by this plan be carried

out.

4.0 SCOPE OF WORK

WESTON will complete the following tasks:

Installation of (5) groundwater wells and (3) soil

borings.Sampling of well and boring cuttings.Groundwater sampling.Surface water sampling.

- Surface soil sampling.

4.1 Project Schedule

The schedule to complete the Scope of Work is summarized in Figure 4-1. in order to achieve the target schedule# individual activ­ities can be scheduled to overlap or occur simultaneously as much as possible. The planned execution of field work related to this

project will be as follows:

• Initial subsurface investigations (test borings, and soil sampling) associated investigations and surveying.

• Monitor well installation, follow-up subsurface investi­gation, associated surveying, and first round water and sediment sampling.

One draft report and a final report are planned to document the results of field work and preliminary remedial action evaluation. The actual Scope of Work and project schedule may be revised by agreement between Witco and EPA or by EPA alone. As indicated by the findings of the Remedial Investigation, Feasibility Study activities will occur concurrently with RI activities and an FS Work Plan will provide an integrated schedule of all activities.

5.0 PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITY

The organization for this project is illustrated diagrammatically in the chart in Figure 5-1. The following is a description of project responsibilities.

logs, geophysical data, water level measurements, field water quality data, and sample point coordinate locations. In addition, the Data Administrator will assist the Field Supervisor in keeping the field teams supplied and in maintaining daily progress reports.

The Quality Assurance Officer for the project will report directly to the Project Director. The QA Officer is responsible for review and validation of data generated. The Data Administrator or Tech­nical Lead may request assistance from the project QA Officer in validating a data set or data analysis technique. The QA Officer is responsible for review of project laboratory deliverables.

Professional profiles for the key WESTON personnel may be found in Appendix A.

5.1 DATA MANAGEMENT

5.1.1 Recordkeeping

Data related to all sample preparation and analysis procedures and observations by laboratory analysts are recorded in bound labora­tory notebooks which are issued by the Laboratory Quality Assurance Section. Laboratory notebook pages are signed and dated daily by laboratory analysts. Corrections to notebook entries are made by drawing a single line through the erroneous entry and writing the correct entry next to the one crossed out. All corrections are initialed and dated by the analyst.

5.1.2 Building Security

The WESTON laboratory maintains controlled building access at all times. During working hours, all noh-WESTON laboratory personnel are required to sign in with the receptionist and are escorted by laboratory personnel while in the building.

The laboratory is locked by an ADT Security System between the hours of 5:00 P.M. and 8:00 A«M. Monday through Friday and during non-working hours. This security system not only monitors building access, but also monitors the temperature in the sample storage refrigerators. If the control temperature range is exceeded during working hours, an audible alarm sounds, and during non-working hours, a silent alarm alerts ADT personnel. Response by laboratory personnel is described below.

The building is accessed by laboratory employees during non-work­ing hours by using a key and the pass code for the building secur-

- 7 -\WP50\03732001\MGMTPLN.TXTREVISED 06/02/90

ity system.

Any breach of security during non-working hours sounds a silent alarm to security agency personnel who alert the local law en­forcement agency and one of three laboratory personnel via beeper call. Police response to security alarms takes place within 5 minutes, and laboratory personnel are on-site within 20 minutes.

5.1.3 Field Logs

All data collection activities performed at the site will be docu­mented either in a field notebook or on appropriate forms. Entries will be as detailed and descriptive as possible so that a partic­ular situation can be recalled without reliance on the collector's memory. All field log entries will be dated. Field notebooks will be bound books and will be assigned to individual field personnel for the duration of their stay in the field. All field log forms will be kept in ring binders assigned to individual field person­nel.

The cover of each notebook or ring binder will contain the follow­ing information:

• Person to whom the book is assigned.• Project name.• Start date.• End date.

It will be the responsibility of all field personnel to photocopy all field logs (including notebook pages and field forms) generated during a field day at the end of that day.

5.1.4 Data Reduction. Validation, and Reporting

5.1.4.1 Field and Technical Data

The field and technical (non-laboratory) data which will be collec­ted during the Oakland Facility effort can generally be character­ized as either "objective" or "subjective" data.

Objective data include all direct measurements of field data such as field screening/analytical parameters, Water level measurements, and geophysical data. Subjective data include descriptions and observations such as lithologic descriptions of well cuttings and soil borings.

- 8 -\WP50\03732001\MGMTPLN.TXTREVISED 06/02/90

WIT

001

0112

5.1.4.1.1 Field and Technical Data Reduction

As described in Subsection 1.6.2.2 of the QAPP, all field data will be recorded by field personnel in bound field notebooks and on the appropriate field forms in ring binders. For example, during drilling activities, the field team member supervising a rig will keep a chronologic log of drilling activities, a vertical descrip­tive log of lithologies encountered, (following the Burmeister Soil Classification System), other pertinent drilling information (staining, odors, field screening, atmospheric measurements, water levels, geotechnical data), and a labor and materials accounting in his/her bound notebook.

After checking the data in the field notebooks and forms (see Data Validation in Subsection 5.1.4.1.2 below), the data will be reduced to tabular form, wherever possible, by entering it in data files* Objective data may be set up in spreadsheet type tabular files (e.g., water level data). Subjective data such as soil boring and well logs will be filed as hard copies for later review and for incorporation into technical reports as appropriate.

5.1.4.1.2 Field and Technical Data Validation

Validation of objective field and technical data will be performed at two different levels. On the first level, data will be valida­ted at the time of collection by following standard procedures and QC checks (e.g., triplicate measurements) specified in Section 2 of the QAPP. At the second level, after data reduction into tables, the data will be reviewed for anomalous values. Any inconsisten­cies or anomalies discovered by this review will be resolved imme­diately, if possible, by seeking clarification from the field personnel responsible for collecting the data.

Subjective field and technical data will be validated by the review of field reports for reasonableness and completeness. In addition, random checks of sampling and field conditions will be made to check recorded data at that time to confirm the recorded observa­tions. Whenever possible, peer review also will be incorporated into the data validation process, particularly for subjective data, in order to maximize consistency between field personnel. For ex­ample, during drilling activities, scheduled periodic reviews of archived lithologic samples will be performed to ensure that the appropriate lithologic descriptions and codes are being consistent­ly applied by all field personnel.

5.1.5 Laboratory Data

All analytical data are recorded into bound laboratory notebooks issued by the laboratory QA Section. Data are recorded and asso­ciated with the unique WESTON laboratory sample identification number which can be matched to the field sample identifier via the chain of custody record.

The laboratory analysts sign and date all notebook entries daily. The notebook pages are reviewed periodically by the Laboratory Section Manager prior to final data assembly. Copies of strip chart outputs (chromatograms, etc.) are maintained on file.

5.1.5.1 Laboratory Data Reduction

At the completion of a set of analyses, all Calculations are com­pleted and checked by the analyst. The associated quality control data are verified to be within project control limits.' If all data are acceptable, the data are submitted to the appropriate labora­tory Unit Leader or Section Manager for review. This is the pro­cedure for all organic and inorganic analytical data. If QC sam­ples do not meet acceptance criteria, corrective action is taken as described in Subsection 1.14.2 of the QAPP.

After the appropriate Laboratory Section sign-off of approved data is completed, the Laboratory Data Manager is notified that data are ready to be reported, and the completed analyses are removed from the laboratory backlog.

The Laboratory Data Manager, with input from the appropriate lab­oratory section reviews and assembles (as needed) the data report and narrative which is reviewed and signed by the Laboratory Section Manager and/or the Laboratory Manager.

5.1.5.2 Laboratory Data Validation

In addition to the data review performed by analysts and the appro­priate Laboratory Section Manager, the Laboratory QA Section audits the data reported by the WESTON Analytical Laboratory. This audit focuses on compliance of data with laboratory quality control re­quirements and client contractual requirements. This audit in­cludes checks on calculations, verification of the report format, and completeness of the data report package.

5.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGEMENT

5.2.1 CORRECTIVE ACTION

5.2.1.1 Field Corrective Action

The initial responsibility for monitoring the quality of field measurements and observations lies with the field personnel. The Field Supervisor is responsible for verifying that all quality control procedures are followed. This requires that the Field Supervisor assess the correctness of field methods and the ability to meet quality assurance objectives. If a problem occurs which might jeopardize the integrity of the project or cause some spe­cific quality assurance objective not to be met, the Field Super­visor will notify the Project Manager and the QA Officer. An ap­propriate corrective action will then be decided upon and implemen­ted. The Field Supervisor will document the problem, the correc­tive action, and results. Copies of the documentation form will be provided to the Project Manager and the QA Officer.

5.2.1.2 Laboratory Corrective Action

Laboratory Corrective Action is detailed in Section 13.0 of the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan attached as Appendix A to the QAPP.

5.2.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORTS

5.2.2.1 Field QA Reports

The Field Supervisor will provide the QA Officer with field progress reports and compiled field data sets at weekly or monthly intervals, as appropriate. In addition, the QA Officer will be copied on all corrective action documentation. The QA Officer may perform unannounced field QA audits. On the basis of this informa­tion, the QA Officer may provide quarterly QA update memos for this project to the Project Director. The Project Manager will be noti­fied immediately of field QA situations requiring corrective action.

5.2.2.2 Laboratory QA Reports

The Laboratory QA Coordinator provides quarterly and annual reports to WESTON management. These reports summarize QA activities for the reporting period including results of performance audits (ex­ternal and internal), results of system audits (external and in-

5.3 SITE MANAGEMENT

The basic components of site management in support of the plann­ed field activities are described in the following subsections.

5*3*1 General Operations and Coordination with Witco

Witco's Oakland Facility Manager is Mr. Ken Taylor. All coordina- paries on-facility will be performed by WESTON through

the Facility Manager and Witco's Designated Coordinator, Mr. Edward contacts from outside parties concerning the project

wil! be made either through Witco's Facility Manager or Designated

The Field Supervisor will be responsible for day-to-day coordina­tion of WESTON field teams and subcontractors as well as day-to-day contact with the Witco Facility Manager. Witco will be responsible for arranging for personnel and vehicle passes for WESTON and sub­contractor personnel, locating utilities, and coordinating issu­ance of digging permits for all sites designated for subsurface investigations.

For each field activity involving more than one person, a Field Team Leader will be designated by the Field Supervisor, in agree­ment with the Project Manager, from among the WESTON personnel present on-facility. The Field Team Leader will be responsible for coordinating the activities of his/her team, including subcontrac-logistical probi^s?1"9 fi6ld Supervisor of Progress and/or

5*3.2 On-Site Project Facilities

A room within the Witco facility or a construction trailer may be used as an on-site project office. An indoor storage space will

personal computer. It may be used as a central meeting point for planning field activities, daily debriefings, and, in case of con­tingencies or emergencies, it may serve as a field office for the Field Supervisor and Data Administrator. In addition, it may con­tain dry storage space for staging of field equipment and sampling containers as necessary.

5.3.3 Site Access and Security

It is anticipated that all field work will be performed within the boundaries of the Oakland facility. Access to the Oakland facility is limited to Witco and WESTON authorized visitors (predesignated EPA and NJDEP representatives).

During actual field operations, access to working areas will be limited to WESTON, subcontractor personnel and visitors pre-autho- rized by Witco. All visitors will be required to sign a visitor logbook and will be requested to keep clear of field activities. If the presence of visitors creates a situation perceived by the WESTON Field Team Leader or Field Supervisor as dangerous, all work will be terminated until appropriate working conditions can be restored. If necessary, the Field Team Leader or Site Supervisor, will notify Witco.

At the end of each work day during the installation of new monitor­ing wells, a protective barrier, such as a snow fence, will be placed around incomplete well installations. Witco Corporation will provide overnight security for these areas to prevent unautho­rized trespassing.

5.3.4 Site Logistics

All water for field operations (except where ASTM Type II reagent water is specified) will be obtained from facility drinking water sources to be specified by Witco. In general, water for drilling operations will be supplied from the nearest facility hydrant.

5.3.5 Contingencies

In the event that any unforeseen circumstances arise during the course of the field activities which would endanger anyone on-site, the site will be vacated and the Project Manager and Witco Facility Manager and Designated Coordinator will be notified. Due to the low levels of contaminants anticipated and the physical nature of the potential contaminants found on-site, it is not anticipated that fire or explosive conditions will be a problem. WESTON will
