1. Introduction
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of Operable Unit (OU) 1 at the Tar Creek Superfund Site (Site) in Ottawa County, Oklahoma is conducted under the authority of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Historically, OU1 O&M activities have included annual monitoring of four Roubidoux Aquifer groundwater wells within Ottawa County. However, one of these wells, Picher #5 (P5), is to be plugged due to previous monitoring results which have consistently exceeded Tolerance Limits and Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (SMCLs). The O&M program will continue monitoring the three remaining wells. Additional wells will be evaluated for inclusion into OU1 O&M monitoring to replace Picher #5.
The three remaining groundwater wells comprise two public water supply wells—one in Quapaw (Q4) and one in Picher (P7)—and one monitoring well in Commerce (C5) that is constructed to a public water supply (PWS) well standard. The groundwater well locations are presented in Figure 1. Well attributes are outlined in Appendix C. All wells are sampled for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), and sulfates (SO4). Fe, Zn, and SO4 are considered indicator parameters for identifying impacts by acid mine water (AMW). Development of these indicator parameters was described in a technical memorandum during the first phase of After Action Monitoring (AAM) (DEQ, 1993). Results from groundwater analyses for indicator parameters are compared to background levels, tolerance limits, and Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) or SMCLs. This comparison helps to determine whether water from the Roubidoux Aquifer wells is being impacted by AMW contamination originating from the Boone Aquifer. The three indicator parameters were chosen primarily because comparisons between AMW impacted groundwater and non-impacted groundwater showed the greatest numerical difference for these constituents; secondarily, data from a Tar Creek study showed that these constituents move more quickly through groundwater than Pb or Cd, thus providing an early warning of AMW contamination.
Also included in OU1 O&M activities, is the visual inspection of the Lytle Creek diversion dike in the Douthat area (O-3). O-3 is located within the southwest quarter of Section 29, Township 29 North, Range 23 East. Visual inspection of the Lytle Creek Diversion Dike is used to assess the integrity and functionality of the dike and diversion channel. This O-3 diversion dike was conceived as part of a plan to reduce surface water recharge into mines, thus reducing the volume of acid mine water (AMW) generated that can eventually upwell back to the surface and into water bodies such as Tar Creek.

2. Methods
Groundwater sampling was conducted by DEQ personnel under a DEQ approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) (DEQ, July 2020) and followed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) with strict chain-of-custody protocols. Wells Q4, C5, and P7 were sampled on October 15, 2020.
Groundwater was the only matrix sampled. Samples were collected at the wellhead (without chlorination) under reduced flow conditions via a spigot. Date, time, weather conditions, and sampling team personnel were recorded in the field logbook. Prior to sample collection, water stability parameters—pH, temperature, specific conductivity (SC), and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)—were measured using a YSI Multiparameter Meter and recorded in the field logbook. At the time of this sampling event, a replacement for the dissolved oxygen (DO) probe was not available, so DO was not measured. The YSI meter was calibrated prior to field use. Any observed, unusual characteristics (e.g., relating to the presence of gas bubbles, odor, coloration, or clarity) of the water samples were also noted. Field notes and recorded logbook data are shown in Appendix G.
During sampling, all total metals and sulfate samples were collected directly from the well spigot into pre-labeled sample containers. Dissolved metals samples were filtered in the field using a 0.45-micrometer (µm) filter and a peristaltic pump. All filters and tubing (used to filter for dissolved metals) were dedicated to a specific well and then disposed of after a single use; nevertheless, prior to each sample collection, filters and tubing were purged with at least 3 tube-lengths of sample water. It was not necessary to preserve samples collected for metals analyses with acid in the field because all samples were scheduled to reach the Oklahoma State Environmental Laboratory Services (SELS). Sample containers were stored and delivered to SELS on ice to meet the requirements of EPA Method 375.4. Samples were analyzed by SELS using EPA Method 200.7 for dissolved & total Fe and Zn, EPA Method 200.8 for dissolved & total Pb, As and Cd, and EPA Method 375.4 for SO4.
The O-3 Inspection Form (Appendix B) was used to assess and document the integrity of the dike, channel, and mineshaft seal on-site (Figure 2).

3. Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Duplicate samples were used to evaluate the precision of the laboratory performance and sampling method. Duplicate samples were collected for all analytes at well P7 on October 15, 2020. The duplicate samples were pre-labeled with unique IDs that did not reveal that they were duplicates. The specific well associated with each duplicate sample was recorded in the field logbook. As defined in the QAPP, for each analyte, the relative percent difference (RPD) between the two reported results of the sample and its duplicate were calculated and compared to the required laboratory precision of +/- 30% difference. For the October 15, 2020 sampling event, RPDs for all analytes from all samples did not exceed +/- 30% difference, so no QA/QC contingencies were triggered.
Clean sample containers and analytical grade deionized (DI) water were supplied by SELS prior to the sampling event. Dedicated sampling equipment (filter and hose) was used at each well to avoid cross contamination between wells. A field blank for total metals was collected at well C5 at 9AM.
4. Results and Discussion
The EPA has established primary maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for both Pb and Cd. Results of the October 2020 sampling events showed no detections of Pb or Cd in any of the three wells.
This project’s indicator parameters (Fe, SO4, and Zn) have unregulated SMCLs, tolerance limits, and background levels assigned to help interpret the analytical data results reported by SELS. These laboratory results are shown in Table 1 for all three indicator parameters. Only P7 results contained exceedances of Tolerance Limits, for which only one analyte, sulfate, was exceeded. The other two wells, Q4 and C5, displayed no exceedances of indicator parameters other than a total Fe Background Levels exceedance at C5. The graphs in Figures 3 A&B show the recent and historical exceedances of indicator parameters at well P7. No graph for zinc at P7 is presented; this is because groundwater sampling of zinc at well P7 has typically yielded results with non-detect concentrations.
The relative percent difference between the primary samples and their duplicates was less than 18% for all analytes. For purposes of calculating RPD, data reported as being between zero and the reporting limit was assigned a numerical value equal to the reporting limit, itself (e.g., “<20 ppb” was interpreted to be exactly 20 ppb). This was done to minimize the chance of estimated values needlessly triggering QA/QC contingencies. Field blank results were below detection limits for all analytes.

*Bold text indicates an exceedance of the corresponding Tolerance Limit. Underlined text indicates an exceedance ofthe corresponding Secondary MCL.
The following evaluation criteria are used in evaluating the groundwater data obtained from the
monitoring activities:
• A well producing water with concentrations more than the Tolerance Limits for all three
indicator parameters indicates the Roubidoux Aquifer is impacted by acid mine water
locally near the well site
• A well producing water with concentrations more than the Background Levels for all three
indicator parameters and above the Tolerance Limits for two of the indicator parameters
indicates the Roubidoux Aquifer is probably impacted by AMW locally near the well site
• A well producing water with concentrations more than the Background Levels for two of
the three indicator parameters and above the Tolerance Limits for one of the indicator
parameters indicates the Roubidoux Aquifer is possibly impacted by AMW locally near
the well site.
The above evaluation criteria do not directly address whether contaminants with primary MCLs,
such as Pb and Cd, are present in each wells’ groundwater, but rather use indicator parameters to
determine if the Roubidoux Aquifer is likely being contaminated by Boone Aquifer groundwater.

5. Conclusions
Roubidoux Groundwater
Based on the evaluation criteria for indicator parameters presented in the previous section, wells
Q4 and C5 are considered not impacted. Well P7 exceeds two Background Levels (Total Iron and
Sulfates) and exceeds one Tolerance Limit (Sulfates); it is considered possibly impacted.
Due to the designation of wells Q4 and C5 as not impacted, no further action is necessary at these
wells until the next O&M sampling event. Well P7 sulfate results have historically exceeded
tolerance levels, as shown in Figure 3A, but have been decreasing over the years since the highest
recorded value in 2012. This suggests that there is not currently a concerning trend at well P7 and
is reinforced by the recent October 2020 sampling event that yielded no Tolerance Level
exceedances of the other two indicator parameters, iron (Figure 3B) and zinc.
Diversion Dike
The dike is in good condition and there is no evidence of erosion, settlement, or sloughing. The
only potential lack of integrity on the dike was an animal burrow approximately 1–2 feet in
diameter (Photo #2 in Appendix D). DEQ personnel filled this burrow with dirt on October 15,
2020. The existence of a small beaver dams (Photos #3, 4, 5 in Appendix D) may not significantly
impede flow during high-flow events, but is likely to impede flow during times of base flow or
low flow. Water levels appeared lower at the time of inspection compared to the previous year’s
inspection. Flow from the watershed to the north of the dike is being conveyed through the
constructed channel that diverts Lytle Creek into an upper reach of Tar Creek.
Overall, O-3 is functioning as designed, though the benefit of this surface water diversion has only
been partially effective. The original intent of O-3 was to divert surface water away from the area,
and diking projects in Kansas were expected to change the Douthat O-3 area from a location of
groundwater upwelling to a location of groundwater inflow, which could generate undesired
AMW. Unfortunately, the area remains a point of discharge of AMW into Tar Creek, but the
promotion of drainage in the area provided by O-3 is assumed to help reduce short-term rises in
mine water levels in response to high-flow precipitation events (DEQ, 2015).

6. Recommendations
DEQ recommends continued annual monitoring of all chemicals of concern, Pb, Cd, Fe, Zn, and
SO4 at wells Q4, P7 and C5.
In addition to groundwater sampling, the Douthat O-3 inspection should continue annually. The
dike should be mowed if trees begin to grow on the dike or if vegetation growth becomes excessive
and hinders O-3 inspections.
Removal of all beaver dams is recommended. Road maintenance and other wildlife intrusion
should continue to be monitored.

VII. OVERALL OBSERVATIONS
A. Implementation of the Remedy
Describe issues and observations relating to whether the remedy is effective and functioning as designed. Begin with a brief statement of what the remedy is to accomplish (i.e., to contain contaminant plume, minimize infiltration and gas emission, etc.).
O-3 remedy was designed to reduce acid mine water produced via recharge ofunderground mines. Because O-3 area remains a point of discharge rather than inflowfor groundwater, the benefit of the diversion dike is limited to high-flow precipitationevents.
B. Adequacy of O&M
Describe issues and observations related to the implementation and scope of O&M procedures. Discuss their relationship to the current and long-term protectiveness of the remedy.
Should the area south of the dike become a point of groundwater inflow, the current O&M procedures should ensure the integrity of the dike. The dike should be mowed if trees begin to grow on the dike or if vegetation growth becomes excessive and hinders inspections.
C. Early Indicators of Potential Remedy Problems
Describe issues and observations such as unexpected changes in the cost or scope of O&M or a high frequency of unscheduled repairs that suggest that the protectiveness of the remedy may be compromised in the future.
N/A
D. Opportunities for Optimization
Describe possible opportunities for optimization in monitoring tasks or the operation of the remedy.
