C. Elliott Landfill Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Mr. Mikolajczyk: As requested, we are pleased to submit this proposal for sampling and well re- development services. The project will consist of a down -hole camera survey, vigorous pumping to redevelop MW-11, and re-sampling pling and analysis of dissolved chromium The chromium concentration in MW-11 exceeded the background value in the February 2007 sampling event. TCEQ was notified of the exceedance by letter of March 20 and was informed of the intent to conduct verification re- sampling of the well. This was completed April 4, 2007. The results received April 17 showed a lower chromium concentration but one that still marginally exceeded the background concentration. The results are summarized below. MW-11 Chromium Background 0.020 Detection Monitoring Result, Feb 2007 0.159 Re-sampling Result, April 2007 0.0263 The trend of chromium concentration is downward, but the result still exceeds background. MW-11 has experienced similar excursions in the recent past for both chromium and selenium. In each previous instance, the concentration has fallen back below the background concentration suggesting natural variation as a cause. 81418 / WAC7P101 Copyright 2007 Kleinfelder KLEIN FE L D E R 2000 S. 151h Street, Waco, Texas 76706 (254) 754 -0369 (254) 754 -0478 fax Page 1 of 4 May 1, 2007 Exhibit A Page 1 of The recent frequency of exceedances suggests that something unusual may be occurring in Ill -11. We have observed that the drawdown during sampling of this well is higher now than in 2001 when low-flow, r micro- purge, sampling was initiated. This may indicate clogging of the well screen and filter, which can arise from several sources including siltation, mineral precipitation, or io-fouling. Some of these can also affect water chemistry. The rules do not prevent conducting an additional verification sampling event as long as it is completed within the prescribed regulatory timeframe of 60 days from the date of determination. This scope is presented below. SCOPE OF BASIC SERVICES 1. Kleinfelder will conduct a camera survey of MW -11 in order to examine the condition of the well screen. Bio-fouling and mineralization of the well screen are often readily apparent. 2. Kleinfelder will attempt to redevelop 11W -11 by pumping in order to induce better flow through the filter and screen, and help ensure entry of fresh, formation water during low flow s mpl.ing. 3. Kleinfelder will resample MW -11 using standard protocols and have the sample analyzed for dissolved chromium. 4. Kleinfelder will prepare a notification letter to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on behalf of the City of Corpus Christi.
