Project 1.1.1 NAVFAC Five Year Reviews
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) is the Prime Contractor for this four year IDIQ contract. Work under the contract has consisted of long-term operations and long-term monitoring, CERCLA 5-year reviews, multimedia sampling and analysis, wetland monitoring, Human Health Risk Assessments (HHRA) and Ecological Risk Assessment, (ERA), biological assessments, Engineering Evaluations/Cost Analysis (Execs), development and maintenance of administrative records, remedial action oversight and post-closure inspections at various Navy and USMC sites within Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Naval Support Facility, Dahlgren, VA: JMWA prepared a CERCLA 5-Year Review Report for Installation Restoration sites that contain hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. JMWA prepared Landfill Operation and Maintenance Manuals for three CERCLA closed landfills. Two of the sites were used for disposing of metal ordnance items, scrap metal, batteries and other debris and are sited near the edge of a marsh. Remedies for all three landfills include caps, institutional controls, LTM plans, and undergo a combination of groundwater, sediment and surface water monitoring. JMWA prepared an EE/CA and Verification Sampling and Analysis Plan for two sites. We also provided oversight during on-site excavation and removal activities, a Post Remedial Action Report, and a Decision Document. We also prepared a facility-wide Site Management Plan, and updated the administrative record. JMWA developed the Annual Wetland Monitoring Status Reports and implemented the Wetland Mitigation Monitoring Plan for 6 sites including landfills, terminal range, burn area, and pesticide rinse area. Sampling included fish, groundwater, surface water, and sediment sampling as well as methane gas monitoring. Sampling was conducted for Voss, Socks, pesticides, PCBs, metals, cyanide, explosives, and per chlorate. JMWA prepared a Fish Sampling Report, Surface Water/Sediment Sampling Reports, Groundwater Monitoring Reports, Methane Sampling technical Memos and the Master Work Plan for Long-Term Monitoring.

Naval Warfare Center, Annapolis, MD: We completed CERCLA 5-year reviews on two sites at the former Naval Surface Warfare Center Detachment in Annapolis, MD. The task includes inspecting the site and critically evaluating the effectiveness of the Institutional Controls in protecting human health and the environment. This included review of the property title to determine if proprietary controls have been modified or terminated, review the local government's zoning regulations for the site, and review aerial photos to determine inappropriate land or resource use.

Former Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, MD: Bainbridge is a BRAC site which has been transferred to a developer. To satisfy Record of Decision (ROD) requirements, JMWA performed CERCLA 5-year reviews of an old base landfill and a fire training area and prepared the Five Year Review Report. We performed a landfill gas investigation of the Old Base Landfill to determine toxic levels of explosive gases at the landfill. We prepared a Gas Sampling Work Plan, performed gas vent sampling, and prepared a Gas Sampling Investigation Report. Results indicated that methane was migrating out of the landfill but was moving beyond the site boundary. Additionally, we performed surface water and sediment sampling and reporting.

Navy Support Facility, Thurmont, MD: JMWA performed groundwater and soil sampling at the Site 1 Landfill and Small Arms Range. This work included preparation of Work Plans (Sampling, QA/QC and Health & Safety Plans), groundwater sampling, surface and subsurface soil sampling, data validation as per USEPA guidelines, landfill gas sampling, development of a baseline Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) and Screening-Level Ecological Risk Assessment (SRERA), preparation of an EE/CA and development of a Summary Report of Findings.

Former Naval Surface Warfare Center, White Oak, MD: JMWA is preparing a CERCLA 5-Year Review Report for seven Installation Restoration sites at this transferred BRAC facility that contain hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. Activities included an inspection of each site, a review of monitoring data since implementation of the remedial action, and providing recommendations to ensure that the remedy will continue to be protective of human health and the environment. JMWA also performs monthly operation and maintenance (O&M) services for the Site 46 groundwater extraction and treatment systems. Services include monthly inspections of the treatment systems including pumps, filters, and air strippers to ensure that they are operating as designed; trouble shooting and repair of the systems as necessary; and generating trip reports. We are also preparing a Remedial Action Completion Report to document the successful completion of remedial actions at Site 11.

USMC Base, Quantico, VA: JMWA provided a geophysical (electromagnetic and ground penetrating radar) investigation of Charlie Demolition Area Open Burning/Open Detonation Site. The purpose of the investigation was to identify disturbed areas and debris from previous activities at the demolition area. We developed Work and Health and Safety Plans; performed the investigation and developed the Final Report of Findings.

Naval Support Facility, Indian Head, MD: JMWA performed CERCLA five-year reviews for the Town Gut and Olsen Road Landfills to evaluate the implementation and performance of the selected remedies. JMWA implemented a long-term monitoring plan for Site 12-Town Gut Landfill which comprises 4 acres of undeveloped land. We developed Work and Health and Safety Plans and implemented surface water and groundwater sampling on a quarterly basis for Trichloroethene, cis-1,2-Dichloroethene, vinyl chloride, arsenic, iron, lead and manganese. All data was subjected to data validation as per EPA guidelines. We have prepared a Letter Report after each quarter's sampling and at the end of the first four quarters of sampling we will prepare an End-of-Sequence Report, which will include a trend analysis of the field data to determine the frequency of subsequent sampling. JMWA will perform two post-closure inspections and complete the site inspection checklists. We verified the condition of the landfill cap, drainage irregularities, signs of erosion, condition of vegetation and condition of the monitoring wells. JMWA developed a Letter Report for each quarterly sampling event and will perform post-closure inspections twice a year to evaluate the condition of the soil cover and vegetation. The first monitoring event indicated the presence of arsenic, iron, and manganese in the groundwater.

Project 1.1.2 Red River Army Depot Former Bldg. 265, Pesticide Pit Sampling and Remediation Project and Bldg 172 Release Investigation Report
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) provided Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) support for two restoration projects at the Red River Army Depot (RRAD). The Bldg. 265 "Pesticide Pit" project involved pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), arsenic, and other potential chemicals of concern in soils in an area historically utilized to store, blend, and prepare pesticides for use at RRAD. Several adjacent and downstream storm water drainage ditches were also found contaminated. For this project, JMWA was contracted by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide regulatory compliance services in response to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) directives. JMWA reviewed historical sampling and excavation events at the site, compiled summaries of existing documentation, prepared a site-specific Health and Safety Plan and Work Plan, and coordinated verification sampling at the site. An Affected Property Assessment Report (APAR) and the Response Action Completion Report (RACR) was required by TCEQ that was prepared by JMWA for final closure of this site. JMWA employees conducted verification sampling to comply with TCEQ directives and to identify remaining areas of contamination, if any.

Another project being performed by JMWA at RRAD concerns suspected petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil resulting from maintenance activities and petroleum product transfers in a railroad yard at Bldg. 172. JMWA was contracted by the USACE to complete a Release Investigation Report (RIR) and a Tier I Exclusion Criteria Checklist for submittal to TCEQ toward accomplishing site closure. JMWA reviewed historical sampling and analysis reports completed for the site and compiled summaries of existing documentation. Six groundwater monitoring wells were investigated for the presence of petroleum products.

Project 1.1.3 Monitoring, Evaluation, and Closure of the Fort Des Moines, IA, and Irwin, PA Sites
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) conducted groundwater monitoring, reporting and monitoring well abandonment at the Charles E. Kelly Support Facility - Irwin Launch Annex Site-36 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. JMWA also performed historical document review, administrative record consolidation, groundwater monitoring, preparation of closure documents, and abandonment of monitoring wells at Fort Des Moines in Des Moines, Iowa.

JMWA performed quarterly sampling for eight consecutive quarters at the Charles E. Kelly Support Facility. Deliverables to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality (PADEP) included quarterly sampling and trend analysis reports. The site was successfully closed in accordance with all state and Federal laws. In Des Moines, JMWA conducted groundwater sampling, remedial action evaluation, and developed a final closure report to petition the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IADNR) for site closure.

JMWA prepared work plans, detailed quarterly monitoring, trend analysis, and closure reports to support fieldwork initiatives. We developed detailed project schedules to effectively manage a review of the historical record, compilation of the administrative record, and establishment and integration of those findings with ongoing site characterization initiatives.

JMWA collected groundwater samples and reviewed analytical data for both sites. In Pennsylvania, JMWA analyzed the samples for carbon tetrachloride. In Des Moines, the chemicals of concern were pesticides and volatiles. To ensure adequate QA/QC for this project, JMWA used a Corps of Engineers certified lab and collected field quality control samples including duplicate and blank samples.

At both sites identified for this project, JMWA stored liquid Investigative Derived Waste (IDW) from groundwater purge and sampling efforts. IDW was disposed of subsequent to analytical analysis and in accordance with state and Federal regulations. JMWA utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS-ArcView) to create several maps to include a well location, prior soil excavation areas, and property ownership for the area. Additional maps were generated to delineate contaminant plumes for chemicals of concern. Multiple groundwater potentiometric contour diagrams were also generated for corresponding time periods.

As part of this contract, JMWA was originally tasked to remove and close 23 monitoring wells at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. JMWA's preliminary investigation at Fort Des Moines indicated that removal and closure of these monitoring wells was premature due to an absence of state regulatory approval. Further investigation revealed that the active project site had both BRAC work and FUDS work performed on various portions. As a result JMWA suggested establishing the administrative record by interviewing personnel and performing site visits at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Omaha District, Fort McCoy, Army Environmental Center, and HQ FORSCOM. JMWA developed a comprehensive data analysis and assessment of all work completed at the site to date to identified existing data gaps. JMWA produced a conceptual Geographic Information System (GIS) model to spatially represent the data and used the model to present findings to HQ FORSCOM and regulatory officials.

Project 1.5.1 Environmental Planning Support for Housing Privatization, Phase II (HPPII), Hickam and Bellows AFBs
A large real estate parcel evaluated during the EBS did not meet the Air Force Instruction requirements for transfer due to the presence of a plume of contaminated groundwater. J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) worked with Air Force representatives to interpret CERCLA and DOD guidance to develop additional options, based on risk assessment studies, for parcel transfer. A methodical process was followed for this EBS in which available information was analyzed and conclusions were drawn about the condition of the subject property areas. Property records were first reviewed to identify historic land and facility uses that may be primary indicators of potential contamination. Studies and field investigations based on CERCLA and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, et seq.) requirements were then reviewed to identify areas where the presence (or absence) of contamination has been confirmed. Testing of lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos-containing material (ACM) was conducted inside property homes to identify any potential environmental concerns. As well, based on interviews and process of discovery, further random testing of lead identification was conducted on the soils surrounding homes in the Fort Kamehameha area. Installation personnel were interviewed and the property and facilities were physically inspected to identify evidence of stressed vegetation, stained soils, unusual odors, or other issues that might indicate the presence of contamination.

This environmental baseline survey (EBS) was prepared to document the environmental condition of real properties resulting from the storage, use, release, and disposal of hazardous substances and petroleum products and their derivatives.

Project 1.7.2 Pest Management Program Support for Army National Guard, Various locations nationwide
J.M. Waller Associates Inc. (JMWA) provides comprehensive pest management program support for the Army National Guard Readiness Center (ARNGRC). ARNGRC is responsible for budgetary support and program oversight for pest management programs for all 54 States and territories, as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and District of Columbia, collectively referred to here as the "States." Our team of JMWA pest management professionals, accompanied by JMWA environmental specialists is presently supporting the states nationwide by conducting technical reviews of Installation Pest Management Plans (IPMP) for 17 states. Upon completion of these reviews, each IPMP will conform to all Federal, State and local standards, and specifically to Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4150.7 and Army Regulation (AR) 200-5. During the review process, the State Pest Management Coordinator (SPMC) within the applicable state, and the ARNG Pest Management Program Manager (PMPM) provide comments and approve the final reviewed document. Each IPMP addresses impacts resulting from the proposed actions at every location within the state and will have an associated Environmental Assessment (EA) completed in compliance with formats and procedures outlined within the ARNG "NEPA Manual" and AR 200-2. Upon completion of the review and after necessary changes have been made, JMWA will certify the IPMP as being in compliance with all applicable standards.

Project 1.7.3 Programmatic Environmental Assessments for USDA
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) assisted the United Stated Department of Agriculture in the accomplishment of three Programmatic Environmental Assessments (PEA). The proposed approach and methodology for the development of the Programmatic Environmental Assessments (PEA) was in support of implementation of the state Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements, utilize tiering from existing Environmental Impact Assessments (EIS) and region-specific PEAs. As provided in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 1508.28, tiering allows a broad-based EIS or EA document to be used for subsequent and related environmental assessments of proposed actions. The document that JMWA tiered off of was a Programmatic EIS (PEIS) prepared and published by the USDA/FSA for the reauthorization of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) analyzes the impacts associated with the provisions defined in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill). It also evaluates the impacts of alternatives to that Proposed Action. The subject of the PEAs that JMWA developed involved the implementation of the CRP at the state and regional level and addressed potential impacts within the context of these specific geographic and geo-political areas. The three PEA's developed were for the implementation of CREPs for the states of Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

Project 1.7.4 Programmatic Environmental Assessments, Hickam AFB
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) provided comprehensive environmental, facility and planning support to Headquarters Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and Hickam AFB, Hawaii. JMWA continues to provide focused environmental planning support through the development of a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) with tiered Supplemental Environmenal Assessments (SEA) in lieu of developing stand-alone EAs for each project. The PEA-SEA method was implemented and estimates are that it would save over $1M at Hickam AFB over the next five years, and the SEAs will not only be less expensive to accomplish, the time to accomplish the SEA and obtain IICEP coordination will be greatly reduced.

The initial Programmatic Environmental Assessment was accomplished to includes analysis and development of the draft Description of Proposed Actions and Alternatives (DOPAA) that addressed general construction activities; assessment of Hickam AFB as a whole for; potential impact on biological systems including non-threatened species, and threatened and endangered (T&E) species such as the black-necked stilt, green sea turtle, Hawaiian hoary bat, Hawaiian coot, Hawaiian duck, and short-eared owl; potential disturbance or impact on cultural resources (much of the installation is an historic district, and the Fort Kamehameha area, has been nominated for an historic district) including coordination with the State Historical Preservation Office; the potential impact on sandflats and wetlands; the potential impact on archaeological sites (fishpond complexes and pre- and post-contact period mortuary sites); the potential for Bird-Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH); transportation and traffic analysis; future land use analysis; analysis of increased air emissions, impact on air quality, and air permitting requirements; impacts on safety, airfield obstructions, airspace management, geological resources, water resources, hazardous materials/waste; impacts on the socio-economic structure and potential issues associated with environmental justice

JMWA has developed more than 13 Supplement Environmental Assessments, (SEA) which tier from the PEA, for facility construction projects at various locations throughout the installation. For these 13 SEAs, the estimated cost savings was approximately $175,000. SEAs for various constructions activities have been for projects such as the Officers Club Expansion, Military Working Dog Kennels, Visiting Officer Quarters Construction, Vetenerary Clinic Construction, and several other projects.

The time savings of the SEA approach was demonstrated when Hickam AFB contracted with JMWA to complete a late-starter MFH Privatization EA. The EA was required to be completed in four weeks to meet privatization programmatic requirements. The final document was completed by JMWA ahead of schedule because of the use of the PEA-SEA concept.

Project 1.7.5 Programmatic and BRAC Environmental Assessments, FE Warren AFB, WY
Programmatic EA. JMWA prepared the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for F.E. Warren AFB (FEWAFB) in accordance with FEWAFB General Plan (2004) to move forward with numerous renovation, construction, and demolition projects that have been programmed for future fiscal years in order to support and sustain its mission. The PEA addressed environmental impacts associated with these projects and established a baseline for future environmental assessments to tier from and was in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ), and US Air Force Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) regulations.

BRAC EA. JMWA along with another environmental consulting company assisted in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendation to realign certain actions to FEWAFB. The EA analyzed for impacts associated with the construction of a Wyoming Army National Guard (WYARNG) Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) with an Administrative Support Facility and the construction of a Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ) with Readiness Center and Field Maintenance Shop and was in accordance with NEPA, CEQ, EIAP, and BRAC NEPA regulations.

Project 1.9.1 Historic Military Family Housing Condition Assessment, Randolph AFB
J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA), along with its 4P A-E partner 3D/I, completed a condition assessment of 342 military family housing (MFH) units at Randolph Air Force Base (AFB), Texas. The assessment included MFH units in the Randolph AFB Historic District, including general officers quarter, senior officers' quarters, field grade officers' quarters, and senior and junior non-commissioned officers' quarters. The purpose of the assessment was to ascertain the structural condition of the facilities, including doors, windows, roofs, and foundations as well as to determine the condition of the heating and air conditioning, electrical, and plumbing systems within the buildings. In addition to conducting a physical condition assessment, JMWA and 3D/I developed cost estimates for correcting the identified facility deficiencies. This was accomplished using an MS Access computer database program in conjunction with RS Means© cost data. The results of the assessment would determine the scope of a major contract to renovate the MFH family housing units to bring them up to current Air Force MFH and general officers quarters standards.

Since these MFH units were originally constructed in the early 1930s and are an important element in the Randolph AFB Historic District, the external features and certain internal features of the buildings needed to be retained. At various times since the 1930s, some of the units had undergone renovation and some have not been renovated in over 40 years. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Base Civil Engineer required several of the units to be rehabilitated back to their original historical characteristics. The assessment recommended which of the units could be candidates for historic rehabilitation.

JMWA and 3D/I formed two assessment teams. Each team included one structural and one mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) assessor. Working in conjunction with and physically located in the Base Housing Management Office, 3D/I-JMWA professionals contacted every housing occupant and established a date and time for a one-hour assessment visit. With outstanding cooperation from the housing occupants and the Military Family Housing office, the first 198 of the MFH units were scheduled and assessed ahead of schedule. The remaining 144 MFH units are currently being assessed.
