The objective of the RI/FS is to determine the nature and extent of contamination related to activities of the WSP. The property lines of the WSP serve as the boundary of the investigation study area as illustrated in Work Plan Figure 1. This area includes the WSP facilities in the eastern half of the property and the WSP Landfill to the northwest of the facilities. The facilities include the buildings and improvements both inside and outside of secure areas. If impacted areas are encountered outside of the property lines, they may also be included in the investigation. Previous investigations have confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the groundwater at the Sudbury Road Municipal Landfill (Sudbury Landfill) and in monitoring wells upgradient of the Sudbury landfill. These monitoring wells are considered to be downgradient of the WSP. In several monitoring wells at the Sudbury Landfill and the WSP Landfill, the concentration of tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have exceeded the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup levels for groundwater. The objective of this Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) is to characterize the nature and extent of contamination that can be reasonably identified in areas of concern (AOCs) or potential AOCs at the WSP site, and to determine if contaminants may be migrating onto WSP property from upgradient sources. Although the AOC initially identified was the WSP Landfill, this SAP includes other AOCs within the WSP that may be sources of contamination that may be migrating in groundwater beneath the WSP Landfill or may be migrating off site through other pathways. These additional AOCs were identified based on a review of available information about past investigations and activities that were known to have involved hazardous materials. This SAP describes the proposed investigation activities to characterize the nature and extent (vertical and horizontal) of soil and groundwater contamination in AOCs at the site, and to define the characteristics of soils and groundwater to support a future feasibility study. Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 1-1 February 24, 2010 1. Introduction The DOC is the Potentially Liable Party (PLP) responsible for completing the RI/FS at WSP. DOC retained Parametrix, Inc. to implement the RI/FS, including updating this RI/FS SAP with specific information regarding AOCs, supporting historical information, investigation rationale, media to be sampled, sampling methods, sample types, sampling locations, chemicals to be analyzed, and the phasing and scheduling of the RI/FS. This Final RI/FS SAP retains the structure and much of the content of the Work Plan prepared by Ecology and Environment, Inc., incorporates updates and revisions from a supplemental data search completed by Parametrix, and has been approved by Ecology subsequent to detailed discussions between Ecology and DOC. 1.1 Site Description The WSP is an active correctional facility located at 1313 North 13th Avenue, Walla Walla, Washington (Work Plan Figures 1 and 2). The facility itself occupies a 560-acre site, and the adjacent WSP Landfill occupies an area of approximately 7.7 acres. Current and past operations at the WSP include a license plate factory, sign shop, furniture refinishing facility, cannery, and dairy. Institution support activities include food service, janitorial, and various operation and maintenance (O & M) functions. Prison O & M functions include a photo processing shop (no longer in use); X-ray, dental and medical laboratories; laundry and dry cleaning operations; motor pool; fix it shop; and grounds maintenance facility. The WSP Landfill (also referred to as the Construction Demolition Landfill) is located in a former topographic depression northwest of the WSP facility. The landfill was the principal disposal site for DOC construction and demolition debris from the early 1970s until 1987. During its operation, the WSP Landfill received construction, demolition, yard, and farm waste. The landfill is divided into an east cell (3.4 acres) and a west cell (4.3 acres), separated by a north-south access road (Ecology 2000). Southwest of the WSP facility is a pond and wetlands area. A portion of the WSP facility surface water runoff and storm water drainage is directed to this pond and wetlands area. 1.2 Regulatory Framework Regulations govern both the RI/FS and continuing operations at the WSP. The RI/FS investigation and remedial activities will be conducted in accordance with the MTCA, including the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 70.105D and the MTCA Cleanup Regulation, Chapter 173-340. Together, these regulations will also guide determination of final contaminant cleanup levels following further site investigation. 1.3 Previous Investigations Previous investigations conducted in the vicinity of the WSP and Sudbury Landfills are briefly summarized below. For further details refer to the RI/FS Work Plan. February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 1-2 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 1. Introduction Surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, and groundwater samples have been collected and analyzed from locations in and around the WSP during previous investigations conducted over 20 years. Groundwater samples have been collected beneath and upgradient of the Sudbury Landfill at locations shown in Work Plan Figure 1. The results of previous investigations indicate the following: In 1984, General Electric Company (GE) prepared a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) Regulatory Compliance Report. GE conducted a site-wide search of all PCB and non-PCB facilities and inspected all PCB transformers on site. A total of 92 transformers plus oil-filled circuit breakers and oil-filled disconnects on site were inspected. Two transformers filled with insulating oil (potentially containing PCBs) were found to be leaking (GE 1984). In March 1992, Ecology conducted an Initial Investigation at the Washington State Penitentiary due to anonymous complaints of chemical dumping on-site. As part of the Initial Investigation, multiple letters were sent to former employees of WSP, the County Health department, and the contractor used during the closure of the WSP Landfill in order to gather further information. All respondents of this letter claimed to have no knowledge of any inappropriate dumping at the WSP Landfill (Ecology 1992). Because no evidence was found to support these claims, the Initial Investigation determined that the site needed to be carried forward in the MTCA process. A Site Hazard Assessment was conducted by SAIC in April 1995 in order to gather information on past and present waste management activities and other site specific environmental data. This assessment was conducted in order to score the site following the Washington Ranking Method (WARM) Scoring Manual guidelines. The overall ranking given to the WSP Landfill after the field site hazard assessment was “3” (Ecology 1995). In 1995, Parametrix, Inc., performed a Site Assessment concluding that the WSP Landfill did not present an imminent threat to human health or the environment that required immediate remedial actions. However, the assessment also concluded that there was insufficient information to rule out or confirm the possibility that contaminants might have been buried in the WSP Landfill (Parametrix 1995). In 1996, DOC decommissioned and removed seven USTs from the WSP facility. Total petroleum hydrocarbons in the diesel range (TPH-D) were detected in some of the UST excavations, but none of the results exceeded current MTCA soil cleanup levels. Additional soil was excavated at the one site where levels exceeded the cleanup levels in effect at the time and the final sample results were non-detect (DOC 1996). In 1998, HWA Geosciences, Inc., (HWA) performed a hydrogeologic evaluation and evaluated surface water and ground water quality of the closed WSP Landfill. HWA installed four groundwater monitoring wells. Groundwater samples were collected from the Sudbury Landfill and the newly installed monitoring wells. In some samples the following analytes exceeded MTCA Method A cleanup levels Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 1-3 February 24, 2010 1. Introduction or Washington State Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs): total dissolved solids, iron, manganese, nitrate-nitrogen, TCE, and PCE. Arsenic, benzene, chloroform, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, and toluene were also detected in the samples (HWA 1998). In 1999, Ecology completed a Contaminant Source Identification/Assessment (CSI/A) study for potential sources of VOCs detected in the upgradient groundwater monitoring wells at Sudbury Landfill. The CSI/A was conducted under a Site Assessment Cooperative Agreement between Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The CSI/A study included a review of Sudbury Landfill groundwater monitoring data for 1991 through 1998. Available groundwater data indicated that groundwater quality in the shallow aquifer was being impacted by upgradient sources. Recommendations made at the conclusion of this study included the execution of a Preliminary Assessment (PA) that focused on the WSP Landfill while also evaluating past and present prison institutional operations (Ecology 1999). In 2000, Ecology released a PA report. PA activities consisted of research and file review. One of the conclusions from the PA stated that the shallow sedimentary aquifer had been impacted by VOCs and the WSP Landfill has been assessed as a high potential source of the contamination (Ecology 2000). 1.4 Contaminants of Concern Contaminants of Concern (COCs) are chemicals (analytes) that may pose a threat to human health or the environment. For this SAP, an analyte was classified as a Confirmed Contaminant of Concern (CCOC) if a previous quantitative analysis detected it in soil or groundwater. Applicable cleanup levels were not used as minimum standards to establish CCOCs, because the site has not been adequately characterized. If the site is not adequately characterized, then detections in some locations do not rule out the possibility of an exceedance in other locations. An analyte was classified as a Suspected Contaminant of Concern (SCOC) if it is known or suspected to have been used or produced, and a reasonable possibility of a spill or release to the environment could not be ruled out. Previous investigations have confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater. The concentrations of PCE and TCE in some samples were above the MTCA Method A cleanup levels for groundwater. CCOCs that were detected, but were below cleanup applicable levels, are arsenic, benzene, chloroform, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, and toluene.. Table 1-1 lists the CCOCs and the MTCA Method A groundwater cleanup levels (WAC 173-340-900). When a MTCA groundwater cleanup level does not exist for a given contaminant, the Washington State Water Quality Standards Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for groundwater is shown (WAC 173200-040). SCOCs include TPH as diesel (TPH-D); semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), which include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Confirmed and suspected COCs are summarized in the tables below.

In addition, toluene was detected in seasonal surface water samples collected near the landfill. Due to the suspicion of buried drums other SCOCs are diesel and SVOCs. AOC #2: Former dry cleaning facility – Two dry cleaning locations existed formerly at the WSP. Dry cleaning was originally done in a building (F20) that has since been demolished, and the second location was in building C30. According to DOC the dry cleaning solvent used was perchloroethene (PCE, a chlorinated solvent). Stoddard solvent is another common solvent used in the dry cleaning process, but its use at WSP is not confirmed and is not considered a significant environmental threat. AOC #3: Former motor pool – Typical operations for such a facility include fueling, parts degreasing and hazardous material storage. These are possible sources of VOCs, SVOCs, TPH, and Metals. February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 1-6 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 1. Introduction AOC #4: Former UST Areas – Although most of the UST excavations had confirmation samples below the MTCA Method A cleanup levels in effect at the time, no data was found regarding two UST areas. At former UST #11 it is unclear if any petroleum contamination extends beneath the adjacent building foundation to the south. There is also an additional former UST location near the former motor pool, and no data was available for confirmation samples. Additional information obtained by DOC in September 2009, and further data evaluation by Ecology, resulted in the conclusion that sufficient soil sampling was done during removal of the former USTs, and that additional soil sampling will not be required. However, testing of groundwater in future monitoring wells drilled at WSP will include petroleum hydrocarbons. AOC #5: Former auto body shop and furniture refurbishing – Possible sources of TPH, metals, SVOCs, and VOCs. AOC #6: Former Hazardous Waste Accumulation Area – Adjacent to the current power house, this area was used to store unknown quantities of hazardous waste. SCOCs include VOCs, SVOCs, metals, PCBs and TPH. AOC #7: Steam Plant Boiler Ash – Since coal and wood were used until the late 1990s as fuel sources for producing steam at WSP, PAHs are a concern in areas where boiler ash was deposited as fill on the site. Also, to the extent that any PCB oil-filled electrical transformers or equipment was used in these areas, this area may also have been a potential source of PCBs. On the basis of additional clarification provided by DOC in September 2009 regarding historical power use, steam generation, and associated electrical components at the site, Ecology eliminated PCBs as SCOCs for AOC #7. Regarding the boiler ash issue, the greatest potential for exposure to ash is in unpaved areas of WSP where ash may have been used as fill (such as the “yards” associated with the BAR units and the western edge of the WSP facility). AOC #8: Sign shop – Possible source of VOCs and SVOCs. AOC #9: Metal plant #1 – This area is suspected due to the former use of paint and solvents here. Chemicals of concern for this AOC are VOCs and metals. AOC #10: PCB storage area– Additional information obtained by DOC in September 2009 documented the location of the former cement block building where transformers were stored, which had a concrete floor and was demolished in the mid 1990s. The area of this former building was subsequently graded and is now an open grasscovered area. A facility wide changeout and cleanup of PCB-containing transformers was completed at WSP in 1986. Any potential leakage of older transformers in the former storage building would have been contained within the building. After considering this information, Ecology concluded that AOC 10 would be eliminated from further investigation.

Introduction 1.6 Additional Areas of Interest Some locations in the vicinity of the WSP are not considered potential source locations, but there is a need to assess the current level of contamination, either as an assessment of background levels or as an assessment of impact. The following locations will be evaluated for potential their impacts: February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. Sudbury Landfill monitoring wells Nearby irrigation wells Industrial areas across the street to the east and to the south (see Ecology 1999) 1-8 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 2 Objectives and Design This section discusses the sampling design and approach to meet the overall project objectives and the data quality objectives for the investigation. For technologies where soil, soil gas or groundwater samples are collected, field screening and/or laboratory analyses will be conducted for the COCs that apply for the given AOC. Both field screening and laboratory analytical results will be used to confirm potential source areas, and determine the lateral and vertical extent of COCs. 2.1 Field Data Collection Technologies Below are the kinds of technologies that this SAP utilizes to collect the desired data. This section provides a general description of the technology and its uses, and why it is applicable to the site. Specific details are provided in Section 3.2 on how samples or data are to be collected using these technologies. 2.1.1 Topographical Survey A topographical survey will be conducted to confirm surface flow direction of stormwater runoff into catch basin and other runoff management devices. The survey will be conducted by a licensed land surveyor and based on North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). Survey data from WSP facility files and recent project will be evaluated prior to scoping this task, to avoid duplication of effort. If accessible the elevations of stormwater culverts and pipelines may be measured if flow direction cannot otherwise be determined. It is believed that some stormwater discharges to land to the north, some discharges to a drainage channel that leads to the southern pond, and some likely discharges to the combined sanitary sewer. A better understanding of the stormwater pathways will help to determine the potential transport of COCs. 2.1.2 Geophysical – Survey An EM or Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey will be conducted at the WSP Landfill before any intrusive investigation measures are used, unless field observations indicate that soil gas sampling may help interpret geophysical survey findings. The geophysical survey will be performed on both cells to assess the potential presence of drums or other metal containers buried at the landfill. Whichever geophysical method proves effective during initial testing will be used to survey both landfill cells. EM survey equipment measures ground conductivity through electromagnetic induction. GPR sends Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 2-1 February 24, 2010 2. Objectives and Design a radar signal into the ground and measures the return signal. The results of the geophysical survey could help direct other landfill investigation activities, such as locations of soil gas sample points and test pits. 2.1.3 Direct-Push Soil and Soil Gas Sampling The ability of a truck-mounted direct-push drilling rig to collect soil and soil gas samples beneath the site will be evaluated, based on geologic conditions, sample depths, and equipment capabilities. This decision will be based on geologic conditions encountered during installation of monitoring wells at the WSP site (see Section 2.1.4). The rig forces a narrow diameter probe into the earth to any desired depth, but is limited by the geotechnical constraints of the subsurface. If appropriate, this technology can be used to collect soil and soil gas samples: Soil: Soil samples will be collected at 5-foot depth intervals (starting at ground surface) to a depth of 25 feet, or until refusal depth is reached. Depths may be exceeded if observable contamination is present. One soil sample will be collected from each interval. Soil Gas1: Soil gas samples will be collected at 2-foot depth intervals to a depth of 20 feet or until refusal depth is reached. A gas sampling vacuum pump will be attached to the probe and connected to field sampling equipment that tests for methane, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and volatile organics. The soil gas sample results will be used to identify potential source areas where soil sampling will be required (if methane percent is greater than 25 percent of the lower explosive limit or the volatile organic vapors are above background concentrations). Samples may be sent to a laboratory to confirm field screening results. Groundwater: If feasible a truck-mounted direct-push drilling rig will be used to collect groundwater samples, if groundwater is encountered during soil or soil gas sampling. However, it is not anticipated that groundwater will be found at depths accessible by direct-push technology. When practical, one groundwater sample will be collected from each location. 2.1.4 Monitoring Well Drilling and Soil Sampling A truck-mounted hollow-stem auger (HSA) drilling rig was originally considered to install groundwater monitoring wells at the WSP site. However, based on the depths to groundwater observed in prior test drilling at the site (up to 65 feet), the HSA method would not likely penetrate to the depths required and allow proper completion of monitoring wells at these depths. Therefore, the sonic drilling method will be applied to install monitoring wells at WSP. Sonic drilling advances a hollow casing using sound energy and provides a continuous core of geologic materials penetrated during drilling that is retained inside the drill casing by a plastic sleeve. The extruded geologic material 1 February 24, 2010 An alternative passive soil gas sampling method can be used for this site but would require additional lead time. A passive sampling device would be placed underground for a period of one to two weeks. After retrieval it is sent to the laboratory for analysis, requiring even more lead time. This method can be considered for this site, but would be implemented one month ahead of the activities described herein. 2-2 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 2. Objectives and Design is then available for visual description, soil property testing, and collection of soil samples for chemical analysis. The entire length of the core will be examined for physical description, odor, visual stratification, disposed debris, organic vapors, and any other distinguishing characteristics. Up to five soil samples will be collected at each monitoring well location for chemical analysis with sample materials determined by field observations. Upon reaching the targeted depth below the water table, a monitoring well consisting of a 2-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC screen (10 to 15 feet, to straddle the water table) and riser pipe will be installed in the borehole, and will be designed and completed in compliance with the WAC 173-160 regulations pertaining to resource protection wells. Completed monitoring wells will be developed by the drilling contractor by means of surging and pumping, to remove as many residual fine particles from the well installation process. 2.1.5 Groundwater Sampling Groundwater samples from monitoring wells installed as part of this RI, and from other selected existing wells near WSP (to the extent they are available and practical) will be sampled four times during the RI. The three pre-existing monitoring wells associated with the Sudbury Landfill adjacent to the WSP property boundary (MW-7, MW-9, and MW-10) will be sampled (with permission from the City of Walla Walla). The existing inventory of records of private water wells in the vicinity of the WSP will be evaluated and selectively field checked to identify which wells to sample. Criteria for selection include: Confirmation of total well depth, from a well log or a field measurement. A location and depth that could be affected by groundwater contamination from the WSP. A determination by Ecology and DOC that water quality from a well needs to be verified to ensure the safety of a private water supply. A location that would provide hydrogeologic data for the RI. Permission by the well owner to collect samples. Groundwater sampling parameters and techniques are described in Section 3 of this SAP. 2.1.6 Test Pits Based on the results of the geophysical investigation, test pits will be dug to determine the subsurface conditions of the landfill and to determine whether hazardous materials are present. An excavator or backhoe will be used. If objects are encountered that require careful excavation, hand digging will be used. Ambient air monitoring will be conducted during excavation, and soil samples will be collected from test pits. If any drums or other containers are found during the excavation of test pits, the Parametrix team will consult with DOC and Ecology before implementing a container sampling and removal plan.

Objectives and Design 2.1.7 Grab Sampling Grab sampling is a straight forward method of collecting easily accessible soil or surface water. This includes soil at or near the ground surface, soil exposed by excavation, or water from runoff streams or stagnant ponds. A typical depth used is 6 inches but this can vary depending on location circumstances. In addition to the specific sample locations, surface soil samples will be collected if a location shows visible signs of contamination such as distressed vegetation or discolored soil. The surface soil sample will be collected and analyzed for the applicable contaminant of concern based on the sample location. 2.1.8 Surface Water Sampling The surface water sample results will be used to help determine whether CCOCs or SCOCs are being transported off site via stormwater. The surface water sample will be collected and analyzed for the applicable contaminant of concern based on the sample location.

The team will proceed through security clearance procedures, on-site security briefings, and on-site safety briefings required to conduct contractor work at WSP. 3.1.2 Clearance of Drilling Locations Maps and plans of subsurface structures, utility systems, and other underground infrastructure will be obtained through the WSP Plant Manager. A meeting of the field investigation leaders and DOC staff will be held at WSP to discuss each proposed drilling location with respect to security access, the potential to negatively impact DOC operations, the locations of underground utilities and structures, and access/egress of drilling equipment. Once locations have been approved by DOC, an underground utility locating company will be retained to check each drilling location with field detection equipment. Drilling locations will be adjusted based on this field check, as necessary. 3.1.3 Monitoring Well Installation and Sampling The depth to groundwater and the direction of groundwater flow in the uppermost aquifer beneath the WSP site (the shallow aquifer), which occurs within sand and gravel lacustrine sediments, is important to establish early in the RI. Although the general groundwater flow direction is to the west, flow directions beneath WSP must be delineated to assess upgradient and downgradient relationships of on-site AOCs and potential off-site groundwater contamination sources. Collection of groundwater samples early during the RI is also important for comparison of current groundwater quality data with CCOCs and SCOCs described above in Section 1.4, and with applicable groundwater quality standards. Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 3-1 February 24, 2010 3. RI Field Investigation A total of nine new monitoring wells are proposed for installation during the RI field work, at the locations shown on Figure 1. The rationale for each of these monitoring wells is described in Table 3-1. The monitoring wells will be drilled and installed by the sonic method, as previously described in Section 2.1.4. The final locations of these monitoring wells will be established after a thorough check of location access and subsurface utilities. Table 3-1.

This evaluation will include location checking of candidate wells in the field, without accessing private property. A list of water wells for potential sampling will be prepared and discussed by DOC and Ecology, including options for obtaining access to these wells. No private well owners will be contacted until approved by DOC and Ecology. If such water wells are available for sampling, sampling procedures will specifically be developed for each private water well system, to assure collection of representative groundwater samples and measurement of groundwater levels. Approximate well elevations and locations will be established with GPS equipment. 3.1.5 Groundwater Sampling The first quarterly sampling event of the RI will be conducted immediately after the new monitoring wells have been installed and developed. Table 3-2 lists the new and previously existing monitoring wells to be sampled and the analytes to be tested. Groundwater sampling procedures are described below in Section 4.

All of the quarterly sampling events include the CCOCs. Two of the quarterly events (opposite seasons) also include the suspected chemical groups SVOCs, PAHs, and TPH. This sampling approach provides sufficient data to assess repeatability of results, support the risk assessment, and facilitate the selection of remedial alternatives in the FS. 3.1.6 Site Topographic Survey The topographic survey will be conducted using the methodology described in Section 2.1.1 of this SAP. This work will be closely coordinated with the WSP Plant Manager and associated engineering staff, 3.2 AOC Investigation Based on the historical data discussed in the RI Work Plan and in previous sections of this RI SAP, preliminary sampling areas and the type of sampling to be performed in each AOC were developed and are described in the following sections of this SAP. All final sampling methods and technologies will be decided in the field after a thorough site examination has been conducted. Any soil sampling or soil gas probe work will be done in areas of exposed soil, as close as possible to contamination sources. Coring and drilling through pavement or building floors will be avoided by selection of appropriate drilling and soil sampling locations in open and accessible areas. Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 3-3 February 24, 2010 3. RI Field Investigation 3.2.1 Area of Concern #1: WSP Landfill An EM or GPR geophysical survey will be conducted on both cells of the landfill to the extent possible. The primary function of the survey is to locate any abandoned drums or metal containers. The geophysical survey will help direct potential landfill investigation activities such as locating soil gas sample points, test pit activities, and possible drum sampling and removal actions. If the EM survey identifies any metallic anomalies that could be drums or other metal containers, the Parametrix team will consult with DOC and Ecology before implementing a container sampling and removal plan. If a drum (or suspected drum) is discovered during any subsequent WSP Landfill investigation activities, then the same notification procedures will be followed and further investigation work at the WSP Landfill will stop immediately. No other field activities at the WSP Landfill will continue until a disposition for the drums has been determined. Soil gas probes will be installed in both cells of the WSP Landfill to assess the potential presence of methane and VOCs in the landfill. Preliminary locations of twelve gas probes are shown on Figure 1. However, based on the geophysical survey interpretation, any probe location that poses a potential risk of puncturing a container will be reconsidered. If a location is suspected of having a buried container, a gas probe will not be placed there until container presence can be ruled out. Additionally, if present, surface water samples and sediment samples will be collected from the catch basins east of the landfill, runoff streams, and the manufactured ponds (if possible) near the landfill. Once soil and possibly soil gas analytical results have been received from the soil gas survey, test pits will be excavated within the landfill to further characterize the contents of the landfill. Locations of test pits will be based on the geophysical survey and soil sampling results. Additional soil samples will be collected during test pit excavation. There will be a minimum of two test pits for each landfill cell (see Figure 1). 3.2.2 Area of Concern #2: Former Dry Cleaning Services A preliminary soil gas survey will be conducted at both dry cleaning locations. Surface soils will be collected during the soil gas investigation if locations show visible signs of contamination such as distressed vegetation or discolored soil. If field screening results of the soil gas survey show the presence of VOCs, then confirmatory direct-push soil sampling will be conducted at a minimum of three locations to determine soil concentrations of COCs (see Figure 1). 3.2.3 Area of Concern #3: Former Motor Pool A preliminary visual survey of the area will be done to identify the most appropriate sampling locations. If there is evidence of a spill (e.g., visible signs of contamination such as distressed vegetation or discolored soil), then surface soils will be collected. Direct-push soil gas and soil sampling will be collected at a minimum of two locations near the former motor pool building foundation. February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 3-4 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 3. RI Field Investigation 3.2.4 Area of Concern #4: Former UST Locations No soil sampling; see Section 1.5 of this SAP. 3.2.5 Area of Concern #5: Former Auto Body/Furniture Refurbishing Site Similar to the former motor pool AOC, sampling activities include an initial visual survey followed by a soil gas survey and direct-push soil sampling at a minimum of two locations. 3.2.6 Area of Concern #6: Former Hazardous Waste Accumulation Area After a thorough inspection of the facility to identify the most appropriate sampling locations, a preliminary soil gas survey will be followed by confirmatory direct-push soil sampling at a minimum of two locations. Drain lines near this location will be inspected, and water and sediments in drains will be sampled if practical. 3.2.7 Area of Concern #7: Steam Plant Boiler Ash The greatest potential for exposure to ash is in unpaved areas of WSP where ash may have been used as fill (such as the “yards” associated with the BAR units and the western edge of the WSP facility). Surface soil samples will be collected at the approximate unpaved locations shown on Figure 1 to check for chemical components of the ash. 3.2.8 Area of Concern #8: Sign Shop If the location of this AOC can be confirmed, sampling activities would be similar to the former motor pool AOC, including an initial visual survey followed by a soil gas survey and direct-push soil sampling at a minimum of two locations. 3.2.9 Area of Concern #9: Metal Plant #1 If the location of this AOC can be confirmed, sampling activities will be similar to the former motor pool AOC, including an initial visual survey followed by a soil gas survey and direct-push soil sampling at a minimum of two locations. 3.2.10 Additional Areas of Interest The visible elements of the stormwater pathway to the south of the WSP will be inspected. If water or sediments are present in an appropriate location, samples will be collected according to procedure. The investigator will note at what point it appears that stormwater from other adjacent facilities is co-mingled with the WSP stormwater effluent.

RI Field Investigation 3.3 Sampling Limitations In keeping with the objectives of the preliminary investigation, no biological sampling or toxicity testing is planned for this investigation. Due to the nature of the facility, there will be access restrictions and site security procedures for all field personnel. Prior to mobilization, the WSP facility administration will be notified of the proposed schedule. All site procedures for access and security will be followed by every team member. In addition, during any field work near or within the WSP facility, the administration of the WSP facility will be notified on a daily basis of the proposed activities. Sample locations and daily field activities may be changed or curtailed due to site access restrictions and/or security requirements. February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 3-6 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 4 Field Sampling Methods This section describes the various details necessary for collecting data and samples in the field. Specific instructions are discussed for recording sample locations, decontaminating equipment between and after sampling, labeling sampling containers, documenting activities and managing waste resulting from the field. The next section (Section 4) discusses how the samples are handled as they leave the site. 4.1 Station Positioning Methods Based on the EM survey, field observations, and historical data, sample locations will be determined in the field. A global positioning system (GPS) will be used to determine the coordinates for all sample locations. Coordinates will be referenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 11 North coordinate system using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). In coordination with DOC a utility location survey will be conducted in any areas where any means of invasive sampling is planned. Existing utility maps will be a useful guide, but will not be relied upon for accuracy. 4.2 Sample Collection and Other Field Procedures 4.2.1 Geophysical Survey A geophysical contractor will be retained to test ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) survey methods of the WSP Landfill. Whichever method appears to be most effective in identifying buried objects and the landfill/native material interface will be used to survey both cells of the landfill. All field activities and visual observations will be recorded in the daily logbook. After the survey has been done and the data reviewed, the data will be used to determine the potential locations of any buried drums or containers. 4.2.2 Drum Sampling If drums are discovered at the WSP Landfill, the Contactor will contact DOC. The Contactor will have a drum sampling and removal plan prepared and ready to implement in case drums are found. No other field activities at the WSP Landfill will continue until a disposition for the drums has been determined. Once a drum or container has been removed, several soil grab samples will be collected in the vicinity to determine whether any soil was contaminated by leakage. Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 4-1 February 24, 2010 4. Field Sampling Methods 4.2.3 Soil Grab Sampling This procedure applies to any soil sample collected from an exposed surface, including both typical ground cover and soil exposed by the excavation of test pits. Using a decontaminated sampling spoon or other instrument, the sampler will collect a soil sample into a decontaminated stainless steel bowl and, to the extent feasible, large pieces of debris and organic matter will be removed. If the sample is scheduled for VOC analyses, then three VOC sample aliquots will be collected using an EnCore® soil VOC collection units or their equivalent. The EnCore® soil VOC collections units are hermetically-sealed sample vials designed to decrease the amount of VOC loss due to sample transport, handling, and analyses. If the remaining sample shows any signs of localized contamination (e.g., staining, strong odors, discoloration, etc.), then a sample of the suspected higher concentration will be collected before homogenizing the remainder of the sample. The remaining sample material is then thoroughly homogenized with the spoon. Aliquots of homogenized soil for laboratory analysis will be placed directly into the appropriate, labeled sample containers. Any field observations such as date, time, sample physical characteristics, sample location, sampler, and approximate sample depth will be recorded in a field logbook. If an excavator is used, the operator will use the bucket and scoop up approximately ½ cubic foot of soil. Once the excavator is no longer in motion and it is safe to proceed, the sampler will signal the operator and approach the excavator bucket to collect an aliquot of soil. From this point the sampler follows the same steps as for the hand dug samples. 4.2.4 Direct-Push Sampling The ability of a truck-mounted direct-push drilling rig to collect soil samples beneath the site will be evaluated, based on geologic conditions, sample depths, and equipment capabilities. This decision will be based on geologic conditions encountered during installation of monitoring wells at the WSP site (see Section 2.1.4). If feasible, the sampling team will initially use the direct-push rig to collect soil gas for field screening and laboratory analyses as necessary. For field screening sample locations, the direct-push would advance up to 20 feet bgs. A soil gas reading would be collected at 2 foot intervals and recorded in the field logbook2. If no detections of COCs are encountered in successive readings, the field team may abandon the sample location and proceed to the next. If indications of COCs are detected by field measuring equipment, then the field team may continue to a deeper depth until refusal is met. A laboratory sample would be collected periodically to back up both field detections and non-detections. Each push probe location would be abandoned following all applicable WAC requirements. 2 February 24, 2010 ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. At the discretion of the field supervisor, sampling intervals may be increased to 4 feet after 10 feet bgs 4-2 Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 4. Field Sampling Methods For subsurface soil sample locations, the direct-push would advance up to 25 feet bgs. A soil sample would be collected and recovered at 5-foot intervals. The recovered soil sample for a given interval would be placed into a decontaminated stainless steel bowl and to the extent feasible, large pieces of debris and organic matter will be removed. If the sample is scheduled for VOC analyses, EPA Method 5035A would be used and three VOC sample aliquots would be collected using an EnCore® soil collection unit or their equivalent. If the remaining sample shows any signs of localized contamination (e.g., staining, strong odors, discoloration, etc.), then a sample of the suspected higher concentration would be collected before homogenizing the remainder of the sample. Then the remaining sample in the bowl would be thoroughly homogenized with a decontaminated stainless steel spoon. Aliquots of homogenized soil for laboratory analysis would be placed directly into the appropriate, labeled sample containers. Any field observations such as date, time, sample physical characteristics, sample location, sampler, and approximate sample depth would be recorded in a field logbook. The well location would be abandoned following all applicable WAC requirements. In addition, if groundwater is encountered during the soil sampling a water sample would be collected if possible. At least one casing volume would be removed prior to sampling. Volatile organic samples would be collected first for analysis. Additional aliquots for laboratory analysis would be placed directly into appropriate labeled sample containers. Any field observations such as date, time, sample physical characteristics, sample location, sampler, and approximate sample depth would be recorded in a field logbook. The well location would be abandoned following all applicable WAC requirements. 4.2.5 Soil Sampling During Sonic Drilling Sonic drilling advances a hollow casing using sound energy and provides a continuous core of geologic materials penetrated during drilling that is retained inside the drill casing by a plastic sleeve. The extruded geologic material is then available for visual description, soil property testing, and collection of soil samples for chemical analysis. The entire length of the core will be examined for physical description, odor, visual stratification, debris, and any other distinguishing characteristics. Up to five soil samples will be collected at each monitoring well location for chemical analysis. The soil material will be photographed and observations will be recorded in a field logbook. For each core interval section, the following data will be recorded on the core log at depth intervals to the nearest 0.1 feet: Physical description in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (includes soil type, density, consistency, and color); Odor (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons); Visual stratification; Vegetation; Debris; Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 4-3 February 24, 2010 4. Field Sampling Methods 4.2.6 Presence of oil sheen; and Any other distinguishing characteristics or features. Monitoring Well Sampling Groundwater samples will be collected from new well locations, as well as preexisting locations at (1) upgradient from the Sudbury Landfill (MW-7, MW-9, & MW-10), (2) at the WSP Landfill, and (3) the existing well near the dry cleaning facility. The sampling team will purge and sample all monitoring wells using flow rates of 0.2–0.3 liters per minute (L/min; Barcelona 1989). Using a flow-through cell, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and redox will be recorded. Prior to sampling, all four water quality parameters should be within 5% for three consecutive readings. The pump will be disconnected from the flow-through cell and the sample will be collected from the pump in the appropriate sample containers. Any field observations such as date, time, sample physical characteristics, sample location, sampler, and approximate sample depth will be recorded in a field logbook. 4.2.7 Surface Water Sampling The sampling team will collect surface water samples by dipping a decontaminated bottle into the water and pouring the water sample into the appropriate sample containers. Any field observations such as date, time, sample physical characteristics, sample location, sampler, and approximate sample depth will be recorded into a field logbook 4.3 Decontamination Procedures The HSA auger flights, split spoons, direct-push drilling rods, soil samplers, compositing pans, groundwater pumps, and sampling utensils will be thoroughly decontaminated prior to use in accordance with standard operating procedures. The equipment will be washed with non-phosphate detergent and water, rinsed with fresh water, and rinsed with distilled/deionized water. If a noticeable oily sheen or petroleum odor is observed, the sampling bowls and utensils used to process those samples will not be used for subsequent sample processing. All hand work will be conducted with disposable nitrile gloves, which will be changed after handling each individual sample and between sampling locations to prevent crosscontamination between samples. 4.4 Sample Handling Unless the sample is intended for VOC analysis, all soil samples will be placed into a separate decontaminated stainless-steel pan and homogenized until a consistent color and texture is achieved. Soil coming in direct contact with the core tube wall will be not be included in the samples to the extent practical. The volume of homogenized soil needed to perform the required analyses will then be placed in appropriately labeled sample containers obtained from the analytical laboratories.

Field Sampling Methods All groundwater samples will be collected directly from the pump into the appropriate labeled sample containers obtained from the analytical laboratories. All surface water samples will be collected using a dedicated sampling container and poured into appropriately labeled sample containers obtained from the analytical laboratories. Table A-1 lists sample container, volume, and preservation requirements. 4.5 Sample Identification, Containers, and Labels Each sample will be labeled with a unique alphanumeric sample identification number that identifies the characteristics of the sample. The sample identification structure will be AAA-##-##-AA-###, with the characters defined as follows: Characters 1, 2, and 3 –Site Location, Washington State Penitentiary: WSP. Characters 4 and 5 – AOC number. Characters 6 and 7 – Station location sequential number: 01, 02, 03, etc. Characters 8 and 9 – Matrix: SS = surface soil; SB = subsurface soil; SW = surface water; GW = groundwater; SG = soil gas; DM = drum. Characters 10, 11, and 12 – Sample depth interval bottom depth: 000 = surface, 010 = 8 to 10 feet, 110 = 108 to 110 feet, etc. For example, the subsurface soil sample collected from 1.0 to 2.0 feet bgs from the fifth monitoring well location in the WSP Landfill (AOC #1) would be labeled WSP-01-05SB-002. Sample aliquots submitted to the analytical laboratories will be placed in pre-cleaned sample containers and preserved as specified in Table A-1. The procedure for sample storage and shipping is described in Section 4. Sample labels will be self-adhering, waterproof material. An indelible pen will be used to fill out each label. Each sample label will contain the project name, sample identification number, date and time of collection, analyses, preservation, and initials of the person preparing the sample. Sample labels will be protected by packaging tape wrapped around the entire jar to prevent loss or damage of the labels during handling and storage. 4.6 Field Documentation Procedures A complete record of field activities will be maintained. Documentation necessary to meet QA objectives includes field notes and field forms, sample container labels, and chain of custody forms. The field documentation will provide descriptions of all sampling activities and weather conditions as well as names of sampling personnel, and will record all modifications, decisions, and/or corrective actions to the study design and procedures identified in this SAP. Field logbooks will be kept on site during field operations. Daily activities will be recorded in a bound field logbook of water-resistant paper. Two additional logbooks will be used: one consisting of bound, paginated field forms for core sampling; and one for an Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan ecol~' eCO)02Y and lIml envi.l"onmenf, environment, inc. 4-5 February 24, 2010 4. Field Sampling Methods inventory of sample containers (separate from the chain of custody documentation). All entries will be made legibly, in indelible ink, and will be signed and dated. Information recorded will include the following: Date, time, place, and location of sampling Names of on-site personnel and visitors Daily safety discussion notes and any safety issues QA samples collected (duplicate samples, field blanks, etc.) Field measurements and their units Observations about site, location, and samples (weather, current, odors, appearance, etc.) Equipment decontamination verification Field logbooks are intended to provide sufficient data and observations to enable participants to reconstruct events that occur during field activities. Entries should be factual, detailed, and objective. Unless restricted by weather conditions, all original data recorded in field logbooks, on sample identification tags, on chain of custody records, and on field forms will be written in waterproof ink. If an error is made, the individual responsible may make corrections by crossing out the error with a single line and entering the correct information. The erroneous information will not be obliterated. All corrections will be initialed and dated. All documentation, including voided entries, will be maintained with project files. 4.7 Investigation-Derived Waste Investigation-derived waste (IDW) expected to be generated by sampling activities during the field activities includes: Soil core sample material not submitted to the laboratories; Groundwater from developing, purging, and sampling monitoring wells; Equipment decontamination fluids; and Disposable protective clothing and sampling supplies. The monitoring well HSA cores will be processed at each monitoring well. Excess soil core material will be containerized in drums and disposed of properly. Groundwater from well development, purging, and sampling will be containerized in drums and disposed of properly. Fluids generated during equipment decontamination will be contained in drums and disposed of properly following field activities. Used personal protective equipment (PPE) such as Tyvek suits or gloves and disposable supplies such as paper towels and packaging will be placed in plastic storage bags and disposed of as municipal waste. If PPE contains residual soil, the PPE will be decontaminated using the procedures outlined in Section 3.3, and will be disposed of as non-hazardous waste. Waste material such as cardboard and aluminum will be recycled as feasible.

Maximum sample holding and extraction times will be strictly adhered to by field personnel and the analytical and testing laboratories. Preparation of jars for shipment to fixed laboratories will be performed in the following manner: Samples will be packaged and shipped in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations as specified in 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 173.6 and 49 CFR 173.24. Sample containers will be placed in plastic zip-loc bubble-pack bags or wrapped in bubble pack and secured with packaging tape. Three to four ice packs in a garbage bag will be placed at the bottom of a cooler. Sample containers will be placed in a garbage bag and filled with the sample bottles. Additional bags of ice will be added as needed to surround the bag containing the samples. Chain of custody forms will be enclosed in a plastic bag and taped to the inside lid of the cooler. The cooler will be sealed with strapping tape and a custody seal. Samples for chemical analyses will be hand-couriered or shipped via overnight delivery to the analytical laboratories at the close of sampling activities, and accompanied by the chain of custody record. The chain of custody record will be signed by the individual relinquishing the samples to be couriered or shipped. When samples are received at the laboratory, the shipping container seal will be broken and the condition of the samples will be recorded by the receiver. The field personnel will be responsible for the following: Packaging the samples; Signing the chain of custody before placing it inside the cooler; Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix A: Final Sampling & Analysis Plan 5-1 February 24, 2010 5. Sample Handling Procedures Applying a shipping label, a waybill, a custody seal, and strapping tape to the cooler; Shipping the samples in accordance with the maximum holding time allowed for the analyses to be performed; Notifying the laboratory of when the samples are shipped; and Confirming receipt of the samples in good condition by the laboratory. All samples will be retained for a minimum of six months from the time they were received using standard laboratory handling procedures. They may be removed from the laboratory prior to the end of the six-month period only at the direction of the Contactor project manager. 5.2 Chain of Custody Procedures Samples will be retained at all times in the field crew's custody until they are delivered or shipped to the appropriate laboratory by the Contactor personnel. Chain of custody forms will be initiated at the time of sample collection to ensure that all collected samples are properly documented and traceable through storage, transport, and analysis. When all line items on the form are completed or when the samples are relinquished, the sample collection custodian will sign and date the form, list the time, and confirm the completeness of all descriptive information contained on the form.

The goal of the RI/FS is to determine the nature and extent of contamination related to and downgradient of the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, Washington. Further information on the project objectives can be found in the Work Plan. This QAPP describes the objectives of the field study and the quality assurance procedures to be followed to achieve those objectives. This QAPP is supplemental to the project Work Plan as Appendix B and supports the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP, Work Plan Appendix A). The contractor who will implement the Work Plan, SAP, and QAPP has not been selected at this time. After the study is completed, analytical data will be uploaded to the Department of Ecology’s Environmental Information Management database and a final report describing the results will be posted to Ecology’s website. Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix B: Final Quality Assurance Project Plan vii February 24, 2010 This page intentionally left blank. 1 Introduction The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), in coordination with the Department of Corrections (DOC), became involved with the Washington State Penitentiary (WSP) in Walla Walla, Washington in 1992. The WSP Landfill was added to Ecology’s Confirmed and Suspected Contamination Sites List on June 8, 1992 because of concerns about the WSP Landfill, and other past activities at the WSP facility being potential sources of contamination detected in groundwater downgradient from the site. On behalf of Ecology and DOC, Ecology and Environment, Inc., (E & E) prepared the preliminary Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). It was based on the Ecology document “Guidelines for Preparing Quality Assurance Project Plans for Environmental Studies” (2004a) and on guidance provided by Ecology’s site manager and representatives of DOC. The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) is the Potential Liable Party (PLP) responsible for completing the RI/FS at WSP. DOC retained Parametrix, Inc. to implement the RI/FS, including updating this RI/FS QAPP with information specific to the project team and analytical laboratory that will complete the project. The “site” is defined by the property boundaries of the WSP. The site definition may be updated by new information as it becomes available. A site area map can be seen in Figure 1 of the Work Plan. 1.1 Background Previous investigations have confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the groundwater upgradient of the Sudbury Road Municipal Landfill (Sudbury Road Landfill) and downgradient of the WSP Landfill. In several monitoring wells, the concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have exceeded the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup levels for groundwater (see Work Plan Table 2-1). Washington State Penitentiary RI/FS Appendix B: Final Quality Assurance Project Plan 1-1 February 24, 2010 1. Introduction 1.2 Previous Studies Surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, and groundwater samples have been collected and analyzed from locations in and around the WSP during previous investigations conducted at various times between 1984 and 2000. Groundwater samples have been collected upgradient of the Sudbury Road Landfill and surrounding the WSP landfill. Previous investigations conducted in the vicinity of the WSP and the Sudbury Road Landfill are summarized in the project Work Plan.

The project will evaluate concentrations of several contaminants of concern (COCs): Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPH-D) Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) Total metals Each of these contaminants is of concern for one or more of the following reasons: The contaminant has been detected in previous investigations, or Historical records have indicated the contaminants were used or stored on site. Surface soil, subsurface soil, storm drain sediments, surface water, groundwater, and soil gas samples will be collected from the WSP and the WSP Landfill. The general location of the WSP is illustrated in Work Plan Figure 1. The boundary of the study area for the investigation is illustrated in Work Plan Figures 1 and 2.
