Soil Interim Measures Implementation Report Q6 Radar Station – Solid Waste Management Unit 112 Locations of Concern 3 and 10 Kennedy Space Center, Florida

This report presents a summary of the soil interim measures (IM) implementation activities that occurred from January 23 through June 6, 2023, at the Q6 Radar Station (Q6RS) Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 112, located at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. The site is monitored under KSC’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program, which also meets the requirements of Chapter 62-780, Florida Administrative Code. Assessment activities have previously been performed at 10 Q6RS Locations of Concern (LOCs), identified during a SWMU assessment in 2013 (NASA 2013). Since the SWMU assessment, further confirmatory sampling and assessment was conducted for each LOC, and based on the data collected during these assessments, it was determined that Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation to further evaluate soil and groundwater was to be conducted at two LOCs: LOC 1 – Former Underground Storage Tanks (groundwater) and LOC 3 – Radar Antenna Refurbishment Area (soil). The LOC 1 groundwater assessment is ongoing, and the results will be presented under a separate cover. It was also determined that soil IM would be completed at two of the LOCs, LOC 3 and LOC 10 – Compressor Building Condensate Discharge. A Soil IM Work Plan was prepared and submitted in October 2021 (NASA 2021). The plan proposed excavation and disposal of barium and copper impacted soil in the LOC 3 and 10 areas. This report presents a summary and results of the soil IM implementation activities conducted at LOCs 3 and 10. The site contaminates of concern for this soil IM are barium and copper. The activities presented in this report includes soil IM implementation and groundwater sampling. From January 23 through March 24, 2023, AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) field personnel conducted IM implementation activities in the LOC 3 and 10 areas. As presented in the IM Work Plan, shallow soils, impacted with metals, were excavated to a depth of 2 feet below land surface in the central area of the site around the radar antenna and associated equipment. AECOM personnel excavated 77.43 tons of soil using hand tools and, when able, heavy equipment. The soils were placed into lined roll-off containers, which were covered and transported under manifest to the Cedar Trail Landfill in Bartow, Florida. The site was restored to original condition using certified clean backfill material (sand), with filter fabric, and gravel. Areas outside of the excavation were restored with grass seed. On June 6, 2023, AECOM field personnel conducted groundwater sampling activities within the soil IM excavation area. AECOM personnel collected one groundwater sample from monitoring well Q6RS-MW0003. The sample was submitted to a fixed-based laboratory for analysis by United States Environmental Protection Agency Method 6020B for metals (barium and copper). Barium and copper were detected at 18 micrograms per liter (µg/L) and 14 µg/L, respectively, and were below the State of Florida Groundwater Cleanup Target Levels (GCTLs) for barium at 2,000 µg/L and copper at 1,000 µg/L.

This report documents the Interim Measure (IM) completed at Un-Numbered Operational Areas (UNOA) potential release location (PRL) 229, at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. This document has been prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in accordance with HydroGeoLogic, Inc.’s (HGL) Contract 80KSC019D0012, Task Order 80KSC019F0224. The purpose of this IM report is to document the field results of the 2022 IM conducted between December 13, 2021, and February 11, 2022, and to present the recommendations based on the IM findings. IM activities were completed at the UNOA PRL 229 to remove railroad ties and benzo(a)pyrene equivalent (BAPE)/total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH)-affected soil in accordance with the IM Work Plan (IMWP) (Jacobs/CORE, 2019a). The objectives of the IM were to mitigate human health risks by reducing site contaminants to the residential soil cleanup target level (SCTL) based on the 95 percent upper confidence limit on the mean. A second objective was to reduce low molecular weight and high molecular weight polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations below ecological screening values for terrestrial receptors. Prior to excavation operations, railroad ties from all areas were consolidated. In total, 50.67 tons of railroad ties were transported from the site to JED Landfill in St. Cloud, Florida. The cumulative excavation footprint spanned an area of 9,710 square ft. In total, 908.54 tons of soil was transported from the site to JED Landfill. To backfill the excavation area, 880 cubic yards of clean fill was trucked to the site from S&LMaterials, Inc. borrow pit in Christmas, Florida. Following completion of backfill, the site restoration activities included grading the disturbed areas to match the existing elevations and vegetation planting by the site restoration subcontractor. The IM implementation activities were presented to the KSC Remediation Team during its meeting on May 3, 2022. The Remediation Team reached consensus on the completion of the IM reducing the area affected by BAPE/TRPH above the State of Florida residential soil cleanup target levels.

This report presents a summary of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) interim measure (IM) activities that occurred in December 2022 and March 2023 at Location of Concern (LOC) 2 – Electrical Equipment Area associated with the South Water Pump Station (SWPS) Potential Release Location (PRL) 213, located at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. The SWPS site is monitored under KSC’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program, which also meets the requirements of Chapter 62-780, Florida Administrative Code. Assessment activities have previously been performed at six SWPS LOCs identified during a Solid Waste Management Unit assessment in 2013. Based on the data collected during these assessments, it was determined that IM activities would be completed at one of the LOCs, LOC 2 – Electrical Equipment Area, and an IM Work Plan was prepared and approved. In 2019, demolition of the SWPS buildings and structures was completed, allowing for additional assessment at LOC 2, and it was determined that soil excavation to remove PCB-impacted soils was no longer required for LOC 2. The IM activities conducted following demolition are presented in this report and include shallow soil sample collection, conducted in December 2022, and monitoring well installation and groundwater sampling, both conducted in March 2023. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) personnel collected two soil samples from two boring locations, SWPS-SB0005 and SWPS-SB0018. The samples were collected at 0 to 0.5 feet below land surface (bls). AECOM also conducted oversight of one monitoring well installation, SWPS-MW0001 screened from 4 to 14 feet bls, and then subsequently collected one groundwater sample from SWPS-MW0001. The samples were submitted to a fixed-based laboratory for analysis by United States Environmental Protection Agency Method 8082A for total PCBs.

In Situ Chemical Reduction Interim Measures Work Plan Hot Spot 3 Mobile Launcher Platform Rehabilitation Sites / Vehicle Assembly Building Area (SWMU 056) Kennedy Space Center, Florida

This document presents the design details of an In Situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR) Interim Measures Work Plan for Hot Spot 3 within Mobile Launcher Platform Rehabilitation Sites/Vehicle Assembly Building Area, Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 056 (SWMU 056), located at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The interim measures (IM) treatment zone encompasses an area identified as the High Concentration Plume (HCP), which is defined as the area with chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC) groundwater concentrations greater than their respective Natural Attenuation Default Concentration (NADC). The objective of the IM is to remove CVOC mass within the treatment area to levels that facilitate a transition to natural attenuation monitoring. The IM design consists of the selected ISCR amendment, Provect-IR, which is a mixture of solid reagents in a single product that promotes enhanced reductive dechlorination and ISCR. ProvectIR includes natural antimethanogenic compounds; multiple hydrophilic, nutrient-rich organic carbon sources; zero valent iron; chemical oxygen scavengers; and vitamin and mineral sources. The proposed treatment area for this IM encompasses less than 1 acre and includes three vertical treatment intervals to reach the NADC plumes that vary per CVOC and depth: 4 to 10 feet below land surface (bls), 10 to 18 feet bls, and 42 to 52 feet bls. The amendment will be distributed through 16 injection points (IP01 through IP16) using dosing rates ranging from 0.4% to 0.6% of soil mass within the treatment interval and a 15% or 20% slurry strength. Dosage rates and slurry strength are based on groundwater geochemistry, soil characteristics, and contaminant concentrations. To aid in the evaluation of the ISCR IM performance, six performance monitoring wells will be installed following injections and sampled semiannually. CVOC parameters will be sampled until concentrations reduce to below their NADC. Underground Injection Control parameters will be sampled until concentrations decrease to background levels or to levels that meet respective groundwater standards. Sampling frequency will be evaluated annually and modified as needed. The path forward for the ISCR IM implementation includes preparing the IM Implementation Work Plan, ISCR injections, monitoring well installation, performance monitoring, and reporting.

Converter/Compressor Building Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) #89 Monitoring Well 21 Area Interim Measure Work Plan

This Work Plan details the approach and design for the Interim Measure (IM) to remediate groundwater within the MW21 Area where VOC concentrations exceed Florida Department of Environmental Protection Natural Attenuation Default Concentrations. The IM includes in-situ bioremediation via injection of emulsified vegetable oil (EVO) and emulsified zero-valent iron (EZVI). The in-situ bioremediation technology consists of injecting an electron donor substrate into the subsurface to promote microbial breakdown of VOCs. The EVO injections for this IM are designed based on the use of Provectus ERD-CH4, which is a vegetable oil/carbon substrate mixture. The EZVI injections for this IM are designed based on the use of Provectus EZVI-CH4. The IM treatment layout consists of nine injection locations of EVO at approximately 10-foot radius of influence (ROI) and three injections locations of EZVI at approximately 6-foot ROI. The injection method will be direct push using a DPT rig. The overall injection depths range from 7 to 17 ft bls. The 7 ft bls top depth is designed to be 2 ft below the water table to prevent substrates from reaching the top of the water table. Injections are planned to be implemented using 2 ft intervals and will take place using a bottom-up approach to 2 ft below the water table. This work plan further describes the IM design, injection calculations, performance monitoring plan, and provides an injection layout. Revision 1 of this Work Plan includes quarterly performance sampling during Year 1 in accordance with F.A.C. 62-780. These changes are reflected in Section 7 and Table 2 of the Work Plan.

TPSAS-NF1676L-12168-DND

The Federal Aviation Administration’s Surveillance and Broadcast Services Program Office considers Interval Management (IM) to be one of the three key, near-term applications to make use of ADS-B-In, the receiving and processing of Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast data on-board an aircraft. Interval Management is used to describe a wide range of operational applications and uses of airborne spacing technology. Interval Management makes use of improved scheduling and sequencing capabilities for the air traffic controllers (ATC) and precise, relative spacing of aircraft, to improve airport throughput, increase the use of Optimized Profile Descents (OPD), and reduce tactical controller workload. The IM applications are subdivided into two categories: one where the flight crew is authorized to manage their speed to achieve the IM goal while the controller retains separation responsibility and a second where the flight crew takes responsibility for both managing speed but also for separation from the specified target aircraft. The former is referred to as Interval Management-Spacing (IM-S) and the latter as Interval Management-Delegated Separation (IM-DS). For the past 10 years NASA has been working on a specific IM application called Airborne Precision Spacing (APS). This concept has focused on increasing runway throughput while enabling OPDs. It is seen as a specific application within the IM class of applications. This talk will present the current state of the APS concept including support for dependent parallel runway operations and how NASA is working to have APS support the broader IM activities. Planned development and testing of APS, including extensions to support IM-DS and FAA-planned flight trials will be presented along with several up-coming simulations.

KSC Headquarters Building Area SWMU 104 Soil Interim Measure Report for LOC 2D and LOC 2E Kennedy Space Center, Florida

This Interim Measure (IM) Report for Location of Concern (LOC) 2D and LOC 2E summarizes the activities associated with implementation of an IM to address soil and concrete contamination at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Headquarters Building Area (KHQA) located at KSC, Florida. KHQA has been designated Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 104 under KSC’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program. The IM consisted of excavating/removing residual polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in soil and concrete from two separate areas, LOC 2D and LOC 2E, which were associated with electrical transformer locations. IM activities were conducted in accordance with the Interim Measure Work Plan (IMWP), Revision 1, for KHQA dated June 2018, which was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in a correspondence letter dated April 2016 and the United States Environmental Protection Agency in a correspondence letter dated August 2018. The objective of the IM was to remove all remaining contaminated media with total PCB concentrations greater than the State of Florida Residential Soil Cleanup Target Level (RSCTL) (0.5 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]). This cleanup goal meets unrestrictive re-use conditions in Florida, and is below federal regulations for PCB Bulk Remediation Waste Cleanup of 1 mg/kg for high occupancy, unrestricted use areas, as outlined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 761.61(a). The timeline of the IM was coordinated with demolition of the former KSC Headquarters Building (demolished in 2021) in order to safely remove contaminated media after electrical equipment was de-energized and removed from the site. Excavation activities were conducted between January 10, 2022, and February 8, 2022, and included two waste streams for off-site disposal: (1) PCB-remediation waste greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg, and (2) PCB-remediation waste less than 50 mg/kg. A total of approximately 347 cubic yards (478 tons) of PCB-contaminated soil and concrete was initially removed from the LOC 2D and LOC 2E areas, as defined in the IMWP. An additional 4.35 tons of soil and concrete were removed based on verification sampling, which was conducted until the cleanup goal was achieved. The total area of excavation from both LOC 2D and LOC 2E was approximately 5,186 square feet (0.12 acres), and excavation depths ranged from 0.5 to 4.0 feet below land surface Excavated soils and concrete were stockpiled based on waste stream and subsequently transported and disposed of at Waste Connections of Osceola County, LLC – JED Landfill in St. Cloud, Florida (PCBs less than 50 mg/kg) or the Chemical Waste Management Landfill in Emelle, Alabama (PCBs greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg). Following excavation, clean backfill was brought to the site and provided to the Demolition Contractor to complete backfill and grading in conjunction with their final site restoration activities from building demolition. Post-IM groundwater sampling was conducted in May 2022 at three monitoring wells installed in April 2022 to confirm that PCBs did not leach into groundwater. These wells were installed where the highest PCB concentrations were detected at LOC 2D, LOC 2E, and from the Building Perimeter IM (previously completed in 2020). All PCB results in groundwater were non-detect. Volatile organic compounds were also analyzed based on potential past use of solvents in transformers with PCB-dielectric fluids and the potential release of dielectric fluids containing volatile organic compounds, and all results were non-detect. Based on completion of a successful IM at LOC 2D and LOC 2E, as well as previous remedial actions that have addressed other contamination at KHQA (SWMU 104), No Further Action without controls will be recommended for SWMU 104. NASA will submit separate Site Rehabilitation Completion Order request documentation for SWMU 104 to support an NFA without controls recommendation.

EVM and Schedule Management

The objective of EVMS surveillance is to ensure that the management control processes that support the performance measurement baseline (PMB) are in place, compliant with the EVMS guidelines, are routinely being used, and provide timely and reliable data. The PMB is a triple constraint where the constraints are schedule, budget and scope. For Surveillance, NASA uses the DCMA EVM Compliance Metrics (DECM) Tests that are aligned with the EIA-748 EVM Standard. Guidelines 6 is Scheduling Work, and DECM has 23 Tests for evaluating if the IMS supports project goals in its planning, statusing and forecasting. This session will focus on the Test Metric that analyzes forecast start/finish dates riding the status date of the IMS for two or more consecutive months as an example of how surveillance works in concert with IMS health checks. It will cover how to run the test to recognize trends and how this test helps ensure that the forecast is credible in support of critical path analysis.
