East Street Area I-North, East Street Area I-South; East Street Area 2-North and East Street Area 2-South Removal Action Areas Proposal to RemovelReplace Monitoring Wells

Dear Mr. Fisher:

On April 11, 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a letter to the General Electric Company (GE) providing conditional approval of a December 12,2007 document relating to the East Street Area 2-South Removal Action Area (RAA) titled Addendum to Conceptual Removal Design/Removal Action Work Plan (Addendum). That conditional approval letter provided comments on the Addendum and required the preparation of a Second Addendum to the January 2006 Conceptual Removal Design/Removal Action Work Plan for East Street Area 2-South (Conceptual Work Plan). On April 21, 2009, GE submitted the Second Addendum to Conceptual Removal Design/Removal Action Work Plan for East Street Area 2 -South (Second Addendum), which provided responses to the comments included in EPA's April 11, 2008 letter and presented supplemental information supporting those responses. Consistent with the Conceptual Work Plan and Addendum, GE proposed to complete the remaining design-related activities and submit the Final Work Plan for the East Street Area 2-South RAA within six months of EPA approval of the Second Addendum.

The Conceptual Work Plan and the two Addenda describe the need for and proposed scope of soil-related response actions for East Street Area 2-South, Groundwater at East Street Area 2-South is included within the Plant Site 1 Groundwater Management Area (GMA 1). In general, the response actions for soil at East Street Area 2-South are anticipated to include soil removaVreplacement, pavement enhancement, installation of a vegetative engineered barrier, and restoration activities. This letter summarizes the modifications to the ongoing groundwater quality and non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) monitoring programs at GMA 1 that will be necessary to accommodate the implementation of the soil response actions at East Street Area 2-South, pmiicularly in regard to monitoring wells located within or adjacent to areas subject to soil-related response actions. Specifically, this letter describes GE's proposed approach to protect, remove, and/or replace celiain monitoring wells at East Street Area 2-South.

In addition, this letter contains proposals to decommission several other wells within the East Street Area I-NOlih, East Street Area I-South, East Street Area 2-North and East Street Area 2-South portions of GMA 1 that are not needed to suppOli GE's ongoing groundwater quality and NAPL monitoring programs. GE has previously proposed and implemented (following EPA approval) modifications to the monitoring well network at the Lyman Street Area, Newell Street Areas I and II, and the 20s/30s/40s

Complexes in conjunction with the soil-related response actions or redevelopment activities associated with those areas. Therefore, no additional proposals related to those pOltions of GMA 1 are provided.

Overview of GMA 1 MonitoringlRecovery Well Network Within East Street Area 2-South

One hundred and fifty-one groundwaterINAPL monitoring wells and thirteen recovery wells are currently located within East Street Area 2-South. Ninety-eight of these monitoring wells and all of the NAPL recovery wells are currently Palt of the GMA 1 groundwater qualitylNAPL monitoring and recovery well network. Table 1 contains a listing of the monitoring wells within East Street Area 2-South, along with their current usage (if any) and a brief description of any soil-related response actions to be performed in their vicinity. The monitoring well locations are illustrated on Figure 1, along with the limits of the soil­related response actions to be conducted at East Street Area 2-South, as proposed in the Second Addendum.

Of the III wells currently utilized in the GMA 1 groundwater qualitylNAPL monitoring and recovelY well network within East Street Area 2-South:

• Seven monitoring wells are currently sampled under the interim groundwater quality monitoring program, currently in progress at GMA 1.

• Six other monitoring wells that were previously sampled under the baseline groundwater quality monitoring program for GMA 1 are currently utilized for groundwater elevation monitoring only, and will also be evaluated as potential long-term monitoring locations once the long-term groundwater quality monitoring program is developed.

• Twelve recovelY wells are utilized for hydraulic control and/or to remove NAPL.

• Eighty-five monitoring wells (in addition to the wells that are or have been sampled under the GMA 1 groundwater quality monitoring program) are routinely monitored for groundwater elevation data and to assess the presence and extent of LNAPL and/or DNAPL.

Proposed Modifications to Existing Well Network Within East Street Area 2-South

In evaluating the future status of each well in East Street Area 2-South, GE considered: 1) the current usage of the well (e.g., groundwaterlNAPL monitoring, NAPL recovelY, etc.); 2) the response actions (i.e., soil removal/replacement, pavement enhancement, any/or barrier installation) to be conducted in the vicinity of the well; 3) the potential for the well to interfere with or be damaged during the performance of response actions; and 4) the existence of nearby wells to provide adequate monitoring. GE also reviewed the extent of NAPL within this portion of GMA 1 (depicted on Figure 2) to ensure that sufficient monitoring locations would remain (both within and down-gradient of known NAPL areas) following any proposed well decommissioning activities. Based on these considerations, GE proposes the following approach for the disposition of the monitoring wells within East Street Area 2-South:

• Existing wells that al'e located within or near an area subject to soil-related response actions that are not included in any groundwater quality or NAPL monitoring program are proposed to be removed and not replaced.

• Wells that are included in GE's ongoing groundwater quality or NAPL monitoring program and that are located within a paved area to be addressed by soil-related response actions are generally proposed to be removed and replaced following performance of the Removal Action, since the

removal of pavement during the course of the Response Action would likely result in the destruction of the well.

• Wells that are included in GE's ongoing groundwater quality or NAPL monitOling program and that are located within an unpaved area to be addressed by soil-related response actions are generally proposed to be protected during performance of the response action, since it is anticipated that the relatively shallow soil removals can be conducted without damaging the monitoring wells. If a well is damaged, it will be repaired or replaced following performance of the response action, if necessary. Wells that are included in GE's groundwater quality or NAPL monitoring program and located in areas subject to deeper soil removals or other areas that could interfere with the response action are proposed to be removed and replaced following performance of the response action. Celiain wells may be modified (e.g., converted from above-grade stickup to flushmount surface completion) or have protective covers replaced, if necessary.

• Select wells that are not currently being monitored or are being monitored but where there are other nearby wells providing adequate information are proposed to be removed.

Table 2 contains a listing of the monitoring wells identified in Table 1 as being within or near portions of East Street Area 2-South subject to soil-related response actions and presents GE's proposed approach for each well. A summary of the wells within each Averaging Area within East Street Area 2-South and their proposed disposition during and after performance of the East Street Area 2-South response action is presented below.

Averaging Area 4A:

There are three monitOling wells located within Averaging Area 4A. One well (95-25) is utilized in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and one well (16R) is utilized as a groundwater elevation/NAPL monitoring point in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining well (17R) is not currently utilized by GE and is located within an area subject to future pavement enhancement/maintenance activities. Accordingly, GE proposes to decommission well 17R without installing a replacement well.

Averaging Area 4B:

There are 65 wells and five recovery wells/caissons located within Averaging Area 4B. Three of these wells are included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and 44 other wells are utilized as groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring points in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining 18 wells are not currently utilized by GE. Eighteen currently-utilized locations, including 16 groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring points, are located within or near soil removal/vegetative engineered batTier areas, as indicated in Table 1 and illustrated on Figure 1. Nine other wells, of which eight are groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring points, are located in areas subject to pavement enhancement.

As indicated in Table 2, GE proposes the following:

• Decommissioning of wells 8 and 95-19: These two wells are located within an area subject to future soil removal/replacement or pavement enhancement and are not currently included in either the groundwater quality or NAPL monitoring program.

• Decommissioning of well 6: This well is currently utilized in GE's groundwater elevationINAPL monitoring program and located within a one-foot soil removal area. Well 6 is in the vicinity of several wells that are either within areas subject to soil removal activities or will be protected during these activities, therefore GE proposes to decommission and not replace this well.

• Decommissioning of caisson 64S2: This inactive caisson is located within an area subject to soil removal. However, a groundwaterlNAPL recovery system is not in use at this location, nor is LNAPL present. Additionally, the well is no longer utilized in GE's NAPL monitoring program. Therefore, GE proposes that it be removed and not re-installed.

• Replacement of well 9S-4R: GE proposes to decommission this well, which is utilized in GE's groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring program and located within a six-foot soil removal area. A replacement well will be installed following performance of the soil removal and restoration activities.

• The remaining wells within or near areas subject to soil-related response actions will be protected during the performance of those activities (see Table 2). Several wells may require height modification andlor replacement of protective covers as part of the site restoration.

In addition to the wells listed above that will be impacted by the soil-related response actions, GE also proposes to decommission fourteen monitoring wells, thirteen of which are not utilized in its ongoing groundwater quality and NAPL monitoring programs. The specifications of these fourteen wells (i.e., wells 3, llR, 22, 31, 39, E2SC-OS, E2SC-06, E2SC-14, E2SC-2S, PI, P2, P3D, PS, and P7) are listed in Table 3 and their locations are provided on Figure 3 (along with all other wells proposed to be removed in East Street Area 2-South). These wells, which are either located near similar monitoring wells or not optimally screened for their intended monitoring purposes, will not likely be included in any future monitoring efforts.

Averaging AI"ea 4C:

No monitoring wells are utilized by GE within this averaging area, which has already been addressed by GE. Therefore, no groundwater-related modifications in this area are proposed.

Averaging Area 4D:

A total of 40 monitoring wells and seven groundwaterlNAPL recovery wells are located within Averaging Area 4D. Four of these wells are included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and 18 wells are utilized as groundwater elevationINAPL monitoring points in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining 18 wells are not currently utilized by GE. Only one well (ES2-12) is located within a soil removal area and two additional wells (E2SC-04 and 64/ESA2S-64) are located near a removal area, as indicated in Table I and illustrated on Figure I.

Since wells E2SC-04 and ES2-12 are not utilized in any ongoing groundwater quality or groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring program, GE proposes that they be removed and not replaced. GE will protect well 64/ESA2S-64 during the performance of the nearby soil removal activities.

Similar to Averaging Area 4B above, GE also proposes to decommission l3 monitoring wells that will not be impacted by the soil-related response actions but are not utilized in its ongoing groundwater quality and NAPL monitoring programs. The specifications of these wells (i.e., wells S6, 63, 9S-6, E2SC-02, E2SC-03S, E2SC-09, E2SC-16I, E2SC-16S, PZ-ID, PZ-3D, PZ-3S, PZ-7S, and RB-I) are also listed in Table 3 and their locations are provided on Figure 3. These wells are either located near similar monitoring wells or not optimally screened for their intended monitoring purposes, will not likely be included in any future monitoring efforts. In addition, GE proposes to decommission well ES2-6 and install a replacement well, since the entire screen section of this DNAPL monitoring point has become silted in and prior attempts to remove the sediment have been unsuccessful. Installation of this replacement well will eliminate the need for nearby deep monitoring well ES2-1 (which is intended to

monitor for DNAPL but is not optimally screened at the confining layer) and GE proposes that this well be decommissioned and removed from the GMA 1 monitoring program.

Averaging Area 4E:

A total of 44 monitoring wells are located within this averaging area. Five of these wells are included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and 22 wells are utilized as a groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring point in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining 17 wells are not currently utilized by GE. Almost all of these wells (42 of the 44 wells), including all five groundwater quality monitoring wells and 20 groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring points, are located in or within close proximity to the proposed soil removal/building demolition/vegetative engineered barrier areas, as indicated in Table 1 and illustrated on Figure 1.

For the five groundwater quality wells located in or within close proximity to soil removal/vegetative engineered barrier areas, GE proposes that two of those locations (HR-G I-MW3 and HR-G3-MWI) be protected if possible, since they are near, but not in, an excavation zone within an unpaved area. Another well, 3-6C-EB-29, is within a one-foot excavation zone within an unpaved area but will also be protected if possible. The other two wells (3-6C-EB-I4 and ES2-2A) are proposed to be abandoned and re-installed post excavation. As approved by EPA in its September 8, 2009 conditional approval letter relating to GE's June 19,2009 Proposed Modifications to Monitoring Well Network, the replacement for weIl3-6C­EB-I4 will be installed with a screened section between the depths of 6 and 16 feet below grade, which is approximately centered around the average groundwater elevations of the original well (11.5 feet below grade). To ensure that the well will be appropriately screened to monitor for the presence of LNAPL during all occasions, the top of the replacement well screen will be at an elevation above the historical high groundwater elevations recorded at this location (i.e., approximately 9 feet below grade). Well ES2-2A is proposed to be replaced based on maintenance needs identified during recent well inspections and the likelihood that the well would be fUlther damaged during the removal of adjacent wells ES2-2 and ES2-7 (see below).

For the 20 groundwater elevationINAPL monitoring wells in or within close proximity to the proposed soil removal/vegetative engineered barrier areas, GE proposes that 11 of these wells located within unpaved areas near but not in the excavation zone or in or within close proximity to the vegetative engineered barrier area be protected and that the other six wells that are located in paved areas be removed and replaced following performance of the response action. If a well proposed to be protected is damaged during excavation activities, or determined to be in a portion of the work area that cannot be adequately protected, it will also be removed and replaced following performance of the response action. When possible, replacement wells will be installed at locations outside of the vegetative engineered barrier (i.e., replacements for wells E2SC-2I and GMA 1-23 are proposed to be installed slightly north of the existing well locations along the northern border of the proposed vegetative engineered barrier) to limit the number of barrier penetrations.

It should be noted that as with the replacement for monitoring well 3-6C-EB-14 discussed above, EPA has already approved the specifications of the replacement for well 19. Specifically, GE will install the screened sections of the replacement well at a depth between 6 and 16 feet below grade, which is approximately centered around the average groundwater elevations of well 19 (10.9 feet below grade). The top of the replacement well screen will be at an elevation above the historical high groundwater elevations recorded at this wells (i.e., 8.5 feet below grade at well 19) to ensure that the well will be appropriately screened to monitor for the presence of LNAPL during all seasons.

It is also proposed that for wells to be replaced within areas where a liner will be installed beneath the vegetative engineered barrier that are not replaced prior to placement of the barrier, that an opening be constructed in the liner and sealed to a steel casing that will installed to a depth of approximately three G:IGEIGE]ittsfield_ CD _ GMA_I IReports and PresentationslESA2 Well Proposal\255911222 _ ESA I and2 _ WellDecomLtr.doc

feet at the future well location and left open following liner installation to facilitate installation of the replacement wells through the casing following completion of the response action activities without penetrating the newly-installed liner.

Finally, GE proposes that the 16 wells listed in Table 2 within soil removal areas in this averaging area that are not included in any ongoing groundwater quality or groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring program be removed and not replaced.

Overall, GE proposes to initially decommission 61 select wells at East Street Area 2-South prior to the commencement of the soil Removal Actions proposed in the Conceptual Work Plan and Addenda. GE will evaluate further the need to remove other monitoring well locations based on the field survey and discussions with the remediation contractor in order to confirm well locations and their proximity to work areas. Of the 61 monitoring wells that are proposed to be abandoned, 10 wells will be replaced during or following completion of the associated soil restoration activities. GE will decommission each of these monitoring wells in accordance with the general procedures described in Appendix GG of GE's FSP/QAPP for the GE-Pittsfield/Housatonic River Site.

Each of the monitoring wells to remain in place will be protected during the performance of the Removal Action at East Street Area 2-South. Table 3 presents a summaJY of the specifications of the existing monitoring wells proposed to be decommissioned. As indicated in Tables 2 and 3, 44 of the wells proposed to be removed are not currently sampled or monitored under any ongoing programs at GMA 1. None of the wells that were sampled under the baseline groundwater quality monitoring program, including those currently being sampled under the interim groundwater monitoring program for GMA 1, are proposed to be removed and not replaced.

In addition to evaluating the monitoring well network at East Street Area 2-South, GE has reviewed the status of monitoring wells at the other East Street RAAs (i.e., East Street Area I-North, East Street Area I-South, and East Street Area 2-NOlih) within GMA 1 and has identified several wells that are not needed to suppOli GE's ongoing groundwater quality and NAPL monitoring programs. Between these three areas, 18 wells are proposed to be decommissioned, one of which is proposed to be replaced by an upgraded well. GE's proposals to decommission and/or replace those wells, which are listed in Table 4 and illustrated on Figure 4, are discussed below.

East Street Area 1-North:

A total of 18 monitoring wells are located within this averaging area. One of these wells is included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and 13 wells are utilized as groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring points in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining four wells are not currently utilized by GE. GE proposes to decommission five monitoring wells at East Street Area I-NOlih (i.e., wells 6, 49, 52, 127, and 130). Four of these wells aJ'e not currently used by GE and will not be needed in the future due to the presence of other monitoring wells. The fifth well (52) is utilized as a groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring point as well as a baseline groundwater quality monitoring location. As described in prior GMA 1 monitoring repOlis and discussed with EPA, this well has been found to be damaged by surface infiltration and is no longer usable for groundwater quality monitoring purposes. For safety purposes, installation of a replacement well at the original well 52 location within East Street is not proposed. Instead, GE proposes to install a larger diameter well at the location of East Street Area 1-South well ESI-13 (discussed below), which is to the south of East Street immediately south of well 52 (See Figure 4).

East Street Area I-South:

Mr. Richard Fisher October 30, 2009

Page 7 of8

A total of 25 monitoring wells are located within this averaging area. Four of these wells are included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and 16 wells are utilized as a groundwater elevationlNAPL monitoring point in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining five wells are not cunently utilized by GE. GE proposes to decommission six monitoring wells at East Street Area I-South (i.e., wells 77, 89, 90, 97, ESI-13, and ESI-24). Four of these wells are not cunently used by GE and, along with well 90 which is monitored for groundwater elevations on a semi-annual basis, are not needed for groundwater elevation contouring purposes. As discussed above, GE proposes to install a replacement for well ESI-13 that will serve as the replacement for nearby East Street Area I-NOlih well 52 as a groundwater elevationINAPL monitoring point and groundwater quality monitoring location. To facilitate potential groundwater sampling needs, GE will decommission small diameter well ES 1-13 (0.75-inch diameter) and install a 2-inch diameter replacement well at that location.

East Street Area 2-North:

A total of 26 monitoring wells are located within this averaging area. Seven of these wells are included in GE's groundwater quality monitoring program and II wells are utilized as a groundwater elevation/NAPL monitoring point in GE's NAPL monitoring program. The remaining eight wells are not cunently utilized by GE. GE proposes to decommission seven monitoring wells at East Street Area 2-NOlih (i.e., wells 6-N, 9-N, 21-N, 22-N, 95-12, ESI-II, and ESI-19). None of these wells are currently used by GE nor will any of them be needed in the future due to the presence of other monitoring wells that are better positioned to monitor groundwater elevations and NAPL extent in this area.

Schedule

Following EPA approval of this proposal, GE will decommission each of the monitoring wells that are not currently being utilized in accordance with the general procedures described in Appendix GG of GE's FSP/QAPP for the GE-Pittsfield/Housatonic River Site. Any remaining monitoring wells at East Street Area 2-South will continue to be used for GMA I monitoring purposes until or shortly prior to the initiation of the Removal Action at East Street Area 2-South, during which time they will be protected, replaced, and/or modified (as necessary).

Please call me if you have any questions regarding this proposal.
