Subject: Revised Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum (No. 3)

Lowes Parking Lot Boring/Well Installation Metropolitan Former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Site, Brooklyn, NY NYSDEC Site No.: 224046, Order on Consent Index #: A2-0552-0606

Dear Mr. Willems:

National Grid is submitting the following revised Remedial Investigation (RI) Work Plan Addendum for the Metropolitan former manufactured gas plant (MPG) site (the Site), located at 124 - 136 2nd Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. This addendum describes work to be performed in the Lowes parking lot on FC Gowanus property located at 118 2nd Avenue and includes the two additional soil borings requested in your May 19, 2011 conditional approval letter for the original submittal.

The former Metropolitan MGP was operated by The Brooklyn Union Gas Company (BUG), a predecessor company to National Grid, from at least the late 1880s until approximately 1938. As you are aware, the Remedial Investigation of the Site is being conducted by National Grid pursuant to a Multi-site Order on Consent and Administrative Settlement with the NYSDEC, Index # A2-0552-0606, executed on February 22, 2007 and modified on August 10, 2007, and in accordance with applicable guidelines of the NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). Specifics of the RI scope of work are presented in the NYSDEC-approved work plan (Remedial Investigation Work Plan, Metropolitan Former MGP Works) produced by AECOM in May 2009 and in two previous Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendums. Addendum No. 1, for off-site property located at 381/539 Smith Street, was submitted to NYSDEC in June 2010, and Addendum No. 2, for installation of two deep wells adjacent to the canal, on property owned by Hamilton Plaza Associates was submitted to NYSDEC in February 2011.

The scope of work presented in this letter supplements the May 2009 NYSDEC-approved Remedial Investigation Work Plan (the RIWP). The purpose of the work described in this RIWP Addendum (No. 3) is to advance at least five soil borings in the Lowes parking lot area for the delineation of potential MGP residuals. Monitoring wells will be installed at select locations as outlined later in this submittal. At each boring location, a deep soil boring (minimum of 90 feet deep and 10 feet into visually clean soils) will be advanced and continuously logged to delineate zones of deep soil impacts (MGP residuals) identified in various investigation and geotechnical borings installed at the Site. Specifically, the primary objective for this work is to delineate NAPL and MGP residuals observed beneath the Lowes parking lot, in borings installed near the Gowanus Canal and the 11th Street Basin, and in recovery well borings located between the Hamilton Plaza Associates and Lowes buildings. Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) and MGP residuals were observed during the investigation and remediation of the FC Gowanus property at 118 2nd Avenue.

Mr. Hank Willems June 15, 2011 Page 2


A summary of previously observed subsurface conditions in the proposed investigation area is provided in attached cross-sections A-A’ and B-B’ (Figures 1 through 3). As shown on Figure 2, suspected MGP impacts were observed in geotechnical boring PB-5 at depths of approximately 50 to 80 feet bgs. Along cross-section B-B’ (Figure 3), MGP residuals were detected at depth in two historical borings, MW-6/DP-12 and PB-5, near the 11th Street Basin, with shallower impacts also observed at MW-6/DP-12. No residuals were detected in historical borings C-3S/D and PB-7 southeast of MW-6/DP-12 towards the former gas holders. Copies of historical soil boring and geotechnical logs are included in Attachment A.

NYSDEC has indicated that borings installed by others (e.g., FC Gowanus and USEPA) may be used for delineation of NAPL and MGP residuals if they: 1) employed continuous sampling, 2) have associated real-time organic vapor monitoring, and 3) have associated laboratory soil sample analyses. Because several of the borings used to develop cross-sections A-A’ and B-B’ do not meet these three criteria, additional investigation work is required. The data from the proposed borings and wells will provide additional soil and groundwater information at the Metropolitan former MGP site and will be compiled with data previously collected by others at the Lowes property. Additional step-back borings may be required to fully delineate the extent of potential impacts. If required, the location of these borings will be discussed with the NYSDEC prior to borehole advancement. Potential step back locations will be cleared using geophysical techniques during the initial pre-clearing activities to allow access to these locations during the same mobilization.

RIWP Addendum Scope of Work

Borehole Advancement and Monitoring Well Installation

Each boring (SB/MW-21, SB/MW-22, SB/MW-23, SB-24, and SB-25) will be advanced to a minimum of 90 feet bgs, and 10 feet into visually un-impacted materials, to reach depths encountered in earlier geotechnical work and to provide the anticipated full vertical extent information. Proposed boring/well locations are shown on Figure 4. Prior to advancement, each boring location will be cleared for utilities following National Grid pre-clear protocols and low energy excavation techniques. Geophysical clearance may also be performed to identify any subsurface utilities in the proposed investigation areas. Once cleared, soil borings will be advanced by sonic drilling techniques, which allows for greater drilling efficiencies and well installation options. The actual drilling locations and screen intervals will be determined based upon field conditions encountered and subsurface utility clearance activities. Soils will be logged continuously and screened with a photoionization detector (PID) from ground surface to the terminus of the borehole. Soil borings SB-21, SB-22, and SB-23 will be converted to monitoring wells. An intermediate well is proposed at one location (SB-22) to provide additional data to support ongoing RI work at the adjacent Pathmark parcel. Soil borings SB-24 and SB-25 may be converted into monitoring wells based on field observations and discussions between National Grid and NYSDEC. Targeted screen depth intervals and rationale for MW-21, MW-22, and MW-23 are provided in Table 1. Screen depth intervals for monitoring wells at locations SB-24 and SB-25, if installed, will be agreed upon in the field with NYSDEC. Each deep monitoring well will be constructed with 2-inch-diameter riser and 0.20-inch slot well screen. Well components will be constructed of PVC, except where Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) is present in the soil column, at which interval(s) well materials may be constructed of stainless steel.

The annular space between the well screen and borehole wall for each monitoring well will be backfilled with chemically inert No.0-sized, or equivalent, sand. A bentonite clay seal will be constructed using bentonite chips placed above the sand pack. The bentonite clay seal will be a minimum of 2-feet thick. The remaining annular space will be filled to grade with a cement/bentonite grout that is tremied from the top of the bentonite clay seal to the surface. Each monitoring well will be fitted with a lockable cap and finished with a flush-mounted curb box secured with a cement pad.



Drilling equipment (e.g. drilling rods and casing,) will be decontaminated using a non-phosphate soap wash and/or steam cleaning between each sample location. Non-disposable soil sampling devices (split-spoon samplers, core samplers, etc.) will be decontaminated using a non-phosphate soap wash, methanol, dilute nitric acid rinse, and distilled/deionized water final rinse between each use. Soil cuttings, decontamination fluids, and other investigation derived wastes (IDW) will be contained within United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) 55-gallon drums and disposed of at an approved off-site disposal facility.

The newly installed monitoring wells will be developed no sooner than 24 hours following installation. Each monitoring well will be developed using alternative surging and pumping methods as outlined in the existing RI Work Plan.

Soil Sampling

Soil sampling will be performed during soil boring advancement at each borehole. In summary, soil samples may be collected at the following depth intervals based on field observations:

• At the depth interval exhibiting the highest PID readings or visual evidence of impacts. If no impacts are noted, this sample will not be collected; and

• At the first clean interval or the base of the borehole.

Actual soil sampling depths may be adjusted based on field conditions or in consultation with NYSDEC field oversight personnel. Soil samples will be analyzed for:

• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260B • Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270C • Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) 8 Metals, and • Free Cyanide

If DNAPL is encountered in any borehole, a forensic sample of the material will be collected for comparison to dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) collected at other areas of the site. The samples will be analyzed for:

• PAH and Biomarkers by EPA 8270 and Total Extractable Hydrocarbons by EPA 8015

Groundwater Gauging and Sampling

The newly installed monitoring wells will be gauged and sampled following EPA’s low-flow groundwater sampling procedures in accordance with the RI Work Plan. Prior to sampling, groundwater levels will be collected at high and low tides levels based upon Gowanus Canal tidal elevations. Each monitoring well will be gauged with an oil-water interface probe to detect the presence of NAPL. While not expected based on available data collected at the site, if NAPL is present, a groundwater sample will not be collected.

Field measurements will be collected during the sampling of each monitoring well. The following parameters will be monitored: salinity, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation reduction potential (ORP), temperature, and turbidity.

Groundwater samples will be collected from the newly installed monitoring wells at least two weeks after well development and may be coordinated with sampling at nearby sites managed by National Grid.



Groundwater samples will be collected using low flow groundwater sampling procedures. Groundwater samples will be analyzed for:

• VOCs by EPA Method 8260B • SVOCs by EPA Method 8270C • RCRA 8 Metals, and • Total cyanide by EPA Method 9012B.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) samples of soil and groundwater will be collected and submitted in accordance with the RIWP.

Community Air Monitoring Plan

A Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) has been developed for this project that will be followed during all invasive fieldwork (soil borings, borings for well installations, and test pitting). The CAMP will monitor concentrations of VOCs and particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM-10) in accordance with NYSDEC and NYSDOH guidance. The CAMP will monitor these parameters upwind and downwind of the work area. Included in the CAMP is a description of methods that may be used to control odors during the RI if needed. The CAMP is included in the approved RI Work Plan for the site.

Surveying

A survey of the investigation sampling points will be conducted at the end of the fieldwork by a licensed NY-State surveying contractor. All horizontal locations will be reported in the New York State Plane Coordinate System, Long Island Zone (NAD83) in feet. All vertical measurements will be reported in NAVD88 in feet, to the nearest 0.1 ft. and 0.01 ft. for soil borings and monitoring wells respectively.

Schedule

Field work can commence following the approval of this Work Plan. AECOM and their drilling subcontractor are ready to initiate field activities as early as June 2011 pending site access. Ideally National Grid would like to coordinate the execution of the work described above with the execution of RIWP Addendum No. 1, assuming access to both properties can be obtained at approximately the same time. On completion of RIWP Addendums No. 1 and No. 3 field work, data derived from the original May 2009 RIWP and RIWP Addendums No. 1 through 3 will be presented in a single, all-inclusive RI Report.

Yours sincerely, Donald Campbell Cc: T. Bell (National Grid) A. Hecht (National Grid) J. Giordano (National Grid)
