EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0
Sampling for arsenic levels in shallow soil at the former police station property in Milford was undertaken on June 19, 2014 in accordance with the Scope of Work approved by regulatory authorities on June 10, 2014. Twelve (12) samples were obtained, 10 from surface soils and 2 from depth (1 and 2 feet). Evaluation of the arsenic concentrations along with those from samples from recent (2010) investigation at the site shows a relatively uniform distribution, both vertically and areally. Additionally, all concentrations fell largely above regulatory thresholds – no samples obtained at the site fell below either the EPA Residential or Industrial Remedial Screening Levels (RSLs) while slightly less than half the samples were below NHDES Soil Remediation Standard (SRS). Evaluation of areally-extensive legacy data of arsenic concentrations, sampled as part of the Savage Well Superfund site investigation in 1989, shows that the levels of arsenic found at the former police station property compared to samples from a 98 acre area around the subject site are remarkably similar. The data show strong spatial uniformity with little evidence of a discrete, anthropogenic source. Moreover, examination of the area bedrock geology reveals several formations with moderate to high levels of arsenic-bearing minerals. The Souhegan River and its tributaries have eroded and transported these materials over geologic time to create the alluvial valley fill and associated arsenic distribution found in soils in this area of Milford today. While the likely source of arsenic in soils is naturally-occurring upstream source rock, the levels found at the former police station site nevertheless pose human health risk based on EPA and NHDES exposure thresholds. Terracon recommends that the exposure pathway be eliminated when redevelopment occurs via creative capping approaches including paving, the use of building footprint and landscaping.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.0 The former police station property at 589 Elm Street in Milford (Appendix A, Exhibit A-1) contains an existing empty building, paved parking areas, a ball field and some wooded areas. Historically the property has been used to house a motel, offices, a waste casting storage area and a bulk oil facility. The property lies within Operating Unit 1 of the Savage Well Superfund site, abuts the Superfund source area and contains infrastructure associated with the ongoing remediation at Savage Well. The Town currently owns the property and has been cooperating with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) and the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) in granting access to the property to facilitate remedial action for the Savage Well site. The Town desires to see the property redeveloped to productive use and to serve as a gateway property for further development in that area of Milford. Conversations with the NHDES and EPA about redevelopment of the property have identified several issues that need to be resolved before redevelopment can meaningfully proceed. This report addresses one of those issues pertaining to concentrations and the spatial distribution of arsenic in shallow soil on the property. A Scope of Work was developed and submitted for review and approval by the NHDES and EPA on May 28, 2014. Approval for the Scope of Work was given on June 10, 2014.
SAMPLING PROCEDURES 3.0 Terracon staff sampled shallow soils at the site on June 19, 2014. Sample locations were determined using a Trimble Juno 3 GPS unit as well as via taping from known locations that could be discerned from aerial images. Locational data were downloaded to the existing GIS database for plotting. Staff obtained shallow soil samples from 0.5 to 2 inches below ground surface with a hand trowel from 10 locations (Exhibit A-1). In addition, 2 samples were obtain with a hand auger from depth, one from 1 foot deep (TER8), the other from 2 feet deep (TER5). Site soils consisted of loams, sands and gravels as described in the table below.

Samples were delivered under Chain of Custody to Eastern Analytical, Inc. of Concord, New Hampshire for analysis. Tabulated analytical results are presented in Appendix B, Table 1, along with relevant regulatory standards (EPA’s Residential and Industrial Remedial Screening

Levels (RSLs) and NHDES’s Soil Remediation Standard (SRS)). Laboratory data sheets are found in Appendix C.
DATA EVALUATION 4.0 4.1 Sampling Results Exhibit A-1 illustrates the locations of the current onsite sampling as well as recent (2010) sampling performed for the Town by Credere Associates, LLC. Terracon’s sampling scheme involved a grid-like pattern across the site to provide spatially extensive sample results. The 2010 Credere samples, clustered toward Elm Street and the former police station building, added to that coverage. Exhibit A-2 provides a posting map of the arsenic concentrations using indicator colors at the site including the 12 samples taken by Terracon as well as 11 samples previously sampled by Credere (Appendix B, Table 2). The posted data show that no samples at the site fell below either the EPA Residential or Industrial RSLs. Somewhat less than half the samples (9 of 23) had concentrations less than the NHDES SRS threshold. There appears to be a high degree of spatial uniformity in the site data, both areally and vertically. Vertically, there is effectively no difference among surface versus deep samples. In addition to the two samples taken at 1 and 2 feet deep by Terracon, a number of the samples taken in 2010 were taken at depth (Table 2), in some cases as much as 10 and 12 feet below ground surface. However, the average value of deep versus shallow samples was virtually identical: 11.1 mg/kg (deep) in comparison to 10.7 mg/kg (surficial). Areally, sample results show scant evidence of trends. Rather, the data depict a spatially even distribution. The highest concentration detected (17 mg/kg) occurs on the eastern side of the property, adjacent to sample concentration results ranging from about 9 to 11 mg/kg. At the farthest northeastern portion of the property (Sample TER1), arsenic was detected at 13 mg/kg. At the opposite corner to the southwest, a surface sample (CA-1) contained 14 mg/kg arsenic. Surficial concentrations in the center of the property (TER5) were 12 mg/kg. 4.2 Background Level Evaluation Based on the results from site sampling showing notable spatial uniformity of concentrations, a reasonable question arises regarding whether such concentrations represent background arsenic levels. To evaluate this possibility, Terracon obtained data from a 1989 HMM Phase II report contained in the 1991 Remedial Investigation for the Savage Well Superfund site. HMM sampled for arsenic at 20 locations scattered throughout this area of Milford. Terracon georeferenced the sample locations and posted the arsenic data.

Exhibit A-3 depicts the HMM data points along with the recent Terracon and 2010 Credere results. The exhibit, along with data from Table 2, reveals several important specifics:
The area encompassed is relatively large. The former police station property constitutes 8.45 acres, but the area demarcated by the HMM sampling distribution is more than 10 times that size (98 acres).
The mean value of the arsenic data (excluding three outliers explained below) is 9.6 mg/kg with a standard deviation of 3.3 mg/kg. Most samples of arsenic in soil in this part of Milford, therefore, would likely fall between about 6 and 13 mg/kg.
Three samples clustered within the footprint of the Savage Well site along the
banks of the Souhegan River appear to be outliers with values of 93, 155 and 204 mg/kg. It is possible that these concentrations (an order of magnitude higher than all other results) are related to site operations or activities at Savage Well and do not reflect natural conditions.
All 42 samples taken in 1989, 2010 or 2014 were above the EPA Residential
RSL. All samples except one was above the Industrial RSL.
Slightly more than half the sample results (24 of 42) were below the NHDES SRS threshold of 11 mg/kg.
Based on the mapping depicted on Exhibit A-3, arsenic values show no discernable trends or patterns that might be associated with an anthropogenic source either on the subject site or off. Data from within active industrial complexes show concentrations similar to those taken from open grassy areas or from along brooks.
Other than the three outliers, the data set is remarkable for its spatial uniformity.
Appendix D provides a series of variogram plots (a geostatistical function describing the spatial correlation of observations or values) of all arsenic data evaluated with the exception of the three outliers from the HMM Savage Well study. Directional evaluation of the plots shows negligible spatial continuity that might indicate a nearby distinct source of arsenic.
4.3 Refined Conceptual Model Evaluation of arsenic data from the 1991 RI in concert with the more recent (2010 and 2014) sampling at the former police station site suggests that arsenic concentrations in soil in this area of Milford will likely fall within 6 to 13 mg/kg. The data show insignificant spatial differences

either vertically or areally over this 98-acre area of the town, leading to the conclusion that the arsenic levels represent natural background conditions. The source of the arsenic is probably not the bedrock geologic material underlying this area of Milford. The Massabesic Gneiss Complex possesses mineralogy that is notably lacking in arsenic-rich constituents. A 2003 USGS investigation on arsenic in groundwater, for example, found no wells drilled into the Massabesic Gneiss that contained arsenic concentrations over the 10 ug/L drinking water regulatory threshold. However, the geologic material that mantles this portion of Milford is alluvial valley fill from rock eroded and transported from a variety of bedrock formations upstream, not just the Massabesic Gneiss. Exhibit A-4 shows the site location superimposed on the State bedrock geology map as modified by the 2003 USGS study along with the trace of the Souhegan River and its main tributaries. The exhibit shows that the river system passes through several rock types noted in the 2003 USGS study as having moderate to high levels of arsenic. Examples of these formations include the Spaulding Tonalite (in yellow) and the Upper and Lower Rangely Formations (in red) (Exhibit A-4). Over geologic time, the valley of Milford has been filled with the product of erosion from these upstream source rocks. The erosion and deposition process dictated the spatial distribution while the mineralogy of the source rock dictated the levels of concentration of arsenic found in Milford soils today.
RECOMMENDATIONS 5.0 The arsenic levels found at the former police station property site represent background concentrations typically found in this area of Milford. The arsenic is not anthropogenically generated, and a requirement for remediation would be inconsistent if applied solely to this property among all others in this area of the Town. Nonetheless, such soils do fall above human health exposure risk levels, and redevelopment efforts should take that into consideration. Terracon makes the following recommendations with respect to future redevelopment plans:
Capping material such as paving or the use of a building footprint should be maximized over areas of elevated arsenic concentrations. This would be particularly important in portions of the property nearer Elm Street where surface concentrations consistently exceed NHDES SRS levels.
Cover landscaping in areas not capped by structures, concrete or asphalt should be considered, particularly if residential use of the site is considered. This might include cover soil for walkways and recreational areas.

If cut-and-fill is needed for redevelopment, the site civil engineer and architect should strongly consider on-site reuse. This would be particularly important for construction activity in areas toward the Souhegan River to minimize changes to the floodplain.
