December 4, 2018 Groundwater Flow Model Progress Report 06 Revision 00 Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, JBPHH, O‘ahu, HI Page 1 of 11

1 1. Introduction 2 This Groundwater Flow Model Progress Report 06 is the sixth in a series of modeling progress reports 3 that describe the technical status of the groundwater flow modeling effort being conducted for the 4 Investigation and Remediation of Petroleum Product Releases and Groundwater Protection and

Evaluation project at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (“Facility”), Joint Base Pearl Harbor-6 Hickam, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. The progress report is a component of the overall project reporting as 7 specified in the project work plan (WP)/scope of work (SOW) (DON 2017a). The WP/SOW presents 8 the process, tasks, and deliverables that address the goals and requirements of Statement of Work 9 Sections 6 and 7 of the Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) In the Matter of Red Hill Bulk Fuel

Storage Facility, EPA Docket No: RCRA 7003-R9-2015-01; DOH Docket No: 15-UST-EA-01 11 (EPA Region 9 and DOH 2015). Submittal of groundwater flow model progress reports at a minimum 12 of every 4 months is stipulated in AOC Statement of Work Section 7.1.2.

13 The objective of the AOC is to take steps to ensure that the drinking water resources in the vicinity of 14 the Facility are protected and to ensure that the Facility is operated and maintained in an

environmentally protective manner. Work to support Section 6 of the AOC Statement of Work is being 16 conducted in response to the January 2014 release from Tank 5, and to evaluate potential remediation 17 methods for the January 2014 Tank 5 release as well as any potential future releases. Work to support 18 Section 7 of the AOC Statement of Work is being conducted to monitor and characterize the flow of 19 groundwater around the Facility and includes groundwater modeling. The collective work conducted

under Section 7 of the AOC Statement of Work will be used to inform changes to the current 21 Groundwater Protection Plan (DON 2014).

22 Reporting Period 06 covered in this report represents progress for the sixth 4-month period (August 4– 23 December 4, 2018) following conditional approval of the project WP/SOW by the Regulatory 24 Agencies, which was received by the United States (U.S.) Department of the Navy (DON; Navy) on

December 5, 2016 (EPA Region 9 and DOH 2016). Groundwater Flow Model Progress Reports 01, 26 02, 03, 04, and 05 (DON 2017b, 2017c, 2017e, 2018c, 2018f) were submitted on April 5, August 4, 27 December 3, 2017; and April 5 and August 3, 2018, respectively.

28 2. Work Completed This Period 29 2.1 CURRENT STATUS

Groundwater Flow Model Working Group (GWFMWG) Meeting #13, August 16, 2018: The 31 GWFMWG met once during this reporting period, on August 16. The GWFMWG is composed of 32 representatives from the Navy, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 33 (EPA), State of Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH), State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and 34 Natural Resources (DLNR) Commission on Water Resource Management (CWRM), City and County

of Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS), and the University of Hawai‘i (UH). The working group 36 was formed to coordinate the Navy’s development of accurate and reliable groundwater flow and 37 contaminant fate and transport (CF&T) models, and to solicit technical feedback from stakeholders 38 during the model development process. Each meeting includes a review of the modeling objectives 39 and responses to previous meeting action items.

The following main topics were covered in the August 16 GWFMWG meeting:

41 Regulatory Agencies’ technical feedback on the Navy’s Interim Groundwater Flow Model 42 (DON 2018e)

43 Additional considerations on the Interim Groundwater Flow Model

1 Moving forward on the 2018 Groundwater Flow Model

2 Synoptic water level study

3 The Navy’s current and future field activities

4 AOC Parties and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) Meeting, August 14–15, 2018: The Navy provided 5 the Regulatory Agencies and their SMEs with the current modeling files on July 27. In the August 6 meeting, the Regulatory Agencies reported minimal differences between the Navy’s model-generated 7 output, and their own model-generated output using the provided files. Also at those meetings, the 8 Regulatory Agencies presented initial comments on the July-published Conceptual Site Model (CSM) 9 (DON 2018d) and Groundwater Protection and Evaluation Considerations (GPEC) (DON 2018e)

10 reports; the latter report included the Interim Groundwater Flow Model report as an appendix. The 11 comments included:

12 1. Using geostatistics applied to barrel log data and strike-and-dip field measurements produced 13 basalt strike and dip results differing from those reported by the Navy. The Navy and geology 14 SMEs subsequently met to work toward agreement on the range of strikes and dips, and on 15 best estimates.

16 2. The need to be conservative in projecting the depth and extent of saprolite in the valleys based 17 on seismic data from the seismic profiling survey (DON 2018b).

18 3. The need to incorporate the presence of tuffs and low-conductivity sediments into the model. 19 It was observed that the presence of a cap (e.g., the Salt Lake tuffs) makai of groundwater 20 flow could restrict groundwater discharge to the ocean and could cause groundwater to flow 21 mauka.

22 4. The need to account for preferential pathways, including clinker layers and lava tubes, in the 23 transport model.

24 5. The question of what conditions would be needed to properly represent tunnel inflow, which 25 did not appear to be included in the model and would help with corroborating it.

26 6. Adjusting the CSM relative to the first five comments may provide a better calibration of the 27 model to fit observed heads and gradients, noting the continued systematic difference between 28 observed and modeled conditions.

29 7. The usefulness of soil vapor data as an important tool for early detection and for understanding 30 future releases.

31 8. Understanding the distribution of light non-aqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) in the subsurface 32 is important for understanding the fate and transport of LNAPL. The use of temperature data 33 to constrain LNAPL distribution was discussed. Developing a dynamic model for LNAPL can 34 be useful in providing LNAPL transport rates and thus further informing possible containment 35 options; currently, only groundwater flow and groundwater chemical fate and transport are 36 being modeled.

37 9. The need to qualify some groundwater chemistry data, an inability to demonstrate a coherent 38 flow path using the available geochemistry data, and the lack of a discussion of reactive 39 transport that the investigation WP/SOW (DON 2017a) indicated would be provided.

40 10. The need for a better understanding of groundwater coastal/submarine discharge for 41 incorporation into the CSM and flow model.

1 Two primary AOC Sections 6 and 7 deliverables, the Investigation and Remediation of Releases (IRR) 2 Report and the Groundwater Flow Model (GWFM) Report, were originally scheduled in accordance 3 with the AOC for delivery on December 5, 2018. Following the August 14, 2018 AOC Parties meeting, 4 the Navy requested a revised schedule for both deliverables’ due dates to fully address the comments

conveyed by the Regulatory Agencies on the CSM and GPEC reports. The Regulatory Agencies 6 approved the extension request in an October 29, 2018 letter (EPA Region 9 and DOH 2018). In the 7 approval letter, the Regulatory Agencies further detailed their 10 key concerns with the interim CSM, 8 the interim groundwater flow model, and the interim work related to fate and transport as follows:

9 Concerns with the Interim CSM:

1. Predominant strike and dip of basalt in the geologic model

11 2. Saprolite extent in the interim model vs. depths inferred by seismic profiling

12 3. Preferential pathways

13 Concerns with the Interim Groundwater Flow Model:

14 4. Representation of caprock, tuffs, and sediments

5. Drinking water shaft inflows

16 6. Calibration to groundwater heads and gradients

17 7. Coastal marine boundary and discharge

18 Concerns with interim work related to Fate and Transport:

19 8. LNAPL fate and transport

9. Groundwater data

21 10. LNAPL and dissolved-phase distribution

22 The Regulatory Agencies also provided a recommended schedule, and requested the Navy to provide 23 a response to their letter with a proposed schedule over the course of the 10-month extension (to 24 October 5, 2019). The Navy provided the requested response and proposed schedule on November 14,

2018. A meeting was held via webinar with the AOC Parties on November 15, 2018 to coordinate this 26 revised schedule.

27 AOC Parties Coordination Meeting, November 15, 2018: The Navy provided the Regulatory Agencies 28 with feedback on AOC Parties’ comments on the CSM (DON 2018d) and GPEC (DON 2018e) reports. 29 The Navy and Navy contractors reiterated the importance of SME meetings and Regulator feedback

to help better understand different perspectives and approaches so as to better address these issues as 31 part of the deliverables. The Navy acknowledged the comments and is working to apply several of the 32 recommendations provided by the SMEs. The Navy reinforced that correct representation of the site 33 geologic conditions is critical for the development of credible flow and transport models. Effectively 34 updating the geology into the flow model is a large effort with significant implications on the

deliverable timeline.

36 The Navy discussed the steps required to address the “Top 10 Comments” for input into the IRR and 37 GWFM Reports. The first step requires revising the geologic CSM, which is the cornerstone for 38 making decisions and numerical modeling. Changes to the geologic CSM have significant impacts 39 with respect to modeling, which in turn impacts the evaluation of remedial alternatives in the IRR

Report.

1 The following action items were identified during the meeting:

2 Regarding technical working group meetings:

3 – Need to take minutes during working group meetings to record AOC Parties’ agreements 4 during the meeting.

5 – Share materials/information ahead in advance of the technical meetings so that all 6 attendees can prepare and have more productive meetings.

7 – Explore other avenues to document agreement between parties on a topic-by-topic basis, 8 as some topics are suited to documentation by letter/minutes, but other topics may be 9 through data sharing.

10 – Provide meeting minutes with agreements noted to all parties for review to ensure that all 11 are moving in the same direction.

12 Regarding the EPA/DOH letter dated October 29, 2018:

13 – The Navy will provide feedback/consensus/concurrence/disagreement on the four topics 14 presented in the EPA/DOH letter.

15 – For the topics that the Navy has disagreement on, provide a plan for achieving agreement 16 from all AOC Parties.

17 – The Navy will provide a list of which of the Top 10 Comments have been incorporated 18 into the work.

19 – For the July 2019 presentation of draft deliverables, the Navy will present the Regulatory 20 Agencies with a summary of the changes made to the draft deliverables for review.

21 The AOC Parties also discussed that the presentation planned for November 16, 2018 should 22 incorporate discussion throughout, rather than questions and discussion at the end of the presentation.

23 AOC Parties and SMEs Meeting, November 16, 2018: A webinar was held to discuss key geology and 24 modeling issues from the Top 10 Comments provided by the Regulatory Agencies in the August 14, 25 2018 meeting. The intent of this meeting was to reach consensus on select items to allow groundwater 26 flow modeling to proceed. The following topics were presented and discussed:

27 Detailed comments on geology:

28 – Comment #1: Predominant strike and dip of basalt in the geologic model

29 – Comment #2: Saprolite extent in the interim model vs. depths inferred by seismic profiling

30 – Comment #3: Preferential pathways

31 – Comment #4: Representation of caprock, tuffs, and sediments

32 Detailed response to groundwater modeling comments:

33 – Comment #3: Preferential pathways

34 – Comment #5: Drinking water shaft inflows

35 – Comment #7: Coastal marine boundary and discharge

36 Several agreements were reached, and several action items were identified during the meeting. These 37 are summarized below.

1 The SMEs generally agreed with the predominant orientations of basalt. However, the following were 2 agreed to in order to enable model grid construction as quickly as possible: The Navy will add X and 3 Y coordinates for measured basalt strikes and dips and provide them to the SMEs. It was agreed that 4 the Navy would project the two principal dip azimuths and magnitudes onto digital elevation models,

and then SMEs from the Navy and DOH would meet in the Red Hill area in late November 2018 to 6 determine if these qualitatively agree with observed outcrops.

7 It was agreed that the Navy will evaluate two configurations of the saprolite/basalt contacts with the 8 groundwater flow model, and will evaluate sensitivity. The two configurations are based on interpreted 9 contacts at -5 and -55 feet mean sea level in the Hālawa Deep Monitoring Well (HDMW2253-03),

with a projected slope of 3 degrees upgradient and downgradient. Until new data related to the actual 11 configuration of the saprolite contact are obtained, the Navy will use the more conservative 12 configuration, based on the sensitivity analyses, for groundwater flow modeling.

13 There was agreement from the SMEs on the Navy’s presentation on orientation of preferential 14 pathways (e.g., lava tubes) as it relates to the groundwater flow and solute transport. LNAPL modeling

remains to be resolved. DOH reiterated that preferential pathways between the Red Hill tanks and Red 16 Hill Shaft are of particular interest to the AOC Parties.

17 The Navy will provide geologic three-dimensional visualization software files (.efb format) to 18 Regulatory SMEs. The Navy also agreed to send a list of references consulted for interpretation of 19 Honolulu volcanic series and caprock within the model domain. DOH agreed to contact the Honolulu

Authority for Rapid Transit to obtain geotechnical boring logs that cannot be released directly by the 21 Navy. DOH/UH SMEs will review tuff and caprock data and determine if they concur with the Navy’s 22 depictions within the model so that model construction can commence.

23 There was agreement on the Navy’s proposed approach to modeling to better comport with Red Hill 24 Shaft water development tunnel inflows reported at the time of construction. It was agreed that there

may be a head dependency to the flows, and that this could be tested in upcoming flow modeling.

26 The Navy will provide the recent geochemical/isotopic data requested by the UH SME.

27 Following this was a discussion of future AOC and GWFMWG meetings (in December 2018 and 28 January and February 2019), and informal smaller group calls/email/webinars to quickly reach 29 resolution on these matters. Navy and DOH SMEs will have follow-up discussions on Comment #1 to

reach quick resolution so that the model grids can be constructed. The EPA said it would be difficult 31 to commit to meetings in January 2019 because of a possible Federal government shutdown in 32 December 2018. The EPA also said that some matters may be more easily and efficiently addressed 33 via email. The Navy will provide AOC SMEs with files that have been prepared for the transfer 34 function-noise (TFN) analysis with necessary redactions.

2.1.1 Technical Progress

36 During this reporting period, the Navy continued refining and using the interim groundwater flow 37 model. Preparation of the GWFM Report for publication in December 2018, concurrent with 38 publication of the IRR Report, continued until the Navy’s extension request was approved on 39 October 29, 2018, as described in Section 2.1.

Some of the comments from DOH and EPA from the August 14 and 15 meetings were addressed by 41 conducting additional simulations with the Interim Groundwater Flow Model. These additional models 42 are listed below:

Model #48 Extend saprolite in southwest direction

Model #49 Homogeneous model of 2017/2018 synoptic water level study

Model #50 Heterogeneous model of 2017/2018 synoptic water level study

10 Other activities conducted during this reporting period relevant to groundwater flow modeling include:

11 Began preparations and commenced drilling and installation of the first of several additional 12 CWRM-permitted multilevel wells (Figure 1). Field work included:

13 – Drilling of RHMW14 at Hālawa Correctional Facility began in late October 2018. Due to 14 the number of boulders encountered during air knifing, a bucket auger was required to 15 advance through the boulders. Drilling was suspended in late November 2018 at 21.5 feet 16 below ground surface (bgs) due to petroleum odors encountered below 12 feet bgs. The 17 landowner officially notified DOH on November 28, 2018. Soil samples were collected 18 and sent for analysis, and the hole was backfilled to ground surface with bentonite chips 19 and sand.

20 Received residual saturation and other petrographic data for core and fluid samples from Core 21 Laboratories dated October 31, 2018.

22 Continued review and evaluation of 2017/2018 synoptic water level study including a 23 TFN Analysis.

24 Downloaded and reviewed data from Zones 2 through 8 in RHMW11.

25 Performed Red Hill Fourth Quarter 2018 groundwater monitoring and sampling in late 26 October and early November. This included sampling Zone 5 in RHMW11.

27 Used geostatistics (e.g., rose diagrams, Gaussian mixing models) applied to barrel log data 28 and strike-and-dip field measurements. The Navy collected additional field measurements in 29 September and October 2018 on the Moanalua Valley side of Red Hill. These results were 30 presented to the AOC Parties on November 16, 2018.

31 Met with DOH SME in the Red Hill area on November 28, 2018 to go over digital elevation 32 model agreement with observed outcrops. DOH was accepting of the dip azimuth of 213.6 33 degrees, dip magnitude of 2.9 degrees, but still questions the 184.6 degree orientation. Took 34 excursion up Tripler Ridge to look at rock outcrops on the Moanalua Valley side of Red Hill, 35 where the Navy had collected some of the apparent dip data in October 2018. Two outcrops 36 were observed; the DOH SME took measurements on these using a level transit, which was 37 same procedure used when DOH surveyed the outcrop in July 2018 that resulted in an apparent 38 dip direction of 217 degrees, 2.9 degree dip magnitude.

39 Conducted double-ring infiltrometer testing the week of October 15, 2018 at three locations 40 atop Red Hill, and received the report from Geolabs, Inc. on November 6, 2018.
