pH, petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatic/aromatic split) and speciated polyaromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs).
SEPA Position Statement WAT-PS-10-01 describes site specific assessment
criteria and the way in which SEPA will assign them to high risk ground-water
pollutant inputs in a consistent and logical way. The generally accepted procedure
for assessing risks from potentially polluting inputs is to use the concept of source-
pathway-receptor.
A passive input can be considered here, resulting from previous activity that has
now ceased due to the historical nature of the site. From the SEPA on-line Water
Environment Hub, it is clear that the ground-water below the site lies in the
Morningside aquifer. The quality of this aquifer is shown as good and water
abstraction could be a possibility. As such, the ground-water should be considered
a potential receptor. Therefore, resource protection values are the most
appropriate set of thresholds for risk assessment purposes.
The Position Statement from SEPA provided assessment criterial for pollutant
inputs into ground-water. If these are not available, other standards have been
referenced. As ground-water was not encountered, the leachate results have been
used to assess the potential for contamination to impact on the ground-water. The
findings are summarised in the table below:

With the exception of arsenic, the results were below the limits of detection or the
appropriate guideline value. To assess this risk further a risk assessment was
carried out.
This was carried out following the methods described by SEPA. The assessment
focused on the highest concentrations recorded in borehole 01. As the results are
for leachate, the assessment was carried out to consider how quickly the
contamination would attenuate as it moved through the soil column towards the
ground-water.
The hydraulic gradient was calculated assuming the pore-water would percolate
downwards, towards ground-water table. This was seen as a conservative
assumption. Having an assumed hydraulic gradient allowed a P20 (Ref. 20)
ground-water monitoring risk assessment to be carried out. The assessment is
included in the Site Specific Assessments in Appendix E.
In carrying out the P20 assessments, additional assumptions had to be made.
These are stated below;
• Pore-water would percolate down towards the ground-water,
• The width of the contamination plume is 10m, half the distance to the next
sample point,
• The aquifer thickness was taken as 0.40m, the thickness of the layer the elevated
concentrations came from,
• A bulk density of 2.00Mg/m3 was estimated from the site works,
• The porosity of 0.35n was taken for the correct soil type from Domenico, P.A and
Schwarts, F.W (1990).
• The hydraulic conductivity of 7x10-1 m/day was taken from Domenico, P.A and
Schwarts, F.W (1990).
The results indicated that if the maximum leachable potential was mobilised into
the pore-water, it would have naturally attenuated to below the RPV within 4.50m
of the source.
P:\25085\Report\report.doc 22 of 24
To summarise, it is unlikely that the arsenic will present a risk to water quality and it
is reasonable to conclude that the risk to the water environment is low.

As noted earlier, the risks generally have been assessed as low, with a medium risk
with respect to beryllium. In some cases the low classification is dependent on
precautions being implemented, as discussed in the previous sub-sections and
summarised below.
• The risk to construction workers has been generally assessed as low.
However, it will be necessary to ensure that good standards of site hygiene
are employed in order to ensure that ingestion and dermal contact are
minimised. Gas monitoring during entry into excavations and confined
spaces should be undertaken. Ventilation may be required. It is worth
noting that these are standard procedures.
• The risk to buried concrete due to sulphate and acid attack has been
assessed as low, provided the mixes are designed in accordance with the
requirements of Special Digest 1, as detailed in sub-section 7.4.
A medium risk was identified with respect to beryllium. Three of the four samples
had concentrations just below the Suitable for Use Level (S4UL), which resulted in
the Upper Confidence Level (UCL) being slightly above. Remediation will be
required. The simplest solution would be to break the link between the source and
the receptor by providing a barrier. This could be hard paving on the roads and
paths, or a blanket of clean inert soil in the areas of soft landscaping. It is
commonly accepted that to be effective, this barrier should be about 1.0m thick, but
in the present case the measured beryllium concentrations were all below the
Upper Confidence Limit (UCL). The advice of the appropriate Local Authority
should be sought with respect to reducing the thickness of this capping layer.

NOTES ON FIELD PROCEDURES
Sonic drilling is employed as an alternative boring method for soft ground and rock. The sonic rig operates much like anyconventional top-drive rotary rig. The main difference is that a sonic drill rig has a specially designed hydraulically powered drillhead or oscillator which produces adjustable high frequency vibratory forces. Sonic samples are extruded direct to plastic linerbags or semi-rigid plastic liners for rapid inspection. Bulk and small disturbed samples are then taken from the plastic liner bags.
Trial pits are excavated by hand or machine for a number of purposes such as avoiding services, exposing foundations orobtaining a better view of shallow ground conditions.
Tube samples of cohesive soils are generally taken with a 100mm internal diameter open drive sampler known as a U100, with anarea ratio of 30%. The sampler is driven into the soil at the bottom of the borehole by a sliding hammer. After a sample is taken,the drive head and cutting shoe are unscrewed from the sample tube and any wet or disturbed soil removed from either end. Thesample tube is then sealed with wax and fitted with plastic end caps.
A range of more specialised equipment, e.g. thin walled open drive sampler (UT100), piston or foil samplers, may be used to obtainhigher quality samples in conditions where conventional open drive sampling is impracticable or unsatisfactory. The UT100sampler is specifically utilised to obtain class 1 samples of cohesive soils as required under BS EN1997-2.
Disturbed samples are taken from the boring tools or trial pits at regular intervals. The samples are sealed in airtight containers.Bulk samples are large disturbed samples from the boring tools, or from trial pits, generally where tube samples are unavailable.
The Standard Penetration Test, SPT, in accordance with BS EN ISO 22476-3, determines the resistance of soil to the penetrationof a split barrel sampler. A 50mm diameter split barrel sampler is driven 450mm into the soil using a 63.5kg hammer with a 760mmdrop, and the penetration resistance, the "N" value, is expressed as the number of blows required to achieve 300mm penetrationbelow an initial penetration of 150mm, the seating drive, through any disturbed soil at the bottom of the borehole.
In coarse soils, the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is conducted in the same manner as the SPT but using a 50mm diameter 60degree apex solid cone point to replace the split barrel sampler.
Where more accurate or longer term measurement of emissions is required, gas monitoring standpipes are installed in boreholes.
Determination and measurement of gases in the ground, commonly in relation to landfills, may be made directly from the groundsurface, where a hole is formed by driving a solid and rigid steel spike to depths normally in the range 1.0 to 1.5m. Gas emissionsare analysed using an appropriate portable analyser. However, research has shown that the small sample hole size and smearingeffects can give a false negative result.
A more accurate record of groundwater behaviour may be obtained from standpipes or standpipe piezometers.
(a) The trial pit or borehole is rarely left standing at the relevant depth for sufficient time for the water level to reach equilibrium.(b) A permeable stratum may have been sealed off by the borehole casing.(c) It may have been necessary to add water to the borehole to facilitate progress.(d) There may be seasonal, tidal or other effects at the site.
Borehole water levels are recorded, together with the depths at which seepages or inflows of groundwater are detected and theobservations noted on the borehole or trial pit records. These observations may not give an accurate indication of groundwaterconditions, for the following reasons:
Generally, peat probing is carried out using a Mackintosh Probe. The probe is pushed through the peat until resistance is met thenthe depth at which this occurred is recorded.

Boring
The standard method of boring in soil for ground investigation is known as the cable tool method. It uses various tools worked on awire cable, typically a shell in non-cohesive soils such as sand and gravel, and a clay cutter in cohesive soils such as clay. Verydense soils, boulders or other hard obstructions are disturbed or broken up by chiselling and the fragments removed with the shell.Where the ground conditions require, the borehole is lined with driven steel casings of such sizes that the bottom of the borehole isnot less than 125mm diameter.
Where there are constraints upon access, alternative methods of soft ground boring are available. However, each has limitationsthat need to be taken into account when assessing their suitability and the ground conditions inferred from their results.
Rotary Drilling
Rotary drilling is employed to extend ground investigation beyond the practical limit of cable tool boring in hard formations,commonly rock. Core drilling is used to obtain continuous intact samples of the formation and is generally undertaken with doubletube swivel type core barrels fitted with tungsten or diamond bits as appropriate to formation type and hardness. Open-hole rotarydrilling using tricone rock roller bits or tungsten insert drag bits, or down-the-hole hammers, is carried out where more limitedinformation is sufficient, strata identification being made from cuttings only. Open-hole rotary drilling methods may also beemployed for fast penetration of soils where detailed sampling is not required, prior to coring at depth. Air or water is the flushingmedium normally used with rotary drilling methods. Where the ground conditions require, the borehole is lined with inserted ordrilled-in casing.

The laboratory removes any material > 2mm prior to analysis. The quantity and nature of the material is shown as the secondary and additional matrix types in the above table.
Where a parameter cannot be determined in house it is our policy to use a UKAS/MCERTS accredited laboratory wherever possible. Terra Tek will assume responsibility for the quality of subcontracted tests and the performance of the subcontractor chosen. Where there is no known UKAS/MCERTS laboratory for a particular parameter, a laboratory listed within the Terra Tek Approved Subcontractors List, which is subject to performance assessment, will be selected.
Terra Tek are accredited for clay, sand and loam matrix types only, where they constitute the major component of the sample. Other coarse granular materials such as gravel, are not accredited where they comprise the major component of the sample.
Results are expressed on a dry-weight basis (samples dried at 30oC ± 5oC) except where stated.
