SCS Proposal No. 16047204
Mr. Gerald Robinson
Solid Waste Superintendent
City of Port Arthur
444 4tb Street
Port Arthur, Texas 77640
Subject: Proposal for Groundwater Monitoring Services
For the City of Port Arthur Landfill
Dear Mr. Robinson:
In response to the City's recent request, SCS Engineers (SCS) is pleased to present this proposal for
continuing to provide groundwater monitoring services for the City of Port Arthur Landfill
(Landfill). SCS has appreciated the opportunity to provide groundwater monitoring services thus
far, and we look forward to continuing this business relation with the City.
SCS is a highly qualified national provider of a full range of solid waste services. In May of this
year, the Engineering News Record ranked SCS as the Number One consulting firm in the United
States providing solid waste services. We believe we are particularly well-suited to continue to
provide groundwater monitoring services to the City of Port Arthur for the following reasons:
Successful Completion of Groundwater Monitoring during 2004. SCS has conducted two
groundwater monitoring events at the Landfill thus far, in January and July of 2004. This work
experience added to SCS' overall knowledge of the site and its groundwater monitoring system,
increasing our capability to provide high-quality, cost-effective services. Like all the landfills for
which we provide groundwater services, the City's landfill has certain issues with the groundwater
data. For example, SCS groundwater monitoring has been successful in reducing problems
associated with VOC occurrences and metals detections. Since SCS is intimately familiar with the
site, we will continue to manage these issues in a manner that will translate to significant value
including reducing the cost of regulatory compliance.
Successful Completion of Permitting Projeca SCS' experience with developing the site
hydrogeologic characterization of the site as a part of the City's Landfill permitting project has
resulted in new understanding and knowledge of site hydrogeology, coordinating very well with site
groundwater monitoring. As you know, our permit amendment application has been considered
'?Technically Complete" and the draft permit has been finalized. We anticipate issuance of the
permit amendment in the near future. This allows SCS to provide highly focused, cost-effective
groundwater monitoring services in the context of a full-service firm with current, extensive
knowledge of the site.

Offices Nationwide ~
Expertise of Project Team. We will continue to use the same project team for the City's
groundwater monitoring project. Jim Lawrence, P.G., will serve as the project manager; Kevin
Yard, P.E., engineer-of-record for the landfill expansion project, will provide technical support, as
needed. Other support staff includes SCS' trained field technicians and other geologists and
engineers. Our project team will continue to work closely with the City in managing your
groundwater monitoring program.
Credibility with TCEQ. Through our active involvement in a broad variety of solid waste projects,
we remain up-to-date and knowledgeable regarding the state's regulatory processes. In particular,
we are actively involved in reviewing and commenting on the changes being proposed to the solid
waste regulations by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). We have been
requested by the TCEQ to serve on various stakeholder committees. In representing our clients and
striving to improve the solid waste regulatory programs, we have recently provided commentary to
various regulatory programs, including proposed changes to the TCEQ's groundwater monitoring
regulations.
Innovative Solution& In the course of performing various landfill expansion projects, our project
team has worked together in solving various regulatory and technical issues. As indicated in our
Scope of Services, we will work closely with the City staff in managing this project to ensure
success. In similar situations where we have become involved with a landfill's groundwater
monitoring, SCS has brought innovative solutions which have saved clients significant costs.
Ability to Achieve Timely Completion of All Task& SCS employs more than 470 individuals in 35
offices nationwide, including two offices in Texas. SCS is an employee-owned firm specializing in
solid waste management. Our employee ownership is a key ingredient to our commitment to client
service. SCS has built a reputation of client service in Texas by providing on-time services of the
highest quality at landfills and other solid waste facilities throughout Texas for over ten years.
We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of the City's Landfill. Given
our familiarity with the City's groundwater program, our understanding of how the groundwater
program inter-relates with various other aspects of the landfill, and our commitment to the further
success of the City's solid waste program, SCS is well-positioned to continue to provide
groundwater monitoring services for the City. We look forward to discussing this with you at your
convenience and to continue our relationship with the City of Port Arthur.

1.0 PROJECTBACKGROUND
The Port Arthur Landfill has eight Subtitle D groundwater monitoring wells. Monitoring wells
MW-1 and MW-2 are located upgradient. The other wells are generally downgradient and/or
possibly sidegradient. All of the existing monitoring wells in the approved groundwater monitoring
system are located downgradient of the closed Site 0009, immediately adjacent to the cast. The
groundwater monitoring system was certified in April, 1996 with the eight wells. Monitoring wells
MW-1 through MW-6 were installed in 1987 and MW-7 and MW-8 were installed in 1996. Details
are presented in Table 1.
Background monitoring for all wells consisted of eight sampling events conducted from March,
1996 to July, 1997. Semi-annual detection monitoring was initiated in January, 1998 and has
continued through the present.
Background monitoring for all wells consisted of eight sampling events conducted from March
1996 to July 1997. Semi-annual detection monitoring was initiated in January 1998 and has
continued through the present. The list of constituents includes 15 inorganics and 47 organics.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
This scope of work covers a three-year period, and includes six events from January 2004 through
July 2006. These six tasks are detailed below.
Task 1 - January 2005 Detection Groundwater Monitorin~ Event
This task has four pa~ts, as described below: field sampling, laboratory analysis, reporting, and
statistical analysis.
Field Sampling
A qualified field technician will sample the wells in acoordanee with the site GWSAP and current
practice. The technician will be instructed in the site GWSAP and applicability to the site. Each
well will be inspected for condition and observations will be documented. Field measurements
including water level, pH, specific conductivity, and temperature will be made using equipment
supplied by SCS. Each well will then be purged in accordance with the GWSAP. Wells will then
be sampled. Samples will be packaged and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory Analysis
SCS will oversee all laboratory-related activities for the project. SCS will coordinate with the
laboratory (lab) prior to sampling to order the appropriate sample containers. At, er sampling is
complete, SCS will be responsible for proper delivery to the lab. SCS will monitor the progress of
sample testing, and address lab issues as they arise.
Reporting
SCS will compile a report of test results for TCEQ as required by 30 TAC 330.234(e). The Texas
Page Ones (Form 0312) will first be submitted to the City for signature. The data will be merged
into a pre-existing electronic database that contains all Subfifle-D groundwater monitoring data
obtained at the site. The City will be informed of any significant developments that are observed at
this stage of data review. The drat~ report cover letter will be submitted to the City for review and
comment prior to submittal to TCEQ. The final report will be submitted to TCEQ within 45 days of
sampling, in accordance with 30 TAC 330.234(e). An electronic copy of the event results will be e-
mailed as required by the TCEQ. SCS will submit two copies of the final report to TCEQ-Austin,
one copy to the TCEQ regional office, and two copies to the City.
Statistical Analysis
SCS will conduct a statistical analysis as required by 30 TAC 330.234(d) in order to compare the
sampling event results to past events. We anticipate continuing to use the well-acoepted Sanitas®
software to conduct the analysis, for which the City of Port Arthur owns a site license. TCEQ solid
waste staff are familiar with this sol, ware; SCS personnel have attended Sanitas® training side-by-
side with TCEQ personnel. SCS staff have utilized this statistical so,ware for numerous Texas
landfills.
The City will be consulted regarding any significant results that are observed in the course of the
statistical analysis. A draft letter summarizing the statistical analysis results will be submitted for
City review and comment. The final report will be submitted to TCEQ within 60 days of sampling,
in accordance with 30 TAC 330.234(d). SCS will submit two copies of the final report to TCEQ-
