4.2 Communication Pathways It is anticipated that RIDEM personnel will conduct all sampling activities for this project. The Project Manager will contact all potential sampling personnel via email at least one week before the anticipated sampling date. The Project Manager will be responsible for contacting all laboratories to order all necessary sampling containers and to alert the laboratory to incoming samples. It will be the responsibility of the laboratories to contact any sub-contractors. Sampling personnel will be alerted via email or telephone of the time and date of sampling and a �tailgate meeting� will be conducted at a predetermined location before sampling commences. Decisions to alter the sampling plan will be made jointly by the Project Manager/QA Officer and Supervisor and all changes made in the field will be documented in the field notes. All changes to the QAPP will be reported in each Status Report and the Final Report.

5.1 Project Planning Meetings Project scoping meetings were held to define the purpose and expected results of the project, the environmental decisions that need to be made and the sampling, analytical, and data assessment activities that will be performed. Each of the project scoping meetings are documented in EPA Worksheet No. 8a in Attachment A.

5.2 Problem Definition/Site History and Background Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires all states to monitor water quality conditions of the state�s waters, identify and list impaired waters and set priority rankings for all impaired waters included on the 303(d) list. RIDEM utilizes water quality information available from a variety of sources including data collected by state, federal and local agencies; universities; and volunteer monitoring organizations. The monitoring proposed in this QAPP would provide water quality information where data gaps occur. The 2000 303(d) List of Impaired Waters categorizes impaired water bodies into five groups. Waterbodies in Group 3 of RIDEM�s 303(d) list were assessed with total metals data, however, amendments to the Rhode Island Water Quality Regulations promulgated in 1997 express metals criteria as dissolved metals. Waterbodies in Group 4 consists of waterbodies that were based on insufficient data and/or data that is old. Additional

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 6.0 Project Description and Schedule The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that states assess their water quality for attainment of the fishable and swimmable goals of the CWA. The requirements of the 303(d) process help determine the scope of the Group 3 and 4 supplemental monitoring.

6.1 Project Overview Based on a review of existing studies conducted within Groups 3 and 4 of RIDEM�s 303(d) List of Impaired Waters, water quality data gaps were identified and the need for additional monitoring was established. The objective of this project is to provide additional monitoring data to characterize water quality conditions within these waterbodies. The Department will utilize the results of this sampling program during the water quality assessments for the 2004 cycle. Prior to the initiation of the 2004 assessments, the Department will develop and finalize a Consolidated Assessment and Listing Methodology (CALM), which will include public participation and EPA approval. This assessment and listing methodology will define the criteria and protocol which must be followed to determine the attainment of the individual designated uses for each waterbody/segment. This information will then be used to place each waterbody/segment into one of the 5 new Listing Categories identified in EPA�s Integrated Report Guidance (EPA, 2001). As EPA has noted the new listing categories are intended to present the water quality standard attainment status for every waterbody and to develop a 303(d) List of waters truly in need of a TMDL. The change over to a new assessment methodology and the use of five new listing categories may result in moving some of the Group 3 and 4 waterbodies/segments from our current 303(d) List (Category 5 under the Integrated Report guidelines) to one of the other Categories. The contaminants of concern and other target analytes are listed in EPA Worksheet No. 9b, provided in Attachment A. Field and quality control samples are summarized in Section 8.1 and Tables 6 and 7 and the laboratory analytical services information are summarized in EPA Worksheet 9d, provided in Attachment A.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 7.0 Project Quality Objectives and Measurement Performance Criteria

7.1 Project Quality Objectives The data generated from this project will be used by RIDEM to assess the current water quality conditions of the State�s 2000 303(d) Group 3 and Group 4 waterbodies for the parameters of concern. All the data quality objectives will be met if the data collected is sufficient to complete the assessments. RIDEM water quality criteria for metals have been adopted as dissolved metals criteria to more closely approximate the bioavailable fraction of metal in the water column. The freshwater acute and chronic criteria for dissolved metals are presented as Freshwater Criteria Equations and Base e Exponential Values in Appendix B, Table 2 of the Water Quality Regulations (RIDEM,1997). Hardness is a component of the equation and must be determined. It should be noted that the minimum hardness value allowed for use in those equations is 25 mg/L, as calcium carbonate, even if the actual ambient hardness is less than 25 mg/L as calcium carbonate. For these reasons, all samples collected for this study will be analyzed for dissolved metals and hardness.

7.2 Measurement Performance Criteria Collecting high quality data is one of the most important goals of this project. Specific data quality objectives include precision, accuracy, representativeness, comparability, and completeness. Measurement performance criteria are briefly presented below and are also found on EPA Worksheet No. 11b in Attachment A. Precision Precision is the degree of agreement among repeated measurements of the same characteristic under the same or similar conditions. The QC sample used to measure overall precision will consist of field duplicates and/or on-going precision and recovery (OPR) samples. Accuracy/Bias Accuracy is the extent of agreement between an observed value (sample result) and the true value of the parameter being measured. Bias describes the systematic or persistent error associated with a measurement process. These terms are used interchangeably in this document. The QC samples used to measure accuracy/bias will consist matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate, standard reference material (SRM), method blanks, and/or reagent blanks. Representiveness The selected stations and sampling frequency were chosen for their representativeness of conditions in the targeted waterbodies. The extent to which the measurements represent actual environmental conditions will be somewhat restricted by the time of year the samples are.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 Comparability To maximize the quality of the data collected, and to collect data that is comparable with other studies, accepted sampling procedures will be used during this study. All samples collected will be sent to laboratories that use standard methods. Sample collection locations will be documented in the field book using narratives, direct measurements using a calibrated tape, and/or global positioning satellites (GPS) to ensure data comparability for repeated sampling events. Completeness If the data collected is sufficient to complete the water quality assessments, then the data is considered to be complete. Measurement performance criteria help determine the completeness of a data set. RIDEM anticipates that 100 percent of the data will be useable for the project goals to be met. 8.0 Sampling Process Design This section describes the sampling system in terms of what media/matrices will be sampled, where the samples will be taken, the number of samples to be taken and the sampling frequency.

8.1 Sampling Design Rationale The media to be sampled will consist of surface water from selected waterbodies that are listed in Group 3 and 4 of the Rhode Island 2000 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. The objectives of the study are to: 1. To assess compliance with RIDEM water quality criteria for water bodies and

associated parameters listed in Group 4 and to investigate the trophic status of these waterbodies;

2 . To document baseline dissolved metal concentrations in Group 3 waters and assess these results for compliance with RIDEM dissolved metals criteria; and

3. To assist the RIDEM Water Quality Assessments Programs with the total maximum daily load (TMDL) prioritization process by providing them with current monitoring data to either verify the need for TMDL development and provide baseline data or help make the case for de-listing those waters determined to be in compliance with RIDEM ambient water quality criteria.

Sampling of the Group 3 waterbodies will occur quarterly for one year, will begin in the Winter of 2001, and will be conducted during steady state conditions. Sample station locations, number of samples collected, and number of QA/QC samples collected for metals analysis are summarized in Table 6.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002

Approximately 52 samples will be collected over the 4 surveys, a duplicate sample will be collected from one of the stations during each of the surveys (4 duplicate samples over the 4 surveys), and a field blank will used during each of the surveys (4 field blanks over the 4 surveys). Including the QA/QC samples, approximately 60 samples will be brought to the laboratory for metals analysis during this study. In addition, each of the samples will be analyzed for hardness.

For those waterbodies listed in Group 4 for pathogens, sampling will be conducted monthly from June to October, inclusive. Sampling for the remaining parameters of the Group 4 waterbodies will be conducted during the Spring and Fall of 2002 to capture turnover events, and during the Summer of 2002 to capture potential stratification events, all during steady state conditions. Sample station locations, number of samples collected, and number of QA/QC samples collected for the Group 4 waterbodies are summarized in Table 7. Table 7 Group 4 sampling locations and parameters.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 Approximately 12 samples will be collected for nutrient analysis. The two stations will be sampled at the surface of the waterbody and just above the bottom sediments. A duplicate sample will be collected and a field blank will be used during each of the 3 surveys. Two stations will be sampled for chlorophyll a analysis over 3 surveys with a duplicate collected for each of the surveys. Four stations will be sampled for pathogens analysis and a duplicate sample will be collected for each of the 5 surveys. It should be noted that a sample will be collected from each of the ponds making up the Three Ponds complex during each survey. A sample for the analysis of chloride will be collected from the Print Works Pond on a quarterly basis. A duplicate sample will be collected and a field blank used for each of the surveys. Quarterly samples will be collected from the Wood River segment for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and a duplicate sample will be collected and a field blank used for each of the surveys. A brief description of sampling activities is presented below. In addition, the waterbodies listed in Group 4 will be monitored for temperature and dissolved oxygen profiling and secchi depth measurements. A more detailed sampling standard operating procedure (SOP) for the collection of metals is presented in Attachment B and is entitled, "Manual (Grab) Sampling of Ambient Water for Dissolved and/or Total Recoverable Trace Metals at EPA Water Quality Criteria Levels (SOP-FS02)." The SOPs for the collection of the Group 4 waterbody samples are presented in Appendix B and are entitled, �FSOP-1 Nutrient and chloride sampling SOP�, �FSOP-2 Fecal coliform sample collection �SOP� and �FSOP 3 Hand-Dip Sampling for the Collection of Surface Water for the Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds�.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 10.0 Sample Handling, Tracking, and Custody Requirements

10.1 Sample Collection Documentation This section describes field documentation procedures that will be followed for the project.

10.1.1 Field Notes Sample teams will utilize either field notebooks or field log sheets to record relevant information prior to and during sampling events to include the following minimum information: Time of arrival at site, related site sketches, and general observations/comments. A copy of a blank field sheet is presented in Attachment E. Field notebooks will contain the same information as the field log sheets.

10.2 Sample Handling and Tracking System Immediately prior to collecting each sample, the sample label will be filled out completely using a permanent marker. All samples will be placed in a cooler with ice immediately after the sample is collected. For the metals samples, ice will be packed twice into large ziplock bags sealed further with duct tape. Due to the very low detection limits (sub-ppb) for the metals analysis and the possibility of cross contamination, Microinorganics, Inc. recommends not using labels. Sample identification will be written on the sample bottle and a zip-lock bag using permanent marker. The sample bottle will be placed in the zip-lock bag and sealed, immediately after sampling. Samples will be placed in a cooler with ice immediately after sampling and delivered to the laboratory the same day or within 24-hours of being collected. All bacteria samples will be placed in a cooler with ice immediately after sampling and will be delivered within six hours. If, for unseen circumstances, the samples can not be delivered to the laboratory within six hours, it will be noted on the chain-of-custody. All samples will be transported to the laboratory under proper chain-of-custody protocol. A copy of a blank Microinorganics, Inc., BAL Laboratory, Inc, URI Watershed Watch Program and ESS Laboratory chains-of-custody are presented in Appendix F. The flow of samples from the time of collection, to laboratory delivery, to final sample disposal is summarized in Table 11.

Title: RIDEM 303(d) Supplemental Monitoring Program (Groups 3 and 4) Revision No.: 1

Revision Date: February 2002 15.0 Documentation, Records, and Data Management All samplers will be given either a field notebook or log sheets. The monitoring plan will be given out when each sampler collects their equipment and includes specific information on what needs to be recorded on these sheets. All log sheets will be given to the field leaders at the conclusion of sampling. Initials on these sheets will identify the sampler. The Project Manager will review the sheets within three days to identify any possible errors or omissions. The Project manager will try to contact all samplers to identify any problems or additional feedback that would make any future sampling easier. The Project Manager or designee will transport the samples to the appropriate laboratory(ies). The samples and chain of custody forms will be checked at the laboratory during sample check in. A copy of the chain of custody form will be retained by RIDEM when the samples are dropped off at the laboratory. After analysis is complete, the analytical results will be forwarded to RIDEM. After each sampling event, a brief Status Report will be written to document any changes to the Monitoring Plan. All information collected throughout the project will be summarized in the Final Data Report. Information included in the Final Data Report is described in Section 17.0. Table 15 summarizes the records that will be generated and maintained throughout this project.
