OEPA Request for Additional
Investigation
OEPA letter to DuPont dated October
2003
Objective: - Better understand the range ofC8
concentrations in surface soil and shallo groundwater, and how these concentratio change over time
Proposed Additional Investigation in O -Little Hocking and Porterfield Areas
Establish 8 locations for surface soil sampling in the
areas based on results of air and grouindwater mode Install 4 new shallow groundwater monitoring wells
the LHWA to monitor shallowest portion of aquifer
Sample quarterly in conjunction with production we
sampling.

Proposed Additional Investigation on -Little Hocking and Porterfield Are DuPont Suggested Modifications
Establish 8 locations for surface soil sampling in these areas b
results of air and groimdwater modeling:
- Two sampling events will be conducted, one directly after inch rain event, the other after 5 days of no precipitation. each event, the following samples will be collected:
Foliage layer sample (grass and root zone) Surface soil sample (depth interval to be determined) Install 4 new shallow groundwater monitoring wells within th
to monitor shallowest portion of aquifer. Sample quarterly in conjunction with production well sampling.
Path Forward
Execute MOU covering GIST
recommendations
Gain agreement on OEPA proposal an
DuPont suggestions
Propose the additional testing (OEPA
proposal and DuPont suggestions) at t
ECA process on December 9

Air Permit Status
Four permits cover APFO sources Each permit has been modified to place AP
emission limits on each emitting unit Emission limits are hourly and annual Emission limits were confirmed via air dis
modeling to assure annual ambient air concentrations below 1 ug/m3 at fence line Future changes must not exceed the same f line limit, demonstrated by modeling
Permit modifications effective November 2 Emission limits will be included in Title V
Additional Air Reduction Prog
Continuing operational upgrades to fi
existing scmbbers
- mstrumentation, interlocks, operating conditions
May, 2004 startup of additional filter
scmbbers on four existing scrubbers
- builds on technology recently developed scrubber at Washington Works
- testing of potentially more efficient filte

Air Sampling Strategy
Measure ambient air levels 24-hour sampling duration
Seven (7) sampling events scheduled ov
weeks
Vary day of week to capture variations i
operations (none expected) and variation meteorology Record site-specific meteorological and operational data
Momtoring Strategy: Samples taken every 6 days
