Introduction
Pace Analytical Services, Inc. was contracted by the 3M Company to re-collect surface water samples for the Port St. Lucie Multi-City Study. Initial sampling was conducted in July 1999 by Battelle and again in July 2000 by Pace Analytical Services. The January 2001 re-sampling event was conducted to confirm previous information obtained during the July 1999 and July 2000 events. The scope of work for the January event was broadened to include two additional quiet water locations, sediment samples from each location, and replicate water and sediment samples from each side of QWI. Onsite activities included investigating potential sources of fluorochemical entry into the QWI pond.
The sampling points of interest for the January 2001 event were: 1) the original quiet water pond (QWI) located near Martin County Marina at Mapp Rd and SW Chapman Way, 2) a small pond located near the intersection of Crossing and Matheson Avenue (QWII), and 3) a small pond located at Shady Lake and Matheson Avenue (QWIII). Refer to Figure 10 for area map. 3M personnel selected the QWII and QWIII sites in the field. The selection criteria for locating QWII and QWIII were primarily based on close proximity to QWI and sampling accessibility. The target analytes for this event were PFOS, PFOSA, POAA, PFHS, and TFA (fluorochemicals).
Emphasis was placed on quality control measures such as extensive field matrix spiking at multiple concentration levels, duplicate samples, and procedures to reduce possible contamination during field collection. The sampling was conducted according to the specifications set forth in the 3M General Project Outline (GPO), except as noted in the report section "Deviations to the GPO". A summary of the field observations can be found in Table 1. Sampling locations were recorded for future reference with GPS longitude and latitude coordinates.

Sampling Protocols
Equipment Preparation: The 1 liter NalgeneTM sample containers and the stainless steel sediment spatulas were rinsed with "Optima" grade methanol and DI (Type I water) prior to use. A new spatula was used for each pond sampled. However, for multiple sampling points within the same pond, the sediment spatulas were field decontaminated between samples by mechanical removal of visible contaminants followed by a thorough rinsing with methanol and Type I DI water. New nitrile gloves were worn at all times during the equipment preparation, sample collection and handling procedures. New gloves were donned with every change of sample location and/or sample matrix. Surface Water Samples: Samples were collected approximately 15 cm below the surface of the water by first submersing the sample container into the water. Then the container was uncapped, filled and recapped while continually submerged. This procedure was used to avoid capturing a possible concentrated surface film layer. Sediment Samples: Samples were collected using a stainless steel spatula attached to an extendable pole (Figure 1). The sediment samples were collected at each of the surface water sample locations. Approximately the top 2-4 centimeters of sediment were collected into the spatula. The spatula was then raised slowly to the surface to avoid loss of top sediment layer. Field Control Samples:
1. Field Blank Control Sample (FB): A sample container was filled with Type I DI water prior to project mobilization and labeled as FB-Filled. Another empty sample container was labeled as FB-Empty. The FB samples were exposed to the same conditions as the other samples, such as bottle preparation, sampling site conditions, storage, and shipping. One (1) FB set was required for this project. 2. Field Duplicate (FD): Each environmental sample was collected in duplicate. The duplicates were labeled with identical sample descriptions

except one was labeled with an ending identifier of "-K" for the 3M Environmental Laboratory and the other a "-C" for Centre Laboratory. Two blind duplicate samples ("K" and "C") were also collected for the water and sediment matrixes at QWI North. The identity of the blind duplicate location was withheld from the lab prior to analysis. 3. Field Matrix Spike (FMS) Quiet Water I East: Additional duplicate samples were collected for spiking from the QWI pond location which had been sampled in 1999 and 2000 (QWI East). Spiking for the QWI East location was done at two levels: 1 ppb and 25 ppb. These additional duplicate samples were identified as follows: a. QWI East-K-FMS-1 ppb Dup A and QWI East -K-FMS-1ppb Dup B b. QWI East -K-FMS-25 ppb Dup A and QWI East -K-FMS-25 ppb Dup B c. QWI East -C-FMS-1 ppb Dup A and QWI East -K-FMS-1ppb Dup B d. QWI East -C-FMS-25 ppb Dup A and QWI East -C-FMS-25 ppb DupB 4. Field Matrix Spike (FMS) New Locations: Two additional ponds were sampled for this monitoring event. The FMS samples for the new ponds were spiked at two levels: 200 ppt and 1 ppb. These additional samples were identified as follows, where the identifier was "QWII" for the quiet water II pond and "QWIII" for the quiet water III pond a. Identifier-K-FMS-200 ppt b. Identifier-K-FMS-1ppb c. Identifier-C-FMS-200 ppt d. Identifier-C-FMS-1ppb 5. Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS): Two sample containers were filled with Type I DI water. One was spiked at the 200 ppt level and the other at 1ppb. One FSCS set was prepared for this event. Note: spiking was performed at the end of the sampling day (see attached Figure 2). The 3M spiking instructions are attached within the GPO in Appendix A (Lisa Clemen).

Field Observations - Sampling
A summary of the field observations can be found in Table 1.
Quite Surface Water I: This is the original pond that was sampled in 1999 and 2000. The pond is relatively small and square in shape. The dimensions are approximately 56 yards X 55 yards, (see Figure 3). Water and sediment samples were collected at each of the four (4) sides of the pond. The water was fairly clear with some minnows present. A large fish, estimated to be around ten pounds, was also noted in the pond (see Figure 4). Styrofoam, plastic bags, cans and bottles were some of the litter noted in the water. A greenish film was also noted on the water surface (see Figure 5). Sediment samples were sandy with some small clams present.
A culvert was also noted running into the pond. The influent from this culvert created a tan to gray plume as it entered the pond (see Figure 6). The owner of the marina informed the onsite personnel that it had rained approximately an inch on January 22, 2001. Water samples from this plume were collected in duplicate.
The owner of the marina informed the sampling team that this pond used to be treated with herbicides to keep down algae growth. It was last treated about 1 years ago.
As noted in Figure 7, the Martin County Marina is in close proximity to the Quiet Water I pond. The rest of the area is primarily residential.

BACK TO MAIN
Quiet Water II: The quiet water pond II was approximately 39 yards long X 9 yards wide and had a water depth of about 2 - 3 feet. The pond is connected to several other ponds by means of a culvert system (see Figure 8). It is believed these ponds divert storm runoff to the river. There was some litter evident in the water. This pond is located in a residential area.
Quiet Water III: The quiet water pond III was approximately 257 yards long X 34 yards wide and was located within a "gated community". Onsite personnel gained access to the pond by obtaining permission from a member on the board of directors. The water was very green and had thick algae growth. (see Figure 9).

Field Observations - Area Investigation
Martin County Marina: Onsite personnel surveyed the area surrounding the Quiet Water I pond in an effort to determine the possible cause for elevated fluorochemical levels in the pond. Adjacent to the pond is the Martin County Marina. The marina had a large boat storage building and there was considerable boat maintenance, such as hull refinishing and painting, taking place on the concrete dock area outside the building. There was a solvent odor in the air. Also noted were drainage grates to the south and to the west of the storage building, and the area stormwater runoff may collect in the quiet water I pond.

Deviations from the GPO
The subsurface sampling device was not used for collecting the water samples. The surface water samples were collected manually by hand.
Prior to using the syringes, they were to be rinsed a minimum of three times from three separate vials of methanol (nine rinses). However, for the 1 ppb and 25 ppb Field Matrix Spikes (FMS), only one rinse per methanol bottle and milli Q water was performed (the syringe was rinsed three times instead of nine).
The 200 ppt spiking level was omitted for the quiet water I pond field matrix spike per Kris Hansen.
For the new ponds, only one location was sampled per pond instead of two. The quiet water I culvert sample was added.

Monitoring Location / Contact(s) Port St. Lucie, Florida
Test Objective The intent of this project is to confirm baseline information obtained during the July 29, 1999 Battelle sampling event, and the resampling done by Pace in July of 2000 at the quiet water pond in Palm City (Port St. Lucie). The results of the sampling and analysis will be used in the evaluation of the Multi-City Study. While on site make observations as to drainage culverts, building structures, and potential activities explaining relatively high fluorochemical content.
Target Analytes PFOS, PFOSA, POAA, PFHS, and TFA
Sampling Locations 1. Quiet Surface Water Palm City - Mapp Rd/SW Chapman Way Four locations (each side) of pond surface water and sediment 2. Several other ponds to be determined on-site Two locations per pond; surface water and sediment
Test Conditions Monitoring will be performed during daylight, dry weather conditions. Dry conditions must exist for at least 24 hours prior to sampling
Sampling Protocols Equipment Preparation: Duplicate samples will be collected; one set to be analyzed by Centre Analytical and another set to be analyzed by 3M. The 1 liter NalgeneTM sample containers will be methanol/DI (Type I water) rinsed prior to use. In cases where a transfer device such as a stainless steel bucket or scoop is required, field decontamination between samples types will include mechanical removal of visible contaminants followed by a thorough rinsing with methanol and Type I DI water. New nitrile gloves will be worn at all times during the sample collection and handling procedures. New gloves will be donned with every change of sample location and/or sample matrix. Subsurface Samples: Samples will be collected approximately 15 cm below the surface of the water by extending the subsurface sampling device with the sample container to an
Pace Analytical A-3

undisturbed area. The container will then be uncapped, filled and recapped while continually submerged.
Field Control Samples: 1. Field Blank Control Sample (FB): Fill a sample container with Type I water prior
to project mobilization and label as FB-Filled. Take one empty sample container and label as FB-Empty. Expose FB samples to the same conditions as the other samples such as bottle preparation, sampling site conditions, storage, and shipping. One (1) FB set is required for this project. 2. Field Duplicate (FD): Every sample will be collected in duplicate. Label with identical sample description except end with identifiers "-K " for one and "-C" for the other. Two blind duplicate water samples will be collected and submitted for analysis. The identification of the samples will be recorded by field personnel but the ID will be withheld from the lab prior to analysis. 3. Field Matrix Spike (FMS): Collect four (4) additional duplicate samples for spiking. Spiking is done at two levels: 200 ppt and 1 ppb, with the exception as noted below under "Exceptions". Each water type will therefore have the following spikes: a. Identifier-K-FMS-200 ppt b. Identifier-K-FMS-1ppb c. Identifier-C-FMS-200 ppt d. Identifier-C-FMS-1ppb Exceptions : For the Quiet Surface Water Palm City, IN ADDITION to the above FMS's, the samples will be spiked at a 25ppb level and the samples are to be collected in duplicate, that is: a. Identifier-K-FMS-1 ppb Dup A and Identifier-K-FMS-1ppb Dup B b. Identifier-K-FMS-25 ppb Dup A and Identifier-K-FMS-25 ppb Dup B c. Identifier-C-FMS-1 ppb Dup A and Identifier-K-FMS-1ppb Dup B d. Identifier-C-FMS-25 ppb Dup A and Identifier-C-FMS-25 ppb Dup B 4. Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS): Take two sample containers filled with Type I water and spike one at the 200 ppt level and the other at 1ppb. One FSCS set must be prepared for each day of sampling. Note: spiking will be performed at the end of the sampling day. Follow 3M spiking instructions attached. (Lisa Clemen)
Field Parameters: Sampling location latitude and longitude will be logged using a Garmin hand held GPS.
Special Precautions, QA/QC
Post-Its are not to be used or in the possession of field staff during any phase of the sample
handling, or in the mobilization/demobilization activities.
Field technicians will wear only old, well laundered clothing - at least 6 washings since
purchase. The use of water resistant clothing will be avoided if possible.
Tyvek suits will not be worn during sample handling. Nitrile gloves will be worn at all times while collecting and handling samples.

Field personnel will minimize contact with the following food and snack products:
microwave popcorn, fast-food (sandwiches, chicken, French fries) pizza, bakery items, beverages, candy, cookies etc. - are packaged in wrappers treated with the chemicals of interest. Therefore, hands will be washed thoroughly after handling fast food, carryout food, or snacks. Prewrapped foods or snacks (like candy bars) will not be in the possession of the sampling team during sample collection or handling.
No blue ice will be used during this project.
Confidentiality The following information MAY be revealed to municipal officials by Pace field personnel:
The samples are being collected and analyzed to support a life cycle analysis that is being
conducted for a confidential client.
The chemicals of interest are NOT listed as regulated pollutants or carcinogens by the EPA. Pace is contracted only to provide sampling services for this project and will not have
access to analytical test results. Only under extenuating circumstances would a disclosure of the results be requested of the client.
The following information MAY NOT be revealed to municipal officials by Pace field personnel:
Who the client is What chemicals we are looking for What the chemicals are used for What is the nature of the chemicals (chemical class or structure)
