Act (RCRA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and Clean Water Act (CWA). ACZ has <br />developed a quality assurance plan (QAP) that addresses quality assurance and quality <br />control objectives, policies, and procedures determined to be necessary to meet the <br />requirements of the EPA, federal government entities, state agencies, other regulatory <br />authorities, and clients. The QAP provides necessary guidelines to ensure all ACZ <br />employees have sufficient knowledge and training to perform their job responsibilities in <br />a manner that ensures that data reported is accurate, reliable, technically sound, legally <br />defensible, and impartial. ACZ utilizes six elements as a foundation of the QAP, and <br />they are the following: documents and records, standard operating procedures, training, <br />audits, corrective actions, and management review of the QAP. <br />We also take the following sampling measures to verify data quality: <br />Duplicates: Two samples are collected at the site. The containers are filled bottle for <br />bottle for each sample. Duplicate samples are identified in such a manner that their true <br />site identity is not obvious to the laboratory. The identification of these samples is <br />logged into the field notes to insure that the primary samples and duplicate samples are <br />correctly identified. <br />Field Blanks: The field blank sample is prepared by filling a set of 40 ml vial bottles <br />with distilled water in the field at a sampling site. The location is recorded in the field <br />notes. <br />(v) formations, aquifers or strata to be sampled; <br />Both wells will be completed in the B-Groove. <br />(vi) identify the potential sources of groundwater contamination that will be monitored by <br />each point of compliance monitoring point; <br />Potential sources of groundwater contamination could occur within the Mahogany zone <br />in the Colony mine pillars adjacent to the Electrofrac experiments. All wells will be <br />monitored for potential groundwater contamination. These two proposed B-Groove wells <br />are somewhat up-gradient of the Electrofrac experiments. Their primary purpose is to <br />measure water levels and provide data to evaluate the hydraulic gradient within the B- <br />Groove at this location. <br />(vii) a time-schedule for implementation; and <br />Monitoring will begin as soon as wells are completed. <br />(viii) ambient groundwater quality data sufficient to characterize potentially impacted <br />groundwater quality. <br />Ambient data have been collected monthly since June 2007 at the locations approved <br />under TR 11. Monthly data have been collected since December 2010 at locations <br />approved under TR 13. The analyses demonstrate stable groundwater quality at all <br />locations. <br />Operational Considerations: <br />M-1980-047 Technical Revision 14 Submittal Page 6
