Hunters Point Shipyard Parcel F ESTCP Demonstration Plan

Appendix A: Quality Assurance Project Plan

Health and Safety Officer, Project QA Manager, and NFESC DoD Contracting Officer’s Representative.

He is responsible for ensuring that communication of all decisions, which impact field or laboratory

activities, are dispatched in real time. He is responsible for responding to QA reports and either

implementing or requiring corrective action to address systematic problems. He communicates directly

with the ESTCP Environmental Restoration Program Manager and the Navy RPM to coordinate activities

and enforce schedules and deadlines.

Ms. Glynis Foulk of Tetra Tech is the Project Health and Safety Officer (HSO). She is responsible for

reviewing the project Health and Safety Plan (HASP), ensuring that the field personnel have received

appropriate health and safety training for work at the study site, and that the training is documented. She

may also conduct inspections during field operations. She reports issues and concerns directly to the

Project Manager and has the authority to stop work.

Ms. Yeo-Myoung Cho is the Project QA Manager. She is responsible for reviewing the QAPP to ensure

that all elements are addressed in adequate detail and must approve the final version. She ensures that

project reviews are conducted frequently enough to ensure that the work is being conducted according to

the QAPP and SOPs, and that corrective action plans are implemented to address any deficiencies identi-

fied. She reports the results of these oversight activities to the Project Manager. She is authorized to stop

work if data quality or staff safety is threatened. She ensures that all SOPs cited in the QAPP are

approved and available, and that appropriate training is documented for team members. She verifies that

adequate forms and labels are designed for the sampling and analysis effort. She reviews chain of custody

(COC) forms to verify that custody is maintained, and conducts field and laboratory inspections as

appropriate to ensure that the QAPP is implemented. She prepares reports of inspections and audits, and

communicates findings to the Project Manager. Ms. Cho will also serve as Physicochemical Studies

Leader. In this role, she will be responsible for assessment of proposed carbon application by AEI and

CEI, deployment of semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMDs), analysis of sediment PCB

concentrations, and analysis of aqueous equilibrium PCB concentrations.

Dr. Upal Ghosh, an Assistant Professor at University of Maryland Baltimore County, will serve as

Resuspension Studies Leader. He is responsible for carrying out field water quality tests that will assess if

PCB resuspension occurs as a result of mixing the AC into the sediment. He will also conduct laboratory

tests that assess the change in PCB availability for desorption to the aqueous phase after treatment. He

will implement these tests in coordination with the Project Manager. Dr. Ghosh will be present to assist

with and oversee the proper deployment of the two remediation technologies that will be tested at Hunters

Point. Dr. Ghosh will assist with the evaluation of the technologies. Dr. Ghosh and his team at UMBC

will also assist with technology scale-up and cost estimation for full-scale application. Dr. Ghosh will

assist in preparing the ESTCP Cost and Performance Report, ESTCP Final Technical Report, and will be

available to make presentations to the user community, regulatory community, and industry.

Dr. Todd S. Bridges will represent USACE-ERDC and serve as Bioaccumulation Studies Leader. He is

responsible for carrying out field clam bioaccumulation tests that will assess whether the bioavailability

of PCBs is reduced by the mixing AC into sediments. He will coordinate and implement these tests in

coordination with the Project Manager.

Ms. Barbara Sugiyama will serve as DoD Contracting Officer’s Representative to help prepare the full

proposal and Phase II briefing. Ms. Sugiyama will take care of contract issues between Stanford and the

ESTCP office.

Mr. Lance Dohman will represent Aquatic Environments, Inc. (AEI) and serve as Mixing Technology A

Leader. He will be responsible for the mobilization, storage, and demobilization of the Aquamog, an

ARGO amphibious support vehicle, and auxiliary equipment to the demonstration site. He will supervise
