2 LPRRP Remedial Investigation Performed by the Cooperating Parties Group Critical study to fully characterize site for selection of optimal remedies Dundee Dam Hudson River Saddle River RI Activities include: Sequential bathymetric surveys Sediment coring program Benthic and fish tissue collection Water column (physical and chemical) data collection Hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and chemical fate and transport models Lower Passaic River Arthur Kill Third River Second River Newark Bay Kill van Kull Hackensack River June 29, 21 Page 2
3 Sediment Stability Assessment Lines of evidence that must be considered in the evaluation of sediment stability in the LPR: Time trends in surface sediment COPC concentrations Patterns of deposition in the sediment bed Vertical patterns of COPC concentrations in sediment cores Especially for larger sites, a lines of evidence approach should be used to evaluate the extent of sediment and contaminant movement and resultant exposure for various areas of the water body. - EPA Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for Hazardous Waste Sites, 2.

Provides three markers for calculation of three sedimentation rates. B -- X X C X D Measurable peak, burial evident, but no onset. Only two markers for calculation of one sedimentation rate. May have little/no burial at the surface, but onset evident. One sedimentation rate can be calculated. Cs-137 may or may not be present. If present no pattern indicative of consistent deposition.

19 LRC provides important lines of evidence to support sediment stability evaluation The sediment bed has generally been stable over the past 4 years. Geomorphology and dredging history can explain sedimentation patterns The peak chemical concentrations are generally buried at depth and are most commonly at or below the 1963 sediment horizon. Surficial chemical concentrations are influenced by burial rate. High surficial chemical concentrations are observed at locations with low burial rate. Page 19
