This document comprises the "Final Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Report, Years 5 and 6" for Site 17, Former Building 32, Gould Island, Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. It details the long-term monitoring (LTM) activities conducted in accordance with groundwater and soil remedies, including synoptic water level gauging and groundwater purging/sampling. The report presents findings from LTM events 13-16, compares results to cleanup goals, evaluates constituent concentrations for optimization, provides recommendations for LTM program optimization, and outlines an exit strategy.

• Monitoring Period: Years 5 and 6 (2022-2023).
• Findings: Groundwater flow is generally north in both bedrock and overburden aquifers. Target VOCs and PCBs were not detected above Project Action Levels (PALs). PAHs were detected below PALs. Pentachlorophenol (PCP) was detected in one sample below the remedial goal. Arsenic and manganese were detected above PALs, with arsenic potentially attributed to high turbidity.
• Trend Analysis: Mann-Kendall trend analysis indicated overall decreasing trends for manganese and benzo(a)pyrene, with some wells showing increasing trends.
• Recommendations: No immediate changes to the LTM program are recommended, but future optimization is possible. The Navy will discuss findings with the EPA and RIDEM.
• Appendices/Attachments: Includes graphs of historical contaminant concentrations (PCBs, Metals), well construction logs, groundwater contour maps, inorganic analysis data sheets, and quality control data (calibration verification, LOD/MDL).

This comprehensive report provides detailed historical and current environmental monitoring data for Site 17. Bidders interested in environmental remediation, groundwater monitoring, site closure, or compliance services at NAVSTA Newport will find this data crucial for understanding the site's hydrogeological conditions, contaminant levels, historical trends, analytical methodologies, and regulatory context. The information is essential for assessing project scope, developing cost estimates, and formulating proposals for related opportunities.
