Project Area Monitoring Plan. The purpose of the Project Area Monitoring Plan (PAMP) is to obtain baseline information regarding the extent of contamination in affected media at the Project Area; to obtain information, through short- and long- term monitoring, about the movement of and changes in contamination throughout the Project Area, before and during implementation of the RA; to obtain information regarding contamination levels to determine whether Performance Standards (PS) are achieved; and to obtain information to determine whether to perform additional actions, including further Site monitoring. The PAMP must include: Description of the environmental media to be monitored; Description of the data collection parameters, including existing and proposed monitoring devices and locations, schedule and frequency of monitoring, analytical parameters to be monitored, and analytical methods employed; Description of how performance data will be analyzed, interpreted, and reported, and/or other Site-related requirements; Description of verification sampling procedures; Description of deliverables that will be generated in connection with monitoring, including sampling schedules, laboratory records, monitoring reports, and monthly and annual reports to EPA and State agencies; and Description of proposed additional monitoring and data collection actions (such as increases in frequency of monitoring, and/or installation of additional monitoring devices in the affected areas) in the event that results from monitoring devices indicate changed conditions (such as higher than expected concentrations of the contaminants of concern or groundwater contaminant plume movement).
