GROUNDWATER
Regulatory actions place much of the responsibility on industry to prevent groundwater impact, remediate
groundwater problems, and develop methods to prevent negative impacts to the groundwater regime. POTESTA
geologists, engineers, and environmental specialists are knowledgeable of existing legislation and regulatory
requirements for groundwater activities to meet the needs of both the general public and industry.
SITE EVALUATIONS
‘A thorough understanding of the groundwater system associated with a site is required to effectively and efficiently
‘complete a site evaluation. POTESTA will complete a background evaluation prior to on-site activities. Such
research allows a more efficient and detailed evaluation to result. A site evaluation may include methods such as
borehole drilling, Geoprobe™ push soils sampling, test pit excavation, geophysical testing of surface and
subsurface materials, monitoring well installation, groundwater sampling and chemical analysis, and soil
geotechnical exploration.
GROUNDWATER EVALUATIONS
‘An understanding of the physical and chemical character of groundwater is required to properly evaluate and
correct existing groundwater problems. Geologists and hydrogeologists at POTESTA can effectively evaluate
and offer remedial actions to mitigate groundwater problems. These specialists also maintain appropriate
knowledge of regulatory requirements needed to aid in prevention of impacts to groundwater, as well as aid
with maintaining appropriate industrial groundwater plans and reports. POTESTA can complete groundwater
evaluations and characterizations for residential water supply impacts, mine facilities, industrial groundwater
impact sites, waste disposal sites, hazardous waste site, leaking underground storage tank sites, and
contaminant source investigations.
GROUNDWATER MONITORING ACTIVITIES
The primary method to define and evaluate the degree of groundwater impact at a site is through proper
groundwater monitoring. The appropriate design and determination of proper sample protocol of a
‘groundwater monitoring system is a must to effectively meet the requirements established by most regulatory
actions. POTESTA’s professional staff have accumulated many years of design experience in varying
environmental conditions that will meet both industry and public monitoring requirements including industrial
and municipal solid waste sites, leaking underground storage tank sites, surface impoundments, and mine
sites.
HYDROGEOLOGICAL SITE EVALUATIONS
Projects such as mine sites, solid waste landfills, and large manufacturing facilities are required to evaluate
both the surface and subsurface conditions related to water flow and chemistry. Such evaluations often
dictate the design and location of surface facilities, stormwater flow, and surface impoundments. Various
study methods include the installation of temporary piezometers or permanent groundwater monitoring points,
use of surface and subsurface geophysical evaluation tools, soil evaluation pits and boreholes, core borings
for bedrock evaluation, and geological background evaluation.
REMEDIAL ACTION DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
POTESTA have the expertise to design and implement remedial plans and actions to correct environmental
impacts to soil and groundwater including aquifer restoration, leachate control and treatment, remediation
design and installation, groundwater modeling, and waste evaluation and disposal.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE & & & & |]
WETLANDS:
POTESTA has a qualified staff of scientists and engineers who are trained and experienced in the
identification and permitting of wetlands, the mitigation of displaced wetlands and the design of constructed
wetlands. Wetlands unique habitats can present problems regarding the development of properties, which
are protected by the Clean Water Act.
INVESTIGATION AND DELINEATION
Wetland investigations and delineations are conducted by POTESTA’s scientists as part of pre-development
site investigation and environmental impact assessments. During a wetland investigation, the site is
‘examined for the presence of wetland indicators, including specific hydrology, soils and vegetation, Any
wetlands discovered are delineated in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (1987) and appropriate regional supplement manual(s).
PERMITTING
Once wetlands have been identified and delineated, POTESTA can prepare application packages for permits
to fill and/or dredge these areas for further development. The U.S. Amy Corps of Engineers (COE) is the
agency responsible for granting wetland permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. In addition to the
COE permit, individual states must approve each permit granted, certifying that it meets the state’s water
quality standards.
Our employees have established working relationships with both the federal and state agencies in this region.
We are very familiar with the data required and can work with the agencies to obtain timely review and
issuance of permits.
MITIGATION AND DESIGN
Wetland mitigation and design come into play when
wetlands being displaced or filled are large enough to |
require mitigation under state and federal standards.
In some cases, wetland mitigation can be achieved
solely through the payment of a fee to a mitigation
bank or fund established for the creation, protection or
enhancement of other wetland areas. In this case,
POTESTA can prepare an appropriate mitigation offer
and negotiate with state and federal authorities for its
approval.
Depending upon the availability of suitable sites,
wetland mitigation can also consist of the actual design
and construction of new wetlands, or the enhancement
of existing wetlands. Our staff includes qualified
engineers experienced in the design of created
wetlands. Working as a team with staff biologists, we
can produce a cost-effective functional design for
presentation to state and federal authorities. Once
approved, we can provide construction monitoring of
the new wetlands.

BIOLOGICAL AND TOXICOLOGICAL
Biological assessments and surveys are increasingly being used in both terrestrial and aquatic systems to
develop regulations, monitor compliance, and indicate the effectiveness of environmental programs.
Toxicological testing and biological monitoring are often included as permit requirements or used during
negotiations. In many cases, biological assessments can be used to negotiate alternatives to permitting
requirements or to satisfy regulatory agencies that no environmental damage is occurring. Biological and
toxicological assessments may be used to demonstrate the success of endpoints in remediation, recovery,
and restoration projects, POTESTA scientists’ diverse backgrounds complement our engineering team to

‘The Webster County Landfill is located
approximately 3.5 miles southwest of Webster
Springs, West Virginia. The landfill reportedly
consists of approximately 2.0 acres of waste
disposal area according to the West Virginia
Department of Environmental Protection,
Landfill Closure Assistance Program (WVDEP,
LCAP). Issues at the landfill include leachate
seeps discharging to surface water drainways,
improper slopes across a portion of the landfill,
lack of proper surface water management
devices, the existing cell, cap, and

Potesta & Associates, Inc. (POTESTA) has been
retained by the West Virginia Department of
Environmental Protection (WVDEP) through the
Landfill Closure Assistance Program (LCAP)to provide
services relative to the closure of the former City of
Kingwood solid waste landfill located north of
Kingwood, Preston County, West Virginia. Services
include surveying, subsurface exploration (soil boring,
rock coring, piezometer installation, and test pit
excavations), leachate and surface water sampling, site
reconnaissance, and development of conceptual site
plans for potential closure actions. Given the historic
use of the site had been a surface mine prior to its use as a landfill and based on the results of
POTESTA’s field portion of services, POTESTA prepared conceptual level plans to a level of detail
needed to compare two alternatives, both involving excavation of material within the encountered
limits of waste to a depth necessary to collect and convey leachate, with the following further steps:

Cap the existing landfill by raising the
existing delineated landfill to support the
required engineered cap thickness and the
hauling of the generated leachate to the
local WWTP.

= Placement of solid waste material within
the limits of existing landfill and the
creation of anew landfill on-site, complete
with applicable liner and cap, and
conveying the leachate system to the local
WWTP through a sewer line extension
including multiple lift stations.
Based on the anticipated quantities of solid waste excavation and the remote location of the site, it
was determined by LCAP that the most effective landfill closure plan would be to cap the existing
landfill and haul the generated leachate. POTESTA was hired to complete a construction drawing
and technical specification package for the capping of the existing 8-acre landfill. The design also
includes a leachate collection system consisting of a leachate storage tank and truck loadout facility.

Baker Natural Gas Production) — Provided technical study
and file review of case documents related to the grading
contractor’s construction work efforts to prepare @ well
pad for the installation of a seties of horizontal gas,
production wells in Marshall County, West Virginia, The
work included the removal of soil and rock from and
existing hilltop. ‘The resulting material was placed or
‘wasted in series of three side hill files along the edges of
the resulting well pad. All three of these fills experienced
progressive and ongoing failures following the
construction effort. Reviewed design documents,
construction records, and details related to several repair
attempts to result in the development of a professional
opinion related to the various factors contributing to the
multiple slope failures.
Nationwide Trial Division/Khan & Wheeler (Ross v.
WVAW Landslide Case) — Provided professional opinion
related to the formation of a slope failure along the Elk
River immediately behind several commercial and
residential homes near the Town of Elkview, West
Virginia. The initial landslide occurred immediately
following a main waterline break along the front of the
structures. The regressive and prolonged failure
continued over several weeks and ultimately damaged a
gravity sanitary line as well a several of the structures.
Work included an extensive review of several years of
case records provided for the case including a review of
existing utility maintenance records, historic climatologic
data, river stage information and depositional testimony
from many of the affected parties. A summary of
profession opinion report was prepared describing a
number of factors including lack of maintenance storm
culverts in the area as well as an increase of saturation
along the slope from the failed water main as the cause of
the slide. It was determined that several of the structures
‘were supported on previously placed fill material which
‘was placed along the river bank in the early 1900’s in
conjunction with the initial roadway construction. This,
coupled with the lack of maintenance and presence of
deteriorated drainage culverts likely contributed to the
slope failure. ‘The initial installation of this fill material
was determined through an extensive study of the historic
topographic mapping of the area.
Responsible for development of geotechnical and
geological recommendations as well as development of
stabilization designs for many failed soil/rock slopes in
West Virginia, This work included initial site
reconnaissance visits, development of a subsurface
exploration study and materials testing program,
evaluation of stabilization alternatives, and construction
plan preparation,
‘Travelers Insurance/City of Charleston — Project included
a subsurface exploration study, engineering design, and
global stability evaluation of a failed soil slope in a
residential neighborhood on Bona Vista Drive for the City
of Charleston, West Virginia. The slide was caused by a
water main break along an existing residential
neighborhood paved roadway. The recommended slope
stabilization method was to install a soldier beam and
lagging retaining wall along an existing paved roadway
(supporting the buried utilities) with the remainder of the
failed slope below being removed and replaced with
compacted soil backfill.
Stone Energy Pribble Tank — Work included the
exploration and study of a failed soil/weathered rock
slope which was loaded through the placement of fill near
the top of the slope to provide adequate area for the
construction of 2- 2,400,000-gallon water storage tanks in
New Martinsville, West Virginia, Shortly following the
installation of the tanks, a large section of the hillside
failed leaving one of the tank foundation partially
unsupported. Following the subsurface exploration and
drilling work, a stabilization plan was developed which
included the removal of the failed soil mass (50,000 CY)
followed by the replacement of compacted soil material
behind a large toe key and buttress. The repair also
included surface diversion drainage ditches and numerous
bond benches along the underlying rock line which were
fitted with under drains to collected subsurface seepage.

County, West Virginia. The slide location was remote
and situated along a steep hillside. The stabilization plan
recommended the use of soil nail technology due to the
remote location and rather inaccessible nature of the
location. ‘This repair and stabilization technique allowed
for the in-situ repair of the failed slope without extensive
excavation and backfill which was deemed difficult and
‘would have required more land disturbance resulting in
additional slope stability concerns.
EQT Rockport #7244 Natural Gas Storage Well Pad -
Project involved the assessment and — repair
recommendations. for a section of failed fill slope
immediately below existing and active natural gas storage
‘well near the community of Rockport in Jackson County,
West Virginia. ‘The failed slope was caused by improper
surface drainage control along the pad and access road.
The stabilization plan included the excavation and
removal of the failed slope following “shut-in” of the
storage well. The upper failure scarp was situated
immediately adjacent the well head which was protected
during the stabilization work. Following installation of a
rock toe buttress and key way, the failed soil’material was
amended using lime to reduce the moisture content which
‘was required to achieve the recommended in place density
during placement and compaction. Following the
regrading effort, the slope was trimmed and seeded
followed by the grading a several diversion and collection
ditched to control runoff from the upper portion of the
hillside below the well pad.
City of Charleston — Geotechnical assessment and
development of regrading construction plans for the repair
of a failed soil slope below Grandview Drive for the City
of Charleston, West Virginia. The slope failure occurred
between two adjacent residential structures and
encompassed a sanitary sewer main as well as a storm
drainage pipe receiving storm drainage from Grandview
Drive. The stabilization plan involved the removal of the
failed mass beginning at the toe of the slope and then
working progressively upslope to result in a stabilized and
rograded slope surface. The work required the removal of
all failed material to the underlying rock surface and
included the installation of a shot rock toe buttress which
‘was installed along a natural topographic beach near the
toc. Following completion of the work the affected
utilities were installed either below the fill material or
outside the regraded slide area

Potesta & Associates, Inc.
recommendations for a failed soil slope which impacted a
critical haulroad utilized by the quarry operator to move
raw shot rock material from the quarry to the crusher at
the aggregate plant in Rowlesburg, West Virginia. ‘The
landslide occurred because of the failure of a cross
drainage culvert in the haulroad. The failed soil mass was
removed to the underlying bedrock and following
installation of a stone toe buttress and toe key, the
‘material was blended with aggregate material from the
plant and placed in compacted lifts. The underlying rock
surface was excavated to result in a series of “bond
benches” allowing for the installation of underdrains
below the compacted fill to collect groundwater and
seepage from the underlying rock. This prevented
saturation of the fill material.
