USACE also noted that well Apple's groundwater monitoring well T8A had "two notches cut into the top of the well casing that would prevent it from being watertight." Groundwater aquifer A is only ~6 feet below ground. Not watertight = could enter & expand the plume...

TRW Site:
TI1e TRW site is located at what is now an Apple technology center The following monitoring wells were
observed:
• MW-T8A: Monitoring well manhole was in good shape. TI1ere was hole in the side of the pipe for
monitoring equipment that had been covered however, there were two notches cut into the top of
the well casing that would prevent it from being watertight. The plug was locked.
• MW-Tl4A: Monitoring well manhole was in good shape. It is a 1-inch well that most likely had a
piezometer present. The plug was loose but locked.

US Army advised EPA at least *4* times that Apple needs to do continuous monitoring of the vapor intrusion controls (Apple prob said 'we're done forever now'). USACE also ignored Apple's parkour-esque VI testing "plans" from 2021, and only reported the 2022+ QA plans overseen and approved by US EPA

VI risks at TRW building were mitigated in 2015. In 2023 and 2024 vapor intrusion confirmatory
sampling were performed and confirmed that the mitigation measures were still effective in
preventing vapor intrusion above acceptable risk levels. There is no evidence of unacceptable
vapor intrusion risk for the current commercial building on-site. However, monitoring for
long-term stewardship is required to ensure the mitigation measures remain effective in the
long-term. Additionally, exterior soil gas investigation is needed to update the Conceptual Site
Model and update the focused feasibility study for EPA to select a revised groundwater remedy
for the TRW Site.
