2021-2022 Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Report Industrial Area Kennedy Space Center, FloridaThis report presents the groundwater sampling results from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Industrial Area (IA) 2021-2022 Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) activities and results of the 2023 DPT activities at three of the sites. The NASA IA LTM Program includes the following 14 sites:

- Ransom Road Landfill (RRLF) – Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 003
- Orsino Storage Yard (ORSY) – SWMU 004
- Building M7-0505 Treatment Tank Area (M505) – SWMU 039
- Hypergol Maintenance Facility Hazardous Waste South Staging Area (HMF South) – SWMU 070
- Operations and Checkout Building (O&C) – SWMU 076
- Vertical Processing Facility (VPF) – SWMU 077
- Environmental Health Facility (EHF) – SWMU 079
- Kennedy Athletic, Recreation, and Social Park 1 (KARS Park 1) – SWMU 084
- Engineering Development Laboratory (EDL) – SWMU 085
- Launch Equipment Test Facility (LETF) – SWMU 091
- Mobil Service Station (MOBIL) – SWMU 093
- General Services Administration Seized Property (GSSP) – SWMU 095
- Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) – SWMU 098
- Fuel Storage Area #1 Underground Storage Tank (UST) [Building 1044] (FSA1) – Potential Release Location (PRL) 157

Groundwater levels were gauged at each site during the 2021 and 2022 LTM field activities. Sampling events for the IA LTM Program are conducted seasonally during the dry and wet seasons, which occur in May and November, respectively. The sites in the NASA IA LTM Program are sampled on annual, biennial, or 5-year sampling frequencies based on historical trends. Due to contract transitions and monitoring well installations, 2021 dry season activities
were conducted during September 2021, while dry season activities for 2022 resumed in May 2022.
