Terracon Project No. 94097105A
March 13, 2009
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report documents Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) Surface Water Assessment
(Assessment)of the pond located at Thweatt Park west of South Coppell Road and Sandy Lake
Road in Coppell,Texas. Terracon was contacted by the City of Coppell(client)to investigate a
recent fish kill in the pond located at Thweatt Park in Coppell, Texas. In the days prior,
numerous fish had been discovered along the banks of the pond. The Assessment is intended
to provide information that will assist the client in evaluating the cause of the fish kill and give
possible actions to prevent an occurrence in the future. Reference Section 4.0, below, and
Appendix A, Figure 1 for additional project and location information.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The methodology employed in conducting the Assessment follows:
1. Surface water sampling of the pond at Thweatt Park.
2. Interviews with city officials and area residents.
3. Formulate an opinion regarding the existence of contaminants in the pond at Thweatt
Park and possible remediation activities.
3.0 LIMITATIONS
The environmental services documented in this Assessment report were performed in
accordance with current, generally accepted professional practices in the local area. No other
warranty is expressed or implied. The on-site investigation performed for this Assessment was
conducted within a 1-day period.
No assessment can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for use of the site by
listed species. This Assessment considers only regulatory parameters in effect at the time of the
Assessment and proposed project parameters as described below. The stated and inherent
limitations of any such assessment must be considered when relying on this report to formulate
opinions related to potential, project-related regulatory requirements.
This Assessment report has been prepared for the exclusive use and reliance of the client.
Reliance by any other party is prohibited without the written authorization of the client and
Terracon.
4.0 SITE LOCATION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Thweatt Park is located west of the intersection of South Coppell Road and Sandy Lake Road in
•
Surface Water Assessment lFerracon
Project No. 94097105A
March 17, 2009
Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. Thweatt Park consists of one embankment pond approximately
13,178 square feet in size. The pond is surrounded by a levee with an emergency spillway
located on the west side of the pond. A tributary extends east of the pond towards the
intersection of South Coppell Road and Sandy Lake Road. The pond water appears to be
supplied by stormwater runoff from South Coppell Road and Sandy Lake Road; however,at the
time of investigation construction was occurring on South Coppell Road and erosion control
structures were present in the tributary preventing little to no runoff from entering the pond. A
site plan is provided as Figure 1 in Appendix A.
5.0 INVESTIGATION AND FINDINGS
5.1 On-Site Investigation
A walking reconnaissance of the site and surface water sampling of the pond were performed on
February 27, 2009. No dead fish were observed along the banks of pond; however, live fish,
turtles, and ducks were observed in the water. Surface water samples were collected
approximately 0.5 feet below the water surface and approximately 2 feet above the pond bottom.
At the time of investigation readings for temperature, conductivity, pH,were collected with a YSI
flow through cell and surface water samples were collected and analyzed for total suspended
solids (TSS), 5 day biological oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen
(TKN), Nitrate/Nitrite present, total phosphorus, pesticides, herbicides, and turbidity. Findings
are noted in Table 1, below and analytical results are located in Appendix B. Photographs are
provided in Appendix C.
5.2 On-site Interview
During the site investigation, Mr. Jeff Wilson, a nearby resident was interviewed by Terracon.
Mr. Wilson stated that approximately two weeks prior, individuals from the city had placed a
yellow, pelletized chemical throughout the park. Within the next couple of days the area
received a light rain and the yellow pellets had accumulated along the shoreline of the pond.
Subsequently, numerous dead fish were found along the bank of the pond. Mr. Wilson
estimated that over 100 fish had been found since the incident began and the species
discovered were bluegill perch, catfish, and turtles. Mr. Wilson stated that fish had not been
discovered for a few days.
5.3 Evaluation of Surface Water Quality
5.3.1 Sampling Results
Results from the surface water sample are indicted in the following table. The total Phosphorus
level and turbidity of the pond are at a level of concern. All other tested criteria fall into an
acceptable range for surface water quality.

Total Phosphorus 0.17 mg/L
Turbidity 212 NTU
The critical phosphorus concentration at which eutrophication and accelerated algal growth
begins is 0.01 to 0.02 mg/L. The laboratory results for the surface water sample indicates total
Phosphorus at 0.17 mg/L which indicates the pond is eutrophic and subject to significant algae
blooms; however significant algae blooms were not observed during the site investigation.
Turbidity levels above 100 NTU indicate that a waterbody has a high amount of sediment. The
turbidity reading of the pond was 212 NTU, which indicates that the pond contains a high
amount of sediment. High amounts of sediment in a waterbody can be harmful to aquatic life
due to its interference with sunlight penetration. If suspended particles block out light,
photosynthesis, and the production of oxygen for fish and aquatic life, will be reduced. If light
levels get too low, photosynthesis may stop altogether and algae will die. It's important to realize
conditions that reduce photosynthesis in plants result in lower oxygen concentrations and large
carbon dioxide concentrations. Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. Large amounts of
suspended matter may also clog the gills of fish and shellfish and kill them directly and
suspended particles may provide a place for harmful microorganisms to lodge.

5.3.2 Pesticides and Herbicides
In addition to the tests listed in Section 5.3.1, water samples were also analyzed for the
presence of pesticides or herbicides. Sample results did not indicate the presence of pesticides
over the detectable limits of the laboratory equipment; however, one herbicide, Dicamba, was
found at a concentration of 0.0011 mg/L. Dicamba, also known as 3,6-dichloro-2-
methoxybenzoic acid is commonly used as a broadleaf weed herbicide. According to the
pesticide label for Dicamba, Dicamba is of low toxicity to fish(2,5).The lethal concentration fifty,
or LC50, is that concentration of a chemical in air or water that kills half of the experimental
animals exposed to it fora set time period.The 96-hour LC50 for technical Dicamba in bluegill is
135.3 mg/I.The 48-hour LC50 for Dicamba in bluegill is 40 mg/I. In water,microbial degradation
is the main route of Dicamba disappearance. Photolysis may also occur. Aquatic hydrolysis,
volatilization, adsorption to sediments,and bio-concentration are not expected to be significant.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on information gathered during site interviews and the presence of the herbicide
Dicamba, it is Terracon's opinion that an applied chemical herbicide infiltrated the pond and
caused the fish kill.
At the time of the investigation, fish, reptiles, and birds were observed in the pond and the
Dicamba concentration in the water was well below the level toxic to warm water fish, such as,
bluegill. Based on site observations and analytical results, it is Terracon's opinion that the
chemicals added to the water have been diluted to a point that is no longer detrimental to
aquatic life in the pond.
In order to minimize the potential for fish kills in the future, Terracon recommends the use of a
buffer zone when applying pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizer in the vicinity of the pond.
Typically, a buffer zone of 50 feet is sufficient in limiting the transport of pesticides,fertilizer,and
sediment into a waterbody. Other best management practices to consider are the utilization of
filter strips around the pond and the incorporation of pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizer into the
soil at the time of application.

Qualifier Report Information
ESC utilizes sample and result qualifiers as set forth by the EPA Contract Laboratory Program and
as required by most certifying bodies including NELAC. In addition to the EPA qualifiers adopted
by ESC, we have implemented ESC qualifiers to provide more information pertaining to our analytical
results. Each qualifier is designated in the qualifier explanation as either EPA or ESC.
Data qualifiers are intended to provide the ESC client with more detailed information concerning
the potential bias of reported data. Because of the wide range of constituents and variety of
matrices incorporated by most EPA methods,it is common for some compounds to fall outside of
established ranges. These exceptions are evaluated and all reported data is valid and useable
unless qualified as 'R' (Rejected) .
Definitions
Accuracy - The relationship of the observed value of a known sample to the
true value of a known sample. Represented by percent recovery and
relevant to samples such as: control samples, matrix spike recoveries,
surrogate recoveries, etc.
Precision - The agreement between a set of samples or between duplicate samples.
Relates to how close together the results are and is represented by
Relative Percent Differrence.
Surrogate - Organic compounds that are similar in chemical composition, extraction,
and chromotography to analytes of interest. The surrogates are used to
determine the probable response of the group of analytes that are chem-
ically related to the surrogate compound. Surrogates are added to the
sample and carried through all stages of preparation and analyses.
TIC - Tentatively Identified Compound: Compounds detected in samples that are
not target compounds, internal standards, system monitoring compounds,
or surrogates.
