RE: Brookshire Plating Facility, Bakersfield, California
Dear Mr. Zuroski:
As requested recentl~ in a conversation with Joe Canas of this
Department, we hope fhat the following background 'information and
analytical data is stlfficient to support our t-equest for U.S. EPA
['nnding for ~'he remediation of metal contaminated soil and bulk

I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Action Memorandum isito request and
document approval of the proposed CERCLA removal action described
herein for the Brookshire Plating Shop located at 527 E. 19th
St., Bakersfield, Kern County, California (~'the Site").
Conditions presently exist at the Site which, if not addressed
by implementing the response action documented in this Action
Memorandum, may lead to additional off siteimigration and
continued release of contaminants which maylpose an imminent and
substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or the
environment.
II. SITE CONDITIONB AND BACKGROUND
Site Status: Non-NPL
Category of Removal: Time-Critical
CERCLIS ID: CAD983671793
SITE ID: 8B
· . Removal s~e
On ~v~y ~7, ~993 ~A OSC ~athryn Lawrenc
B kersfield, CA. All containers ..... P19tzng Shop in
inventoried. A zuuna on=site were inspected and
total of.apProximately 14 vats, 6 drums, and 40
small containers (includzng 3 gas cylinders) were found within
the facility. The drums and Small containers are generally in
fair condition but are unsegregated and located in areas with no
secondary containment. The volume of hazardous material in 55
gallon and.smaller containers is approxim~
vats contained approximate _ a~el~ 500 gallons. The
material and 25 &~llo~- -~l¥~9-cubi~ feet of solid waste
.... ? ..~ u~ z~qula Waste material. Several of the
vats in the pla~lng shop were observed to '
threatened contanued release f +w~ b? very corroded and
o .... ~r contents. Mr; Kenneth
Brookshire, the facility owner/operator, identified these vats as
containing cyanide-metal plating sludges. He identified other
vats at the Site as containing floor sludges that he had removed
from the plating room.
Visual inspection of the soil and floor ~esidues throughout
the facility revealed staining and lsturbance indicative of
d'
wide-spread ground surface .contamination. TAT therefore analyzed
surface deposits at 32 locations on and near the Site using an X-
Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) field instrument. In
addition, surface soil samples were collected'from five on-site
and one off-site location and submitted fo~ laboratory analyses.
The XRF and laboratory analyses of site soils (both outdoors and
inside of
the two buildings! indicated theipresence of cyanide,
chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, lead and cadmium in
concentrations that exceed California TTLC ic '
wastes. Several ' __ . rlteria for hazardous
so~l samples also exh~bite~ TCLP concentrations
that exceed the hazardous waste defining crliteria, at 40 CFR 261.
Based on the screening analyses and validated commercial
laboratory data, a large volume of hazardou~ waste is distributed
throughout the site. Given the proximity of these wastes to
local residential popuiations and the numerous contaminant
migration pathways available, the results of the assessment show
that the conditions at the Site pose a potehtial threat to public
health, welfare, or the environment. Of pa~ticular concern, is
the potential for a release involving cyanide bearing and/or
heavy metal contaminated sludges and soils, i Poor security at
the site, coupled with the fact that the facility is an
attractive nuisance, increases the POssibility of direct human
contact. Mr. Brookshire stated that the si~e has been broken
into on numerous occasions and that he believes that homeless
persons have used the facility for shelter.
2. Physical location
The Site address is 527 E. 19th St. in Bakersfield, CA. The
Site facility is a former electroplating shop which is situated
in a mixed light industrial, commercial, and residential area of
east Bakersfield. Private residences and Public restaurants are
located in the immediate vicinity of the site. Two public
schools are located 0.4 and 0.8 miles southeast of the site.
3. Sl~o characteristics
The Site is comprised of two buildings separated by a yard.
Two chain-link fences between the two buildings enclose tho yard.
The total area of the Site is approximately 5,500 square feet,
4,500 square feet of which are occupied by'the two buildings.
The building on the north side of the property is composed of
three areas; a plating shop area, a buffing area, and an office
area. The building on the south side of the property is a
garage-like structure formerly used as an ~uto bumper repair
shop. Chemical products were stored in this building, primarily
in a room on the west side of the facility~
The electroplating facility and the property has been owned
and operated by Mr. Ken Brookshire since the 1950s. The Kern
County Health Department performed a samplSng inspection of the
facility in June 1989 that resulted in its.closure. Kern County
officials subsequently directed Mr. Brooks~ire to clean the site.
Mr. Brookshire reported that he'd attempted to move some of the
stored product and waste materials off-sit~, but was only
successful in removing a few plating tanks land useable plating
solutions and containerized some of the floor sludges in the
plating shop area. Much of the waste stili remains on site in
tanks and containers that have and continue to deteriorate.
The removal action described herein is the first one proposed
for the Site by EPA.
4. Role&se o~ %hremtened release into ~e envi~onment of &
hazardous substanoe, or pollutant or aontam~nant
Preliminary results indicate that the si~e wastes include
heavy metal and cyanide Contaminated soils and sludges. Such
materials are hazardous substances as defined by Section 101(14)
of CERCLA. A continued and/or unmitigated release of the
materials could constitute a threat to local human and animal
populations as well as to groundwater and surface waters. In
addition, since the site is relatively unsecured, it is readily
accessed by the public and may constitute a. contact risk. As
discussed previously, Mr. Brookshire reported that the site
buildings have been broken into on'numerous'occasions. Mr.
Brookshire also stated that some of the site chemicals have been
3
stolen and that he believes =hat the office are has been'used by
homeless persons for shelter.
$. NPL Status
This facility is not on the NPL nor is it expected to be.
6. Maps, pictures and other graphia
A map of the area, a diagram of =he facility, and-copies of
photographs of the preliminary assessment;are attached.
B. Othor Actions t~ Date
In June 1989, the Kern County =nvironme~tal Health Services
Department (KCEHSD) performed an inspection of the facility
pursuant to a warrant swerved by the Baker~field City Fire
Department. Due to site conditions and po~ential hazardous waste
violations noted, surface soil and some materials/wastes stored
on site were sampled. Analytical results ~or these samples
indicated the presence of hazardous levels]of metals in the soil
at various locations on site. Some of thelmaterials/wastes
stored also exceeded hazardous waste regulatory criteria. Based
on these results, KCEHSD issued a Notice of Violation and Order
to Comply to Mr. Brookshire.
In April 1990, Mr. ~rookshire proposed tb perform a general
facility cleaning by relocating, selling and disposing all
materials/wastes on site as appropriate. During the KCEHSD's
inspection in February 1991, some of the o~iginal containers
still remained on site. In addition, some.of the plating tanks
still had liquid or solid residue in them.. In June 199'3, the
facility was reinspected to determine compliance. During this
inspection, 4-6 tanks were observed to still contain varying
levels of heavy metals, cyanides, and caustic waste. According
to KCEHSD files, it was also evident that no characterization or
remediation of contaminated soil had been Oonducted. KCENSD
contacted EPA Region IX Emergency Response ~Section regarding the
site once they determined that Mr. Brookshire would be unable to
fund further characterization or remediation of the site.
Am discussed previously, Mr. Brookshire.stated that he had
removed all tanks and plating solutions that he could give to
other area plating shops. He also stated that he had
containerized much of the floor sludge fro~ the plating shop. No
other actions appear to have been taken to ~ate.

III. THREATS TO PUBLIC HEALTH OR WELFARE OR THE ENVIRONMENT,
AND STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES
A. ~hreats to Public Healt~ or Welfar~
The substances of concern are cyanide solids, caustics, strong
acids, and numerous heavy metal salts. HaZardous substances
encountered and identified at the time of 2he site assessment
included:
Approximately 25 gallons of a substance ~dentified as nitric
acid was observed in the plating shop. Nitric acid is a
corrosive material which can burn the skin,i eyes, and respiratory
tract upon direct contact or inhalation of.vapors. It can cause
acute pulmonary edema or chronic pulmonary diseases from
inhalation. When heated or reacted with water, it produces toxic
and corrosive fumes. If nitric acid were to: come into contact
with cyanide (which has been identified in the plating shop vats
and on the plating shop floor) it can also form hydrogen cyanide,
a highly toxic gas.
Cyanide based plating sludges and cyanide contaminated soils
were identified throughout the facility. C~anides are poisons
and may be fatal if the compound is inhaled~ swallowed or
absorbed through the skin. Cyanide salts and strong acids are
5
n¢ompatible materials and, if mixed, can:liberate hydrogen
cyanide, a highly toxic gas. Mixtures of:cyanides and strong
oxidizers such n' .
hazards. ' as ltric acid, present both fire and explosion
_ C~ium contaminated soils and sludges: were found through the
xaclll=y at the =lme of the Site assessment. Chromium is a
suspected human carcinogen. Chronic exposure to chromate dust
may cause bronchogenic carcinoma, c '.
-.*~ua =~ronlc exposure may cause
nasal or l~ng cancer in humans. Acute exposure to nickel fumes
?r ?oppTr dusts can also cause upper respiratory tract
· rr~tat~on, metal fume fever, nausea, vomiting and abdominal
pains.
1. Actual or potential exposure tO hazardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants by nearby popuIa~ons or the food
chain
The subject site is an attractive nuisance and represents a
risk to local human populations. People could come into direct
contact with the waste materials which include acids, cyanides,
lead, and chromium. Wind dispersal of con~aminated site soils
also presents an exposure hazard to local human populations.
~. Aotua~ or potential oontam~nation o!f drinking water
supplies.
Although potential contamination of ground and surface water
drinking supplies appears to be remote, rub%off from the property
could be diverted to area storm drains and~ subsequently, to
local surface waters thus presenting a pogential ecological
risk. '
~- Hazardous substances or ~o11~tants
dr~ms, barrels, tanks, or other bulk storage aontainers, that may
pose a threat of release
Most of th~ plating tanks appear to be in poor condition as
evidenced by corrosion and surface crystallization. Continued
deterioration of these containers could result in a significant
release to the environment.
4. H~gh levels of hazardous substanaes.or pollutants or
taminants in soils at or near the surface, :that ma~ migrate
The close proximity of the site and associated contaminated
soils to road-side drainage could pose a significant migration
hazard during rainfall events. Migration of site hazardous
substances could introduce additional routes of exposure and may
threaten area surface waters. In addition, Wind dispersal of
contaminated soils could present a threat to local residents in
neighboring businesses and homes.
6
$- Weather Conditions that may cause ~a~ardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants to migrate or bo rexeased
Weather conditions that could contribute to releases described
under Sections under III.A.4 and 6 include heavy rains and
moderate to high winds.
6. Throat of f~re or explosion
The proximity of the acid wastes to the'cyanide and caustic
wastes could present a fire hazard and/or:explosion hazard if any
incompatible and reactive wastes were to mix. in addition, if
acid were to come into contact with the cYanide-bearing
materials, hydrogen cyanide gas could be ~roduced and released.
7. Ava~lability of other appropriate Federal or. state
responso mechanisms to respond to tho
None identified at ~his time.
B. ~reats t~ the Environm~n~
1. Actual or potential exposure to hagardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants by nearby animals or the food chain
some of the material has already been released. Additional
releases due to tank deterioration and migration of site wastes ..
could result in a significant threat to nearby animals and the
food chain. As discussed above, many of the contaminants
identified at the site can have carcinogenic and/or systemic
effects on both human and animal populations. Metals can bio-
accumulate and could represent a food-chain threat as well.
Because of the site's proximity to storm d~ains, both terrestrial
and aquatic populations may be threatened.~Birds and
domestic/feral cats appear to frequent theisite and a least one
dead animal was identified at the facilitylduring the site
assessment. The animal,s death may very welI have been caused by
exposure to site contaminants.
2. Aatual or potential contamination of 'sensitive ecosystems
No endangered or threatene~ animal or plant species have been
identified in the immediate area. The NatUral Resource Trustee
has been notified.
Iv. ENDANGERMENT DETERMINATION
Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from
this site, if not addressed by implementingl the response action
selected in this Action ~emorandum, may present an imminent and
substantial endangerment to public health, ~elfare or the
environment. ,
7
V. PROPOS;D ~C~ZO~8 ~ Bg~ZNA~D G08~8
Removal of the tanked and drummed materials and excavation of
the contaminated soils with off-site RCRAidisposal is the only
feasible solution for mitigating threats ~osed by the situation.
Site stability without disposal would provide only a temporary
solution to the threats posed by the site~
A. ~o~ose~ Actions
The overall objective of the removal action will be to
identify all situations which pose imminent and substantial
endangerments to the public and the environment, and mitigate
them in a cost effective manner consistent with NCP criteria.
· . Proposed ao~on description
The removal action will consist of the ~ollowing activities:
a. secure site buildings to preclude public access (including
24-hr. security during removal operations.'.
b. Conduct a waste inventory and sampl~ and characterize all
containerized wastes.
c. Determine depth and distribution of moil contamination and
collect samples to characterize soil contaminants.
d. Per~orm air monitoring and sampling ~n accordance with
OSHA requirements during the removal action. Operational
controls such as dust containment and/or s~ppression will be used
to abate fugitive dust emissions.
e. Remove or stock pile non-hazardous equipment and debris to
provide adequate space for response operations.
£. Prepare all hazardous substances for proper transportation
for disposal, or where feasible, alternative treatment or
reuse/recycle options. The above may include bulking of
compatibles, direct shipment for reuse, reaontalnerlzatlon, of
materials into DOT specification containerS,.lab packing small
quantities, and neutralization or other on-site treatment of
wastes.
g. RQmove grossly contaminated equipmen=, structures and
debris for proper disposal. An attempt wil~ be made to
decontaminate structures to non-hazardous levels and minimize the
volume of hazardous wastes.
h. Excavate contaminated soils and ship off-site for
treatment and/or disposal.
~o ~ontr~but~on ~o rsmed~al
No remedial action is p~anned at ~his site.

(AR~Rs)
t
RCRA, particularly the RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions, are
ARARs for this removal action. The CERCLA Off-Site Disposal
Policy will be a TB¢ criteria for this ac=ion. In accordance
with 40 CFR 300.415(i), this removal shali, ~o the extent
practicable considering the exigencies of.the situation, attain
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements under federal
and state environmental laws.
S. Pro,eot schedule
In order to conserve personnel and equ£~ment costs, the project
will be completed in two phases. The first week will be devoted
to site security arrangement and waste profiling and
characterization, which should be accomplfshed within 5 days.
The site will then be demobilized for two ~eeks to allow for
profile analyses and the selection of TSDS. After re-mob, waste
.bulking and soil excavation, and disposal s~0uld be accomplished
within three weeks.

Delayed action.could unnecessarily expose unsuspecting persons
to hazardous chemicals that can cause severe injury. If this
removal action is not performed, contaminants may migrate off-
site to neighboring properties.
Wind dispersal of contaminated
soils could result in releases of airborne contaminants including
lead and cyanide. Storm water run-off ~ould also accelerate the
dispersal o~ site c~ntaminants. Of p~rt~cUlar concern, is the
storage of incompatible wastee (cyanides and acids). The
continued deterioration of the tanks and ~ontainers 'that hold
these materials could result in their ~ommingling and,
ultimately, a release of hydrogen cyan~deigas. The facility is an
attractive nuisance and arson and vandali~m are potential
threats. These events coupled with inadequate security and
maintenance heightens the possibility of a release.
vii. OUTSTANDING POLICY
None identified.
viii. ~ORC~ENT
Mr. Kenneth Brookshire is =he only owner/operator identified
for the site. EPA sent Mr. Brookshire a Notice letter on 27
August 1993 explaining EPA's interest in ~he site, notifying him
o~ his potential liability, and requestin~ that he respond within
72 hours if he chose to perform necessary
site. In subsequent discussions with Mr. Brookshire he stated
that he could finance th~ necessary remov~l and ac declined.
IX. RECO~ENDATION
This decision document describes the selected removal action
for the Brookshire Pla=inS Shop, in Bakersfield CA., developed in
accordance with CERC~ as amended, and
NCP. This decision is based on the administrative record file
fo~ the site.
Condl~ions at the site meet the NCP sec=i.on 300.415(b)(2)
criteria for a removal and I reco~end youM approval of the
proposed removal action. The total project ceiling,
will be $740,000. Of this, an estimated $390,000 will be
initially obligated from the FY93 Regional~removal allowance; an
additional $90,000 contingency funding may be obligated from the
FY94 allowance, if required, for a potential total-draw of
$480, 00.

I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Action Memorandum is to request and
document approval of the proposed CERCLA removal action described
herein for the Brookshire Plating Shop located at 527 E. 19th
St., Bakersfield, Kern County, California (!'the Site").
Conditions presently exist at the Site which, if not addressed
by implementing the response action documented in this Action
Memorandum, may lead to additional off site. migration and
continued release of contaminants which may. pose an imminent and
substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare or the
environment.
II. BZTE CONDITIONS AND BACKGROUND
SitQ Status: Non-NPL
Category of Removal: Time-Critical
CERCLIS ID= CAD983671793
SITE ID: 8B .
l, Removal site evaluation
On July 27, 1993 ~PA CSt Kathryn LawrenCe and two members of
the Zone II Technical Assistance Team.(TA~) p~rformed
preliminary assessment at the Brookshlre Plating Shop a
. in
Bakersfield, CA. All containers found on'site were inspected and
inventoried. A
total of.approximately 141vat~, 6 drums, and 40
small containers (including 3 gas cylinders) were found within
the facility. The drums and small containers are generally in
fair condition but are unsegregated and located in areas with no
secondary containment. The volume of hazardous material in 55
gallon and smaller containers is approximately 500 gallons. The
vats contained approximately 500 cubic' feet of solid waste
material and 25 gallons of liquid waste material. Several of the
vats in the plating shop were observed to be very corroded and
threatened continued release of their contents. Mr. Kenneth
Brookshire, the facility owner/operator, identified these vats as
containing cyanide-metal plating sludges. He identified other
vats at the Site as containing floor sludges that he had removed
from the plating room.
Visual inspection of the soil and floor residues throughout
the facility revealed staining and disturbance indicative of
wide-spread ground surface contamination. ~TAT therefore analyzed
surface deposits at 32 locations on and near the Site using an X-
Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) field instrument. In
addition, surface soil samples were collected from five on-site
and one off-site location and submitted fox laboratory analyses.
The XRF and 'laboratory analyses of site soils (both outdoors and
inside of the two buildings) indicated the ipresence of cyanide,
chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, lead and cadmium in
concentrations that exceed california TTLC icriteria for hazardous
wastes. Several soil samples also exhibited TCLP concentrations
that exceed the hazardous waste defining criteria, at 40 CFR 261.
Ba~d on the screening analys~s and validated commercial
laboratory data, a large volume of hazardou~ waste is distributed
throughout the site. Given the proximity of these wastes to
local residential populations and the numerous contaminant
migration pathways available, the results of the assessment show
that the conditions at the Site pose a potehtial threat to public
health,'welfare, or the environment. Of particular concern, is
the potential for a release involving cyanide bearing and/or
heavy metal contaminated sludges and soils.~ Poor security at
the site, coupled with the fact that the facility is an
attractive nuisance, increases the possibility of direct human
contact. Mr. Brookshire stated that the site has been broken
into on numerous occasions and that he believes that homeless
persons have used the facility for shelter.

2. ~hys~al
The Site address is 527 E. 19th St. in Bakersfield, CA. The
Site facility is a former electroplating shop which is situated
in a mixed light industrial, commercial, ahd residential area of
east Bakersfield. Private residences and public restaurants are
located in the immediate vicinity of the site. Two public
schools are located 0.4 and 0.8 miles southeast of the site.
3. Btto characteristics
The Site is comprised of two buildings s~parated by a yard.
Two chain-link fences between the two builaings enclose the yard
The total area of the '
Site is approximatel~ 5,500 squ~re feet,
4,s00 square feet of which are occupied by:the two ~ulldings.
The building on the north side of
the property is composed, oF
three areas; a plating shop area, a buffin9 area, and an office
area. The building on the south side of the property is a
garage-like structure formerly used as an Auto bumper repair
shop. Chemical products were stored in this building, primarily
in a room on the west side of the facilityI
The electroplatlng facility and the property haB been owned
and operated by Mr. Ken Brookshire since the 1950s. The Kern
County Health Department performed a sampling inspection of the
facility in june 1989 that resulted in itsiclosure. Kern County
officials subsequently directed Mr. Brooks~ire to clean the site.
Mr. Brookshire reported that he'd attempted to move some of the
stored product and waste materials off-site, but was only
successful in removing a few plating tanks iand useable plating
solutions and containerized some of the fldor sludges in the
plating shop area. Much of the waste stil~ remains on site in
tanks and containers that have and continu~ to deteriorate.
The removal action described herein is t~e first one proposed
for the Site by EPA.
4. Release or threatened release tn~o
hazardous substance, or pollutant or =ontam~n&~t
Preliminary results indicate that the si~e wastes include
heavy metal and cyanide contaminated soils and sludges. Such
materials are hazardous substances as defined by Section 101(14)
of CERCLA. A continued and/or unmitigated release of the
materials could constitute a threat to local human and animal
populations as well as to groundwater and surface waters. In
addition, since the site is relatively unsecured, it is readily
accessed by the public and may constitute alcontact risk. As
discussed previously, Mr. Brookshire reported that the site
buildings have been broken into on numerous occasions. Mr.
Brookshire also stated that some of the site chemicals have been
3
stolen and that he believes =hat the office are has been used by
homeless persons for shelter.

B. Othor_Aotio~s to,
1. Previovs actions
In June 19So, the Kern county =nv±ronmea=al Health Services
Department (KCEHSD) performed an inspectio~ of the facility
pursuant to a warrant swerved by the Baker~field City Fire
Department. Due to site conditions and potential hazardous waste
violations noted, surface soil and some ma~erials/wastes stored
on site were sampled. Analytical results ~or these samples
indicated the presence of hazardous levelslof metals in the soil
at various locatlons on site. Some of thelmaterials/wa~tes
stored also exceeded hazardous waste regulatory criteria. Based
on these ~esults, KCEHSD issued a Notice of Violation and Order
to Comply to Mr. Brookshire.
In April 1990, ~r. ~rookshire proposed t~ perform a general
facility cleaning by relocating, selling and disposin~ all
~aterlals/wastes on site as appropriate. During the KC~HSD's
· n~pection in February 1991, some of the original containers
st/il remained on site. In addition, some.of the plating tanks
still had liquid or solid residue in them.. In June 1993, the
facility was reinspec=ed to determine compliance. During this
inspection, 4-$ tanks were observed to still contain varying
levels of heavy metals, cyanides, and caustic waste. According
to KCEHSD files, it was also evident that no characterization or
remediation of contaminated ~oil had been oonducted. KCEHSD
contacted EPA Region IX Emergency ResponseSection regarding the
site once they determined that Mr. Brookshire would be unable to
fund further characterization or remediation of the site.
As discussed previously, ~r. Brookshire stated that he had
removed all tanks and plating solutions that he could g~ve to
other area plating shops. He also stated that he had
containerized much of the floor sludge from' the plating shop. No
other actions appear to have been taken to date.
No site remedial or removal activities iare currentiy underway.
In July 1993, EPA and the Region IX TAT p~rformed'a site
assessment, the results of which are discussed above.
C. ~te ~nd Local AuthQrittes,S Rol~.
1. State and looal actions to
The State of California has not had any involvement with the
site to date. Kern County actions are discussed above.
2. Poten~ial for oon~inUed gtate/looa~ response
Neither the State nor local agencies have sufficient funds to
perform stabilization and =leanup activities. The cost of these
actions is well beyond the capabilities of the State Emergency
Reserve Account.

III. THREATS TO PUBLIC HEALTH OR WELFAR~ OR THE ENVIRONMENT,
AND STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES
~- ~h=em.~s t~ Pub~i~ H~alt~ or. We~fa~.
The substances of concern are cyanide soiids, caustics, strong
acids, and numerous heavy metal salts. HaZardous substances
encountered and identified at the time of the site assessment
included:
Approximately 25 gallons of a substance identified as nitric
acid was observed in the plating shop. Nitric acid is a
corrosive material which can burn the skin,i eyes, and respiratory
tract upon direct contact or inhalation of vapors. It can cause
acute pulmonary edema or chronic pulmonary :diseases from
inhalation. When heated or reacted With w~ter, it produces toxic
and corrosive fumes. If nitric acid were to: come into contact
with cyanide (which has been identified in the plating shop vats
and on the plating shop floor) it can also form hydrogen cyanide,
a highly toxic gas.
Cyanide based plating sludges and cyanide contaminated soils
were identified throughout the facility. Cyanides are poisons
and may be fatal if the compound is inhaled, swallowed or
absorbed through the skin. Cyanide salts and strong acids are
5
incompatible materials and, if mixed, caniliberate hydrogen
cyanide, a highly toxic gas. Mixtures oflcyanides and strong
oxidizers, such as nitric acid, present b6th fire and explosion
hazards.
Chromium contaminated soils and sludgesiwere found through the
facility at the time of the site assessment. Chromium is a
suspected human carcinogen. Chronic exposure to chromate dust
may cause bronchogenic carcinoma, chromium is a poison and, when
ingested, causes gastrointestinal effects~ Nickel dust or fume
is a respiratory irritant that which chro~ic exposure may cause
nasal or lung cancer in humans. Acute exposure to nickel fumes
or copper dusts can also cause upper respiratory tract
irritation, metal fume fever, nausea, vomiting and abdominal
pains.
1. Actual or Potential exposure to hazardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants by nearby popu.~ations or the food
oha~n ~
The subject ~ite is an attractive nuisance and represents a
risk to local human populations. People could come into direct
contact with the waste materials which include acid~, cyanides,
lead, and chromium. Wind dispersal of contaminated site soils
also presents an exposure hazard to local human populations.
R. &otual or potential oontam~nation oil drinking water
supplies.
Although potential contamination of ground and surface water
drinking supplies appears to be remote, run, off from the property
could be diverted to area storm drains and; subsequently, to
local surface waters, thus presenting a potential ecological
risk. i
~- Hazardous substances or pollutants Or ~ontaminants in
drums, barrels, tanks, or other bulk storage containers, that may
pose a threat of release i
Most of tho plating tanks appear to be in poor condition as
evidenced by corrosion and surface crystallization. Continued
deterioration of these containers could result in a significant
release to the environment.
4. High levels of hazardous substances~or pollutants or con-
taminants in soils at or near the surface, ithat may migrate
The close proximity of the site and associated contaminated
soils to road-side drainage could pose a significant migration
hazard during rainfall events. Migration of site hazardous
substances could introduce additional routes of exposure and may'
threaten area surface waters. In addition,~wind dispersal of
contaminated soils could present a threat t° local residents in
neighboring businesses and homes.

1. Aotual o= po~enti&l exposure ~o ~a~ardous substanoes or
pollutants or contaminants by nearby animals or the food oha~n
Some of the material has already been ~e!leased. Additional
releases due to tank deterioration and mig~ation of site wastes
could result in a significant threat to nearby animals and the
food chain. As discussed above, many of the contaminants
identified at the site can have carcinogenic and/or systemic
effects on both human and animal populations. Metals can bio-
accumulate and could represent a food-chaih threat as well.
Because of the site's proximity to storm d~ains, both terrestrial
and aquatic populations may be threatened, iBirds and
domestic/feral cats appear to frequent the site and a least one
dead animal was identified at the facilityiduring the site
assessment. The animal's death may very well have been caused by
exposure to site contaminants.
2. Aotual or potential contamination of sensitive eoosystems
No endangered or threatened animal or plant species have been
identified in the immediate area. The NatUral Resource Trustee
has been notified.
IV. ENDANGERMENT D~TERMINATION
Actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances from
this site, if not addressed by implementing]the response action
selected in this Action Memorandum, may present an imminent and
substantial endangerment to public health, Welfare, or the
nvlronment.
V. PROPOSED ~C?ZO~8 &ND ESTZI~TED C08~8
Removal of the tanked and drummed materials and excavation of
the contaminated soils with off-site RCRA disposal is the only
feasible solution for mitigating threats Posed by the situation.
Site stability without disposal would provide only a temporary
solution to the threats posed by the site~
A. ~ro~osed &ot~o~ ~
The overall objective of the removal action will be to
identify all situations which pose imminent and substantial
endangerments to the public and the environment, and mitigate
them in a cost effective manner oonsisten~ with NCP criteria.
1. Proposed &ot~on desart~tio~
The removal action will consist of the following activities:
a. Secure site buildings to preclude p~bllc access (including
24-hr. security during removal operations.
b. Conduct a waste inventory and sample and characterize all
containerized wastes.
c. Determine depth and distribution of Soil contamination and
collect samples to characterize soil contaminants.
d. Perform air monitoring and sampling in accordance with
OSHA requirements during the removal action. Operational
controls such as dust containment and/or s~ppression will be used
to abate fugitive dust emissions. '
e. Remove or stock pile non-hazardous equipment and debris to
provide adequate space for response operations.
£. Prepare all hazardous substances for'proper transportation
for disposal, or where feasible, alternative treatment or
reuse/recycle options. The above may include bulking of
compatibles, direct shipment for reuse, re~ontainerization, of
materials into DOT specification containers, lab packing small
quantities, and neutralization or other on-site treatment of
wastes. ·
g. Remove grossly contaminated equipment, structures and
debris for proper disposal. An attempt will be made to
decontaminate structures to non-hazardous levels and minimize the
volume of hazardous wastes.
h. Excavate contaminated soils and ship off-site for
treatment and/or disposal.

OR NOT TAKEN
Delayed action.could unnecessarily expose unsuspecting persons
to hazardous chemicals that can cause severe inturv. If thi~
s~te to nezghboring properties. Wind dispersal of contaminated
soils could result in releases of airborn~ contaminants including
lead and cyanide. Storm water Fun-off could also accelerate the
dispersal of site contaminants. Of partic21ar concern, is the
storage of incompatible wastes (cyanides and acids). The
continued deterioration of the tanks and ~tainers that hold
these materials could result in their comm~ngling and,
ultimately, a release of hydrogen cyanideigas. The facillty is an
attractive nuisance and arson and vandali~ are potential
threats. These events coupled with inadequate security and
maintenance heightens the possibility of a release.
vii. OUTSTANDIN9 POLICY ISSUES
None identified.
VIIi. ENFORCEMENT
Mr. Kenneth Brookshire is the o~ly owne~/operator identified
for the site. EPA sent Mr. Brookshire a Notice letter on 27
August 1993 e×plaining EPA's interest in ~he Site, notifying him
of his potential liability, and requestin~ that he respond within
72 hours if he chose to perform necessary iresponse action at the
site. In subsequent discussions with Mr. ~rookshire he stated
that he could riddance the necessary remova!l and so ~eclined.
IX. RECOMMENDATION
This decision document describes the selected removal action
for the Brookshire Plating Shop, in Bakersfield CA., developed in
acco~dan=e with CERCLA as amended, and noti inconsistent with the
NCP. This decision is based on the admini~trative record file
for the site.
Conditions at the site meet ~he NCP section 300.415(b)(2)
c~iteria for a removal and I recommend you~ approval of the
proposed removal action. The total proJec~ ceiling, if approved,
will be $740,000. Of this, an estimated $390,000 will be
initially obligated from the ¥¥93 Regionallremoval allowance; an
additional $90,000 contingency funding may be obligated from the
F¥94 allowance, if required, for a potentt.~l total draw of

Address: S26 E. 19th Street
Bakersfield, CA 9BBOS
Sampling Date: June 6, 1989
Alleged Violations:
1. Generator must determine if waste generated is hazardous. (CAC 66471) (40 CFR 262.11)
2. Hazardous Waste must be disposed of only at a facility permitted by the depm~attent.
(25189.5 H&SC)
3. All hazardous waste must be in containers which are in good condition or managed in
some other way that complies with the requirements of Article 24. (CAC 67241) (40 CFR
265.171)
4. Containers holding hazardous wastes must be closed during storage, except when it is
necessary to add or remove waste. (CAC 67243(a)) (40 CFR 265.173(a))
5. Containers storing ignitable or reactive waste must be located at least 15 meters (50 feet)
from the facility's property line. (67246 CAC) (40 CFR 265.176)
6. Each container or tank must be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Hazardous
Waste." (CAC 66508(a)(3)) (40 CFR 262.34(a)(3))
7. All uncovered tanks in operation must have at least 60 cm (2 ft) of freeboard unless tank
has appropriate containment structure that equals or exceeds the freeboard volume. (CAC
67257(c)) (40 CFR 265.192(c))
SYNOPSIS
On the above date, the following members of the Kern County Environmental Health Services
Department, Joe Canas, Richard Casagrande, Amy Green and Dolores Gough convened at the
Brookshire Plating facility to retrieve samples and document observed violations of hazardous
waste management laws. Our initial entry into the facility was to perform a site safety evaluation
of the facility which included documenting physical and chemical exposure hazards. After our
initial entry, we prepared our sampling equipment to be used. Our sampling was performed in
areas observed to have discolored soil, or other unnatural characteristic, containers which
appeared to be storing hazardous wastes, and released substances from containers which appeared
to be in use.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
On the 6th of June 1989, the four members of the Kern County Environmental Health Services
Department mentioned above met in front of the Brookshire Plating facility after the investigative
briefing was completed with all the other agencies involved. Immediately upon arriving on-site
we staged all needed equipment for the initial entry to perform a site safety evaluation. After
staging the required equipment, myself, Casagrande, and Green dressed in the predetermined
appropriate protective clothing.
The site safety team entered the facility for the purposed of recording physical and chemical
exposure hazards, and determine sampling points based on our observations. The three members
entered through the side front door and walked into each room to perform the tasks assigned.
I was assigned to perform field monitoring in each room for volatile organic substances with an
Hnu. While in each room, the ambient air conditions were monitored by walking at a slow pace
through each room. In addition to monitoring the ambient conditions, specific containers were
screened to determine the release of any volatile organic substances. Since only a slight deflection
on the Hnu meter was noted, it was determined that there was not a significant concentration
of volatile organics being released from the various sources. However, a constant deflection was
noticed while in the buffing and plating rooms. While I performed the above tasks, Green
performed colorimetric field screening with the Draeger immanent to retrieve colorimetric tube
samples of hydrogen chloride and cyanide in three different areas. The three samples included
an area in the buffing room where a caustic tank was being heated. The caustic tank contents
appeared to have boiled over and spilled on the concrete floor prior to our arrival. Another
sample was retrieved outdoors just south of the plating room. The third colorimetric sample was
retrieved from the plating room where we observed a flowing substance on the floor which
appeared to be originating from some of the plating tanks and the buffing room where the heated
caustic container mentioned above was located. A fourth colorimetric sample was retrieved only
for cyanides from near the 19th Street entrance area.
After completing our site safety evaluation and interpreting the results, we prepared a sampling
plan based on our observations during the initial entry. A plot plan of the facility was diagramed
and points marked to record sampling locations.
The sampling team consisted of all four members assigned to the tasks of recording sampling
notes, photographing, and retrieving samples. Each solid and sludge sample was retrieved with
a stainless steel kitchen spatula. Prior to the retrieval of each sample, the spatula was washed
with tap water, then a solution of soap and water, and finally rinsed with deionized water. The
same method was used on both sides of the spatula. Only two liquid samples were retrieved.
The first liquid sample was obtained off-site at the curb, which was retrieved by allowing the
liquid to flow into the sample container. The liquid sampled appeared to have originated indoors
of the plating facility. A second liquid/sludge sample was retrieved with a colowasa from a
drainage sump found between the plating tanks. The sump was covered by a wooden platform
which was lifted to obtain the liquid/sludge sample. The attached sheets provide a diagram of
where all samples were retrieved, field screening notes, observations, a description of each sample,
and photographs. All samples were placed in lab certified clean sample jars.
The sampling was performed in Level "C" protective clothing. All sampling within the operating
business area was completed at approximately two o'clock. A recess was taken at that time until
excavation could be completed in the rear of the property to locate the sewer pipe lateral where
a sample was planned to be retrieved. The sewer pipe was exposed at approximately four o'clock
and broken for our inspection of contaminants being entrusted on the pipe. The pipe appeared
to be in good condition both on the outside and inside area. In observing the soil conditions
around the pipe, no detectable discoloration or unnatural characteristic could be found. A
number of the smaller broken pipe pieces were placed into a sampling jar and recorded for later
analysis. Prior to our deparn~e, I advised Mr. Brookshire that he would be receiving a letter from
the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department describing our findings and violations
noted during our inspection.

RE: Brookshire Plating Facility, Bakersfield, California
Dear Mr. Zuroski:
As requested recently in a conversation with Joe Canas of this
Department, we hope that the following background information and
analytical data is sufficient to support our request for U.S. EPA
funding for the remediation of metal contaminated soil and bulk
waste at the Brookshire Plating facility. The facility is located
at 527 E. 19th Street, Bakersfield, California. It is owned by Ken
L. Brookshire but is not currently operating in any capacity.
In June, 1989, the Kern County Environmental Health Services
Department (KCEHSD) performed an inspection of the facility
pursuant to a warrant served by the Bakersfield City Fire
Department. Due to site conditions and potential hazardous waste
violations noted, surface soil and some materials/wastes stored on
site were sampled.
Analytical results indicated the presence of hazardous levels of
metals in the soil at various locations on site. Some of the
materials/wastes stored also exceeded hazardous waste regulatory
criteria. (see attached table) Based on these results, KCEHSD
issued a Notice of Violation and Order to Comply to Brookshire.
In April, 1990, Brookshire proposed to perform a general facility
cleaning by relocating, selling, and disposing all materials/wastes
on site as appropriate. During the KCEHSD's inspection in
February, 1991, some of the original containers remained on site.
In addition, some of the plating tanks still had liquid or solid
residue in them. In June, 1993, the facility was reinspected to
determine compliance. During this inspection, it was observed that
4-6 tanks still had varying levels of heavy metals, cyanides and
caustic waste. It was also evident that no characterization or
remediation of contaminated soil had been conducted. Due to his
current financial status, Brookshire is unable to fund further
characterization or remediation of the site.

RE: Proposed Mitigation Action
Dear Mr. Brookshire:
Pursuant to our February inspection and recent conversations regarding your proposal
for mitigation of the former Brookshire Plating facility at 527 East 19th Street, in Bakersfield,
California, this Department concludes that a complete assessment is still necessary. Your
proposal for constructing a concrete pad over the entire facility surface is denied.
This Department has determined that previous work performed is not sufficient to
adequately characterize or mitigate existing hazardous waste conditions. The initial assessment
performed by your contractor Calpi, Inc., was not completed and did not fully assess the
environmental problems found during our inspection. The current mitigation activities performed
fail to address or remove the hazardous substances noted during the initial inspection.
In summary, a site soil assessment, removal of containerized waste, and the distribution
and/or disposal of substances stored in the plating tanks is required. The required compliance
activities noted herewith do not preclude this Department from requiring further work should
conditions change or be detected during performance of a full assessment.
Should you have any questions regarding this notice, I may be contacted at
(805) 861-3636, extension 588.

SUBJECT: Brookshire Plating Reinspection
ADDRESS: 526 E. 19th Street
Bakersfield, CA 93305
DATE: February 21, 1991
PERFORMED BY: Joe Cafias, KCEHSD
Dan Starkey, KCEHSD
On February 21, 1991, a reinspection of the former Brookshire Plating facility was performed. The
front room, which was used for polishing purposes, was empty except for a few small items on the
floor. The floor appeared to be in good condition.
The next room we inspected was the plating area. Some of the plating tanks in the room still
contained liquid. Other tanks had a solid crusty residue at the bottom. Brookshire said he was still
in the process of selling or giving the materials in the tanks to local plating shops, but that they only
took a small amount at one time. An old gym locker assembly had been moved into the plating
room for storage of chemicals. The chemicals in the locker room were those discovered during our
initial inspection in the rear detached building. Brookshire advised us that the Fire Department had
instructed him to obtain proper storage area for the chemicals and that they had approved the
storage method.
Our inspection of the exterior area between the two buildings found the same containers as
originally found during the first inspection. Brookshire informed us that he was attempting to
dispose of some of his waste, but that the disposal company has not returned his calls.
At the end of our inspection, he provided a copy of some waste characterization work sheets dated
December 1990 which were supplied by Chem-Waste Management. Brookshire added that they
were supposed to have visited his facility and assisted him in classifying his waste.

Subject: Cleanup of Brookshire Plating
In response to your letter of January 30, 1990 regarding the mitigation actions
proposed at my business, Brookshire Plating, I am providing the following
information. I will be performing a general facility cleaning including the
following actions:
1. Relocation or sale of all metallic materials be they personal
belongings or unclaimed plating jobs.
This activity should only take 2-4 months and I will be performing these actions
myself.
2. Sell or transfer all un-used plating chemical feed stocks to
other business locations. (as you advised in your 1/30/90
letter, I will document these transactions by way of signed
receipts.)
I have contacted my former competitors and have initiated negotiations to
complete the transfer of the feed stock materials and will notify the
Bakersfield City Fire Department when my stored chemical inventory no longer
meets business planning requirements.
3. As a precautionary measure, I will seal the floor drain from
the plating area to avoid any accidental releases into the
Sewer. I will provide photo-documentation to the Bakersfield
City Public Works Department when this is accomplised
(approximately 1 week).
4. Site characterization and analysis:
a. Obtain E.P.A. Hazardous Waste Generator I.D. Number.
(approximately 1 month).
b. Prepare detailed site characterization plan for approval
by your agency. (approximately 2 months).
c. Investigate possibility of listing metallic scales and
impacted soils on California Waste Exchange (operated
by the Department of Health Services) for reclamation
of the metals in lieu of landfill disposal.
(approximately 1 month).
I am hopeful that these measures indicate my willingness to cooperate with your
agency in the matter at hand. As I have indicated previously, due to the small
Page 2 of 2
size of my business I am unable to contract for environmental consulting
services. However, a family friend with ten years of experience in environmental
conservation matters is assisting me in this cleanup action.
I will keep you apprised of all significant milestones which occur during the
cleanup process. Please contact me at (805) 323-0863 if you have any questions
regarding this correspondence.

From Brookshire Plating
I am writing to inform your agency that effective July 26, 1989 I have been
prohibited from conducting any business operations by a temporary restraining
order (#207512) and, therefore, no longer require an industrial wastewater
discharge permit.
I am providing photos taken before and after I sealed the floor drain in the
plating area so that there would not be any potential industrial discharge from
my property even in the unlikely event of a total release of the plating liquids
from any container.
As a consequence of this action, I will not be submitting a semi-annual
discharge report, and respectfully request that my discharge permit (#2-BK-0002)
be rescinded!

SUBJECT: Brookshire Plating, 527 E. 19th Street.
Dear Mr. Burger or Mr. Canas:
The following is presented as the plan for elimination of the non-
compliance situation at the above address. The business at the
site will be permanently closed and the materials disposed of ac-
cording to the following work plan:
1. All service lines to tanks will be disconnected.
2. The empty tank will be moved to an open area to permit
access.
3. The floor boards and debris under tanks will be picked up
and stored in plastic lined bins.
4. Starting on the cleaner and water-rinse tank, the contents
will be placed into DOT approved drums or polyethylene
tanks, and the tanks will be rinsed. All rinsate will be
stored in the correct drums or tanks.
5. The rectifier will be moved to permit access to the
chrome tank.
6. Anodes and bars will be removed from the chrome tank and
cleaned.
7. The chrome tank contents and cleaning rinsate will be
drummed with suitable labelling.
8. The same procedure will be carried out on the copper and
nickel tanks.
9. All drums will be sotred in a secure area pending purchase
by an interested party. This sale is currently being nego-
tiated and will involve all chemicals, liquid and solid,
and all tanks and associated equipment.

10. Debris will be removed from vacated tank area and stored
in bins.
11. Debris.and flooring will then be tested to determine
method of legal disposal.
When item 11 is completed this should eliminate the non-compliance
at this site,

Re: Compliance Requirements at Brookshire Plating
Dear Mr. Brookshire:
This is to inform you that this Department is in receipt of your letter
dated the 28th of September, 1989, which describes your intent to comply with
the Notice of Violation and Order to Comply issued in June, 1989.
As described in your letter, it appears that you are taking steps to comply
with the Order by performing some general maintenance on the plating tanks,
labeling, segregating, and properly storing chemicals. Be advised that some of
the chemicals identified during our inspection are classified as hazardous wastes
and thus must be managed accordingly. Upon reinspection of the facility, proper
documentation of transfer, and disposal of any hazardous wastes must be
provided.
Also included with your letter was an analysis report from Calpi, Inc. who
performed some field screening activities at that facility. The report indicates
that sampling was performed only near the plating tanks, and results showed non-
hazardous characteristics. During our inspection, hazardous concentrations were
discovered at locations within the facility, and later verified by analysis at a State
certified laboratory. In order to determine compliance with our Order, a report
documenting your methodology for sample retrieval in accordance with EPA
document SW-846 must be prepared. All samples must be analyzed for
hazardous wastes by a State certified laboratory. Enclosed with this letter is a
diagram of where samples were retrieved from during our inspection which should
assist you in determining where to retrieve further samples.
K.L. Brookshire

The above mentioned report must be provided prior to our reinspection on,
or about the 31st of October 1989. Should you have any questions regarding the
above matters, I may be contacted at (805) 861-3636.

Dear Mr. Yraceburn:
The following program is presented as the initial step toward
elimination of the non-compliance situation at the above site.
1. A site examination has been performed on the building section
containing the plating tanks. The results (attached) show
that there is no sub-surface contamination. Steps will be
taken'to scrape, clean, 'and patch the concrete surface. All
material removed will be stored in suitable containers until
disposal and/or recycling can be arranged.
2. Building 529½ (back of property) will be emptied of all ma-
terials, tested and cleaned. Rental of this building is being
considered. All chemicals presently in this building are to
be transferred to the plating room. Large containers will be
stored with suitable labelling and separation into chemical
classes as safety dictates. The smaller containers will be
placed into closed storage cabinets with suitable labelling
and segregation. These cabinets have been purchased and are
in place. As the items are stored, an inventory will be pre-
pared and MSDS's will be procured. These and a site diagram
will be supplied to the Hazardous Materials Coordinator.
3. I am considering my business options and hope to recover some
of my clientele for small plating jobs. Because of my age,
I intend to limit business to smaller items. Due to this scale-
down, un-needed chemicals are being disposed of (either by sales
or transfers to other concerns), and these disposals will be
duly documented.
These first steps are expected to be completed by October 31st.
If all parties agree to the progress, I will then apply for a

Dear Mr. Brookshire:
On September 7th, CALPI, Inc. personnel ~ampled and haz-cat
tested a total of twelve (12) locations at the Brookshire
Plating Plant. The testing included ph, possible acid radi-
cals (chloride, sulfate, etc.) and metals (chromium, nickel,
etc.) as well as cyanide. The results can be summarized as
follows:
SAMPLE TYPE LOCATION PH OTHER TESTS
1 surface pot room 1 12 sodium hydroxide
2 core door rm 1 7 negative
3 core under tank 7 negative
4 core under tank 5 sulfate(wet sand in hole)
5 surface end of tank 10 sodium hydroxide sulfate
6 core eaten concrete area 7 sulfate, carbonate
7 surface spill in walk area 5 nickel sulfate
8 surface near tank 11 carbonate
9 core between tanks 7 negative
10 surface between tanks 10 nickel
11 surface wood at tank bottom 12 carbonate
12 surface near chrome tank 11 carbonate
With the excePtion of the bag spill (sample 7), all positive
were at a low level.
Brookshire Plating
Page 2
September 11, 1989
No Chromium was found in any samples. Nickel was found only
in two areas, both surface samples. Since no core samples
showed heavy metals, there does not appear to be any sub-
surface contamination.
The problems in building appear to be minor and could be clear-
ed up with good housekeeping and scraping and cleaning under and
around the tanks. Repairs to the corroded wood frames and re-
surfacing of certain of the concrete floors is also in order.
This is especially t~ue in the area leading to the side door in
the tank room.
If you have any questions, please call.
