These differences between field procedures plus consideration of variations in soil texture and other
soil properties provide some explanation for the lack of correlation between volatile hydrocarbon
concentrations reported from field observations and reports of laboratory analYSes.
The discrepancy between reports of lab analyses of samples B 1-20 and B4-50 can be explained by
their location in the gasoline plume. Sample B1-20 was direcfly beneath the leaky underground tank
and was in the path of percolating, liquid gasoline. As long as there was a source of liquid it
.continued to move downward through the soil in response to gravity and, perhaps to a lesser extent,
due to capillary pull which moves the liquid from greater saturation towards lower saturation, that is,
downward and laterally. In cleaner, sandy soil the dominant movement is downward due to gravity.
Twenty-seven feet south of boring B-l, beyond the lateral extent of the percolating-Ii, quid plume, it
can be supposed that the gasoline in the soil consists of only Vapor which got there by gaseous
diffusion. Both of those samples readily produced an instant reading in the field of 400 ppm on the
PID. But, when subjected to solvent extraction in the lab, B1-20, which contained residual liquid
gasoline, was reported to contain 10 times the amount of gasoline constituents reported in B4-50.
Discontinuing of drilling within a zone of gasoline contamination took place in some borings at this
site, but because of the distribution of sandy and clayey beds logged, the information obtained is
believed to provide satisfactory control for the plume, as depicted, even though it is not totally
defined. In this instance there was a departure from the usual procedures and the Site
Characterization Workplan in' the subject of .drilling sequence and, consequenfly, the depth of the
borings. It is believed, however, that the conclusions and remediafion recommendation in the Site
Assessment Report are well supported.
RISK TO GROUNDWATER
Supplemental to the Risk Assessment Analysis,. February 26, 1991, is this discussion of the
migration of the most mobile gasoline constituent, benzene, by vapor diffusion, the dominant
transport mechanism in unsaturated soil. Without the benefit of a mathematical rendering, diffusion
downward to the water table is an avenue of exposure to humans in' the same manner as upward
migration to the atmosphere is an avenue of exposure to humans.
Two significant mitigating conditions are operative in the model:
1. The distance to the surface is only 20 feet in the Health Risk Analysis which addresses the risk
to people working in the parking area above the plume. The level of risk at the surface is well
below the acceptable level. The distance to groundwater is 70 feet (almost four times the
distance) below the base of the plume (which is characterized by gasoline, concentrations in the
soil three orders of magnitude less than at the 20-foot depth).
Mr. Joe Canas "
Environmerital Health Department
February. 27, 1991
Page Ttiree
2. When the benzene molecUles reach the water they will be dissolved until an equilibrium is
reached. Governing the solubility of the benzene are temperature, pressure, and the partial
pressure of other gasses in solution. Research data necessary to enable the prediction of the
.concentrations of water-soluble gasses migrating downward to the groundwater have not been
'.modeled for use in this sort of situation.
It is reason.able t.o say, however, that the exposure' to a human by daily ingestion of a few pints of
water containing I~enzene in equilibrium with the diffused vapor moving downward 70 feet from Iow
concentrations at the bottom of the gasoline plume is less than the exposure that a person would
experience while breathing 240 cubic meters of air per day containing the benzene from a high
concentration 20 feet below the ground surface. If exposure to the air is acceptable then possible
exposure to the water would also be acceptable.
If you have any questions please call (805) 835-7700.
Very truly yours,

Re: RISK ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
International Fertilizer and

located 1516 East BrundageLane,
Bakersfield, California
Dear Mr. Canas;
The Risk Assessment Analysis discussed herein addresses potential
health risks to future biological receptors working on the IFFCO
site located at 1516 E. Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, CA, requested
in your November 2, 1990, letter. Groundwater Resources,. Inc.
(GRI), a RESNA Industries Company, submitted a Site Assessment
Report to KCEHS on September 18, 1990, recommending "capping and
sealing" of the contaminant plume; and the following is a
discussion of the health risks from benzene migration through ~the
soil to the surface2
Based on the estimated lifetime average daily dose (LADD) and risk
values for the above referenced site, no potential health risks to
receptors exists. Therefore, GRI recommend's that capping and
sealing is a viable remediation alternative.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Risks to people andthe surface environment from hydrocarbon vapors
migrating upward from the contaminated soil mass beneath the site
are considered to be acceptable. An effort is made to evaluate the
health risks due to exposure from benzene volatilizing from the
soil and entering the outside work area of the IFFC0 facility.
Benzene was used because it is the only identified carcinogen
present. The assessment shows the 'affected area to be located
under the large parking area west of the warehouse facility and
southeast of the railroad right-of-way. Capping and sealing with
asphalt, installing surface drainage designed .to prevent allow
ponding and percolation of rainwater, and removing all possible
underground piping will effectively mitigate potential health risks
to receptors at this site.

The highest benzene concentration, 240 ppm, occurs 20 feet directly
below the former gasoline tank site. This maximum benzene
concentration and the 20-foot depth will be employed in all
calculations to determine potential health risks. .Laboratory
determined values for soil properties at the site were not
available. Assuming a sediment matrix consisting primarily of
unconsolidated medium to coarse sand with a low moisture content,
the following parameters were estimated:
Porosity 0.40
Bulk Density 2.00
Moisture Content 0114
The approach used for the risk assessment is based in part on the
methods and logic presented in The California Site Mitigation
Decision Tree Manual(l) and Environmental Protection Agency
guidelines(2) for benzene.
2.0 PROCEDURE
The first step in the risk evaluation process is the calculation
of the steady state flux of benzene through the soil matrix
assuming a non-diminishing source at some distance below ground
level. This determination requires the knowledge Of benzene's
coefficients of diffusion in air, and through the soil as well as
the vapor phase concentration of the substance at the source.
Knowing the vapor phase flux through the soil, the approximate
volume of air a receptor would occupy at the site in an "open air"
scenario, wind speed and leakage rate through the asphalt cap,
benzene vapor concentration over the site can be estimated. Taking
a worse case scenario of a person working their entire 45 year
occupational lifetime at the business, a Lifetime Average Daily
Dose (LADD) received by inhalation can be derived, as wh~le as a
Risk by Exposure. .
Benzene exposure to workers at the. site is based on calculations
estimating the rate of chemical emission from the soil. This rate
is influenced by such factors as the degree of partitioning of
benzene between.vapor, soluble and non- aqueous phases, the rate
and degree of movement of the various phases through the soil, soil
Properties, and environmental factors such as temperature, moisture
and surface conditions. The general approach used, is to take the
dominant transport mechanism, in this case vapor diffusiOn, and

model the process. The model used is based on one developed to
predict emissions from landfills by Thibodeaux and Hwang(3)2 It
assumes steady-state fluxes for a non-diminishing source at a ·
specific depth below the ground surface. The applicable equation
F=

Where:
F = Steady-state vapor flux through a soil matrix, from a

values are the highest concentrations encountered at
the site.

BENZENE CONCEN=I~%TION IN OUTDOOR AIR
Knowing the vapor flux through the soil, an estimate can be made
of the concentration of benzene in the outdoor air by developing
a "box" model (10' x 2') which contains a volume of 40 cubic feet
(1.5 cubic meters).
The average wind velocity for this area 'is 6..5 mph (10,460 m/hr)
based on personnel communication with the U.S. Weather Bureau in
Bakersfield, CA.
Mr. Joe canas

The concentration of benzene in the outdoor air is predicted by the
equation:
Cb= (F)(L) ud
Where:
F= Steady-state vapor flux through a soil matrix
(mg/m~-day) ·
L= Length of "box" (10 m)
u= Wind speed (10,460 m/hr)
d= Height of "box" (2 m)
Cb= 8.58 E-5 mg/m3
RISK BY EXPOSUI~E
In order to eStimate the health risks associated with exposure
to benzene, a very conservative approach was used based on a
individual working at the company for an entire occupational
lifetime of' 45 years, 5 days a week and 50 weeks a year with
an inhalation rate of 10 ~3~ ior Thean averaget°tal lifetimedaily volumeinhaledof
volume is equal to 1.58 $+5~r
6.2 m3/day).
Exposure is the product of contaminant concentration (Cb) and
air volume inhaled calculated by the following equation:
LADD= (Cb~¢A~(I~ Cw
Where:
LADD= Lifetime average daily dose (mg/kg~day)
Cb = Benzene concentration in air (mg/m~)
A = Inhalation bioavailability - fraction of
benzene inhaled (100%)
I = Average daily volume inhaled (mS/day)
Cw = Average body weight (kg)
LADD= 7.6 E-6 mg/kg-day
Mr. Joe canas
Environmental Health Services

The Carcinogenic risk associated with a specific exposure can
be estimated by the following:
R ='P'E
Where:
R = Risk associated with a specific exposure
P'= Benzene adjusted potency factor [mg/lifetime
.exposure]E-1 = 1.63E-8 (USEPA) - derived from
epidemiological studies on cancer induced
leukemia.
E = ExpoSure (inhaled volume in m3/lifetime
exposure times the benzene concentration)
R= 1.7 E-7
3.0 SUMMARY
Based on the estimated LADD and risk values detailed above,
potential health risks to biological receptors at this site
are acceptable, and well below established guidelines set by
the Department of Health Services and Environmental Protection
Agency. The calculated value of outdoor benzene vapor
concentrations of 8.58 E-5 mg/m3 is below the DOHS Applied
Action Level in ambient air ( 3.2 E-3 mg/m3). Based on a
receptor working 45 years at this site, a LADD of 7.6 E-6
.mg/kg-day, is estimated. ~This result when compared to the
3.0 E-4 mg/kg-day, considered to result in a 1 and 100,000
excess cancer risk under CDHS Proposition 65 guidelines,
signifies that no potential health risks exists.
The potential for carcinogenic health effects can also be
evaluated by multiplying the lifetime benzene exposure
(inhaled volume times the benzene concentration) with an
adjusted potency factor (USEPA) to derive a carcinogenic
risk associated with a specific exposure to benzene. In
general, regulatory agencies have found that a risk in excess
of 1 in 1 million is acceptable. In some instances risks of
1 in 100,000 are used in setting environment standards. At
the International Fertilizer and Feed Company site a risk of
1.7 E-7 was derived, well in excess of the E-6 criteria.'

· Re: Site Characterization Results
Dear Mr. Young:
The review of the site characterization results has been completed by this
Department for the International Fertilizer and Feed Company.facility located at
1516 East Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, California.
Our review has dete~ined the results to be inconclusive in delineating the
extent of vertical and lateral contaminant migration. The review of the boring
logs revealed a lack of correlation between the field screening and laborato~
analytical results. In addition the logs indicate that drilling was discontinued
within a zone of detected contamination. As a result of insufficient supporting
info~ation being provided to evaluatethe recommended remediation method, further
site investigation is required.
The selection of the "no action" or capping and sealing method of remediation
should include a risk evaluation. The risk evaluation should include calculations
on contaminant movement.
Should you have any questions regarding the above subject matter, I maybe
contacted at {805) 861-3636, Ext. 588.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report by Groundwater Resources Inc (GRI) presents the results of a site assessment at the
International Fertilizer and Feed ComPany (IFFCO) at 1516 E. Brundage, Bakersfield, California.
Recommendations are also made regarding remediation alternatives.
2.0'. BACKGROUND
I' On May 27, 1988, a 10,000 gallon diesel underground tank and a 1,000 gallon gasoline underground
[ tank were removed from the IFFCO facility on E. Brundage. Benzene and Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons (TPH) from the soil samples collected below the gasoline tank were rep?ted as.
· 1..~ follows:
Benzene, ppm TPH, ppm
!.
I Gasoline tank at 2 ft 3.6 1,990
Gasoline tank at 6 ft 21.49 7,548
Soil samples from below the diesel tank contained no reported hydrocarbons. An assessment was
requested to determine the extent of the gasoline plume.. The assessment work was performed on two
dates, as follows: on April 26, after three borings were made and sampled, it was decided to delay
completion of the assessment until results of laboratory analysis of soil samples could be reviewed.
On ~uly 2, 1990 work was resumed to make and sample two more borings which more fully defined
the gasoline plume.
3.0 BORINGS AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES
A total of five borings were made in the contaminated area (Plot Plan, Plate 2) in order to determine
the dimensions of the plume. The borings were made with 8-inch diameter, continuous-flight, hollow-
stem auger equipment. Drilling was performed by Melton Drilling of Bakersfield, under the
supervision of a GRI geologist. The cores were described as they were acquired and the core-sample
tubes were immediately° sealed and chilled. Logs of each boring are presented in Plates 5 through 9.
The core samples were delivered with chain of custody to the certified SMC Laboratory in Bakersfield
for analysis.
Augers and downhole equipment, including samplers, were steam cleaned between successive borings
to avoid cross-contamination, according to the Sampling Protocol in Appendix B.
4.0 FINDINGS
4.1 Borings and Soil Sample Analyses

Boring B-1, at the center of the former tank location, encountered gasoline residue in the sandy soil
below the level of the tank bottom. Silty, fine sand with distinct gasoline odor characterized the soil
to depths below 60 feet. Sandy silt and clay beds were also logged below 60 feet but the
photoionization detector (PID) readings were generally less in the finer textured beds. In medium sand
at 105 feet the lab reported gasoline constituents to be None Detected (ND). A clay bed at 115 total
depth was reported to contain .11 ppm Benzene and 4.4 ppm TPH.
Boring B-2, located 30 feet west of B-l, encountered silty, frae sand and sandy silt with faint to
moderate gasoline odor. A decreased odor intensity at 60 feet was interpreted to represent proximity
to the lower margin of the plume. Although the laboratory reported ND gasoline constituents at 45
feet, the Benzene at 60 feet was 0.82 ppm and the TPH was 8.0 ppm.
Boring B-3 was aborted at a depth of 10 feet in favor of a location 10 feet further south.

· - IFFCO
Boring B-4, located 27 feet south of B- 1, was augered in sand and silt with gasoline odor. Fine, silty
sand from total depth of 50 feet was reported to contain 68 ppm Benzene and 3500 ppm TPH.
Boring B-5, located 50 feet northwest of B-l, encountered sandy silt and silty sand. Sands at 30 and
45 feet were reported ND for Benzene and TPH while at total depth of 60 feet a firm, silty sandwas
reported having 0.95 ppm Benzene and 4.4 ppm TPH.
4.2 Hydrogeology
This site is located near the east margin of the modem Kern River alluvial fan. River
sand and silt of the fan onlap and wedge out one mile northeast onto Plio-Pleistocene non-marine
.coarse alluvium which makes up the low hills northeast of Bakersfield (1). The sediments penetrated
by the boreholes at this site are river channel and overbank deposits of clayey, silty sands and silts.
There is only a relatively small amount of s~atigraphic variation in texture, as' the sands become
slightly more clayey and silty below 60 feet.
Kern County Water Agency reported the depth to unconfined groundwater in the spring of 1990 to
be 185 feet below ground level at this site.2
~ >- ~oo'
5.0 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
The vertical cross-sections, Plates 3 and 4, through the borings and former tank location, show boring
log data, lab results for selected core samples and grab samples taken during tank removal. In the cross-
section the plume is shown to have spread in the interval of 50 feet to 65 feet in depth.
The plume is assumed to be circular in plan view. By extrapolation of decreasing Benzene
concentrations with increasing distance from the central source, the diameter of the plume of 0.7 ppm
Benzene, or greater, is 110 feet at a depth of 60 feet to possibly 80 feet. With an allowance for some
lack of correlation between PID field readings and certified lab analyses, the base of the plume is
probably observed in boring B-1 at about 95 feet.
6.0 REMEDIATION ALTERNATIVES
6.1 No Action Alternative
No short term threat to air, soil, surface waters, or to bioreceptors exists because of the
presence of the gasoline plume in its present state. It is below the surface ora parking lot, cannot be seen
or smelled, and is not in contact with anything or anybody which might be harmed immediately. :
A long term threat does exist, however, due to the volatility of gasoline and the water-solubility and
mobility of its constituents, particularly Benzene. This site does not meet the screening criteria in Tables
2-1, 2-2, or 2-3 of the LUFT Manual.4 As an alternative to "No Action," the following is recommended.
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990/Page 3 GROUNDWATER RESOURCES INC~
IFFCO
6.2 Capping and Sealing The Site
The gasoline plume will undergo natural degradation, but as long as the gasoline plume
exists, an acceptable mitigation technique could involve the removal of any situation or condition which
might constitute a threat to bioreceptors. To establish safe conditions, underground smactures such as
pipe or conduit known to exist under the surface should be removed. The site should be surveyed and/
or capped with asphalt paving to establish certain drainage of surface water from the area overlying the
gasoline plume. Future placement of a building over the area or storage of drums which might cream
air spaces in which an explosive mixture might accumulate should be avoided. Permanent or long term
work-stations over the area of the plume should not be established in which people would be exposed
to mobile gasoline constituents which might migrate to the ground surface. Thus, by preventing a
situation where people passing through the area are not endangered and by preventing the percolation
of surface water through the plume, the long term aspects of the presence of the plume can be mitigated.
6.3 Excavation and Aeration of Soil
The work involved in excavation of the gasoline plume to a depth of 30 feet followed by
backfilling and compaction could be done in about three weeks. Gasoline residue remaining below 30
feet will diffuse upward to the surface, but preliminary calculations indicate that after backfilling, the
gasoline hydrocarbons, specifically Benzene, would present a risk of cancer less than one in a million
to people working at the site. The plume remaining below 30 feet could be protected at the suffac~ by
grading and re-paving to insure surface-water runoff.
It is anticipated that the upper 10 feet of a cylinder 60 feet in diameter would not require remediafion.
The part of the plume to be aerated, inside a cylinder 60 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep (between 10
and 30 feet in depth) is 2,093 cubic yards and would require 56,520 square feet (200 ft. x 283 ft.) to spread
in a layer one foot thick for aeration. To slope the sides of the excavation to CALOSHA safety
specifications would make the hole 120 feet in diameter (7,800 cubic yard), allowing no room for IFFCO
operations. The cost of excavating, backfilling and compacting the soil would be approximately
$60,000, an amount not including remediation or disposal of the excavated plume material.
Work space considerations at this site and the length of time that the entire area would be out of
commission precludes further consideration of this alternative.
6.4 Vapor Extraction and Thermal Oxidation
Vapor extraction is a method which uses wells with slotted casing positioned in the
gasoline plume. A vacuum created in each extraction well could pull soil-air and gasoline vapor to the
well and then to a remediation system at the surface in which the gasoline-air mixture is used to fuel an
internal combustion engine. The soil texture at this site should allow adequate air flow to remove the
gasoline. Although layers of silt and clay could interfere with the flow, vapor extraction can be expected
to perform complete remediation of the plume. Vapor extraction wells and piping could be installed
below grade and other surface equipment could be located at a remote location to prevent interference
withnormal traffic at the site.
Estimates derived, in part, from USEPA publications3 Place the' cost of remediation by vapor extraction
with an internal combustion engine at about $20 per cubic yard, i.e. for remediation of a volume of soil
SEPTEMBER 18, 1990/Page 4 GROUNDWATER REsoURcEs INC.
IFFCO
II
equal to that which could be excavated the cost would be 2,093 cubic yards, x $20 per cubic yard =
$41,860. ff the lower par~ of the plume were left in place the surface could be graded and paved for
protection 'from surface water.
ffthe entire plume were to be remediatcd to a depth of 90 feet the cost would probably be less than $20
per cubic yard because, after the initially high concentrations have been extracted, the internal
combustion engine could be replaced with granular activated carbon (GAC) ~ters which are less
expensive to operate with low concentration levels. The calculated volume of the contaminated soil in
the entire plume is 8160 cubic yards. At $15 per cubic yard, the cost of remediation would be $122,400.
These cost estimates were made for comparitive use only and would be re-calculated for specific
planning purposes.
Construction of vapor extraction wells in four existing boreholes would be proposed (Plot Plan, Plate 2).
Under permit from the Kern Air Pollution Control District (APCD), a plan for construction of surface
equipment could be implemented. The extraction wells can be designed to maximize the withdrawal of
the plume, based on the stratigraphic information from the borings. Source-test information (vapor
concentrations) can be obtained from the wells to determine the feasibility of using the proposed internal
combustion engine to burn the vapors in the initial phase of remediation.
A later phase of remediation could entail construction of an extraction well to remediate the northeast
quadrant of the plume. As vapor concentration levels decrease, the internal combustion engine could be
replaced with granular activated Carbon (GAC) to adsorb the hydrocarbons for subsequent incineration.
7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS .
It is recommemded that the entire surface of the ground over the gasoline plume be capped and sealed.
This is compatible with the ,long term use of the property.

TEST BORING PROCEDURES
I. Soil Samp'ling Protocol
f" ~The following procedures are following during soil sampling
L opera:ions u~illzing ~he hollow s=em auger drl,'iling ~echnlque.
I" A. Hollow Stem Auger
1. Soil borings drilled, by the hollow sCem auger utilize
ii. continuous flight hollow stem augers.
!- 2. Augers, sampler§ and all aownhole equipment are steam
c'leanea prior to use. In the fielU steam cleaning is
done between borings to minimize the potential for
,~ .cross-contamination.
3. A G.R.I. geologist observes the work, visually logs
the soils, an~ collects samples at appropriate
intervals.
4. The Unified'Soils Classification System is utilizeO
to classify soils encountered. A~aitiona'l 9eo'logica'{
observations are noted as appropriate.
5. Soil samples destined for l~Doratory analys~s are
collected by a modified California Spli: Spoon. This
sampler uses three, six anch long, Dy two and one-
half inch diameter (o.d.) tubes.
Various t~;bes can be u~ilized to accommodate the type of
~nalysis n~cessary:
Brass - All organics and general analyses
(no: %o be used for copper or z3nc

MONITORING WELL SAMPLING PROTOCOL
II. GroUndwater Sampling
~ A. All equipment that is used in a monitoring well for
purging, sampling, or depth measurement is decontaminated
by steam cleaning or a TSP wash and rinse procedure prior
=o use and before re-using when more than one sample is
collected.
B. Purge Volume Determination
The following procedure is followed ~o determine the
appropriate purging, volume prior to we'll sampling.
1. The depth-to-water is measured Dy a clean, electric
level indicator. Measurement datum is ~he ~op of
well protector.
2. Depth to the bottom of the well is measured by a
clean tape and plumb Dob. If possible, this is
compared to the well construction log ~o aetermine
inconsistencies, i.e. damaged casing, sedimen~ in
casing, etc.
3. Water volume is calculated Dy using ~he total wa:er
depth and :he inside diameter of the casing.
C. Well Purging and Sampling
1. P, irior to sampling, a minimum of three to f~ve well
volumes e~re purged from each well to ensure t.l~t water
sampled is representa=ive or' ~,he 9rounOwa[er within

Dear Mr. Engelhardt:
This Department has completed the review of the site
characterization workplan for the International'Fertilizer and Feed
Company located at 1516 East Brundage in Bakersfield, California.
After review of the submitted workplan addendum dated March
7, 1990, it has been determined that approval for implementation
is granted. Please advise this office 48 hours in advance of
proposed boring date.
Should you have any questions regarding the above subject'

Page 2, paragraph 2 under ~he heading Proposed Borings has been
revised to eliminate the statement .about verifying ]ack of
contamination a~ the diesel tank. No diesel constituents were
found in ~he preliminary si~e assessment and further analyses for
these components is not considered necessary. The purpose
boring ~2 is to evaluate the lateral spread of contamination 15
feet from ~he point of orig~n at the gasoline tank.
Page 2, paragraph 4 under the heading Proposed Borings has been
revised to eliminate' the statemen~ about a pro3ected 40 foot depth
for p]annin9 purposes. No depth for [hese ho]es is predetermined.
The depth reached depends on the contamination found
drilling.
The p]o~ plan has also been altered. The borings are designated
on the plot plan as borings B-l, B-2 and B-3. The scale was
changed to "one inch equals 30 feet."

Re: Site Characterization Workplan
International Fertilizer and Feed Co.
1516 E. Brundage
Bakersfield California
Dear Mr. Canas,
Groundwater Resources, Inc. has been retained to assess the fu]l
extent of contamination caused by a gasoline discharge at the
International Fertilizer and Feed Co. (IFFCO) property in
Bakersfield. The following workplan is proposed for the site
characterization.
BACKGROUND
On May 27, 1988, a '10,000 gallon diesel underground tank and a
1,000 gallon gasoline underground tank were removed from the [FFCO
facility in Bakersfield. Apex Environmental performed the required
preliminary site assessment. Soil samples were collected from two
and six feet beneath the gasoline tank. Significant contamination
increasing with depth was indicated. The results for benzene and
TPH (gasoline) are ]isted below.
BENZENE (ppm) TPH (ppm)
Gasoline Tank @ 2 ft. 3.60 1990,16
Gaso]ine Tank @ 6 ft. 21.49 '7547.56
Soil samples were retrieved at the south and north ends of the
diesel tank at a depth of two and six feet below the bottom. No
hydrocarbons were detected. The dispenser location at the south
end of the diesel tank was not sampled. All chemical analyses were
performed by BC Laboratories in Bakersfield. The complete
laboratory results.are attached.

The tanks at the IFFCO site were installed in 1960 or 1961 and
remained in service until 1967.
PROPOSED BORINGS
Groundwater Resources will investigate this site with three borings
(see plot plan). Boring ~1 will be located directly over the
former gasoline tank and will evaluate the vertical extent of the
gasoline plume at its point of origin.
Boring ~2 will be centered over the former diesel tank. This hole
will assess the lateral extent of the contaminant plume at a point
15 feet from the gasoline tank.
Boring ~3 will be placed ten feet south of the first hole. This
locationwill help determine the lateral spread of the vadose plume
south of the gasoline tank, at a intermediate distance from the
source.
All borings will be advanced to a depth of 10 feet beyond the base
of the last detected volatile organic c'ompounds as determined by
field methods.
GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
The [FFCO site is located in southeast Bakersfield. The area is
underlain by coarse gravels and sands deposited by the Kern River.
Haps published by the Kern County Water Agency and the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation show the depth to the unconfined water table to be
approximately 180 feet; however the Kern County Water Agency report
also shows the presence of perched water immediately to the south
of the site.
[f perched water is present at this locality and soil is found to
be contaminated down to the top of water, one boring will be
completed as a monitoring well. Operations can be suspended and
permits obtained from the Kern County Department of Health Services
on short notice should this eventuality occur.
PROCEDURES
The borings will be made with a hollow stem auger drilling rig.
Samples will be obtained every five feet with a California Split
Spoon Sampler. A GRI geologist will describe the samples, screen
them with a photoionization.detector and seal them in brass sleeves
with teflon or aluminum lined caps. The samples will be chilled

to four degrees Celsius and then taken to SMC Laboratory, 3155
Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, for analysis under a chain of custody
document. Selected samples will be analyzed for BTXE and TPH
(gasoline).
Should a water monitoring well be necessary, it would be installed
in accordance with Kern County Handbook UT-50. Permits would be
obtained prior to construction. The well would be completed with
two inch PVC casing, with a ten foot screen at the bottom placed
with one half of the open interval above the water table and one
half below, A sand filter pack would be emplaced from total depth
to two .feet above the perforations, followed by three feet of
bentonite seal. The hole would then be cemented to the surface.
The wellhead would be fitted with a lockable cap and protected with
a traffic box set in a cement slab' continuous with the annular
cement seal. The traffic box would be placed slightly above grade
to prevent drainage towards the well.
Augers will be steam cleaned between holes to prevent cross-
contamination. Contaminated soil brought to the surface by the
drilling operations will be stored in drums for later disposal at
a proper facility. The ho]es wi]] be abandoned by filling them
with cement slurry by the tremie method.
All GRI employees have received the Health and Safety training
required by OSHA for hazardous waste site operations (29. CFR
1910.120). While conducting the borings personnel wi]] be equipped
with a photoionization detector and LEL-oxyygenmeter with which to
monitor the air for 'organic vapors and combustible gases.
Personnel are also issued air-purifying respirators (APR) with
organic vapor canisters which can be donned if comditions warrant.
One se]f-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is also available on
location.
Gasoline fuel constituents are the identified hazardous substances
at the IFFCO site. The more volatile components, especially
benzene pose the greatest health hazard. The permissible exposure
limit for benzene is 10 ppm, which was exceeded in the soil sample
from six feet. The quantity of volatiles liberated into the air
during drilling is problematical, but probably will be less than
found in the soil. Under these conditions personnel wi]] work
under "Class D" protection. If odors and elevated readings are
noted on air monitoring equipment, APRs will be put on and
operations suspended till site safety is evaluated. Colorimeter
tubes can be used to determine the concentrations of specific
contaminants in the air. The GRI 'Health and Safety Manual is
enclosed for you review.

charac~er~ za[~on.
BACKGROUND
On May 27, 1988, a 10,000 gallon diesel underground tank and a
1,000 gallon gasoline underground tank were removed from the [FFCO
facility in Bakersfield. Apex Environmental performed the required
,preliminary site assessment. Soil samples were collected from two
and six feet beneath the gasoline tank. Significant contamination
increasing with depth was indicated. The results for benzene and
TPH (gasoline) are listed below.
BENZENE (ppm) TPH (,ppm)
Gasoline Tank e 2'ft. 3.60 1990.16
Gasoline Tank a 6 ft. 21.49 7547.56
Soil samples were retrieved at the south and north ends of the
diesel tank at a'depth of two and six feet below the bottom. No
hydrocarbons were detected. The dispenser location at the south
end of the diesel tank was not sampled. All chemical analyses were
performed by BC Laboratories 'in Bakersfi. eld. The complete
laboratory results are attached.

The tanks at the IFFCO site were installed in 1960 or 1961 and
remained in service until 1967.
PROPOSED BORINGS
Groundwater Resources will investigate this site with three borings
(see plot plan). Boring #1 will be located directly over the
former gasoline tank and will evaluate the vertical extent of the
gasoline plume at its point of origin.
Boring #2 will be centered over the former diesel tank. This hole
will assess the lateral extent of the contaminant plume at a point
15 feet from the gasoline tank and will also verify/the lack of
contamination found at the diesel tank during the initjal,,sampligg.
Boring ~3 will be placed ten feet south of the first hole. This s~~
location will help determine the lateral spread of the vadose plumeTP~
south of the gasoline tank, at a intermediate distance from the
source.
All borings will be advanced to a depth of 10 feet beyond the base
of the last detected volatile organic compounds as determined by
field methods. For planning purposes a depth of 40 feet is
projected for the holes.
GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
The [FFCO site is located in southeast Bakersfield. The area is
underlain by coarse gravels and sands deposited by the Kern River.
Haps published by the Kern County Water Agency and the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation show the depth to the Unconfined water table to be
approximately 180 feet; however the Kern County Water Agency report
also shows the presence of perched water immediately to the south
of the site.
If perched water is'present.at this locality and soil is found to
be contaminated down to the top of water, one boring will be
completed as a monitoring well. Operations can' be suspended and
permits obtained from the Kern County Department of Health Services
on short notice should this eventuality occur.
PROCEDURES
The borings will be made with a hollow stem auger ~rilling rig..
Samples will be obtained every five feet with a California Split
Spoon Sampler. A GRI geologist will describe the samples, screen

them with a photoionization detector and'seal them in brass sleeves
with teflon or aluminum lined caps. The samples will be chilled
to four degrees Celsius and then taken to SMC Laboratory, 3155
Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, for analysis under a chain of custody
document. Selected samples will be analyzed for BTXE and TPH
(gasoline).
Should a water monitoring well be necessary, it would be installed
in accordance with Kern County Handbook UT-50. Permits would be
obtained prior to construction. The well would be completed with
two inch PVC casing, with a ten foot screen at the bottom placed
with one half of the open interval above the water table and one
half below. A sand filter pack would be emplaced from total depth
to two feet above the perforations, followed by three feet of
bentonite seal. The hole would then be cemented to the surface.
The wellhead would be fitted with a lockable cap and protected with
a traffic box set in a cement slab continuous with the annular
cement seal. The traffic box would be placed slightly above grade
to prevent drainage towards the well.
Augers will be steam cleaned between holes' to prevent cross-
contamination. Contaminated soil brought to the surface by the
drilling operations will be stored in drums for later disposal at
a proper facility. The holes will be abandoned by filling them
.with cement slurry by the tremie method.
All GRI employees have received the Health and Safety training
required by OSHA for hazardous waste site operations (29 CFR
1910.120). While conducting the borings personnel will be equipped
with a photoionization detector and LEL-oxyygenmeter with which to
monitor the air for organic vapors and combustible gases.
Personnel are also issued air-purifying respirators (APR) with
organic vapor canisters which can be donned if conditions warrant.
One self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is also available on
location.
Gasoline fuel constituents are the identified hazardous substances
at the IFFCO site. The more volatile components, especially
benzene pose the greatest health hazard. The permissible exposure
limit for benzene is 10 ppm, which was exceeded in the soil sample
from six feet. The quantity of volatiles liberated into the air
during drilling is problematical, but'probably will be less than
~\L~._ .~¢~ found in the soil. Under these conditions personnel will work
V'~? '~nder ~C~q~-~-~rotection. If odors and elevated readings are
;'.J" noted on air monitoring equipment, APRs will be put on and
~":?' Operations suspended till site safety'is evaluated. Colorimeter
tubes ,can be used to determine the concentrations of specific
contaminants in the air. The GRI Health 'and Safety Manual .is
enclosed for you review. ~ ~"

"C") of this site has been reviewed by Environmental Health to determine the
potential threat for groundwater contamination. Only sites determined to be non-
'environmentally sensitive may enroll in the Local Option Agreement. The site
described above is not in an environmentally sensitive area and may be enrolled
in the Local Option Agreement; however, the County of Kern reserves the right
t° cancel any Locai Option Agreement, should it be discovered that groundwater
contamination or a unique, complex hydrogeoiogical condition exists. In such
cases, Environmental Health will utilize the State contract to pay for County
oversight 'activities. The County of Kern reserves this right for any site even-
when the site is located in a non-environmentally sensitive area.
It is necessary for you to respond in writing within ten (10) calendar days
