The results of our investigation may be found in the attached report. A summary of our findings may be found below. The subject site consists of two parcels located between Pierce Road and Highway 99 in Bakersfield, California. The northern parcel, identified by Kern County Assessors Parcel Number 332-04-24, is occupied by the former Grossman's building and an asphaltic concrete paved parking lot. The building, located at 3917 Pierce Road, is metal framed with sheet metal walls, on a concrete slab foundation. A fire sprinkler system, air conditioning ducts, and fluorescent lighting are suspended from the ceiling. Skylights are also incorporated into the ceiling. Two restrooms are located in the northwest corner of the building. A small office is located above the restrooms. The restrooms and offices are constructed of wood with vinyl sheet linoleum floors. Three additional offices are located in the southeast corner of the building. These offices are also constructed of wood with vinyl sheet linoleum floors. Electrical panels and water mains are located along the central portion of the eastern building wall near the main entrance. The building is mostly empty with the exception of a reception desk, some shelves, cardboard storage tubes, and miscellaneous debris. The remainder of the northern parcel is occupied by the above mentioned parking lot and a concrete slab, t'enced FEB ? 1995 By. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 2 storage area. Street lamps, a PG&E owned pad mounted transformer, and a commercial sign are located in the parking lot area. The PG&E transformer appeared to be in good condition and displayed no evidence of leaks or spills. According to Mr. Tom Agilar of the PG&E Bakersfield office, this transformer was installed in 1978 and has never been tested for the presence of poly chlorinated biphenyl (PCB's) fluids. Mr. Agilar stated that this testing could be done by PG&E upon request, but it is his personal opinion that this transformer would not contain any PCB's above allowable limits if tested. A small landscaping strip is located between the parking lot and the sidewalk. Pole mounted electrical utility lines border the site to the east. A chain link fence borders the northern parcel on the north, south, and west. The concrete slab storage area is divided by and surrounded by chain link fencing with barbed wire and concertina wire at the top. This area is vacant with the exception of the security system motion sensors, and a large commercial sign with broken glass beneath it. The southern parcel comprising the subject site, identified by Kern County Assessors Parcel Number 332-04-23, consists of a relatively fiat vacant lot. The lot is covered with gravel and miscellaneous debris. This debris consists of automobile parts, scrap metal and household garbage. Pieces of cement and asphaltic concrete are scattered throughout the southern parcel indicating that it may have been paved at one time. In the southwestern corner of the southern parcel, there are six square concrete supports that are reported to have supported a large commercial sign. During the physical inspection of the site, exposed surface soils appeared clean and did not exhibit obvious signs of contamination. No acrid or pungent odors were noted to emanate from the subject property during our 'field inspection. No obvious visual evidence (vent pipes, fill pipes, dispensers, etc.) of underground fuel storage tanks was noted within the area observed. No standing water or major depressions were observed on the subject property. The City of Bakersfield Building Department, the Kern County Planning and Development Services, aerial photographs, interviews with persons knowledgeable about the subject site, and Polk Directories for the City of Bakersfield were consulted in an effort to construct a history of the subject site. The northern portion of the subject site is currently occupied by the former Grossman's building at 3917 Pierce Road. According to Building Department records, the building permit for this structure was issued on February 27, 1978. There are no City or County Building Department records for 3917 Pierce Road before this date. Prior to 1978, the Polk Directories indicate that this portion of the subject site was a vacant lot. A 1956 aerial photograph shows a rural residence to be located on this portion of the subject site. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 3 The southern parcel comprising the subject site is currently an unpaved vacant lot. Building Department records show that a permit to demolish a building at 3915 Pierce Road was issued March 4, 1988, and a permit to abandon a water well was issued for 3911 Pierce Road on February 22, 1988. A permit to move a building from 3915 Pierce Road was issued on March 16, 1987. According to the Polk Directories, the southern parcel of the subject site at 3911 and 3915 Pierce Road has been vacant since 1986. From 1960 to 1985, a bar was located at 3911 Pierce Road. This bar operated under the names Suzie's Tavern, Ray & Tiny's Tavern, Bob & Jim's Tavern, Cleata's Bar and Buster's Cocktail Bar Tavern during this time interval. In 1958 this address was the location of Go Transportation Company Trucking, J. R. Nix Trucking, Superior Gypsum, and Griffith's Company Gypsum. These businesses, with the exception of Griffith's Company Gypsum, Were also listed at 3911 Pierce Road in the 1957 Polk Directory. The 1956 Polk Directory lists J. R. Nix Trucking at this location. In 1955, Allyn Tank Line is listed in the Polk Directories for this location. Cities Fuel Corporation was located at this address in 1954. A former tenant of the site has indicated that both Allyn Tank Line and Cities Fuel Corporation were propane/butane distributors. The Polk Directories for 1951 and 1952 list Rand Construction Company at this address. Prior to 1951, there is no listing l!or 3911 Pierce Road in the Polk Directories. From 1981 to 1985, Troy's Towing is listed in the Polk Directories for the portion of the subject site located at 3915 Pierce Road. This address is listed as vacant in 1980. The Southern California Automobile Club was located at 3915 Pierce Road. in 1978 and 1979. This portion of the subject site is listed in the Polk Directories as being vacant from 1973 to 1977. However, a former employee of Troy's Towing has indicated that Troy's Towing had been located at 3915 Pierce Road since at least 1974, and that an underground waste oil storage tank was present behind the Troy's Towing building. This individual also states that the area of the property located at 3911 and 3915 Pierce Road was used as a storage yard for automobiles and oilfield equipment in the 1960's. The Polk Directory lists Automobile Air Conditioning and Radiator at 3915 Pierce Road in 1972. This address is listed as being vacant in 1971. From 1966 to 1970, an agricultural machinery dealer by the name of McClosky Machinery was present at this location. In 1964 and 1965 this address is listed as being vacant. From 1959 to 1963, Delaney & Ahlf Diesel Repair Inc. is listed in the Polk Directories for this location. The owner/operator of Delaney & Ahlf Diesel Repair was contacted regarding the subject site. Mr. Stan Ahlf indicated that he had rented a portion of the subject site for several Years from Mr. George Bailey. During that time, another tenant operated underground diesel fuel storage tanks on the subject site. Mr. Ahlf indicated that he did not believe the tanks had been removed. There is no listing in the Polk Directories for 3915 Pierce Road prior to 1959. KRAZAN & ASSOCIA'rEs, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 4 During research into the history of the subject site, it was discovered that several businesses had been located on the southern parcel of the subject site since the 1950's. Six of these businesses conducted activities that were anticipated to handle hazardous materials. The southern portion of the site is reported to have been used as a storage yard for automobiles and oilfield equipment. Petroleum products and ethylene glycol are the constituents of potential concern. Additionally, Leo Black Electric, the property adjacent and south of the subject site, is listed on the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) list, and the Cortese list with known soil and groundwater contamination from an underground storage tank leak discovered in February 1987. Historically, groundwater beneath the Leo Black Electric property was as shallow as 15 feet below grade in 1987. However, as of April 1991, groundwater was reported to be 50 feet below grade. As of June 1990, the groundwater gradient was to the northwest, toward the subject property. A subsurface investigation was conducted to assess the potential for an adverse impact on soil or groundwater at the subject site as a consequence of the potential environmental concerns detailed above. Four exploratory soil borings and one temporary well were advanced on August 9 and 12, 1991. For the approximate location of the soil borings and temporary well, please see the site map following page 3. The borings were advanced to a depth of 20 feet below grade. During the advancement of each boring soil samples were obtained at five foot intervals. The drilling returns and soil samples were field screened with a Photovac brand portable photoionization detector (PID). The PID readings are noted on the boring logs included in Appendix C. With the exception of boring B2, advanced closest to the highway and oil fields, all PID readings were zero or not detected. The low PID readings in boring B2 may be attributed to ambient air conditions resulting from the nearby highway and oil fields. One temporary groundwater test well was constructed on the subject site and groundwater samples were collected for chemical analysis by means of a Teflon bailer. All samples were handled in accordance with Krazan & Associates standard sampling, handling and chain-of-custody protocols. Selected soil samples and one water sample were analyzed for the presence and concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene using EPA Method 8020/8015, total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel by EPA Method 8015M, ethylene glycol by EPA Method 8015M, and oil and grease by EPA Method 5520 E and F. The results of the chemical analyses reveal that no petroleum constituents were detected in the groundwater at the location and depths sampled. With the exception of sample BI at 20 feet, which contained minor concentrations of oil and grease, none of the soil samples contained any detectable amounts of petroleum constituents or ethylene glycol at the location and depths sampled. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 5 Boring Bi was advanced at the reported location .of the underground waste oil tank that was operated by Troy's Towing. No documentation of the underground waste oil tank installation or removal is present at any local regulatory agency. Theretbre, a backhoe investigation was conducted and two additional exploratory boreholes were drilled in the vicinity of boring BI. This phase of the subsurface investigation was conducted on September 12 and 16, 1991. Several four feet deep by 45 to 60 feet long trenches were dug in an asterix (*) pattern in an attempt to locate the underground waste oil storage tank. No underground storage tanks were discovered at this location, however, a septic system leach field was uncovered. The two additional exploratory boreholes (B5 and B6) were drilled to the north and south of boring BI. Soil samples were collected every five feet and field screened using a Photovac brand portable photoionization detector (PID). The PID readings are noted on the boring logs included in Appendix C. All PID readings on borings B5 and B6 were zero or "not detected". Selected soil samples collected during the second phase of the subsurface investigation were sent to BSK of Fresno, California to be analyzed for the presence and concentration of oil and grease by EPA Method 418.1, and for base, neutral, and acid extractables by EPA Method 8270. The results of the analyses reveal that low concentrations of oil and grease were detected in boring B5 at a depth of 20 feet. However, the sample collected from boring B5 at a depth of 28 feet contained no detectable concentrations of oil and grease, and samples collected from boring B6 contained no detectable levels of oil and grease. Therefore, the lateral and vertical extent of the minor concentrations of oil and grease in soils appears to be confined vertically to a maximum depth of 28 feet, and confined laterally to the area encompassed by boring B1 and boring B5, a radius of approximately 10 feet. No base, neutral or acid extractables were detected at the locations and depths sampled. After conducting the second phase of the subsurface investigation, Krazan and Associates, Inc., received a call from a former tenant of the property. The tenant indicated that he had observed our drill rig at the project site and informed Krazan and Associates of the possible presence of two underground diesel fuel storage tanks near the southern property boundary. An attempt was made to contact other former tenants of the property to verily this information. Mr. Stan Ahlf and Mr. Jack Delaney of Delaney and Ahlf Diesel Repair were contacted regarding the former underground diesel fuel storage tanks. Both Mr. Ahlf and Mr. Delaney recalled the underground diesel fuel storage tank dispensers on site and indicated that they were owned by a "dump truck operator". Neither Mr. Delaney or Mr. Ahlf could remember the name of the business KRAZA.N & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 6 or the name of the operator. However, both Mr. Delaney and Mr. Ahlf agreed to meet a representative of Krazan and Associates at the project site and point out the location of the fuel dispensers. A second backhoe investigation was conducted on September 20, 1991. Several four foot deep trenches were dug in a cross pattern. Two approximately 8,000 gallon underground fuel storage tanks were discovered during this investigation. Both tanks contained approximately four inches of product in the bottom of the tanks. The underground fuel storage tanks are located approximately 120 feet from the western property boundary, and 20 feet from the southern property boundary. A pipeline was discovered to extend from the 8,000 gallon underground storage tank both to the north and to the south. As the owner of the site, Grossmans then initiated proceedings to have the underground storage tanks removed by their consultant, Aqua Geoscience of Bakersfield, California. On September 27, 1991, under permit and the supervision of Joe Dunwoouy of the Bakersfield Fire Department(BFD), the two underground fuel storage tanks were removed by Kern Environmental Services. The eastern 8,000 gallon underground diesel fuel storage tank was removed at 8:50 am. The tank appeared evenly rusted with some minor pitting. The tank appeared to be in good to fair condition with no visible holes. The western 8,000 gallon underground gasoline storage tank was removed at 9:25 am. The tank appeared evenly rusted with some minor pitting. The tank appeared to be in good to fair condition with no visible holes. Eight soil samples were collected from the underground fuel storage tank excavation using a backhoe by Mr. Phil Ooalwin of AquaGeoscience. Two samples were collected from each end of both underground fuel storage tanks at depths of two feet, and six feet beneath the bottom of the tanks. Following the collection of the final soil sample, the underground fuel storage tank excavation was backfilled using excavated soil and clean fill imported for that purpose. The samples from below the gasoline storage tank were analyzed for the presence and concentration of benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene, and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline by EPA Method 8020/8015. The samples from below the underground diesel storage tank were analyzed for the presence of benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel by EPA Method 8020/8015M. The results of the chemical analyses reveal that trace concentrations of petroleum constituents were detected in the soil samples collected from beneath the two former underground fuel storage tanks. The trace concentrations of petroleum constituents in the two foot samples KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 7 attenuate to "non-detectable" or near the detection limit in the samples collected from 6 feet below the underground fuel storage tanks. Based on the analytical result's, it is. anticipated that the City of Bakersfield Fire Department will issue a letter of closure indicating that no additional work is warranted. A site closure letter should be forthcoming from the Bakersfield Fire Department after their review of the AquaGeoscience report on the underground fuel storage tank removal. Based on a review of historical aerial photographs, the agricultural history of the subject site appears to have been non-irrigated pasture in the 1930's and 1940's. In general, agricultural chemicals are not usually applied to nomirrigated pasture. Agricultural chemicals in use today are applied in dilute concentrations, and when used properly, degrade relatively quickly. However, environmentally persistent pesticides can linger in the soil for many years. Studies have shown that it can take up to 30 years for 75-100% of the original concentration of some environmentally persistent pesticides to degrade in the soil. It is not known if environmentally persistent pesticides have been applied to the subject site in the past. However, the subject site has not been used for agricultural purposes since at least 1956, therefore, any agricultural chemicals that may have been used on the subject site have most likely degraded naturally by this time. A Kern County Water Agency (KCWA) map entitled "Elevation of Water in Wells" dated September 1988, from the "1988 Report on Water Conditions for Improvement District No. 4", shows a groundwater elevation contour of 370 feet in the vicinity of the subject property. Review of the 7.5 minute Oildale, California quadrangle map indicates an elevation of 405 feet at the subject site. Comparison of the two elevations indicates that groundwater in the vicinity of the subject site would be approximately 35 feet below existing grade. During the subsurface investigation conducted on the subject site, groundwater was encountered at a depth of 38 below the existing ground surface. Review of available subsurface investigation reports conducted in the immediate vicinity ol' the subject site indicates that as recently as April 1991 groundwater beneath the property adjacent and south of the subject site was at a depth of approximately 50 feet. According to engineering reports in the Leo Black file at the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department, the groundwater depth at the Leo Black property was 15 feet below existing grade in 1987. The KCWA map also indicates that the lateral component of groundwater flow is generally in a northwest direction in the vicinity of the subject site. Review of KCWA maps from previous years indicates that the groundwater flow direction has remained essentially unchanged for the past several years. However, numerous factors influence the fluctuation of groundwater level and evaluation of such factors is beyond the scope of this report. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC Project No. E9f-l12 Page Nc). 8 Review of the above contaminated wells lists reveals that there is one "listed" polluted well within one mile of the subject site. A City of Bakersfield Well #F-102,. located approximately one-half mile southeast of the subject site, is "listed" as containing several organic chemicals. However, the maximum "listed" concentration of all constituents detected in this well are below the California Maximum Contaminant Levels for drinking water standards. There is no record of the underground waste oil storage tank reported to have been located behind the former Troy's Towing previously located on the subject site at 3915 Pierce Road or the two underground fuel storage tanks recently removed from the subject site. The BFD, KCEHSD, the City of Bakersfield Building Department, and the Kern County Building Department were checked for any records of an underground storage tank or underground storage tank removal. No documentation of an underground waste oil tank removal was found at any of the above listed agencies. Attempts to contact the previous owner of Troy's Towing regarding the underground waste oil storage tank reported to be on the property were unsuccessful. In addition, there are no reported incidences involving hazardous materials spills or leaks at the subject property. The KCWA and the KCEHSD were contacted for any available information regarding the water well abandoned on the southern portion of the subject site in 1988. Neither agency had any records for that water well. It is not anticipated that the presence of an abandoned water well on the subject site would adversely impact the subject site. No National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits are on file with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for the project site. No air discharge permits are on file with the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District -- Kern. County Office for the subject site. The subject site is not "listed" on any regulatory agency "contaminated" or "potentially contaminated" sites list. Local regulatory agencies such as the BFD, KCEHSD, and the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD), were contacted regarding properties within the immediate vicinity of the subject site that were suspected of handling hazardous materials. Three of the businesses adjacent to the subject site are known to handle or have handled hazardous materials. Leo Black Electric, located adjacent and south of the subject site at 3909 Pierce Road, is the site of known soil and groundwater contamination with petroleum constituents that leaked from an underground fuel storage tank. The direction of groundwater flow is from the Leo Black property towards the subject site. Although the subsurface investigation conducted on the subject property did not detect the presence of petroleum constituents in the groundwater beneath the subject site at the location and depth sampled, it is anticipated that the soil and groundwater beneath the subject site contain petroleum constituents attributable to the known contamination on the Leo Black KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 9 property. However, it is not anticipated that the Leo Black property would adversely impact the development of the subject site due to the following reasons: 1) The liability and expense associated with remediation efforts should typically fall upon the responsible party (i.e. the owner of the leaking underground storage tank; and 2) On-going investigation and/or remedial efforts at the site are being conducted.' Additionally, it is not anticipated that groundwater contamination will impact the development of the proposed Canned Food Grocery Outlet due to the following reasons: 1) no surface soil contamination was observed at the subject site; 2) water will be supplied to the subject site by a municipal water district which is required to supply quality water; and 3) the groundwater table is located at 38 feet below the surface, which will not impact building foundations or cause surface contamination at the subject site. Additionally, discussions with Mr. John Noonan of the RWQCB, indicated that although an innocent land owner could be held responsible I:br contaminated groundwater beneath the site, he is not aware of any innocent land owners that have been held responsible for groundwater contamination that has migrated on-site from an off site source. Additionally, he does not anticipate that such responsibility would be assigned. BC Laboratories, located adjacent and east of the subject site at 4100 Pierce Road, is the former location of one 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank, and one 550 gallon underground waste oil storage tank. These underground storage tanks were removed in 1987, and soil samples collected at the time of the tank removals contained no detectable levels of contaminants. The Kern County Environmental Health Services Department (KCEHSD) issued a closure letter stating that "no significant contamination" exists at this former underground tank site. It is not anticipated that the former underground tank location at BC Laboratories would adversely impact the subject site due to the lack of detectable contamination and the KCEI-ISD "no significant contamination" status. BC Laboratories has a business plan on file with the Bakersfield Fire Department (BFD) lbr the handling and storage of hazardous materials. It is not anticipated that the hazardous materials storage detailed on the BC Laboratories business plan would adversely impact the subject site due to the release prevention and cleanup plan in place at this facility. The California Highway Patrol station, located adjacent and east of the subject site at 4040 Pierce Road, operates one 12,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank. Daily tank gauging and inventory reconciliation is the tank monitoring method used at the Highway Patrol facility. There were no records of any leaks or spills at this underground fuel storage tank location. It is not anticipated that the underground fuel storage tank at the Highway Patrol facility would adversely impact the subject site because the current monitoring practices should detect any leaks or spills before contamination could migrate off the Highway Patrol property. However, in the unlikely event that contamination was discovered beneath the subject site that was attributable to the underground KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 10 fuel storage tank at the Highway Patrol facility, the expense and/or liability associated with any investigation or remediation would typically fall upon the responsible party (i.e. the California Highway Patrol). The California Highway Patrol has a business plan on file with the BFD for the storage and handling of hazardous materials. It is not anticipated that the hazardous materials storage detailed on the California Highway Patrol business plan would adversely impact the subject site due to the types of materials stored and the employee training and release prevention plan in place at this facility. Pacific Power Incorporated, located adjacent and east of the subject site at 4000 Pierce Road, has a business plan on file with the BFD for the storage and handling of hazardous materials. It is not anticipated that the hazardous materials located at Pacific Power Incorporated would adversely impact the subject site due to the release containment measures in place at this facility. The following is a list of businesses within the immediate vicinity of the subject site that have removed underground storage tanks. None of these businesses currently possess underground storage tanks. All of these businesses have either 1) experienced no contamination as a result of the former underground storage tanks or 2) have remediated any contamination that was present at the time of the underground storage tank removals and received a closure letter from the KCEHSD. It is not anticipated that the former underground storage tank locations at the businesses listed as follows, would adversely impact the subject site due to the current lack of contamination at these sites.

Power Machinery Center, and NATCO have release prevention plans in place and therefore the potentially hazardous materials handled at those sites are not expected to adversely impact the subject site. The potentially hazardous materials at Bakersfield Welding Supply, and Delaney and Ahlf Diesel Services are not expected to adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site, and location hydraulically down gradient of the subject site. Holden Truck Plaza/Texaco, located 800 feet south of the subject site at 3775 Pierce Road, is known to posses two 10,000 gallon underground fuel storage tanks, and two 12,000 gallon underground fuel storage tanks. These tanks are double walled steel tanks will fiberglass reinforced plastic corrosion protection and equipped with interstitial monitoring devices. The product piping is sleeved in pvc pipe with red jacket leak detectors. There is no record of any leaks or spills at this facility. It is not anticipated that the underground fuel storage tanks at the Holden Truck Plaza/Texaco would adversely impact the subject site because the current monitoring systems should detect any leaks or spills before contamination could migrate off the Holden Truck Plaza/Texaco property, and the location of this site hydraulically side-gradient to the subject site. Holden Truck Plaza/Texaco also has a business plan on file with the BFD for the storage and handling of hazardous materials. It is not anticipated that the potentially hazardous materials handled at the Holden Truck Plaza would adversely impact the subject site due to the weekly maintenance and leak prevention program in place at this facility. Consolidated Fiberglass Products, located 1,500 feet west of the subject site at 3801 Standard Road, possesses one 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank. It is not anticipated that the underground fuel storage tank at this location would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site and location hydraulically side-to down-gradient of the subject site. Consolidated Fiberglass Products also has a business plan on file with the KCFD for potentially hazardous substances used in their manufacturing processes. It is not anticipated that the presence of potentially hazardous substances at this location would adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site, and location hydraulically side-to down-gradient of the subject site. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATF~, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 12 The following facilities are known to possess underground fuel storage tanks. No information is available from either the KCEHSD or the BFD concerning these tanks. The condition of the soil and groundwater beneath these tanks is unknown. <Ken Cummings Diesel Repair 900 feet south-southeast 3309 Gulf Street Lamb Wire Line 1,800 feet southwest 3504 Standard Road tJim's Supply Co. 1,800 feet south 3530 Pierce Road "Valley Steel Construction 2,000 feet south 3304 Pierce Road Ken Cummings Diesel Services has filed a business plan with the BFD ['or the storage and handling of potentially hazardous materials. It is not anticipated that the potentially hazardous materials at this facility would adversely impact the subject site due to the release prevention and containment plan in place at Ken Cummings Diesel Repair. The underground storage tanks at Ken Cummings Diesel Services, Lamb Wire Line, Jim's Supply Co., and Valley Steel Construction are not expected to adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site and location hydraulically side-gradient of the subject site. Additionally, Jim's Supply Co. and Valley Steel Construction have business plans on file with the BFD. It is not anticipated that the potentially hazardous materials listed on the business plans for Jim's Supply Co. and Valley Steel Construction would adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site. Davies Oil Co., located 1,000 feet southeast of the subject site at 3305 1/2 Gulf Street, is the site of known soil and groundwater contamination from leaking underground fuel storage tanks. A groundwater extraction and treatment system was installed to treat the contaminated groundwater at this location but has been shut down since February 1990 because several of the wells had run dry due to the lowering of the groundwater table. A soil vapor extraction system has been proposed to remediate the contaminated soils at the Davies Oil Co. property. It is not anticipated that the known contamination at Davies Oil Co. would adversely impact the subject site due to the remediation efforts currently being conducted by the responsible party. Baker's Industrial Welding Supply/Linde Gases of the West, located 1,800 feet south of the subject site at 3503/3505 Pierce Road, is the site of known soil and groundwater contamination due KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 13 to leaks from and underground fuel storage tank and product lines. These leaks were subsequently repaired, and a groundwater treatment system is scheduled to begin operation in July 1991. It is not anticipated that the contamination at Baker's Industrial Welding Supply would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site and location hydraulically side-gradient of the subject site. Additionally, Baker's Industrial Welding Supply has a business plan on file with the BFD for the large quantity of pressurized gases stored and sold at this facility. It is not anticipated that the potentially hazardous materials listed on the Baker's Industrial Welding Supply business plan would adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site. The San Joaquin Refining Company, located 700 feet west of the subject site at 3542 Shell Street, is the site of known soil and groundwater contamination due to a combination of surface spills, leaks from above-ground storage tanks, and waste discharge surface impoundments. The contamination at the San Joaquin Refining Company is confined to their property. Due to the impracticality of removing the contaminants from the groundwater, the current remedial action for this site is groundwater monitoring to insure that the contamination does not migrate off the San Joaquin Refining Company property. It is not anticipated that the groundwater contamination at the San Joaquin Refining Company would adversely impact the subject site due to its location hydraulically side- to down-gradient of the subject site. The San Joaquin Refining Company is scheduled to begin construction of a deep injection well to replace their waste discharge ponds. This injection well has been approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and would be constructed approximately 1,800 feet west of the subject site on the San Joaquin Refining Company property. It is not anticipated that the construction of this deep injection well at the San Joaquin Refining Company facility would adversely impact the subject site due to the depth of the well and its distance from the subject site. The San Joaquin Refining Company has filed a business plan with the KCFD for the storage and handling of a large variety and quantity of substances such as crude oils, diesel, solvents and other materials associated with their refinery. It is not anticipated that the presence of these substances at the San Joaquin Refinery would adversely impact the subject site due to their location hydraulically side- to down gradient of the subject site. The C & D Truckwash, located 800 feet south of the subject site at 3775 Pierce Road, formerly discharged washwater from their operations into unlined sumps to evaporate. At'ter 1987, this facility began disposing of the washwater into the City of Bakersfield sewer system. Soil samples collected from the bottom of these sumps contained no detectable contaminants. It is not anticipated that the former presence of unlined washwater disposal sumps at the C & D Truckwash facility would adversely impact the subject site due to the lack of detectable contaminants in the soils beneath the former sump locations. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 14 Valley Perforating, located 1,600 feet east-southeast of the subject site at 3201 Gull' Street, is the former location of one underground fuel storage tank. Soil samples collected at the time of the tank removal contained no detectable concentrations of petroleum constituents, and the KCEHSD issued a closure letter for this site indicating that "no significant contamination" exists at the former underground storage tank location. Therefore, the tbrmer underground fuel storage tank location at Valley Perforating is not expected to adversely impact the subject site. Valley Perforating has also filed a business plan with the BFD for the storage and handling of potentially hazardous substances. It is not anticipated that the presence of the potentially hazardous substances listed on the Valley Perforating business plan would adversely impact the subject site due to their distance from the subject site. Review of the California Department of Health Services (DHS) files reveals that Valley Perforating specializes in the cutting and perforating of well casings. Wastes generated by this process include metal shavings which are collected and hauled away for disposal, and wash water which drains into an unlined sump. Lead has been detected in soil samples collected from the bottom of this sump. A work plan for evaluating the extent of the problem has been requested by the DHS. It is not anticipated that the presence of the unlined sump at the Valley Perforating facility would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site. The Pratter Drum Site, also known as Jennings Transfer and Storage, located 1,500 feet southwest of the subject site at 3430 Getty Street, has experienced contamination due to the storage of drums containing hazardous materials, and is listed on the EPA CERCLIS Database as a result of this contamination. This property is listed on the CERCLIS Database as having undergone three "removal actions". The most recent removal action occurred in March 1990. It is not anticipated that the Pratter Drum Site would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site and its location hydraulically side-gradient of the subject site. Jennings Transfer and Storage has filed a business plan with the KCFD for the storage and handling of motor oil and compresses gases. It is not anticipated that the presence of these substances at this location would adversely impact the subject site to their distance from the subject site. The following businesses have business plans on file with the BFD for the storage and handling of potentially hazardous substances. It is not anticipated that the potentially hazardous substances at the following businesses would adversely impact the subject site due to the release prevention/containment and employee training plans in place at these businesses.

No release prevention or containment information was given in the business plan. However, it is not anticipated that the substances handled at Bob's Transmission Service would adversely impact the subject site due to the relatively small quantity of these substances at the Bob's Transmission facility. The following businesses have filed business plans with either the BFD or the KCFD and are not expected to impact the subject site due to their distances from the subject site.

It is not anticipated that Kernville Stage and Freight Lines would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site. Review of published regulatory agency contaminated or potentially contaminated sites lists reveals that there are 23 "listed" sites within one mile of the subject site. Six of the 23 sites appear on the Department of Health Services (DHS) Abandoned Sites Program Information System (ASPIS) List with a "no further action" status. A no further action status indicates that the Department of Health Services believes that no investigation or action is required concerning KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Project No. E91-112 Page No. 18 hazardous materials or wastes at that location, and therefore these sites are not expected to adversely impact the subject site. These six sites are listed as follow: San Joaquin Refining Co. 700 feet west 3542 Shell Street Best Reinforcing Steel Co. 1,800 feet east 3223 Brittan Road Di-Chem (Now Aco Cable Splicing) 1,800 feet south 3504 Pierce Road California Pallet Co 2,650 feet south-southwest 3426 Gilmore WDSCO Foundry Company 3,200 feet north-northeast State and Pierce Roads Arco Performance Chemical Co. 3,200 feet northwest 5145 Boylan Seven of the 23 "listed"sites are located within the immediate vicinity of the subject site and were discussed above.

Arvin Facility located approximately 17 miles southwest of the subject site at 600 South Derby Road in Arvin, California. The Brown and Bryant Arvin Facility is not expected to impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site. The California Department of Conservation Division of Oil and Gas publishes several maps showing the location of producing oil and gas wells as well as the location of plugged and abandoned dry holes. Review of the Division of Oil and Gas Map //435 and the United States Geological Survey Oildale, California topographic quadrangle map indicates that the subject site is on the eastern edge of the Fruitvale Oilfield. This oilfield is active and consists o~' a large number of producing oil wells. It is not anticipated that the location of the subject site on the border of the Fruitvale Oilfield would adversely impact the subject site due to the location of the oil field hydraulically down-gradient of the subject site. Review of published regulatory agency landfill lists reveals that there are no "listed" landfills within one mile of the subject site. The nearest "listed" landfill is the Bakersfield Sanitary Landfill located one and one-quarter miles northeast of Mt. Vernon and Panorama Drive. The Bakersfield Sanitary landfill closed in 1983 and is listed on the SWIS inactive listing. It is not anticipated that the Bakersfield Sanitary landfill would adversely impact the subject site due to its distance from the subject site. In our opinion, the site is not a border zone property as defined by the California Health and Safety Code. As far as we are aware, based on available information and our observations, no "hazardous waste property" exists within one mile of the subject site. Based on visual observation, review of published data, and discussions with regulatory and advisory agencies, it is our opinion that further investigation of the subject property is not warranted at this time.

(Exhibit 1) The tanks removed were constructed of steel. The age of the two (2) storage tanks is unknown, due to the fact that Grossman's, the current property owner, was not aware of the tanks existence. On September 27, 1991, Kern Environmental Services removed two (2) 8,000 gallon underground storage tanks, 1-diesel and 1-gasoline. Mr. Joe Dunwoody from the City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Division was present to observe the tank removals and sample collections. Prior to the tank removals, the tanks were triple rinsed and purged using dry ice on-site. The triple rinse and dry ice vapor displacement was performed by Kern Environmental Services. KVS Transportation from Bakersfield, California was responsible for the evacuation, hauling and disposal of 1500 gallons of rinseate. The rinseate was disposed of at Gibson Oil Refinery in Bakersfield, California. The tanks were rendered non-hazardous on-site and were removed via crane by Bill's Pipe Service of Bakersfield, under the supervision of Kern Environmental Services, and were transported by KVS Transportation to Golden State Metals, Inc. Bakersfield, California for final disposal. Documentation of rinseate disposal, tank removal, transportation and tank disposal are enclosed. Photographs of the tank removals are also enclosed for your review. AquaGeosciences, Inc. collected soil samples in accordance with the City guidelines after a tank removal. The of Bakersfield soil samples were obtained at the following depths and locations: SAMPLE ~ LOCATION DEPTH (FEET) ES-2 East Tank-South End 2 ES-6 East Tank-South End 6 WS-2 West Tank-South End 2 WS-6 West Tank-South End 6 WN-2 West Tank-North End 2 WN-6 West Tank-North End 6 EN-2 East Tank-North End 2 EN-6 East Tank-North End 6 1701 Westwind Drive, Suite 101 · Bakersfield, California 93301 5-!:= ~.~-~ -:'_.

A detailed map showing the tank and sample locations is included as Exhibit 3. The soil samples were collected in 2" diameter brass tubes and were driven into the backhoe bucket immediately after excavation. The samples were stored in 2"x 6" brass tubes, sealed with teflon tape and plastic end caps. The brass tubes were labelled and promptly placed in an ice chest at 4° centigrade. A Chain-of-Custody record was initiated which accompanied the samples to the analytical laboratory. The soil samples were submitted to SMC Laboratories, a State Certified Laboratory for the analysis requested. In accordance with The City of Bakersfield guidelines, the samples collected beneath the two (2) 8,000 gallon underground storage tanks were analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) as gasoline, diesel and BTEX using the EPA Method 5030/8020 for gasoline and for diesel EPA Method 8015 modified, respectively.

Extremely low concentrations of volatile aromatics were detected in all samples collected at 2 feet; however, the samples collected at 6 feet were non-detect for constituents analyzed, except sample we- 6, which had concentrations of M-Xylene at .0060 ppm. The concentrations detected during that tank removal fall well below City of Bakersfield and State of California guidelines for UST closures. It is AquaGeosciences, Inc.'s opinion that based on the laboratory results, no further work related to subsurface contamination is warranted. AquaGeosciences will provide a copy of this report to the City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Division, on behalf of Grossmans.
