(World), Geomatrix Consultants, Inc. (Geomatrix) is pleased to · present the Second Half 1999 subsurface remediation report for the former Sunland Oil Refinery in Bakersfield, California. Operational data for the high-capacity vapor extraction system I (HCVES), air sparging (AS), and liquid-phase hydrocarbon (LPH) recovery activities from June 1 through November 30, 1999 are attached to this report. I This report includes a site location (Figure 1), a site depicting well locations map map (Figure 2), a graph of cumulative pounds of hydrocarbons removed versus time (Figure 3), a summary of operational data for the reporting period (Tables 1 through 3), waste disposal documentation, I laboratory analytical and records. reports, sample chains-of-custody During the reporting period, all remedial operations were performed in accordance with the I requirements permit(s). Several upgrades to the system were performed during contained in the this reporting period. Four air sparging/vapor extraction (TSG-AS/VE-52 through 55) and four vapor extraction wells (TSG-VE-56 through TSGoVE-59) were completed between June 22 and I 24, 1999. i The treatment system was shutdown from July 21 through August 15, 1999 for system upgrades and tie-in of the eight new vapor extraction Wells into the existing system. Additionally, the System was shutdown September 26 through November 30, 1999 for construction and i installation of above ground storage tanks to store knockout water and LPH. The remediation system was restarted on December 1, 1999. iDuring the reporting period, approximately 280,883 pounds of hydrocarbon vapor were removed using the HCVES. Remediation using the HCVES accounts for a cumulative total of 825,124 pounds of hydrocarbons removed to date. ! Geornatrix Consultants~ I Engineers, Geologists, and Environmental Scientists GEOMATI=IIX Mr. David Troop California Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Valley Region December 14, 1999 Page 2 During the reporting period, LPH recovery pumps in wells MW-7 and SE-SVE-42 removed approximately 25 (estimated) gallons of LPH. During the reporting period, flexible PVC hoses ("stingers") were installed in wells SE-VE-43C, SE-AS/VE-44D and SE-AS/VE-47C to remove LPH and replace hand bailing as the removal method. The product stingers are attached to the existing HCVES and the LPH is extracted via air lift created by the vacuum of the vapor extraction blowers. The product stingers removed approximately 218 gallons of LPH for a total of 243 gallons removed this reporting period. The total amount of LPH removed (including hand bailing) since December 1996 is approximately 912 gallons.

Skimmer system was started after repair of WTF air compressor, but was shut down one week later due to system upgrade/installation activlnes. Skimmer system will be restarted after system upgrade/installation is completed· 2~ Flexible PVC stingers were installed to use the existing vapor extraction system to remove the LPH from the source wells. The LPH is extracted via air lift created by the vacuum extraction blowers into the vapor extraction conveyance lines. There, the LPH is partially volatilized and then burned by the flare, the remaining LPH in the conveyance lines accumulates in the knock-outs during vapor extraciion operation.
