SITE CHARACTERIZATION INVESTIGATION
RANCHO LABORDE
CALLOWAY AND HAGEMAN ROADS
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION
In August, 1988, a Real Estate Due Diligence Study of the 1480-acre
Rancho Laborde site was performed by EMCON Associates of Burbank,
California. Their investigation and sampling revealed several areas of concern
in the parcel, two of which are the subject of the site characterization
investigation by Krazan & Associates, Inc.. These two areas of concern are
located northeast of the intersection of Calloway and Hageman Roads. The
areas consist of a steam cleaning sump and a former pesticide/herbicide
storage area.
Soil in the steam cleaning sump was sampled by EMCON personnel at a
depth of approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump and was
analyzed for pesticides, herbicides, and total fuel hydrocarbons. Results of the
chemical analyses showed no detectable pesticides or herbicides, although
contamination by petroleum constituents was present.
The pesticide/herbicide storage area and its immediate vicinity
contained some discolored soils. Two soil samples were also taken by EMCON,
one at 6 inches below the surface and one at 10 inches below the surface, and
were analyzed for various pesticides and herbicides. The priority pollutant
pesticides DDE and DDT were found in trace amounts in the shallower sample,
and DDE was detected in lesser amounts in the deeper sample. No DDT was

herbicides covered by the particular analyses conducted on the soil samples
were found.
The results of these analyses were submitted to the Kern County Health
Department, Division of Environmental Health Services, for review. In a
November 17, 1988 letter to Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho Laborde, Ms. Amy
Green of Kern County requested that further investigation be performed at
various sites on the 1480-acre Rancho Laborde property. These sites included
the above noted pesticide/herbicide storage area and the steam cleaning sump.
The purpose of this investigation was to present a brief history of the
site, the regional geology and hydrology, and to define the approximate '~imits
of the contamination present beneath the site.
SITE LOCATION
The two areas of concern that are the subject of this investigation are
within an area of approximately four acres located at the northeast comer of
Calloway and Hageman Roads in northwestern Bakersfield, California. The site
is approximately 2.5-3 miles north of the Kern River. The Calloway Canal flows
through the eastern portion of the Rancho Laborde property in roughly a
north-south direction. The nearby Friant-Kern Canal trends in approximately
the same; direction.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute Oildale topographic
quadrangle map (photorevised 1968), the project site is located in the southeast
1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 17, T29S, R27E of the Mount Diablo Baseline &
Meridian.
~ITE DESCRIPTION
The areas of concern at the project site consist of a steam cleaning
sump, where rinseate from the steam cleaning of farm vehicles was
accumulated, and a former pesticide/ herbicide storage area and their
immediate vicinities.
The steam cleaning sump was removed and backfilled prior to either the
EMCON or Krazan & Associates' investigations. It was located approximately
100 feet east of the pesticide/ herbicide storage area. The sump was
approximately 12 feet by 12 feet in size and approximately four feet deep.

The pesticide/herbicide storage area is approximately 22 feet by 22 feet
and was completely surrounded and topped with a chain-link fence. The
fenced area is unpaved and soils within and around it showed some
discoloration. An area with dimensions of approximately 22 feet by 10 feet that
exists outside the fenced pesticide/herbicide storage area also evidenced some
discolored soils.
SITE HISTORY
Rancho Laborde was a farming operation owned by Mr. Gene Laborde
from approximately 1973 until 1987. The property is currently part of a
bankruptcy action. While the farming operation was in progress, farm
vehicles were fueled, cleaned, and maintained on the ranch property.
Pesticides and herbicides for farm use were stored in the pesticide/herbicide
storage area and elsewhere on the property.
A Due Diligence Real Estate Study was conducted on a 1480-acre portion
of the Rancho Laborde operation by EMCON Associates in August, 1988. Several
areas were noted as being contaminated or having a potential to be
contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, petroleum products and/or PCB's.
Among these areas are the steam cleaning sump and the former pesticide/
herbicide storage area.
The steam cleaning sump had held the residue from steam cleaning
operations on farm vehicles and machinery. A soil sample taken from
approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump showed no pesticides or
herbicides, but some petroleum constituents were present. The EMCON
investigation also showed low concentrations of DDE and DDT in two soil
samples taken at shallow depths within the pesticide/herbicide storage area.
The Kern County Ag Commissioner's records show that 1462
pesticide/herbicide containers, ranging in size from one-gallon containers to
30-gallon drums were removed from the project site. The length of storage of
these containers at the site is currently not known.
As a result of these and other chemical analyses performed in
conjunction with the Real Estate Due Diligence report and complaints filed
against Rancho Laborde by a private organization, the Kern County
Environmental Health Department requested that further investigation be
performed in order to determine the extent and severity of the various types of

Krazan & Associates, Inc. was contracted by Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho
Laborde to perform a Site characterization investigation in the vicinities of
the former pesticide/herbicide storage area and the steam cleaning sump.
On January 18, 1989, a work plan and health and safety plan were
submitted to the client 'and the Kern County Environmental Health Department
for review.
The field investigation commenced on January 31, 1989, following
approval by the client and Ms. Amy Green of Kern County. The results of that
investigation are detailed in this report.
GEOLOGIC AND HYDROLOGIC SETTING
The project site is located in the southern portion of the San Joaquin
Valley of' California. The San Joaquin Valley makes up the southern portion of
the Great Central Valley Geomorphic Province. Subsurface materials in
southern San Joaquin Valley are composed primarily of alluvium from Sierra
Nevada, Coast Range, and Transverse Range source rocks.
Alluvium from the dominantly granitic Sierra Nevada, rimming the San
Joaquin Valley to the east, has been deposited mainly by the Kern River. The
Kern River has no outlet to the ocean and deposits all of its bed load and
suspended load in the southern San Joaquin Valley. These sediments are
generally fine to medium sand and silty sand, much of which is micaceous.
The Coast Ranges, which form the western boundary of the San Joaquin
Valley, consist of sedimentary, metamorphic and volcanic rocks which have
been extensively folded and faulted. Sediments from the Coast Ranges are
primarily clays and silty clays.
In the area of the project site, the sediments from both these ranges are
found. The majority of surficial and near-surface sediments, however, are
deposits from the nearby Kern River. The soil profile may be generally
represented by sandy silt or silty sand in alternating lenses.

Bakersfield is within the San Joaquin Basin Hydrologic Study area; more
specifically, it is within the 70-square-mile Kern County Basin. Below the
project site, there are believed to be two main aquifers separated by an
aquitard of regional extent. This thick clay layer aquitard is known as the
"300-foot Clay".
The aquifer above the clay layer is referred to as unconfined, and that
below the clay is termed confined. The upper, unconfined aquifer is generally
unsuitable for potable, domestic water supplies due to high total dissolved
solids content but is pumped extensively for agricultural use. The lower,
confined aquifer is used for both domestic and agricultural purposes.
According to the Kern County Water Agency Report on Water
Conditions, Improvement District #4, dated February 1988, groundwater
elevation in the vicinity of the project site is between 270 and 280 feet above
mean sea level (msl). The U.S.G.S. Oildale topographic quadrangle map shows
the elevation of the project site to be approximately 387 feet above msl. This
data allows calculation of an approximate depth to groundwater below the
project site of 107-117 feet.
The Kern County Basin perennially suffers from overdraft conditions
due to agricultural pumping. This overdraft totals approximately 600,000 acre-
feet per year, and has caused some deep subsidence of land as groundwater
levels decline. Since precipitation in the area is usually less than seven inches
per year, little natural recharge occurs. Instead, water for agricultural use
and for artificial recharge is imported to the area by means of the California
Aqueduct system and by smaller canals of the Central Valley Project. For
example, Kern County Water Agency Improvement District #4, which consists
of approximately 65,000 acres in and around the city of Bakersfield, will
import approximately 77,000 acre-feet of water this year. A total of 86,000
acre-feet is expected to be pumped in 1988-89, and 3000 acre-feet will be
recharged by natural and artificial means. Therefore, overdraft of the aquifer
will amount to 83,000 acre-feet.
PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The purpose of the investigation was to determine the approximate
lateral and vertical extent of comamination by petroleum constituents in the
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
_ ~ Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 6
area of the steam cleaning sump. Additionally, the nature and approximate
extent of pesticide/ herbicide contamination in soils in and around the former
pesticide/ herbicide storage area was to be determined.
SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The scope of the investigation was limited to the advancement of three
soil borings to a maximum depth of 25 feet in the area of the steam cleaning
sump and the advancement of five soil borings to a maximum depth of 10 feet
in the vicinity of the former pesticide/ herbicide storage area. Soil samples
were collected for logging purposes from all borings. Selected samples were
submitted for chemical analysis to determine the presence and concentration
of certain petroleum constituents, pesticides and herbicides.
METHODOLOGY
In order to accomplish the goals established in the purpose and scope of
the investigation sections of this report, the following methods were
employed:
1. Regulatory approval was obtained from Kern County
prior to the commencement of the investigation at the project
site.
2. An additional literature survey of published geologic and
groundwater data in the vicinity of the project site was
conducted in an attempt to fully describe the conditions
present.
3. Exploratory soil borings were advanced by means of a
hand auger and a truck-mounted drill rig utilizing hollow stem
auger. Drilling fluids were not be used while advancing any of
the borings.
4.. Soil samples were obtained for logging purposes at
intervals of five feet or less, commencing at an approximate
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No., 7
depth of one to five feet below existing grade in each boring
location. Selected soil samples were also submitted for the
chemical analysis of petroleum constituents or
pesticides/herbicides.
5. Soil samples were obtained by means of pushing stainless
steel tubes at discrete intervals (ASTM D-1587-86, "Thin-Walled
Tube Sampling of Soils").
6. During the drilling process, drilling returns were field
screened with an H-nu brand, portable photoionization detector
(PID). The PID is a direct reading real-time analyzer that is
capable of detecting most of the volatile constituents present in
the vapor phase of contaminated soils. The PID that was be used
for this investigation uses a 10.2 electron volt lamp and is
calibrated using an iso-butylene calibration gas. The PID was
used primarily in the steam cleaning sump area.
7. Three soil borings advanced in the vicinity of the steam
cleaning sump. Boring B-1 was advanced to a depth of 20 feet
below grade. Borings B-2 and B-3 were each advanced to a
depth of 25 feet. All of these borings were terminated following
two or more non-detected readings using the PID.
8. Five exploratory soil borings were advanced within and
around the pesticide/herbicide storage area to a depth of 10
feet below grade. Five soil were obtained from each boring;
one at the surface, one at a depth of 1 foot, one at 5 feet, and one
at 10 feet below grade. The first two samples were obtained by
hand augering. Placement of the borings were in those areas
that showed the greatest visual evidence of contamination.
9.. Soil borings were backfilled with a six sack sand/cement
slurry with approximately 2% bentonite powder added to reduce
shrinkage away from the borehole walls.

Page No. 8
10. All excess drilling returns from each boring were
segregated into their respective piles on a layer of visquene.
The piles were then covered with visquene to reduce aeration.
The auger cuttings should be properly disposed of by the
property owner.
11. All samples were collected, maintained, and transported
under chain of custody protocol to a state registered laboratory
for chemical analysis. Selected soil samples from the area of the
steam cleaning sump and pesticide/herbicide storage area were
analyzed for the presence and concentration of total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPH) as diesel (by DOHS method), oil and grease
(EPA Method 413.1), organochlorine pesticides (EPA 8080)
organophosphorus pesticides (EPA 8140), and extractable
organics (EPA Method 8270).
12. All drilling and sampling equipment were steam-cleaned
before arriving on site, between soil borings, and as necessary
to minimize the potential for cross-contamination.
13. All field work were conducted under standards set forth
by industry and deemed acceptable by various regulatory
agencies. Hard hats, full-face air purifying respirators with
organic vapor/acid gas/HEPA filter cartridges, protective
clothing, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots were worn by
all field personnel when in the designated exclusion zones. For
further health and safety-related information, please refer to
the approved Health & Safety Plan that was included with our
approved work plan.
SOIL PROFILE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
To date, a total of eight soil borings have been advanced by our firm at
the project site at a maximum depth of 25 feet below existing grade. The
alluvial material comprising the soil profile at the project site was noted to
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
- Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 9
vary between borings. The soils profile generally indicate silt to be present
from grade to a depth of approximately 4 feet below grade. Generally
speaking, well graded or silty sand extends from the base of the silt to the
bottom of our borings. Please refer to Appendix B for further information
regarding the soils beneath this site.
RESULTS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
During the advancement of our three soil borings in the vicinity of the
steam-cleaning sump, soil samples were taken for logging purpose. Ten soil
samples were later submitted for chemical analysis. The results of chemical
analysis of selected soil samples were used to help identify the presence and
distribution of petroleum products present in the subsoils. The results of those
analyses have been summarized on Table I.

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
This investigation of the subject property has assessed the nature and
approximate extent of contaminants in the subsurface beneath the subject
property. Organophosphorus pesticides and petroleum constituents were the
primary types of contaminants present.
Qrganochlorine Pesticides
Trace concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (EPA Method 8080)
were found in the subsoils associated with seven of our soil samples.
In Boring B4, a concentration of 0.01 ppm 4,4 DDE was found in the
surface sample of the discolored soil. This concentration attenuated to a non-
detectable level before the sample obtained from a depth of 1 foot.
Boring B5 had a concentration of 0.02 ppm 4,4 DDE in the surface
sample. The surface soils appeared to be discolored. No detectable
concentration of 4,4' DDE was detected in the samples obtained from depths of 1
or 5 feet below grade.
The surface soils surrounding boring B6 appeared to also be discolored.
Only slightly detectable concentrations of 4,4' DDE were detectable in the
samples obtained from the surface and 1 foot below grade. No samples were
obtained at depths greater than 1 foot below grade.
Boring B7 contained a trace concentration of 4,4'-DDE in the surface soil
sample, iNo detectable concentrations of 4,4'-DDE was present in the sample
obtained from a depth of 1 foot below grade.
The surface soils associated with Boring B8 were discolored. In the
surface soil sample, a level of d-BHC slightly below detection limits was noted.
No detectable concentration of d-BHC was detected in the sample obtained from
a depth of 1 foot. However, in the one foot sample a trace concentration (0.05
ppm) of 4,4-DDE was detected. None of the samples obtained from depths
greater than 1 foot were analyzed.
0rganophosphorus Pesticides
As a part of our investigation, ten soil samples were submitted for
analysis for the detection and concentration of organophosphorus pesticides
by EPA Method 8140.

Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 19
Samples obtained from borings B4 and B5 did not show any detectable
concentration of organophosphorus pesticides.
In Boring B6, a sample of the discolored surface soils was obtained .
Analysis for organophosphorus pesticides were non-detected for all
compounds. A sample was also obtained from a depth of 1 foot below grade in
this boring. A trace concentration of Di'-Syston below detection limits was
found in this sample.
Surface soils in the area surrounding Boring B7 were highly discolored.
Chemical analysis by EPA Method 8140 of the sample obtained from the surface
showed a high concentration of the organophosphorus pesticide Di-Syston. No
detectable concentration of any organophosphorus pesticide was detected in
our sample obtained from the one foot depth.
Trace concentrations of four organophosphorus pesticides were
detected in the surface soil sample obtained from Boring BB. These pesticides
included Diazinon, Di-Syston, Malathion, and Phorate at concentrations of 0.9,
0.3, 1.1, and 1.1 ppm, respectively. All of these concentrations attenuated
rapidly in the upper 1 foot. Chemical analysis on the sample obtained at one
foot showed non-detectable concentrations of Diazinon, Di-Syston, and
Phorate. Malathion was still present in a concentration of 0.2 ppm. This
concentration 'is nearly an order of magnitude less concentrated than the
surface sample. None of the samples from greater depths were analyzed.
Petroleum Constituents
Three soil borings were advanced to a depth of 25 feet below grade in
the area .of the former steam cleaning sump. Ten soil samples obtained from
these borings were analyzed for the presence and concentration of total
petroleum hydrocarbons, and oil and grease.
The two samples obtained from Boring B1 showed no detectable
concentration of the above-listed petroleum constituents.
Three soil samples were obtained from Boring B2. This boring was
advanced near the center of the former steam-cleaning sump. Concentrations
of oil and grease attenuated rapidly between the 5, 10, and 15 foot samples.
These concentrations were 2840, 496, and 68 ppm, respectively. Conversely,
total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations increased slightly with depth to a
high of 80 ppm in the sample obtained from a depth of 15 feet.

Five soil samples obtained from Boring B3 were analyzed for petroleum
constituents. Contaminants appeared to be limited to the upper 10-15 feet.
CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the review of the data obtained from our field and
laboratory investigations, past investigations of the project site, and published
information regarding geologic, hydrologic, and chemical characteristics, the
following conclusions have been derived.
1. Historic information indicates that groundwater exists
beneath the subject property at a depth of 107-117 feet below
grade.
2. The alluvial material comprising the soil profile consists of
silt in the upper 4 feet. Generally speaking, silty and well graded
sands complete the soil profile to the bottom of our borings.
3. Contamination by petroleum constituents exists in the subsoils
surrounding the former steam cleaning sump location.
4. Although non-detected concentrations of petroleum
constituents were not revealed in the bottom two samples of
Boring B2, the rapid attenuation present was interpreted as being
indicative of that nearing the bottom of the plume.
Concentrations of some petroleum constituents had attenuated by
nearly orders of magnitude within the five foot intervals.
5. The lateral extent of the petroleum contamination in the
subsoils surrounding the former steam cleaning sump were
defined by the chemical analysis of soil samples obtained from
Borings B1 and B3. This area is approximated by the soil
encompassed within a radius of 15 to 20 feet from the center of
the former steam cleaning sump.

6. Organochlorine pesticides were present in trace
concentrations in the soils beneath the former
pesticide/herbicide storage area and immediate vicinity. Most of
these concentrations were present primarily in the surface soils
and attenuated to non-detectable concentrations in the upper
foot. Only trace concentrations of 4,4-DDE were present in the
soil samples obtained from depths of one foot below grade in
Borings B6 and B8.
7. Trace to high concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides
were present in surface soil samples obtained from Borings B6,
B7, and BB. Only trace levels of Di-Syston an Malathion were
present in the soil samples obtained from a depth of 1 foot below
grade in Borings B6 and B8, respectively. These levels were quite
low and did not appear to threaten groundwater quality beneath
the site.
8. Due to the concentration of 410 ppm Di-Syston present in the
surface soils (< 1 foot) in Boring B7., this soil should be considered
hazardous to human health. Ingestion and dermal contact should
be avoided.
LIMITATIONS
The findings of this report were based upon the results of field and
laboratory' investigations, coupled with the interpolation of subsurface
conditions associated with our soil borings. Also incorporated was the
interpretation of previous investigations in the vicinity; therefore, the data
are accurate only to the degree implied by review of the data obtained and by
professional interpretation.
Exploratory soil borings were located in the field by review of available
maps and. aerial photographs and by pacing or tape measurement from
existing landmarks. Therefore, these should be considered accurate only to
the degree implied by the methods used to locate them.
Chemical testing was done by laboratories registered with the State of
California Department of Health Services. The results of the chemical testing
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.

are accurate only to the degree of the care of ensuring the testing accuracy
and the representative nature of the soils samples obtained.
The findings presents herewith are based on professional
interpretation using state of the art methods and equipment and a degree of
conservatism deemed proper as of this report date. It is not warranted that
such data cannot be superseded by future geotechnical, environmental, or
technological developments.

RE: Remedial Alternatives
Rancho Laborde
Calloway & Hageman Roads
. Bakersfield, California
Dear Mr. Clements,
In accordance with your request, we would like to take this opportunity
to submit our recommendations for the remediation of agricultural chemicals
and petroleum hydrocarbons that are currently present in the subsoils at the
above-referenced site.
SITE LOCATION
The two areas of concern that are the subject of this investigation are
within an. area of approximately four acres located at the northeast corner of
Calloway and Hageman Roads in northwestern Bakersfield, California. The site
is approximately 2.5-3 miles north of the Kern River. The Calloway Canal flows
through the eastern portion of the Rancho Laborde property in roughly a
north-south direction. The nearby Friant-Kern Canal trends in approximately
the same direction.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute Oildale topographic
quadrangle map (photorevised 1968), the project site is located in the southeast
1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 17, T29S, R27E of the Mount Diablo Baseline &
Meridian.

~ITE DESCRIPTION
The areas of concern at the project site consist of a steam cleaning
sump, where rinseate from the steam cleaning of farm vehicles was
accumulated, and a former pesticide/herbicide storage area and their
immediate vicinities.
The steam cleaning sump was removed and backfilled prior to either the
EMCON or Krazan & Associates' investigations. It was located approximately
100 feet east of the pesticide/ herbicide storage area. The sump was
approximately 12 feet by 12 feet in size and approximately four feet deep.
The pesticide/herbicide storage area is approximately 22 feet by 22 feet
and was surrounded and topped with a chain-link ~fence. The fenced area is
unpaved and soils within and around it showed some discoloration. An area
with dimensions of approximately 22 feet by 10 feet that exists outside the
fenced pesticide/herbicide storage area also evidenced some discolored soils.
SITE HISTORY
Rancho Laborde was a farming operation owned by Mr. Gene Laborde
from approximately 1973 until 1987. The property is currentlY part of a
bankruptcy action. While the farming operation was in progress, farm
vehicles were fueled, cleaned, and maintained on the ranch property.
Pesticides and herbicides for farm use were 'stored in the pesticide/herbicide
storage area and elsewhere on the property.
A Due Diligence Real Estate Study was conducted on a 1480-acre portion
of the Rancho Laborde operation by EMCON Associates in August, 1988. Several
areas were noted as being contaminated or having a potential to be
contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, petroleum products and/or PCB's.
Among these areas are the steam cleaning sump and the former pesticide/
herbicide storage area.
The, steam cleaning sump had held the residue from steam cleaning
operations on farm vehicles and machinery. A soil sample taken from
approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump showed no pesticides or
herbicides, but some petroleum constituents were present. The EMCON
investigation also showed low concentrations of DDE and DDT in two soil
samples taken at shallow depths within the pesticide/herbicide storage area.

Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 3
The Kern County Ag Commissioner's records show that 1462
pesticide/herbicide containers, ranging in size from one-gallon containers to
30-gallon drums were removed from the project site. The length of storage of
these containers at the site is currently not known.
As a result of these and other chemical analyses performed in
conjunction with the Real Estate .Due Diligence report and complaints filed
against Rancho Laborde by a private organization, the Kern County
Environmental Health Department requested that further investigation be
performed in order to determine the extent and severity of the various types of
contamination at the Rancho Laborde property. Some areas of concern had
already been addressed, e.g. two underground fuel storage tanks were removed
from the property in December, 1988 by RLW Equipment. The soil beneath
these tanks was not found to have been contaminated by petroleum products.
Krazan & Associates, Inc. was contracted by Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho
Laborde to perform a site characterization investigation in the vicinities of
the former pesticide/herbicide storage area and the steam cleaning sump.
On January 18, 1989, a work plan and health and safety plan were submitted to
the client and the Kern County Environmental Health Department for review.
The field investigation commenced on January 31, 1989, following approval by
the client and Ms. Amy Green of Kern County.
During that investigation, eight exploratory soil borings were advanced
by our firm to depth of up to 25 feet below grade. The borings were logged in
detail and selected soil samples were retrieved for the purpose of chemical
analysis.
During the advancement of our borings, a silt was present to a depth of
approximately 4 feet below grade. Below 4 feet a well graded or silty sand
appeared to dominate the soil profile. Literature searches of state and county
information indicated groundwater was likely to be present at a depth of
approximately 107-117 feet below grade.
During the advancement of our three soil borings in the vicinity of the
steam-cleaning sump, soil samples were taken for logging-purpose. Ten soil
samples were later submitted for chemical analysis. The results of chemical
analysis of selected soil samples were used to help identify the presence and
distribution of petroleum products present in the subsoils. The results of those
analyses have been summarized on Table I.

Our report was submitted to Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho Laborde and Ms.
Amy Green of the County of Kern Environmental Health Services Department.
Following the review of our report, Ms. Green indicated that the remedial
alternatives/recommendations were not discussed. The purpose of this letter is
to discuss those alternatives.
Findings of Our April 1989 Investigation
The investigation of the subject property has assessed the nature and
approximate extent of contaminants in the subsurface beneath the subject
property. Organophosphorus pesticides and petroleum constituents were the
primary types of contaminants present.

Trace concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (EPA Method 8080)
were found in the subsoils associated .with seven of our soil samples.
In Boring B4, a concentration of 0.01 ppm 4,4 DDE was found in the
surface sample of the discolored soil. This concentration attenuated to a non-
detectable level before the sample obtained from a depth of 1 foot.
Boring B5 had a concentration of 0.02 ppm 4,4 DDE in the surface
sample. The surface soils appeared to be discolored. No detectable
concentration of 4,4' DDE was detected in the samples obtained from depths of 1
or 5 feet below grade.
The surface soils surrounding boring B6 appeared to also be discolored.
Only slightly detectable concentrations of 4,4' DDE were detectable in the
samples obtained from the surface and 1 foot below grade. No samples were
obtained at depths greater than 1 foot below grade.
Boring B7 contained a trace concentration of 4,4'-DDE in the surface soil
sample. No detectable concentrations of 4,4'-DDE was present in the sample
obtained fi'om a depth of 1 foot below grade.
The surface soils associated with Boring B8 were discolored. In the
surface soil sample, a level of d-BHC slightly below detection limits was noted.
No detectable concentration of d-BHC was detected in the sample obtained from
a depth of 1 foot. However,. in the one foot sample a trace concentration (0.05
ppm) of 4,4-DDE was detected. None of the samples obtained from depths
greater than 1 foot were analyzed.

Organophosphorus Pesticides
As a part of our investigation, ten soil samples were submitted for
analysis for the detection and concentration of organophosphorus pesticides
by EPA Method 8140.
Samples obtained from borings B4 and B5 did not show any detectable
concentration of organophosphorus pesticides.
In Boring B6, a sample of the discolored surface soils was obtained .
Analysis for organophosphorus pesticides were non-detected for all
compounds. A sample was also obtained from a depth of 1 foot below grade in
this boring. A trace concentration of Di-Syston below detection limits was
found in this sample.
Surface soils in the area surrounding Boring B7 were highly discolored.
Chemical analysis by EPA Method 8140 of the sample obtained from the surface
showed a high concentration of the organophosphorus pesticide Di-Syston. No
detectable concentration of any organophosphorus pesticide was detected in
our sample obtained from the one foot depth.
Trace concentrations of four organophosphorus pesticides were
detected in the surface soil sample obtained from Boring B8. These pesticides
included Diazinon, Di-Syston, Malathion, and Phorate at concentrations of 0.9,
0.3, 1.1, and 1.1 ppm, respectively. All of these concentrations attenuated
rapidly in the upper 1 foot. Chemical analysis on the sample obtained at one
foot showed non-detectable concentrations of Diazinon, Di-Syston, and
Phorate. Malathion was still present in a concentration of 0.2 ppm. This
concentration is nearly an order of magnitude less concentrated than the
surface sample. None of the samples from greater depths were analyzed.
Pelroleum t~onstituents
Three soil borings were advanced to a depth of 25 feet below grade in
the area of the former steam cleaning sump. Ten soil samples obtained from
these borings were analyzed for the presence and concentration of total
petroleum hydrocarbons, and oil and grease.
The two samples obtained from Boring B1 showed no detectable
concentration of the above-listed petroleum constituents.
Three soil samples were obtained from Boring B2. This boring was
advanced near the center of the former steam-cleaning sump. Concentrations
_ KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 15
of oil and grease attenuated rapidly between the 5, 10, and 15 foot samples.
These concentrations were 2840, 496, and 68 ppm, respectively. Conversely,
total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations increased slightly with depth to a
high of 80 ppm in the sample obtained from a depth of 15 feet.
Based upon review of the data obtained from our entire investigation,
the following conclusions were detailed in our April 10/11, 1989 report.
1. Historic information indicates that groundwater exists
beneath the subject property at a depth of 107-117 feet below
grade.
2. The alluvial material comprising the soil-profile consists of
silt in the upper 4 feet. Generally speaking, silty and well graded
sands complete the soil profile to the bottom of our borings.
3. Contamination by petroleum constituents exists in the subsoils
surrounding the former steam cleaning sump location.
4. Although non-detected concentrations of petroleum
constituents were not revealed in the bottom two samples of
Boring B2, the rapid attenuation present was interpreted as being
indicative of that nearing the bottom of the plume.
Concentrations of some petroleum constituents had attenuated by
nearly orders of magnitude within the five foot intervals.
5. The lateral extent of the petroleum contamination in the
subsoils surrounding the former steam cleaning sump were
defined by the chemical analysis of soil samples obtained from
Borings B1 and B3. This area is approximated by the soil
encompassed within a radius of 15 to 20 feet from the center of
the former steam cleaning sump.
6. Organochlorine pesticides were present in trace
concentrations in the soils beneath the former
pesticide/herbicide storage area and immediate vicinity. Most of
these concentrations were present primarily in the surface soils
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 16
and attenuated to non-detectable concentrations in the upper
foot. Only trace concentrations of 4,4-DDE were present in the
soil samples obtained from depths of one foot below grade in
Borings B6 and B8.
7. Trace to high concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides
were present in surface soil samples obtained from Borings B6,
B7, and B8. Only trace levels of Di-Syston an Malathion were
present in the soil samples obtained from a depth of 1 foot below
grade in Borings B6 and BS, respectively. These levels were quite
low and did not appear to threaten groundwater quality beneath
the site.
8. Due to the concentration of 410 ppm Di-Syston present in the
surface soils (< 1 foot) in Boring B7, this soil should be considered
hazardous to human health. Ingestion and dermal contact should
be avoided.
REMEDIAL OPTIONS
In accordance with Kern County standards, three remedial options are
presented as follows:
Option No. 1
Option No. 1 would entail the excavation of contaminated soils and their
subsequent proper disPosal by the property owner. Volumes of soils from the
former steam cleaning sump area appear to make this option not practical for
that area.
In the area. of the former agricultural chemical storage area, the soils
shown to be contaminated by various organochlorine and organophosphorus
pesticides may be economically and effectively removed. Excavation should
occur to a maximum depth of one to one and one-half feet below grade. The
soils should be removed by a contractor properly trained and qualified to work
in/with hazardous materials such as that known to be present. The client
should ensure that proper disposal has occurred following the removal.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 17
Option No. 2
A second option would be one of placing an impermeable cap over the
affected areas in order to reduce the potential for leaching.
In the former agricultural chemical storage area, this option would be
impractical due to the potential for ingestion or dermal contact if future
development of the property were to occur.
In the area of the former steam-cleaning sump, this option of capping
would be a viable alternative. Special care should be taken in the cap design
· so as to take into account future development which may occur on the
property.
Option NO, 3
The third option would be one of "no action" or passive remediation.
This option is commonly considered when no threat to groundwater resources
or human/environmental health appears to be present.
In the area of the former agricultural chemical storage, this alternative
would be unacceptable due to the toxic/hazardous nature of the contaminants
present in the subsoils.
In the vicinity of the former steam-cleaning sump, the application of
passive remediation would allow for the degradation of the contaminants
present (with time) so long as surface drainages are not concentrated in the
area to a point where increased leaching occurs.
REMEDIATIQN$
Based upon the conclusions of our previous report and an examination
of the remedial alternatives outlined above, the following recommendations
were made.
1. Soil excavation appears to be the most appropriate form of
remedial action for the contaminated soils in the vicinity of the
former agricultural chemical storage area. This effort should
include the import of clean fill material, and the safe and proper
disposal of the soils that would be excavated. All excavation and
importing of soils should be accomplished in a safe and effective
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATF..S, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 18
manner by a contractor experienced in hazardous waste/material
excavation. The transportation of the excavated material should
be accomplished by a firm liscensed for hazardous waste
transportation. Regulatory approval would be necessary prior to
the commencement of work.
2. A passive remediation or placement of an impermeable layer
should be considered in the area of the former steam-cleaning
sump. During design of the imPermeable layer (if used) future
property usage should be evaluated and taken into consideration.
LIMITATIONS
The findings and recommendations detailed in this letter was based
upon the results of field and laboratory investigations, coupled with the
interpolation of subsurface conditions associated with our soil borings. Also
incorpora'ted was the interpretation of previous investigations in the vicinity;
therefore, the data are accurate only to the degree implied by review of the
data obtained and by professional interpretation and judgement.
Exploratory soil borings were located in the field by review of available
maps and aerial photographs and by pacing or tape measurement from
existing landmarks. Therefore, these should be considered accurate only to
the degree implied by the methods used to locate them.
Chemical testing was done by laboratories registered with the State of
California Department of Health Services. The results of the chemical testing
are accurate only to the degree of the care of ensuring the testing accuracy
and the representative nature of the soils samples obtained.
The findings, remedial options, and recommendations presented
herewith are based on professional interpretation using state of the art
methods and resources and a degree of conservatism deemed proper as of this
report date. It is not warranted that such data and recommendations cannot be
superseded by future geotechnical, environmental, or technological, or
regulatory developments.

RE: Remedial Alternatives
Rancho Laborde
Calloway & Hageman Roads
. Bakersfield, California
Dear Mr. Clements,
In accordance with your request, we would like to take this opportunity
to submit our recommendations for the remediation of agricultural chemicals
and petroleum hydrocarbons that are currently present in the subsoils at the
above-referenced site.
SITE LOCATION
The two areas of concern that are the subject of this investigation are
within an area of approximately four acres located at the northeast comer of
Calloway and Hageman Roads in northwestern Bakersfield, California. The site
is approximately 2.5-3 miles north of the Kern River. The Calloway Canal flows
through the eastern portion of the Rancho Laborde property in roughly a
north-south direction. The nearby Friant-Kem Canal trends in approximately
the same direction.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute Oildale topographic
quadrangle map (photorevised 1968), the project site is located in the southeast
1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 17, T29S, R27E of the Mount Diablo Baseline &
Meridian.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The areas of concern at the project site consist of a steam cleaning
sump, where rinseate from the steam cleaning of farm vehicles was
accumulated, and a former pesticide/herbicide storage area and their
immediate vicinities.
The steam cleaning sump was removed and backfilled prior to either the
EMCON or Krazan & Associates' investigations. It was located approximately
100 feet east of the pesticide/ herbicide storage area. The sump was
approximately 12 feet by 12 feet in size and approximately four feet deep.
The pesticide/herbicide storage area is approximately 22 feet by 22 feet
and was surrounded and topped with a chain-link fence. The fenced area is
unpaved and soils within and around it showed some discoloration. An area
with dimensions of approximately 22 feet by 10 feet that exists outside the
fenced pesticide/herbicide storage area also evidenced some discolored soils.
SITE HISTORY
Rancho Laborde was a farming operation owned by Mr. Gene Laborde
from approximately 1973 until 1987. The property is currently part of a
bankruptcy action. While the farming operation was in progress, farm
vehicles were fueled, cleaned, and maintained on the ranch property.
Pesticides and herbicides for farm use were stored in the pesticide/herbicide
storage area and elsewhere on the property.
A Due Diligence Real Estate Study was conducted on a 1480-acre portion
of the Rancho Laborde operation by EMCON Associates in August, 1988. Several
areas were noted as being contaminated or having a potential to be
contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, petroleum products and/or PCB's.
Among these areas are the steam cleaning sump and the former pesticide/
herbicide storage area.
The steam cleaning sump had held the residue from steam cleaning
operations on farm vehicles and machinery. A soil sample taken from
approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump showed no pesticides or
herbicides, but some petroleum constituents were present. The EMCON
investigation also showed low concentrations of DDE and DDT in two soil
samples taken at shallow depths within the pesticide/herbicide storage area.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 3
The Kern County Ag Commissioner's records show that 1462
pesticide/herbicide containers, ranging in size from one-gallon containers to
30-gall°n drums were removed from the project site. The length of storage of
these containers at the site is currently not known.
As a result of these and other chemical analyses performed in
conjunction with the Real Estate Due Diligence report and complaints filed
against Rancho Laborde by a private organization, the Kern County
Environmental Health Department requested that further investigation be
performed in order to determine the extent and severity of the various types of
contamination at the Rancho Laborde property. Some areas of concern had
already been addressed, e.g. two underground fuel storage tanks were removed
from the property in December, 1988 by RLW Equipment. The soil beneath
these tanks was not found to have been contaminated by petroleum products.
Krazan & Associates, Inc. was contracted by Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho
Laborde to perform a site characterization investigation in the vicinities of
the former pesticide/herbicide storage area and the steam cleaning sump.
On January 18, 1989, a work plan and health and safety plan were submitted to
the client and the Kern County Environmental Health Department for review.
The field investigation commenced on' January 31, 1989, following approval by
the client and Ms. Amy Green of Kern County.
During that investigation, eight exploratory soil borings were advanced
by our firm to depth of up to 25 feet below grade. The borings were logged in
detail and selected soil samples were retrieved for the purpose of chemical
analysis.
During the advancement of our borings, a silt was present to a depth of
approximately 4 feet below grade. Below 4 feet a well graded or silty sand
appeared to dominate the soil profile. Literature searches of state and county
information indicated groundwater was likely to be present at a depth of
approximately 107-117 feet below grade.
During the advancement of our three soil borings in the vicinity of the
steam-cleaning sump, soil samples were taken for logging purpose. Ten soil
samples were later submitted for chemical analysis. The results of chemical
analysis of selected soil samples were used to help identify the presence and
distribution of petroleum products present in the subsoils. The results of those
analyses have been summarized on Table I.

Our report was submitted to Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho Laborde and Ms.
Amy Green of the County of Kern Environmental Health Services Department.
Following the review of our report, Ms. Green indicated that the remedial
alternatives/recommendations were not discussed. The purpose of this letter is
to discuss those alternatives.
Findings of Our April 1989 Investigation
The investigation of the subject property has assessed the nature and
approximate extent of contaminants in the subsurface beneath the subject
property. Organophosphorus pesticides and petroleum constituents were the
primary types of contaminants present.
.Organochlorine Pesticides
Trace concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (EPA Method 8080)
were found in the subsoils associated with seven of our soil samples.
In Boring B4, a concentration of 0.01 ppm 4,4 DDE was found in the
surface sample of the discolored soil. This concentration attenuated to a non-
detectable level before the sample obtained from a depth of 1 foot.
· Boring B5 had a concentration of 0.02 ppm 4,4 DDE in the surface
sample. The surface soils appeared to be discolored. No detectable
concentration of 4,4' DDE was detected in the samples obtained from depths of 1
or 5 feet below grade.
The surface soils surrounding boring B6 appeared to also be discolored.
Only slightly detectable concentrations of 4,4' DDE were detectable in the
samples obtained from the surface and 1 foot below grade. No samples were
obtained at depths greater than 1 foot below grade.
Boring B.7 contained a trace concentration of 4,4'-DDE in the surface soil
sample. No detectable concentrations of 4,4'-DDE was present in the sample
obtained from a depth of 1 foot below grade.
The surface soils associated with Boring B8 were discolored. In the
surface soil sample, a level of d-BHC slightly below detection limits was noted.
No detectable concentration of d-BHC was detected in the sample obtained from
a depth of 1 foot. However, in the one foot sample a trace concentration (0.05
ppm) of 4,4-DDE was detected. None of the samples obtained from depths
greater than 1 foot were analyzed.

Organophosphorus Pesticides
As a part of our investigation, ten soil samples were submitted for
analysis for the detection and concentration of organophosphorus pesticides
by EPA Method 8140.
Samples obtained from borings B4 and B5 did not show any detectable
concentration of organophosphorus pesticides.
In Boring B6, a sample of the discolored surface soils was obtained .
Analysis for organophosphorus pesticides were non-detected for all
compounds. A sample was also obtained from a depth of 1 foot below grade in
this boring. A trace concentration of Di-Syston below detection limits was
found in this sample.
Surface soils in the area surrounding Boring B7 were highly discolored.
Chemical analysis by EPA Method 8140 of the sample obtained from the surface
showed a high concentration of the. organophosphorus pesticide Di-Syston. No
detectable concentration of any organophosphorus pesticide was detected in
our sample obtained from the one foot depth.
Trace concentrations of four organophosphorus pesticides were
detected in the surface soil sample obtained from Boring BB. These pesticides
included Diazinon, Di-Syston, Malathion, and Phorate at concentrations of 0.9,
0.3, 1.1, and 1.1 ppm, respectively. All of these concentrations attenuated
rapidly in the upper 1 foot. Chemical analysis on the sample obtained at one
foot showed non-detectable concentrations of Diazinon, Di-Syston, and
Phorate. Malathion was still present in a concentration of 0.2 ppm. This
concentration is nearly an order of magnitude less concentrated than. the
surface sample. None of the samples from greater depths were analyzed.
Petroleum Constituents
Three soil borings were advanced to a depth of 25 feet below grade in
the area of the former steam cleaning sump. Ten soil samples obtained from
these borings were analyzed for the presence and concentration of total
petroleum hydrocarbons, and oil and grease.
The two samples obtained from Boring B1 showed no detectable
concentration of the above-listed petroleum constituents.
Three soil samples were obtained from Boring B2. This boring was
advanced near the center of the former steam-cleaning sump. Concentrations
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 15
of oil and grease attenuated rapidly between the 5, 10, and 15 foot samples.
These concentrations were 2840, 496, and 68 ppm, respectively. Conversely,
total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations increased slightly with depth to a
high of 80 ppm in the sample obtained from a depth of 15 feet.
Based upon review of the data obtained from our entire investigation,
the following conclusions were detailed in our April 10/11, 1989 report.
1. Historic information indicates that groundwater exists
beneath the subject property at a depth of 107-117 feet below
grade.
2. The alluvial material comprising the soil profile consists of
silt in the upper 4 feet. Generally speaking, silty and well graded
sands complete the soil profile to the bottom of our borings.
3. Contamination by petroleum constituents exists in the subsoils
surrounding the former steam cleaning sump location.
4. Although non-detected concentrations of petroleum
constituents were not revealed in the bottom two samples of
Boring B2, the rapid attenuation present was interpreted as being
indicative of that nearing the bottom of the plume.
Concentrations of some petroleum constituents had attenuated by
nearly orders of magnitude within the five foot intervals.
5. The lateral extent of the petroleum contamination in the
subsoils surrounding the former steam cleaning sump were
defined by the chemical analysis of soil samples obtained from
Borings B1 and B3. This area is approximated by the soil
encompassed within a radius of 15 to 20 feet from the center of
the former steam cleaning sump.
6. Organochlorine pesticides were present in trace
concentrations in the soils beneath the former
pesticide/herbicide storage area and immediate vicinity. Most of
these .concentrations were present primarily in the surface soils
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 16
and attenuated to non-detectable concentrations in the upper
foot. Only trace concentrations of 4,4-DDE were present in the
soil samples obtained from depths of one foot below grade in
Borings B6 and BB.
7. Trace to high concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides
were present in surface soil samples obtained from Borings B6,
B7, and B8. Only trace levels of Di-Syston an Malathion were
present in the soil samples obtained from a depth of 1 foot below
grade in Borings B6 and B8, respectively. These levels were quite
low and did not appear to threaten groundwater quality beneath
the site.
8. Due to the concentration of 410 ppm Di-Syston present in the
surface soils (< 1 foot) in Boring B7, this soil should be considered
hazardous to human health. Ingestion and dermal contact should
be avoided.
REMEDIAL OPTIONS
In accordance with Kern County standards, three remedial options are
presented as follows:
Option No. 1
Option No. 1 would entail the excavation of contaminated soils and their
subsequent proper disposal by the property owner. Volumes of soils from the
former steam cleaning sump area appear to make this option not practical for
that area.
In the area of the former agricultural chemical storage area, the soils
shown to be contaminated by various organochlorine and organophosphorus
pesticides may be economically and effectively removed. Excavation should
occur to a maximum depth of one to one and one-half feet below grade. The
soils should be removed by a contractor properly trained and qualified to work
in/with hazardous materials such as that known to be present. The client
should ensure that proper disposal has occurred following the removal.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 17
O_ntioD No. 2
A second option would be one of placing an impermeable cap over the
affected areas in order to reduce the potential for leaching.
In the former agricultural chemical storage area, this option would be
impractical due to the potential for ingestion or dermal contact if future
development of the property were to occur.
In the area of the former steam-cleaning sump, this option of capPing
would be a viable alternative. Special care should be taken in the cap design
so as to take into account future development which may occur on the
property.
Omio[l No. ~ ~
The third option would be one of "no action" or passive remediation.
This option is commonly considered when no threat to groundwater resources
or human/environmental health appears to be present.
In the area of the former agricultural chemical storage, this alternative
would be unacceptable due to the toxic/hazardous nature of the contaminants
present in the subsoils.
In the vicinity of the former steam-cleaning sump, the application of
passive remediation would allow for the degradation of the contaminants
present (with time) so long as surface drainages are not concentrated in the
area to a point where increased leaching occurs.
REMEDIATION$
Based upon the conclusions of our previous report and an examination
.of the remedial alternatives outlined above, the following recommendations
were made.
1. Soil excavation appears to be the most appropriate form of
remedial action for the contaminated soils in the vicinity of the
former agricultural chemical storage area. This effort should
include the import of clean fill material, and the safe and proper
disposal of the soils that would be excavated. All excavation and
importing of soils should be accomplished in a safe and effective
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 18
manner by a contractor experienced in hazardous waste/material
excavation. The transportation of the excavated material should
be accomplished by a firm liscensed for hazardous waste
transportation. Regulatory approval would be necessary prior to
the commencement of work.
2. A Passive remediation or placement of an impermeable layer
should be considered in the area of the former steam-cleaning
sump. During design of the impermeable layer (if used) future
property usage should be evaluated and taken into consideration.
LIMITATIONS
The findings and recommendations detailed in this letter was based
upon the results of field and laboratory investigations, coupled with the
interpolation of subsurface conditions associated with our soil borings. Also
incorporated was the interpretation of previous investigations in the vicinity;
therefore, the data are accurate only to the degree implied by review of the
data obtained and by professional interpretation and judgement.
Exploratory soil borings were located in the field by review of available
maps and aerial photographs and by pacing or tape measurement from
existing landmarks. Therefore, these should be considered accurate only to
the degree implied by the methods used to locate them.
Chemical testing was done by laboratories registered with the State of
California. Department of Health Services. The results of the chemical testing
are accurate only to the degree of the care of ensuring the testing accuracy
and the representative nature of the soils samples obtained.
The findings, remedial options, and recommendations presented
herewith are based on professional interpretation using state of the art
methods and resources and a degree of conservatism deemed proper as of this
report date. It is not warranted that such data and recommendations cannot be
superseded by future geotechnical, environmental, or technological, or
regulatory developments.

WORK PLAN FOR SITE CHARACTERIZATION
RANCHO LABORDE
CALLOWAY AND HAGEMAN ROADS
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION
In August, 1988, a Real Estate Due Diligence Study of the 1480-acre
Rancho Laborde site was performed by EMCON Associates. Their investigation
and sampling revealed several areas of concern in the parcel; two of which
are to be thc subject of the site characterization investigation by Krazan &
Associates, Inc. These two areas of concern are located northeast of the
intersection of Calloway and Hageman Roads. They consist of a steam cleaning
sump and a former pesticide/herbicide storage area.
Soil in the steam cleaning sump was sampled from a depth of
approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump and was analyzed for
pesticides and herbicides and for total fuel hydrocarbons. Results of thc
chemical analysis showed no detectable pesticides or herbicides, alth'ough
contamination by petroleum constituents was present.
The pesticide/herbicide storage area and its immediate vicinity
contained some discolored soils. Two soil samples were taken by EMCON, one at 6
inches below the surface and one at 10 inches below the surface, and were
analyzed various pesticides and herbicides. The priority pollutant pesticides
DDE and DDT were found in trace amounts in the shallower sample, and DDE was
detected in lesser amounts in the deeper sample. No DDT was detected in the

deeper sample. No detectable amounts of other pesticides and herbicides
covered in the analysis were found.
The results of these analyses were submitted to the Kern County Health
Department, Division of Environmental Health Services, for review. In a
November 17, 1988 letter to Mr. Jim Clements of Rancho Laborde, Ms. Amy
Green of Kern County requested that further investigation be performed at
various sites on the 1480-acre Rancho Laborde property. These sites included
the above noted pesticide/herbicide storage area and the steam cleaning sump.
The purpose of this work plan is to present a brief history of the site,
the regional geology and hydrology, and to outline the methodology of the
investigation that Krazan & Associates, Inc. has been contracted to perform.
~;ITE LOCATIQN
The two areas of concern ("project site") that will be covered by this
investigation are within an area of approximately four acres at the northeast
corner of Calloway and Hageman Roads in northwestern Bakersfield,
California. The site is approximately 2.5-3 miles north of the Kern River. The
Calloway Canal flows through the eastern portion of the Rancho Laborde
property in roughly a north-south direction. The nearby Friant-Kern Canal
flows in approximately the same direction.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute Oildale topographic
quadrangle map (photorevised 1968), the project site is located in the
northeast 1/4 of the northeast 1/4 of Section 19, T29S, R27E Mount Diablo
Baseline & Meridian.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The areas of concern at the project site consist of a steam cleaning
sump, where rinseate from the steam cleaning of farm vehicles was
accumulated, and a former pesticide/ herbicide storage area and their
immediate vicinities.
The steam cleaning sump is approximately 100 feet east of the pesticide/
herbicide storage area. The sump is approximately 12 feet by 12 feet in size and
approximately four feet deep. The sump is currently filled with clean sand.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 3
The pesticide/herbicide storage area is approximately 22 feet by 22 feet
and is currently completely surrounded and topped with a chain-link fence.
The fenced area is unPaved and soils within it show some discoloration. An
area with dimensions of approximately 22 feet by 10 feet that exists outside the
fenced pesticide/herbicide storage area also evidenced some discolored soils.
SITE HISTORY
Rancho Laborde was a farming operation owned by Mr. Gene Laborde
from approximately 1973 until 1987. The property is currently part of a
Bankruptcy Action. While the farming operation was in progress farm
vehicles were fueled, cleaned, and maintained on the ranch property.
Pesticides and herbicides for farm use were stored in the pesticide/herbicide
storage area and elsewhere on the property.
A Due Diligence Real Estate Study was conducted on a 1480-acre portion
of the Rancho Laborde operation by EMCON Associates in August, 1988. Several
areas were noted as being contaminated or having a potential to be
contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, petroleum products and/or PCB's.
Among these areas are the steam cleaning sump and the former pesticide/
herbicide storage area.
The steam cleaning sump had held the residue from steam cleaning
operations on farm vehicles and machinery. A soil sample taken from
approximately one foot below the bottom of the sump showed no pesticides or
herbicides, but some petroleum constituents were present. The EMCON
investigation also showed low concentrations of DDE and DDT in two soil
samples taken at shallow depths within the storage area.
The Kern County Ag Commissioner's records show that 1462
pesticide/herbicide containers, ranging in size from one-gallon containers to
30-gallon drums were removed from the project site. The length of storage
time of these containers is currently not known.
As a result of these and other chemical analyses performed in
conjunction with the Real Estate Due Diligence report and complaints filed
against Rancho Laborde by a private organization, the Kern County
Environmental Health Department requested that further investigation be
performed in order to determine the extent and severity of the various types of
contamination at the Rancho Laborde property. Some areas of concern have
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 4
already been addressed, e.g. two underground fuel storage tanks were removed
from the property in December, 1988 by RLW Equipment. The soil beneath
these tanks was not found to have been contaminated by petroleum products.
Krazan & Associates, Inc. has been contracted by Mr. Jim Clements of
Rancho Laborde to perform a site characterization investigation. In the
vicinity of the former pesticide/herbicide storage area and in the vicinity of
the steam cleaning sump.
GEOLOGI(~ AND ItYDROLOGIC SETTING
The project site is located in the southern portion of the San Joaquin
Valley of California. The San Joaquin Valley makes up the southern portion of
the Great Central Valley Geomorphic Province. Subsurface materials in
southern San Joaquin Valley are composed primarily of alluvium from Sierra
Nevada, Coast Range, and Transverse Range source rocks.
Alluvium from the granitic Sierra Nevada, which is to the east, has been
deposited mainly by the Kern River. The Kern River has no outlet to the ocean
and deposits all of its bed load and suspended load in the southern San Joaquin
Valley. These sediments are generally fine to medium sand and silty sand,
much of which is micaceous.
The Coast Ranges, which form the western boundary of the San Joaquin
Valley, consist of sedimentary, metamorphic and volcanic rocks which have
been extensively folded and faulted. Sediments from the Coast Ranges are
primarily' clays and silty clays.
In the area of the project site, the sediments from both these ranges are
found, though the majority of surficial and near-surface sediments are
deposits from the Kern River. The soil profile may be generally represented
by sandy silt or silty sand in alternating lenses.
Hydrology
Bakersfield is within the San Joaquin Basin Hydrologic Study area; more
specifically, it is within the 70-square-mile Kern County Basin. Below the
project site, there are believed to be two main aquifers separated by an
aquitard of regional extent. This thick clay layer aquitard is known as the
"300-foot Clay".
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 5
The aquifer above the clay layer is referred to as unconfined, and that
below the clay is termed confined. The upper, unconfined aquifer is generally
unsuitable for potable, domestic water supplies due to high total dissolved
solids content but is pumped extensively for agricultural use. The lower,
confined aquifer is used for both domestic and agricultural purposes.
According to the Kern County Water Agency Report on Water
Conditions, Improvement District #4, dated February 1988, groundwater
elevation in the vicinity of the project site is between 270 and 280 feet above
mean sea level (msl). The U.S.G.S. Oildale topographic quadrangle map shows
the elevation of the project site to be approximately 387 feet above msl. This
calculation of an approximate depth to groundwater below the project site of
107-117 feet.
This groundwater study basin perennially suffers from overdraft
'conditions due to agricultural pumping. In the Kern Basin there is an
overdraft of approximately 600,000 acre-feet per year,' which has caused some
deep subsidence of land as groundwater levels decline. Since precipitation in
the area is usually less than seven inches per year, little natural recharge
occurs. Instead, water for agricultural use and for artificial recharge is
imported to the area by means of the California Aqueduct system and by
smaller canals of the Central Valley Project. For example, Kern County Water
Agency Improvement District #4, which consists of approximately 65,000 acres
in and around the city of Bakersfield, will import approximately 77,000 acre-
feet of water this year. A total of 86,000 acre-feet is expected to be pumped in
1988-89, and 3000 acre-feet will be recharged by natural and artificial means.
Therefore, overdraft of the aquifer will amount to 83,000 acre-feet.
PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The purpose of the investigation is to determine the lateral and vertical
extent of contamination by petroleum constituents in the area of the steam
cleaning sump. Additionally the lateral and vertical extent of pesticide/
herbicide contamination in soils in and around the former pesticide/
herbicide storage area would be determined.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 6
SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The scope of the investigation will be limited to the advancement of
three to five soil borings to a maximum depth of 40 feet in the area of the
steam cleaning sump and the advancement of three soil borings to a maximum
depth of ten (10) feet in the vicinity of the former pesticide/ herbicide storage
area. Soil samples will be collected for logging purposes from all borings.
Selected samples will be submitted for chemical analysis to determine the
presence and concentration of certain petroleum constituents, pesticides and
herbicides.
METHODOLOGY
In order to accomplish the goals established in the purpose and scope of
the investigation, the following methods would be employed:
1. All necessary permits will be obtained prior to the
commencement of the investigation at the project site. It should
be understood that copies of this Work/Health & Safety plans
may need to be released to various regulatory agencies to obtain
approval to begin our field investigation.
2. An additional literature su~rvey of published geologic and
groundwater data in the vicinity of the project site will be
conducted in an attempt to fully describe the conditions
present.
3. Exploratory soil borings will be advanced by means of a
hand auger and/or a truck-mounted drill rig utilizing hollow
stem auger. Drilling fluids will not be used while advancing any
of the borings.
4. Soil samples would be obtained for logging purposes at
intervals of five feet or less, commencing at an approximate
depth of one foot below existing grade in each boring location.
Selected soil samples would also be submitted for the chemical

analysis of petrOleum constituents and/or pesticides/herbicides
etc ....
5. Soil samples would be obtained by means of pushing
stainless steel tubes at discrete intervals (ASTM D-1587-86,
"Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils").
6. During the drilling process, drilling returns will be field..~
screened with an H-au brand, portable photoionization detector
(PID). The PID is .a direct reading real-time.analyzer that is ~)[~)(t~O~(%~

soils. The PID that will be used for this investigation uses a 10.2
electron volt lamp and is calibrated using an iso-butylene
calibration gas.
7. Three to five soil borings would be advanced in the
vicinity of the steam cleaning sump to a maximum depth of
feet, or until three successive non-detected readings were
obtained using the PID.
8. Three exploratory soil borings would be advanced within
and in the vicinity of the pesticide/herbicide storage area to a
maximum depth of 10 feet below grade. Five soil samples from
each boring would be obtained: one at the surface, one at a
depth of 1 foot, one at 5 feet, and one at 10 feet. The first two
samples would be obtained by hand sampling. Placement of the
borings will be in those areas that show the greatest visual
evidence of contamination.
Soil bo~ings will be backfilled with drilling returns and

necessary to minimize the chances of cross-contamination.
13. All field work would be conducted under standards set
forth by industry and deemed acceptable by various regulatory
agencies. Hard hats, protective eyewear, steel-toe boots,
protective clothing, and respiratory devices shall be worn by
field personnel when deemed appropriate by the field engineer
or geologist present. For further health and safety related
information, please refer to the attached Health & Safety Plan.
14. Upon completion of the field and laboratory
investigation, a detailed report would be compiled presenting
the findings of our investigation; and, if applicable, containing
our recommendations for remediation.
We would be in a position to begin the field portion of the investigation
within ten working days of notification of your and Kern County's verbal
acceptance of our work plan. It is anticipated that the field portion of the
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Proj. No. E88-145
Page No. 9
investigation would take about four working days, depending on the
conditions encountered. Results of the chemical analysis would be expected
approximately two weeks after the completion of the field portion of the
investigation; however, results could be obtained within a shorter time at
additional cost to the client. The final report should be available for review
approximately ten working days following receipt of the results of chemical
analysis; however, verbal results could be made available sooner. This time
schedule is intended for use only as a planning tool. Factors such as the time
necessary for regulatory approval, weather, or the subsurface conditions
encountered are beyond our control.

2.0 HAZARD EVALUATION
This Health and Safety Plan addresses specific on-site work activities
related to the collecting of samples and data from the project site. While the basic Work
and Health & Safety Plans are by now very familiar to Krazan & Associates field crews,
work on certain sites, particularly in Category A, B and C protective equipment, involve
exposure potentials to various contaminants and possibly to contaminants at
unpredictable levels.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES

Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 6
Based on the limited historical and technical data available, this plan covers
anticipated activities and hazards, and makes provision for modification or amendment as
health-related data is obtained during this investigation. This pla,n will be amended with
site-specific hazards identified as posing a potential health hazard for workers. The
Safety Officer may elect to conduct a preliminary survey involving air and bulk solid
sample analysis, and amend the Health and Safety Plan as needed.
As analytical data become available, the information will be evaluated by a
Health and Safety Task Leader. Appropriate action in the form of Work/Health and Safety
Plan modifications will be initiated by the Safety Officer or the Health and Safety Task
Leader.
The anticipated activities of this investigation will include.:
· The advancement of soil borings using hollow stem auger to obtain soil
samples for analysis.

Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 9
2.2 Heat Stress/Stroke and Noise
During day-to-day field work, the on-site engineer/geologist and/or safety
officer will be alert for the signs and symptoms of heat stress. Hazard exists when
individuals are required to work in warm or hot temperatures while wearing protective
clothing. When the ambient air temperature exceeds 85°F, heat stress may become a
problem. For an unacclimatized person this temperature may be less. If these conditions
are encountered, the following precautions will be taken:
The on-site geologist/engineer or safety officer will regularly monitor the
ambient air temperature.
Field team members will be observed for the following signs and symptoms
of heat stress:
· profuse sweating
· skin color change
· increased heart rate
· vision problems
· body temperatures in excess of 100°F as measured by fever
detectors (fo. rehead strips) may also be used.
Any team member who exhibits any of these signs or symptoms will be
removed immediately from field work and be requested to remove impervious clothing,
and consume electrolyte fluid or cool water while resting in a shaded area. The
individual will be instructed to rest until the symptoms are no longer recognizable. If
the symptoms appear critical, persist or get worse, immediate medical attention will be
sought.
While working around drilling equipment the potential exists for exposure
to excessive noise. If noise levels are known/believed to exceed 85 DBA-8 hours per
day, all individuals will be instructed to use adequate hearing protectors (ear plugs).
All field team members will be given background and annual evaluations. All field team
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No, 10
members have been/will be trained in noise hazards and how to wear the protective
equipment.
2.3 ~C;amplin_o for Chemical Analysis
Samples will be collected for the purpose of observation and soil logging.
Additionally, selected samples will be submitted for chemical analysis. Some of these
samples may contain high levels of hazardous materials creating the potential for
chemical inhalation exposure, skin contact and possibly even ingestion. These activities
may pose one of the greatest risks of chemical exposure for the site assessment work
plan. Appropriate worker training, protective measures and medical monitoring will be
enforced to control this health hazard potential.
2.4 Packaaina and Shipment of Samples
After the samples have been collected in sample containers, they will be
properly packaged to protect shipping personnel. The hazards associated with shipping
samples are minimal, provided care is taken to prevent the containers from leaking or
breaking. Most of the samples obtained during this investigation will be hand delivered.
Additionally, sample containers will be plainly marked in case of exposure.
2.5 Sample Preparation and An~l_vsis
The preparation of samples for analysis may expose the technician to
routine hazards associated with laboratory work. Standard laboratory safety procedures
should be used to prepare and analyze these samples. The samples should be treated
carefully and handled inside a properly operating fume hood due to their potentially
volatile and hazardous nature. In the event of a mishap, the laboratory supervisor
should be notified immediately.

3.0 SAFE WORK PRACTICES AND IFVEL OF PERSONAL PROTECTION
The following sections present procedures on how to adequately address the
primary potential hazards encountered in the different task of this project. The standard
level of personal protection is also defined.
Based on the work to be performed the type of chemical hazards that may be
encountered, EPA Lever C personal protection has been determined to be adequately
protective and suitable for most of the tasks in this project. Certain tasks may require
a higher level of protection, such as EPA Level B clothing or air-supplied respirators.
These determinations will be made by the Safety Officer or Safety Task Leader and will
be specified as amendments to this section of the plan.
3.1 Potential Fire/Explosion Hazard
Due to the flammable nature of most hydrocarbons, explosive vapor
conditions will be carefully monitored by the Krazan & Associates task leader. The lower
explosive limit (LEL) for gasoline hydrocarbons is approximately 1.4% in air. Using a
10-fold safety factor, a working criteria of 1400 ppmv (10% LEL) as measured by a
PID is established for explosion hazards. When measurements obtained near the bore
hole revea{ this concentration, nitrogen gas will be injected into the well to reduce the
possibilities of explosion. Should total hydrocarbon levels of 1,400 ppmv or above be
detected in the general drilling work area, work will be stopped. Additionally, the field
crew will be instructed to stay upwind until these concentrations diminish.
Due to the non-combustible nature of most pesticides/herbicides (with the
exception of hydrocarbon additives) the criteria used for assessing the flammability/
combustibility hazards that exist will be based on gasoline hydrocarbons. Selected
pesticides/herbicides have lower explosive limits (LEL's) similar to gasoline
hydrocarbons.
3.2 Potential Health Hazards .
Depending on the conditions encountered, the Task Leader in coordination
with the Project Safety Officer may increase or decrease the leve~ of persona~ protection
required of all field team members. Such decisions will be made based on initial and
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 12
periodic measurement of breathing zone concentrations of petroleum constituents by PID
and on other data collected as work is conducted on a given site.
Generally speaking, modified EPA Level C Personal Protection will be in
accordance with the following guidelines:
· Krazan & Associates technician uniform
· hard hat
· safety glasses/goggles
· chemical splash goggles will be worn when increase splash
hazards exist, such as steam cleaning activities, during or the
handling of contaminated liquid samples.
· ear plugs (as required)
· Splash resistant (yellow) Tyvek® coveralls (or
equivalent).
· Latex or PVC disposable gloves should be worn under butyl
rubber or nitrile gloves to provide an extra measure of hand
protection when handling heavily contaminated soils and water
samples.
· chemical-resistant steel toe/shank rubber boots
· Respiratory protection will be worn while in the exclusion
zone. Direct reading personal breathing zone monitoring will
be performed. The criteria established for the use of
respiratory protection are discussed in Section 4.0.
3.3 Potential Heat Stress Hazards
During conditions when the temperature, humidity and/or radiant heat are
high and air movement is Iow, the following procedures will be followed to prevent heat
stress hazards for workers wearing protective clothing/equipment:
· Work activity will be limited to reduce the amount of heat naturally
produced by the body. Alternating work and rest periods will be used in
high potential heat stress conditions. For example, in moderately hot
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 13
conditions, 5 minute rest breaks in the shade with 60 minute work periods
in the sun may be desirable. Under severe conditions, the duration of rest
periods will be increased as necessary,
· Heavy work will be performed during, the cooler periods of the day when
feasible.
· Under heat stress conditions special attention will be given toward
assuring workers replace lost body fluids. Adequate supplies of cool
drinking water or electrolyte solution will be provided by each company for
their own employees' use. Workers will be instructed in the need to
replace the fluids throughout the working day.
· Special care and attention will be paid to field crew members that may not
be acclimatized to San Joaquin Valley weather.
3.4 Potential Noise Hazards
Exposure to excessive noise will be controlled by issuance and use of
hearing protection as instructed by the Task Leader or Safety Officer.
4.0 OHEMI(~AI~ VAPOR HAZARD (~RITERIA
Exposure to elevated levels of chemical vapors 'present potential health
risks which must be addressed. Two major concerns regarding these vapors do exist.
These concerns include the flammability/explosion hazard and the potential
inhalation/ingestion/dermal health hazards.
Much activity has been associated with the project site. Farming activities
including the use and storage of hazardous materials have been associated with
operations. Site visits, inspections, and investigations have recently been conducted by
consultants and regulatory personnel in Iow to no levels of personal protection.
It is anticipated that in light of past sample results, the major safety
concern is related to the inhalation of known concentrations of petroleum constituents
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 14
rather than those of minor levels of pesticides/herbicides in ambient air. The vapor
pressures associated with many of the pesticides/herbicides that maybe encountered
during our investigation are Iow. Therefore, the major concern of the pesticides is
mists and particulates and not vapors, which would be effectively reduced by high
efficiency particulate filters (HEPA). For this reason it is anticipated that EPA Level C
protection with splash resistant outer wear is more than adequate. Respiratory
protection (full face air purifying respirator with acid gas/organic vapor cartridge, and
HEPA prefilter) will be used to protect personnel from inhalation of chemical
vapors/mists/particulates. In the event that the need for an increased level of
protection is believed to be needed, the increase to Level B etc.., will occur.
A limit of 100 ppmv total hydrocarbon is proposed as the maximum
acceptable hydrocarbon level of exposure without respiratory protection. An H-nu®
photoionization detector (PID) will be used to measure real-time breathing zone
concentrations for comparison with the 100 ppmv limit. When a persistent level of
100 ppmv is noted to exist, an appropriate respirator will be donned by that field team
member. In a typical situation, with 1% of the hydrocarbon vapors being benzene, a
100 ppmv concentration of total hydrocarbon would result in a breathing zone level of
less than 1 ppmv benzene. This level is one tenth of the current Permissible Exposure
Limit (PEL) for an 8-hour occupational exposure to benzene. These theories are only
applicable to the hydrocarbon vapors present.
To assure benzene exposures are below a 1 ppmv limit, Dr~ger® benzene
detector tubes will be used if PID measurements indicated persistent hydrocarbon levels
above 30 ppmv. These detector tubes are not compound specific and may respond to
other less hazardous petroleum hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene.
In the event that benzene detector tube measurements indicate that levels exceed 1 ppmv;
respirators will be required.
If benzene concentrations exceed 10 ppmv, work will cease. The field crew
will be instructed to stay upwind of the borehole until the concentrations subside. This
is considered a conservative approach since the Dr~iger® detector tubes may respond to
several hydrocarbons other than benzene.
Table 1 summarizes the various hydrocarbon vapor concentration and
appropriate responses to prevent exposure to these potential vapor hazards.

6.0 WORK ZONE ACCESS
During drilling operations a work zone shall be established and roped off.
This zone should include all drilling equipment and its immediate vicinity. Only
authorized personnel will be permitted to enter this work zone. Authorized personnel
will include those who have duties requiring their presence in the work zone, have
received appropriate health and safety training, and whose background medical records
may be obtained to verify that the health of that individual is not at extreme risk by
his/her presence.
7.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
The Work Plan specifies initial drilling and sampling activities at areas
where petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils, sludges, liquids and/or vapors are
anticipated. Due to the volatile nalure of the petroleum hydrocarbons that may be
encountered during the initial drilling and sampling operations, decontamination of
equipment and vehicles will be of minimal importance since the volatile hydrocarbons
will rapidly vaporize. However, contaminated sampling equipment and any obvious
contaminant accumulations will not leave the project site. Field team members will also
abide by the following guidelines to insure that contaminants will not remain in contact
with their body.
· All personnel involved in the field portion of this investigation will be
instructed to wash their hands, face, neck and arms before leaving the
project site. Krazan & Associates will assure the presence of soap, water
and towels at the drilling site for this purpose. All crews will be instructed
to shower at their home or lodge at the end of the workday.
· No eating, drinking, smoking or chewing of gum or tobacco will be
permitted in the work zone.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 20
· During this investigation, the nature of materials handled and the extent
of contamination may require formal decontamination procedures and
delineated work/clean zones. At the discretion of the Task Leader, the
following work zones and decontamination procedures will be used to
minimize the transfer of hazardous substances from the site so as to protect
the environment and public health.
7.1 Work Zones
The field team shall prevent the uncontrolled movement of waste materials
or hazardous substances from the drilling site. The team will prevent migration of site
contaminants by using the following work zones and equipment/personnel
decontamination procedures.
Exclusion Zone: A 30-foot circle around any given bore hole will be defined
before drilling starts. In most cases, the zone will be "roped off" with an applicable
barricade tape. This designated area will constitute the "Exclusion Zone". This zone is
where potentially hazardous surface contaminants as a result of our investigation and
physical hazards to the workers will be contained. Personal protection equipment will
be required in this area according to the discretion of the Task Leader and/or in
accordance with the quidelines contained in this plan. The size of the Exclusion Zone may
be changed to accommodate site conditions and to ensure contaminant containment at the
discretion of the project manager, safety officer, or task leader. No personnel will be
permitted into the Contamination Reduction Zone or the Exclusion Zone unless they are in
full compliance with the existing Safety Plan. The buddy system must be maintained by
all personnel while in this zone. Intrinsically safe communications will be maintained
with all personnel in this area.
Contamination Reduction Zone: An area surrounding the Exclusion Zone will
be defined. All personal decontamination activities will occur in this area. A waste
container may be placed in this area so that contaminated disposal equipment can be
placed inside and covered. Surface/soil contamination in this area may be controlled by
use of some form of plastic sheeting.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 21
Support Zone: A Support Zone, must be defined for each field activity.
Support personal and/or equipment is located in this uncontaminated (clean) area.
Normal Krazan & Associates field uniforms are appropriate within this zone. The
location of this zone depends on factors such as accessibility, wind direction, nearby
rods, utilities, traffic patterns, shelter, etc ....
7.2 Decontamination Protocol
Decontamination of personnel and equipment will be important to ensure
that contamination does not spread to others. Personal decontamination mainly involves
the removal of some outer wear and good personal hygiene habits. Contamination should
'never by in contact with the skin. All field team members must follow this plan to
ensure that contamination does not remain on equipment, sample containers or their
body.
All field team members should remove their personal protective clothing in
a certain sequence to avoid contaminating their inner clothing or themselves. When
removing personal protective equipment, the following steps should be observed:
Step 1: Remove all equipment, sample containers, and notes and non-
essential items while in the Contamination Reduction Zone. Obtain
decontamination solutions or a steam cleaner and decontaminate all tools
and sampling equipment. Under most circumstances, all wastes and
rinsates will be properly contained.
Step 2: Remove outer gloves and boot covers and place them inside a
garbage bag or drum.
Step 3: Remove tape from boots and gloves and remove the Tyvek®
coverall. Tyvek® coverall removal should be accomplished by rolling,
the outside of the coverall inside itself so that only the inside of it is
exposed. Boots, inner gloves, and respirator should still be worn.
Step 4: Remove the inner gloves and respirator when in the Support Zone.

7.3 P~rsonal Hyaiene Reauirements
The following procedures should always be observed in the support zone:
· All field team members must be clean shaven (except mustache) of all
facial hair to ensure the adequate fit of respirator.
· All personnel must wash their hands, face, neck and forearms before
consuming any food or liquids, smoking, using the rest room or leaving the
site.
· All personnel must take a shower at the end of each work day. Particular
attention should be given to areas of the body that are typically overlooked.
8.0 MONITORING PROGRAM
Personal exposure to ambient levels of airborne hazards and noise should be
monitored or observed to insure that personnel exposures do not exceed acceptable limits
and for the selection of protective equipment. Airborne contamination and downhole
hydrocarbon vapor concentrations will be measured primarily by the use of a direct
reading instrument such as a photoionization detector. If concentrations approach
established levels, Dr~.ger® detector tubes will be used to determine the presence and
concentration of benzene. Site visits/inspections may be conducted by the Krazan &
Associates Safety Officer to insure compliance with this plan.
8.1 Photoionization-Detector
During this investigation, the ambient air, drilling returns, soil samples,
and boreholes will be screened with a calibrated H-nu® brand, portable photoionization
detector (PID). The PID is a direct reading real-time analyzer that is capable of
detecting most of the volatile hydrocarbons constituents present in a vapor phase. The
PID to be used for this investigation uses a 10.2 electron volt lamp and is calibrated

using an iso-butylene calibration gas. Iso-butylene is a relatively safe calibration gas
similar in ionization potential to benzene (the carcinogen of primary concern present in
petroleum products).
8.2 Dr~iaer® Detector Tubes
Dr~iger® detector tubes will be used to determine airborne concentrations
of benzene in the breathing zone during this investigation. A member of the field team
will take detector tube readings if high PID measurements so warrant.
Readings will be taken in the area where the field team members are
working. Dr~ger® #6728561 benzene detector tubes will be used (measurement range
'0.5-10 ppmv). The detector tube pump will be inspected for proper operation prior to
field operations.
9.0 SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING
All field personnel will be trained in methods of safely conducting field
activities. This plan is intended to provide additional site specific information to
accomplish this goal. It will be the responsibility of the Project Directors, Safety
Officer, and Safety Task Leader to ensure the field team has access to, reads, and
understands this plan. It will be the individual's responsibility to bring to the attention
of the Project Director or Safety Officer any portion ol~ this plan and related training
they do not fully understand. Prior to the commencement of the field portion of this
investigation, the field team will meet to discuss the contents of this plan and make sure
all members understand it.
At the site meeting, all field team members will be instructed regarding the
health and safety hazards. Especially:
· Physical safety hazards.
· Emergency procedures.
· Explosive/flammability hazards.
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 24
· The hazardous materials that may be encountered and their
potential routes of exposure.
· Personal hygiene practices.
· The types, proper use, inspection,limitations, maintenance,
and storage of protective clothing and equipment (as
applicable).
· In the event that the ambient air temperature exceeds 85°F,
a review of heat stress symptom recognition/corrective
procedures will be conducted. For an unacclimatized person,
this value may be less.
Special emphasis will concern the use and limitations of respiratory
protection. Half-mask respirators (or equivalent) equipped with air purifying organic
vapor cartridges (acid gas) with high efficiency particulate (HEPA) filter will be used.
Full-face respirators will be used if eye irritation or skin contact exposure potential
exists.
Medical/physical fitness requirements to wear respiratory protection, will
be established by a physician, and a letter stating such was written.
Individuals will be trained in use limitations and maintenance of half-mask
and full-face respirators including qualitative fit testing, routine inspection,
replacement of parts, cleaning, disinfection, and storage requirements.
Copies of this entire plan will be provided for each field team member at
the project site, or prior to arrival.

10.0 MEDICAL MONITORING PROGRAM
The field investigation at this project site is expected to involve active
physical work and potential exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides/herbicides
and possibly other related hazardous substances. Exposure to heat stress, noise and
physical safety hazards may also be encountered. The work will require people of good
health with normal vision and hearing. Krazan & Associates' industrial physician is
periodically asked to provide documentation of employee medical fitness to perform the
required work in the form of signed document. This documentation should also indicate
the employee's ability to perform the required work while wearing a respirator.
Medical testing will also be performed after the field work to determine if any
'significant exposures have occurred.
11.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The emergency procedures described in this plan are designed to give the
field team guidance in the handling medical emergencies, fires, explosions, and excessive
emissions. These emergency procedures will be carefully explained to the field team
during the on-site health and safety meeting.
11.1 Injuries
Medical problems must be quickly dealt with; a road map to the nearest
emergency medical facility are kept in an envelope on the dash of each Krazan field
vehicle of drill rig. The local emergency numbers are:
Police: 9 1 1
Fire: 9 1 1
Paramedics: 9 1 1
Hospital: (805) 321-5551
County Hazardous Materials Team (805) 861-3636
Kern County Environmental
Health Department (805) 861-3636
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 26
The field team is to seek immediate professional medical attention for all
serious injuries. A first aid kit will be present at the drilling site for use in case of
minor injuries. If any field team member receives a splash or particle in the eye, the
eye is to be flushed for 15 minutes. Clean water or a portable eye wash will be available
for this purpose. Instruction will also be provided to wash any skin areas with soap and
water if direct contact with contaminants has occurred.
During normal field activities work clothes may become wet. If a field team
member's clothing becomes saturated with an obviously contaminated liquid/sludge the
possibility for dermal exposure to contaminants may exist. Under these circumstances,
that field team member will change out of the contaminated clothing into clean clothing of
the proper level of protection. :
11.2 Fire and Exolosion Hazards
Fires are of particular concern during this investigation due to the
possibility of encountering chemical liquid or vapors. An adequate multi-purpose
(A,B,C) fire extinguisher will be located on-site at all times.
The local fire department will be notified by a Krazan & Associates
representative of the location and anticipated activities in order to provide a more
timely response in the event of an emergency. In the remote chance that a fire does
occur, the local fire department will be notified immediately. Additional calls to the main
office of Krazan & Associates will be made. The project director would then notify the
client.
11.3 Operations Shutdown
Under certain extremely hazardous situations the Task Leader, Project
Director, Task Safety Officer, may request that field operations be temporarily
suspended while the underlying hazard is corrected or controlled.
During any sampling or drilling activity breathing zone PID measurements
for hydrocarbons will be performed. If these levels exceed 30 ppmv, detector tubes will
be used i0 further quantify the benzene vapors present. If the level of benzene is
detected above 1 ppmv or PID readings are consistently in excess of 100 ppmv,
KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES
Project No. E88-145
Health & Safety Plan
Page No. 27
respirators will be required. If benzene is detected above 10 ppmv in breathing zone
detector tube samples, all activity will cease until these concentrations diminish. If PID
measurements above 1400 ppmv occur, a potential fire or explosion hazard may exist.
Under these circumstances activities will be stopped until these levels are brought down.
This may be accomplished by containerizing contaminated soils or liquids, covering
contaminated soil, foam, visquene, or with clean soil to isolate the source.
12.0 RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENT
The following record keeping requirements will be maintained
in the health and safety or program file indefinitely:
· Copy of this Health and Safety plan
· Health and Safety training certification forms
· Written respiratory protection program
· Respirator training certification
· Any accident/illness report forms
· Documentation of employees medical ability to perform work
and wear respirators

OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS
Technical cyanazine has been determined to cause birth
defects in rats and fetotoxicity (but no birth defects) in
rabbits at maternally toxic doses. Technical cyanazine has
shown variable effects on rat testes at high doses in a dust
inhalation study.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Technical cyanazine: Signs in acutely intoxicated rats and
mice included lethargy, labored breathing, lacrimation and
and salivation.~ In long-term feeding studies, the primary
effect was reduced growth rate, partly due to decreased food
intake. No specific target organ was noted.
In feeding studies on technical cyanazine, gastric
ulceration was. observed in rabbits at 4 mg/kg and in rats
at 50 mg/kg body weight. Some dogs frequently vomited
throughout a two year feeding study.

3. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA: (CONTINUED)
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Foam fire extinguishing system is
preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible
contamination. Toxis irritating gases may be formed. Rapid
decomposition above 320-392F (160-200C). Violent rupture
of containers may occur.
FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Use positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus.
4. REACTIVITY DATA:
STABILITY: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID) Avoid heating above 50C (122F).

130C (266F) which can lead to higher temperatures and violent
decomposition if heat generated is not removed. Contains
petroleum derivative solvent - will burn.
INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) Alkaline
materials. Consult manufacturer for specific cases.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions, hydrogen
chloride, ethyl sulfide, diet.hyl sulfide and nitrogen oxides
can be formed.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
§..ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION:
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Absorb small spills with
material such as sand, ZORBALL, or dirt. Wash exposed body

storage or disposal. Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, rinsate, or
other pesticide wastes is a violation of federal law. If
these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label
' ' instructions, contact your state pesticide or environmental
control agency, or the hazardous waste representative at the
, ! nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: May cause pain. May cause moderate eye irritation and
slight corneal injury.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation.
SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to
result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is >2000 mg/kg.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is moderate. The oral LD50
for female rats is 272 mg/kg. Amounts ingested incidental to
industrial handling are not likely to cause injury; however
ingestion of larger amounts could cause serious injury, even
death. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung
damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia, a condition
caused by petroleum and petroleum-like solvents.
INHALATION: Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate-type
chlolinesterase inhibition. Excessive exposure to high
concentrations of solvents may cause eye and upper respiratory
irritation, central nervous system depression, headache,
dizziness, increased sensitivity to epinephrine and irregular
heartbeats.
SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: Excessive exposure may produce
organophosphate-type cholinesterase inhibition. Signs and
symptoms of excessive exposure to active ingredients

t. may be headache, dizziness, incoordination, muscle
twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea,
sweating, pinpoint pupils, blurred' vision, salivation, tearing,
tightness in chest, excessive urination, convulsions. Repeated
.., excessive exposures to high concentrations of xylene may cause
liver and kidney injury and effects on blood cells. Xylene, a
minor component of this mixture, is reported to have caused
hearing loss in laboratory animals upon inhalation of high
..... ~' concentrations; such effects have not been reported in humans.
i"i~.'' Active ingredient did not cause cancer in animal studies.
Active ingredient did not cause birth defects in laboratory
animals, Xylene has been reported to cause effects on the
fetus when administered to pregnant laboratory animals,
However, the low levels present in this product are not
-.. considered to present a hazard to the fetus. In animal
studies, active ingredient has been shown not to intefere
with reproduction. Results of in vitro ("test tube") and
in vivo mutagenicity tests on xylene have been negative,
Based on a majority of negative data and some equivocal or
marginally positive results, active ingredient is considered
~ to have minimal mutagenic potential.
7. FIRST AID:
EYES: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously
for ]5 minutes. Consult medical personnel.
.!
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. Wash contaminated
clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes and other
contaminated leather articles, such as belts and watchbands.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or
tr'ansport to emergency facility immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
" mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.

7. FIRST AID: (CONTINUED)
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: The decision of whether to induce vomiting or
not should be made by an attending physician. If lavage is
performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control.
Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity
when considering emptying the stomach. Atropine by injection
is the preferable antidote. Oximes may or may not be
therapeutic but it is recommended they not be used in place of
atropine. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after
decontamination. Suggest serum and/or rbc cholinesterase
determination. Consult standard literature. Supportive care.
Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to
reactions of the patient.

VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guideline. Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide general
and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels
below the exposure guidelines.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained
below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is
required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying ·
respirator. For emergency and other conditions where the
exposure guideline may be greatly exceeded, use an approved
positive-pressure self-contained bFeathing apparatus. In
confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an approved
positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

ADDITIONAL ~LEALTH DATA ~-.
5kin contact .with concentrate or dust can cause rash and swelling. Fingernails and
toenails exposed to concentrate may crack and shed, followed by normal regrowth. 5p~ay
solutions may produce white spots on the nails.
Eye contact with liquid concentrate or dust may result in severe inflammation which
develops gradually,..reaching its maximum after 12-24 hours. Although eye injury may be
extensive, a slow but complete recovery usually occurs. Dilute spray solutions may also
cause eye irritation.
Signs and symptoms following ingestion include a burning sensation of the mouth and tongue
~ollowed by vomiting, diarrhea and retching In serious.poisoning there may be 2-3 weeks
during which transient kidney failure and liver complications may be seen along with
progressive pulmonary changes. Death is usually due to pulmonary fibrosis. Paraquat is
only slowly absorbed through skin so that incidental contact with label-recommended
dilutions has not been associated with systemic injury. However, prolonged contact with
the concentrate on injured or irritated skin may increase absorption and thus the
probability o£ kidney and lung involvement.
Note to Physician: Call Chevron Poison Information Center (415) 233-3737 at any hour
obtain toxicology and medical management consultation, a. supply of bentonite clay and a

13-Feb-88 Page 3
Du Pont Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS No: M0000109
(HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION - CONTINUED)
(29 CFR 1910.1200).
EYE CONTACT
Based on the presence mevinphos, product may be
fatal if absorbed through the eye; may produce acute
cholinesterase depression.
SKIN CONTACT
Product is highly toxic and may be fatal if absorbed through
the skin; may produce acute cholinesterase depression.
Based on the presence of mixed xylenes, product is
mildly irritating to the skin and prolonged or repeated
liquid contact can result in defatting and drying of the
skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis.
INHALATION
May produce acute cholinesterase depression. Based on the
presence of mixed xylenes, high vapor concentrations may
produce CNS (Central Nervous System) depression.
INGESTION
Product is highly toxic and may be fatal if swallowed; may
produce acute cholinesterase depression. Based on the
presence of mixed xylenes, product may produce CNS
depression, ingestion of product ]nay result in vomiting.
Aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must be
avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration
pneumonitis.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Irritation as noted above. Acute cholinesterase depression
may be evidenced by headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
abdominal cramps, excessive sweating, salivation and
tearing, constricted pupils, blurred vision, tightness in
chest, weakness, muscle twitching and confusion; in extreme
cases, unconsciousness, convulsions and severe respiratory
depression may occur. Early to moderate CNS depression may
be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea;
in extreme cases, unconsciousness and death may occur.
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Preexisting skin or respiratory disorders may be aggravated
by exposure to components of this product. Pre-existing
conditions which lower cholinesterase levels increase
vulnerability to cholinesterase depression. These include:
(for plasma) genetic cholinesterase deficiency; advanced
liver disease; chronic alcoholfsm; malnutrition;
dermatomyositis; existing toxicity from exposure to carbon
disulfide; benzalkonium salts, organic mercury compounds,
ciguatoxins or solanines; and (for RBC) hemolytic anemias.

wide ~ariety of organs based on the presence of xylene.
SUPPLEMENTAL FORMATION
The following information is available on mevinphos,
a component of Phosdrin 4 EC:
In subchronic feeding studies in laboratory animals, the
most significant effect noted was cholinesterase depression
at thresholds of 2, 2.5 and 0.2 ppm in rats, dogs and
calves, respectively. In female rats, kidney and liver
weights increased at doses of 50 and 100 ppm, respectively.
NO histopathological changes were noted at sub-lethal doses.
In two year feeding studies, the threshold for
cholinesterase depression was 1.5 ppm for both rats and
dogs. In addition, blood urea levels were raised in rats
dosed at 5 ppm and above. There were no gross or
microscopic pathological effects attributed to mevinphos
and no carcinogenicity was observed.
No significant reproductive effects were noted in rats and
no teratogenic response was observed in rabbits.
No nerve damage was noted for mevinphos. ~
Mevinphos exhibited low mutagenic potential.-
The following information is available on xylene, a
component of Phosdrin 4 EC:
Laboratory animals exposed by various routes to high doses
of xylene showed evidence of effects in the liver, kidneys,
lungs, spleen, heart and adrenals. Rats exposed to xylene
vapor during pregnancy showed embryo/fetotoxic effects.
Mice exposed orally to doses producing maternal toxicity
also showed embryo/fetotoxic effects.
Carcinogenicity
None of the components in this chemical is listed by
IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a carcinogen.

FIRST AID
INHAI~%TION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of
water. Call a physican.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving two glasses of
water and sticking finger down throat. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This is an Organophosphate (OP) Insecticide. Do not wait
for laboratory confirmation to treat patients with strong
clinical evidence of poisoning. Establish airway and
oxygenation.. IV Atropine Sulfate is the antidote of choice:
moderately severe poisoning, use 0.4-2.0 mg in adults or
0.05 mg/kg in children. Repeat every 15 minutes until
atropinization is achieved. Severe poisoning may require
larger doses. Cholinergic toxicity may recur as
atropinization wears off; monitor patient closely. Draw
blood for RBC and plasma cholinesterase. In addition,
pralidoxime (2-PAM) is .indicated during the first 36 hours
in severe poisonings. Slow IV administration (no less than
2 minutes) of 1 gm in adults or 20-50 mg/kg 'in children may
be repeated in 1 to 2 hours if muscle weakness, twitching,
and/or respiratory depression persist. Avoid morphine,
aminophylline, phenothiazines, reserpine, furosemide and
ethacrynic acid.

HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY rn
The following information presents both human experience and the results of scientific experiments used by
qualified experts to assess the effects of Roundup herbicide on the health of exposed individuals and to
support the Precautionary Statements and Occupational Control Procedures recommended in this
-.'- document. To avoid misunderstanding, the data provided in this section should be interpreted by individuals
trained in evaluation of this type of information.
Human Experience
Dermal contact and inhalation are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to Roundup
herbicide. Direct contact with this material may cause temporary eye irritation and conjunctivitis. Prolonged
contact with Roundup herbicide may cause dermal irritation. Ingestion of Roundup herbicide has been
reported to produce gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Toxicological Data
Data from Monsanto studies indicate the following:
Oral LD50 (Rat): 5,400 mg/kg, Practically Nontoxic
Dermal LD$0 (Rabbit): ~5,000 mg/kg, Practically Nontoxic
Eye Irritation (Rabbit, 24-hr): (FHSA) Score = 4.1 on a scale of 110.0, Slightly Irritating
Skin Irritation (Rabbit, 24-hr): (FHSA) Score = 4.3 on a scale of 8.0, Moderately Irritating
DOT Skin Irritation (Rabbit, 4-hr): Not Corrosive
Inhalation LCso (Rat, 4-hr): 3.18 m9/I (analytical concentration), Slightly Toxic
Patch testing of 50 human volunteers with Roundup herbicide at use concentration and 5X use
concentration produced no positive reactions following initial application, any of 15 repeated applications in
the induction phase, or on subsequent challenge 2 weeks later. Roundup herbicide is not considered a
primary irritant or a sensitizing agent.
Patch testing of guinea pigs with Roundup herbicide produced essentially no irritation following initial
application; mild to moderate erythema (redness), edema (swelling) and/or mild necrosis (tissue damage)
were observed in some animals during subsequent repeated exposures in the induction phase. On
· challenge, no dermal response was observed in any of the animals. Roundup herbicide is not considered a
dermal sensitizing agent in guinea pigs.
(Health Effects Summary Continued On Next Page)
Monsanto MATERI SAFETY DATA Page 4 of 6
HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY (Continued)
Single male and female dogs were orally administered Roundup herbicide or a 2 percent aqueous solution
of Roundup herbicide at dosages ranging from 0.3125 to 5.0 mi/kg. No mortality and no inhibition of plasma
acetylcholinesterase activity were reported. The most common effects observed were vomiting and
diarrhea, which occurred shortly after dosing.
A series of 21-day dermal toxicity studies have been conducted in which Roundup herbicide was applied to
the skin of male rabbits 6 hours per day, 5 days per week at various concentrations. At 5 times the
intended use concentration, severe dermal irritation and systemic toxicity (mortality, reduced food
consumption, body weight loss, and testicular effects) were observed. Rabbits treated with 3 times the
intended use concentration and below, or only with the active ingredient glyphosate, exhibited only slight to
moderate local irritation and had no signs of systemic effects. When the surfactant in Roundup formulation
was tested, marked irritation and systemic effects were observed which were similar to those seen with the
higher concentration of Roundup. Effects observed in these studies are considered to be a secondary
response to the stress of severe dermal irritation, to which rabbits are particularly sensitive, rather than the
result of direct systemic toxicity.
Rats were exposed by inhalation to aerosol concentrations of 0.05, 0.16 and 0.36 mg of a 33.3% Roundup
solution per liter air 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for a total of 22 exposures over a 4 week period. Minor nasal
irritation was observed in female animals. No adverse hematologic, biochemical or systemic histopathologic
effects were noted. The systemic no-effect level was considered to be 0.36 mg of a 33.3% Roundup
solution per liter of air.
Following a 24-hr topical application of Roundup herbicide to the abdomen of rhesus monkeys,
approximately 1.8 percent of the administered dose of the active ingredient (glyphosate) was systemically
absorbed. Excretion in the urine was the major route of elimination following systemic absorption.
Components
Data from Monsanto studies and from the scientific literature on the components of Roundup herbicide
is discussed below:
Isopropylamine Salt of Glyphosate (MON 0139)
The isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (MON 0139) has been tested in acute and subchronic toxicity
studies. For additional toxicity information on this material, please refer to the MON 0139 Material
Safety Data Sheet.
