Violich- Review and Concurrence: Susan Naughton~-,mx ~'Bechtel Environmental, In~ 2.2 Site Description Pacific Wood Preservers is located in an industrial area approximately 3,000 feet northwest of the intersection of Stine Road and Pacheco Road in southern Bakersfield (2,3). The site occupies two parcels, parcel numbers 384-350-02-00-? and 384-350-03-00-0, owned by Pacific Wood Preservers Corporation and Pacific Wood Preservers, Incorporated, respectively (4). The 10.1- acre site is bordered on the west by Riverwood International, a packaging materials facility, on the east by an ink manufacturing facility operated by Sun Chemical Company, on the north by District Boulevard and the Stockdale Business Office Park, and on the south by Southern Pacific railroad tracks and undeveloped land. The site is completely paved except for the untreated wood storage area in the northwest corner and along south and west boundaries of the site. The paved areas, darkened with residue from treated wood and machinery, are graded to one of the two containment areas to prevent runoff from contaminating the surrounding area. A railroad, used for the delivery of treated and untreated wood, enters the site from the Southern Pacific railroad tracks on the south side of the property. One well, operated by the city of Bakersfield, is located along the northern' boundary of the site and was in place when the land was purchased in 1979. The nearest residence is a little more than 0.25 mile away. (2) As shown in Figure 2-2, the site consists of the chromated copper arsenate (CCA) plant, the creosote plant, and the untreated and treated wood storage areas. The CCA plant, in the northern area of the site, includes the CCA cylinder and containment unit, a drip pad, the CCA tank farm, an office, and an incisor. The CCA cylinder, which is 125 feet long and 7 feet in diameter, is completely surrounded by a concrete containment unit designed to provide secondary containment for the cylinder and to act as a recovery sump for residue accumulated on the drip pad. The containment unit holds 1.5 times the volume of the cylinder. A bermed concrete drip pad completely encloses the cylinder and containment unit and is graded to drain into the containment unit. The CCA tank farm is comprised of four 36,000-gallon and two 19,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks, and is enclosed by a concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for the collection of spills, rainwater runoff, and wastewater. The containment area is designed to hold 1.5 times the volume of the largest tank. An incisor machine, which perforates untreated wood to facilitate the absorption of the preservative, and the main office building make up the remainder of the CCA plant. (2,5) The creosote plant is located in the sOuthern part of the site. The creosote plant consists of the creosote cylinder and containment unit, a drip pad, the creosote tank farm, a hazardous waste storage area, an office, an incisor, a stacker, and a boring machine. The creosote cylinder and containment unit are of the same design, construction and size as the CCA unit. A bermed concrete drip pad encloses the creosote cylinder and containment unit and is bermed and graded to drain into the containment unit. The creosote tank farm is comprised of three 36,000-gallon and three 19,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks and is enclosed by a concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for the collection of spills, rainwater runoff, and wastewater. The containment area is designed to hold 1.5 times the volume of the largest tank. A hazardous waste storage area is located in the southwest corner of the site, adjacent to the creosote tank farm. The 12-foot-square concrete area is fenced on three sides and contains an aboveground diesel fuel tank and drums of hazardous waste. The stacker automatically cuts and stacks the treated wood to the desired specifications, and the boring machine drills the holes used to secure railroad ties. An incisor and an office building with a boiler room make up the remainder of the creosote plant. (2,5) PA Pacific Wood Preservers-P (F) * 12/92 3 Printed on 50% recycled paper.

The treated wood storage areas, adjacent to the treatment plants, are completely paved and graded' to the drip pads. Untreated wood storage is in the unpaved area in the northwest corner of the site. (2) 2.3 Operational History In 1979, Pacific Wood Preservers built a wood-treating facility on undeveloped agricultural land. The CCA plant was the first treatment unit to be built at the site. In 1985, the creosote plant was built at the unused southern portion of the site. The operational practices and machinery have not changed significantly since 1985. (2) Pacific Wood Preservers chemically treats wood products to be used as railroad ties, telephone poles, and building lumber. The raw wood product is pressure-treated with creosote or CCA to protect it against insect damage, rot, and other degradation. (5) --4-- The processes for CCA and creosote treatment are similar. A charge of raw, untreated wood is loaded into a treatment cylinder and flooded with the treating compound. Once the wood is completely submerged, the hydraulic pressure inside the cylinder is increased to facilitate the saturation of the wood. After a specified amount of time, the treatment fluid is pumped back into a holding tank for future use. The treated wood is then removed from the cylinder and stored, until dry, on a concrete drip pad. The wood may be incised prior to ueatment to facilitate the penetration of the preservative. (5,6) The CCA treatment process occurs at high pressures and ambient temperatures. A 50 percent CCA solution is delivered to the facility by tanker truck and is later diluted with water to a working concentration of 0.08 to 1.6 percent CCA. The creosote treatment process occurs at high pressures and high temperatures. A boiler unit is used to achieve a treating temperature of approximately 180°F. The creosote is delivered to the facility by railcar and diluted with fuel oil to a working concentration of 70 percent oil and 30 percent creosote. (5,6) Sludge, characterized as wood pulp and dirt contaminated with creosote and CCA, and used filters generated by the treating process are collected in drums and stored in a hazardous waste storage area. The area is paved but not ben'ned, and fenced on three sides. PFS Waste Control Services, a hazardous waste hauler, collects the drums within the 90-day accumulation period and disposes them at Chemical Waste Management in Kettleman City, California. (2) In July 1987, a CCA storage tank ruptured, allowing 4,000 gallons of a 0.87-percent solution to escape. Approximately 95 percent of the spilled liquid was captured in the containment unit enclosing the tank. The remaining 5 percent hit the ground and migrated into the soil. The .City of Bakersfield Fire Department and the Kern County Environmental Health Department were notified of the incident. The contaminated soil was excavated by Pacific Wood Preservers and transported in drums to the Casmalia Resources Hazardous Waste Landfill by M.P. Vacuum Service. Soil samples from the contaminated area were collected before and after the excavation, and the results indicated that soils were remediated to levels considered, acceptable to the Kern County Environmental Health Department, the agency monitoring the remediation. However, no sampling records indicating the cleanup levels after remediation were found in Kern County Environmental Health Department's fries. (2,7) PA Pacific Wood Preservers-P (F) · 12/92 5 F¥inted on 50~ recycled paper. 2.4 Regulatory Involvement 2.4.1 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Pacific Wood Preservers is listed in the 1980' Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) database as a large-quantity generator of hazardous materials (8). Pacific Wood Preservers has fried a Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity to comply with Section 3010 of the RCRA (9). 2.4.2 San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (APCD). The APCD has worked closely with Pacific Wood Preservers since 1979 to ensure that air quality regulations requirements are followed (5). Pacific Wood Preservers holds several District Air Quality permits issued by the APCD. No violations of these permits are on record (10,11). No ambient air monitoring for toxics has been conducted in the vicinity Of the site (11). 2.4.3 City of Bakersfield Fire Department (BFD). An unauthorized release of CCA at the site was reported to the City of Bakersfield Fire DePartment in July 1987. The fire department and the Kern County Environmental Health Department were notified by Pacific Wood Preservers of the incident. For details concerning the response to the incident, see Section 2.3. No fkes have been reported to the fire department (5) The BFD makes annual fire safety inspections of the site (6). 2.4.4 Kern County Environmental Health Department. The Environmental Health Department has limited information on the site. In 1987, the Environmental Health Department monitored the cleanup of the CCA spill, which was performed by Pacific Wood Preservers. Sampling of the soil before and after the remediation took place was performed, but no records of the sampling event were found in the Environmental Health Department's files. (5) The Environmental Health Department participated in a joint inspection of the site with the APCD on March 31, 1992, .and found no violations of their hazardous waste storage laws. (12) 2.4.5 California Environmental Protection -Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). In 1983, the site was identified by the California Department of Health Services as a site requiring inspection and possible permitting for hazardous materials use (5). Pacific Wood Preservers holds an Extremely Hazardous Waste Permit issued by the California Department of Health Services (13). The DTSC has a limited amount of information about the site. The DTSC .inspected the site in August 1991 for possible violations of hazardous waste storage regulation requirements. No violations were observed. The waste on site was characterized .as wood pulp and din contaminated with creosote and CCA. (14) 2.4.6 Other Agency Involvement. Pacific Wood Preservers holds a Restricted Materials Permit issued by the Kern County Department of Agriculture, and a Qualified Applicator Certificate issued by the State of California Department of Food and Agriculture (15,16). The Regional Water Quality Control Board has no fries on the site (17). 3.0 HAZARD RANKING SYSTEM FACTORS 3.1 Sources of Contamination Pacific Wood Preservers has four potential sources of contamination: PA Pacific Wood PreServem-P (F-) · 12/92 6 Printed on 50% recycled paper. · Sludge and used f'dtets generated by the treating process, which are stored in 55-gallon drums. · Potentially contaminated exposed soil in the northeast comer of the property, and along the western and southern boundaries of the site. · The CCA containment unit, which collects and temporarily stores the residue from the treating and drying process. · The creosote containment unit, which collects the residue from the treating and drying process. ( The CCA and creosote used in the treating process is pumped out of the cylinders, through a series of filters, and back into storage tanks for future use. The f'tlters, which are changed approximately every 2 weeks, are stored as hazardous waste in 55-gallon drams. The CCA and creosote concrete containment units are designed to provide secondary containment for the cylinder and to act as a recovery sump for residue accumulated on the drip pad. Excess preservative, generated by the treating and drying .process is collected in the 267.1 cubic-yard containment units and temporarily stored until it is collected and stored in 55-gallon drams. The facility generates approximately 10 drams of hazardous waste each calendar year. The waste is solidified in the drams with a gypsum-typo material prior to removal by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. The waste is made up of the following substances: creosote, chromic acid, cupric oxide, arsenic pentoxide, and waste oil. (2,5,12) 3.2 Groundwater Pathway 3.2.1 Hydrogeological Setting. Bakersfield is situated in the east-central area of southern San Joaquin Valley in Kern County, an area of geologic folding and minor faulting. The lithologic sequence found in the vicinity of the site is, from the surface down: alluvium, Kern River formation, Etchegion formation, Chanac formation, Santa Margarita formation, and older formations. Alluvial soils and riverwash deposits are the only materials exposed on the surface in the Bakersfield area, and they have been described as moderately permeable soils and permeable soils, respectively. The alluvial deposits underlying the soils are pan of the Kern River fan, which consists of discontinuous, lenticular, and elongated bodies of gravel, silt, sand, and clay. These bodies contain fresh groundwater, which is used to supply drinking water and irrigation water to the Bakersfield area. (18) The Kern River formation is of Plio-Pleistocene age and consists of lenticular sands, gravels, silts and clays that were deposited on alluvial fans at the western base of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The sediments are loosely consolidated and poorly bedded, and do not have high permeability because of an abundance of silt and clay. 'The Kern River Formation is approximately 3,000 feet thick in south-central San Joaquin Valley. (18) Well log sections, which indicate the nature of the sediments encountered during drilling, characterize the material as intermittent beds of sand, brown and blue clays, and sandy clays. There are between four and six Clay layers between the surface and the groundwater, all of which are greater than 5 feet thick. (19) The aquifers beneath the site are considered to be unconfined. The depth to the uppermost water- bearing stratum varies between 70 and 350 feet in the south-central San Joaquin Valley and is PA Pacific Wood Preservem-P (F) * 12/92 7 Printed on 5096 recycled paper. approximately 150 feet below the surface at the site. Movement of groundwater beneath the site is 'predominantly to the southeast. (20) 3.2.2 Groundwater Targets, Currently, the Bakersfield area has two municipal water systems. California Water Service operates a blended drinking water system with 57,000 connections. Approximately 75 percent of the water is supplied by 150 groundwater wells and the remaining 25 percent is supplied by surface water. The nearest California Water Services well is 0.6 mile from the site. Bakersfield obtains all of its drinking water from 30 groundwater wells. This blended drinking water system has approximately 18,000 connections, and the nearest well is located onsite. Currently, Bakersfield's well system is operated by the California Water Service. (21,22,23) Sampling results from California Water Service and Bakersfield wells within 4 miles of the site indicate that there is no groundwater contamination (24). Several private wells are within 4 miles of the site: De Rancho y Villa has two groundwater wells, approximately 1.5 miles from the site that supply drinking water to approximately 90 mobile homes (3,25); VR's Trailer Park has one groundwater well 3.5 miles from the site that supplies drinking water to 25 mobile homes, a private residence, and an apartment (3,26). The Greenfield Central Water District operates four wells that supply drinking water to 994 connections. However, only one of Greenfield Central Water District's wells is within 4 miles of the site (3,27). The Casa Loma Water Company has two wells 4 miles from the site that supply drinking water to 212 connections (3,28). 3.2.3 Groundwater Pathway Conclusion, There is a potential for release of hazardous substances from the site (2). However, the likelihood that contaminants will migrate to the potable aquifer is low due to the presence of impermeable clay layers found between the surface and the aquifer, and a depth to groundwater of approximately 150 feet (18,19). In addition, the municipal wells in the area have been tested for contaminants and none have been found (24). 3.3 Surface Water Pathway The nearest surface water is the Kern Island Canal, approximately 2.3 miles east of the site (3). The canal is used for irrigation purposes only. Surface water runoff from Pacific Wood Preservers percolates into the ground during normal rainfall. During floods, however, the runoff drains into a small drainage ditch 0.5 mile west of the site. The drainage ditch flows into the Stine Canal, which flows south. Although the Stine Canal has been dry for the last 2 years, water from the canal has been used for irrigation purposes. Given the distance to the nearest surface water body, site-related contaminants pose little threat to surface water. (29) 3.4 Soil Exposure and Air Pathway The potential for onsite exposure or a release to air appears to be low for a number of reasons: The site is Completely fenced and inaccessible to the public; there are 12 full-time employees on site; no residences, schools, or daycare centers are within 200 feet of the site; most of the site is paved; hazardous waste sources are limited to wastes stored in concrete containment units and sealed hazardous waste storage drums, and to a relatively small amount of potentially contaminated soil. The nearest residence is more than 0.25 mile away, but less than 0.5 mile away from the site (2). No sensitive environments are on or within 200 feet of the site, but the Kern Shoulderbrand and PA Pacific Wood Presewem-P (F) · 12/92 8 Printed on 50% recyc~d paper. the Great Valley Cottonwood'Riparian Forest are within 4 miles of the site 00). There are 12,067 people within 1 mile of the site (31). Although there has been no ambient air testing done in the vicinity of the site, Pacific Wood Preservers holds a District Air Permit issued by the APCD and has no current violations (11). 4.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE CONSIDERATIONS The National Contingency Plan [40 CFR 300.415 (b) (2)] authorizes the EPA to consider emergency response actions at those sites that pose an imminent threat to human health or to the environment. For the following reasons, a referral to Region IX's Emergency Response Section does not appear to be necessary: · All hazardous waste sources are enclosed by an 8-foot, chain-link fence and are inaccessible to the public. · The likelihood that contaminants will migrate to the potable aquifer is extremely low due to the presence of impermeable clay layers found between the surface and the aquifer, and a depth to groundwater of approximately 150 feet. · Sampling results of the onsite municipal well indicate that the groundwater is not contaminated. 5.0 SUMMARY The Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield site is located at 5601 District Boulevard in Bakersfield, Kern County, California. The 10.1-acre site consists of the chromated copper arsenate (CCA) plant, the creosote plant, and the untreated and treated wood storage areas. An 8-fo0t chain-link fence with locking gates completely encloses the site. The site is paved except for the untreated wood storage area in the northeast corner of the property, and along the southern and western boundaries of the site. In 1979, Pacific Wood Preservers built the wood-treating facility on undeveloped agricultural land. The CCA plant was the fa'st treatment unit to be built at the facility. In 1985, the creosote plant was built in the unused southem area of the facility. The operational practices and machinery at the site have not changed significantly since 1985. Pacific Wood Preservers chemically treats wood products to be used for railroad ties, telephone poles, and building lumber. The raw wood product is pressure-treated with creosote or CCA to protect it against insect damage, rot, and other degradation. Hazardous wastes generated by the treating process are stored in 55-gallon drums in a designated hazardous waste storage area. Hazardous wastes generated on site include the filters used in preservative recycling processes and the sludge collected from the containment units. Approximately ten 55-gallon drums of waste are generated each year. PFS Waste Control Services, a hazardous waste hauler, collects the drums within the 90-day accumulation period and disposes them at Chemical Waste Management in Kettleman City, California. The San Joaqum Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has worked closely with Pacific Wood Preservers since 1979 to see that air quality regulations are followed. Pacific Wood Preservers holds several District Air Quality permits issued by the APCD without any violations. In July 1987, an unauthorized release of CCA at the site was reported to the City of Bakersfield PA Pacific Wood Preservem-P (F) * 12/92 9 PHnted on 50% recycled paper. Fire Department and the Kern County Environmental Health Department by Pacific Wood Preservers, and both agencies responded to the incident. The Environmental Health Department monitored the cleanup of the CCA spill, and collected soil samples before and after remediation took place. The Bakersfield area has two municipal water systems. The California Water Service operates a blended drinking water system with 57,000 connections. Approximately 75 percent of the water is supplied by 150 groundwater wells, the nearest being 0.6 mile from the 'site. The city of Bakersfield's drinking water system obtains all of its drinking water from 30 groundwater wells. This blended drinking water system has approximately 18,000 connections, and the nearest well is on site. The watertable begins at approximately 150 feet below ground surface. There are 53 municipal groundwater wells that serve approximately 60,000 people within 4 miles of the site. The nearest surface water is the Kern Island Canal, approximately 2.3 miles east of the site. The canal is used for irrigation purposes only. Given the distance to the nearest surface water body, site related contaminants pose little threat to surface water. The potenu:~A for onsite exposure or a release to air appears to be low for a number of reasons: The site '::~ compl6tely fenced and inaccessible to the public; there are 12 full-time employees on site; no residences, schools, or daycare centers are within 200 feet of the site; the nearest residence is more than 0.25 mile away and less than 0.5 mile away from the site; there are 12,067 people within 1 mile of the site; no sensitive environments are on or within 200 feet of the site; most of the site is paved; hazardous ' waste sources are limited to wastes stored in concrete containment units and sealed hazardous waste storage drums, and to a relatively small amount of potentially contaminated soil. Although no ambient air testing has been done in the vicinity of the site, Pacific Wood Preservers holds a District Air Permit issued by the APCD and has no current violations. The significant Hazardous Ranking System factors associated with the site are: · The watertable beneath the site occurs at a depth of approximately 150 feet. · The soils beneath the site include clay layers greater than 5 feet thick. · Sampling results of the onsite municipal well indicate that the groundwater is not contaminated. · No surface water bodies are within 2 miles of the site. · The site is completely fenced and access is restricted. · Most of the site is paved and the nearest residence is more than 0.25 mile from the site. No daycare centers or schools are within 200 feet of the site.

Mr. Kovac infom,,exl me that the geology in the Bakersfield area is not uniform and is cut by numerous faults. The depth to groundwater is known to vary from 70 to 350 feet, and the aquifers are difficult to characterize. Mr. Kovac indicated that there are at least two types of clay layers found in aquifers near the site: a perched layer, which is characterized by local clay layers acting as impermeable horizons; and a sponge layer, which has local clay layers absorbing contaminants and expanding like a sponge.

SITE: Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield EPA ID: CAT000611145 A site reconnaissance was conducted at the Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield (Pacific Wood Preservers) site on October 28, 1992. The weather was overcast and the temperature was approximately 75°F. The Bechtel team, Adam Violich and Virginia Demetrios, conducted the site reconnaissance with Stephen Ryan and Donald Baize at the Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield Corporation facility to gather information on the site location and size, history, processes used and any hazardous waste generated, treated, stored or disposed of on site. The Bechtel team was provided with a packet of information prepared in response to Bechtel's letter dated October 19, 1992. The reconnaissance included a site tour during which photographs were tal~n. The following information was obtained during the site reconnaissance: The Pacific Wood Preservers site is lOcated at 5601 District Boulevard in Bakersfield, Kern County, California. The site is comprised of two office buildings, two incisors, untreated and treated wood storage areas, and creosote and chromated-copper-arsenate (CCA) treatment units. The 10.1 acre site is bordered on the west by Riverwood International, a packaging materials facility, on the east by an ink manufacturing facility operated by Sun Chemical Company, on the north by District Boulevard and the Stockdale Business Office Park, and on the south by Southem Pacific railroad tracks and undeveloped land. The surrounding area is industrial and the nearest resident is a little more than 0.25 mile away. In October 1979, Pacific Wood Preservers began operating a wood treating facility on two parcels of previously undeveloped land. The facility was made up of one incisor, the CCA ~xeatment unit, and an office. The remainder of the land was used for treated and untreated wood storage. In 1985, the operation was expanded to include another incisor, a creosote treatment unit, and another office. The operational practices and machinery have not changed significantly since 1985. Pacific Wood Preservers produces chemically treated wood products for use as railroad ties, telephone poles, posts, and building lumber. Wood products are pressure treated with creosote or CCA to protect the wood against insect damage, rot and other degradation. The site is completely fenced PA Pacific Wood Preaervem. P (F) * 12/92 E- 1 Printed on 50~ recycled pap~. ~ SITE RECONNAISSANCE INTERVIEW AND OBSERVATIONS REPORT (Cont'd) Site: Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield i with a locking gate and there are 12 full-time employees. '.Fne working hours are currently 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., five days a week. There are no schools or daycare centers within 200 feet of thb site. The site is divided into two sections, the CCA plant and the creosote plant. The CCA plant, located in the northern part of the site, is made up of the CCA cylinder and containment unit, drip pad, CCA tank farm, office, and incisor. The CCA cylinder, which is 125 feet long and 7 feet in diameter, is used to pressure treat up to 25,000 board-leer of wood at a time. A working concentration of 0.08 to 1.6 percent CCA concentrate and water is used for the treatment. The aboveground cylinder is completely surrounded by a cot, crete containment unit designed to provide secondary containment for the cylinder and to act as a recovery sump for residue accumulated on the drip pad. The containment unit, which holds 1.5 times the volume of the cylinder, recycles all residual CCA by pumping it through a series of filters and into a holding tank. A bermed concrete drip pad completely encloses the c,.~linder and is graded to drain into the containment unit. Treated wood is stored, until dry, on the drip pad before being moved to a storage area. The pad was refmished and sealed in February :".992. The CCA tank farm is comprised of four 36,000-gallon and two 19,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks and is enclosed by a concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for the collection of spills, rainwater runoff, and wastewater. The containment area is designed to hold 1.5 times the volume of the largest tank. To the west of the CCA tank farm is an incisor. Untreated wood is put through an incisor, a machine that punctures the wood, in order to facilitate the absorption of the preservant. To the west of the incisor is an unpaved storage area for raw (chemically untreated) wood. The main office building for the facility is located in the northeast comer of the property and houses offices and computer controls for the CCA treatment process. The creosote plant is similar to the CCA plant. The creosote cylinder and containment unit are of the same design, construction and size as the CCA units. However, the creosote cylinder is designed to treat wood at high pressures and temperatures, whereas the CCA cylinder treats wood at high pressures and ambient temperatures. There is a concrete pad, which encloses the creosote cylinder and containment unit, that is bermed and graded to the containment umt. The area, which is not referred to as a "drip" pad because the creosote treated wood is dry when it comes out of the cylinder, is used for the temporary storage of creosote treated wood. Similar to the CCA tank farm, the creosote tank farm is comprised of three 36,000-gallon and three 19,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks and is enclosed by a concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for the collection of spills, rainwater runoff, and wastewater. To the south of the creosote cylinder is a small office building that contains an office, a lunch room, and computer controls for the creosote treatment process. Adjacent to the office is a small boiler room that supplies the heat necessary for the creosote treatment. Sucker and boring machines are located to the north of the creosote tank farm. The sucker automatically cuts and sucks the treated wood to the desired specifications, and the boring machine drills the holes used to secure railroad ties. Another incisor is located to the north of the boring machine. A maintenance building that stores tools, machine and auto oil, and spare parts is located in the middle of the site. 'A hazardous waste storage area is located in the southwest comer of the site, adjacent to the creosote tank farm. The 12-foot-square concrete area is fenced on three sides and PA Pacific Wood Preservem-P (F) * 12/92 SITE RECONNAISSANCE INTERVIEW AND OBSERVATIONS REPORT (Cont'd) Site: Pacific Wood Preservers of Bakersfield contains an aboveground diesel fuel tank, four 55-gallon drums of waste and three empty drums. According to Mr. Baize, the Pacific Wood Preservers usually produces i0 drums of waste material each calender year. The waste is comprised of sludge removed from the containment units and the fftters used in the recycling process. According to Mr. Baize, the fftters are changed approximately every two weeks. All dnuns containing hazardous waste were sealed and labelled. Pacific Wood Preservers' hazardous waste hauler, PFS Waste Control Services, collects the drums · within the 90-day accumulation period and disposes them at Chemical Waste Management in Kettleman City, California. The site is completely paved except for the untreated wood storage area in the northwest comer and along south and west boundaries of the site. The paved areas, darkened with residue from treated wood and machinery, are graded to one of the two containment areas to prevent runoff from contaminating the surrounding area. A railroad, used for the delivery of treated and untreated wood, enters the site from the Southern Pacific raikoad u'acks on the south side of the property. A municipal well was observed onsite. The well, operated by the City of Bakersfield, is located along the northern boundary of the site and was in place when the land was purchased in 1979. According to Mr. Ryan, approximately 85' percent of the operation is devoted to pressure treating building lumber with CCA. The chemicals are delivered by tanker truck in a 50 percent concentration. The chemicals are then later diluted to a more suitable concentration in one of the 36,000-gallon mixing tanks in the tank farms. Pacific Wood Preservers holds Air Quality, Hazardous Waste Activity, Qualified Applicator, Restricted Materials, and Hazardous Waste permits, and a business license. There were complaints about the odor from the creosote cylinder so Pacific Wood Preservers installed a vacuum above the creosote cylinder door to collect the odors. In July 1987, a spill occurred on site. According to Mr. Baize, a pressure valve on a CCA tank failed; rupturing the tank at the roof level. Approximately 95 percent of the spill was captured in the containment area enclosing the tank farm but a small portion did hit the ground and migrated into the soft. The contaminated area was excavated and samples were taken to insure that the area was cleaned up. Redesigned valves have been installed to prevent fianher failures.

Suite 300 DIRECTOR Bakersfield, CA 93301 DATE: 9 - 7 - 9 5 (805) 861-3636 ' ~._~.,~I'T,~/ (805) 861-3429 FAX NARRATION BY: Dan Starkey LOCATION: 5601 District BlVd. Bakersfield, CA CONTACTS: Don Danka Plant Manager Don Baize Health & Safety Narration: I arrived at the facility at 1:15 p.m. and met with Baize. He explained the processes at the plant and answered my questions regarding the types of waste that they produce. I informed him of the allegations in the complaint and then we inspected the facility. The treatment facilities where hazardous materials are used consists of two different locations with aboveground tank batteries, drainage pads, and pits. The drainage pad for the CCA process has a resin coating. The pit is unlined concrete. The creosote pad is not coated and the pit at that location is unlined concrete as well. The roads in the facility are dirt. The lumber is loaded onto a tracked system and pushed into the pressure vessels. After the lumber is treated it is placed onto the drainage pads until it is dry. The excess liquid runs off the drainage pads into the two pits. The first location we inspected was the CCA pressure treatment area. The pit below the pressure vessel had:~ sludge in about half of the area. They were in the process of removing the waste. There was one full 55-gallon drum full of sludge with out a lid sitting in the pit. The second location was the creosote treatment area; This area had liquid in the pit and spillage on the drainage pad. The third area was the drum storage area in the southwest corner of the property. There were 8 to 10, unlabeled 55-gallon drums full of sludge from the CCA and creosote processes. Two had lids that were not attached. There were also 8 to 10 empty drums in this area that had been at the facility for years. The storage area was not designated with signs as a hazardous waste storage area. Before leaving I informed them of the violations and we discussed the problem of having a wet sludge. Baize stated that the waste must be dry before it can be picked up, that's the reason why the lids were off the drums in the storage area. I informed that the lids had to be on the drums or it was a violation. I also informed them that by drying the waste that might put them into the Tiered (UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 1997..

As necessary to comply with 29 CFR 1910.133 and work area conditions: use side shields, goggles or face shield. Chemical goggles; face shield (if splashing is possible). SKIN PROTECTION: As required, industrial resistant flexible-type gloves. Depending on working conditions, i.e., contact potential, wear impervious protective garments such as head/neck cover, aprons, jackets, pants, coveralls, boots, etc. See Section XII - Comments for additional information on skin protection recommendations. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Not required under normal use conditions. If ventilation does not maintain inhalation exposures below TLV(PEL), use MSHA/NIOSH approved units as per current 29 CFR1910.134 and manufacturers' "Instructions" and "Warnings". Combination filter/organic vapor cartridges or canister may be used. VENTILATION: Provide sufficient general/local exhaust ventilation in pattern/volume to control inhalation exposures below current exposure limits and areas below flammable vapor concentrations. Local exhaust is necessary for use in enclosed or confined spaces. See OSHA Requirement/NIOSH Pub. 80-106 "Working in a Confined Space". SECTION IX - PERSONAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS HANDLING: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors, mists or fumes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or eyes. Observe good personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures. Application of certain protective creams (sun screens for coal tar products) before working/several times during work may be beneficial. STORAGE: Keep in a closed, labeled container within a cool (well shaded), dry -ventilated area. Protect from physical damage. Keep containers closed when material is not in use. Maintain good housekeeping. OTHER: Not for use or storage in or around the home. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Do not use until manufacturer's precautions have been read/understood.

The IARC monographs (Vol. 35) states that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of creosote in experimental animals. The NTP 3rd Annual Report on Carcinogens states that creosote oils are carcinogenic in experimental animals. Creosote does not appear in the OSHA Subpart Z table. The application of a commercially available sun-blocking lotion is recommended to greatly reduce the phototoxicity of coal tar associated sun burning. The lotion should be applied prior to the application of the barrier cream and should have a sun protection factor (SPF) greater than 15. Application of barrier creams, i.e., Ply 9 Gel, Fend A-2 Cream, Kercdex 51 to prevent coal tar containing products from contacting skin before working/several times during work may be beneficial. EPA Reg. No. 61-94; 61-183; 61-184 No known ingredients which occur at greater than 0.1%, other than those listed above, are listed as a carcinogen in the IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans, the NTP Annual Report on Carcinogens or OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001-1047 subpart Z Toxic and Hazardous Substances (Specifically Regulated Substances). SKIN PROTECTION (protective material): Permeation/degradation values of chemical mixtures cannot be predicted from pure components or chemical classes. Thus, these materials are normally best estimates based on available pure component data. A significant difference in chemical breakthrough time has been reported for generically similar gloves, but different manufacturers (AIHA J., 48, 941-947 1987). Do not use until manufacturer's precautions have been read/understood. Wash exposed areas promptly and thoroughly after skin contact and before eating, drinking, using tobacco products or rest rooms.

As necessary to comply with 29 CFR 1910.133 and work area conditions: use side shields, goggles or face shield. Chemical goggles; face shield (if splashing is possible). SKIN PROTECTION: As required, industrial resistant flexible-type gloves. Depending on working conditions, i.e., contact potential, wear impervious protective garments such as head/neck cover, aprons, jackets, pants, coveralls, boots, etc. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Not required under normal use conditions. If ventilation does not maintain inhalation exposures below TLV(PEL), use MSHA/NIOSH approved units as per current 29 CFR1910.134 and manufacturers' "Instructions" and "Warnings". Combination filter/organic vapor cartridges or canister may be used. VENTILATION: Provide sufficient general/local exhaust ventilation in pattern/volume to control inhalation exposures below current exposure limits and areas below flammable vapor concentrations. Local exhaust is necessary for use in enclosed or confined spaces. See OSHA Requirement/NIOSH Pub. 80-106 "Working in a Confined Space". SECTION IX - PERSONAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS HANDLING: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors, mists or fumes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or ~yes. Observe good personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures. Application of certain protective creams (sun screens for coal tar products) before working/several times during work may be beneficial. STORAGE: Keep in a closed, labeled container within a cool (well shaded), dry -ventilated area. Protect from physical damage. Keep containers closed when material is not in use. Maintain good housekeeping. OTHER: Not for use or storage in or around the home. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Do not use u~til manufacturer's precautions have been read/understood. Wash exposed areas promptly and thoroughly after skin contact and before eating, drinking, using tobacco products or rest rooms.

The IARC monographs (Volume 35) states that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of creosote in experimental animals. The NTP 3rd Annual Report on Carcinogens states that creosote oils are carcinogenic in experimental animals. Creosote does not appear in the OSHA Subpart Z table. The application of a commercially available sun-blocking lotion is recommended to greatly reduce the phototoxicity of coal tar associated sun .burning. The lotion should be applied prior to the application of the barrier cream and should have a sun protection factor (SPF) greater than 15. Application of barrier creams, i.e., Ply 9 Gel, Fend A-2 Cream, Kerodex to prevent coal tar containing products from contacting skin before working/several times during work may be beneficial. No known ingredients which occur at greater than 0.1%, other than those listed above, are listed as a carcinogen in the IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans, the NTP Annual Report on Carcinogens or OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001-1047 subpart Z Toxic and Hazardous Substances (Specifically Regulated Substances). SKIN. PROTECTION (protective material): Permeation/degradation values of chemical mixtures cannot De predicted from pure components or chemical classes. Thus, these materials are normally best estimates based on available pure component data. A significant difference in chemical breakthrough time has been reported for generically similar gloves, but different manufacturers (AIHA J., 48, 941-947 1987). Do not use until manufacturer's precautions have been read/understood. Wash exposed areas promptly and thoroughly after skin contact and before eating, drinking, using tobacco products or rest rooms. Do not wear contact lens without proper eye protection when using this product.
