FOR PACIFIC WOOD PRESERVING OF BAKERSFIELD 7501 DISTRICT BOULEVARD BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 1.0 INTRODUCTION Pacific Wood Preserving of Bakersfield (PWPB) is in the process of obtaining refinancing for its wood 'preserving facility located in Bakersfield, California. The lending institution has required that a Phase I environmental site assessment be completed to evaluate potential environmental liabilities associated with this site (cited below as Property). PWPB retained Ensco Environmental Services, Inc. (EES) to complete the assessment. The assessment included-a Physical Inspection of the Property (Section 3.0), a Review of HiStorical Property Uses and Historical Aerial Photographs (Section 4.0), and an Agency File Review (Section 5.0). ° Information from each of these activities was used as a basis for making Conclusions and Recommendations (Section 6.0). Limitations are presented in Section 7.0. A General Vicinity Site Map and Facility Description Map are attached. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The Property is located on approximately 10 acres of land at 5601 District Boulevard in Bakersfield, California. Adjacent sites include an ink manufacturing facility operated by Sun _ Chemical Company and a warehouse unit operated by Manville Corporation. Stockdale Business _ Office Park is located directly north of the Property along District Boulevard. Undeveloped land borders the Property to the south. Other industrial sites located along District Boulevard within one quarter mile of the Property include Petrolite Corporation and Channel Exploration (Figure 1). Pacific Wood Preserving of .l~rsfield March 30, 1989 Project No. 7502 Page 2 pWPB produces chemically treated wood products for use as railroad ties, telephone poles, posts, and building lumber. Wood products are pressure treated with creosote or copper-chromium- arsenic (CCA) compound to protect the wood figainst insect damage, rot and other degradation. CCA compound is pumped directly to the facility by tanker trucks. This material is stored in an above ground tank farm on the north side of the Property. The tank farm is enclosed by a sealed concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for collection of liquid spills, rainwater and runoff. Raw (chemically untreated) wood products are loaded into a large above ground cylinder which is pressurized and injected with CCA compound to achieve chemical treatment specifications. After treatment, wood products are removed from the cylinder and stored, until dry, on a large concrete pad that supports the cylinder and extends approximately 50 feet towards an asphalt paved internal roadway on the southern portion of the Property (Figure~ 2). According to Don Baize, Plant Superintendent of the facility, the concrete pad is engineered to allow excess liquid runoff to flow back into the containment area that encloses the tank farm and treatment cylinder. 'Creosote is delivered to the plant by rail tank car through an underground piping system on the .. southwest corner of the Property. The pipeline is double contained for product loss prevention. Creosote and fuel oil are stored in an above ground tank farm adjacent to another large cylinder which is used to produce wood products treated with these materials. Similar to the CCA facility on the Property, the creosote treatment facility is ,enclosed by a sealed concrete containment area equipped with a recovery sump for collection of liquid spills, runoff and wastewater which is recycled through the adjoining tank farm. Creosote treated products are stored, until dry, on an engineered concrete pad that extend east of the creosote treatment facility. Neither concrete pad used for storage of chemically u'eated products is equipped with a containment dike. However, each pad is surrounded by an asphalt paved surface. All finished product storage areas are asphalt paved. The only upaved surface on the Property is located on the northwest portion of the site where raw lumber cutting, sizing and storage is completed. No chemical treatment activities occur in this area. Sludge materials containing chemical residues are periodically removed from the containment area surrounding each treatment cylinder. These materials are stored in approved Department of .~. Pacific Wood Preserving of I~ersfield March 30, 1989 . Project No. 7502 Page 3 Transportation (DOT) 17H drums until a licensed hazardous waste hauler removes the containers for proper disposal. Less than 10 drums of waste material are generated each calendar quarter. 3.0 PHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY A site inspection was conducted on February 14, 1989 to examine the Property for evidence of improper use or storage of hazardous materials and other items of environmental concern. No evidence of underground storage tanks or former underground tank excavations was observed on the Property. No evidence of wastewater pits, treatment ponds or transformers containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was observed on the Property. According to Don Baize, no fires have occurred on the Property. Several cylinders of acetylene and oxygen were observed in the maintenance shed located between the CCA treatment facility and creosote treatment facility. The cylinders were properly labeled, chained onto welding carts and separated for storage. No evidence of problems concerning these cylinders was observed. Two 55 gallon drums of degreaser solvent were observed near the gas fin'ed boiler adjacent to the creosote treatment facility. The drums were located inside a concrete dike. No evidence of leaks or improper storage was observed, o Potential Problem Two cracked areas were found in the concrete pad that extends beyond the CCA treatment cylinder. These cracks should be repaired immediately to ensure that CCA compound does not contact the soil underneath the pad. Miscellaneous No other evidence of hazardoUs materials or potential environmental problems was observed on the Property. Pacific Wood Preserving !ersfield March 30, 1989 Project No. 7502 Page 4 4.0 HISTORICAL PROPERTY USES Kern County Assessors Office Title Search The Kern County Assessors Parcel Number for the Property is 384-350-03-00. Title to the Property is currently held by Pacific Wood Preserving of Bakersfield, Inc. following acquisition by Corporation Grand Deed in 1981 from Pacific Wood Preserving Corporation. Historical Aerial Photo~aphs Historical aerial photographs of the Property and surrounding area were reviewed at the City of Bakersfield Planning Department. In a 1985 photograph, the Property and surrounding area Was observed at the present level of ': development. The undeveloped land located south of the Property was prepared for agricultural planting. No evidence of spills Or hazardous materials dumping was on the Property or observed surrounding parcels. . In a 1980 photograph, the southern portion of the Property was not developed for industrial activity. The creosote treatment facility was not constructed and industrial activity was limited to the central and northern portions of the Property. Undeveloped land south of the Property was prepared for agTicultural use. No evidence of hazardous materials spills or dumping on the Property or adjacent sites was observed in the photog-raph. In a 1975 photograph, the Property and all nearby parcels were undeveloped except for the Petrolite Corporation site. Many of the undeveloped parcels were being prepared for agricultural use. No evidence of hazardous materials dumping on any sites was observed in the photograph. 5.0 AGENCY FILE REVIEW To identify potential exposure of the Property to hazardous materials incidents, EES reviewed public records available from various government agencies. Further, because subsurface contamination is capable of migrating in ~oundwater from nearby sites, local regulatory agencies ~ Pacific Wood Preserving o~l}kersfield March 30, 1989 Project No. 7502 Page 5 ~:. : were also contacted to determine if toxic exposure or fuel leaks have been recorded near the "'- Property. Results of the public records review are presented below: ~ ~ City of Bakersfield Fire Department i 1,'.~.-:, ? :,?.. An unauthorized release of CCA compound on the Property was reported to this agency in Jul3,, 1987. According to file documents, approximately 4,000 gallons of a 0.87% solution of the ~.__ compound were lost from the CCA treatment facility. Most of the material was contained by the i concrete pit surrounding the tank farm, however, some CCA compound escaped onto the ground. The fire department and Kern County Public Health Department were notified by PWPB and ?': responded.to the incident. Cleanup of the spill was monitored by the health department. PWPB ~-"-':' employees removed contaminated soil to drums which were sealed and transported by M.P. Vacuum Service for disposal to Casmalia Resources hazardous waste landfill facility. Soil samples i.~:~:- were collected for lab6ratory analyses from the impacted area. Results of the analyses indicated that ~'.-.~ the samples were clean. EES requested a copy of the analytical results from the county health -:..:: department. However, as of this date, a copy of the analytical data has not been received. " Ralph Huey, Hazardous Materials Coordinator for the f'u'e department, stated that the uppermost water bearing stratum under the area is approximately 200 feet deep. In our opinion, based upon available data, the CCA spill has not negatively impacted groundwater under the Property. -'~-- Kern County Public Health Department No reports of hazardous materials incidents on the Property other than the unauthorized release of CCA compound in July 1987 have been filed with this agency. A copy of the documents addressing the CCA incident is included as Attachment B. No incidents concerning sites adjacent to the Property have been fried with this agency. Pacific Wood Preserving of~ersfield March 30, 1989 :'- Project No. 7502 Page 6 State of California Department of Health Services (DHS), Toxic Substances C.ontrol Branch The Property was identified in 1983 by the DHS as a site requiring inspection and possible permitting for hazardous materials use. However, a review of DHS files found no record of any inspection or preliminary assessment report. No reports of hazardous materials incidents on the Property or on nearby sites have been Fried with this agency. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS '.AND RECOMMENDATIONS ~_. Based upon a review of available public records and historical aerial photographs, EES has :,__ concluded that the Property has not been subject to industrial development prior to construction of · the present wood preserving facility. No evidence of underground storage tanks, former underground tank excavations, pits, ponds, or PCB transformers was observed during a physical !..0 site walk of the Property conducted on February 14, 1989. However, normal business activity has generated small quantities of hazardous waste and contributed to the development of one potential environmental concern that was noted during the site walk. Based upon these conclusions, EES recommends the following action be completed on the Property located at 5601 District Boulevard in Bakersfield, California: Recommended Action Justification Repair all cracked areas of concrete pad surrounding Prevent possible contamination of soil =~- CCA treatment facility and tank farm. under this area by chemical drips and Pamfic Wood Preserv~n= o Project No. 7502 ~'~ kersfield March 30,Page19897 7 0 LIMITATIONS Environmental regulations on a local, state; and federal level, can vary significantly over time. similarly, Property conditions will inevitably change over time. Consequently, the conclusions and recommendations arrived at in the course of preparing the environmental assessment are strictly applicable to the status of environmental regulations and the Property conditions existing at the time EES performs the study. EES assumes that the data obtained and the inferences made in the course of the investigation are reasonably representative of the Property. EES makes no warranty, expressed or implied, except that our services have been performed in accordance with generally accepted existing environmental engineering, health and safety principles, and applicable regulations at the time and location of the proposed study. EES has · analyzed the available information using what we believe to be current applicable engineering techniques.

A description of all ~HM accidents within the last three years from the request date. On July 26, 1987, we had a CCA.tank rupture at the roof level on the west side of the tank. An air line had ruptured,' not allowing a four way valve to function. The valve remained in the pressure cycle, the vessel pressured up rather than go into a vacuum. When the fill cycle timed in, the valve to the tank opened, allowing pressure from the cyclinder to go back to the full tank. This sudden pressure ruptured the tank allowing CCA to escape. Approximately 95% of this spill was captured in the sealed pit below the cyclinder. A small portion did get on the ground. Action is being taken to insure this could not happen again. The valve action will be changed to a fail safe position and the valve will go open in the event of air loss. Help was called in and clean-up operation was started immediately. The National Response Center, Ens. Robert Peng(report #9325), was called immediately. The City Fire Department, City Police and the County Health Inspectore were on the sight and aware of the spill. NOTE: No one was injured or at any time placed in jeopardy of being injured. -2- PACIFIC WOOD PRESERVING OF BAKERSFIELD · ·-EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES NOTIFICATION IN THE EVENT OF AN EMEGENCY SITUATION THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR WILL BE NOTIFIED FIRST; SUBSEQUENTLY, ALL FACILITY PERSONNEL, APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL AGENCIES, AND FIRE OR POLICE DEPARTMENTS WILL ALSO BE NOTIFIED.

WHERE MAINTENANCE OF COMPLIANCE IS A PROBLEM ARE IDENTIFIED AND DISCUSSED, AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS ARE SOUGHT. 4) INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURED IN THE PAST YEAR THAT WARRANTED USE OF CONTINGENCY PLANS AND/OR EMERGENCY ACTION.THEY REVIEW CAUSE OF INCIDENT AND IDENTIFICATION OF STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO PREVENT OR TO ENSURE BETTER HANDLING OF SUCH EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. PACIFIC WOOD PRESERVING OF BAKERSFIELD THE INITIAL RESPONSE TO ANY EMERGENCY WILL BE TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY, AND THEN THE ENVIRONMENT. IDENTI- FICATION, CONTAINMENT, TREATMENT, AND DISPOSAL ASSESSMENT WILL BE SECONDARY RESPONSE. IN THE EVENT OF A LEAK OR SPILL IN THE TANK AREA, ALL FEED LINES TO STORAGE TANKS WILL BE CLOSED, THE DIKE SURROUNDING THE TANK STORAGE AREA HAS THE CAPACITY TO HOLD THE LARGEST TANK AND ANY RAINFALL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SPILL IS DETECTED, A LOCAL CONTRACTOR WILL BE SUMMONED 'TO REMOVE ANDY STANDING LIQUIDS AND HAUL THE SPILLED MATERIAL TO A FACILITY APPROVED TO HANDLE THAT PARTICULAR WASTE. IF FOR SOME REASON A CHEMICAL SPILL IS NOT cONTAINED WITH IN A DIKE OR SUMP AREA, AN AREA OF ISOLATION WILL BE ESTABLISHED AROUND THE SPILL THE SIZE OF THE AREA WILLo GENERALLY DEPEND ON THE SIZE OF THE SPILL AND THE MATERIALS INVOLVED. IF THE SPILL IS LARGE AND INVOLVES A TANK OR A PIPELINE RUPTURE, AND INITIAL ISOLATION OF A LEAST 100 FT. IN ALL DIRECTIONS WILL BE USED. SMALL SPILLS OR LEAKS FROM A TANK OR PIPE WILL REQUIRE EVACUATION OF AT LEAST 50 FT. IN ALL DIRECTIONS TO ALLOW CLEAN-UP AND REPAIR AND TO PREVENT EXSPOSURE. WHEN ANY SPILL OCCURS, ONLY THOSE PERSONS INVOLVED IN OVERSEEING OR PERFORMING EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WILL BE ALLOWED WITHIN THE DESIGNATED AREA. IF POSSIBLE THE AREA WILL BE BLOCKED OFF. PACIFIC WOOD PRESERVING OF BAKERSFIELD SPILLS OR MATERIAL RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR EMERGENCY INVOLVING A CHEMICAL SPILL, THE FOLLOWING GENERAL PROCEDURES WILL BE USED FORRAPID AND SAFE RESPONSE AND CONTROL OF THE SITUATION. IF AN EMPLOYEE DISCOVERS A CHEMICAL SPILL OR PROCESS UPSET RESULTING IN A VAPOR RELEASE, HE OR SHE WILL IMMEDIATELY REPORT IT OT THE AREA SUPERVISOR. THE AREA SUPERVISOR WILL CONTACT THE DESIGNATED EMERGENCY COORDINATOR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WHEN CONTACTED THE DESIGNATED EMERGENCY COORDINATOR WILL OBTAIN INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE FOLLOWING: i. THE MATERIAL SPILLED OR RELEASED 2. LOCATION OF THE RELEASE OR SPILLAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. 3. AN ESTIMATE OF QUANTITY RELEASED AND THE RATE AT WHICH IT IS BEING RELEASED. 4. THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE SPILL OR VAPOR OR SMOKE RELEASE IS HEADING. 5. ANY INJURIES INVOLVED. 6. FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION OR POSSIBILITY OF THESE EVENTS. 7. THE AREA AND MATERIALS INVOLVED AND THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE OR EXPLOLSION. THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE AND POTENTIAL SERIOUSNESS OF THE SPILL OR RELEASE. IF THE ACCIDENT IS DETERMINED TO LIE WITHIN THE COMPANYS EMERGENCY RESPONSE CABILITIES,THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR WILL CONTACT AND DEPLOY THE NECESSARY INPLANT PERSONNEL. IF THE ACCIDENT IS BEYOND PLANT CABILITIES, THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR WILL CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE AGENCIES.

Pending any changes in production, process control, employee handling procedures or other circumstances as specified in EPA's PEL Checklist, monitoring need not be repeated and employees would not be required to wear respiratory protection during routine activities. · · Current data compare favorably with baseline data obtained in January, 1986. INTRODUCTION Air sampling was conducted at the licensee's request on May 24, 1988 by B. Itussey during the day shift at Pacific Wood Preserving of Bakersfield Corp. to update baseline inorganic levels in light of Proposition 65. Employee activities and plant operating conditions were reported to be normal during the survey where three charges were treated. Environmental conditions were clear and windy with temperatures in the 90°F range. June 21, 1988 'PELM0nitoring Program ~ ,. '. Page 2.- Pacific Wood Preserving ' RESULTS Samples were collected on mixed cellulose ester membrane AA/B filters using MSA Model G portable sampling pumps. Analysis for inorganic arsenic was performed using flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophoto- metric techniques as outlined in Koppers Chemical Analysis Group Method No. A-179. Sample collection and analysis techniques meet or exceed monitoring and measurement procedures specified by the EPA. Monitoring data are summarized in Table 1. · DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS e~Current~data Comply with EPA provisions outlined in the PEL Monitoring Program.. · No recommendations are made at this time and no corrective action is required based on' EPA requirements. . ® Arsenic levels were well below the existing Permissible Exposure Limit (10 pg/m3) and Action Level (5.0 pg/m3).
