Dear Mr. Hu, ~
The enclosed application(s) for two (2) Authorities to Construct (ATC) are for a
temporary (approximately one year) soil remediation project. The remediation project
proposed 'herein, will utilize vapor extraction / thermal / catalytic oxidation equipment
for the destruction of gasoline range hydrocarbons volatilized from the soil.
We are requesting .that two separate vapor extraction thermal oxidation machines be
permitted to. operate on this site. The reason for this requeSt is that we currently have a
machine available for installation; however, this particular machine has been allocated
to another jobsite with an approximate start date of July 1, 1995. Additionally, there is
an issue of compliance with the City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Division's
request to proceed with the remediation by Apdl 15, 1995. By permitting both
machines with the understanding that only one machine will be used at this site at any
one time, we will be able to make a smooth transition from' machine to machine.
Finally, both machines possess the required equipment to meet best available
control technology for thermal oxidizers.
The propoSed first thermal oxidizer is a Stealth Industries model Bobcat 200 unit,
heated electrically. The unit's minimum operating temperature is 600 deg. F This
temperature is set to ensure vapor oxidation at reasonable electrical cost.
Furthermore, the unit has a catalytic module to complete the oxidation process. The
unit is equipped with a regenerative type vapor extraction blower. For improved
reliability and safety, the valve controls, actuators, and components are controlled by
relay logic. The Bobcat 200 is equipped with a water knock-out pot, automatic air
dilution capability, and a nOise reducing muffler.
This proposed piece of equipment is designed to shut down' and lock out in the event
of a system malfunction. The various safety features include high and Iow oxidizer bed
temperatures, high and Iow blower pressure, high intake LEL, high and Iow air
pressure, high and Iow exhaust temperature, and water knockout malfunction sensor.

(805) 836-8100 ' FAX (805) 836-8800
(800) 301-42.44
A 99% destruction efficiency is stated in the manufacturer's specifications for the
Bobcat 200. ~__
The second thermal oxidizer is an AIREX model RETOX 200 (Regenerative Thermal
__Oxidizer), electrically heated high temperature, vapor extraction and treatment system.
The unit is equipped with a 200 SCFM blower, an air compressor for actuating the
Process valves, and a computerized automatic temperature control unit. The RETOX
200 is also equipped with a water knock-out pot, automatic air dilution, and a
continuous strip chart recorder for intake LEL, vacuum pressure (CFM throughput'),
and oxidizer bed and stack temperature.
The RETOX 200 is designed with various automatic shutdown features in the event of a
system malfunction. These safety features include high and Iow oxidizer bed
temperatures, high and Iow blower pressure, high intake LEL, high and Iow air
pressure, high and Iow exhaust temperature, electric power interruption, and computer
module failure.
A 99% destruction efficiency is stated in the manufacturer's specifications for the
RETOX 200. The maximum design throughput of the oxidizer bed itself is 312 $CFM
-(Standard Cubic Feet per Minute) in order to maintain the residence time required for
thermal oxidation.
AquaGeosciences, Inc. will operate and monitor the Bobcat 200 and the ReTox 200 in
accordance with the conditions stipulated in the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control
District (SJUAPCD) permits to ensure that hydrocarbon emissions are within the
permitted limits. The continuous strip chart recorders, on both machines, will also
provide a hard copy record of the intake vapor flowrate, intake LEL, and thermal
oxidizer chamber temperature to document proper operation and permit compliance.
Enclosed for your review are the complete ATC applications, in questionnaire form,
with diagrams, exhibits, and equipment specifications for both the'Bobcat 200 and the
RETOX 200.
The remediation system will be located in the parking lot approximately 150 feet north
of the building formerly occupied by the Auto Club of Southern California, between
23rd and 24th streets in downtown Bakersfield, California.. Actual remediation process
is expected to take approximately twelve months. Also enclosed are the Permit
Application Fees of $120.00 for the Authorities to Construct review processes.
Should yo'u have.any questions or concerns regarding this'ATC permit application, "~ :i
please contact the undersigned at (805) 836-8100. Thank you for your time and . -
consideration in this review.
Respectfully Submitted, -:-- -'

i.O DESIGN BASIS
1. ! Process Flow
The SVE can treat up to 200 SCFM of soil vapor contaminated with non-cMorinated
VOCs.
1.2 Soil Vapor .Connection
.. One, 3" NPT (female) connection.
.':. 1.3 VOCs Concentration
: .... At 1,200°F outlet, the maximum $oil Vapor VOCs concentration that can be treated
: without dilution is 3,500 ppm by volume, measured as hexane. This is equivalent to
.. approximately 25% LEL.
VOCs concentration of CO-F~ed entering the oxidizer chamber is continuously monitored
:'..: :. '. with an LEL det~tor. If CO-Feed exceeds the % LEL set-point, dilution air is
.: .. automatically added to maintain the LEL entering the combustion chamber at the proper
'.. concentration. High. LEL level will cause the system to go into alarm mode (see 5.0).
...... 1.4 ' Catalytic Module
The catalytic module causes VOC destruction to occur ten times quicker and at
· :... temperatures 50% lower than in a thermal incinerator. The conversion .is so efficient that
:.' it doesn't need continuous monitoring.
" Made ffo.m a variety of durable and highly dispersed Platinum Group Metals. The metals
:v :i' '..-v provide the highest catalytic activity and poison re$imance, allowing lower inlet
..-.':: ::'.. temperatures for achieving conversion levels and witl~randing higher operating "
.::. temperatures without degradation.
: .. Catalytic oxidiation is clearly, economically superior technology for destroying VOCs.
1.5 Operating Temperature
Operating temperature, when processing soil vapors, is 650°F minimum inlet to the
catalytic cell and 1200°F maximum outlet of the catalytic cell. The combustion
.... temperature is measured in the exhau,t stack where oxidation of the VOCs, and the
accompanying exothermic reaction occurs.
1.6. Destruction Efficiency
Thc oxidizer is designed to destroy a minimum of ninety-nine pcmcnt (99%) of the non-
metl~ane VOCs, calculated as hexane, entering the timrmal oxidizer, under the following

VAPOR EXTRACTIQN SYSTEM DESIGN
DESCR.IFI/ON OF PROCESS
The vapor extraction treatment system to be used at various locations in the Los Angeles Basin
will be conducted by recovering soil vapors containing gasoline vapors from subsurface.mils via
existing groundwater monitoring wells and/or vadose zone wblls, and treating the vapors with
a regenerative thermal oxidation system. Th.is equipment has been previously permitted' by the
SCAQMD for use by Park Environmental Corporation ('Park) for applications in Los Angeles
County and also for ADWEST Technology, Inc., the manufacturer of the regenerative thermal
oxidizer.
Each existing groundwater monitoring well and/or vadose zone well to be utilized for vapor
extraction will be manifolded to 4' Schedule 40 PVC pipe which will serve as the conduit for
recovering soil vapors from treatment. This manifold system will connect to the vacuum side
of 5 horsepower rotary positive blower. The gasoline vapors are extracted from the soil and the
groundwater surface by enhancing volatiTation with reduced pressure and increased vapo~ "flow
through the soil. The blower exhaust containing the gasoline vapors feeds the positive pressure
line to the centrifugal demister and flowmeter into the regenerative thermal oxidizer (Please refer
to enclosed Figures 1, 2, and 3). After treatment by the thermal oxidizer, the treated well
vapors are discharged to the atmosphere with emissions that meet or exceed SCAQMD criteria.
GF_2qF_,RAL INFORMATION FOR ALL SYSTEMS
The following information is in response to required information for permit applicatiOn as
described in 'Vapor Extraction and Treatment Systems Used for Soil Decontamination' prepared
by the SCAQMI), dated September, 1990.
a. The maximum flow rate of the contaminated flow stream is 300 scfm based on
the specifications of the blower system. The flow rate will be determined prior
to any system installation based on the results of a vapor extraction treatability
study that will be conducted.
b) The location of the blower, duct system and emission control devices will be
shown on a site by site basis.
c) The chosen blower size was based on vacuum requirements determined during a
past vapor extraction treatability tests conducted using a 92 SCFM blower at other
various sites in the Los Angeles Basin. This data was compared to
manufacturer's specification tables to determine proper blower size.
C: 117'7I l .PER
THE I~L&L OXIDIZER
A process flow diagram is included as Figure 2. The thermocouples (four total, two
are online, two for backup) are located in the silica gravel bed to constantly monitor
and feedback the temoeram.re .:o the ALlen Bradley computer wix/ch adjusts the
power output to the heaters as required to ma{ntaln the proper bed temr>erature.
The loc.it_ion of. the individual components of the thermal oxidizer is shown on Figure
1 depicting the mailer mounted thermal oxidizer.
b) A scale drawing of the thermal oxidizer, is presented on Fig-m-e 1. No burner is
required as there is no auxilia~, fuel required.
c) The blower is powered by a 5 horsepower motor. The minimum temperature of the
gas t.,hat will flow over the silica gravel bed ks 1700° F.
d) Selecting the size and capacity, of the thermal oxidizer was based on the available
flow rates of exu-acted wen vapors from the vapor extraction/monitoring wells that
have been pre'dously tested at various sites. The size and capacity. (300 'SCFM
nominal flow) is designed by the manufact-urer, Adwest Technolo~es, Inc. and is
based on patented technolo.D' licensed from Combustion En~neering, Inc. Any
additional data deemed necessary, for evaluation of the permit application can be
obtained from Combustion En~.neering at (800) 828-~4 ext. 394.
e) The maximum g~.,flow rate thr6ugh the oxidizer will be limited to the output of the
rotary positive blower which is sized to provide 312 SCFM at 6" Hg vacuum. This
insures that no more than 312 SCFM will enter the oxidizer at 6" Hg vacuum_ See
enclosed blower per/ormance curves and specifications for 4M blower with 5
horseoower motor.
f) The manufacturers description of imu-umentation to maintain and control the
temperature in the oxidizer are included.

CONDITIONS
1) The District shall be notified 48 hours prior to operating the
vapor collection system by calling (619) 872-8211.
2) Southern California Edison Company shall be responsible for
the safe operation of this equipment from commencement of this
project to final completion.. Southern California Edison Company is
also responsible for insuring that subcontractor(s), employees, and
all other persons connected with the project abide by the
conditions of this permit.
3) During the initial phase II remediation period, the scope of
work shall be limited to installation of the sparger manifold
network, placement of the Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) gathering
field and the installation of one vapor extraction pump ducted to
the carbon adsorber canisters plumbed in series. This system shall
be installed adcording to the design specifications submitted with
the revised Authority to Construct application. The eVE network,-'
and activated carbon adsorber canisters shall be properly, sized,
winterized, and maintained. The'overall volume of air extracted
from beneath the Contel building shall not exceed 100 CFM. To
verify that this operating limit is observed, appropriate air flo~
meters and pressure gages shall be installed on the SVE side of the~/
system.
4) If hydrocarbon breakthrough is detected in the first carbon
.canister, Southern California Edison Company shall either a)
install a fresh third canister to the outlet of the second
canister, or b) replace the first canister with a fresh carbon
canister. A third'canister may also be installed prior to the
detection of breakthrough in the first canister. If at anytime
prior to the estimated life of the first canister, breakthrough is
detected,.' the first canister shall be replaced with a fresh
canister by a qualified technician within 7 days of detection of
hydrocarbon breakthrough. If hydrocarbon breakthrough is also
detected in the second canister, Southern California Edison Company
or their contractor shall immediately suspend further operation of
the system until the first two canisters have been replace with
fresh carbon.
5) Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) emitted to the atmosphere
from the last carbon canister shall not exceed a concentration.of?~
10 ppmv. Within 30 days, Southern California Edison Company shall
determine the appropriate operating curve, and canister service
life taking into account the manufacturer's reconunendation. Upon
concurrence from the District, this service life shall then be
incorporated as a Permit to Operate condition. Southern California
Edison Company or their contractor shall allow District staff free
access to the adsorber stack outlet, and sampling ports~!~measure
and verify that hydrocarbon breakthrough has not occurr~l~ht~e
event hydrocarbon breakthrough is detected, or suspected,
USA Products, or their contractor shall immediately suspend furt~
0p~ations 6f the system until the last carbon bed canister in the
series is replaced with fresh carbon.
6) During.the first month, at least two carbon canisters shall be
connected in series. Throughout the initial start-up period, the
site shall be visited by a service technician on a daily basis.
Over the next thirty days, the service technician shall attend t6
the site at least four times. After the first month, service calls
may be reduced to twice a month visits for the remainder of the
remediation prOject. Throughout the life of this project, the
applicant shall keep on site a maintenance journal. In this
journal the service technician shall log the following:
a) the date and hours of operation.
b) record when inspections or maintenance operations were
'preformed.
b) monitor air pressures and process flow rates.
c) degree of hydrocarbon found throughout the system~
(Primarily, the TPH concentrations found from sample
ports located before, between, and emissions emitted from
the carbon adsorber stack outlet.
d) VOC n leak detector calibration charts.
e) the number of carbon canisters exchanges performed.
As the clean-up effort proceeds, sampling frequency may be reduced
by written consent of the District. These records shall be kept on
file for a minimum of two years.
~) The applicant shall obtain a portable Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC) leak detector capable of meeting the performance
specifications described in EPA's Source Test Reference Method 21.
This instrument shall be properly maintained, calibrated and made
readily available during site visits. Before rotating the last
carbon caDister in service, a grab bag sample of the air exhausted
to the atmosphere shall be taken and analyzed for total petroleum
hydrocarbons & BTEX. To reduce possible sample contamination, a
Tedlar' bag shall be utilized with the collected sample analyzed by
USEPA test method 8020 or CARB test method 410A. For the first
thirty days, the results of these tests shall be immediately
forwarded to the District by phone or fax. Sample results along
with a general report describing the status of the cleanup effort
shall be submitted to the District on a quarterly basis.
8) Because a potential nuisance may be created during site
excavation (California Health & Safety Code Sec. 41700), the
applicant shall immediately cover all sizable quantities of
excavated soil with a visqueen tarpaulin to slow the hydrocarbon'
evaporation reaction rate and prevent wind blown dust and dirt from
being carried beyond the property boundary.
9) If deemed necessary by the District to verify com~?~ance with
these conditions, the applicant shall within 7 da~D~ce be
available to open any water well, vapor extraction port,
outlet for the purpose of. conducting source tests o~ to
samples. In enforcing this permit, any cost incurred in collectin~
samples, source testing and laboratory analysis fees shall be the
responsibility of the applicant (Rule 302 Analysis Fee).
10) Spent adsorber canisters and any liquids trapped within a
filter, knock out pot, or water separator shall be considered a
hazardous waste and handled and disposed of accordingly. Used
carbon may not be regenerated at'the site, and shall be promptly
removed.
11) The provisions of this permit may be modified by the District
if it determines the stipulated controls are inadequate, or if
District Rule(s) 400, 401, or 402 are violated. In the event the
control system fails to reduce emissions to below the permitted
levels, the applicant shall be required to modify or supplement the
system to'the satisfaction of the Air Pollution Control Officer.
12) Southern California Edison Company or their contractor shall
promptly notify the District in writing should they learn..of or
encounter conditions where toxic air emissions of concern are
allowed to disperse into the ambient air. Toxic air emissions are
those listed on the AB2588 list of substances as required by the.
California Health & Safety Code Section 44321.
