The Auto Club of Southern I California requested that RESNA Industries prepare this work plan in response to the detection of hydrocarbons in soil during a real estate assessment at the site. I The work for the proposed investigation includes drilling three soil borings, collecting and analyzing soil samples for hydrocarbon constituents and preparing a report documenting our procedures, methods and results. The data will be interpreted to evaluate the extent of previously detected soil I hydrocarbons and to evaluate the possible threat to the groundwater below the site. I 2.0 BACKGROUND .The site is located southWest of the intersection of F Street and 24th Avenue as shown on the Location I Map, Plate 1..The results of a Phase I real estate assessment conducted by RESNA showed that a gasoline service station previously operated in the northeast section of the property. According to the City of Bakersfield Building Department, the station was demolished in 1977. There are no records I available regarding underground tank removal or abandonment. i On October 21, 1991, a geophysical survey was conducted at the site by Spectrum Environmental Geophysics of San Fernando, California to evaluate for underground tanks. The total field magnetic · and the ground penetrating radar (GPR) methods were used. Two magnetic anomalies were detected; I however, the GPR signatures of the anomalies did not indicate the presence of underground tanks. On November 14, 1991 as part of a Phase II investigation by RESNA, three soil borings were advanced I to enable evaluation of possible hydrocarbon impaction of soil. The borings (B-1, B-2 and B-3) were advanced at the approximate locations depicted on the Site Map, Plate 2. B-1 and B-2 were advanced to depths of 20 feet and B-3 was advanced to 40 feet. Soil samples were collected and logged at five- I foot intervals and were evaluated for hydrocarbons with a photoionizafion detector (PID). On the basis of PID-readings, six samples were submitted for laboratory analysis. The laboratory I level hydrocarbons in four with highest concentration in from reported low samples reported samples B-1. On the basis of these results, boring B-1 was deepened to a depth of 45 feet on November 22, 1991.. The soil sample collected from 45 feet was submitted for laboratory analysis. These results and I the previous results are summarized in Table 1.

Based on theses results further investigation was recommended. It was also recommended that the I Hazardous Materials Section of the City of Bakersfield Fire Department (BlaT)) be notified of the hydrocarbon impacfion. In a December 2, 1991 letter to the Auto Club, the BFD requested that a site assessment be conducted in accordance with Regional Water Quality Control 'Board (RWQCB) Irecommendations to evaluate the distribution of concentrations of hydrocarbons in soil beneath the site. The Auto Club has contracted RESNA to prepare this workplan and implement the investigation. I 3.0 AREA GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY I The Site is located in the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley, a broad structural trough that forms the southern two-thirds of the Central Valley. The valley is bordered on the east by the Sierra I Nevada and on the west by the Coastal Ranges and extends approximately 250 miles southeastward from the confluence of the San Joaquin and the Sacramento Rivers to the Tehachapi and the San Emigdio Mountains. The width of the valley ranges from 25 miles near the Kern River to 55 miles i near the Kings River and averages about 35 miles. The site is at an approximate elevation of 402 feet above mean sea level approximately 1.25 mile south I of the Kern River (U.S. Geological Survey, 1973) on deposits and lies of the Kern River alluvial fan (Dale, French and Gordon, 1966). The unconsolidated fan sediments that underlie the site are i Quantery deposits of Sierra Nevada detritus and consist primarily of sand and gravel. The area overlies RESNA INDUSTRIES JANUARY 13, 1992/Page 2 I I AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA i a deep structural trough between crystalline rocks of the Sierra Nevada and Tertiary marine rocks of the Coastal Ranges. Overlying these two broad units and filling the deep structural trough is a thick mass of Tertiary and Quaternary continental alluvial and lacustrine sediments. I The groundwater reservoir is within the continental deposits. According to the Kern County Water Agency, the depth to first unconfined water beneath the site is approximately 155 feet. ! 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK I The purpose of this investigation is to assess the extent of gasoline hydrocarbons in soil. The following i tasks are proposed and discussed below: o Drilling three 8-inch-diameter borings with a hallow stem auger drill rig to an approximate depth of' 40 to 75 feet. o Collecting and classifying relatively undisturbed soil samples taken at 5-foot I intervals in the soil borings and at obvious changes in soil type. o Analyzing selected soil samples for total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline I (TPHg) and for benzene, toluene, total xylenes and ethylbenzene (BTXE) at a laboratory certified by the State of California. I o Interpreting field and laboratory data to evaluate the distribution of soil hydrocarbon concentrations beneath the site. I o Preparing a report of findings documenting procedures, methods, results, interpretations and recommendations. I 4.1 Soil Borings and Soil Sampling Soil borings will be drilled with a Mobile B-53 drill rig equipped with 8-inch- I diameter, hollow-stem augers., Auger flights and sampling equipment will be steam-cleaned before 'use to minimize the possibility of downhill or cmsshole contamination. Drilling will be observed by a field geologist or a trained technician I under the supervision of a State of California Registered Geologist, and the earth materials in the borings will be logged in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System as drilling progresses. I During drilling, soil samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals and at obvious changes in soil types with a California-modified, split-spoon sampler equipped with I clean brass sleeves. Samples will be collected by advancing the auger to a point just above the sampling depth and driving the sampler into the native soil. The i sampler will be driven 18 inches with a standard 140-pound hammer repeatedly RESNA INDUSTRIES JANUARY 13, 1992/Page 3 I AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA dropped 30 inches~ The number of blows required to drive the sampler each successive 6-inch interval will be counted and recorded to give an indication of soil consistency. Soil samples selected for possible chemical analysis will be sealed quickly with teflon tape, plastic caps, and duct tape. The samples will be labeled and placed in iced for to the laboratory for analysis. Chain of Custody Records. storage transport · will be initiated by the geologist in the field and will accompany the samples to the laboratory. Copies of these records will be presented in our f'mal report. 4.2 Field Screening Soil samples will be evaluated with a photoionizafion detector (PID), which measures hydrocarbon concentrations in the ambient air or headspace above the soil sample. Field instruments such as the PID can be used to evaluate relative concentrations of hydrocarbon vapor but not with the accuracy of laboratory analysis. 4.3 Boring Locations Planned locations of the soil borings are shown on Plate 2. Boring B-4 will be advanced near boring B-1 to an approximate depth of 75 feet to enable evaluation of the vertical extent of the gasoline hydrocarbons. Borings B,5 and B-6 will be advanced at the approximate locations shown on Plate 2 to an approximate depth of 40 feet to enable evaluation of the lateral extent. ff impacted soil is encountered the borings will be advanced, if feasible, until encountering 10 feet of subjectively non-impacted soil as indicated by PID- readings, planned borings may changed borings may The locations of the be and be added or deleted based on field observations and field screening. If changes are warranted, they will be discussed with the BFD. 4.4 Backfilling of Boreholes Boreholes with subjectively non-impacted soil will be backfilled with the drill cuttings. Boreholes with subjectively impacted soil will be backfilled with either a sand/cement slurry or a neat cement/bentonite slurry. Subjectively impacted cuttings generated during drilling will be will be stored in 17-H DOT 55-gallon drums. 4.5 Laboratory Analyses Soil samples selected will be analyzed for TPH as gasoline by modified EPA Method 8015 and for B.TXE by EPA Method 8020. Detection limits suitable for the and concentrations wiU be stated the tests requested present laboratory on reports. Tests will be performed by Applied Analytical Environmental Laboratories in Irvine, California, a laboratory certified by the State of'California for the analyses requested. INDUSTRIES JANUARY 13, 1992/Page 4 AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 4.6 Report Preparation A report of findings will be prepared for the Auto Club in accordance with RWQCB recommendations summarizing our methods, procedures, and interpretations. If Warranted, recommendations for additional work will be presented. Information' gathered during the study will be considered confidential and will be released only with the authorization of the Auto Club. 5.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY All RESNA employees that will work at the site have received the Health and Safety training required by OSHA for hazardous waste site operations (29 CFR 1910.120). Gasoline fuel constituents are the identified hazardous substances at this site. The more volatile components, especially benzene, pose the greatest health hazard. Because of the outdoor location and the intermittent nature of drilling operations, it is not considered likely that personnel will be exposed to elevated levels of hydrocarbon vapors for any length of time. Under these conditions personnel will work under"Class D" protection. The PID will be used to monitor ambient concentrations of organic vapors. Personnel will be issued air-purifying respirators (APR) with organic vapor canisters which can be donned if conditions warrant. A detailed site specific Health and Safety Plan, attached as Appendix A, will be distributed to and adhered to by all RESNA personnel and any/all site visitors. A "tailgate" safety meeting will be held at the site to at which all site hazards and Health and Plan will prior commencing operations Safety be reviewed. 6.0 PROPOSED WORK SCHEDULE It is anticipated that drilling and sampling can commence within 1 week after receiving authorization from the BFD and that field activities can be completed in approximately 1 working day. The analytical laboratory reports should be received two weeks after the field work and the report of findings should be Completed within the subsequent 2 weeks. 7.0 REFERENCES Dale, R. H., J. J.

FACILITY BACKGROUND 1.0 BACKGROUND The site is located southwest of the intersection of F Street and' 24th Avenue. The results of a Phase I real estate assessment conducted by RESNA showed that a gasoline service station previously in the northeast section of the to the of Bakersfield operated property. According City Building Department, the station was demolished in 1977. There are no records available regarding under- ground tank removal or abandonment. On October 2.1, 1991, a geophysical survey was conducted at the site by Spectrum Environmental Geophysics of San Femando, California to evaluate for underground tanks. The total field magnetic method and the ground penetrating radar (GPR) were used. Two magnetic anomalies were detected; however, the GPR signatures of the anomalies did not indicate the presence of underground tanks. On November 14, 1991 as part of a Phase II investigation by RESNA, three soil borings were advanced to enable evaluation of for possible hydrocarbon impaction of soil. The borings (B-l, B-2 and B-3) were advanced at the approximate locations depicted on the Site Map, Plate 2. B-1 and B-2 were advanced to depths of 20 feet and B-3 was advanced to 40 feet. Soil samples were collected anti logged at five-foot intervals and were evaluated for hydrocarbons with a photoionizadon detector (PID). On the basis of PID-readings, six samples were submitted for laboratory analysis. The laboratory reported low levels hydrocarbons in four samples with highest concentration reported in samples from B-1. On the basis of these results, B-1 to of 45 feet November 22, boring was deepened a depth on 1991 and the soil sample collected frOm 45 feet was submitted for laboratory analysis.

Specific compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylenes and ethylbenzene are known to be present in this of fuel. Benzene is known and limit type a carcinogen precautions necessary to exposure to this compound. Material data sheets (MSDS) for these compounds are in Attachment A. I NOTES 1) Inh - Inhalation Ing- Ingestion I Abs - Absorption through the skin 2) TLV-TWA - Threshold Limit Value-Time Weighted Average) I 3) ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists I 4.2 INHALATION HAZARD I The vapor and dust concentrations that might be encountered during sampling and mitigation procedures may exceed currently recommended exposure limits. Respiratory protection must therefore be used in the work area. Engineering and administrative controls to abate windbome dust I will be employed. These will include items such as water spray from a 500 gallon tank and/or administrative controls such as reducing site activities that produce windborne dust. I 4.3 DERMAL EXPOSURE HAZARD I Contact of sufficient duration to cause significant absorption of toxic components is highly unlikely. Repeated daily or prolonged contact over a period of time may however, lead to absorption through the skin, irritation and dermatitis. For this reason direct skin contact shall be avoided by wearing I protective gloves and clothing. However, if contact does occur, the exposed areas shall be washed with soap and water and rinsed thoroughly. I 4.3.1 Eye Contact If eye contact is made with any chemical materials at the site, the eye shall be I flooded with water for at least 15 minutes. Medical attention shall be obtained as soon as possible. I RESNAGROUNDWATER RESOURCES INC.

Page 7 I HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SECTION S JOB HAZARD SUMMARY Exposure to chemical hazards may occur when contaminated soils are brought to the surface during drilling and during the vapor extraction process. As each of task begins, the potential risk of exposure increases. Consequently, level C personal protective equipment shall be available at the site. If monitoring of the breathing zone establishes another action level, the personal protection level may be upgraded. Nearby residents or workers are at a sufficient distance that they shall be at no significant risk. The SSO shall determine if any further action is required. RESNAGROUNDWATER RESOURCES INC. Page 8 ! HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SECTION 6 EXPOSURE MONITORING PLAN 6.1 DRILLING The exposure monitoring activities shall be conducted or directed by the SSO during those activities that require such monitoring. At a minimum, the breathing zone shall be monitored for organic vapor and excavation activities. This shall be of Foxboro HNU during drilling accomplished by use OVA, or Photovac PID portable analyzer. A Oastech LEL explosive meter shall be used to warn of any explosive hazards during these actvifies. 6.2 ACTION LEVELS Actions levels for explosive hazards are set at 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). In the event that enough combustible vapor is present to sustain readings at or near 25% of LEL work shall cease until an evaluation is perform by the $SO and a determination can be made. Actions levels for organic vapors in the breathing zone shall based on readings obtained by the portable equipment mentioned. The FID instrument determines the total organic vapor present in the breathing zone. Readings of 0 to 300 ppm (TWA for gasoline is 300 ppm) shall be considered level D without respirators. Readings of 300 ppm or greater for 5 minutes or longer shall trigger an action level to upgrade to level C or modified level D with respirators. Using a PID inslxument which is sensitive to the aromatic components of fuel, readings in the neighborhood of 90 ppm for five minutes will trigger to Class C that aromatics constitute 30 of change protection, assuming percent gasoline.

GENIUM PUBLISHING m NO. 316 SECTION Vl, HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION TLV 10 ppm or 30 mg/m3 (skin) Excessive inhalation or p.rolonged skin exposure may cause headache, weariness, loss of appetite and lassitude with incipient blood effects including decreased cell counts, mild lymphotosis and eosinopenia. The most significant toxic effect of benzene is in- sidious and often irreversible injury to the blood forming tissue from chronic low level exposures. Development of leukemia may occur from chronic excessive exposure[ Eye contact yields irritatioh from liquid or high vapor concentrations. Skin contact will also yield a defatting effect. Inhalation may result in collapse, bronchitis and pneuomonia. FIRST AID: ' -.Eye co~tact: Wash eyes well with water for 15 minutes. Contact physician. Skin contact: Wash skin well with water. Contaminated clothing should be removed at once. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Restore breathing if required and administer oxygen for labored breathing. Contact physician. Ingestion: Give edible fats or oils to swallow. Do not induce vomiting (aspiration hazard). Contact a physician immediately. SECTION VII, $PIkL~ LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES If a significant spill occurs, notify safety personnel a-ad evacuate the area. Remove all ignition sources. Pro~Sde maximum, explosion-proof ventilation. Clean-up personnel must use approved self-contained breathing apparatus and other protective equipment to avoid contact with benzene. Remove free liquid. Pick up residue with an inert absorbant, such as vermiculite, and placed in a closed metal container for disposal, using non-sparking tools. When neces- sary, benzene may be flushed away from a critical area with water, but flush to open area only, not to sewer or to surface waters. DISPOSA~L: Incinerate waste benzene or dispose of via a licensed solvent disposal company Do not send (or allow run off) to the sewer: SECTION VIII, SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Provide ventilation and local exhaust ventilation benzene is general handled, or stored to meet TLV requirements. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be avail. able for emergencies and non-routine situations. Approved cartridge or canister type respirators can be used for benzene concentrations up to 50 ppm for short periods. A full facepiece is required above 10 ppm To prevent skin contact, gloves, aprons, boots, etc of neoprene or other benzene-resistan materials should be used. Chemical goggles or face shields should be used if splashing is possible. Eyewash station should be available where splashing is probable. SECTION IX, SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS I W~enever possible, less toxic solvents should be substituted for benzene. Consult health and safety services before benzene is rsed in plant operations. Do not breathe vapors. Prevent contact with liquid. It is a suspected cancer causing agent'. Keep away from heat, sources of ignition, and oxidizing agents. No smoking in a~eas of I use. Store and handle as OSHA Class lB liquid. Pre-placement detailed medical examination is needed. Workers who show heart, lung, kidney, liver, nervous disease, or any blood abnormality should not be assigned. Peri- odic physical examinations and area monitoring is required.

GENIUM PUBLISHING No. 385 SECTION VI, HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION I TLV iO0 ppm Excessive exposure to vapors will irritate the eyes and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Sustained high levels can produce headache, depression of the central nervous system, narcosis and coma. Liquid contact is irritating to the eyes and irritation and defatting to the skin, leading to dermatitis on prolonged or repeated exposures. Ingestion may lead to aspiration of liquid into the lungs small amounts of aspirated ethyl benzene cause extensive edema and hemorrhage of lung tissue. FIRST AID! Eye contact: Wash eyes well with plenty of running water. Get medical help if irritation persists. Skin contact: Wash exposed areas of skin. Promptly remove contaminated clothing. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Restore breathing necessary. if Get medical help for serious exposure. Ingestion: Get prompt medical help~ (The danger of aspirating ethyl benzene into the lungs indicates medical direction before inducing vomiting.) SECTION Vll, SPILL. LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES Personnel involved in leak or spill control and clean-up must use protective equip- ment to avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with liquid. Eliminate ignition sources. Provide maximum explosion-proof ventilation. Pick-up spilled material for recovery or disposal. Absorb with sand, etc. for dis- posal in a sanitary landfill or with paper towels or cloths for burning. Water can be used to flush liquid away from sensitive areas to special catch basins or ground, but not to sewer or surface water. DISPOSAL: Scrap material can be burned in approved incinerators in accordance with F~de~al, State and local regulations. SECTION VIII, SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Provide expolosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation to meet TLV require- ments. Approved respirators must be available for non-routine or emergency use. A full face respirator with organic vapor cartridge can be used up to 1000 ppm; a gas mask with organic vapor canister can be used up to 5000 ppm. a self-contained respirator is needed for high and unknown concentrations of vapor. Use impervious gloves and clothing and a face shield to prevent repeated or prolong~ contact with the liquid. Where splashing is possible chemical goggles should be used. Clothing contaminated with ethyl benzene should be promptly removed and not reused until free of the contaminant. Exposures above the action level, liquid contact, or working w~nere fire and explosi( hazards exist may require instituting employee training, medical surveillance, vapor concentration monitoring, record keeping, etc. wt~en the proposed standard issues, SECTION IX, SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS StOre thi~ ~ate'rial in tightly closgd containers in cool, well-ventilated areas, away from oxidizing agents, heat and sources of ignition.
