Southern Pacific Building One Market Plaza San Francisco, CA 94105 Dear Mr. Ransom: CLOSURE OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT FACILITY AT THE FORMER MAGNA CORPORATION SITE, BAKERSFIELD, KERN COUNTY, EPA I.D. #CAT000618728 The Baker Performance Chemical Co. is in the process of implementing the Closure Plan for their former hazardous waste treatment facility (Magna Corporation) on Pacheco Road near Gasferd Road in Bakersfield. Their closure activities address only the units they operated while leasing the property from the Southern Pacific Transportation Co. from 1974 to 1985. Due to visible seepage of a tar-like substance from the soil, strong objectionable odors from the site, and the results of the RCRA Facility Assessment done under contract for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we believe there may be contamination on-site that could pose a hazard to public health and the environment. In order to comply with Section 265.111 of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and Section 67211, Title 22, California Code of Regulations (CCR), regarding closure of hazardous waste management facilities, Southern Pacific Transportation Co. is required to perform a site characterization to identify the nature and extent of possible soil contamination. The soil characterization should include, at minimum, the following tests: EPA tests 8240 and 8270 (SW-846) for organic compounds; tests for.. the persistent and bioaccumulative substances listed, in.~Section 66699(b), Title 22, CCR; pH; and percent oil and grease. Should Southern Pacific Transporation Co. be able. to,prOvide historical data of the use of the site to demonstrate that these 'tests are inappropriate, or that other hazardous substances should be considered in characterizing the site, they should submit relevant information to DHS for consideration. Southern Pacific Transportation Co. Page 2 September 6, 1988 Please submit a workplan to DHS for the site characterization within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter. The soil sampling plan in the workplan should meet the requirements outlined in Volume II of EPA's Test Methods for Evaluatinq Solid Waste, SW-846, third edition.

Texas 77033 · {7131795-4270 CLOSURE PLAN MAGNA · Telex: 76-2330 · Cab[e: Magna Magna Corporation, a wholly owned subsidary of Baker International with an acrolein filling, cleaning and storage facility in Bakersfield, California, is submitting this proposed plan to comply with the closure requirements of 40 CFR (Subpart G) 265.111 through 265.115, and applicable state and local jurisdictional requirements. This closure plan is intended to identify all necessary steps that will be required of Magna Corporation an/or an independant contractor to close the facility and or units of the facility at any point during its operating life. A post closure plan will not be required for this facility, since disposal of all wastes will be removed off-site. - Magna Corporation will maintain an onsite copy of the approved closure plan and all subsequent revisions (if any) to the plan until the certification of closure completeness has been submitted and approved by the Regional Adm- inistrator of EPA, Region 9. ~~ The anticipated closure date for the entire facility is expected to be September 15, 1985. The last day of facility operation generating hazardous waste will be on or before September 15, 1985. Upon final closure, Magna Corporation will secure a registered professional engineer certification that the facility has been closed according to the requirements and specif- ications of the approved plan herein. Magna Corporation, being aware of the dilemma of retrofitting the burner to qualify as an incinerator and cognizant of the existing pressures placed on-onsite disposal facilities, opted to shut down the burning/disposal unit 9/15/83 and to secure an offsite disposal agreement with IT Corporation. Operations Review As per the accompanying flow schematic and current site drawing of the acrolein packaging operations, incoming "empty" containers are washed with methanol. Resident acrolein, inert polyacrylic polymer and "spent" methanol are the waste generated. This waste stream is pumped to the 2500 gallon "spent" tank (4) and when such is 3/4 full, the stream is pumped from the spent methanol tank (4) to the 8000 gallon waste tank (8). The waste solution contains: 95% (minimum) - methanol 5% (maximum) - acrolein trace - inert polymer (acrylic) The resident acrolein vapor ("empty" containers) escaping the methanol wash system as well as the "raw-material" acrolein vapor coming from the -1- CLOSURE PLAN Page 2 of 13 container fill system and the railroad tank car is ventilated through the 440 gallon sodium bisulfite scrubber system. The scrubber is charged periodically with 275 gallons of a (10%) aqueous sodium bisulfite solution. The sodium bisulfite is a neutralization agent for acrolein. The maximum holding capacity of wastes generated-through normal operations is 10,775 gallons. The waste generated in the above operations has been disposed of by two firms in the past: IT Corporation - approximately 2500 gallons per month of the spent methanol waste stream. Such was transported in bulk to IT Corp.'s Vine Hill disposal site, Martinez, California approximately bimonthly. Environmental Protection Corporation - approximately 275 gallons/ month of spent (10%) sodium bisulfite solution. This waste stream has been packaged in DOT E-7025, 55 gallon containers and disposed of at EPC Round Mountain Road disposal site, Bakersfield, California approximately quarterly. A. Partial Closure Activities Magna Corporation (expects) to perform partial closure at this facility by total shutdown of a North American Integral fan burner used in the thermal treatment of a liquid waste mixture. This waste mixture is generated in the cleaning and filling of acrolein cylinders and skid tanks. The burner is designed to handle 66% methanol and 33% acrolein as residue at 120 gallons/hour delivered at 140 PSIG. The thermal waste destruction system consists of flare, scrubber, burner, spent waste storage tanks and burner feed tank. Our procedures for partial closure of the waste burner will include: cleanup of soil behind the burner wall, decontamination of the burner parts, disposal of the retaining wall and decontamination of the piping and fittings from the burner feed tank. The decontamination agents will be a dual system: fresh menthanol (50 gallons) followed by a sodium bisulfite flush (25 gallons). Personnel safety equipment to be used include Tyvec-type suits, imperm6abie gloves and chemical goggles. "Please note as of the date of this revision of the closure plan the afore-mentioned steps in this "partial closure" have been completed. As a of this revision and as mentioned below the soil surrounding the burner area~ will be analyzed for acrolein contamination. Remedial groundwork and any other indicated decontamination procedure will be undertaken by Magoa Corporation as indicated and according to all pertinent rules and regulations.''l Units associated with the thermal 'waste destruction system that will remain in operation, are: the flare, the scrubber, and the new storage tank. The flare -2- 1. Revision dtd 7/25/85 CLOSURE PLAN Page 3 of 13 will remain in order to prevent the emission of natural gas fumes when the containers are being cleaned. The scrubber will be left in place as a secondary safeguard when the disposer is loading the tank truck. The scrubber will be in operation to capture the release of any organic vapor from the 8,000 gallon storage tank. All piping and fittings will be inspected daily and maintained so as to prevent the emission of vapor. The sodium bisulfite solution will be replaced as often as is necessary to maintain scrubber efficiency. Final Closure (Revised 7/25/85) Certified final closure will occur by 12/15/85, subject to jurisdictional approval of the closure plan herein. Nevertheless, the last day of waste generation resulting from routine operations will be on or before 9/15/85. The protocol for closing will take place in eight phases: 1. Soil sampling. 2. Cleaning of the filling piping. 3. Cleaning of the rinsing piping. 4. Cleaning of the venting piping. 5. Disposal of cleaning solution waste. 6. Cleaning of tank storages. 7. Dismantling of filling, rinsing, and venting piping and 8. Asphalt and concrete breakup. :ank storages. Soil sampling will be initiated as soon as practical~'commen;urate with the closure dates and timetables herein. The objective of the sa/mpling is to determine acrolein ground contamination (!'~f_any~. The samplin~nd analysis will be per guidelines set in the lates~~li):~~ Remedial groundwork, and any other indicated site decontamination procedure will be undertaken by Magna Corporation as indicated and according to all pertinent rules and regulations. For sample site locations please see attachment. Cleaning of the piping involved in the filling, rinsing, and venting operations will be accomplished by flushing said lines and tanks with methanol. The cleaning pr6cedure is considered redundant by Magna as normal operations include pruging of all lines with either methanol and/or nitrogen. Conse- quently, it is expected that the concentration of acrolein in the lines will not exceed .1 ppm (in air). The cleaning procedure refered to in phases 2-6 will be carried out as follows: Tank car will be disconnected. All lines described in phases 2-5 will be purged back to the 8000 gallon waste holding tank (8). Purging agent will be nitrogen and will be vented through the scrubber. -3- CLOSURE PLAN rage ~ o~ ~J 3. Fresh methanol, from the onsite methanol storage (3 & 5), is to be used to back flush all lines, except the plastic sodium bisulfite (6) line and tank system, to the 2500 gallon spent methanol tank (4) Approximately 200 gallons of methanol as gauged by the receiving tank (4) will be used. 4. Blow back nitrogen through the filling, washing and vent lines through the spent methanol tank (4) and waste holding tank (8) venting through the scrubber. 5. Empty (pump) spent methanol tank (4) contents directly to the waste holding tank (8). 6. Blow back all lines (except the plastic sodium bisulfite lines) with nitrogen to dry. 7. Drum off fresh methanol tank into DOT-approved drums; label for shipment. 8. Drum off sodium bisulfite into plastic DOT approved drums, label and make ready for shipment. 9. Backflush sodium bisulfite lines (plastic) and tank with approx- imately 40-50 gallons of water drum off for disposal. 10. Isolate all tanks by closing valves. 11. Waste transporter to empty waste holding tank. Before emptying cleaning solution waste a note should be made of the level. Drum off an equal volume of methanol for wash/rinse of waste holding tank (8). 12. Slowly sparge waste holding tank (8) with nitrogen for 15 minutes. 13. Backflush scrubber with approximately 50 gallons of water; drum off for disposal. 14. Offload waste holding tank to wast~ transporter (IT Corporation). 15. Open all lines, tanks to atmosphere for a minimum of 24 hours. During the "opening" the waste transporter's vacuum truck will be standing by on site should there be a "heel" in any of the storage tanks. Employee (worker) safety precautions during the phases 2-6 of closure will include the following: 1. All employees (workers) to wear impermeable, Tyvec-type chemical suits. 2. All employees (workers) to wear common PVC-type gloves and rubber boots. 3. When tapping into permanent lines with temporary hoses, chemical goggles will be used. 4. Each day permits to operate signed by the plant manager or project manager will be maintained and posted on job site. 5. At least two (2) fully charged SCBA (Scott Air Packs or approved facsimilie) will be maintained on site in case of emergency. The cleanout procedure has been designed whereby no lines will be broken until step No. 15 when all lines and tanks have been cleaned. The following dismantling procedure/precautions will be taken when dis- mantling the tanks (phase .7)? 1. When breaking open all lines, Tyvec-type suits, PVC-type gloves, rubber boots, and chemical goggles will be used. 2. Tanks will be dismantled only after they have been opened for at least 24 hours and ventilated for another 24 hours ¥ia an air horn, fan, etc. CLOSURE PLAN Page 5 of 13 3. Tanks shall not be moved or dismantled until they are tested for ., flammable atmosphere and show no more than 20% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). This test shall be supervised by the plant manager or project manager and shall be certified in writing. 4. Should welding on the tank shell be required,'all the precaution detailed in No. 3 above will be undertaken however, the atmosphere inside the tank shall test out at with no detectible reading. 5. All tanks, piping, etc. shall belifted and placed on a truck for transport to the new plant site. Phase eight (8) of closure shall consists of concrete and asphalt break- up and disposal. Unless otherwise stipulated and expressed or revised due to sampling results, the resulting waste will be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. Ce CLOSURE COST EXTIMATE The closure cost estimate for the facility is estimated to be $100,000. This estimate is based on the disposal of the maximum inventory of wastes that will be at the site during closure, generated from cleaning and shipped for offsite disposal. The following table summarized the closure costs by applicable activity. The closure cost estimate will be kept at Magna Corporation plant in Bakersfield. It will be revised when ever a change in the operation of the facility affects closure. ESTIMATED CLOSURE COSTS 1. Removal/disposal of final waste 2. Removal/disposal of solvent washings 3.

Curtis Manager, Risk & Regulatory Affairs Baker Performance Chemicals, Inc. 3920 Essex Lane Houston, TX 77227-7714 Dear Mr. Curtis: BAKER PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS (FORMERLY MAGNA CORPORATION) CLOSURE, KERN COUNTY, EPA I.D. #CAT000618728 The Department of Health Services (DHS) has carefully reviewed the Site Investigation Report submitted by Radian Corporation for the closure activities at the above-referenced facility. DHS has compared it with the Closure Plan approved in October, 1986, which was further clarified by your letter of February 20, 1987. There are several discrepancies between the Closure Plan and the Site Investigation Report, which were not explained by your letter. They are as follows: 1. Concrete and Asphalt Samples Acetone contamination was found in the asphalt sample at point A-3 (per the Site Investigation Report). The Closure Plan stipulates that surface soil samples taken at the same locations as the concrete/asphalt sampling would be analyzed if the concrete/asphalt samples were contaminated. This was not done. 2. Rail Car Unloadinq Area The Closure Plan stipulates two surface and two subsurface soil samples would be taken. It did not specify that only the surface samples would be analyzed. Laboratory results for only the surface soil samples were reported. 3. Drainaae Sump The Closure Plan.requires that subsurface sampling be done at one foot~ three feet; at the one-foot,depth.- Mr. J.A. Curtis -2- April 22, 1988 4. Backqround Samples The Closure Plan calls for both background samples to be taken off-site. One sample was taken on-site near a culvert that drained agricultural run-off into the Magna drainage sump. While it is true that this location would help characterize the contribution of off-site runoff, it would also be a location where contamination would be likely to be compounded (Magna wastes plus agricultural run-off), therefore raising background levels. The second background sample should have been taken off-site, as agreed upon in the Closure Plan. An off-site sample would still address agricultural contamination. 5. Potential Problem Areas Soil borings were to be taken at sample locations 11 and 12 as indicated on Figure 6 of the Closure Plan. This was not done. In addition to the deficiencies in the implementation of the Closure Plan, DHS has the following comments on the results of the testing. Acetone appeared in four subsurface samples; at one location (the drainage sump), acetone levels increased with increasing depths. Considering the samples were removed with a hand auger and transferred to bottles, it is surprising any volatiles appeared at all. This suggests acetone may be present in much higher levels than the analyses indicate. Furthermore, acetone appeared in the drainage ditch and drainage sump areas where we would not have expected acetone contamination (Magna did not include waste acetone as one of the waste streams disposed of in the drainage ditch/sump area). This suggests acetone contamination maybe more widespread than expected. A review of the Quality Assurance Project Plan by our Hazardous Materials Lab (HML) found that the Plan was inadequate, especiallY with regard to acrolein, methanol and. acetone testing. Please review the attached memo from HML dated April 5, 1988 for specific comments.' This raises questions about the validity of the analytical results of the soil sampling. In view of these deficiencies and the sampling results, we would like Baker Performance Chemicals to perform more sampling to further characterize the Magna site contamination. The areas that should be addressed specifically are: 1) the cleaning area and the sump nex~to-it at the ~eastern_ end_.of the property; .... · 2) the tank.area~_where waste acetone_wa~stored ~(there was no concrete base under, this-area)~; 3)-the waste burner area.~where ....... acetone was~pumped ~and the scrubber-area-;-~)-·~-the drainage~-_·-~ .... _ ditch/drain pipe area; and 5) the drainage sump. Mr. J.A. Curtis -3- April 22, 1988 Samples should be taken in at least two locations in each area at depths of 1', 5', 10', and 15'. An instrument that will maximize preservation of volatiles should be used for the sampling, such as a Shelby tube. Samples must be discrete, not composite, to preserve volatiles. The samples should be analyzed for acetone, acrolein, and methanol, using EPA Method 8240 (using direct injection rather than purge and trap for the methanol). These are the volatile contaminants generated by Magna that DHS would expect to find on the site. Please provide DHS with a workplan for further site characterization within 30 days of receipt of this letter. The workplan should include a site specific quality assurance/quality control section.

MEMORANDUM TO: Paul La Courreye, EPA Region IX, Site Screening Coordinator FROM: Robert Wise, Ecology & Environment, Inc. DATE: March 16, 1989 SUBJECT: Reevaluatio~ of the Preliminary Assessment of Magna Corporation, Bakersfield, California, Kern County, dated March 7, 1980 EPA ID ~: CAT000618728 THROUGH: Christine Houston, Ecology & Environment, Inc. COPY: FIT Master File Chris Lichens, Ecology & Environment, Inc. Steve Johnson, EPA Region IX Don Plain, California Department of Health Services, Sacramento William Pfister, Regional Water 0uantity Control Board, Fresno Ralph Huey, Bakersfield Fire Department, Hazardous Materials Unit Coordinator, Bakersfield Richard Casa Grande, Kern County Environmental Health, Bakersfield INTRODUCTION Under Technical Directive Document Number F9-8809-078, Ecology and Environment, Inc.'s Field Investigation Team (FIT) has been tasked to reassess all Preliminary Assessments (PAs) in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) with "active" or "pending" status according to guidelines established to implement the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). During the course of this reassessment process, PAs were identified that contained insufficient information to allow for an accurate reassessment. FIT has been subsequently directed to reevaluate and upgrade these PAs as needed to ensure that an accurate response determination is made. The strategy for determination of further action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) is based solely on each site's potential to achieve a score high enough on the Hazard Ranking System (HRS) for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). This strategy is intended to identify those sites posing the F089 highest relative risk to human health or the environment. Ail other sites needing remedial or enforcement follow-up will be referred to the State or an appropriate Federal agency. This site was evaluated primarily using the original HRS model. Additionally, this site was also evaluated for its potential to score using the proposed revised HRS model. The following is a summary of FIT's findings with regard to this site. SUMMARY The Magna Corporation (Magna) site is an abandoned 1.5 acre facility located on Pacheco Road approximately 2,000 feet east of Gosford Road, next to the Southern Pacific railroad spur (NE 1/4~ T 30S; R 25E; Sec. 20). North of the site (approximately 200 yards away) is a residential area, to the south and west are cotton fields, and to the east are private businesses. Magna Corporation is presently known as Baker Performance Chemical. The property is owned by the Southern Pacific Transportation Company located in San Francisco, California (1). A title search of the facility shows that a company known as Agrachem occupied the site in the 1940's (2). According to documents obtained from the California Department of Health Services (DOHS), Agrachem handled oily wastes'on-site. Magna Corporation operated an acrolein (pesticide) packaging plant at this location from 1974-1985. The site appeared to be abandoned during a DOHS drive-by on December 13, 1985 (noted in a DOHS Hazardous Waste Surveillance and Enforcement Report). Magna operated on RCRA interim status before its closure at an unknown date. On November 8, 1985 the Magna lost its interim status. Magna moved to the city of Taft after a spill of acrolein on May 26, 1985. Approximately 200 gallons of acrolein were released on-site. The potential for the migration of this material to air resulted in the evacuation of the surrounding residential neighborhoods (3). Magna's operations consisted of the containerization (in various sized pressure vessels) and distribution of acrolein, which arrived at the plant in bulk quantities via railroad tank cars (4). Wastes were generated when the acrolein containers were returned for refilling. Residual acrolein was removed from each container using a solvent wash (acetone or methanol) in preparation for the refill process. The waste solvent solution (contaminated with acrolein) was stored in an 8,000-gallon unpressurized steel tank which was vented to a scrubber unit (sodium bisulfide). The tank was located on a bermed concrete pad that was fitted with secondary containment (type unknown) (5). The wastes were accumulated for no more than 90 days before removal for disposal by IT Corporation. Approximately 2,500 gallons/month of waste solution and 300-350 gallons/month of scrubber solution were generated on-site. Prior to 1978, the scrubber waste was discharged to an on-site, unlined drainage sump. Prior to 1983, the waste solution was incinerated on-site (2). In addition to the wastes generated by Magna, an oily waste was discovered during an excavation for an on-site septic tank. The DOHS has speculated F089 that the waste may be associated with earlier oil drilling in the area. Soil samples taken by the Central Valley Regional Water 0uality Control Board (CVRWOCB) indicated the presence of mercapatans, chromates and other metals, as well as acrolein, in the soil. Only the acrolein can be attributed to Magna's operation (it is not known how the acrolein was released to the soil) (2). Under the supervision of the DOHS, Southern Pacific has contracted the Radian Corporation of Sacramento to commence remedial action at Magna. According to Ross Overbe, a Radian spokesman, aerial photos of the site prior to 1964 show the presence of a sump. It has been determined that the sump was 70'x 100' in area. However, Mr. Overbe stated that the sump probably was no more than a few feet deep (2). FIT conducted a drive-by imspection of the facility on October 10, 1988. The site was abandoned and unfenced. With the exception of some domestic garbage there was no visible waste on-site. The drainage sump was fenced, but did not appear to be filled or capped. There was some discolored soil near the railroad tracks but it is not known if it is attributable to the operations of Magna. The site presently consists of a fenced drainage sump, the foundations for several buildings, a truck loading ramp and a concrete vault. The nearest surface water to the site is the Stine Canal which is located approximately 2,000 feet southeast of the Magna facility (7). The Stine Canal is an agricultural delivery canal. The canal serves approximately 10,278 acres of land located downstream from the site. Surface water intakes start immediately south of Pacheco Road and continue in a number of locations south of the facility (8). The topography of the area has less than a one percent slope (7). The one-year, twenty-four hour rainfall is between 1.0-2.0 inches. Although a strong odor has been associated with the oily wastes found on-site (complaint to Kern County Environmental Health on February 11, 1980), no odor was noticed during the drive-by inspection. There are no analytical data documenting an observed release to air. It should be noted that mercapatans have been found in the soil (10). The closest well to Magna is within a quarter mile of the site. The well is perforated between 360-790 feet in the confined aquifer. The confined aquifer is a major drinking water aquifer. The unsaturated zone consists of loose sands, gravels and discontinuous layers of clay. According to officials from the California Water Service Company, the water from this well is blended, serving over 10,000 people with drinking water (11,12). A PA was completed by the EPA on March 7, 1980. The EPA recommended a site inspection be conducted due to the likelihood of hazardous wastes being present on-site. Magna Corporation appears to be eligiblefor inclusion on the National Priorities List based on the following HRS factors: (1) the distance to the nearest well (quarter mile); (2) the high permeability of the unsaturated zone (loose sands, gravels and clay lenses); (3) the groundwater targets (exceeding 10,000 people); (4) the surface water targets (10,278 irrigated acres); (5) the distance to surface water (less than 2,000 feet); (6) the toxicity of the waste (acrolein, mercapatans, F089 chromates, and other metals); (7) the quantity of waste (4,667 cubic yards of oily wastes and 2800 gallons of acrolein waste); (8) the proximity of the site to a major residential area; and (9) the documentation of soil contamination on-site. CONCLUSIONS Based on the following factors and a preliminary HRS screening estimate, Magna Corporation appears to be eligible for inclusion on the National Priorities List: o the distance to the nearest well (less than a quarter mile); o the permeability of the unsaturated zone (sands, clay lenses and gravels); o the groundwater targets (exceeding 10,000 people); o the surface water targets (approximately 10,278 irrigated acres); o distance to the nearest surface water (less than 2,000 feet); o the toxicity of the waste (acrolein, metals and mercapatans); and o the quantity of waste (approximately 4,667 cubic yards of oily waste and 2800 gallons of acrolein waste).

The property is leased by Magna from Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The hazardous waste management units include an incinerator, a burner feed tank and a temporary waste holding tank for spent methanol. The proposed Closure Plan requires the removal of the burner feed tank incinerator and associated piping with disposal at a Class I landfill. Samples will be collected from concrete and asphalt surfaces which had a potential for contact with acrolein, methanol, acetone or scrubber waters. Soil samples will be collected along a drainage pipe and in a run-off pond. Air samples will be collected to look for trapped volatiles under the asphalt prior to its removal.

Sincerely, Claudia Johansen Hazardous Material Specialist CJ;ms CJ3.086 cc: Mr. Joe Curtis, Magna Corp U.S. EPA Region IX, San Francisco Comments Properties of Chemicals Associated with Plant Operations Acrolein is registered in California for use as an aquatic herbicide in irrigation canals for food crops. Environmental fates are reviewed during the licensing process. Your point is well taken. Acrolein is a very toxic and flammable material in the gaseous form. Removal of Remaining Equipment The assumption is that the material on the bottom of the burner is asbestos and will be handled as such. Standard asbestos handling practices will be observed by the demolition contractor. Magna will provide, for review, the specific procedures when the contractor is hired. Removal of Concrete: Asphalt Surfacese 1. Dry sweeping is included in the plan prior to sampling. As the concrete and asphalt will be disposed of as a whole, a coring is the appropriate method of obtaining a sample for analysis. The sample location Rationale is now discussed in the sampling section. To have an adequate sample size at each of the sample locations three cores will be collected and composited. The plan has been modified to include DHS concurrance that no volatile gases are released that will endanger the public health. Should it be determined that there are volatile gases trapped by the concrete, a separate remedition plan must be developed dependent on the chemicals involved. Site Sampling The sample locations are adequate based on site visit information, written reports and photographs. Samples will not be composited exempt for pond water samples. -2- 3&4. Four samples will be taken as described in SW-846. Se Composite samples will not be taken except for the pond water. Two discrete samples at the surface and two at depth will be composited for the background to produce a single surface and a single depth sample. 6. Trip blanks will be used as described in SW-846. 7. To be provided under separate cover by Magna. Good point. Magna has been directed to use best judgement and knowledge of the facility history to locate exact sample points. DHS has approved the general location of each sample point based on visual inspection of the facility. Sample Preservation l&2. Magna Corporation has indicated sampling will follow SW-846 for all sampling and analysis of samples. Air Sampling l&2 This section of the plan has been modified to address sampling and analysis concerns of Kern County. Magna Corporation will analyze for constituents they previously handled at the facility. Duplicate samples will be collected for analysis by DHS laboratory. Rail Car Unloading Area l&2. Discrete samples will be collected as described in SW-846 Samples will be collected in a consistant manner beginning at 3.' 4. No compositing will be done. This has been addressed in a modification of the plan . Should contamination be found at the lowest depth a new remediation plan must be developed either by Magna or Southern Pacific Transportation depending on the nature of the contamination.

KennedyJenks Engineers SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION Magna Corporation (Magna), a wholly owned subsidiary of Baker International, operated an acrolein repackaginG plant in Bakersfield, California, between January 1974 and August 1985. The plant is located on Pacheco Road near the intersection of Gosford Road (see Figure 1) on property leased by Magna from the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. Magna initially submitted a proposed plan for closure of the plant to the Department of Health Services (DHS) in November 1983, followed by several revised plans, the latest dated July 1985. The DHS identified deficiencies in the July 1985 plan and requested that a revised Closure Plan incorporating their com- ments be submitted. Magna retained Kennedy/Jenks Engineers to prepare a final Closure Plan in accordance with DHS' comments and applicable state and federal regulations. A summary of the previous submittals by Magna, comments by the DHS, and related correspondence between Magna and the concerned regulatory agencies is presented below. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS SUBMITTALS AND CORR~.OND~NC~ Magna prepared and submitted to DHS on 3 November 1983, a draft Closure Plan for its acro!ein waste treatment facilities. E~uipment/faciiities covered by Magna's Part A Hazardous Waste Pe.~mit Application (see Apoendix B) included three storage tanks, one treatment tank (burner feed tank), and one treatment unit (waste burner or incinerator). Actually, two of the storage tanks (800 gallon and 3,000 gallon) listed on the cri~l~=~ oer?,!t app!ica~ion were process tanks and the one (8,000 gallon) was a temporary waste hciding tank which accmmu- !ated spent methanct for less than 90 days. Magna did not revise its_ De_~mit application, however, a letter =rcm = Magna documenting these corrections appears in Appendix B. The 3 November 1983 Closure Plan was ~mended in February 1985 based on a PHS request that Magna document its intention to forma!!v close the waste burner which was shut down in September 1983. in a letter to Magna dated 3 April 1985, the PHS outlined deficiencies in the February 1985 amended Closure Plan. Manna notified the DHS on 18 April 1985 of its intention to relocate the entire acrc!ein repackaging plant to a new site ISG-5! !-1 5094 :-:': I :'"' -MAGNA SITE WEE~ PATC:i~. ~ LAMONi N 0 5 10 Miles Kennedy/Jenks Engineers Magna Corporation Acrolein Repackaging Plant Site Location Map K/J 5094 October 1985 Figure 1 Kennedy Jenks Engineers southwest of Bakersfield. Magna requested permission to relo- cate the process and repackaging equipment immediately in order to minimize disruption of operations. In a letter dated 24 April 1985, the DHS stated that the process and repackaging equipment which was not associated with waste handling would not be subject to the Closure Plan and could be relocated prior to approval of the Closure Plan. These relocation activities were approved with the provision that the relocated equipment be decontaminated in accordance with the procedures in the draft Closure Plan and that any rinsewater be handled as hazardous waste. The DHS stated that equipment associated with the incinerator, rinsing operation, and venting operation was still subject to the approval of the Closure Plan. Magna submitted a revised Closure Plan (dated 25 July 1985) in response to the DHS's 3 April 1985 comments. A meeting to evaluate the closure process was conducted on 14 August 1985 at the Bakersfield site. Attendees included representatives of Magna, the PHS, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and Southern Pacific_Transportation Company (propertv owner). In a letter dated 26 August 1985, the RWQCB requested Magna to submit a historical review of past waste management practices at the site and a site contamination assessment plan by 1 November 1985. Hacna recues~ed approval to relocate the equipment associated with the rinsing and venting operation in a letter to the DHS dated 15 August 1985. In a letter dated 9 September 1985, the DHS approved the request to relocate this equipment subject to provisions as described in a letter dated 24 April 1985 for the process and repackaging ecuipment. The DHS's !e~ter also pres- ented the following five conditions for relocation of the rinsing and venting equipment: (1) Oni¥ the equiumen~ that is to be used at the new !cca- tion, for the same purpose as a% the present location, may be relocated prior to an approved Closure Plan; (2) The ecuipment is to be decontaminated in accordance with the procedures in the latest d~-ft~= of the Closure Plan; (3) An independent engineer registered in California cer- tifies that the ecuipment has been decontaminated in accordance with the draft Closure Plan; (4) Ail debris and rinse water shall be considered to be a hazardous waste, unless Magna can demonstrate it is nonhazardous, and will be managed as a hazardous waste; and Kennedy Llenks Engineers (5) Magna shall submit a statement to the DHS that the relocated equipment will be used in their present capacity and that operations will begin at the new location within 90 days of the enqineer's certification. The status of equipment relocation is presented in Section 3. Also, in DHS's letter dated 9 September 1985, the agency identified deficiencies in the draft Closure Plan (25 July 1985) and enclosed comments to be addressed. In this letter DHS also requested that the final Closure Plan include a detailed site soil sampling and analysis plan. OBJECTIVES OF CLOSURE PLAN This final Closure Plan is intended to replace the draft Closure Plan dated 25 July 1985. It has been prepared in accordance with the federal requirements of 40 CFR, Subpart G, Sections 265.111 through 265.115, and the state requirements of the California Administrative Code, Title 22, Chapter 30, Article 23. These requirements pertain to the closure of a hazardous waste management facility under interim status. In addition, this D!an has been prepared to incorporate the DHS requests and comments. The purpose of the final Closure Plan is to: O Present procedures for the final closure of the haz- ardcus waste manacement units which are currently under interim status, o Summarize the equipment relocation activities, and Present a soil s~...u!ing and analysis plan to dete~ine whether Magna opera~ions have resu!~ed in elevated levels of chemicals in si~e soils. ISG-5i 1-3 5094 SECTION 2 BACKGROUND Kennedy Jenks Engineers DESCRIPTION OF PLANT OPERATIONS Magna Corporation operated an acrolein repackaging plant in Bakersfield, California, between January 1974 and August 1985. The plant's primary operations were: (1) the repackaging of liquid acrolein from tank rail cars into pressurized containers, and (2) the cleaning of used containers. In addition, there was a spray paint operation for painting cleaned containers prior to reuse. The main operating areas were confined to the eastern portion of the property as shown in the plant layout on Figure 2. The plant operations are described below, followed by a discussion of resulting waste streams. Figure 2 should be referred to for the locations of the operating areas. A process flow sheet, showing all process tanks and streams, is presented on Figure 3. Tank Car Unloading Liquid acrolein arrived at the Magna facility in rail cars ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 gallons in capacity. Access to the unloading area was via a railroad spur at the eastern fence line. An acrolein fill line and a liquid nitrogen supply line were attached to corresponding valves on the tank car during the unloading operation. The liquid acrolein was transferred by ~ressurized nitrogen via the fill ~ne to the fi!!in~ area ~nv acrolein vaoors generated ~'~ ' ~u_ing the un!oad!n~ process were vented through a separate line to the scrubber. The licuid nitrogen supply was used to provide a blanket to the system for fire prevention, in addition, a line from the sodim~ bisui;~== +ank was connected to the unloading area for emergency dousing of any spills. Container Fii!inc Ooeration The container filling area was an open area located cna concrete platform. The containers to be filled, either 370 pound (net weight capacity) cylinders or 2,450 pound skid tanks, were placed under manifold systems on the platfo~r~. A manifold, to which several process lines were connected, was hooked up to the container to be filled. Containers were first bled of any natural gas remaining from cleaning operations with any gas being vented to the spent methanol tank. The containers were then purged with liquid nitrogen for twenty seconds and and the offgas was vented to the scrubber. The acrolein fill line was ISG-51 2-1 5094 Kennedy Jenks Engineers then opened. When the container was full, as determined by weight, and the filling line was closed, the fill manifold was blown back with nitrogen that was vented to the scrubber. All acrolein vapors generated during the filling process were also vented to the scrubber. Rinsing Operations Used cylinders and skid tanks were returned to the Magna facility, where they were rinsed, painted and reused. The rins- ing area was located adjacent to the filling area on an open concrete platform. Containers to be rinsed were placed under the rinsing manifold to which several process lines were con- nected. Containers were first bled of any residual vapors and vented to the scrubber. The containers were next charged with fresh methanol ~or twenty seconds, and then blown out with natural gas and the methanol is discharged to the spent methanol tank. Prior to 1983, acetone was used instead of methanol. Any excess pressure resulting from the natural gas purging was vented into the spent methanol tank. Paintino Operation Cleaned containers were taken to the spray paint booth. The containers were stripped of all tags and labels, spray painted, and then relabeled. All operations were performed manually. The painting area operated approximately eight hours per week. WASTE STREAMS AND DISPOSAL Pk%CTICES The two waste streams resulting from plant operations, spent scrubber sc!ution and spent methanol or acetone, are described below. Soent Scrubber Solution Acro!ein vapors generated during the unloading and ~ling ooerat~ _ _~ns were vented, via a closed system, to the scrubber. An aqueous 10% sodium bisu!fite solution was used to scrub the vented acro!ein vapors. The acroiein vapors react with the sodium bisu!fite to form the disodium salt solution cf !-hydroxypropane 1,3 disu!fonic acid. The spent scrubber solution therefore consists of this dilute acid in an aqueous sodium bisulfite solution. Approximately 300-350 gallons/month of the spent scrubber solution were generated during the plant's operating life. Since t983 this waste stream was packaged in 55 ca!!on containers and disposed at the Envirom~ental Protection Corporation Mountain Road disDosa! site in Bakersfield, California. Between 1978 and 1983, the spent scrubber solution ISG-51 2-2 5094 Kennedy;Jenks Engineers was drained into an opening in the underground drainage pipe that is located along the northern perimeter fence. This pipe connects to the drainage sump located in the western portion of the site (see Figure 2). Between 1974 and 1978, prior to the installation of the drainage pipe, the spent scrubber solution was released directly to the drainage ditch into which the pipe was later installed. This drainage ditch discharged into the drainage sump as described above. Spent Methanol/Acetone Methanol has been used since 1983 to rinse the acrolein containers. Spent methanol from the rinsing operation was discharged to the 3,300 gallon spent methanol tank. Prior to 1983, acetone was used for rinse operations. Approximately 2,500 gallons of spent methanol/acetone were generated per month. The spent methanol/acetone contains a maximum of 5% acrolein and a trace of the inert 'polymer of acrolein (po!y- acrylic) according to Magna representatives. Since 1983, the spent methanol was pumped into an 8,000 gallon waste holding tank and-'subseouent!y--pumDed out by IT Corporation for disposal at their Vine Hill facility in Martinez, California. Prior to 1983, the spent acetone was Dumped to the burner feed tank. The waste acetone was subsequently fed with a mix of natural gas to the waste burner. PROPERTIES OF CHEHICALS ASSOCIATED WITH PLANT OPERATIONS The major product chemical used at the Magna plant in Bakersfield was acroiein. In addition, sodium bisu!fite and methanc! (or acetone) were used as described above. Treatment of acro!ein vaoors in the scrubber using a 10 percent sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) aqueous solution rapidly form. s the acrclein- bisulfite adduct (the disodium salt solution cf !-hydroxy- propane-!,3-disulfonic acid) as shown on Figure 4. The follow- ing discussion presents a description of the envirom~enta! chemistry of acro!ein, the acrolein-bisulfite adduct, sodium bisulfite, acetone and methanol. This assessment is important for evaluating the chemical exposure risks at the Magna site and for developing a samD!ing and analysis plan for site closure. Acro!ein and Acrolein By-Products Acrolein, in a pure form, is a low boiling licuid (52.5°C boiling point) of moderate vapor pressure (0.35 atm at 25°C) and high water solubility (21%) in water. The DHS lists acrolein as an extremely hazardous substance due to its flammable nature and the toxicity (California Administrative Code, Title 22, Chapter 30, Article 9).

The chemistry of acrolein in water is very complex only because of the products formed and their subsequent mobility and degra- dation pathways. There is no available information on the chemistry of acrolein in soil. The following discussion pres- ents an assessment of the probable fate and mobility of acrolein in water, soil, and on concrete/asphalt surfaces based on its known chemistry. Water. Acrolein in dilute (less than 1,000 Dpm) aqueous solution undergoes a reversible reaction to give acrolein hydrate, (AH in Figure 4). This hydrate exists only in aqueous solution, and attempts to isolate acrolein hydrate would only regenerate acrolein itself (with loss of water). However, the literature indicates that the rate of hydration is slow (half- life for hydration is estimated as 21 days), and therefore some acro!ein will persist in water in the unhydrated form for some time. Literature data also indicate that at equilibrium 95 percent acrolein hydrate and 5 percent acrolein will be pres- ent. However, acro!ein in aquatic systems has been shown to have a half-life of only a few days. It is not clear whether the losses are due to hydration, volatilization, or biodegrada- tion (Ca!!ahan, et al., 1979). Several studies cited in this reference do show that acrolein is readily biodegraded in aqueous solutions but the products have not been identified. In more concentrated acrolein solutions, a number cf acrolein- related structures can be formed depending on the relative amounts cf acrolein, water and reaction conditions. These structures range from a few acrolein structural units (o!i- gomers) to Dc!yacrolein structures. There is no information on the ability cf these o!igomers to regenerate acro!ein, although such reactions are feasible. The acro!ein-bisul=ite= adduct is expected to be partially reversed through hydrc!ysis to form monosu!fonic acid (see Figure 4). The fo~--mation of monosu!fonic acid as a hydrolysis product is suggested by analogy to the classical purification of organic aldehydes where the aldehyde is first precipitated in concentrated bisu!fite solution as the bisu!fite adduct, the adduct removed as the salt, and the salt dissolved in water to regenerate the aldehyde. Althouch data are not available to estimate the rates of which the above reactions may occur in an aquatic system (such as in run-off water or in the drainage sump) acroiein and its products are low molecular weight chemicals with high water solubilities; ISG-5! 2-4 5094 KennedyJenks Engineers the effect of the sulfonic acid group enhances the solubility even more. Also, the facile biological oxidation of aldehydes, such as acrolein, to carboxylic acids would further increase the water solubility of the products discussed above. (The reac- tions of acrolein and the bisulfite adduct are summarized in Figure 4.) The high water solubilities of the acrolein products suggest they will readily leach into and through soil with water moving through soil. The high water solubilities of these chemicals also make any analyses for specific chemicals very difficult. Standard chemical analyses are not available for deterTnining the concentrations of these chemicals in water. However, their high water solubilities and chemical structures suggest that the chemical reaction products of acrolein should be relatively non-toxic at low concentrations. Therefore, the only probable environmental concern is general changes in water quality (i.e., oxygen consumption, high organic loadings). Soil. As shown above, the chemistry of acrolein is very complex in aqueous solutions and similar chemistry and products would be expected in soil/water systems. An additional reaction of acroiein in moist soil could be the binding of acroiein to soil via the mechanism shown below involving soil hydroxide groups. < CH2 = CHCHO + soil-OH --> soi!-O-CH2CH2CHO ACROLEIN The amount of acrolein bound to soil should be a function of soil moisture. Unless the release of acrolein from water satu- rated sci! is slow, binding cf acro!ein to soil should not be significant for affecting the mobility of acroiein and its Droducts in soil. However, the soil may provide an enviroD~ent for bacterial activity that degrades acroiein products. Concrete and AsDha!t Surfaces. Acro!ein spilled onto concrete in the aosence cf water would rapidly volatilize. Aqueous acro!ein sciutions spilled onto concrete would also volatilize because loss of water and acrclein would shift the acro!ein/ acro!ein hydrate equilibrium to produce more acrc!ein and water. Thus, the concrete and asphalt surfaces should have little, if any, residual acrc!ein that would be cause for concern. Any acro!ein that does po!ymerize on the concrete would be as a thin film on the concrete surface. Any unpo!y- merized acro!ein would have readily volatilized from the po!_v-mer; the acro!ein po!~er itself (or resin) is expected to have no toxicity because cf its high molecular weight. Acrc!ein suifonic acid products that may be on concrete are not considered to be a concern because of their expected low iSG-5! 2-5 5094 Kennedy Llenks Engineers toxicity. As described above, sulfonic acid/carboxylic acid structures shown in Figure 4 are very soluble in water, and as a class these acids are generally not toxic in dilute solutions. Therefore, any acrolein products left on concrete would be of little environmental concern as any surface water runoff which would extract the products would result in very dilute solutions. Sodium Bisu!fite Another major chemical used at the Magna site is sodium bisu!fite. Sodium bisulfite in aqueous solution (in soil or water) exists as a sodium ion and a su!fite ion species. Although somewhat stable, su!fite can be oxidized chemically and biologically under aerobic conditions to sulfate. However, should solutions of bisulfite contact anaerobic conditions in soils (such as may be possible in sump bottoms), reduction of su!fite to sulfide may occur. There are no data to indicate if any of these reactions are occurring at the site. Therefore, sulfate would be a useful indicator for evaluating the maximum penetration of surface chemicals into soil because it is very mobile with water. Methanol and Acetone Methanol and acetone are very soluble in water and somewhat biodegradable in soil and water. Also, small amounts of these solvents spilled onto soil or paved surfaces should be rapidly lost from the soil by volatilization. However, soil samoies will be anaivzed for m~hano! and acetone in areas where large amounts cf these chemicals may have been soilied to determine what amounts, if any, oA these sc!vents have persisted. STATUS OF EOU!PMENT RELOCATION = orocess tanks and equipment, except the waste bu~ne~ and burner 'feed tank were cleaned, dismantled, and transported by Magna to the new facility during the week of 2 September 1985. Procedures followed during the removal of this equipment are presented in Appendix A. included in Appendix A is a statement by Alton C. Enge!, an independent registered engineer, certify- ing that the equipment was handled in accordance with the proce- dures outlined in the draft Closure Plan dated 25 July 1985. The liquid wastes from the cleaning operations were transported to IT Corporation's Vine Hills facility in Hartinez. A copy of the hazardous waste manifest is also included in Appendix A. 2-6 5094 SECTION 3 PROCEDURE FOR FINAL PLANT CLOSURE Removal of Remaining Equipment The only waste handling equipment remaining on site are the waste burner and burner feed tank. The locations of these units are shown in Figure 5. Magna intends to dispose of this empty equipment as a hazardous waste in a Class I landfill. The 400-gallon capacity burner feed tank and associated piping will be pumped full of polyurethane foam to provide compressive strength so that this equipment can be landfilled with a minimal potential for subsidence. The material on the backside of the waste burner is suspected to be asbestos. The exposed six-by-seven-foot area on the backside of the waste burner should be sealed with a material approved by the Depart- ment and disposal site, to reduce the potential of release of the suspected asbestos material. After the application of the foam and sealant, a demolition contractor will remove the units from their concrete pads and load them onto a truck which is licensed for off-site transportation of hazardous wastes. The equipment will be transported with an accompanying hazardous waste manifest to the Casmalia Disposal site-in Santa Barbara County. Removal of Concrete and Asphalt Surfaces Approximately 70 percent of the total 1.5 acre site is paved with 2 inches of asphalt. All other areas are either paved with concrete or unpaved as shown in Figure 5. The process plant and most tanks were constructed on five-inch-thick concrete pads. These concrete slabs cover approximately 5,600 square feet of surface area. Figure 5 shows the areas which have surfaces of concrete and asphalt. Pursuant to 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 261.33, the following is a hazardous waste: any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill into or on any land or water of any commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate .having the generic name listed in paragraph (e) of this section which includesac~o_~_n.~ ~=~ Thus, if any water, soil, or concrete samples contain acrolein, disoosal at a Class I site will be required. If acrolein or sulfur is not detected or is not above background concentrations, the concrete or asohalt may be disposed of at a Class II site or Class Iii site upon approval by the Department or the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Initially, all asphalt and concrete surfaces will be dry-swooped and/or vacuumed to collect residues. This potentially contaminated collected residue will be placed in a container and transported off site to a Class I landfill along with the waste burner and burner feed tank. After the surfaces are swept clean, samples will be taken as outlined in Section 4. Before the asphalt and concrete are removed,.Magna Corporation and the Department of Health Services (DHS) will evaluate the analytical results to assure hazardous volatile materials will not be released. If the asphalt and concrete are not contaminated and no volatiles will be released, the demolition contractor will break up and remove the concrete slabs and asphalt surfaces. The paved areas at the site are estimated to consist of approximately 300 cubic yards of asphalt and 120 cubic yards of concrete. This construction rubble will be loaded onto trucks and transported to a Class III landfill located in Kern County, assuming the material is certified to be nonhazardous. Removal of Drain Pipe Approximately 370 feet of drain pipe connects the burner feed tank area to the drainage sump. If the pipe is determined by testing to be nonhazardous, it will be excavated and transported to a Class III landfill. Magna shall develop a contingency plan to provide for decontamination of the pipe or proper handling and disposal of the pipe, if contamination is found. Contingency Removal Plan Upon completion of the sampling and submittal of the analysis to DHS, if contamination of the site has occurred, as determined by the Department, Magna shall develop a more detailed sampling plan to assess the extent of contamination. A remedial action plan to remove all contaminated concrete, asphalt, and/or soil to a Class I landfill is as determined by the Department. If the soil contamination is determined not to be a result of Magna~s operation at the site, the.~landowner, Southern Pacific Transpornation Company, shall develop a remedial action plan as determined by the Deoartment. SECTION 4 SITE SAMPLING PLAN Objectives A postclosure plan is not required for the acrolein repackaging plant, since all wastes and facilities will have been removed off site. In order to determine whether Magna's operations at this facility resulted in elevated levels of chemicals in site soils, the sampling and analysis plan described below will be implemented. Sampling will be focused on those areas where, based on the plant operating procedures, chemical spillage may have occurred. These include the operating areas in the eastern portion of the site, as well as the drainage pipe and sump areas. It should be noted that all unloading,-filling, and rinsing operations occurred in a closed system. Only in the event of a break in the system was there a potential for spillage to occur. According to Magna represent- atives, only one major spill incident occurred at this facility. The incident, on May 26, 1985, involved an acrolein-filled skid tank which underwent pol.vmerization and ruptured. The spill occurred in the area between the office building and the filling area. Several local agencies were present at the site during spill cleanup operations. According to Magna, a representative of the Kern County Department of Public Health (KCDPH) collected a sample of runoff water from the spill area and acrolein was not detected in this sample. The soil sampling plan will also address DHS's concern that the site may have been used as a disposal site by previous occupants. Magna will conduct limited soil sampling in two areas where odor and visual observations have indicated that elevated levels of chemicals are potentially present in the soil. The purpose of this soil sampling will be to determine if chemicals utilized during ~lagna's operations are present and to provide a sample to DHS to identify any Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority pollutant chemicals. Soil Sampling Locations and Procedures Samole Preservation Ail samples Shall be properly sealed, iced immediately, and oreserved as suggested for each analysis. A field log shall be maintained by an inde- pendent engineer registered in California. The field log shall record the information delineated in Section 1 of the EPA publication SW-846, including how each samole was preserved. For each sample collected, the chain of custody shall be documented to ensure the integrity of the sample. Ten days prior to the beginning of sampling, notice will be given to DHS. During sampling, field duplicates shall be taken for every ten samples at a minimum. Eot liquid samples, field blanks and trip blanks shall be used. Sufficient samples shall be taken to provide split samples to DHS and other concerned agencies as requested. 4-1 Concrete and Asphalt Sampling Three core samples, at least two inches in diameter by two inches in depth, will be collected from the concrete pavement at three locations: waste burner, tank farm, and filling areas (Figure 6). Similar core samples will be collected from the asphalt surface at three locations in the process plant area around the waste units. The concrete and asphalt samples from each location will be analyzed for acrolein, sulfate, and sulfide. Soil samples will be collected at all concrete and asphalt sampling points at the three-to-six inch depth and held for analysis should the concrete or asphalt be found to be contaminated. Air Sampling Since there is a possibility that past disposal of hazardous waste has occurred at the site and because Magna employees have noted an odor both inside and outside of the buildings, there is concern that the concrete and asphalt surfaces may be acting as a cap for volatile compounds. Prior to the removal of the asphalt and concrete, Magna shall determine the composi- tion and concentration of any gases that may be generated at the site and whether the asphalt may be acting as a.cap trapping volatile compounds. Samples will be collected from under the asphalt at a minimum of two sample locations previously identified as probable emission sources. Fifty-liter samples will be collected on a Tenax tube in series with a charcoal absorbent tube. Magna will analyze for acroiein, methanol, and acetone. Duplicate samples will be provided to DHS to analyze by Thermal Desorbtion GC/MS analysis. Sampling holes will be plugged pending analytical results. Nagna and DHS will determine that a health or environmental hazard will not result from the removal of concrete and asphalt surfaces prior to beginning the removal by evaluating the analytical results. Rail Car Unioadin~ Area Soil samoles will be collected from the rail car unloading area in the area where the~_._o~o= hookuo_ was located (s==~ sampling locations 1 and 2 in Figure 6). two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected and transoorted to the Laboratory Division of Ke_~edy/Jenks Engineers. in addition, two subsurface soil samples will be collected at the same locations from a depth of three feet. Surface soil samples will be collected using steel hand trowels. Subsurface soil samples will be obtained by hand augering a borehote to the desired depth. A Veikmeyer sampler will then be used to retrieve an undisturbed plug of soil from the bottom of the auger hole. Soil samoles collected from this area will be analyzed for acrolein. Methanol and acetone were not handled in this area. 4-2 Waste Burner Area Two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected from the soils directly north of the waste burner, the direction of exhaust flow (see sampling location 3 in Figure 6). The soil samples will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, sulfate, sulfide, and acetone. Additional soil sample will be collected from the three-foot depth and held for analysis should sampling of the concrete pad in this area indicate levels of acrolein. Drainage Pipe Four three-foot sections of the four-inch cast iron pipe will be removed and rinsed with 500 ml of deionized water. The rinsate will be collected in the appropriate containers and analyzed for acrolein and sulfate. Sample locations will be selected to include any elbows and, at a minimum, the locations indicated on Figure 6 (4, 4a, 5, and 5a). Soil samples will be collected from areas along the route of the drainage pipe upon removal of the pipe. In the event that corrosion of the drainage pipe is noted during removal, the sampling locations will coincide with areas of possible pipe leakage. If corrosion is not observed, the approxi- mate sampling locations will be as shown on Figure 6 (sampling locations 4, 4a, 5, and Sa). Two discrete surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected and analyzed. In addition, two subsurface soil samples will be collected from a depth of three feet from the same locations. Sampling procedures will be as described above for the rail car unloading area. Soil samples collected from this area will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, and sulfide. Drainage Sumo Soil samples will be collected from underneath the drainage sump in order to determine whether chemicals discharged to the sump have migrated downward. ~ ~ be Prior to removal of the sump water, samples of the sump water ~._1~ taken and be analyzed for acrolein, sulfate, sulfide, pH, methanol, and acetone. To obtain represennative samo!es, a composite sample should be taken at the point of influen~, middle of the pond, and at the deepest end of the pond. The composite samples can be taken with ~a_ Co!iwasa or a thief (at least ~nree different depths -- top, middle, and bottom). If contaminants are detected, the water may be pumped into a temporary holding tank and analyzed further to determine proper disposal procedures. After removal of the sump water, soil samoles will be collected from the sump bottom and at depths of one foot, three feet, and six feet, if possible, using hand sampling devices. Samples will be collected by using a Veihmeyer sampler, as described above, for the rail car unloading area. Locations of sampling should be at the point of infiuent and deepest part of the sump, and surface samples should be taken at two sides. Each sample will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, sulfide, pH, and total organic carbon. 4-3 Other Unpaved Areas Two areas of significant size on the Magna are unpaved: the area surround- ing the water storage tank and the area surrounding the trailer in the southwest corner of the property (see Figure 5). Although neither acrolein repackaging nor waste disposal operations were conducted in these areas, surface runoff from other site areas may have contacted these areas. Therefore, two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected from each area (sampling locations 7, 8, 9, and 10, Figure 6). The soil samples will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfates, and sulfides. Background Two background samples will be collected adjacent to the site: one to the west, another to the east. Samples will be collected from the surface (three-to-six-inch depth) and from the three-foot depth at these locations using a hand auger and the Veihmeyer sampler. Surface samples analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, sulfide, pH, purgeable organics, and base, neutral, and acid extractable organics. Potential Problem Areas Related to.Past Site Activities Magna representatives have observed a tar-like material oozing up through the asphalt in a few locations in the parking area to the east of the office building. Approximately three years ago, during the installation of a new sewer line to the north of the office building, Magna reportedly encountered pieces of hard asphalt and pockets of tar-like material in the subsurface soils. In addition, Magna employees have noted an odor both outside and inside ~of their offices. These observations did not occur in areas of Magna~s acrolein repackaging operations nor are they characteristic of chemicals handled by Magna. DHS and RWQCB have speculated that previous occupants may have handled or disposed of asphalt and/or oily sludges at this site. A title search of the property found that between !946 and 1~8, a company called Agrachemica! handled what was described as oily sludges at this lo~=~zon. ~=gna will conduct TM ~+ ~ _~m~e~ soil sampling in two of these areas to determine the nature of potential contamination. If encountered, one sample will be collected of ~h~ oozing tar-like material in the area east of the office (sample location il in Figure 6). This sample will be collected by hand using a steel trowel, if it is not possible ~o locate the tar-like sub- stance using a trowel, a best judgement boring will be made. Also, a soil boring will be drilled adjacent to the north side of the office building (sample locations 1i and 12) where the detected odor appears to be origi- nating. A mobile drill rig equipped with a hollow stem auger will be used for the drilling operation. Samples will be retrieved using a California Modified Samoler with brass sleeve liners. Samples will be retrieved in 1S-inch secsions from the following depths: surface (below asphalt paving), 3 feet, 6 feet, 9 feet, and 15 feet. Should a clay layer common to the Bakersfield area be encountered, drilling will stop and the last sample 4-4 taken immediately above the layer. A portable organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will be used to take readings of the top six-inch sleeve. The entire six-inch sleeve will be submitted for analysis. If readings above background are observed, one section of the sample will be analyzed for acrolein, sulfide, and pH according to procedures outlined in the Analytical Procedures description below. The next section will be sealed and submitted to DHS for further characterization. The borehole will be backfilled after the drilling and sampling are completed with a cement, sand, and water grout (in proportions of 94 pounds of Class A cement, 85 pounds of 20-40 grade fractured sand, and 5.2 gallons of water) to the surface. Decontamination All hand sampling equipment (trowels, hand auger, Veihmeyer sampler) will be decontaminated before sampling at each location. Decontamination will consist of rinsing off visible soil particles with water, scrubbing in a laboratory-grade detergent solution, rinsing with deionized water, and air drying. All drilling equipment, including the auger, the sampler, and the brass sleeves, will be steam cleaned prior to each use and before removing from the site. All rinsate generated during decontamination of the sampling equipment shall be stored, handled, and treated as hazardous waste unless analysis.of the rinsate indicates otherwise. Sam?~e Containers Grab soil samples will be collected in 16-ounce glass jars with teflon- lined caps. Samples from the soil boring will be collected in brass sleeves and the sleeve ends covered with teflon sheets, capped with plastic caps, and sealed with tape. If water is present, the water samples from the sump pumping will be collected in both 40-ml VOA vials (without headspace), and in t-liter glass jars with teflon-lined caps. Ail samples will be placed in coolers, stored on ice, and shipped to the laboratory within 24 hours. Health and Safety Procedures Sampling personnel will wear Ts~ek suits, gloves, hardhats, and steel-toed boots, at a minimum, during sampling activities. During the drilling operation, an OVA will be used to monitor ambient air at the breathing zone of sampling personnel. In the event of elevated readings ( 5 ppm above background), full-face respirators with organic vapor cartridges will be donned by both drillers and sampling personnel. Analytical ~rocedures The soil and water samples collected will be analyzed in accordance with the standard methods outlined below. Soil samples to be analyzed for acrolein will be prepared and analyzed according to EPA Method 8030 (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, SW-846, 2nd Edition). Analysis is by a purge-and-trap gas chromatographic (GC) method using a flame ionization detector. The water sample will also be analvzed for acrotein by purge- and-trap GC in accordance with EPA Method 603 (~ederal Register, Vol. 45, 4-5 No. 209, October 1984). EPA Method 8015 (SW-846), which is also a purge- and-trap GC method, will be used to quantify methanol and acetone concentra- tions in water and soil samples. Soil samples will be extracted with deionized water and the extract analyzed for sulfate by the turbidimetric methods described in Method 426C (Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 16th Edition). Soil samples will be analyzed for sulfide according to Method 9030 (SW-846). Total organic carbon analyses will be in accordance with Method 505 (Standard Methods, 1984). Analysis of tar-like material and soil for purgeable organics will be in accordance with EPA Method 8240 (SW-846). Samples will be analyzed for base-neutral extractables according to Method 8270 (SW-846). Both methods follow gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) procedures. The core samples and samples of the tar-like material, taken as part of the effort to determine if there was past disposal at the site, shall be analyzed for the Appendix VIII constituents in 40 CFR, Part 261. The analytical procedures shall be as specified in the following or equivalent references: 1. Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste Physical/Chemical Methods, U. S. EPA, SW-846, Revised 1984. 2. Methods ~for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, U. S. EPA, EPA-600/4-79-020, March 1979. 3. Methods for Organic Chemical Analysis of Municipal and Industrial Wastewater, U. $. EPA, EPA-60/4-82-~57, July 1982. Ail sample analyses will be performed by a DHS-certified laboratory. The laboratory shall note and record the conditions of all samples received. To ensure the acceptable shelf life for each sample, as determined by the reauested analysgs, procedures should be established to ensure that any extraction and anaivsis of samples are conducted within specified acceptable time frames. Ail samples 'shall be analyzed as soon as possible to avoid exceeding the allowable shelf life of the sample. Data Reporting and Evaluation Magna will submit to DHS a report summarizing the sampling activities and the analytical results. The report will detail the sampling procedures as implemented and locations and depths of the samples taken. The laboratory performing the analyses will submit a report detailing the QA/QC program implemented by the laboratory. The analytical data will be evaluated in terms~ of environmental concerns. The sampling results will be compared to background sample results. 4-6 There are no criteria or goals for sulfate, sulfide, or total organic carbon in soil. These concentrations will be evaluated by comparison to background soil sample results. If acrolein is found above background, then remedial action levels will be set by the Department. If no contamination is found from Magna's operations or previous tenents, Magna will complete the closure by removing all asphalt, concrete, and equipment as outlined above. If there is no contamination from Magna's operations but some from previous tenants, Southern Pacific will prepare a remedial investigation plan to further characterize the contamination at the site. If there is contamination that is attributed to Magna' remedial investigation plan will be prepared by Magna. s operations alone, a If there is contamination from Magna and previous tenants, Magna and Southern Pacific will jointly prepare and conduct further site characterization. 4-7 SECTION 5 IMPLEmeNTATION OF CLOSURE PLAN Schedule Equipment relocation was conducted during the first week of September 1985 as discussed in Section 2. Table 5-1 presents a proposed schedule for closure according to this plan. The proposed schedule anticipates the completion of closure within 90 days after approval of the closure plan, assuming no modifications and/or unforeseen field problems. Estimated Costs The cost for closure in accordance with this plan, including sampling and analysis, is estimated to be $67,000. Table 5-2 presents the breakdown of these estimated costs. Certification of Closure %%en closure is completed, Magna will submit to DHS certification statements by a representative of Magna and an independent, professional engineer, registered in California, that the plant has been closed in accordance with the approved closure plan. The certification shall be accompanied by a report evaluating the data, summarizing what actually happened during the sampling and closure, and any necessary photographic documentation. 5-i Closure Process TABLE 5-1 PROPOSED CLOSURE SCKEDULE 1.

[TSC-34] 5-3 Potential Problem Areas Related to Past Site Activities e Who will make the determination that Magna Corporation is or is not responsible for contamination noted in this section? How will that determination be made? If the oozing tar-like material is noted in the area, it would be beneficial to take a hollow stem auger sample at that location in a manner similar to the sample taken at the point where odors originate. The section needs to state exactly where the 18" core samples will be taken. In the case of the 3 foot depth sample; will the sample be taken from 2'-3" to 3'-9" or 3'-0" to 4'-6"? After the borehole has been backfilled with bentonite, capping with concrete should be considered. Decontamination All equipment should be steam c~eaned after use as well as prior to use. Swipe samples off drilling equipment should be required to insure effective decontamination. Decontamination of sampling personnel should be addressed. How will rinsate off equipment be sampled? For what contaminants will it be analyzed? How often will field blanks be taken? Describe the procedure by which they will be taken. Health and Safety Proceda. es 1. Action levels need to be defined for upgrading levels of protection worn by s~mpling personnel. 2. Contingency plans to protect the public need to be addressed in the event that concrete and asphalt removal releases hazardous vapor~ . 3. Respiratory protection should be described for the removal of asbestos. 4. Protective equipment needs to be described more completely for all tasks. 5. A hydrogen sulfide monitor should be used while sampling in areas where sulfides may be present; especially while concrete and asphalt is being removed. Analytical Procedures Final selection of the laboratory will subject to the approval of the Department of Health Services or the Kern County Health Department. Data Repo~in~ and Evaluation Suggested action levels for acetone, methanol and acrolein on land seem entirely too high. In any event, ii will be the responsibility of state and local agencies t, define these goals. A~ndix C - Procedures e The sampling plan states duplicates will be taken at a 20% frequency. However, Appendix C states a frequency of 10% for duplicate sampling. Appendix C states that soil precision and accuracy data will be used to develop quality control charts for the lab. The small number of soil samples taken, the heavy use of compositing and duplicate sampling at only a 10% level will not produce enough data points to compile a reliable quality control chart. Conclusion In general, more detailed descriptions of sampling procedures and rationales are needed to determine the efficacy of this sampling plan. Health and safety and decontamination procedures also require more detail for the protection of sampling personnel. I{ is recommended that toxicity tests be conducted of the acrolein related compounds before they can be written off as non-toxic. NJ: aa MAGNA CORPORATION 7505 Farmin · Box 33387 · Houston, Texas 77033 [713) 795-4270 · Telex: 76-2330 MAGNA Cable: Magna March 11, 1986 ,-:, ~, -~ Department of Health Services '~ ,-:~ Toxic Substances Control Division 4250 Power Inn Road Sacramento, California 95826 ":~c:':, ATTN: Ms. Claudia Evans RE: Magna Corporation, Acrolein Repackaging Facility~ Bakersfield, California - CAT 000618728 Dear Ms. Evans: This is in response to the Department's submission of February 12, 1986 and followup to my letter February 21, 1986 to your Mr. Randy Marx. There are significant ppints of disagreement with the Department's comments. Listed below'is a line by line response to the Department's submittal (changes). 86-3-1 86-3-2 Magna Corporation assumes that Section 1 and Section 2 '(Entitled Introduction and Background, respectively) are approved as written. Section 3. Comments: A. Removal of Remaining Equipment Magna Corporation feels that any effort to dislodge or remove the material suspected to be asbestos would serve to unnecessarily increase the risk of release of the material in question to the surrounding workplace environment and is unacceptable. Magna suggests that the original wording and intents of the 10/85 closure plan be adopted. B. Removal of Concrete and Asphalt Surfaces As indicated in numerous conversations and meetings between Magna and DOHS personnel, Magna Corporation will only be responsible for those volatile materials that were handled'by Magna Corporation at the site. The list of these materials is well documented and has been defined from the onset: acrolein, methanol, acetone and sodium bisulfite (10%). To intimate that Magna Corporation is responsible for past environmental practices of the landowners, previous leasees or occupants is not appropriate and unacceptable. The last sentence of the submission refers to analyzing for acrolein, sulfate and sulfide. The comment is not accompanied with a method (protocol) for analysis which presents a qualification problem. Moreover, and more importantly, sulfates and sulfide are naturally occurring in asphalt. It is unreasonable to expect Magna Corporation to analyze for compounds which are a natural occurrance of asphalt formulations. Acrolein being a structurally simple hydrocarbon, can also occur in asphalt; to take this in account, Magna proposes a trigger level to qualify the data. Magna, therefore, proposes the original 10/85 submission be reinstated, f The last sentence of the last paragraph of "Removal of Concrete and Asphalt Surfaces", the Department refers to a certification of the nonhazardous nature of the "construction rubble" It is unclear as to who certifies and by what method or criteria, certification is realized. This type of operating assumption is unacceptable. In the Manna Corporation submission of October, 1985, it is very clear as to the laboratory protocol used and the criteria by which the data is to be judged. Removal of Drain Pipe Inherent in the WET procedure proposed by Magna is a rinsing/extract analysis (for acrolein, EPA Method Number 603). The DOHS proposal to analyze for sulfates is puzzling as sulfates are naturally occurring and are not listed as hazardous (waste) in Title 22, Division 4 regulations. Magna Corporation sees no reason to change the substance of the original 10/85 submission. DOHS addition of new section entitled "Contingency Removal Plan". Magna Corporation does not accept any possibility of an assignment to assess the extent of contamination as it relates to compounds/contaminants other than those Magna Corporation handled during the tenure of its occupancy at the site. To do otherwise is unacceptable and not in the spirit of the discussions we have had in the past with members of the Department. In J. T. Allen's (DOHS) letter of 2/10/86 to J. A. Curtis (Magna), Mr. Allen speaks to Magna Corporation's remedial action responsibility for thos "wastestreams associated with the handling of acrolein at the site". Magna Corporation agrees with his assessment in this respect and feels that the closure plan should reflect such. If the TLCs, detailed in the 10/85 proposal, are exceeded for any substances handled by Magna Corporation (see 86-3-2C), then incumbent to this determination, a remedial action plan would be embarked upon by Magna Corporation. We will not, however, engage in any program to develop a plan to remediate any soil contamination or alleged contamination not associated with Magna operations. 86-3-3 Section 4. Comments. A. Objectives The Department's submission omitted the last sentence of the last paragraph of this section. This is unacceptable to Magna Corporation. We respectively request the following, sentence be reinstated: "The extent and origin of any chemicals detected which are not attributable to Magna's operations will not be investigated." Soil Sampling Locations and Procedures for Sample Preservation Magna Corporation shall comply with the comments contained in the first paragraph of this section. Whereas, Magna has no problem in providing duplicate samples to bonafide concerned agencies, Magna does request that those agencies step forward within ten (i0) days of our notice to DOHS to implement the Plan. Magna Corporation will not be responsible for maintaining "iced" split samples indefinitely. Magna Corporation sees no reason to take duplicate samples every five (5) samples where normal practice indicates duplicates every ten (10) samples is appropriate. We respectively request the above change. C. Air Sampling As dealt with before in this correspondence (86-3-2C), Magna cannot be responsible for determining the composition of the "volatile compounds" described. Magna's objective as it relates to suspected subsurface contamination is simply to obtain analytical data supporting our contention that no contamination exists of which Magna operations is responsible. Magna Corporation's intent is to be fully responsible for those health and/or environmental hazards that may exist as a result of Magn's operations. However, we cannot take responsibility for other's past practices which may or may not present a public health hazard. Should an in-depth air study be needed by the Department to fulfill its responsiblity, Magna would like to suggest that either the land owner, previous leasee(s) or the Department's own experts respond to this concern. D. Waste Burner Area The section includes analysis requirements for two additional radicals: sulfate and sulfide. Magna Corporation can see no rationale behind adding these analyses. Magna would like to suggest that the acrolein, methanol and acetone be the compounds sought after. E. Drainage Pipe Area Soil analytes included the additions of sulfide radicals as well as pH determination. Magna would like an explanation of the rationale'for this change. Magna Corporations feels the original 10/85 submission is adequate. F. Drainage Sump In the third sentence, the submission asks for analysis of sulfur compounds. Magna Corporation would like to have those sulfur compounds referred to specified. Additionally, there is a brief description of the sampling method; Magna would like those points of sampling detailed in Figure 6 (Diagram of Proposed Sampling Locations). To hold water that contains small amounts of me£hanol and/or acetone is not acceptabl~ to Magna Corporation. Magna, in its 10/85 submission to DOHS, provided a verifiable criteria for determination of hazardous characteristics. Magna requests the DOHS modify its stance along reasonable lines, wither based on EPA's "Multimedia Evnironmental Goals for Environmental Assessment" as was Magna's basis or another recognized professional standard. Magna sees no useful purpose in sampling the soil at the bottom, of the sump at all locations of water samples. It follows that should contamination exists, one would expect it to be on a line from the influent point to the deepest point in the sump. Magna suggests a single sample be taken along this line and analyzed per. the standards listed in page 4-5 of Magna's 10/85 submission to DOHS. G. Background Magna Corporation disagrees with the DOHS request to provide four (4) separate background samples. More appropriately, two (2) sample locations--one west and another east of the plant site--will be composited and analyzed for 'acrolein, methanol, acetOne, sulfate, sulfide, pH and total organic carbon. Magna sees 'no reason for metals analysis, as it is not material in this case. Magna Corporation at no time has handled any metals. Potential Problem Areas Related to Past Site Activities. In the second paragraph, the text refers to sample location 11 as located in the area east of the office building. In the following sentence, the text refers to a bore sample located on the north side of the building (Sample location 11 and 12). It should be understood that sample location 11 is a surface sample and sample location 12 is a boring sample. Only two, not three, samples will be taken. Second, and referring to the soil sampling protocol, we see no advantage in going down in excess of 9 feet. Magna has found that going deeper than 9 feet runs the risk of impinging on a natural clay cap that lies 1§-2§ feet down in some areas of Bakersfield. Magna feels this is an unwise risk to take. We feel the surface, 3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet levels are appropriate. Third, Magna sees no rationale for submitting the entire 18 inch sleeve for analysis. The mud 6-inch section is operationally and statistically more appropriate in that it is subject to less handling errors. Fourth, attached is a list of Appendix VIII constituents. It is unreasonable to expect Magna Corporation to be subject to such a characterization protocol. If PID readings are in excess of thos observed in the background samples, the Magna will proceed to analyze for purfeable organics as well as base-neutral and acid extractables, acrolein, sulfide and pH. In no case, does Magna agree to analyze for all Appendix VIII compounds, total organics and all metals. Not speaking to the appropriateness of requiring analysis of Appendix VI'II compounds, total organics and metal requests, it is difficult to apply Magna's responsibility in this case to a fishing list so extensive. I. Decontamination This change is accepted provided DOHS gives Magna Corporation a protocol for analysis of rinsate to determine its regulated nature. The text submitted continues to discuss metal analysis which Magna feels is not material to the Magna-DOHS relationship at hand. Continued references to the Appendix VIII compounds are inappropriate for reasons stated above. J. Data Reporting and Evaluation Magna Corporation accepts the DOHS comment to provide a job summary detailing sampling procedures and the QA/QC program implemented by the laboratory. Page 9 of the DOHS comment is marked out. It is not clear whether this page is deleted or remains. Magna Corporation requires a clarification on this point. Magna assumes all other sections of the submitted plan meets with DOHS approval. It is the intention of Magna Corporation to respond to applicable State and Federal regulations in an environmentally responsible manner. To this end, we respectively ask DOHS to approve the above comments, so to enable Magna to close the site in an expedient manner. Regards, J. A.

The plant is located on Pacheco Road near the intersection ~f Gosford Road (see Figure I) on property leased by Manna from Uhe Southern Pacific Transportation Company. Magna initially submitted a proposed plan for closure of the plant to the Department of Health Services (DHS) in November 1983, followed by several revised plans, the latest dated July 1985. The PHS identified deficiencies in the July !985 plan and requested that a revised Closure Plan incorporating their com- ments be submitted. Magna retained Kennedy/Jenks Engineers to prepare a final Closure Plan in accordance with DHS' comments and applicable state and federal regulations. A summary of the previous submittals by Magna, comments by the PHS, and related correspondence between Magna and the concerned regulatory agencies is presented below. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS SUBMITTALS AND CORRESPONDENCE Magna prepared and submitted to PHS on 3 November 1983, a draft Closure Plan for its acrolein waste treatment facilities. Equipment/facilities covered by Magna's Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application (see Appendix B) included three storage tanks, one treatment tank (burner feed tank), and one treatment unit (waste burner or incinerator). Actual!v, two of the storage tanks (800 gallon and 3,000 gallon) listed on the original Der mit application were process tanks and the one (8,000 gallon) was a temporary waste holding tank which accumu- lated spent methanol for !ess than 90 days. Magna did not revise its permit application, however, a letter from Magna documenting these corrections appears in Appendix B. The 3 November 1983 Closure Plan was amended in February 1985 based on a DHS request that Magna document ius intention to formally close the waste burner which was shut down in September 1983. In a letter to Magna dated 3 April 1985, the DHS outlined deficiencies in the February !985 amended Closure Plan. Mauna notified the PHS on 18 April 1985 of its intention to relocate the entire acrolein repackaging plant to a new site ISG-5! 1-i 5094 MAGNA SITE ~D N 10 Miles ,J Kennedy/Jenks Engineers Magna CorporaTion Acrolein Repackag,ng Plant Site Location Map K/J 5094 OctoDer 1985 Figure I Kennedy Jenks Engineers southwest of Bakersfield. Magna requested permission to relc- cate the process and re~acka~in~ equipment immediately in or, er to minimize disruption of operations. In a letter dated 24 April 1985, the PHS stated that the process and repackaging equipment which was not associated with waste handling would not be suDject ~o ~he Closure Plan and could be relocated prior ~o approval of the Closure Plan. These relocation activities were approved with the ~rovision that the relocated equipment be decontaminated in accordance with the procedures in the draf% Closure Plan and that any rinsewater be handled as hazardous waste. The DHS stated tha~ equipment associated with tke incinerator, rinsinq operation, and venting operation was still subject to the approval of the Closure Plan. Maqna submitted a revised Closure Plan (dated 25 July 1985) in response to the DHS's 3 April 1985 comments. A meeting to evaluate the closure process was conducted on 14 August 1985 at the Bakersfield site. Attendees included representatives of Manna, the PHS, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and Southern Pacific Transportation Company (DroQertv owner). In a letter dated 26 August 1985, the RWQCB requested Magna to submit a historical review of past waste management practices at the site and a site contamination assessment plan by ! November 1985. Manna recues~ed approval to relocate the ecuiDment associated with the rinsing and venting o~eration in a letter tc the PHS dated 15 August 1985. In a letter dated 9 September 1985, the PHS approved the request to relocate this equipment subject to provisions as described in a letter dated 24 April 1985 for ~he process and repackaging equipment. The DHS's letter also pres- ented the fo!!owin~ five conditions for relocation of the rinsing and venting ecuiDment: (I) Only the equipment that is to be used at the new loca- tion, for the same purpose as at the present location, may be relocated prior to an approved Closure Plan; (2) The e~uiDment is to be decontaminated in accordance with the procedures in the latest draft of the Clcsure Plan; (3) An independent engineer registered in California cer- tifies chat the eouiDment has been decontaminated in accordance with the draft Closure Plan; (4) Ail debris and rinse water shall be considered to be a hazardous waste, unless Magna can demonstrate it is nonhazardous, and will be managed as a hazardous waste; and iSG-51 1-2 5094 Kennedy Jenks Engineers (5) Magna shall suDmit a statement to the DES that the relocated ecuipment will be used in their presen~ capacity and that operations will begin at the new location within 90 days of the engineer's certification. The status of equipment relocation is presented in Section 3. Also, in DHS's letter dated 9 September 1985, the agency identified deficiencies in the draft Closure Plan (25 July 1985) and enclosed comments to be addressed. In this letter PHS also requested that the final Closure Plan include a detailed site soil sampling and analysis plan. OBJECTIVES OF CLOSURE PLAN This final Closure Plan is intended to replace the draft Closure Plan dated 25 July 1985. It has been orepared in accordance with the federal requirements of 40 CFR, Subpart G, Sections 265.111 through 265.115, and the state requirements of the California Administrative Code, Title 22, Chapter 30, Article 23. These recuirements pertain to the closure of a hazardous waste management facility under interim status. In addition, this Dian has been prepared to incorporate the PHS requests and commen~s. The Purpose of the final Closure Plan is to: O Present procedures for the final closure of the haz- ardous waste management units which are currently under interim status, o Summarize the equipment relocation activities, and O Present a soil samo!in~ and analysis plan to determine whether Magna operations have resulted in elevated levels of chemicals in site soils. ISG-5! 1-3 5094 I(ennedy Jenks Engineers SECTION 2 BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION OF PLANT OPERATIONS Macna Corporation operated an acrolein repackaging plant in Bakersfield, California, between January 1974 and August 1985'. The plan~'s primary operations were: (1) the repackaging of !icuid acrolein from tank rail cars into pressurized containers, and (2) the cleaning of used containers. In addition, there was a spray paint operation for painting cleaned containers prior to reuse. The main operating areas were confined to the eastern portion of the property as shown in the plant layout on Figure 2. The plant operations are described below, followed by a discussion of resulting waste Streams. Figure 2 should be referred to for the locations of the operating areas. A process flow sheet, showing all process tanks and streams, is presented on Figure 3. Tank Car Un!oadinc Liquid acro!ein arrived at the Manna faci!itv in rail cars ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 gallons in capacity. Access to the unloading area was via a railroad spur at the eastern fence line. An acrolein fill line and a liquid nitrogen supply line were attached to corresponding valves on the tank car during the unloading operation. The liquid acrolein was transferred by pressurized nitrogen via the fill line to the filling area. Any acroiein vapors generated during the unloading process were vented through a separate line to the scrubber. The licuid nitrogen supply was used to provide a blanket to the system for fire prevention. In addition, a line from the sodium bisu!fite tank was connected to the unloading area for emergency dousinc of any spills. Container Fi!!inc Operation The container filling area was an open area located on a concrete platform. The containers to be filled, either 370 pound (net weight capacity) cylinders or 2,450 pound skid tanks, were placed under manifold systems on the platform. A manifold, to which several process lines were connected, was hooked up to the container to be filled. Containers were first bled of any natural gas remaining from cleaning operations with any gas being vented to the spent methanol tank. The containers were then pureed with !icuid nitrogen for twenty seconds and and the offGas was vented to the scrubber. The acrolein fill line was ISG-51 2-1 5094 Centedine of Railroad perimeter Fence.r'~.~ ~ ~.. Dock Drainage Sumo 8 Ft.

When the container was full, as determined by weight, and the filling line was closed, the fill manifold was blown back with nitrogen that was re'hied to the scrubber. All acrolein vapors venerated during the filling process were also vented to the scrubber. Rinsinc Ooerations Used cylinders and skid tanks were returned to the Magna facility, where they were rinsed, painted and reused. The rins- ing area was located adjacent to the filling area on an open concrete platform. Containers to be rinsed were placed under the rinsing manifold to which several process lines were con- nected. Containers were first bled of any residual vapors and vented to the scrubber. The containers were next charged with fresh methanol ~or twenty seconds, and then blown out with natural gas and the methanol is discharged to the spent methanol tank. Prior to 1983, acetone was used instead of methanol. Any excess pressure resulting from the natural gas purging was vented into the spent methanol tank. Paintinc Ooeration Cleaned containers were taken to the spray paint booth. The containers were stripped of all tags and labels, spray painted, and then re!abeled. Al! operations were performed manually. The painting area operated approximately eight hours per week. WASTE c-~=~MC_~..~ ~ AND D!SPCSAL PRACTICES The two waste streams resulting from plant operations, spent scrubber solution and spent methanol or acetone, are described below. Soent Scrubber Solution Acro!ein vapors generated during the unloading and filling operations were vented, via a closed system, to the scrubber. An acueous 10% sodium bisu!fite solution was used to scrub the vented acrolein vapors. The acro!ein vapors react with the sodium bisulfite to form the disodium salt solution of 1-hydroxypropane 1,3 disulfonic acid. The spent scrubber solution therefore consists of this dilute acid in an acueous sodium bisuifite solution. Approximately 300-350 gallons/month of the spent scrubber solution were generated during the plant's operating life. Since !983 this waste stream was packaged in 55 gallon containers and disoosed at the Environmental Protection Corocration Mountain Road disposal site in Bakersfield, California. Between 1978 and 1983, the spent scrubber solution ISG-~i 2-2 5094 Kennedy Jenks Engineers was drained into an opening in the underground drainage pipe that is located along the northern p. erimeter fence. This oipe connects to the drainage sump located in the western portion of the site (see Figure 2). Between !974 and 1978, prior to ~he installation of the drainage pipe, the spent scrubber solution was released directly to the drainage ditch into which the pipe was later installed. This drainage ditch discharged into drainage sump as described above. Soent Methanol/Acetone 'Methanol has been used since !983 to rinse the acro!ein containers. Spent methanol from the rinsing operation was discharqed to the 3,300 gallon spent methanol tank. Prior to 1983, acetone was used for rinse operations. Aoproximate!v 2,500 gallons of spent methanol/acetone were generated per month. The soent methanol/acetone contains a maximum of 5% acrolein and a trace of the inert po!?-mer of acrolein (poiy- acrylic) according to Magna representatives. Since !983, the spent methanol was pumped into an 8,000 gallon waste holding tank and subsequently pumoed out by IT CorPoration for disoosal at their Vine Hill faci!it? in Martinez, California. Prior to 1983, the spent acetone was pumped to the burner feed tank. The waste acetone was subsequently fed with a mix of natural gas to the waste burner. - ~ T ~ ~ROPERTIES OF CHEMICALS .=SSOC_A~D WITH PLANT OPERATIONS The major product chemical used at the Magna plant in Bakersfield was acrolein. In addition, sodium bisu!fite and methanol (or acetone) were used as described above. Treatment of acroiein vapors in the scrubber using a 10 percent sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) aqueous solution rapidly forms the acrolein- bisu!fite adduct (the disodium salt solution of !-hvdroxv- propane-l,3-disulfonic acid) as shown on Figure 4. The follow- ing discussion presents a description of the environmental chemistry of acro!ein, the acrolein-bisu!fite adduct, sodium bisulfite, acetone and methanol. This assessment is important for evaluating the chemical exposure risks at the Magna site and for developing a sampling and analysis plan for site closure. Acro!ein and Acrolein By-Products Acrolein, in a pure form..,, is a low boiling iicuid (52.5~C boiling point) of moderate vapor pressure (0.35 a~ at 25:C) and high water solubility (2i%) in water. The PHS lists acrolein as an extremely hazardous substance due to its flammable nature and the toxicity (California Administrative Code, Title 22, Chapter 30, Article 9). However, its high water solubility and ISG-5! 2-3 5094 ACROLz ~N CH2 OXi DAT!ON = CH2CO2H < . , CH2 = CH 2CHO H20 > ,, HOCH2CH2CHO (< ACRYLIC ACiD ACROLEIN ACROLEiN HYDRATE (AH) NaHSO~ (SODIUM BiSULFITE) OH t Na+-O3SCH2CH2-C-H D!SOD!UM SALT'SOLUT!ON OF !-HYDROXYPROPANE-1,3-DiSULFONIC (ACROLEIN-BISULFITE ADDUCT) O1 igcners OXIDATION CH2CO2H MALONiC ACID ACID H20 o " OXIDATION Na+-O3SCH2CH2 C-H > 3-sulfo-orooana!

The chemistry of acrolein in water is very complex only because of the products formed and their subsequent mobility and degra- dation pathways. There is no available information on the chemistry of acrolein in soil. The following discussion pres- ents an assessment of the probable fate and mobility of acrolein in water, soil, and on concrete/asphalt surfaces based on its known chemistry. Water. Acro!ein in dilute (less than 1,000 ppm) aqueous soiu:ion undergoes a reversible reaction to give acrolein hydrate, (AH in Figure 4). This hydrate exists on!v in aqueous solution, and attempts to isolate acrolein hydrate would only regenerate acrolein itself (with loss of water). However, the literature indicates that the rate of hydration is slow (half- life for hydration is estimated as 21 days), and therefore some acroiein will persist in water in the unhydrated form for some time. Literature data also indicate that at equilibrium 95 percent acrolein hydrate and 5 percent acrotein will be pres- ent. However, acro!ein in aquatic systems has been shown to have a half-life of only a few days. It is not clear whether ' the losses are due to hydration, volatilization, or biodegrada- tion (Ca!!ahan, et al., 1979). Several studies cited in this reference do show that acro!ein is readily biodegraded in aqueous solutions but the products have not been identified. In more concentrated acrolein solutions, a number of acrolein- related structures can be formed depending on the relative amounts of acrolein, water and reaction conditions. These structures range from a few acrolein structural units (oli- gomers) to po!yacrotein structures. There is no information on the ability of these o!igomers to regenerate acroiein, although such reactions are feasible. The acrolein-bisulfite adduct is expected to be partially reversed through hydrolysis to form monosulfonic acid (see Fig'hre 4). The formation of monosu!fonic acid as a hydrolysis product is suggested by analogy to the classical purification of organic aldehydes where the aldehyde is first precipitated in concentrated bisulfite solution as the bisulfite adduct, the adduct removed as the salt, and the salt dissolved in water to recenerate the aldehyde. Althouch data are not available to estimate the rates of which the above reactions may occur in an aquatic system (such as in run-off water or in the drainage sumD) acrolein and its products are low molecular weight chemicals with high water solubilities; ISG-5! 2-4 5094 Kennedy Jenks Engineers the effect of the sulfonic acid group enhances the solubility even more. Also, the facile biological oxidation of aldehydes, such as acrolein, to carboxy!ic acids would further increase the water solubility of the products discussed above. (The reac- tions of acrolein and the bisuifite adduct are summarized in Figure 4. ) The hi_~h water solubilities of the acrolein products suggest they will readily leach into and through soil with water moving through soil. The high wa:er solubilities of these chemicals also make any analyses for specific chemicals very difficult. Standard chemical analyses are not available for determining the concentrations of these chemicals in wa~er. However, their high water solubilities and chemical structures suggest that the chemical reaction products of acrolein should be relatively non-toxic at low concentrations. Therefore, the only probable environmental concern is general changes in water quality (i.e., oxygen consumption, high organic loadings). Soil. As shown above, the chemistry of acrolein is very complex in aqueous solutions and similar chemistry and products would be expected in soil/water systems. An additional reaction of acroiein in moist soil could be the binding of acro!ein to soil via the mechanism shown below involving soil hydroxide groups. CH2 = CHCHO + soil-OH < ' i> soi!-O-CH2CH2CHO ACROLEIN The amount of acrolein bound to soil should be a function of soil moisture. Unless the release of acrolein from water satu- rated soil is slow, binding of acroiein to soil should not be significant for affecting the mobility of acrotein and its products in soil. However, the soil may provide an environment for bacterial activity that de.~rades acrolein products. Concrete and Asoha!t Surfaces. Acro!ein spilled onto concrete in the absence of water would rapidly volatilize. Aqueous acroiein solutions smi!!ed onto concrete would also volatilize because loss of water and acrolein would shift the acrolein/ acro!ein hydrate eaui!ibrium to produce more acroiein and water. Thus, the concrete and asDnait surfaces should have little, if any, residual acrolein that would be cause for concern. Any acrolein that does polymerize on the concrete would be as a thin film on the concrete surface. Any unpoly- merized acrolein would have readily volatilized from the polymer; the acrolein polymer itself (or resin) is expected to have no toxicity because of its high molecular weight. Acrc!ein sulfonic acid products that may be on concrete are not considered to be a concern because of their expected low SG-5 _ 5094 Kennedy Jenks Engineer-. toxicity. AS described above, sulfonic acid/carboxy!ic acid structures shown in Figure 4 are very soluble in water, and _-== a class these acids are generally not toxic in dilute $olusions. Therefore, any acrolein products left on concrete would be of little environmental concern as any surface water runoff which would extract the products would result in very dilute solutions. Sodium Bisu!fite Another major chemical used at the Magna site is sodium bisu!fite. Sodium bisulfite in aqueous solution (in soil or water) exists as a sodium ion and a sulfite ion species. Although somewhat stable, su!fite can be oxidized chemically and biologically under aerobic conditions to sulfate. However, should solutions of bisulfite contact anaerobic conditions in Soils (such as may be possible in sump bottoms), 'reduce_ion of su!fite to sulfide may occur. There are no data to indicate if any of these reactions are occurring at the site. Therefore, sulfate would be a useful indicator for evaluating the maximum penetration of surface chemicals into soil because it is very mobile with water. Methanol and Acetone Methanol and acetone are very soluble in water and somewhat biodegradaD!e in soil and water. Also, small amounts of these solvents spilled onto soil or paved surfaces should be rapidly lost from the soil Dy volatilization. However, soil samples will be analyzed for methanol and acetone in areas where large amounts of these chemicals may have been spilled to determine what amounts, if any, of these solvents have persisted. STATUS OF EOU!PMENT RELOCATION Ail process tanks and equipment, except the waste burner and burner.'feed tank were cleaned, dismantled, and transported by Magna to the new facility during the week of 2 September 1985. Procedures followed during the removal of this equipment are presented in Appendix A. Included in Appendix A is a statement by Alton C. Enge!, an independent registered engineer, certify- ing that the equipment was handled in accordance with the proce- dures outlined in the draft Closure Plan dated 25 July 1985. The liquid wastes from the cleaning operations were transported to IT CorDoration's Vine Hills facility in Martinez. A copy of the hazardous waste manifest is also included in Appendix A. 2-6 5094 SECTION 3 PROCEDURE FOR FINAL PLANT CLOSURE Removal of Remaining Eq~ipment The only waste handling equipment remaining on site are the waste burner and burner feed tank. The locations of these units are shown in Figure 5. Magna intends to dispose of this empty equipment as a hazardous waste in a Class I landfill. The 400-gallon capacity burner feed tank and associated piping will be pumped full of polyurethane foam to provide compressive strength so that this equipment can be landfilled with a minimal potential for subsidence. If any material on the backside of the waste burner is suspected to be asbestos, an attempt should be made to safely and properly remove the material and place the material in Sealed, properly labeled, nonreturnable containers for disposal at an approved Class I or Class II site. If removal is not possible, the exposed six-by-seven-foot area on the backside of the waste burner should be sealed with a material approved by the Department and disposal site, to reduce the potential of release of the suspected asbestos material. After the removal of the asbestos and application of the foam or sealant, a demolition contractor will remove the ~nits from their concrete pads and load them onto a truck which is licensed for off-site transportation of hazardous wastes. The equipment will be transported with an accompanying hazardous waste manifest to the Casmalia Disposal site in Santa Barbara County. Removal of Concrete and Asphalt Surfaces Approximately 70 percent of the total 1.5 acre site is paved with 2 inches of asphalt. Ail other areas are either paved with concrete or unpaved as shown in Figure 5. The process plant and most tanks were constructed on five-inch-thick concrete pads. These concrete slabs cover approximately 5,600 square feet of surface area. Figure 5 shows the areas which have surfaces of concrete and asphalt. Upon ~lagna's determination that removal of the concrete and asphalt surfaces will not result in releases of volatile materials, all on-site concrete and asphalt pavement is to be removed and disposed of at an off-site landfill. Three core samples, at least two inches in diameter by two inches in depth, will be collected from the concrete pavement at three locations: waste burner, tank farm, and filling areas. Similar core samples will be collected from the asphalt surface at three locations in the process plant area around the waste units. The concrete and asphalt samples from each location will be composited and analyzed for acrolein, sulfate, and sulfide. Pursua~t to 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 261.33, the following is a hazardous waste: any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill into or on any land or water of any commercial chemical prod~ct or manuf~cturir~g chemical immediate having the generic name listed in paragraph (e) of this section which includes acrolein. Thus, if any water, soil, or concrete samples contain acrolein, disposal at a Class I site will be required. If acrolein or sulfur is not detected or is not above background concentrations, the concrete or asphalt may be disposed of at a Class II site or Class III site upon approval by the Department or the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Initially, all asphalt and concrete surfaces will be dry-sweeped and/or vacuumed to collect residues. This potentially contaminated collected residue will be placed in a container and transported off-site to a Class I landfill along with the waste burner and burner feed tank. After the surfaces are swept clean, the demolition contractor will break up and 'remove the concrete slabs and asphalt surfaces. The paved areas at the site are estimated to consist of approximately 300 cubic yards of asphalt and 120 cubic yards of concrete. This construction rubble will be loaded onto trucks and transported to a Class III landfill located in Kern County, assuming the material is certified to be nonhazardous. Removal of Drain Pipe Approximately 370 feet of drain pipe connects the burner feed tank area to the drainage sump. A section of this 4-inch diameter cast iron pipe will be triple rinsed, with the rinse analyzed for acrolein and sulfate. If the pipe is determined by testing to be nonhazardous, it will be excavated and transported to a Class III landfill. Magna shall develop a contingency plan to provide for decontamination of the pipe or proper handling and disposal of the pipe, if contamination is found. Contingency Removal P!~n Upon completion of the sampling and submittal of the analysis to the Depart- ment of Health Services (DHS), if contamination of the site has occurred, as determined by the Department, Magna shall develop a more detailed sampling plan to assess the extent of contamination. A remedial action plan to remove all contaminated concrete, asphalt, and/or soil to a Class I landfill is as determined by the Department. If the soil contamination is determined not to be a result of Magna~s operation at the site, the landowner, Southern Pacific Transportation Company, shall develop a remedial action plan as determined by the Department. -2- SECTION 4 SITE SAMPLING PLAN Objective~ A posiclosure plan is not required for the acrolein repackaging plant, since all wastes and facilities will have been removed off site. In order to determine whether Magna's operations at this facility resulted in elevated levels of chemicals in site soils, the sampling and analysis plan described below will be implemented. Sampling will be focused on those areas where, based on the plant operating procedures, chemical spillage may have occurred. These include the operating areas in the eastern portion of the site, as well'as the drainage pipe and sump areas. It should be noted that all unloading, filling, and rinsing operations occurred in a closed system. Only in the event of a break in the system was there a potential for spillage to occur. According to Magna represent- atives, only one major spill incident occurred at this facility. The incident,. on May 26, 1985, involved an acrolein-filled skid tank which underwent polymerization and ruptured. The spill occurred in the area between the office puilding and the filling area. Several local agencies were present at the site during spill cleanup operations. According to Magna, a repre- sentative of the Kern County Department of Public Health (KCDPH) collected a sample of runoff water from the soill area and acrolein was not detected inthis sample. The soil sampling plan will also address DHS's concern that the site mav have been used as a disposal site by previous occupants. Magna will co~duct limited soil sampling in two areas where odor and visual observations have indicated that elevated levels of chemicals are potentially present in the soil. The purpose of this soil sampling will be to determine if chemicals utilized during Magna's operations are present and to identify any Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority pollutant chemicals. Soil Sampling Locations and Procedures Sample Preservation Ail samples shall be properly sealed, iced i,~ediately, and be preserved as suggested for each analysis. A field log shall be maintained by an inde- pendent engineer registered in California. The field log shall record the information delineated in Section 1 of the EPA publication SW-$46, including how each sample was preserved. ~or each sample collected, the chain of custody shall be documented to ensure the integrity of the sample. During sampling, field duplicates shall be taken for every five samptes, and for liquid samples, a field blank shall be taken. Sufficient samples s~alt be taken to provide split samples to DHS and other concerned agencies as requested. -3- CenteHine of Railroad..-~ j~..--_-_ --_ Centerline of Railroad ~,/-- Drain Pipe (4 inches diameter ) F~ x~x--i---X x---i~- x---.Z----x-- __ -x ~-----~ x~-._X___ ~ _ ~~ _ ~_ _ ~ ~ _~ ~-~ ~x ' '~c ~ ~ ~ 5~ 5a ~1 ~8 4 -~3 4a ~/ I ""'""" "~ [ / ,~0,, I ~' W.,,.~ ...... ~n I / I x ck x · ' ~ -- x ~Do ¥ 'Draina~ I Water S~or~e I / X ~1 I -- ~ I Pacheco Road Cmbllne ~ Perimeter Fence N 60 0 60 Legend k · Concrete/Asphalt Core Sample Locations Scale: 1 Inch - 60 Feet (~) Soil Sample Locations Note: -~ Water Sample Location This figure has been prepared from Magna Corporation's drawim3s of the Acrolein Repackaging Plant 112/20/84~ and the Development Plan (9/25/79).

Konnotly/Jonk~ En~inunrG Magna Corporation Acroleln Itepackaging Planl Proposed Sampling Locations K/J 5094 October 1985 Figure 6 Air Sampling Since there is a possibility that past disposal of hazardous waste has occurred at the site, because Magna employees have noted an odor both inside and outside of the buildings, there is concern that the concrete and asphalt surfaces may be acting as a cap for volatile compounds. Prior to the removal of the asphalt and concrete, ~lagna shall determine the composi- tion~ and concentration of any gases that may be genersted at the site and wh~ther the asphalt may be acting as a cap trapping volatile compounds. Various sampling methods have been used to characterize gases from landfills. These methods may be used to determine the composition of any gases volatil- izing from beneath the site to the office and underneath the asphalt. The methods include taking grab samples with an evacuated flask, Tedlar bags, and canisters or integrated samples using impingers, sorbent traps, canisters, or Tedlar bags. A potential problem with taking grab samples is that the concentration of specific compounds in the sample mav be lower than the detection limit of the aqalytical method. Integrated samples may, in some cases, by concentrating the samples, allow the compounds to be detected. In addition, there are also procedures available to concentrate the samples in the laboratory. Magna will determine that a health or environmental hazard will not result from the removal of concrete and asphalt surfaces. Rail Car Unloading Area Soil samples will be collected from the rail car unloading area in the area where the pipe hookup was located (see sampling locations 1 and 2 in Figure 6). Two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected and transported to the Laboratorv Division of Kennedy/Jenks Engineers. These soil samples will be composited in the laboratory prior to analysis. In addition, two subsurface soil ~;amples will be collected at the same locations from a depth of three feet and composited in a similar manner prior to analysis. Surface soil samples will be collected using steel hand trowels. Subsurface soil samples will be obtained by hand augering a borehole to the desired depth. A Veihmeyer sampler will then be used to retrieve an undisturbed plug of soil from the bottom of the auger hole. Soil samples collected from this area will be analvzed for acrotein. ~lethanol and acetone were not handled in this area. Waste Burner Area Two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected from the soils directly north of the waste burner (see sampling location 3 in Figure 6). A composite of these samples will be prepared in the laboratory and subsequently analyzed. The composite soil sample will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, sulfate, sulfide, and acetone, in the event that -4- sampling of the concrete pad in this area indicates levels of acrolein, an additional soil sample will be collected from the three-foot depth. Drainage Pipe Area Samples will be collected from areas along the route of the drainage pipe upon removal of the pipe. In the event that corrosion of the drainage pipe is noted during removal, the sampling locations will coincide with areas of possible pipe leakage. If corrosion is not observed, the approximate sampling locations will be as shown on Figure 6 (sampling locations 4, 4a, 5, and 5a). Two discrete surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected and analyzed. In addition, two subsurface soil samples will be collected, from a depth of three feet from the same locations. Sampling procedures will be as described above for the rail car unloading area. Soil samples collected from this area will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, sulfide, and pH. Drainage Sump Soil samples will be collected from underneath the drainage sump in order to determine whether chemicals discharged to the sump have potentially migrated downward. To facilitate soil sampling, any water in the drainage sump will first be pumped out. Prior to removal of the sump water, samples of the sump water will be taken and be analyzed for acrolein, sulfur com- pounds, pH, methanol, and acetone. To obtain representative samples, a composite sample should be taken at the point of influent, middle of the pond, and at the deepest end of the pond. The composite samples can be taken with the Coliwasa or a thief (at least three different depths -- top, middle, and bottom). There are no state or federal water quality standards or criteria established for methanol or acetone. If any is detected, the water will be pumped into a temporary holding tank and analyzed further to determine proper disposal procedures. After removal of the sump water at each location of sampling, soil samples will be collected from the sump bottom and at depths of one foot~ three feet, and six feet, if possible, using hand sampling devices. Samples will be collected by using a Veihmeyer sampler, as described above, for the rail car unloading area. Locations of sampling shonld be at the point of influent and deepest part of the sump, and surface samples should be taken at two sides. Samples will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, sulfide, pH, and total organic carbon. Other Unpaved Areas Two areas of significant size on the Magna are unpaved: the area surround- ing the water storage tank and the area surrounding the trailer in the southwest corner of the property (see Figure 5). Although neither acrolein repackaging nor waste disposal operations were conducted in these areas, surface runoff from other site areas may have potentially contacted these areas. Therefore, two surface soil samples (three-to-six-inch depth) will be collected from each area (sampling locations 7, $, 9, and i0, Figure 6). -5- The two soil samples from each area will be composited in the laboratory prior to analysis. The two composite soil samples will be analyzed for acrolein, methanol, and acetone. Background Four background sampling locations adjacent to the site will be selected. Samples.will be taken at off-site north, west, east, and south of the facility. Soil samples will be collected from the surface (three-to-six- inch depth) and a three-foot depth at this location using a [land auger and the Veihmeyer sampler. Samples will be analyzed for acrotein, methanol, acetone, sulfate, sulfide, pH, metals, and total organic carbon. Potential Problem Areas Related to Past Site Activities Magna representatives have observed a tar-like material oozing up through the asphalt in a few locations in the parking area to the east of the office building. Approximately three years ago, during the installation of a new sewer line to the north of the office building, Magna r~portedly encountered pieces of hard asphalt anu pockets of tar-like material in the subsurface soils. In addition, Magna employees have noted an odor both outside and inside of their offices. These observations did not occur in areas of Magna's acrotein repackaging operations nor are they characteristic of chemicals handled by Magna. DHS and RWQCB have speculated that previous occupants may have handled or disposed of asphalt and/or oily sludges at this site. A title search of the property found that between 1946 and 1948, a company called Agrachemical handled what was described as oily sludges at this location. ~Iagna will conduct limited soil sampling in two of these areas to determine the nature of potential contamination. If encountered, one sample will be collected of the oozing tar-like material in the area east of the office' (sample location ll in Figure 6). This sample will be collected by hand using a steel trowel. Also, a soil boring will be drilled adjacent to the north side of the office building (sample locations i] and 12) where the detected odor appears to be originating. A mobile drill rig equipped with a hollow stem auger will be used for the drilling opera, riot. Sample~ will be retrieved using a California Modified Sampler with brass sleeve liners. Samples will be retrieved in 18-inch sections from the following depths: surface (below asphalt paving), 3 feet, 6 feet, 9 feet. and 15 feet. A portable organic vapor analvzer (OVA) will be used to take read(ngs of the top 6-inch sleeve, each 1S-inch section. The entire sleeve will be submitted for analvsis. If readings above background are observed, one section of the sample will be analyzed for the Appendix VIII constituents. Ail samples will be analyzed for base-neutral and acid extractables, acrolein, sulfide, pH, total organics, and all metals according to procedures outlined in the Analytical Procedures description below. The boreho]e will be backfitled after the drilling and sampling are completed wiih be~tonite to the surface. -6- Decontamination Ail hand sampling equipment (trowels, hand auger, Veihmeyer sampler) will be decontaminated before sampling at each location. Decontamination will consist of rinsing off visible soil particles with water, scrubbing in a laboratory-grade detergent solution, rinsing with deionized water, and air drying. Ail drilling equipment, including the auger, the sampler and the brass sleeves, will be steam cleaned prior to use. Ail rinsate generated during decontamination of the sampling equipment, shall be stored, handled, and treated as hazardous waste unless analysis of the rinsate indicates otherwise. Sample Containers Grab soil samples will be collected in 16-ounce glass jars with teflon- lined caps. Samples from the soil boring will be collected in brass sleeves and the sleeve ends covered with teflon sheets, capped with plastic caps, and sealed with tape. If water is present, the water sample from the sump pumping will be collected in both a 40 ml sample vial (without headspace), and in an 8-ounce glass jar with teflon-lined cap. All samples will be placed in coolers, stored on ice, and shipped to the laboratory within 24 hours. Health and Safety Procedures Sampling personnel will wear Tvvec suits, gloves, hardhats, and steel-toed boots, at a minimum, during sampling activities. During the drilling operation, an OVA will be used to monitor ambient air at the breathing zone of sampling personnel. In the event of elevated readings, full-face respira- tors with organic vapor cartridges wi]] be donned bv both drillers and sampling personnel. Analytical Procedures The soil and water samples collected will be analyzed in accordance with the standard methods outlined below. Soil samples to be analyzed for acroiein will be prepared and analyzed according to EPA Method 8030 (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, SW-846, 2nd Edition). Analysis is by a purge-and-trap gas chromatographic (GC) method using a flame ionization detector. The water sample will also be analyzed for acrolein bv purge- and-trap GC in accordance with EPA Method 603 (Federal Register, Vol. 45, No. 209, October 1984). EPA Method 8015 (SW-846), which is also a purge- and-trap GC method, will be used to quantify methanol and acetone concentra- tions in water and soil samples. Soil samples will be extracted with deionized water and the extract analyzed for sulfate by the turbidimetric methods described in Mgthod 426C (Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, ]6th Edition). Soil samples will be analyzed for sulfide according to >iethod 9030 (SW-846). %oral organic carbon analyses will be in accordance wi~ch ~lethod 505 (Standard Methods, 1984). -7- Analysis of tar-like material and soil for purgeable organics will be in accordance with EPA Method 8240 (SW-846)' Samples will be analyzed for base-neutral extractables according to Method 8270 (SW-846). Both methods follow gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) procedures. All soil samples will be analyzed for all metals according to Section 7 of SW-846. The core samples and samples of the tar-like material, taken as part of the effort to determine if there was past disposal at the site, shall be analyzed for the Appendix VIII constituents in 40 CFR, Part 261. The analytical procedures shall be as specified in the following or equivalent references: 1. Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste Physical/Chemical Methods, U. S. EPA, SW-846, Revised 1984. 2. 'Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, U. S. EPA, EPA- 600/4-79-020, March 1979. o Methods for Organic Chemical Analysis of Municipal and Industrial Wastewater, U. S. EPA, EPA-60/4-82-057, July ]982. Ail sample analyses will be performed by an experienced laboratory with a well established and documented quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. As a minimum, the laboratory shall adhere to the procedures and criteria in Section 10 of EPA SW-846 for maintaining an adequate QA/QC program. The QA/QC program should provide for replicate samples, spiked samples, use of reference samples (if available), internal standards, daily calibration of equipment, blank runs, and the analvses of reagents used for extracting or preserving samples to verify the purity of the reagent. The laboratory shall note and record the conditions of all samples received. To ensure the acceptable shelf life for each sample, as determined by the requested analyses, procedures should be established to ensure that any extraction and analysis of samples are conducted within specified acceptable time frames. Ail samples shall be analyzed as soon as possible to avoid _xc__dzn= the allowable shelf life of the sample. Data Reporting and Evaluation Magna will submit to DHS a report summarizing the sampling activities and the analytical results. The report will detail the sampling procedures as implemented and locations and depths of the samples taken. The laboratory performing the analyses will submit a report detailing the QA/QC program implemented by the laboratory. The ana!vtical data will be evaluated in terms of environmental concerns. The sampling results ~ilt be compared to the goals proposed below and to background sample results. -8- The suggested action level for methanol and acetone in soil are EPA's multimedia ambient environmental goals.fo~ these chemicals ("Multimedia Environmental Goals for Environmental"~Assessment'', Volume III, EPA, 1979). Based on ecological effects, the'J'mbient level goals for both methanol and acetone on land is 10,000...mg/kg. This goal is developed by multiplying the ambient water goals .by"'a standard factor of 200. We suggest that an action level for....a~lein in soil be established using this same general approach. Bas~' on the ambient water quality criteria for protection of human h~a~i'~ of 320 ug/1 (refer to Section 3), the recommended action level soil is 64 in mg/kg a'C-rolein · There are no criteria or goals for sulfate, sulfide, or total organic carbon in soil. These concentrations will be evaluated by comparison to background soil sample results. SECTION 5 IMPLEP~NTATION OF CLOSURE PLAN Schedule Equipment relocation was conducted during the first week of Seotember 1985 as discussed in Section 2. Table 5-1 presents a proposed schedule for closure according to this plan. The proposed schedule anticipates the completion of closure within 90 days after approval of the closure plan, assuming no modifications and/or unforeseen field problems. Estimated Costs The cost for closure in accordance with this plan, including sampling and analysis, is estimated to be $67,000. Table 5-2 presents the breakdown of these estimated costs. Certification of Closure When closure is completed, Magna will submit to DHS certification statements by a representative of Magn~ a~ld ~1 ir~de~,endent, professional engi~eer? registered in California, that the plant has been closed in accordance with the approved closure plan. -10- TABLE 5-1 PROPOSED CLOSI~E SCI~DULE Closure Process Proposed Schedule 1.

Magna proceeded with relocation of all equipment to their new facility, with the exception of the burner feed tank and the waste burner. Kennedy/Jenks Engineers was not involved with or present during these relocat- ing activities. The inspecting engineer was Alton C. Engei of Alton C. Enge! and Company.

In addition, a certification from the inspecting engineer present during implementation of the outlined procedures is presented herein. iSG-51 A-1 5094 KennedyJenks Engineers EQUIPMENT CLEANING AND DISMANTLING PROCEDURES (FROM 25 JULY 1985 CLOSURE PLAN) Cleaning of the piping involved in the filling, rinsing, and venting operations will be accomplished by flushing said lines and tanks with methanol. The cleaning procedure is considered redundant by Magna as normal operations include purging of al! lines with either methanol and/or nitrogen· Consequently, it is expected that the concentration of acrolein in the lines will not exceed .1 ppm (in air). The cleaning procedure will be carried out as follows: !. Tank car will be disconnected. Ail filling, rinsing, and venting pipes will be pur~ed back to the 8,000 gallon waste holding tank. Purging agent will be nitrogen and will be vented through the scruDber. Fresh methanol, from the onsite methanol storage tank, is to be used to back flush all lines, except the plastic sodium bisulfite line and tank system, to the 2,500 gallon spent methanol tank. Approximately 200 ua!lons of methanol as gauged by the receiving tank will be used. Blow back nitrogen through the filling, washing and vent lines through the spent methanol tank and waste holding tank venting through the scrubber. Empty (pump) spent methanol tank contents directly to the waste holding tank. Blow back all lines (except the plastic sodium bisulfite lines) with nitrogen to dry. Drum off fresh methanol tank into DOT-approved drums; label for shipment. Drum off sodium bisulfite into plastic DOT approved drums, label and make ready for shipment. Backflush sodium bisulfite lines (plastic) and tank with approximately 40-50 gallons of water drum off for disposal. !0. Isolate all tanks by closing valves. ISG-51 A-2 5094 KennedyJenks Engineem il.

Gi n: Upon examination of the original RCRA, Part-A permit, it was .discovered that vessels/processes other than those used in the waste management system were inadvertently included on the Form (EPA Form 3510-3). Specifically, those vessels/processes included in the waste management system are: 1. Line number three {3) - describes the incinerator burning capacity {maximum) at 120 gallon/hr. Furthermore, the said incinerator is described in Figure 2 as the "waste burner". 2. Line number four {4) - describes the burner feed tank whose capacity was 400 gallons. The capacity (180 gallons) as stated in the permit is incorrect. This particular tank is labeled in Figure 2 as (equip- ment indentification) number 2.. The other tanks included on the form are process vessels only and have.no role in the treatment, storage and/or disposal of hazardous waste.

These procedures cover all aspects of sample handling, analysis and data handling and reporting. Chain-of-custody procedures will be followed to ensure that sample integrity is maintained and that samples are collected, identified, transported and analyzed properly. The personnel collecting the samples will complete a chain-of-custody form Which lists the date and time of collection, source and type of sample, name of person collecting sample~ and other pertinent information. All samples delivered for analysis will be acccm- panied by the chain-of-custody form which will be signed by the receiving laboratory and retained in the laboratory files. Procedures in .accordance with EPA methods for ensuring precision and accuracy of the laboratory analyses, will be followed. As a precision measurement, a duplicate core will be taken from ten percent of the soil samples. As an accuracy measurement, ten percent of soil samples will be spiked with representative analytes in the laboratory prior to analysis. Percent recovery will then be calculated. Since specific precision and accuracy limits have not been set by the EPA for the analysis of com- ipounds in soil, precision and accuracy values will be compared .to the limits established for water samples. However, due to soil matrix effects, attainment of water precision and accuracy limits is not generally possible in soil samples. Thus, soil precision and accuracy data will be used in developing quality control charts to aid the laboratory manager in judging acceptable performance.

This request is in response to our discussion of November 19, 1985, concerning the lack of a cost effective device to obtain the desired monitoring and alarming results. Magna has searched for an effective instrument that will respond to acrolein vapors. Only two companies have offered to quote one that covers the ranges you specified. Neither has field experience in acrolein and both are too costly. Magna will continue to search for an instrument to fit our conditions both for the safety of our personnel and in response to your concern. It is our contention that the use of a person periodically covering the area downwind of our containers and railroad car is better than an instrument because small spills or leaks can be detected as low as 0.21ppm by smell or watering of eyes. The dangerous level of exposure to acrolein is 5ppm or more; and a person cannot stand to be in that concentration long enough to be affected by acrolein. Therefore, a person patrolling the area and smelling acrolein is much more effective than a stationary instrument that may or may not be directly downwind from a leak or spill. Magna will use a watchman's time clock and install key stations on the perimeter such that under varying wind conditions, the patrol should cover the area downwind from any likely leak or spill. Periodic rounds will be made while the plant is unattended during the non-forty hour work week. Mr. Richard Casagrande KERN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT November 20, 1985 Page 2 Our proposal using people to detect any leaks amounts to a performance standard in that the same or even better reliability than with an instrument is obtained. Isoplaths that you requested for a leak or spill are being prepared for us by Resource Engineering and will be sent to you as soon as they are obtained. They have promised to run the computer programs either Friday or Monday, have the isoplaths in my hands by Tuesday, November 26, 1985. I will send them to you the same day that I receive them.

The precise development plan conditions which can be temporarily waived are: #8 soil sampling at the old site and #19 vapor monitoring at the new site. These waivers are contingent upon Magna Corporation's assurance that only cleaning will be performed. No deliveries of acrolein will be allowed until the air monitoring equipment is in place and operating to the satisfaction of the Health Department.

Attached is a copy of the inspection report. The report concludes that you have generally contained and disposed of your wastes in accordance with our Board's rules and regulations. However, in previous site review, we found evidence of Acrolien releases to soils on-site, and other past disposal practices at the site which may threaten ground or drainage water quality (copies of correspondence enclosed). Please submit to this office by 1 November 1985 a historical review of past waste management at the site and a site contamination assessment to determine the extent of the threat to water quality from past disposal or accidental releases.

Curtis 21 August 1985 INSPECTION DATE: INSPECTED BY: ACCOMPANIED BY: 14 August 1985 Timothy G. Souther Messrs. Cutis, Phil Davis and Ralph Conzales of Magna, Ron Marks of M. H. Lowe, Jim Horstman of Southern Pacific Transporation Co., Watson Gin of Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division and Richard Casagrande of Kern County Health Department OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS: I met with the above persons and inspected the facility to provide guidance to the responsible agencies and Magna on closure of their existing facility. Mr. Gin indicates he had some problems with their closure plans, primarily with the decontamination of equipment and the soil sampling plan. I indicated that we would need a history of past disposal practices of the site and a contamination assessment proposal to determine possible threats to ground water. I advised Magna that previous work in 1980 found the presence of Acrolien and Mercaptans in some excavated soils. Mr. Gonzales indicated that Magna had leased the property, on Pacheco Road near Gostord, from Southern Pacific Transporation Company since 1973. The facility has been used for repackaging and storing Acrolien, an aquatic herbicide. Wastes generated at the site are managed as follows: Material Disposal Method Methanol/Acrolien Solution Acrolien Scrubber Waste Damaged Containers Nonhazardous Solid Waste Domestic Waste Yard Drainage Class I Disposal Site Class II-1 Disposal Site Unknown County Solid Waste Site Septic Tank/Leachfiel d Unlined Pond The Methanol/Acrolien solution is generated in the fully enclosed container rinsing operation. It is handled as a hazardous waste; it is stored in an above-ground tank and disposed of at IT-Hartinez. (See Attached Map) MAGNA CORPORATION -2- 21 August 1985 The Acrolien/Scrubber waste is generated in a sodium bisulfite scrubber used to remove acrolien from gasses evacuated from rinsed containers. The material is treated as a hazardous waste and is disposed of at EPC-Eastside. I informed Magna that EPC's waste discharge requirements prohibit the disposal of "pesti- cides or pesticide contaminated waste" Mr. Gonzales indicated that Magna generates damaged Acrolien containers as a waste. The containers are presently stored on bare soil at the site pending a determination of the appropriate disposal method. Garbage is collected by a contractor and hauled to a Kern County solid waste disposal site. Domestic wastes are disposed of in a septic tank/drywell system. Soil excavated for this system, in 1980, was found edorous and containing Acrolien and Mercaptans. Yard drainage and street drainage from Pacheco Road are collected in an unlined pond. According to Mr. Curtis, Magna has a Contingency Plan to address spills of Acrolien. At the time of the inspection, the pond had about 18 inches of wa te r. I noted two separate "seeps" surfacing from below the asphalt. smelled similar to tar and may include some mercaptans. This material Mr. Horstman indicated he would have Wayne Pepple of Southern Pacific Transporta- tion Company's environmental staff attempt to define past uses of the property. Mr. Curtis indicated he would like to remove the equipment to their new site and would work with Mr. Gin to resolve the equipment problems in the Closure Plan. He also proposed to forego a contamination assessment of the site until SPTC's historical review is complete and the equipment is removed from the site. Soil in the area is of moderate permeability. Ground water is of good quality and is found at a depth of about 160 feet. CONCLUSIONS: Magna has operated to contain their wastes in above-ground facilities consistent with Board rules and regulations. However, we found some apparent Acrolien release problems in 1980. The site may be underlain by a past disposal operation. Magna and SPTC propose to~ coordinate on development of a contamination assessment of past waste disposal on-site. TGS:sjb We should formally request a historical review of past waste management at the site and a contamination assessment of those practices from Magna and SPTC. Based on the results of the assessment we can assist Magna and the other agencies in development of appropriate final closure plans, if necessary. TIMOTHY G.

Odorous Soil @ blagna Corporation On Monday, February 11,'.1980, Saeb Dajani informed me that he had responded to a complaint about an odorous material in the soil at the ~.lagna Corporation on Saturday, February 09, 1980. This company is located at the SW intersection of Pacheco and G~sford Roads, and Js engaged in containerizing the herbicide Acro- lein into ~mall volumes from large railroad tankers. Over the weekend, they were excavating for the installation of a new septic tank and dug into soil that apparently had been contaminated with some chemical. The top two feet. of soil was discolored and a strong, mercaptan-like odor was emanating. This apparently was the source of the complaint. On F~onday, February 11, 1980, I went with Fir. Dajani to the location and the odor of the material was still very strong. We obtained the following in- formation from ~. ~alph Gonzales, the plant foreman: The plant is located on property leased from the Southern Pacific Railroad, and has been at its present location for five (~) years. They are involved in packaging only, and handle the herbi- cide Acrolein, which is manufactured by. the Shell Chemical Company. The main office is located in Houston, Texas and further information, if needed, would have to be obtained from ~fr. Robert Bell, Vice President of manufacturing in that office. The excavated soil had been deposited onto a vacant lot west of the plant and was to remain there unti~our office could determine the proper method of disposal. ~ I - On Thursday, February 14, 1980, {t was decided that the material could be disposed of at a II-1 disposal site. This decision was in concurrence with Bob McCormick of the State Department of Health, Hazardous Material Management Section, and T~m Souther of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Bosrd.

Box 33387 Houston, Texas 77033 Dear Mr. Stennett: :NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND SCHEDULE FOR COMPLIANCE On December 13, 1985 the Depar%Tent of Health Services (DHS) conducted an inspection of The Bakersfield Facility located at Gosford and Pacheco Roads. As a result of that inspection, violations of hazardous waste statutes and regulations were identified. Specified violations and required corrective action are listed below. Failure to correct the identified violations within the schedule provided will result in DHS citing you for continuing/additional violations. I. Schedule of Violations COU~ I: 67103. Security, Title 22 California A&ministrative Code (C.A.C.) (a) The owner or operator shall prevent the unknowing entry, and minimize the possibility for the unauthorized entry, of persons or livestock onto the active portion of his facility, unless he can demonstrate to the Department that: (!) Physical contact with the waste, structures or equipment within the active portion of the facility will not injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the active porticn of a facility. (2) Disturbance of the waste or equipment, by the unknowing or unauthorized entry of persons or livestock onto the active portion of a facility, will not cause a violation of the requirements of Articles 18 through 32 of this chapter. (b) Unless the owner or operator has made a successful demonstration under subsections (a) (1) and (a) (2) of this section, a facility shall have: (1) A 24-hour surveillance system (e.g., television monitoring or surveillance by guards or facility personnel) which continuously monitors and controls entry onto the active protion of the facility; or (2) (A) An artificial or natural barrier (e.g., a fence in good repair or a fence combined with a cliff) which completely surrounds the active portion of the facility. -2- (B) A means to control entry, at all times, through the gates or other entrances to the active portion of the facility (e.g., an attendant, television monitors, locked entrance or controlled roadway access to the facility).

This request is in response to our discussion of November 19, 1985, concerning the lack of a cost effective device to obtain the desired monitoring and alarming results. Magna has searched for an effective instrument that will respond to acrolein vapors. Only two companies have offered to quote one that covers the ranges you specified. Neither has field experience in acrolein and both are too costly. Magna will continue to search for an instrument to fit our conditions both for the safety of our personnel and in response to your concern. It is our contention that the use of a person periodically covering the area downwind of our containers and railroad car is better than an instrument because small spills or leaks can be detected as low as 0.21ppm by smell or watering of eyes. The dangerous level of exposure to acrolein is 5ppm or more; and a person cannot stand to be in that concentration long enough to be affected by acrolein. Therefore, a person patrolling the area and smelling acrolein is much more effective than a stationary instrument that may or may not be directly downwind from a leak or spill. Magna will use a watchman's time clock and install key stations on the perimeter such that under varying wind conditions, the patrol should cover the area downwind from any likely leak or spill. Periodic rounds will be made while the plant is unattended during the non-forty hour work week. Mr. Richard Casagrande KERN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT November 20, 1985 Page 2 Our proposal using people to detect any leaks amounts to a performance standard in that the same or even better reliability than with an instrument is obtained. Isoplaths that you requested for a leak or spill are being prepared for us by Resource Engineering and will be sent to you as soon as they are obtained. They have promised to run the computer programs either Friday or Monday, have the isoplaths in my hands by Tuesday, November 26, 1985. I will send them to you the same day that I receive them.

Attached is a copy of the inspection report. The report concludes that you have generally contained and disposed of your wastes in accordance with our Board's rules and regulations. However, in previous site review, we found evidence of Acrolien releases to soils on-site, and other past disposal practices at the site which may threaten ground or drainage water quality (copies of correspondence enclosed). Please submit to this office by 1 November 1985 a historical review of past waste management at the site and a site contamination assessment to determine the extent of the threat to water quality from past disposal or accidental releases. By copy of this letter, we are making the property owner, Southern Pacific Transportation Company av~are of these concerns also. You should coordinate your efforts ;vith them.

Curtis 21 August 1985 INSPECTION DATE: INSPECTED BY' ACCOMPANIED BY: 14 August 1985 Timothy G. Souther Messrs. Cutis, Phil Davis and Ralph Conzales of Magna, Ron Marks of M. H. Lowe, Jim Horstman of Southern Pacific Transporation Co., Watson Gin of Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division and Richard Casagrande of Kern County Health Department 0BSERVATI0~tS A~'ID COH~,IENTS: I met with the above persons and inspected the facility to provide guidance to the responsible agencies and Magna on closure of their existing facility. Mr. Gin indicates he had some problems with their closure plans, primarily with the decontamination of equipment and the soil sampling plan. I indicated that we would need a history of past disposal practices of the site and a contamination assessment proposal to determine possible threats to ground water. I advised Magna that previous work in 1980 found the presence of Acrolien and Mercaptans in some excavated soils. Mr. Gonzales indicated that Magna had leased the property, on Pacheco Road near Gostord, from Southern Pacific Transporation Company since 1973. The facility has been used for repackaging and storing Acrolien, an aquatic herbicide. Wastes generated at the site are managed as follows: Material Disposal Method Methanol/Acrolien Solution Acrolien Scrubber Waste Damaged Containers Nonhazardous Solid ~a~te Domestic l'~aste Yard Drainage Class I Disposal Site Class II-1 Disposal Site Unknown County Solid Waste Site Septic Tank/Leachfield Unlined Pond The Methanol/Acrolien solution is generated in the fully enclosed container rinsing operation. It is handled as a hazardous waste; it is stored in an above-ground tank and disposed of at IT-~lartinez. (See Attached Map) MAGNA CORPORATION -2- 21 August 1985 The Acrolien/Scrubber waste is generated in a sodium bisulfite scrubber used to remove acrolien from gasses evacuated from rinsed containers. The material is treated as a hazardous waste and is disposed of at EPC-Eastside. I informed Magna that EPC's waste discharge requirements prohibit the disposal of "pesti- cides or pesticide contaminated waste". Mr. Gonzales indicated that Magna generates damaged Acrolien containers as a waste. The containers are presently stored on bare soil at the site pending a determination of the appropriate disposal method. Garbage is collected by a contractor and hauled to a Kern County solid waste disposal site. Domestic wastes are disposed of in a septic tank/drywell system. Soil excavated for this system, in 1980, was found edorous and containing Acrolien and Mercaptans. Yard drainage and street drainage from Pacheco Road are collected in an unlined pond. According to Mr. Curtis, Magna has a Contingency Plan to address spills of Acrolien. At the time of the inspection, the pond had about 18 inches of water. I noted two separate "seeps" surfacing from below the asphalt. This material smelled similar to tar and may include some mercaptans. Mr. Horstman indicated he would have Wayne Pepple of Southern Pacific Transporta- tion Company's environmental staff attempt to define past uses of the property. Mr. Curtis indicated he would like to remove the equipment to their new site and would work with Hr. Gin to resolve the equipment problems in the Closure Plan. He also proposed to forego a contamination assessment of the site until SPTC's historical review is complete and the equipment is removed from the site. Soil in the area is of moderate permeability. Ground water is of good quality and is found at a depth of about 160 feet. CONCLUSIONS: Magna has operated to contain their wastes in above-ground facilities consistent with Board rules and regulations. However, we found some apparent Acrolien release problems in 1980. The site may be underlain by a past dispcsal operation. Magna and SPTC propose to' coordinate on development of a contamination assessment of past waste disposal on-site. TGS:sjb We should formally request a historical review of past waste management at the site and a contamination assessment of those practices from Magna and SPTC. Based on the results of the assessment we can assist Magna and the other agencies in development of appropriate final closure plans, if necessary. TIMOTHY G.

Odorous Soil @ ~lagna Corporation On Monday, February 11,'.1980, SaeB Dajani informed me that he had responded to a complaint about an odorous material in the soil at the Magna Corporation on Saturday, February 09, 1980. This company is located at the SW intersection of Pacheco and G~sford Roads, and is engaged in containerizing the herbicide Acro- lein into small volumes from large railroad tankers. Over the weekend, they were excavating for the installation of a new septic tank and dug into soil that apparently had been contaminated with some chemical. The top two feet. of soil was discolored and a strong, mercaptan-like odor was emanating. This apparently was the source of the complaint. On ~onday, February 11, q980, I went with Mr. Dajani to the location and the odor of the material was still very strong. We obtained the following in- formation from }ir. ~alph Gonzales, the plant foreman: The plant is located on property leased from the Southern Pacific Railroad, and has been at its present location for five (5) years. They are involved in packaging only, and handle the herbi- cide Acrolein, which is manufactured by. the Shell Chemical Company. The main office is located in Houston, Texas and further informatioJ, if needed, would have to be obtained from Mr. Robert Bell, Vice President of manufacturing in that office. The excavated soil had been deposited onto a vacant lot west of the plant and was to remain there until our office could determine the proper method of disposal. - 1 - .-. k On Thursday, February 14, 1980, {t was decided that the material could be disposed of at a II-1 disposal site. This decision was in concurrence with Bob McCormick of the State Department of Health, Hazardous Material Management Section, and Tim Souther of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Bosrd. Mr. 'Gonzales was advised to dispose of the material at M. P. Disposal site (EPC refused to accept it due to the odor problem)t Hike Sides, the Dis- trict Sanitarian, was instructed to collect a soil sample in a glass jar, as requested by Tim Souther of Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The reports that are obtained are high/low and average on each individual line.: The interval can be selected and a time weighted average at the end of 8 hours on each ind.ividual line can be obtained., Also, it can alarm at a preset level..~ This l:evel can be different on each line.~ With respect to your specific question, we provide a closure internal to the instrument that is accessible from the outside that can be used to operate a siren or remote light.~ I have prepared a formal quotation for you so that you can deliver this directly to the interested party., You will note that it states our setup charges, if this is necessary.~ We feel that usually the instrument can be setup by the local people without any need of additional support., If they should wish this, then it i.s available., They would need to provide the the sample lines between the instrument and the location to be sampled.~ These can be up to 200'~ but require a 3/16" ID tube.) They will also need to have nitrogen which will be used as a carrier gas and a standard gas which would be acrolein at M r...) Harrl's June 13, 1985 probably the 1~5 ppm l~evel., If the standard i~s not avail.able from a local supplier., we would suggest that they use our Model' 360 to develop a very accurate standar, d at the level of i.nterest~.)- I have enclosed literature on tht's product as wel=l, though I have not i~ncluded i~t i'n the quotation.~ After r. evtewtng the enclosed lt'terature you shoul:d have any questions or would llke to di~scuss the products furthers, pl~ease do not hesitate to contact our local representative, John Queri.do whose address and phone number are listed below, or mysel~f.)

County Counsel Page 2 .Tune 1l, 1985 The above will give responding agencies adequate time to respond, when notified, to decrease the dangers of another release of acrolein. Lab results of the contamination inside of the tanks, or the reasons for the exothermic reaction, have not been determined as of this date. Magna Corporation continues to move to close the existing plant and is working with the State Department of Health Services for an adequate closure plan. The adequacy of the water at the new site has been addressed by the Water .Section of Kern County Health Department; it appears the water issue will not stop the relocation, but will require extra effort by Magna Corporation to provide potable water at ~ later date at the ne~ site. Kern County Health Department had responded to C.U.P. with a requirement that adequate warning instruments be located at the new s~te. We will continue to work with Magna Corporation so that this necessary warning is provided.

Details are not included concerning the efforts of the five county and city agencies' emergency response personnel, as this information can most accurately be obtained from those involved. At 10:15 AM on 5/26/85 Magna's security guard service heard the burst of a rupture disc on one of the portable skid tanks (serial number 60041, net contents 2450 lbs.) located west of our facility office. The guard noted a release of gas followed by a viscous yellow material (polymerizing acrolein). The guard contacted Magna personnel - plant manager, Ralph Gonzales, and secretary, Gail Wilson. Ms. Wilson contacted Magna employee, Dick Putman, who immediately proceeded to the scene. e Mr. Gonzales arrived at 10:28 AM. He contacted Kern County Fire Department, and an additional Magna employee, Jim Adkins. Magna personnel immediately 'began spraying the skid tank with water. Water spray serves to slow down the reaction rate and the resulting temperature and pressure increases, thereby gradually stopping additional release of chemical. Prevailing winds at this time were 8-14 ppm from the northwest (later verified by Battalion 5 Chief Smith from Kern County Fire Department). At 10:45 AM the first city/county emergency response personnel arrived upon the scene. Magna Corporation personnel remained in the area to assist and advise throughout the emergency control procedures. By 11:20 AM the skid tank had been cooled sufficiently and the polymerization reaction slowed to a degree that the rupture disc replacement was completed. At this point the container had been returned to its original state. For some period of time prior to 11:20 AM the tank had been cooled to a point where there was no further release of chemical, either vapor or solid. As stated the container was back in its original state by 11:20 AM. A pressure gauge was also installed at that time to aid in monitoring the reaction within the tank. Water spraying of the container continued until the next morning as a precautionary measure. - 2- e Subsequently all remaining full skid tanks from this shipment (arrived at facility on 5/24/85 from Magna's Texas location) were checked. All temperatures and pressures were normal. Magna personnel remained on duty continuously for the next 24 hours, monitoring all full skid tanks. The monitoring of full skids will continue at this location voluntarily by Magna as an additional safety precaution. e Investigation into the cause of this polymerization began on 5/27/85 by Magna Corporation and is ongoing at this time. Preliminary testing indicates that the polymerization was an isolated incident due to some type of contamination in this skid tank. However the~.type of contamination is not known at this time. As additional information is obtained on this situation, it will be made available to your office. Please contact me if you have questions pertaining to this situation. Magna Corporation gratefully acknowledges your assistance in the resolution of this matter. Sincerely, Magna Corporation Bonnie M.

I have been unable to contact you by telephone since that date. I was able to contact HNU Systems of Massachusetts, but have not found any other company who can accomplish acrolein monitoring. Would you send me information on other companies who can guarantee their equipment to monitor specifically acrolein 'at the low levels necessary for the safety of our personnel. We are continuing to work with HNU Systems to arrive at equipment, but need to investigate other manufactureres to assure that we arrive at satisfactory, and economical equipment guarnateed to monitor acrolein at the necessary detection levels. As soon as you supply this information to me, I can continue with this portion of the project. Very truly yours, Phillip E.

The people of Buttonwillow asked for an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") ~egarding the transfer of the McColl hazardous waste cleanup to the Petroleum Waste Inc. dump site west of Buttonwillow. It was our desire to have the County of Kern intercede in our behalf with the California State Department of Health Services to accomplish this end. Your careful consideration, your determination, and your commitment as a Board is certainly a testimony of the concern and caring you have for the people of Kern County. A preliminary court hearing on this matter developed into a full-blown trial; before it was over, the Assistant Attorney General indicated this might be a landmark decision. The trial was not over until everyone involved in the procedure had nothing more to say either for or against an EIR being performed. The counsel for the County of Kern, the counsel for C.C.S.O.D., the Buttonwillow School District, the Buttonwillow Water Board, as well as the Superintendent of the Buttonwillow School, and the employees of Kern County showed a degree of skill, competence, and integrity in their presentations and testimony that the people of Kern County can be proud of. Kern County Board of Supervisors May 28, 1985 Page -2- Regardless of the outcome of the trial, everyone who was involved should be proud to have been a part of anything that represented the American system of democracy so classically as did this particular confrontation. If it is true that the decision that is to be finally handed down by the courts is to be a landmark decision, it is fitting that the people of Kern County should have been involved. If an EIR is granted, a great deal of work is yet to be done to make certain the people and the environment of Kern County will be protected to the extent that the health, safety and quality of living we presently enjoy will not be jeopardized for the least of us. The Board of Supervisors can depend on the help and support of the C.C.S.O.D. The people of Buttonwillow are proud to have had a part in the past and proud to be a part of the future.

I responded to-that loc~tion anJ set uo a Command Post along Gosford Road, near th9 railroad tracks. The following is a sequence of events, as noted by me. indicated are the times on my own wristwatch. The times- 1057 hrs.: I arrived on the scen~. I asked one of the firemen at that location who the officer in chargm was, and was advised to contact Batallion Chief, MAX MORRIS. I spoke with chief Morris and asked him what type of chemical, and was advised that it was Acrolein, a toxic chemical, and approximately 200 gallons had been spilled. I immediately got on the radio and the following sequence of events took place: 1102 hrs.: I requested 6P1 to respond to Panama Lane and Gosford Road and close Gosford Road to northbound traffic. 1103 hrs.: I had the dispatcher advise the CHP and the Bakersfield Police Department, and requested that the Bakersfield Police Department patrol sergeant respond to my location. 1105 hrs.: BPD commenced closed: at White Lane. Gosford Road to southbound traffic 1107 hrs.: Sergeant SCOTT of the Bakersfield Police Department, arrived at my location. I advised him of the situation, as I knew it at that time, and suggested that he might wmnt to evacuate the residential area, located west of Gosford Road and south of White Lane, which abuts to the MAGNA CORPORATION property. At 1107, I was advised the CHP had closed Pacheco Road, Progress Road, and had also closed northbound traffic on Gosford at Panama Lane. 1110 hrs.: BPD started evacuating the residential neighborhood. 1115 hrs.: I advised 6P1 to commence evacuating the persons on the East side of Gosford Road at Pacheco; which includes the Circle T-Turf Farm office and a couple of residences to the east of that location. About this time, Deputy SALLEE arrived on the scene. I requested he set up road flares on Page 2 KC85-22073 Gosford Road at the east entrance to the housing tract that the Bakersfield Police Department was evacuating. These flares were set so that the evacuees would turn northbound away from the chemical spill. During this time, the Kern County Fire Department was neutralizing the chemical spill. 1145 hrs.: I moved the Command Post to Pacheco Road, to an area just w~st of th~ MAGN~ COR?OR~TION. There I ~poke with Kern County H~alth officer, RICH~RO CASAGRANOE. He advised me that at that time the chemical had been neutralized and th~ blown valve on the tank had been replaced, and there is no further chemical s~ill at this time. I was further advised that approximately ~0 gallons had been spilled. CASAGRANDE recommended that we hold everything in place, including the evacuees and the roadblocks until such time as the Fire Department could cool the tank down to a sufficient temperature to make it safe. According to CASAGRANDE, apparently there was a chemical reaction inside the filled tank, which built up a pressure in heat, causing the valve to blow off. 1300 hrs.: RICHARD CASAGRANDE advised the situation was safe enough that we could remove the roadblocks and return the evacuees. However, he requested that Pacheco Road continue to be closed down at Progress Road and Gosford Road, until the Fire Department brought the temperature down further on the tank. Sergeant ANSOLABAHARE, of the Highway Patrol, agreed to l~ave two units on Pacheco Road: one.at Progress Road and one at Gosford Road, until such time as the Fire Department cleared. One fireman sent to Mercy Hospital for inhalation of toxic fumes. No further operations were carried out by the Sheriff's Department. Sergeant K. Fowler S-049 Payne 5-27-85 2100 hrs.

McDonald Regulatory Affairs Manager Magna Corporation Box 33387 7505 Fannin Houston, TX 77033 Dear Mr. McDonald: RELOCATION OF PRODUCT PROCESS AND REPACKAGING EQUIPMENT This is in response to your letter of April 18, 1985 requesting the Depart- ment's approval to dismantle, decontaminate, and relocate the equipment associated with the product processing and repackaging portions of your Acrolein Facility in Bakersfield. The Department has determined that the process and repackaging equipment, which is not associated with the waste handling facility, is not subject to the Closure Plan and may be relocated prior to the approval of the Closure Plan. The equipment associated with the incinerator, rinsing operation, and venting operation are subject to the approval of the Closure Plan. Any of the process equipment that is to be relocated should be decontaminated in accordance with the decontamination procedures in the Closure Plan and any rinsewater should be handled as hazardous waste. Wi~h regards to locations of sampling, the Department believes that soil samples, at a minimum, sould be taken to the following locations: a. Rail car unloading area; b. Cleaning and filling stations; c. Spent waste tank; d. Burner feed tank; e. Burner; and f. Storm water pit. I understand that all the concrete will be'removed as part of the closure. However, will the asphalt be similarly removed? The location of sampling and surface removal should be included in the revised Closure Plan. Mr. G.C.

Although closure cannot begin until the plan has been approved, the plan should contain the proposed date to intiate closure of the incinerator. 2 Please explain why the target date to intiate closure is before the last date that waste are to be generated from normal facility operations. 12 The Closure Plan should identify the specific sampling and analytical methods to be used during closure. I understand that a specific method for acrolein must be used. 14 Since the closure cost are required to be revised annually, the revised plan should contain the most current estimates based on worst case assumptions. What is the basis used by the engineering staff for the estimates? 17 The plan does not address how condensate will be contained. 19 The storm water pit must be considered in the closure plan and cost estimates .provided, until Magn~ Corporation can provide information that the soils and liquids in the pit are not contaminated. General Comments The revised Closure Plan should provide sufficient detail to enable an independent engineer to perform the closure. The plan should indicate which equipment will be scrapped and which equipment will be reused by Magna. The closure' costs should assume that all of the concrete pads will be removed and disposed of properly. Submit a plot diagram of the entire facility tha~ at a minimum,shows all the equipment and storm water pit.

Request Received: March 4, 1985 Review Date: March 27, 1985 Gentlemen: With respect to flood hazard review, we refer to our letter dated February 20, 1985, in which we evaluated the above-referenced General Plan Amendment and Zone Change in consideration of flood hazard conditions; we have no further comments to make regarding our recommended flood hazard conditions other than those stated in this letter. The Agency notes that the area encompassed by this Negative Declaration is now expanded to include a Parcel Map 7585, for which we have no additional comments. We concur with the mitigation measures relative to flood hazard conditions which are outlined in the above-referenced document. The Central Valley Re~ion of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB), letters of January 15, 1985, and January 18, 1985, indicate that information on waste management is incomplete. We would concur. How will sewage be disposed of? The applicant's KCPD Form #123, page 7, suggests that sewage might be removed from this site. If so how will it be removed and where will it be taken? Are there any plans for ponds to store chemicals? Relative to Groundwater conditions we note that this site is Kern County Planning Department Page T~o March 18, 1985 over a known, very shallow perched water area. Refer to Plate II of the Agency's 1983 Water Supply Report, Exhibit "A", (copy enclosed) and to Exhibit "B", a more detailed map showing'summer, 1984 perched water depths on and around this property, (copy enclosed). During the summer of 1984, four piezometers, located in this area had perched water. One at the southern tip of subject property, had perched water at a depth of six feet. A second location east of the property had perched water at seven feet, and a third piezometer, south-east, of the property had a perched water depth of five feet. In Section 12, north of the property, a fourth piezometer had perched water at 11 feet. JLR/WC:wl In addition, the applicant should be aware that a moderate to severe earthquake occurring at this location would probably result in extensive damage. This damage could be attributed to liquefaction of the subsoil. Yours very t~uly.~ ~..,....~ ,,.~ Stuart." T. Pyle ' .// Engineer-Manager Enclosure xc: Kern County Public Works Dept.

SCHIFFMAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH FUND ~AKERSFIELD COLLEGE 1801 PANORAMA DRIVE BAKERSFIELD, CAI..IFORN[A FE?.RUARY 20, 1985 INTRODUCTION The following report documents the archaeological investigation of Magna Corporation's proposed Relocation and Establishment of a Herbicide Repacking Plant (GPA #1~ ZCC #1, Map #158-13) Kern Countg, California. The Apchaeologica! Research Fund, at Bakersfield College was contracted bg Magna Corporation of Houston, Texas to conduct this cultural resources studg. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the proposed proJect for cultural resources and, to conduct a field reconnnaissance in order to locate and record any potential archaeological materials. More importantlg to establish whethe~ o~ not ang such recorded sites or materials can be classified as a "unique cultural resourcem as defined b~ AB952 (Environmental Quaiit~ Act of 1981). Finallg, to offer ang further preservation and/or mitigation measures for ang such recorded archaeological sites and/or materials. RECORDS AND LITERATURE SEARCH The archaeological investigation was completed in two phases: an archaeolo~ica! records search~ and, an actual field ~econnaissance. The records search was completed at the South Central Archaeological ~formation Center at 3akepsfield College. The archaeological field studg was conducted bg the author on Februar~ 16, 1985, and consisted of a cursorg-t~pe surveg methodologg. The literature search identified one prior field studg, but no previousl~ recorded archaeological sites located within a five mile radius of the p~oposed project bounda~g~ In general, recorded aboriginal sites exist along the west and north shores of ~uena Vista Lake, and the area noted northwest of the current studg area~ Other non-recorded archaeological sites mag have existed within the region, but were destpoged b~ early farming and oil exploration activities. The prior field investigation, which included a portion of the current project area, was cOmpleted, in 1977 and 1978 by David Chavez. His project consisted of surveging land a proposed for tank farm facilitg, and a 18~ mile long pipeline which was to run from the Elk Hills racilitg to the proposed Rialto Tank Farm and Terminal in San Bernardino Countg, California ¢C~avez, David 1~78; Cultural Resources Evaluation for the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 (Elk Hills to Rialto Crude Oil Pipeline, Kern Countg, California). As a result of Chavez's field investigation, eleven archaeological sites in the vicinitg of the proposed pipeline alignment, and one in the vicinitg of a related electric power line corridor were located and recorded. However, none of these archaeological sites were located within or near the current Magna project boundarg, therefore, recommendations from Chavez's report will not affect the current project, since no recorded cultural resources will be impacted (see Recommendations section for further details regarding any subsurface materials). The recorded archaeological sites located within the general region of the proposed Magna project have been documented as major village sites, burial mounds, tempopar~ camp sites, and task work shops. These sites represent activities associated with the homeland of the Southern Valley Yokuts, and suggest, certain cultural life styles and adaptations of the Native American people, who occupied the Tulare, Huen~ Vista and Kern Lake Regions. Three periods of occupation--Late Horizon 145B Hefope present (H.P.) to the Historic Period (circa 1772-76); the Middle Horizon 35BB ~.P. to 145B H.P.; and, the Earlg Horizon 550B H.P. up to circa 6, BBB H.P.--have been established with a possible fourth period also being identified (the Paleo Indian Period which mag suggest occupation on Huena Vista Lake as earig as circa 7,50B-lB,BOB gears Hefore Present). These suggested dates are not absolute op conclusive, ~et theg are indicative of different .time periods based on various levels of food preparations, hunting technologies, and other cultural manifestations such as burial positions, associated grave goods, and resource procurement and processing tools. In conclusion, archaeological sites occur infrequentlg within the immediate region surrounding the' proposed project area. The~ do occur more frequentl~ on the north and west shores of. Huena Vista Lake. However~ theg ma~ also have been located on the east and south shores, at least on a more frequent basis, but were displaced prior to ang sgstematic recordation. Evidence of Yokut 'Indians was first noted on the west shore of Huena Vista Lake ~g Father 6arces in 1776. As a result of the current ~ield investigation, no historic or prehistoric period cultural resources were located or recorded. Also, no isolated finds of an~ sort were noted durin~ the course of the archaeological field investigation. ~pparentl~, the project area was marginall~, if at all, utilized during either of the past cultural periods mentioned above, or ang potential archaeological deposit ma~ have been destroyed beyond recognition due to ~low agriculture. Nevertheless, no cultural resources were located or ~ecor'ded ~ithin the proposed Magna project boundarg. Therefore, it is recommended that archaeologica! clearance be given to the Magna Corporation Proposed 80 Acre Herbicide Plant, since no known or recorded cultural resources were located or documented during the field study phase. Further recommendations for any potential buried archaeological materials will be discussed in the "Recommendations" section of this report~ PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The proposed Magna Herbicide Plant project is located approximately twenty-five miles southwest of the City of ~akersfield, two and a half miles southwest of the small Community of Millux, and is ~ further noted adjacent to the southeastern-most portion of Buena Vista Lake (portion of Old Shore-Line). Furthermore, the 80 acre project is located within the Southern San Joa~uin Valle~ in southwest Kern County. The proposed Magna site is located between South Lake Road (west and north boundary) and a dirt access road which is locat~ just east of Sunset Pacific Railroad (east boundary). The proJect's southern boundar~ is not visiblu marked, but is noted just north of a pipeline~ ~hich is marked by two standing warning signs° More 'specifically, the proposed project includes the East 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4, and a portion of the East 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 13, Township ~2 South, Range 25 East as depicted from the Millux 7.5' USGS Topographical Quadrangle Series (1~54, Photorevised 1~68). FIELD METHODOLOGY On February 1~ 1~84~ the author conducted a Cursory field investigation of the proposed 80 Acre Manna Herbicide Plant Project. This methodolo~ consisted of ~alkin9 ~or~h-south transects spaced approximately 30 meters apart (direction of transects ~as arbit~aril~ employed, since east-~est transects could have been just as easil~ ~alked). This methodology allowed for a complete, ~et thorough field inspection of the project a~'ea, a]lo~;ing possible cultural resource deposits or isolates to be recognized and recorded. One factor that encouraged a north-south survey strategy was the direction the field had been previously plowed, ~hich ~as obviouSl~ north-south. Since the project area is situated in a relativel~ flat area and since plant growth ~as at a minimum, most of the surface soil ~as exposed~ this in turn al!owed for a thorough inspection of each transect walked during the course of the field reconnaissance phase. No trees~ shurbs or bushes ~ere encountered, and no ~ock ~utc~ops ~ere noted, stream cobbles were recognized primarily along the railroad tracks~ whic~ is sole~ responsible for their presence w.ithin the project boundarg, RESULTS OF FIELD INVESTIGATION As a 'result of the archaeologica! field investigation~ no cultural resources op archaeological materials were located op ~ecopded. No isolated finds op an~ other evidence of artifactual material was located during the course of the field investigation. As such~ a Iow archaeological sensitivity has been ascribed to the project area. The potential fo~ cultural resources is very low, and, thepefope~ impacts to cultural, resources is also expected to be ver~ minimal~ if at al. 1. -RECOMMENDATIONS In February of I~85, an archaeological field investigation was conducted for Magna Incorporation's proposed Eighty Acre Herbicide Plant, located in Southwest Kern County, Cali.fopnia. As a result of the cultural resources studg, no artifactual materials were located op recorded during the field investigation phase. The possibilit~ of any potential buried cultural resources exists at all times. Recommendations fop ang potential buried resources are as following: if during the construction phase any archaeological resources are uneapthed~ ~ork should cease in that immediate vicinity and a ~ualified archaeologist consulted to evaluate and assess the unearthed matepials~ whereupon, further recommendations may be forthcoming. CONCLUSION In conclusion, it is recommended that ~he Eight~ Acre, Proposed Magna Herbicide ~lant be ~iven archaeological clearance, since no recorded sites or materials will be impacted. Recommendations have been offered, and are expected to be carried out when necessary. RESERVE PAR!

GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS AND GROUNDWATER RESOURCES INVESTIGATION PARCEL NO. 1 OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 7585 KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA INTRODUCTION In accordance with a request by Mr. Don Newberry of Valley Steel Construction, a geological hazards and groundwater resources investigation has been made of the property designated by Parcel No. 1 of Tentative Parcel Map No. 7585° The property consists of 56± acres and is located between Hill Road and Sunset Railroad in the northeast quarter of Section 13, T.32S., Ro25Eo, M.D.Bo& M. (see Figures 1 and 2). It has been proposed that the property be developed for industrial use by Magna Corporation° The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain if any geologic hazards exist on the property or on surrounding property that might affect development of this property and also to ascertain the existence of groundwater resources below the property. In accordance with a recommendation of the County of Kern, California Division of Mines and Geology Guideline 44 was followed in the preparation of this report. This investigation included an inspection of the property, reconnaissance of the general area, research of geological literature, review of aerial photographs, and the preparation of this report by Mr. Duane R. Smith, Registered Geologist No. 3584. : i :[ /" : , ' r'- ,,'"' · ', -- ~-.' , !. ~ t ~ ~--...-' ,-....~ _ ': ~ [ / i I ,': , ~...-~ / ___.-:-.L..,~______,.-,,,~Z ~ .? ~ . ~_.__..~~ __ . ..~ . ..,,..-- _ .--_~,,,~ ,.--- ~.~ ~ ,-,' ~: ......... -'%2 -'~ ~' ~' '" ''~ I ', · / ", --; ~ ~ f ~ '- .T //--/,; -~ / ' ' ", , , . ,,', ...

L The geological investigation reported herein has been conducted in accordance with generally recognized and current state-of-the-art geologic procedures and was based on the intended use of the land for which geological service~ were secured.' The geological factors that were considered are outlined in this report. Other geological factors were not considered inasmuch as they were not deemed relevant to the intended land use. This investigation was conducted to the best of the investigative geologist's abilities in accordance with the foregoing limitations. CONCLUSIONS Based on the available data, it is concluded as follows: The property is located in the northeast quarter of Section 13, T.32S., R.25E., M.D.B.& M., about 15 miles southwest of Bakersfield, California. o The general area slopes to the north at a rate of about 20 feet per mile. There are no steep natural slopes on or near the property that could endanger it from landslides. Several unlined canals are located northeast of the property. Hill Road and Sunset Railroad are constructed on raised roadbeds. The sediments on the property are composed of poorly indurated, interbedded fan deposits of Quaternary age. They consist ¥? predominantly of silt and sands° The soil is classified as Merced-Rossi Association which is a poorly drained moderately to fine textured soil. o Poor quality groundwater of the primary groundwater table underlies the property at a depth of about 22 feet° Perched groundwater exists beneath the property~at a depth of about 10 feet. The perched interval is 3 to 4 feet thick with very moist sediments underlying this interval. o There are no large bodies of water in the area that might endanger the property from inundation. The property is located within a flood hazard zone as defined by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The flooding would be limited to sheet flooding from the south towards Buena Vista Lake bed. No problems are anticipated from possible seiche action on the canals located to the northeast. o The general area is considered to be seismically active. The property is subject to severe ground shaking and possible surface readjustment in the event of maximum probable magnitude earthquakes along the San Andreas, Garlock, Breckenridge-Kern Canyon, White Wolf, Pond-Poso Creek, or Edison faults° An average value of maximum bedrock accelerations during such an event might be as high as 0.40 gravity at the property from movement on the San Andreas fault or White Wolf fault (0.38 gravity). ® Subsurface faults are inferred in the vicinity of the property and. are related to petroleum accumulations in nearby oil fields. The closest of these is located about 2.25 miles northeast of the property. They are not anticipated to ~resent a hazard to the property. e Fissures mapped by W. G. BrUer subsequent to the 1952 Kern County earthquake about 4 miles southeast of the property seem to be associated with local topography and should present no hazard to engineered cuts or fills. 10. It is the opinion of this author that the fault most likely to move during the lifetime of the project would be the San Andreas fault. During such an event an average value of maximum bedrock accelerations of about 0.40 gravity might be expected at the property. 11. The property is located within the Arvin-Maricopa subsidence area. Between the years 1926 and 1970 the property has subsided about 2 feet. Since the importation of water into the San Joaquin Valley the groundwater levels in this area have rebounded. The rate of subsidence has most likely decreased from the previous 44 years. If groundwater levels were to fall at sometime in the future subsidence could again increase. 12. If recommendations of this report and a soils report are followed in the design of structures, it is the opinion of this author that the property is geologically suitable for the intended land use. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on data gathered during this investigation, it is recommended as follows: The design should take into account that the property could be subject to strong ground motion in the event of movement on any of the relevant faults in the general area° 2. Appropriate water diverting structures should be incorporated to safeguard the property from possible sheet flooding. e The soils engineer should be aware that the property could be subject to subsidence at sometime in the future. e A soils report should be completed prior to the design of foundations to assess the possibility of liquefaction occurring on the property during a seismic event and recommend any possible mitigating measures. Se All other Work on this project regarding excavation, grading, and earthwork construction; including fills and embankments should comply with a soils report or Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code. GEOGRAPHY The property is located near the northeast edge of the Buena Vista Lake bed about 15 miles southwest of Bakersfield, California. Th~ general area is relatively flat and slopes to the north at a rate of about 20 feet per mile. Surface drainage in the general area is towards Buena Vista Lake bed. Hill Road and Sunset Railroad are raised above the surrounding land. This appears to limit runoff from the property or onto the property from adjacent land. The elevation of the property is approximately 300 feet above sea level. The property is open space at this time and the surrounding area is primarily agricultural with a scattering of residences. The property appeared to have been disced at sometime in the near past. A J. G. Boswell Company packing plant is located immediately north of the property. Several unlined canals are located northeast of the property. There are no steep natural slopes on or near the property that could endanger it from landslides. The climate in the south end of the San Joaquin Valley is arid. Average annual precipitation is about 6 inches. Temperatures range from maximums of well above 100°F., during the summer to nighttime lows of a little below freezing during the winter. GEOLOGY Geologic Setting Geologically, the property is situated on the western flank, near the southern end of the Great Valley Geomorphic Province (see Figure 3).

This province is a large, northwesterly trending structural trough between the Coast Ranges on the.west and the Sierra Nevada on the east. The beds underlying the property form a homocline dipping steeply to the northeast. In November 1945, Texaco, Incorporated drilled Well No. "B.V.A." 73-14 in Section 14, T.325., R.25E., M.D.B.& M., about one mile west of the property (see Figure 2). This well was drilled to a total depth of 12,553 feet. Sediments ranging in age from Holocene to Upper Miocene were penetrated. Basement rock was not encountered. The stratigraphic column of the Paloma Oil Field, located about 1.5 miles to the northeast, is probably a reasonable representation of the stratigraphy underlying the property (see Figure 4). Lithology The geology within the property boundaries is composed of one sedimentary unit (see Plate 1). The unit is comprised of fan deposits of Quaternary age (Qf). The sediments consist predominantly of poorly indurated interbedded silt and sands deposited from streams emerging from higher elevations to the south and west. The United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation District classifies the soil on the property as MA-Ru (Merced-Rossi Association; Saline - Alkali). This association consists of poorly drained fine to moderately fine textured soil developed in predominantly granitic alluvium. Merced soils make up about 60% and Rossi soils about 25%. Pond, Traver, San Emigdio and Hesporia comprise about 15%.

The limitation for septic tank filter fields'is severe. The limitation for allowable-soil pressure is moderate. Hydrology The depth to the unconfined groundwater table below this property in the spring of 1984 was about 16 feet (see Figure 5). The depth on February 22, 1985 was about 22 feet (see Appendix A). These measurements were taken from the J. G. Boswell Company, Well No. B.V.A. 1 at their packing plant just north of the property. The quality of this'unconfined groundwater appears to be poor with T.D.S. concentrations ranging from 3,200 p.p.m, to 6,490 p.p.m, depending on the time of year sampled (see Appendix A). The property is located at a ground- water high between Kern Lake bed and Buena Vista Lake bed. Though no data is directly available, it appears that the quality of the deeper confined groundwater is of somewhat better quality. T.D.S. concentration of this groundwater is estimated to be near 1,000 p.p.m. As shown by the Kern County Water Agency Water Supply Report 1983, the property is located within an area of perched groundwater (see Figure 6). Two test holes were drilled on the property to depths of 25 feet and 21 feet. These were drilled in the area of the planned structures. Test Hole No. 1 was located about 300 feet south of Hill Road and 350 feet west of the Sunset Railroad (see Plate 1). The test hole was drilled to a total depth of 25 feet. Free water was first C ~3· ,.PLATE DEPTH TO GROUNDWATER UNCONFINED AND EOUI~LENT WELLS USED FOR CONTROL SPRING 1984 DEPTH TO PERCHED GROUNDWATER SUIV~EI~ encountered at 11 feet. This perched groundwater was about-3 feet thick. Very moist sediments were then encountered from 14 feet to 21 feet. Free water was found again from 21 feet to 25 feet. A few minutes after the hole was completed, groundwater was flowing freely down the sides to the bottom. Test Hole No. 2 was located about 650 feet south of Hill Road and 500 feet west of the Sunset Railroad. This test hole was drilled to a total depth of 21 feet. Free water was encountered from 10 feet to 14 feet. Below 14 feet the sediments were very moist. At 19 feet, free water was again encountered. This second zone extended to 21 feet. Groundwater also flowed freely down the sides to the bottom in Test Hole No. 2. See Appendix B for the logs of the test holes. More than sufficient water is available below the property for domestic use. Even though the unconfined groundwater is of poor quality the deeper confined groundwater could possibly be used if the unconfined aquifer was sealed from the well bore. Quality data from the deeper confined aquifer is all but non-existent in this area. It is possible that bottled water would be' needed for drinking purposes. The. property is located within a flood hazard zone as defined by the Uo S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on their June 20, 1978 flood boundary map '(see Figure 7)° This flooding would be limited to possible sheet flooding from the south° The likelihood of this occurring across the property seems remote due to the raised roadbeds of the railroad tracks and Hill Road° There are no large bodies of water :11 FLOOD HAZARD BOUNDARY MAP KERN COUNTY, -- CALIFORNIA LEVEE SPUR SOUTH I LAKE 18 ect Property ============================== > :.:.:.:-:-."+:.:.:.: ...~ ...... :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::~::::::::::::: -...-.-.....-... ::::::::::::::::: .......... : :::.:::::::::::::. ===================== .. ::::::=:=':':':': ":':":':.

No problems are anticipated from inundation if seiche action was to occur on any of the canals located northeast of the property. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS The general area (about 12,000 square miles) is considered to be seismically active. The property is subject to severe ground shaking and possible surface readjustment in the event of maximum probable magnitude earthquakes along the San Andreas, Garlock, Breckenridge- Kern Canyon, White Wolf, Pond-Poso Creek, or Edison fault. Figure 8 shows the locations of the relevant faults within a 62 mile radius of the property. On July 21, 1952, the well-known Kern County earthquake occurred as a result of movement along the White Wolf fault. The initial shock was a 7.7 magnitude with the epicenter near Wheeler Ridge, about 14 miles southeast of the property. During this event maximum probable bedrock accelerations might have been about 0.38 gravity at the property. Altogether 19 aftershocks registering 5.0 to 6.4 on the Richter scale took place subsequent to the main shock. The closest aftershock occurred on August 22 near Bakersfield, about 23 miles northeast of the property, and registered 5.8 on the Richter scale. Relating the acceleration figure of 0.38 gravity to the damage that might occure during such an event, it falls in the IX intensity range on the Modified-Mercalli Intensity scale (see Figure 9). % FAULT MAP Scale~ 1"= 12 Miles Source: Fault Map of California° Calif.

Bruer mapped fissures in the southern end of the valley. The closest of these was located about 4 miles to the southeast. It was classified by W. G. Bruer as "apparently only surface effects due to slumping". His report seems to indicate that this type of fissure would not be capable of damage to structures due to the locations at which they were found. They were found along dikes, ditches, streams, hillsides, fills, and at boundaries of different types of ground surface, along the boundary between cotton and alfalfa fields, or plowed fields and pastures, and along edges of roads. They seem to be associated with local topography and should present no hazard to engineered cuts or fills. Subsurface faults exist in the general area of the property. The known subsurface faults have been previously located by subsurface methods such as oil well electric logging and stratigraphic correlation. The closest known location of any of these faults is in the Paloma Oil Field about 2.25 miles northeast of the property. Mos% of the known subsurface faults are related to petroleum accumulations. None of these should present a hazard to the property since they appear to be too old (pre-Pleistocene) to be considered potentially active. It should be pointed out that faults not yet identified may exist that are capable of producing earthquakes that could be damaging to the property. Table I shows the active faults that are relevant to the property along with their distances from' the property, estimated maximum credible and probable magnitudes, and the estimated average values of maximum bedrock accelerations for both the credible and probable events at the property. Accelerations used in the body of this report are calculated from the estimated probable event since it is a more reasonable value based on the known geological conditions and the intended use of tlhe property. Due to the thickness of the sediments underlying the property ( > 20,000 feet) an amplification of the accelerations given in this report may occur. Based on a study by the Earthquake Engineering Research Center at the University of California in 1975, this amplification might be as high as 0.035 gravity. This author believes the fault most likely to move during the lifetime of the project wo~ld be the San Andreas fault° Estimated average values of maximum probable bedrock accelerations during such an event would be about 0.40 gravity. On the Modified-Mercalli Intensity scale this would place damage in the IX range. During an event of this intensity the ground could crack conspicuously; damage is considerable in masonry structures built to withstand earthquakes; damage is great in other masonry buildings, with some collapsing; some wooden houses built to withstand earthquakes are thrown out of plumb, others are shifted off their foundations; and underground pipes could be seriously damaged. From 1900 through 1974 over 50 earthquakes have been registered within a radius of 30 miles of the property.

Subsidence The property is located within the western portion of the Arvin- Maricopa subsidence area. This area consists of about 425 square miles. Land subsidence has occurred at rates as high as 0.5 feet per year from 1926 to 1970 (see Figure 11) o The area of greatest subsidence is just northwest of Mettler. Between the years 1926 and 1970 (44 years) the property has subsided about 2 feet. Subsidence during this period was directly related to declining groundwater levels and results from the compaction of unconsolidated alluvial and lacustrine deposits to depths of at least 1,000 feet. Since the importation of water into the San Joaquin Valley the groundwater levels in this area have rebounded. Based on this fact the rate of subsidence at the property should have greatly decreased in the last 10± years. If groundwater levels were to fall at some- time in the future subsidence could again increase° Submitted by: Duane R. Smith Registered Geologist State of California NOo 3584 -=,,.~.4._..7:.-, Lo,, .

Field methods Used to ~epo~t the modulations of vertebrates of the ~eqion included direct field notes of the flight of blinds oP the movements of the resident small mammals. Additionally the animals tha~ ape nocturnal o~ migratory and present durinq ~ay- tight hours, were recorded by more indirect evidences.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Section 15064) Finding A project shall be found to have a significant effect on the environment if: (a) The project has the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or' eliminate important examples of the major period of California history or pre- history. (b) The projecl: has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long- term environmental goals. (c) (d) The project has possible, environmental effects which are invidvidually limited but cumulatively considerable. "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the ,affects of other current projects, and the effects of probable furture projects. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Yes "Maybe N~ ', S]/CTION IV.

A MITIGATED NEGA- TIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. "I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIltONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. (The attached sh~ provides additional explanation.) Determination Date of Made by · Decision: REMARKS Groundwater in the project area has been identified as being of poor quality ("Westside Groundwater Study" Rector, 1983). Perched water at depths of 20 to 25 feet has an electric conductivity of 10,000 micromhos; TDS is in excess of ¢,000 ppm. While groundwater elevations flucuate, depending on annual rainfalll, effects of high groundwater may affect site operations. Because of poor percolation due to clay soils, standing water along the roadsides may result in deterioration of roadbeds (Norton, personal communi- cation, February 1985). Disposal of stormwaters into unlined s~nps may further reduce quality of groundwater (State Department of Health Services, January 7, 1985) as may spills of acrolein affect the shallow groundwater (ibid.). Special conditions to control degradation are suggested (ibid.). To better understand future conditions at site, existing site should have a "contamination assessment" to determine whether groundwater has been im~ pacted (ibid. and Regional Water Quality Control Board, January 18, 1985). Neither of the area water districts (site is within Buena Vista Water Services District) issued a concern on groundwater impacts. The project site lies within the Flood Hazard "A" zone designated by the HUD Federal Insurance Rate Maps. Several streams of the "Southern Stream Group" flow toward Buena Vista Lake and through the site. Several levees, roads, canals, and aqueducts complicate the flow patterns and rates through the site (1get, personal communication, February 1985). Flood hazard studies are necessary to determine flood depths at site; it is known that both the railroad and South Lake Road has been overtopped in recent years (ibid.), and while the depths are not specifically known, it is doubtful that traffic on South Lake Road was greatly impeded (Norton, personal communication, February 1985).. The primary impact was to road beds and is caused by slow percolation oi: clay soils (ibid.). Maximum credible rock acceleration from earthquakes is moderate for Kern County with si'te being in the .3+ acceleration range (Greensfelder 1974). This is probably due to the elastic nature of the E-clay layer. Agricultural capabilities of the soil is limited; however, crops that can be grown on site are high volume, viable crops. While project proposal is for approximately 56 acres, only a portion will be used for the chemical re- packaging facility. Note that the chemical is used for agricultural pur- poses; 'so while some agricultural land would be covered, the use is directly associated with farming needs similar to a ginning operation or packing shed. Refer to Remark 2. Severe weather will impact the site primarily during the' lO0-year flooding event on the Southern Stream Group. The Air Pollution Control District notes (letter of February 15, 1985) that it's regulations are structured to require permits to be secured prior to construction ~t site. While they do not anticipate any new impacts, they note that applicant will be required to obtain a transfer of location permit to operate. The Kern County Health Department (memo of January 9, 1985) notes that the effects of chronic release of vapor due to cleaning and refilling of tanks from bulk is not identified. Analysis of air/acrolein in pi:mn basis is needed. e The site biota report notes that Atriplex polycarpa found along the fringe of the site provides food and cover for the Mourning dove (a protected ga~e bird species) and other birds. Less than two percent of the approximate 56 acres is covered by shrubs of this type. The Marsh hawk and Giant garter snake may occupy the site; the latter in low lying sloughs and ponds. The State Department of Conservation notes (review response of February 21, lg85) it is concerned with the conversion of agricultural land to nonagri- cultural uses, the growth-inducing possibilities of the project, removal of productive soils from cultivation, and cancellation of a Williamson Act Contract. Subsequent to Department of Conservation comments, more precise maps were submitted (see attached Parcel Map 7585 and preliminary precise development plan), which shows the actual site to be used to be about five acres. Also refer to Remark 4. It is unlikely that any growth-inducing impacts may occur due to the need for a facility of this type to remain in a somewhat remote area. It is noted that the purpose for the relocation of the facility is to site the plant a distance from residential uses. 9.. Movement of any hazardous chemical on public roads or railroads always increases the potential of risk for highway users. Shipment is regulated~ by virtue of regulation promulgated by the Department of Transportation (Federal) pursuant to the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. Because of the potential for significant fog conditions, additional precautions are needed. In addition, rail transportation needs to be clearly evaluated, including determination of adequacy of existing line (Kern County Health Department letter of January 9, 1985) and installation of safety devices, such as train detailer on spur line (Kern County Fire Depar~ent, February 11, 1985). Adequate access to site from South Lake Road is also needed (ibid.). Use of material by agricultural concerns in the area will reduce highway impacts. lO. Fire station serving the site is in Taft (Station 21) with a 13-mile travel distance and a 15 to 20 minute response time. The manufacture, storage, handling, on-site transportation, or use of hazardous material must conform to the 1982 Uniform Fire Code and specific requirements of the Kern County Fi re Department. All fire protection systems must be approved by the Kern County Health Department (ibid.). 11. Medical facilities may not be appropriate for handling individuals con- taminated by acrolein. Contingency plans need to include evacuation of site and cotton gin personnel (Kern County Health Department, January 9, 1985). 12. No drainage water to flow into County roads unless authorized by the Kern County Public Works Department. A plan for disposal of drainage water originating on site and from adjacent roads (if required) shall be approved by the Public Works Department. Easements and/or grant deeds shall be given to the County for drainage purposes or access thereto as necessary (Kern County Public Works Depar~ent, February 25, 1985). 13. Risk of danger due to sudden accidental release is significant due to toxicology of acrolein and of odor thresholds below possible symptom expo- sure rate {Kern County Health Department, January 9, 1985). I~MJDATORY FZNDTNGS (b) (d) The manufactur'e and use of agricultural chemicals always carries the risk of short-term envirormental advantages to the disadvantage of long-term goal s. The food and fiber demands on agricultural interest in todays world requires the judicious use of certain chemicals to increase and protect production. The packaging of acrolein for use in the area has proven valuable; this herbicide reduces the impacts of adverse vegetation in canals and reser- voirs. (See a:lso Remarks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9.) The applicant is relocating this chemical repackaging concern due to resi- dential development adjacent the existing facility; relocation is necessary to protect human lives. The proposed site is remote; the nearest residence is about 2.5 miles away while other units are 4+ miles away (Kern County Planning Depa~rtment Land Use Maps). Relocation will reduce impacts on humans in the Bakersfield area. There are potential impacts on employees of the applicant, which must be realized by the workers when hired. Hazards to employees of the cotton gin and to travelers along South Lake Road are 'identified.

BAKERSFIELD HERBICIDE OPERATIONS On November 11, 1973, Magna Corporation entered into a lease with Southern Pacific Transportation Company for property located in Sec. 20, T.30S, R27E, County of Kern. This property has been used by Magna 'for ll years for the cleaning, and filling of containers, and storage of acrolein, a major component in the formulation of Her- bicide and Microbiocide. The Herbicide commonly known as Magnacide H is registered and certified by the EPA for usage in the control of submersed and floating weeds and algae in agricultural/ irrigation canals and irrigation drainage ditches. ' The microbiocide, sold as Magnacide B is used for the control of bacterial activity in the oilfield during water flooding activities. ~ This product not only controls sufate reducing bacteria, but also corrosion and solids deposition which can plug a producing well. Magnatreat M, a hydrogen sulfide scavenger used strictly downhole is another product of the Bakersfield Herbicide facility. During the Il years of this facility operation, Magna has never experienced a leak, spill or incident problem which required emergency action either by the company and/ or affected government authorities. The products manufactured at this site are in use extensively by most of the irrigation districts in Kern County and/or major oil producing companies.. In addition to the Herbicide plant, Magna Corporation operates an oilfield storage facility at 3212 Antonino Avenue in Kern County. This facility receives final oil- field products which are diluted if necessary, for oil and gas lease uses. This facility also distributes in commerce products packaged Herbicide unit (MagnacidA. 8 & Magnatreat M) which contribute heavily in the large-scale secondary recovery programs of the oil and gas industries. PROPOSED MOVE AND INTENDED USE OF PROPERTY Magna Corporation is currently in the process of securing a new site to relocate both of its facilities located in highly urbanized portions of Kern County and the City of Bakersfield. The Herbicide facility located at Route 7, Box 425 Gosford and Pacheco Road, has been subjected to the ever increasing pressures of urbanization and residential expansion. This in turn has created an unpopular awareness of the facility location and product manufacturing, thereby increasing the public's fears. Magna Corporation is requesting that it be assisted in relocating this facility and its operation, which will not be changed or modified to a more remote area of the County, thereby safe guarding the best interest of the company' and that of the residents of Kern County. The proposed site is located between South Lake Road and Sunset Pacific Railroad in Section 13, T32S, R25E, and consist of 55.89 acres {see attached}. The following scope of work defines the intended use of the property, in addition to its storage requi!rements, storm water collection use, septic tank construction, paving and assorted developments. Additionally, Magna Corporation will provide on this site for the storage of oilfield products in drums and bulk storage tanks. There will be no tmderground tanks, sumps or containers that store substances or wastes. The extent of construction activity involved in the relocation effort', isdescribed below: SCOPEOF WORK New Site: Perimeter Fence Soil Study Include Potable Water Level Water Well Rail Spur (200-300 feet long) Office Building: With Change Room (10 Operators} Plant Office~s.(Expandable) Sales Office:s {Expandable} Two Entry Gates {Circular drive for large trucks) Move Acrolein Plant: Rail Platform Loading Stations Four Small Tanks with Pumps Explosion Proof: Electric Rack Diesel Fire Punip Buildings - Paint Shed (30' x 50') - Mai'ntenance Shop (20' x 30') - Roof Cover for Cylinder Filling {40' x 40'} 50,000 Galon Wa~ter Tank ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY RECORD Personal Safety and Environmental compliance and conservation are key elements in Magna's manufacturing policies. This corporation commitment is highly reflected in the problem-free atmosphere surrounding our operations in Bakersfield. At present, we are regulated by the EPA and the DHS as part of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Program (RCRA), The Kern County Air Pollution Control District, and Cal - OSHA. Any and all waste produced at the site is subject to off-site disposal by I.T. Corporation in Ramirez, California. ??

Fred Simon, Planner Gentlemen: Environmental Consultation GPA ~2, Zone Change Case ~31, Hap 142 Kern County GEORG~ OL~JILMF./LAN, ~ The Sanitary Engineering Branch of the State Department of Health Services has reviewed the above subject report. It is proposed to allow Nagna Corporation, a producer of Acrolein, a major component in the formulation of Hagnacide H, a aquatic herbicide;.Hagnacide B, a bacterial control chemical and Hagnatreat H, a hydrogen sulfide scavenger to move its plant facilities to a new location. Just how much concern the proposed move of plant facilities warrants depends on assessing the existing site. Has the matter of possible Acrolein soil contamination at the existing site been investigated? Has anybody verified if shallow groundwater below the existing site has not been impaired by the chemical Acrolein? Since an unlined "storm water disposal sump" is proposed for the new site, these questions should be answered before the move is approved without special conditions.

Request Received: February 11, 1985 Review Date: February 28, 1985 Gentlemen: Ne have reviewed the above-referenced General Plan Amendment and Zone Change with respect to flood hazard conditions and have concluded that the area encompassed by General Plan Amendment 1, Zone Change 1, Map 158-13 may be subject to flooding from the 100-year peak flow of several streams of the "Southern Stream Group", (San Emigdio, Muddy, Santiago, Los Lobos Creeks and their tributaries). On site inspection in the past few years have indicated that all or some of these streams have flowed northward across Highway 166, and und. er or over the California Aqueduct where crossings are provided. ~e attached Federal Insurance Administration's "Flood Hazard Bound.ary Maps" show this area to be within the Zone"A", special flood hazard area. 'I~e levee for Buena Vista Lake on the south originally was established to retain water within the lake. Presently, it may cause a backwater and pondinq condition when the potential 100-year flows of the Southern Stream Group reach this area. Kern County Planning Department Page Two February 20, 1985 ~e recommend that the applicant's engineer conduct a study to determine the extent and depth of the potential 100-year flooding over the site area. On completion, the study should be submitted to the Agency for review and recommendations. Yours very truly, Stuart T. Pyle Engineer-Manager JLR:wl Enclosures xc: Kern County Public Works Dept.

Abbott Planning Director Kern County Planning Department 1103 Golden State Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301-2499 LEON M HEBERT$ON, M.D. · DIrKtor of Public Health Air Pollution Control Officer ATTN: Mr. Fred Simon Dear Mr. Abbott: SUBJECT: Environmental Consultation GPAFlt, ZCC#l~ ldapf158-13 Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above environmental documents. The following comments are limited only to the air quality impacts of the proposed project: Project Description: This project proposes changes to the General Plan and requires a zone change to permit the relocation of a facility operated by the Magna Corporation. The proposed location is in Section 13, T32S, R26E and consists of approximately 66 acres. The property is located between South Lake Road and Sunset Pacific Railroad on property presently owned by the J. G. Boswell Company. General Comments: The Rules and Regulations of the Kern County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) are so structured as to require the acquisition of permits from the District prior to the initiation of construction. These permits are required of equipment the operation of which will either emit, reduce or control the discharge of air contaminants as described in Rule 201 (a) of the Rules and Regulations of the Kern County APCD. KERN COUNTY PLANNZNG DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL COI~SULTATION GPAtl, ZCCtl, Ma~p~158-13 Page 2 Kern County APCD Rule 210.1 (Standards for Authority to Construct) as · amended April 5, 1983, provides the criteria for approving the permits. The objective of this rule is to insure new equipment or modification of equipment will not interfere with the attainment or maintenance of ambient air quality standards. Projects which receive approval are deemed to have no adverse air quality impacts. Specific Comment~: As the project i!; defined, there should be no additional impacts on the air quality of the Kern County portion of the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. The Magna Corporation will be required to obtain a transfer of location for the existing Permits to Operate. The above procedure is provided for by Rule 301 of the Rules and Regulations of the Kern County APCD. Any questions regarding this matter should be directed to the Engineering [!valuation Section of the Kern County APCDo Should the company propose changes in equipment beyond the transfer of location, the project would become subject to the provisions of Rule 210.1. This would require the application for the necessary Author- ities to Construct and a review of the project pursuant to Rule 210.1. Questions regarding this matter should also be directed to the Eng- ineering Evaluation Section of the Kern County APCOo Conclusion: The project as proposed (a transfer of location) should not have an adverse impact on ambient air quality. As a result of this proposal, the Kern County APCO does not object to preparation of a negative declaration. We do, however, strongly suggest the proposed site be thoroughly investigated to insure conditions experienced at the present site do no reoccur at the proposed site. Should you or your staff have any questions, please telephone our office at (805) 851-3582. Sincerely, CC/pag LEON M HEBERTSON, M.D. AIR POLLUTION.

Enclosed is a report elistin~ the inspection f£ndings. ~e Acretein plant appears co be a well managed and operated facility and violative conditions (Section V of the report) are limited to various plans that are required ~o be submitted to DOHS as per condicions of Che Incer/a Status Docunent (1SD). Some of the clarifications you requested during the inspection dire.oily relate to the items listed as violative conditions. We are currently ~aiting forthcoming policy decisions from Branch headquarters regarding guidelines for ti.lure and post closure plans~ including financial ~ responsibility requirements for 1SD pe~nitted facilities. Consequently, we ; ~ill hold in abeyance further actions on violative items 3 and 4 in Section V o£ the report ~atil we have received guidance on these issues. ~e have' contacted the Kern County Fire Department to obtain in£or~ation on chelr emergency response responsibilities. We understand they have developed a "pre-lire plan" which see~s to address many of the 1SD conditions related to chis subject. Eowever, the Fire Department apparently has only one copy of the plan and :here is no copy reproductio~ capability ac Fire Station 53 ~here the plan is currently located. We request that you initiate the appropriate arrangements to obtain a copy of the "pre-fire plan".

Applicants states there has been no violations; documentation shows otherwise. Also, there 'has been a response to an alleged release of chemical at the site this summer; precise responsibility of incident was not determined at that time. There are several conditions that should be included the precise requirements of approval. in 1. The railroad spur should be checked by those trained in this type analysis as to its safety for imposed loads. 2. Companies contingency plan should be critically' reviewed by all emergency response agencies as to adequacy, equipment, and needs of responding personnel. 3. The 'medical facility listed may not be able to treat or decontaminate those affected by product. 4. Repackaging operation should have continuous vapor monitoring with pre-set alarms at various stations inside and outside plant to give adequate warnings in event of worst-case accidental release scenario. 51 Transportation of students at schools one and one half miles away may need re-evaluation; school should have On-going disaster-egress protocol training.

Sargeant ~l. Green ~,-'.'ct P 3: 5 6 15 ~)anuary 1985 Timothy G. Souther ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTATION, GPA #2, ZCC #31, MAP 142, KERN COUNTY I have reviewed the subject environmental consultation package for a general plan amendment and zone change from agricultural to manufacturing for property. about six miles south of Shafter, California. Magna Corporation proposes to relocate an existing pesticide repackaging facility to this site. The material to be repackaged, Acrolein, is a priority pollutant and a hazardous waste constituent. In Magna's application, they indicate: "Septic Tank-Removal of Waste" is the proposed method for domestic sewage. "There wlll'be no underground tanks, sumps, or containers that store waste." "Surface water runoff will be collected in a "Storm Water Collection "Any and all waste produced at this site is subject to off-site disposal by I T Corporation in Ramirez, California." "Less than 25 tons per week" of solid waste will be disposed of at the "Buttonwtllow landfill." The information on waste management at the site is incomplete. The environmental documentation should indicate every waste generated at the facility, with storage, transport and disposal methods outlined for each. A "Spill Management Plan" should be outlined for inclusion in the environmental documentation. A facility drainage plan should be included as well. With a better description of al) the above, a better case could be made to support a mitigated negative declaration. We should supply the County with a copy of our "Information Needs" form for their guidance in gathering information for this project. Our file on the existing facility, located Just south of the City of Bakersfield, indicates that soils excavated from the facility contain measurable concentrations of Acrolein and Mercaptans, as well as traces of other pesticides. A copy of the analytic report is attached. A contamination assessment of the existing site should be conducted before it is put to other uses. The assessment should determine the areal extent and depth of soil contamination and whether any ground water has been impacted. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTATION, KERN COUNTY -2- 15 January 1985 CONCLUSIONS: We should advise the Kern County Planning Department, Magna Corporation and the other responsible agencies of our concerns on the adequacy of the environmental assessment. Should the document resulting from this process not be sufficient to address our concerns, we should request the information dtrectlyfrom the applicant. Furthermore, we should ask the property owner of the existing. facility (Southern Pacific Transportation Company) to submit a contamination assessment propos(~l to ascertain the potential threats to water quality from past activities at the Bakersfield site.

Characterize the soil profile down 20 feet in depth and estimate the soil permeability. Provide name, address and phone number of the person responsible for maintaining the facility, who can be contacted by Board staff members for inspection of the facilities. Odorous Soil @ Hagna Corporation On Honday, February 11, 1980, Saeb Dajani informed me that he had responded to a complaint about an odorous material in the soil at the Magna CorporatiOn on Saturday, February 09, 1980. This company is located at the SW intersection of Pacheco and ~osford Roads, and is engaged in containerizing the herbicide Acro- lein into small volumes from large railroad tankers. Over the weekend~ '~hey were excavating for the installation of a new septic tank and dug into soil that apparently had been contaminated with some chemical. The top two feet. of soil was discolored and a strong, mercaptan-like odor was emanating. This appare~atly wa~ the source of the complaint. On Monday~ Februar:f 11, 1980, I went with Mr. Dajani to the location and the odor of the material was still very strong. We obtained the following in- formation from Mr.'~alph Gonzales, the plant foreman: The plant is located on property leased from the Southern Pacific Railroad, and has been at its present location for five (5) years. They are involved in packaging only, and handle the herbi- cide Acrolein, which is manufactured by. the Shell Chemical Company. The main office is located in Houston, Texas and further information, if needed, would have to be obtained from Mr. Robert Bell, Vice President of manufacturing in tha$ office. The excavated soil had been deposited onto a vacant lot west of the plant and was to remain there until our office could determine the proper method of disposal° On Thursday, February 14, 1980, it was decided that the material could be disposed of at a lI-1 diaposal site. This decision was in concurrence with Bob McCormick of the State Department of Health, Hazardous Material Management Section, and Tim Souther o£ the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. Mr. Gonzales was advised to dispose of the material at M. P. Disposal site (EPC refused to accept it due to the odor problem). Mike Sides, the Dis- trict Sanitarian, was instructed to collect a soil sample in a glass jar, as requested by Tim Souther of Central Valley Regional Water Quality COntrol Board.

Study Received: April 19, 1985 Review Date: May 3, 1985 Gentlemen: We have completed our review of your flood hazard study for the above-referenced Magna Corporation property. Generally, we concur with your results which show that the average 100-year sheet flow depth for the area is about 1.0 foot with a velocity of about 2.0 feet per second. We also concur with the back water analysis for parcel 1, which shows that the 100-year water surface elevation of the back water is about at elevation 299.2 feet (USC & GS Datum). We would like to point out that Parcel 2 is also subject to a back water condition from the railroad tracks. The flow depth over the tracks could be as high as 0.5 foot. In view of the above information, we recommend that the entire Parcel Map area be labeled Floodplain-Secondary Zone and that the following notes be placed on the final map: 1. Ail of the area within this Parcel Map is subject'to flooding from the 100-year flood (Floodplain-Secondary Zone) of the Southern San Joaquin Valley Stream Group at an average depth of about 1.0 foot with a velocity of about 2.0 feet per second. 2. Development within the Floodplain-Secondary Zone shall comply with County Ordinances G-1976, G-2755, G-2425, /~ oyle_En~ineering Corporation age April , 1985 Permanent structures (including mobile homes and wells) within parcel 1 shall be elevated and/or flood protected to 2.0 feet above the highest adjacent grade or to elevation 300.2 feet (USC & GS datum), whichever is higher. Permanent structures (including mobile homes and wells) within Parcel 2, shall be elevated and/or flood protected to 2.0 feet above the highest adjacent grade or to 1.5 feet above the railroad tracks, whichever is higher.

There are errors in the applicants documentation relating to the production of hazardous wastes and R.C.R.A. violations (see attached State letters). Applicants states there has been no violations; documentation shows otherwise. Also, there has been a response to an alleged release of chemical at the site this summer; precise responsibility of incident was not determined at that time. There are several conditions that should be included the precise requirements of approval. in 1. The railroad spur should be checked by those trained in this type ~nalysis as to its safety for imposed loads. 2. Companies contingency plan should be critically reviewed by all emergency response agencies as to adequacy, equipment, and needs of responding personnel. The medical facility listed may not be able to treat or decontaminate those affected by product. 4. Repackaging operation should have continuous vapor monitoring with pre-set alarms at various stations inside and outside~ plant tcJ give adequate warnings in event of worst-case .accidental release scenario. Transportation of stude[~.ts at schools one and one half miles away may need re-evaluation; school should have on-goln~ disaster-egress protocol training. Packing shed and cotton gin personnel should be advised of emergency egress protocols ~lagna Corporation Page 2 January 9, 1984 It should be noted that the school and related industries may be in the plume dispersion, depending on meterological conditions, and severity, if an accidental release should occur. Proper warning alarms at site and at school may be necessary. It would be beneficial to staff to review the operation plan of Magna Corporation, specifically their on-going training of employees, repackaging, potential release of chemical to air or soil, and the Emergency Contingency Plan.

Fred Simon, Planner Environmental Consultation GPA #2, Zone Change Case ~31, Map 142 Kern County The Sanitary Engineering Branch.of the State Department of Health Services has reviewed the above subject report. It is proposed to allow Magn~ Corporation, a producer of Acrolein, a major component in the formulation of Magnacide H, a aquatic herbicide; Magnacide B, a bacterial control chemical and Magnatreat M, a hydrogen sulfide scavenger to move its plant facilities to a new location. Just how much.concern the proposed move of plant facilities warrants depends on assessing ~he existing site. Has the matter of possible Acrolein soil contaminatioz at the existing site been investigated? Mas anybody verified if shallow grounlwatcr below the existing site has not been impaired by the chemical Acrclein? Since an unlined "storm water disposal sump" is proposed for the new site, these questions should be answered before the move is approved witkcut special condi~{ons. Sincerely, Gunter A.

The Federal Housing Administration will investigate the potential risk of Magna's acrolein plant to houses built adjacent to the plant at Pacheco and Gosford roads, said Jerry Chadwick, chief of the housing development branch in Fresno. Chadwick said he has spoken with environmental officials in the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Develop- ment to determine what action might be taken to protect potential home "We're in the process 6! gathering information to determine what the haz- ard is out there," Chadwick said. "We will make an assessment and take action then.

Bakersfield, CA 93311 Dear Mr. Gonzales: With the advent of residential development north of~he Magna Corp Acrolein Plant at Pacheco Road, the possibility of exposure to acrolein of inhabitants is a significant concern to this Department. Given the hazardous properties of acrolein, a leak or spill of any size could be devastating to the community and your company. I have been informed that large quantities of acrolein are on hand at your facility at most any given time in railroad cars and in many containers at the facility. The proximity of your facility to residen- tial areas is not the problem as much as the chemical you store and distribute. The City of Bakersfield has no jurisdiction over your facilities in the County. However, as ! previously stated, the presence of the chemical acrolein so near this residential area certainly poses a potential danger to more than a few human beings. I would appreciate receiving information from you as to your procedures and the organizations you contact in the event of a spill. Does Magna Corp have plans to relocate this facility to a more remote area in the near future. ~Sq nce,re fy, 13. 5.

Closure plan and amendment of plan. (a) The owner or operator shall haye a written clospre plan~ This plan shall be subject to approval by-the Cali. fornia Regional Water Quality Control Board and shall be kept at the facility. This plan shall identify, the steps necessary to close the faci'lity completely at any point durin9 its intended life and at the end of its intended life. The closure plan shall include, at least: (I) A description of how and when the facility will be parti- ally closed, if applicable, and ultimately closed. The description shall identify the maximum extent of the operation which will be unclosed during the life of the facility, and how Item 1 and other applicable conditions of this document will be met; (2) An estimate of the maximum inventory of wastes in storage or in treatment at any given time during the life of the facility; (3) A description of the steps needed to decontaminate facility equipment during closure; and (4) A schedule for final closure which shall include, as a minimum, the anticipated date when wastes will no longer be received, the date when completion of final closure is anticipated, and intervening milestone dates which will allow trackin9 of the progress of closure. (For example, the expected date for completing treatment or disposal of waste inventory shall be included, as must the planned date for removin9 any residual wastes from storage facilities and treatment processes.) The owner or operator may amend his closure plan at any time during the active life of the facility. [The active life of the facility is that period during which wastes are periodi- cally received.) The owner or operator shall amend his plan any time changes in operating plans or facility design affect the closure plan. (c) The owner or operator shall submit his closure plan to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board at least 180 days before the date he expects to begin closure. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board will modify, approve, or disapprove the plan within 90 days of receipt and after providing the owner or operator and the affected public (through a newspaper notice) the opportunity to submit written comments. Time allowed for closure. Within 90 days after receiving the final volume of hazardous wastes, the owner or operator shall treat all hazardous wastes in storage or in treatment, or remove them from the site, or dispose of them on-site, in accordance with the approved closure plan. (b) The owner or operator shall complete closure activities in accordance with the approved closure plan and within six months after receiving the final volume of wastes. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board may approve a longer closure period under Item 2 (c) if the owner or operator can demonstrate that: (1) the required or planned closure activities will, of necessity, take him longer than six months to complete, and (2) that he has taken all steps to eliminate any significant threat to human health and the environment from the unclosed but inactive facility. Disposal or decontamination of equipment. When closure is completed, all facility equipment and structures shall have been properly disposed of, or decontaminated by removing all hazardous waste and residues. Certification of closure. When closure is completed, the owner or operator shall submit to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board certification both by the owner or operator and by an independent registered professional engineer that the facility has been closed in accor- dance with the specifications in the approved c3osure plan. 23 FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 1. Cost estimate for facility closure. (b) The owner or operator shall have a written estimate of the cost of closing the facility in accordance with the applicable closure requirements of this document. The owner or operator shall keep this estimate, and all subsequent estimates, at the facility. The estimate shall equa! the cost of closure at the point in the facility's operating life when the extent and manner of its operation would mEke closure the most expensive, as indicated by its closure plan. The owner or operator shall prepare a new closure cost estimate whenever a change in the closure plan affects the cost of closure. (c) On each anniversary of the effective date of this document, the owner or operator shall adjust the latest closure cost estimate using an inflation factor derived from the annual Implicit Price Deflator for Gross National- Product as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in its Su~ey of Cu.z~rent Bu. siness. The inflation factor shall be calculated by dividing the latest published annual Deflator by the Deflator f~r the previous year. The result is the inflation factor. The adjusted closure cost estimate shall equal the latest closure cost esti- mate (see Item l(b)) times the inflation factor. Vll. TANKS 1. Operation.

Odorous Soil @ Magna Corporation On Monday, February 11, 1980, Saeb Dajani informed me that he had responded to a complaint about an odorous material in the soil at the Magna Corporation on Saturday, February 09, 1980. This company is located at the SW intersection of Pacheco and Gosford Roads, and is engaged in containerizing the herbicide Acro- lein into small volumes from large railroad tankers. Over the weekend, they were excavating for the installation of a new septic tank and dug into soil that apparently had been contaminated with some chemical. The top two feet. of soil was discolored and a strong, mercaptan-like odor was emanating. This apparently was the source of the complaint. On Monday, February 11, 1980, I went with Mr. Dajani to the location and the odor of the material was still very strong. We obtained the following in- I'ormation from Mr. Ralph Gonzales, the plant foreman: The plant is located on property leased from the Southern Pacific Railroad, and has been at its present location for five (5) years. They are involved in packaging only, and handle the herbi- cide Acrolein, which is manufactured by the Shell Chemical Company. The main office is located in Houston, Texa~ and further information, if needed, would have to be obtained from Mr. Robert Bell, Vice President of manufacturing in that office. The excavated soil had been deposited onto a vacant lot west of the plant and was to remain there until our office could determine the proper method of disposal. - 1 - On Thursday, February 14, 1980, it was decided that the material could be disposed of at a II-1 disposal site. This decision was in concurrence with Bob McCormick of the State Department of Health, Hazardous Material Management Section, and Tim Souther of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. Mr. Gonzales was advised to dispose of the material at M. P. Disposal site (EPC refused to accept it due to the odor problem). Mike Sides, the Dis- trict Sanitarian, was instructed to collect a soil sample in a glass jar, as requested by Tim Souther of Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.

(AP) -- ~hree residents of a city where :tlnion Carbide Corp. operates a .P~ticide plant filed a $3 billion federal class-action lawsuit Tues- day against the company, claim- 'lng that it knowingly allowed leaks of the toxic chemical methyl The suit, brought on behalf of 10,000 residents of .Institute, west of Charleston, contends that the plant has damaged residents' health, caused emotional distress and lowered property values. ~ A leak of the chemical from a Carbide plant in Bhopal, Indi~, Dec. 3 killed more than 2,000 people and injured thousands of Dick Henderson, a Union Car- bide spokesman contacted at the Institute plant, declined to com- ment, saying the company nor- mally does no.t do so on matters involving litigation. Last week, the U.S Environmen- tal Protection Agency said the company's Institute plant spilled about 840 pounds of the chemical a year ago. The EPA said the spill was among 28 that the company failed to report in the last five years. The Danbury, Conn.-based company said the report of an 840- pound leak of methyl isocyanate was erroneous, because the tine from which it spilled had been misidentified. Only five pounds actuatty leaked, it said, and all of the liquid was recovered. A spokes- man maintained that none of the leaks required a report. The plaintiffs, Sheila Thompson, Robert Burdette and Hazel Bur- dette, are seeking $2 billion, in punitive damages and $1 billion in compensatory damages, although the suit specifically asks for only $10,000 for each of the town's 10,000 residents, which totals $100,0~0,000. Charleston lawyer Monty Preis- er, among three attorneys who filed the suit, could not explain the discrepancy. He said dollar amounts requested in such suits are arbitrary, because "no one can tell exactly what the damages are, but courts demand that such figures be included." .Suggests Magna .. .move further south ':relocation of the Magna Corporation .,.~cbemleal plant to the southeast ',.'~ .~a~-soctton of Bear Mountain .. :'Corportion and Tenneco are -, ~*!~ two miles further south. ~'~, ' We would like to suggest at least -, .i~llve or more miles further south, ~' hx,stead We are concerned ti~_at, L~ ~'!
