Re:
Verification Sampling Results for the Sump
at the Mr. Piston Facility in Bakersfield, Cahfornia
Dear Ms. Betuel:
In accordance with your June 18, 1993, letter to John MacK.essy regarding the verification sampling results
at the Mr. Piston facility in Bakersfield, an additional sample was collected from the bottom of the
excavation and analyzed for lead content using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)
at Sequoia Analytical, a state certified laboratory. A duplicate sample was also collected and analyzed
for TCLP. The samples were collected on Thursday, July 1, 1993, in accordance with the procedures
outlined in the Sump Closure Plan prepared by ESC, dated March 18, 1993, and the EPA Region 9
Guidelines for Closure of Shallow Disposal Wells. Mr. Terry Gray of the Kern County Department of
Environmental Health Services, was present during the sampling event and approved the location of the
samples.
Sampling results indicate that no lead was detected in either of the samples collected and analyzed using
the TCLP. Sampling results are presented on the enclosed analytical forms from the laboratory for the
samples.
At this time, ESC formally requests permission to backfill the excavation. The first round of verification
sampling results collected at the site on June 2, 1993, indicated that no volatile organic compounds or total
petroleum hydrocarbons were present at the bottom of the excavation and that metals were present at
levels consistent with background conditions. The results from the supplemental verification samples
collected on July 1, 1993, at EPA's request indicate that lead is not present at a level posing a leaching
potential. Based on the sampling results and the complete removal of visibly contaminated soil, all
residual contamination associated with the sump has been removed.
We would appreciate your response to our request to backfill as quickly as possible so that we can
complete the site closure activities. Based on discussions with Cynthia Brouwers of your staff, we
understand that we have 60 days to submit a closure: report to you from the date that we receive EPA's
approval to backfill.

Dear Mrs. Brouwers:
Enclosed are the results of the soil sampling analyses
along the drainage pathway at the Macke-Vee Company proper-
ty located at 4110 Wible Road, #D. Sampling was in accor-
dance with a sump closure plan prepared by Environmental
Strategies Corporation. A description of the drainage
pathway sampling plan is included in Appendix A of the
plan. The location of the drainage pathway was identified
by Mr. Terry Grey of the Kern County Environmental Health
Services Department. The sample locations were approved by
Mr. Grey and the sample collections were witnessed by Mr.
Grey.
Attachment A shows the soil sample locations relative to
the drainage pathway. Soil Sample No. 1 was collected near
the wash area just east of a :small shed. Soil Sample No. 2
was collected from just southwest of the sump. Both soil
samples were collected from a depth of 3 to 6 inches below
the bottom of the asphalt.
The soil samples were analyzed by BC Laboratories in Bak-
ersfield, California. The analytical results are included
Mrs. Cynthia Brouwers
Environmental Protection Agency
June 25, 1993
Page 2
in Attachment B. The soil samples were analyzed for total
petroleum hydrocarbons using Modified EPA 8015 and CAM 17
heavy metals using appropriate methods. No petroleum
hydrocarbons were detected in the two soil samples. Both
soil samples contained detectable concentrations of heavy
metals, but none exceeded the TTLC levels. Barium, lead,
and vanadium exceeded the STLC levels in Sample No. 1.
Barium and vanadium exceeded the STLC levels in Sample No.
2. None of the heavy metals that exceeded the STLC levels
should have soluble concentrations that would exceed the
STLC levels since none were more than 10 times their re-
spective STLC level. For example, total lead would have to
exceed 50 ppm before a soluble concentration could exceed
the STLC level of 5.0 ppm. .~
The heavy metal concentrations do not appear to represent a
hazard to the environment or to groundwater which was at a
depth of about 170 feet below the property in January 1991.
No shallow perched groundwater is known to exist in the
area.
Based on the above data, it appears that no additional soil
sampling or remediation is necessary along the drainage
pathway. If you have any questions, please feel free to
call.

Dear Mr. MacKcssy:
Thank you for submitting the verification sampling results for the sump at the
former Mr. Piston facility in Bakersfield.
After reviewing the results, we are concerned about the lead levels in samples
taken at the ten foot depth. We request therefore that you take an additional sample
from the bottom of the excavation and analyze it for lead content, using the Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). Your analysis will help us determine
whether the lead in the soil is likely to leach down to the groundwater.
The additional sample should be taken in accordance with the specifications in
the Environmental Strategies Corporation Sump Closure Plan dated March 18, 1993, and
the EPA Region 9 Guidelines for Closure of &'~allow Disposal Wells. For quality control
purposes both original and duplicate samples should be taken and then analyzed at a
laboratory certified for TCLP analyses.
So that inspectors from thc State, Kern County, or USEPA may be present for the
soil sampling, please notify .Cynthia Brouwers of rny staff at (415) 744-1839, Ruben
Medina of the Department of Toxic Substances Control at (209) 297-3964, and Terry
Gray of the Kern County Department of Environmental Health Services at (805) 861-
3636. Such notice should be made at least two (2) days in advance of any work at the
site.
As stated in the Administrative Order (Docket No. UIC AO-CA92-01, paragraph
16) you have sixty (60) days from receipt of this letter to complete the soil sampling and

Re:
Verification Sampling Results for the Sump
at the Mr. Piston Facility in Bakersfield, California
Dear Ms. Brouwers:
As you know, Environmental Strategies Corporation (ESC) is in the process of closing the sump in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the sump closure pl,~n for the Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston facility in
Bakersfield, California. Closure activities were performed at the site on June 2, 1993, and verification samples
were collected below the middle of the sump at depths of 0.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 10.0 and 15 feet. As EPA has
requested, each sample was analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) according to EPA method 8240,
CAM-17 metals, and total petroleum hydrocarbons .(TPH) as diesel according to EPA method 3540/8015.
The verification sampling results indicate that all contaminants of concern have been excavated and removed
from the sump. No VOCs or TPH were detected in the samples collected from depths 10 and 15 feet below
the middle of the sump. In these same samples, metals were detected at concentrations well below their
respective total threshold limit concentrations (TTLC) and were consistent with typical background soil levels
as reported in the U.S. Ecological Survey (USGS) Professional Paper 1270, Element Concentrations in Soils
and Other Surficial Materials of the Contiguous United States by Shacklette and Boemgen (1984). A summary
of analytical results are presented on Table 1. Analytical forms from the laboratory are presented in Enclosure
B. These results are considered final by the laboratory but have not been validated by an ESC Quality
Assurance Officer.
At this time, ESC formally requests permission to backfill the excavation. We would like to complete closure
activities at the site during the week of June 14, 1993. Please let me know if there is anything that we can
do to expedite your evaluation of the sampling results.
Sincerely yours,
'~"' ..'

Re: Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston Sump Closure Plan: Final Report
Dear Mr. Thurston:
Enclosed for your review and approval is the revised 'work plan for the closure of a sump at the Mr. Piston
facility in Bakersfield, Califomia. All of the comments provided in your letter of December 31, 1992 to
John MacKessy have either been incorporated into tike document or are addressed below.
Comment #2
Environmental Strategies Corporation (ESC) has not proposed to collect soil samples along "the route of
wash water flow from the wash rack to the sump." No such drainage pattero exists at the site. All rinsing
activities were conducted directly over the sump.
Comment
ESC has included analysis of samples for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel in the new work plan.
However, we believe that analysis of the samples for volatile organics according to EPA method 8240 or
EPA methods 8010 and 8020 is not justified. In Jartuary 1992, a sample of the sludge in the sump was
analyzed for volatile organic compounds by EPA method 8010/8020. The only volatile constituents
detected in the sludge were benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylenes. The presence of these
constituents is consistent with the past activities conducted at the site. To the best of our knowledge, these
activities were limited to steam cleaning of diesel and gas engines and auxiliary oil drilling equipment.
If no other volatile constituents were detected in the sludge material, it is unlikely that they will be found
at depth.

Dear Mr. Gray:
Enclosed are the results of the sludge sampling and analyses at
the Macke-Vee Company property located at 4110 Wible Road, #D.
There is a small sump located about 42 feet north of the Mr.
Piston Machine and Parts building. Sludge from this sump was
sampled on January 16, 1992.
The sump is about 8 feet wide and 10 long. It appears to be
about 2.8 feet deep. The thickness of the sludge is about 1.6
feet. The sump is covered by a 2.5 inch steel pipe grate. The
bottom of the sump appears to be dirt. A 3 foot concrete apron
borders the sump. Asphalt paving extends out from the apron.
I was able to collect a sample of the sludge through the grate in
the southern portion of the sump (see Attachment A). The sludge
was placed in a glass quart jar furnished by BC Laboratory. The
jar was completely filled leaving little to no head space. The
sample was placed on blue ice and delivered to BC Laboratory for
analyses on January 16, 1992.
The sample of sludge was analyzed for CAM 17 heavy metals, EPA
Method 8010/8020 constituents, total petroleum hydrocarbons (gas
and diesel - Modified EPA Method 8015), and oil and grease (EPA
Method 413.1). This list of constituents varies from that in
'Mr. Terry Gray
February 4, 1992
Page 2
your October 9, 1991 letter to Mr. Mackessy. The analyses was
changed after a discussion with you regarding the classification
of this site if contaminated. I did not want to have to re-
sample the sludge due to some possible future added requirements.
Attachment B shows the results of the chemical analyses. The CAM
17 analyses showed high levels of barium, copper, lead, and zinc.
All these exceed STLC limits but only lead exceeds the TTLC
limit. The sample contained 41,000 ppm oil and grease. The EPA
Method 8010/8020 analyses showed typical gasoline constituents.
These were benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, o-xylene, and m-p-
xylenes. The benzene concentration was 5 ppm and total xylenes
was 57 ppm. Total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations for
gasoline and diesel were 300 ppm and 1,500 ppm, respectively. It
appears, based on the above data, that the contaminate of most
concern in the sludge is the lead (6,830 ppm).
If you have any questions regarding the analysis of the sump
sludge, please feel free to call.

Introduction
This closure phn has been prepared in response; to and in nccordance with the Envimmnentnl Protection
Agency (EPA) Administrative Order Doc~t No. AO-CA92-01 (Order)' section 15, dated September 30, 1992, issued
to Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston (thc Respondents). Thc site is currently owned by Macke-Vee Company
and operated by Mr. Piston Machine and Parts.
The closure plan describes the tasks necessary to close a sump located at 4110 Wible Road #D in
Bakersfield, California, in accordance with requirements established by thc EPA and the Kern County Department
of Environmental Health Services (KCDEHS). It includes a description of site conditions, the scope of work to be
performed, the characterization of the materials to be removed, a description of the transportation and waste disposal
mechanisms, a health and safety plan, and a list of report submittals. In addition, the sampling procedures and
quality assurance and quality control elements are provided in Appendix A. This document has been prepared in
accordance with the EPA Region 9 Guidelines for Closure of Shallow Disposal Wells (1992) and guidance provided
by the KCDEHS to Mr. John Mackessy in a letter dated Mm'ch 9, 199.2 (Appendix B).
Background
On August 16, 1990, the KCDEHS inspected the: Mr. Piston facility located at 4110 Wible Road #D in
Bakersfield, California, and discovered that a sump was being used to contain run-off waste water from the washing
and steam cleaning of engine parts (Figure 1). The sump is located approximately 42 feet north of the Mr. Piston
building and is about 8 feet wide, 10 feet long and 2.8 feet deep. The sump is sun'ounded by a 3-foot concrete apron
border within an asphalt parking lot and appears to be unlir~l with an earthen botWm (Figure 2). The sides and the
bottom of the sump are earthen. The sump was fed s~ctly by overland flow and was not directly connected to any
drains, piping, or septic systems. The KCDEHS has classified the sump as a Class V shallow injection well.
On October 9, 1991, the KCDEHS sent a violation notice to the respondents requiting them to sample and
remove the sludge that, had accumulated in the sump. The respondents took samples from the sludge and submitted
the results to the KCDEHS in a letter dated February 4, 1992. A sample of the sludge was analyzed for California
Analytical Method (CAM) 17 heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), to~al petmlemn hydrocarbons
(TPH) as gasoline and diesel, and oil and grease. Sumpling results ate tnv. sented in Appendix C. The only metal
detected at a concentration exceeding its total threshold limit concentration (TTLC) of 1000 rog/kg was lead which

was measured at 6,830 rog/kg in the sludge. The only VOCs detected in the sample wcrc thozo typically found in
pelroleum products. Such constituents included benzell~e ($ rog/kg), ethyl benzene (6 mg/kg), toluene (15 rog/kg),
and xylenes (57 rog/kg). The concentration of TPH as gasoline was 300 mg/kg and the concentration of TPH as
diesel was 1,500 mg/kg. The level of oil and grease dezected was 41,000 rog/kg.
In compliance with the request of the KCDEI-I~ in October 1991, the Respondents immediately ceased all
X3 activities associated with the steam cleaning of engine parts and are not allowing any fluids in to the sump through
,' .3~. the placement of a temporary cover (Appendix E).
In September 1992, the EPA assumed responsibility as the lead agency for the site and issued an
administrative order to the Respondents. The EPA made ~ determination that there is a potential for the contaminants
to migrate into underground sources of drinking water and that the elevated concentrations of these contaminants in
the drinking water could be ba,ordous to human healt~. The EPA has ordered the Respondents to cease all
operations associated with the sump and submit a workplan for its closure. After the workplan has been approved
by the EPA, the Respondents must implement the plan and submit a final report within 60 days of the date of
approval.
Scope of Work
This scope of work describes in deudl the events that will take place during the closure of the sump. The
EPA will be contacted at least seven days in advance of any site operations relating to closure activities. The sump
will be closed in accordance with the terms of the order f~om EPA Region 9 and KCDEHS guidelines. Closure will
consist of excavating the sludge that remains in the sump ~d any contaminated soil and properly disposing of them.
The sludge is estimated to be 1.6 feet deep and approximately 8 feet by 10 feet in surface are& Before
excavating the sludge, all underground utilities will be identified. The 2.5-inch diameter metal pipes forming a grate
covering the sump will be removed to gain access. The sludge will be removed with a backhoe and the excavation
will proceed until the walls and floor consist of visibly clean soil. It is estimated that approximately 6 to 10 cubic
yin'ds of sludge and soil will need to be removed.
The sludge will be placed in a properly lined bin and labeled with the coIlection date and site location. The
waste will be properly characterized and disposed of (see below).
-4-
Va~ication anples ~!11~ collected below the; middle of the sump at depths of 0.5, 2.0, 4.0;*a~ 6.0'feet.
The samples will be nnalyzed by a sta~ certified laboratory for CAM-17 melals and benzene, Iolnene, ethyl ~e ~_~.L~
and xylene. The samples will provide the technical and analytical ~t~ n_~__~ to determine whether con~atninants ~.~'{--
have migrated beyond the excavation limits. The excav~on pit will be secm'ed and covered while the samples are ~
being analyzed.
To determine the need for further remediafion, the verification sampling results will be compared to levels
derived from the guidelines in the State Water Resources Con~ol Board (SWRCB) LUFT Field Manual. Verification
sampling results will be compared to the following standards to verify that cleanup is complete.

Residual levels of lead in the verification sample; will be compared to a standard of 1,000 mg/kg, its TI'LC.
If the results confirm that no further remediafion is neo:ssary, (i.e., all verification samples are less that cleanup
standards) the sump will be back-filled and compaCted with clean material. An asphalt cap will be placed directly
"~above the compacted ~l material returning the site to its original grade. If the results indicate that there is residual
contamination, then fm'ther excavation and ve~ficafion sampling may occur. The extent of posaible further
excavation will be based on the verification sampling restfl[ts. If the sump requires extensive excavation or additional
remedial action appeam to be required, then the excavat,d pit will be covered with temporary trench plates and an
impermeable liner, the remedial options will be evaluatezl, and a new work plan will be prepared.
Waste Characterization
A composite sample will be collected from the 55-gallon drums and analYzed to determine the appropriate
method for disposal of the waste material. The material ~dll be analyzed for the characteristics of b~,ardous waste
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as specified in 40 C.F.R. Pan 261 Appendix H and
the EPA order. The analytical results will be submitted to the EPA.
-5-
Transportation and Disposal ~ .. * ~
NoUowing waste characlmizafion, the material ,sill be disposed of at an ~ Californi~ certified
disposal facility. The bin containing the sludge will be Nx)perly lined, labeled, and manifested. The wastes, will be
transp(nled in accordance with all appropriate U.S. DOT regulations. No waste materials will be allowed to leave
thc site until thc load is secured, coveted, and proper stripping papers have been completed and provided to thc
drivers.
Health and Safety
An exclusion zone will be established in the immediate area of excavation and marked by barrier tape. The
zone can be adjusted as necessary. A Site Safety Officer (SSO) will be responsible for informing all individuals
entering the exclusion zone of the contents of this plan and for ensuring that each person signs the Safety Plan
Acknowledgment Form (Appendix F). By signing the Safety Plan Acknowledgement Form, individuals are
acknowledging that they have been informed of the presence of specific h~Tards on-site and the policies and
procedures required to minimize exposure to potential adverse effects of site haTards.
All personnel entering the exclusion zone must have completed uaining requirements for ba-ardous waste
site work in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements at 29 CFR
1910.120. The SSO will conduct a site safety kick-off meeting to address the site conditions. All personnel entering
the exclusion zone must have completed appropriate mo:lical monitoring requiiv~nents required under 29 CFR
1910.120(0.
Previous sampling and analytical data have indicat~xl that the constituents of concern at the site include lead
and benzene, chemical hazards associated with these cons0ituents are presented below:
1. Lead (inorganic).
· The OSHA time weighted average (TWA.) is 0.05 mg/m3 for air exposure in a 8-hour work day
for a40 hour work week
· The immed_i~t_e dangerous to life and health, (IDLH) level is 700 mg/m3 through inhalation
· The route of exposure could be through inhalation or ingestion
-6-
2. Benzene
· The NIOSH TWA (10-hour work day) is 0.1 ppm
· The IDLH is 3,000 ppm through ittbnlntion
· The mute of exposure could be through il~Lhnlnfion or ingestion
Because of the potential hnT~rds at the site due to Ihe presence of organic vapors, the air will be sampled
regularly with a photoionization detector (PID) to determine, if organic vapor levels rise above background. Level
D personal protective equipment (PPE) will initially be used at the site. This will be upgraded to level C PPE if the
level of VOCs measured exceeds background by 50 pans per million (gpm) at any time or by 5 ppm for 15 minutes.
Upgrade to level C will also occur if the SSO believes that t~he work functions present the opportunity for splashes,
immersion in, inhalation of, or contact with ha?ardous eonomtrations of chemicals.
Level D PPE will consist of:
· Chemical-resistant coveralls or standard work uniforms, as needed.
· Steel-toe safety boots.
· Gloves as needed.
· Safety glasses as needed.
· Hard hat.
Level C PPE will consist of the above plus:
· Chemical-resistant coveralls (uncoated, e.g., Tyvek)
· Disposable, chemical-resistant gloves
· Air purifying respirator with organic/high-efficiency particulate air-purifying cartridges
A confined space is del'reed as a space or work area not designated or intended for normal human
occupancy, having limited means of access and poor ventilation, or any structure, including buildings or rooms,
which have limited means of egress. There are no confined space entries anticipated for this site.
Site personnel will be prepared for an emergency. The following is a list of emergency contacts and
directions to the hospital from the site.

Verification Sampling
Samples will.be collected for both waste charat~eri~on and verification'Of clean up. Verification soil
samples will be collected within the sump using a stainless steel drive shoe sampler containing brass or stainless steel
tubes. The sampler will be advanced using a 2.S-inch st~dess steel hand held auger to 0.$, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 feet
below the sump bottom. A hand held auger will be used to attain the required depth and a drive sampler will be
driven into the desired location. The samples collected in the tubes will be capped on both ends with plastic caps
and aluminum foil or Teflon, and the caps will be taped to the tube to minimize moisture loss. Each sample
container will be labeled and appropriate chain-of-custody and sample identification forms completed. The samples
will be placed in a cooler with ice.
The samples will be accompanied by a chain-of-custody form. When lxansferring samples, the individuals
relinquishing and receiving the samples will sign, date and note the time on the chain-of, custody form. Samples will
be packaged properly for shipment and dispatched to the appropriate California State Certified laboratory for analysis.
The laboratory will maintain the samples in a cooler at 4° C.
The sample custodian at the laboratory will receive and assume custody of the samples. The sample
custodian will verify that all samples are present, they are in good condition, they are accompanied by a chain-of-
custody form, the sample identification is complete and corresponds to the chain-of-custody form, and that the
temperature of the shipping container is appropriate.
f The verification samples will be analyzed using EPA methods 8020 for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene,
and xylenes and CAM-17 for metals. A state-certified laboratory will be used and the results provided based on a
24-hour turnaround time.
To assure the quality of the sampling results trip bl~k and matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD)
samples will be analyzed. The trip blank is a sample prepared by the laboratory that is transferred with the field
samples to ensure, no contamination is introduced in transportation or handling. In the MS/MSD analysis,
predetermined quantifies of stock solutions of certain analytes are added to a sample matrix before sample extraction,
digestion, and analysis. Samples are split into duplicates, spiked, and analyzed. Percent recoveries are calculated
for each of the analytes detected and used to assess analytical accuracy. The relative percent difference between the
duplicate samples is calculated and used to assess analytical precision,
Duplicate soil samples will not be collected during this sampling event.
AH sampling equipment that comes in contact with potentially contaminated soil will be deconmninnted
before and after use. In addition, all soil sampling tubes will be cleaned before use.. Sampling'equipment. will be
decontaminated by washing with Alconox or tH-sodium pl~tosphate, rinsing with tap water, and rinsing with annly~-
free water. AH decontnmination water will be drummed ,~,ith the sludge and disposed of in the same manner.
While collecting soil samples, the sampler will wear rubber surgical gloves. The gloves will be replaced
with new ones for every sample taken to minimize cross contamination. Each sample tube will be completely filled
and undisturbed to minimize volatilization.
Waste Characterization Sampling
The sample for waste characterization will be collected in two l-quart jars with teflon lined se, pm provided
by the disposal facility. The jars will be fdled using a hand trowel decontamination as specified above and labeled.
The sample(s) will be analyzed for RCRA hazardous was~g characteristics.

Mr. Gray=
Enclosed are the rasults of the sludge sampling and analy~m~ at
t~e MacXe-vee Company property located at 4110 Wible Road, ~D.
There is a small sump located about 42 feet north of the Mr.
Piston Machine and Parts building. Sludge from this sump was
eampled on January 16, 1992.
The sump is about 8 feet wide and 10 long. Tt appears to be
about 3.R f~e% deep. Th~ thickncss of the sludge is about 1.~
feet. The sump is covered Dy a 2.5 inch ~teel pipe grate. The
bottom of the ~ump appearc to be dirt. A 3 foot concrete apron
borders the sump. Asphalt paving e:(tends out from the apron.
I was able to collect a sample of the sludge through the grate in
the ~outhern portion of the-sump (see Attachment A). T~e sludge
was placed in a glass quart jar £urnished by BC Laboratory. The
jar ~as completely filled leaving little to no head space. The
sample was plau~d on blue ice and delivered to BC Laboratory for
analy~es on January 16, 1992.
T~e sample of ~.!udga was analyzed for CAM 17 l~eavy me,als, EPA
Method 8010/$020 constituents, total petroleum hydrooarbons (gas
and diesel - Modified EPA Metho~ 80:LS), and oil and grease
Method 413.1). This list of cons:ituent~ varie~ from that in

Dear Mr. McLaughlin:
As discussed in your conversation of August 25'with Cynthia
Alden of my staff, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) intends to issue administrative orders to the following
companies for violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA):
The Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston, for violations at
the Mr. Piston facility, 4110 Wible Road, Unit D,
Bakersfield, California. The property is owned by the
Macke-Vee Company.
The Rosedale Hotel, for violations at the Maaco Auto
Painting and Body Works facility, 3650 Rosedale
Highway, Bakersfield, California. The property is
owned by the Rosedale Hotel.
Tom Powell Trucking, for violations at its facility
located at 6710 Downing Avenue~ Bakersfield:
California.
These cases were referred to the USEPA by the Kern County
Department of Environmental Health Services after repeated
attempts by the County to achiewa compliance were unsuccessful.
As you requested, I am enclosing a copy of our file on the
Macke-Vee Company/Mr. Piston case, which includes hazardous waste
violations as well as SDWA violations. When the orders are
issued in late September, we will send you copies along with the

Samples will be collected for both waste chara~-~on and verification of clean up. Verificafi~ soil
samples will be coUected within thc sump using a stainless ~tcel drive shoe sampler containing brass or stainless steel
tubes. The sampler will be advanced using a 2.S-inch s~ai~ess steel hand held auger ii) 0.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 feet
below the sump bottom. If the soil is visibly contaminated at the 6 foot depth, additional samples will be taken every
feet to a depth of $ feet below the last suspected contan~inalion. A hand held anger will be used to attain the
required depth and a drive sampler will be driven into thc desired location. The samples coUected in thc rubes will
he capped on both ends with plastic caps and aluminum fi)il or Teflon, and the caps wiU he taped to the tube to
minimize moisture loss. Each sample container will he hbclcd and appropriate chain-of-custody and sample
identification forms completed. Thc samples will he plac~:l in a cooler with icc.
The samples will be accompanied by a chain-of-custody form. When uansferring samples, the individuals
relinquishing and receiving thc samples wiU sign, date and note thc time on the chain-of-custody form. Samples wiU
be packaged properly for shipment and dispatched to the appropriate California State Certified hboratory for analysis.
Thc laboratory will mainuain the samples in a cooler at 4° C.
The sample custodian at the hboratory will receiive and assume custody of the samples. The sample
custodian will verify that all samples are present, they are in good condition, they arc accompanied by a chain-of-
custody form, thc sample identification is complete and o~rresponds to the chain-of-custody form, and that the
temperature of thc shipping container is appropriate.
The verification samples will be analyzed using E?A methods 8020 for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene,
and xylenes, CAM-17 for metals, and EPA method 5030/8020 for total exwactable petwleum hydrocarbons. A state-
certified laboratory will be used and the results provided b~sed on a 24-hour turnaround time.
To assure the quality of the sampling results trip bl.'mk and matrix spike/matrix spike duplicaIe (IViS/IVlSD)
samples wiU be analyzed. The uip blank is a sample prepiu'ed by thc laboratory that is uansferred with the field
samples to ensure no contamination is introduced in transportation or handling. In thc MS/MSD analysis,
predetermined quantities of stock solutions of certain analytes are added to a sample matrix before sample exwaction,

for each of thc analytes detected and used to assess analytical accuracy. The relative percent difference between the
duplicate samples is calculated and used w assess analyficaJ[ precision.
Duplicate soil samples will not be collected during this sampling event.
All sampling equipment' that comes in contaclt with potentially contaminated soil will be decontaminated
before ,and after use. In addition, ,all soil sampling tubes will be cleaned before use. Sampling equipment will be
decont,'uninated by washing with Alconox or tri-sodium phosphate, rinsing with tap water, and rinsing with analyte-
free water. All deconlamination water will be drummed with the sludge and disposed of in the same manner.
While collecting soil samples, the sampler will wear robber surgical gloves. The gloves will be replaced
with new ones for every sample taken to minimize cross: contamination. Each sample tube will be completely filled
:md undisturbed to minimize volatilization.
Waste Characterization Sampling
The sample for waste characterization will be collected in two 1-quart jars with ~flon fined septa provided
by the disposal facility. The jars will be riffled using a hand trowel decontamination as specified above and labeled.
The sample(s) will be analyzed for RCRA hazardous waste characteristics.

Dear Mr. MacKessy:
Thank you for your timely submittal of the Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston
Sump Closure Plan: Draft Report. Before approval of the work plan can be granted, the
comments shown below must be addressed. These comments reflect the requirements of
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), th~ California Department of
Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and the Kern County Department of Environmental
Health Services (KCDEHS).
1)
Page 5 of the plan states that samples will be collected below the middle of the
sump at depths of 0.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 feet. If the soil is noticeably contaminated
at the 6 foot depth, additional samples must be taken every 5 feet to a point 5 feet
below the last suspected contamination.
2)
In addition to the samples under the sump, two soil samples must be taken along
the route of wash water flow from the wash rack to the sump.
3)
Either the plan should state that it will follow the directions for sampling methods
and procedures described in the EPA Region 9 Guidelines for Closure of Shallow
Disposal Wells, or it should describe the specific methods and procedures that will
be followed.
4)
In addition to CAM-17 metals, all samples must be analyzed for volatile organics
according to EPA method 8240 or EPA methods 8010 and 8020, and for total
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH).
5)
The cleanup levels on page 5 of the plan may not be appropriate. With the
assistance of DTSC and KCDEHS, the USEPA will evaluate the analytical results
and determine if further action is necessary.

SUBJECT:
CLASS V SHALLOW INJECTION WELL LOCATED AT
4110 WIBLE ROAD, #D, BAKERSFIELD, CA.
Dear Mr. Mackessy:
This letter is an official notice to inform you that the property
noted above has been determined ]Dy Kern County Environmental Health
Services Department to be the site of a class V shallow injection
well. This notice is sent to you because the Kern County
Assessor's office records indicate that you are the owner of the
property listed above.
An initial inspection was conducted on July 19, 1990. During the
inspection it was noted that there was a earthen sump located on
the north side of the shop building. It was determined that
discharge of industrial waste has drained into the sump via runoff
from the asphalt lot.
Pursuant to Code of Federal R,sgulations 40, (40 CFR), Section
144.12 (a) "no owner or operator shall...operate [an injection
well]...in a manner that allows the movement of fluid containing
any contaminant into underground sources of drinking water, if the
presence of that contaminant may cause a violation of any primary
drinking water regulation...or may otherwise adversely affect the
health of persons." It also states in Section 144.12 (c) (2) that
the Director may "order the injector to take such actions
(including, where required, closure of the injection well) as may
be necessary to prevent the vio].ation." In 40 CFR, Section 144.12
(d) authorizes the Director to require any action necessary,
including well closure, to prevent a Class V well (shallow
injection well) from adversely affecting the health of persons. The
Kern County Environmental Health Services (KCDEHS) has been
designated as the local administrating agency for the above
regulations.

The Department is responsible for regulating Class V shallow
injection wells which are in violation of primary drinking water
regulations or may otherwise adversely affect the health of
persons, KCDEHS requires closure of the well in such a manner that
ensures there will be no movement of fluid containing contaminant
into underground sources of drinking water. Therefore, KCDEHS may
require, as an element of proper well closure, cleanup in and
around the class V well.
To expedite KCDEHS approval, all well closure plans must, at a
minimum, address the following elements and describe in detail how
the compliance will be accomplished:
1. Describe an acceptable alternative for disposal of waste
fluids in the future.
2. Identify the locations of all drains, drain lines, dry
wells, and cesspools or septic systems at the facility.
3. Contact KCDEHS at least seven (7) days in advance of any
site operations relating to the workplan activities.
4. The contaminated soil must be excavated, and all visibly
contaminated soil must be disposed of in an approved
manner. Soil samples must be retrieved at depths of two (2)
and six (6) feet below tlhe sludge. The samples must be

Introcl[uction
This closure plan has been prepared in response., to and in accordance with the Environmental Protection
Agency (F. PA) Adminislrative Order Docket No. AO-CA92~01 (Order) section 15, dated September 30, 1992, issued
o
to Macke-Vee Company and Mr. Piston (the Respondents). The site is currently owned by Macke-Vee Company
and operated by Mr. Piston Machine and Parts.
The closure plan 'describes the tasks necessary to close a sump located at 4110 Wible Road #D in
Bakersfield, California, in accordance with requirements established by the EPA and the Kern County Department
of Environmental Health Services (KCDEHS). It includes a description of site conditions, the scope of work to be
performed, the characterization of the materials to be removed, a description of the transportation and waste disposal
mechanisms, a health and safety plan, and a list of report submittals. In addition, the sampling procedures and
quality assurance and quality control elements are provid~ed in Appendix A. This document has been prepared in
accordance with the EPA Region 9 Guidelines for Closure of Shallow Disposal Wells (1992) and guidance provided
by the KCDEHS to Mr. John MacKessy in a letter dated March 9, 1992 (Appendix B).
Background
On August 16, 1990, the KCDEHS inspected the Mr. Piston facility located at 4110 Wible Road #D in
Bakersfield, California, and discovered that a sump was being used to contain nm-off waste water from the washing
and steam cleaning of engine parts (Figure 1). The sump is located approximately 42 feet north of the Mr. Piston
building and is about 8 feet wide, 10 feet long and 2.8 feet deep. The sump is surrounded by a 3-foot concrete apron
border within an asphalt parking lot and appears to be unlined with an earthen bottom (Figure 2). The sides and the
bottom of the sump are earthen. The sump was fed strictly by overland flow and was not directly connected to any
drains, piping, or septic systems. The KCDEHS has classified the sump as a Class V shallow injection well.
On October 9, 1991, the KCDEHS sent a violation notice to the respondents requiring them to sample and
remove the sludge that had accumulated in the sump. The respondents took samples from the sludge and submitted
the results to the KCDEHS in a letter dated February 4, 1992. A sample of the sludge was analyzed for California
Analytical Method (CAM) 17 heavy metals, volatile organic compounds.(VOCs), total peltoleum hydrocarbons
(TPH) as gasoline and diesel, and oil and grease. Sampti~ng results m'e presented in Appendix C. The only racial

detected al a concentration exceeding its total threshold ii,nit concentration ClTLC) of 1000 mg/kg was lead which
was measured at 6,830 mg/kg'in the sludge. The only vocs detected in the sample Were those typicaliy found in
pela'oleum products. Such constituents included benzene (5 mg/kg), ethyl benzene (6 mg/kg), toluene (15 mg/kg),
and xylenes (57 rog/kg). The concenuation of TPH as gasotine was 300 mg/kg and the concentration of TPH as
diesel was 1,500 rog/kg. The level of oil and grease deto:ted was 41,000 mg/kg.
In compliance with the request of the KCDEHS in October 1991, the Respondents immediately ceased all
activities associated with the steam cleaning of engine pa~ and are not allowing any fluids in to the sump through
the placement of a temporary cover (Appendix E).
In September 1992, the EPA assumed responsibility as the lead agency for the site and issued an
achninistrative order to the Respondents. The EPA made a determination that there is a potential for the contaminants
to migrate into underground sources of drinking water and that the elevated concentrations of these contaminants in
the drinking water could be baTardous to human health. The EPA has ordered the Respondents to cease all
operations associated with the sump and submit a workpl~aa for its closure. After the workplan has been approved
by the EPA, the Respondents must implement the plan ~md submit a final report within 60 days of the date of
approval.
Scope of Work
This scope of work describes in detail the events that will take place during the closure of the sump. The
EPA, the Department of Toxic Substances Conu'ol (DTSC), and KCDEHS will be contacted at least seven days in
advance of any site operations relating to closure activitie.~;. The sump will be closed in accordance with the terms
of the order from EPA Region 9 and KCDEHS guidelines. Closure will consist of excavating the sludge that remains
in the sump and any contaminated soil and properly disposing of them.
The sludge is estimated to be 1.6 feet deep and approximately 8 feet by 10 feet in surface area. Before
excavating the sludge, all underground utilities will be identified. The 2.5-inch diameter metal pipes forming a grate
covering the sump will be removed to gain access. The sludge will be removed with a backhoe and the excavation
will proceed until the walls and floor consist of visibly clean soil. It is estimated that approximately 6 to 10 cubic
yards of sludge and soil will need to be removed.
-4.
The sludge will be placed in a properly lined bin and labeled .wilh. thc, collection date
waste will be properly characterized and disposed of (see below).
Verification samples will be collected below the middle of the sump at depths of 0.5, 2.0,. 4~0, and 6.0 feet.
If thc soil is visibly contaminated at the 6 foot depth, addi~onal samples will be takon every 5 feet to a depth 5 feet
below the last suspected contamination. The samples will be analyzed by a state certified laboratory for CAM-17
metals, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), and TPH as diesel. Samples will be collected in
accordance with the sampling and analysis plan presented in Appendix A. The samples will provide the technical and
analytical data necessary to determine whether contaminants have migrated beyond the excavation limits. The
excavation pit will be secured and covered while the samples are being analyzed.
Verification sampling results will be provided to EPA who, with the assistance of the DTSC and the
KCDEHS, will evaluate the analytical results and determine if further action is necessary. If the results confn'm that
no further remediation is necessary, (i.e., all verification samples are less that cleanup standards) the sump will be
backfilled and compacted with clean material. An asphalt cap will be placed directly above the compacted fill material
returning the site to its original grade, ff the results indicate that there is residual contamination, then further
excavation and verification sampling may occur. The extent of possible further excavation will be based on the
verification sampling results. If the sump requires extensive excavation or additional remedial action appears to be
required, then the excavated pit will be covered with teml:orary trench plates and an impermeable liner, the rem~i_a_l
options will be evaluated, and a new work plan will be prepared.
Waste Characterization
A composite sample will be collected from the 55-gallon drums and analyzed to detexmine the appropriate
method for disposal of the waste material. The material will be analyzed for the characteristics of hazardous waste
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act CRCI~k), as specified in 40 C.F.tL Part 261 Appendix H and the
EPA order. The analytical results will be submitted to the: EPA.
Transportation and Disposal
Following waste characteriTmion, the material will be disposed of at an appropriate California certified
disposal facility. The bin containing thc sludge will be properly lined, labeled, and manifested. The wastes will be
-5"
wansponed in accordance wilh all appropriate U.S. DOT ~;gn,lations. No war,~ malefials..will.be allowed lo leavethe
site until the load is secured, covered, and proper shipping papers have been completed and provided m Ohe drivers.
Health and Safety
An exclusion zone will be established in the imme. diate area of excavation and mmked by ban'ier tape. The
zone can be adjusted as necessary. A Site Safety Officer (SSO) will be responsible for informing all individuals
entering the exclusion zone of the contents of this plan and for ensuring that each person signs the Safety Plan
Acknowledgment Form (Appendix F). By signing the S,'ffety PLan Acknowledgement Form, individuals are
acknowledging that they have been informed of the presence of specific hazards on-site and the policies and
procedures required to minimize exposure to potential adverse effects of site ha?~ds.
All personnel entering the exclusion zone must I~tve completed training requirements for haTardous waste
site work in accordance with Occupational Safety and E[ealth Administration (OSHA) requirements at 29 CFR
1910.120. The SSO will conduct a site safety kick-off mee~!ing to addres'~ the site conditions. All personnel entering
the exclusion zone must have completed appropriate medical monitoring requirements required under 29 CFR
1910.120(0.
Previous sampling and analytical dam have indicated that the constituents of concern at the site include lead
and benzene, chemical hazards associated with these constituents are presented below:
1. Lead (inorganic).
· The OSHA time weighted average (TWA) is 0.05 mg/m3 for air exposure in a 8-hour work day
for a 40 hour work week
· The immediate dangerous to life and health, (IDLH) level is 700 mg/m~ through inhalation
· The route of exposure could be through inhalation or ingestion
2. Benzene
The NIOSH TWA (10-hour work day) is 0.1 ppm
· The IDLH is 3,000 ppm through inhalation
· The route of exposure could be through inhalation or ingestion
Because of the potential ha?ards at the site due to the presence of organic vapors, the air will be sampled
regularly with a photoionization detector (PID) to determine if organic vapor levels rise above background. Level
.6.¸
level of VOCs measured exceeds background by 50 parts per million (ppm) at anytime or b~,~'~'~fO~IS '~'~minutes. ''~
Upgrade to level C will also occur if the $S0 believes ~t the work functions present the opportunity for splashes,
immersion in, inhnlotion of, or contact with baT~rclous concentrations of chemicals.
Level D PPE will consist of:
· Chemical-resistant coveralls or standard work uniforms, as needed.
· Steel-toe ~afety boots.
· Gloves as needed.
· Safety glasses as needed.
· Hard hat.
Level C PPE will consist of the above plus:
· Chemical-resistant coveralls (uncoated, e.g., Tyvek)
· Disposable, chemical-resistant gloves
· Air purifying respirator with organic/high-efficiency particu!ste air-purifying cartridges
A confined space is defined as a space or wo:rk area not designated or intended for normal human
occupancy, having limited means of access and poor ventilation, or any structure, including buildings or rooms,
which have limited means of egress. There are no confined space entries anticipated for this site.

PROJECT NAME: Bakersfield
PROJECT #: CA117204
DATE: June 11, 1993
LAB REPORT #: 3F13601
The samples in this report have been analyzed by SW-846 method 8240 for
Volatile Organics, Modified 8015 for 'l"otal Extractable Hydrocarbons and by 6010
and 7471 for the CAM 17 metals.
For method 8420, samples 3F13601 (S-0.5-Sump), 3F13602 (S-2-Sump), and
3F13603 (S-4-Sump) were extracted on June 8, 1993. The samples showed
Iow surrogate recovery and were reextracted in accordance with method 8240.
The reextraction also demonstrated Iow surrogate recovery, therefore, the values
reported for these samples should be considered estimated.
The extraction blank for the Total Extractable Hydrocarbons (Modred 8015) had
contamination believed to be from viial septa. The blank contamination was not
subtracted from the sample results because it was either negligible with respect
to the sample or not present as evidence by the pattern of the chromatograms.
The method blank for copper and zinc also showed contamination, which was
also not blank subtracted from the sample results. This contamination was
negligible with respect to the sample results.

Dear Mrs. Brouwers:
As per our phone conversation, this letter is to inform you that
I plan to collect the two soil samples along the drainage way at
the Macke-Vee property located at 4110 Wible Road, ~D in Bakers-
field, California.
The soil sampling and analysis in the drainage way is not part of
the agreement between Mr. John Mackessy and the party that
constructed the sump. Mr. Mackessy requested that I collect and
have analyzed the two soil samples from the drainage way. The
soil samples will be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the
sump closure plan prepared by Environmental Strategies Corpora-
tion. BC Laboratories will analyze the soil samples as per the
work plan. Soil sample collection will be witnessed by personnel
form the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Dear Mr. MacKessy:
Thank you for your timely submittal of the *revised Macke-Vee Company and Mr.
Piston Sump Closure Plan and for addressing comments 1, 5, and 6 of my letter dated
December 31, 1992, in a satisfactory manner. Before approval of the work plan can be
granted, comments 2, 3, and 4 from the December 31, 1992, letter must also be
addressed. These comments reflect the requirements of the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA), the California Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC), and the Kern County Department of Environmental Health Services
(KCDEHS).
Comment No. from December 31, 1992 lette_r
2)
During inspections of the site, both KCDEHS and DTSC persormel noted that
Mr. Piston employees were washing equipment at a washrack located at the rear
of the building and that the washwater was then flowing over the ground to the
sump. Therefore we believe that it is necessary to sample the soil under this
drainage route to determine if any contamination exists. The work plan must
describe how and where such samples will be taken.
3)
Appendix A: Sampling and Analysis PI, re~Quality Assurance Control Plan of the
work plan states that trip blank and matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate samples
will be analyzed. As described on page 20 of the EPA Region 9 Guidelines for
Closure of Shallow Disposal Wells, the work plan must state that at least one
replicate blank will be analyzed.
Printed on Recycled Paper
4)
COuld be present at the site because businesses such as Mr. Piston and previous
tenants at the site have COmmonly used solvents COnm~nlng VOCs to b. leanparts
and equipment. Regarding the earlier samples mentioned in the letter from'
Environmental Strategies Corporation, dated January 18, 1993, we don't have any
information about how those samples were taken, so we don't COnsider the
samples to be reliable indicators of the presence or absence of any COntaminants
at the site. Therefore the work plan :must state that the soil samples will be
analyzed for VOCs .in accordance with either EPA method 8240 or EPA methods
8olo/8o2o.
As described on page 9 of the EP,4 Region 9 Guidelines for Closure of Shallow
Disposal Wells, the well casing must be removed prior to soil sampling. Therefore the
work plan' must describe how the concrete apron and any COncrete sidewalls will be
removed and properly disposed of.
As stated in paragraph 19 of the Adn~tistrative Order, you have ten days to
submit a new work plan addressing these comments. Once the work plan is approved,
you will have sixty days to implement it and submit a final report.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Cynthia Brouwers of my
staff at (415) 744-1839.
