1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results' of a preliminary site characterization performed by
Earth Systems Environmental, Inc. (ESE) at the above referenced site. The '.purpose of
the characterization was to assess the v. ertical and lateral extent of soil impacted by
gasoli.ne hydrocarbons assoc'iated with a release from the former 3,000 gallon
underground gasoline storage tank, fuel dispenser, and associated product pipeline
removed under City .of Bakersfield permit from the above referenced facility.. TOtal
Purgeable Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPPHg) and the' gasoline constituent
volatile aromatics were not .detected at or above the'detection limit in the. sample TH-1.
analyzed from beneath the former underground storage tank. However,. TPPHg were
detected at concentrations of 21 mg/kg, and 4,000 mg,kg from the samples TH-2 and
TH-3. TH-2 was positioned beneath the product pipeline on the side of the tank
excavation pit at a depth of 6 feet, where there was a visual indication questioning
the integrity of the tank. 'TH-3 was positioned beneath the product pipeline run.
TPPHg was detected at concentrations of 1,000 mg/kg in sample TH-4 from beneath
the former' dispenser. Volatile aromatic compounds were detected in minor

preliminary site characterization on July 1, 1992 consisting of a single excavation
trench and laboratory analysis of six soil samples to assess the vertical and lateral
extent of' gasoline impacted soil in the vicinity of the former gasoline product
pipeline, and dispenser.
All methods employed were in compliance with regulations and guidelines set forth
in California 'Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, Article 11, and Title 23, Chapter 3,
California Site Mitigation Decision, Tree Manual, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Title 29, Part 19.10, Section 120, CFR Title 40, Parts 300-399, Tri-Regi°nal Board Staff

Tank Sites, Kern County, and City of Bakersfield regulations, as well as accepted
professional environmental/geotechnieal engineering procedures.
The scope of work for this prOject was developed in conjunction with Mr. Tom
Lockwood of Franzen Hill Corporation representing Bakersfield College and Mr. Joe
Dunwoody of the City of Bakersfield Fke Department, Hazardous Materials Division.
In addition, remedial action alternatives are presented. Work performed to date
includes the following:
Development of site health and safety, and technical work plans.

1.1 Site Description
The site is located at 1801 Panorama Drive in the city of Bakersfield in. Kern COunty,
California .(Figure 1). A 3,000 gallon underground gasoline storage tank,, fuel
dispenser, and associated product pipeline were removed on May 1, 1992 (Figure 2).
The .underground storage tank was operated to fuel Bakersfield College's maintenance
department vehicles.
1.2 Background
Bakersfield College contracted with Franzen Hill of Tulare, California to remove the.
underground fuel storage tank, dispenser, and associated product pipeline at the site.
On May 1, 1992, Franzen Hill removed the tank, dispenser, and associated product
pipeline. The tank was removed under permit with the City of Bakersfield Fire
Department, Hazardous Materials Division.
Franzen Hill contracted with Earth Systems Environmental to provide an
environmental technician to collect soil samples at the direction of Mr'. Joe Dunwoody
with the City of Bakersfield .Fire Department, Hazardous Materials Division.
One soil sample (TH-l) was collected from beneath-the center of the 'the former tank
'location at a depth of 11 feet below surface grade (Figure 2). Two soil samples (TH-2,
and TH-3) were collected from beneath the former product pipeline at a depth of 6
and 4 -feet-below sUrface grade,-respectively. One soil sample (TH-4) was Collected
'from beneath the former dispenser at a depth of 4 feet below surface grade. The
samples were co'llected from the backhoe bucket immediately after soil excavation
and stored in 2" brass tubes, sealed with teflonTM liners and end caps. The samples
were then labeled, handled and transported according to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) protocol to a State of California
Department of Health Services (DOHS) certified laboratory. Sample identification and
chain-of-custody procedures were utilized for the samples to ensure sample integrity
and to document sample possession from the time of collection to its ultimate

destination. The sample label .identified the job number, samPler, date and. time of
collection and sample number unique to. the sample. All sampling: equipment was
washed with TSPTM (tri-sodium phosphate): cleanser, pre-r-insed with tap water .and a
final' rinse of de-ionized water prior to sampling.
The soil samples designated for chemical analysis were submitted to B C Laboratories
in Bakersfield, a State of California Department of Health Services (DOHS) certified
laboratory. Appendix A presents copies of the analytical .results and chain-of-
custody documents. The soil samples, were analyzed for Total. Purgeable Petroleum
Hydrocarbons as gasoline '(TPPHg) using the California DOHS .LUFT Method, and for
the gasoline constituent volatile aromatics, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total
xylenes (BTEX) using USEPA Test Method 8020.
Total Purgeable Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gasoline and the gasoline constituent
volatile aromatics were not detected at or above the detection limit in the sample TH-1
analyzed from beneath the former underground storage tank. However,. TPPH as
gasoline were detected .at concentrations of 21 mg/kg, and 4,000 mg,kg from ~the
samples TH-2 and TH-3. TH-2 was positioned beneath the product pipeline on the side
of the excavation at a depth of 6 feet, where there was a visual indication questioning
the integrity of the tank. TH-3 was positioned beneath the product pipeline run.
TPPH as gasoline was detected at concentrations of 1,000 mg/kg in sample TH-4 from
beneath the former dispenser. Volatile aromatic compounds were detected in minor
concentrations in samples TH-2 and TH-3, -but were detected in significant
concentrations in TH-4 with benzene detected at 2 mg/kg.
Table I presents a summary of the analytical results for TPPH as gasoline, and the
gasoline constituent volatile aromatics in the four soil samples:

2 .~0 METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
2.1 Excavation and. Soil SamPling
Prior to commencing field operations, a technical work' plan was reviewed and
apprOved by City of Bakersfield .Fire Department, Hazardous Materials Division
personnel. Underground Service Alert was notified 48 hours in advance of the site
activities. Excavation commenced on July 1, 1-992 using a backhoe operated by
Franzen Hill Corporation. Excavating proceeded to a length-and width of 15 feet
centered .on the product pipeline, and to a depth of 12 feet below surface grade
(Figure 2).

Soil samples were cOllected at 5-foot intervals in .during excavation to provide a
vertical profile of the gasoline hydrocarbons. Soil samples were also collected' at a
depth of 12 .feet :from the south, west and north sidewalls as vcell as the center of the
excavation base. No sample was collected from the eastern sidewall since a sample
had been collected there during the tank removal operations. The samples were
collected from the backhoe bucket immediately after soil excavation and stored in 2"
brass tubes, sealed with-tefl°nTM liners and end caps. The samples were then labeled,
handled and transported according to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) protocol to a State of California Department of Health Services
.(DOHS) certified laboratory. Sample identification .and chain-of-custody procedures
were utilized for the samples to ensure sample integrity and to document sample
possession from the time of collection to its ultimate destination. The sample label
identified the job number, sampler, date and time of collection and sample number
unique to the sample. All sampling equipment was' washed with 'TSPTM (tri-sodium
phosphate) cleanser, pre-rinsed with tap water and a final rinse of de-ionized water
prior to sampling..
During excavation, soil samples were collected from the base and sidewalls, of the
excavation pit, and will be screened .for total organic vapors with a portable
photOionization detector (PID). Headspace vapor analysis was performed by filling a
.mason jar to 50% capacity to produce, a head space allowing volatilization for a period
of 15 minutes, and protruding the probe of the PID through the cap and into the
.headspace for analysis. The PID .readings were recorded on the daily log. An
environmental technician was on site to log the excavation trench, monitor soils
during excavation for conta.mina.tion, .and collect soil samples.
2.2 Laboratory Analysis..
Six soil samples were sent to B.C. Laboratories, of Bakersfield, California, a state-
certified laboratory for chemical analysis. The soil-samples were analyzed for total
purgeable petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPPHg)with a minimum detection
limit of 5.0 rog/kg,, and the gasoline constituent volatile aromatics benzene, .toluene,
ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX) with a minimum detection limit of 0:5 rog/kg
using USEPA Test Method 5030/GCFID, and USEPA Test Method 5030/8020.

3.0 -RESULTs OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
3.1 Geologic Conditions
Regional Geology: The site is located in the southern part of the Great Valley
· geomorphic prowince. The. Great Valley is a north-south trending valley,
approximately 400 miles long by 50 miles wide. Surface and groundwater in the San
Joaquin Valley is derived predominantly from the Sierra Nevada mountain 'range to
the east,, and is transported by five major rivers, the southern most being the Kern
River. The subject .site is' located' approximately .1/2 miles south of the Kern River.
The surface of the San Joaquin Valley is composed primarily of unconsolidated
Pleistocene (1.6 million to 11,000 years ago) and Recent (1.1,000 years ago to the
present) alluvial sediments. Beneath the alluvial sediments are older, predominantly
lake bed deposits. These lie unconformably .on Mio-Pliocene marine sediments which
extend to crystalline basement at approximately 20,000 feet.
Site Geology: Geologic deposits in the study area include Pleistocene .alluvial
sediments of the Kern River Formation, which form a homoeline dipping to the
southwest. The deposits are alluvium consisting of poorly .indurated and dissected fan
deposits (CDMG, 1964). The subject property is located at the. top of the Panorama
Bluffs 'at ~a .n elevation .400 feet above the sOuth side of the Kern River.
The depth to the regional unconfined aquifer is greater than 400 feet below surface
grade beneath the site with the direction of groundwater flow to the southwest (Kern
County Water Agency, Improvement District No. 4, 1991 Report on Water Conditions,
February, .1992). The nearest known occurrence of perched groundwater is five
miles to the southwest at a depth of 20 feet in the abandoned Kern River channel to
the ancient Kern Lake 'Bed .(Kern County Water Agency, 1991 Water Supply Report,
May 1992). No-perched groundwater is known to exist beneath the subject site.

3.2 Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface material encountered during drilling was alluvium to the tOtal depth of
.the trench. The .alluvium was characterized by consolidated, highly permeable~ very
slightly moist, light brown, well graded gravelly sand (SW/GW)with numerous-large
cobbles to ':boulders.
3.3 Soil Vapor .Monitoring
Soil samples collected during drilling were monitored with a photo-ionization
detector (PI.D) to evaluate organic vapor Concentrations. The PID was calibrated with
an isobutylene standard of t00 parts per million (ppm) and contained an 11.8
electron volt (eV) lamp, capable of detecting benzene (9.25 eV). Soil vapor
concentrations were detected in each. of the samples field screened from the 'trench
as well as the sidewalls at concentrations greater than 2000 parts per million (ppm).
These field readings are collaborated by the analytical results presented below.
3.5 Laboratory Analytical Results
All six of the soil samples analyzed contained concentrations of total purgeable
petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPPHg) in excess of 1,000 rog/kg. TPPHg was
detected in the trench at a concentration of 1,800 mg/kg at a depth of 5 feet, 3,200
mg/kg at .10 feet and 1,800 mg/kg at 12 feet as well as 1,700 rog/kg in the western
sidewall, 3,200 rog/kg in the southern sidewall and 1,900 mg/kg'in the northern
sidewall.
The gasoline constituent volatile aromatic, benzene was detected in three of the six
soil samPles. Benzene was not detected in the samples from the center of the trench
at 5 and I0 feet or the southern sidewall at 12 feet. Benzene was detected in the
western sidewall at 0.7 rog/kg, in the northern sidewall at 0.8 mg/kg, and' in the
trench base at 0.6 rog/kg. The gasoline constituent volatile arOmatics, toluene,
ethylbenzene, and total xylenes were detected in all six of the soil samples.
Regional Water Quality Control Board recommended guidelines for gasoline, and the
gasoline constituent volatile aromatics, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total
xylenes have been calculated using the LUFT methodology by multiplying the most

stringent current .federal ..or state water quality standards by a factor of 1,000 to
account for attenuation, due to site-specific parameters including vertical.-separati6n
to groundwater, soil lithology, fractures in subsurfaces, annual -average
precipitation, and any direct conduits to groundwater. The recommended guidelines
are 1,000 rog/kg for TPPH as gasoline, 1.0 mg/kg for benzene and toluene, and 50
mg/kg for ethylbenzene and total xylenes.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
The data obtained from the tank removal operations suggest that soil. impacted with
gasoline hy~drocarbons at concentrations in excess RWQCB recommended guidelines
exist at the subject site in an area beneath the former location of the gasoline
-dispenser and product pipeline. The subsequent soil excavating activities indicate
that ~gasoline -hY~d~oearb~o~ in -excess -~f 1.,000' mg/kg-extend tO. a depth--great~~ ~than -
~.-12 'feet below surface~ :grad~e. -Based on the field information and analytical data, 'it
appears that additional site characterization, and remedial activities will be required
by the City of Bakersfield Fire Department, Hazardous Materials Division. The
additional site investigation should consist of soil-borings to assess both the vertical
and .lateral .extent of the gasoline hydrocarbons in the subsurface. Because-of the
large boulders known to be .present in this area, drilling is often difficUlt if not
iinpossible with a conventional hollow stem auger rotary drill rig. The size of the
boulders also renders a reverse air rotary drill rig ineffective. A mud rotary drill rig
will ,have the capability to penetrate the soils .in this area, however ,many regulatory
agencies are adverse to the use of drilling fluids through contaminated soil. Mud
rotary rigs can be equiped with a Christensen 64 mm sampling devise to obtain valid
samples from the soil in from of the drill bit. The drilling fluid will be required to be
contained and tested to determine if' it is as a hazardous material.
The most acceptable environmental drilling method for sediments with large
boulders is a dual walled percussion hammer drill rig. This .type of rig will have no
difficulty drilling through the sediments in this area, and does so without the
addition of liquids. Therefore, no liquids are generated which may require disposal.
HoWever, the cost for a norma'l assessment using a hollow stem auger is
approximately $5,000. That will cover just the cost to mobilize and demobilize a
hammer drill rig to a site in Bakersfield. The cost to drill .the assessment' holes, can
easily be another $15,000 to $25,000. ESE recommends that the .City of Bakersfield Fire
Department, Hazardous Materials Division consider permitting the use of a mud
rotary .drill rig to conduct the next ~hase of assessment.

$ .~0 CLOSURE
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Bakersfield College as it
pertains to the location of the former 3,000 gallon gasoline tank at 1801 Pamorama
Drive in Bakersfield, California. The results contained in each verbal or written
report are based upon the information-acquired during the assessment. It is possible
that variations could exist beyond points explored during the course of the
investigation. Also, changes in .conditiOns found could occur at some time in the
future due to contaminant migration, variations in rainfall, temperature, and/or
other factors not apparent at the time of the field investigation. This report should
not be regarded as a guarantee that n° further contamination, beyond that which
may have been detected within the scope of this study, is present on or beneath the
site. If additional information regarding the possible presence or past use of
hazardous materials at the site becomes available, .then the need for further field
investigation should be re-evaluated. Similarly, if suspected contaminatiOn is
'encountered during earthwork ~ .or construction activities, a qualified engineer .or
geologist should be on-site to monitor the soils and collect samples for laboratory
analysis. The serVices performed by ESE were conducted in a manner consistent with
the level of care and skill, ordinarily exercised by members of our profession
currently practicing under similar conditions in the state of California. No other
warranty is expressed .or implied.
Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. If you have any questions regarding
